“…Scholars have grappled with journalism in the digital age, leading the field of journalism studies to take a socio-technical turn (Carlson et al 2018). Trends identified include a rise in 'atypical newswork' (Cottle 2003, Deuze & Marjoribanks 2009, Deuze & Fortunati 2011, the presence of aggregation alongside traditional reporting as a key form of newswork (Boczkowski 2011, Anderson 2013, and the increased flexibility allowed by developments in both software and hardware (Singer 2011, Dean 2019, with contemporary court reporting practices now driven by online and social tools (Lambert 2011, Knight 2017, Johnston 2018. Certainly, while newsrooms may have shrunk during the financial crisis in journalism, they have retained a key role in news production in the UK's local newspapers, a role that has potentially even been enhanced as more newswork has been hubbed within centralised buildings (Moore 2015, Townend 2015, Howells 2016.…”

Local journalism in the UK has been described as being in 'crisis'. Local newspapers have experienced years of declining circulations and staff cuts, leading to questions about how effectively those institutions can continue to perform normative functions of journalism. One of those is to report on the courts. Through analysis of 22 semistructured interviews with local newspaper reporters who cover the courts beat, agency court reporters who supply the local press, as well as broadcast journalists involved in both local and national court coverage, this paper helps to establish how the daily newswork of court journalists has developed amid a turbulent period in journalism, especially local journalism. The research finds that court reporting has been less affected than other news beats but faces a series of challenges related to financial cuts and other pressures. While the local press has become even more essential to the provision of court reporting, a central part of the news media's fourth estate role, those challenges affect the ability of court reporters to perform this function. This paper recommends that policymakers consider using a form of public funding to guarantee the future of court reporting at the local level.

“…However, they can generate an undesirable dependence [ 1 ]. In like manner, digital development is an essential platform for digital journalism which has acquired great prominence due, among other aspects, to its immediacy and impact [ 2 ].

Information and Communication Technologies have led to a new way of life and, in particular, of socialization. The objective of this study is to analyse the image social media disseminate of news taken from digital newspapers, based on the opportunities and drawbacks attributed to smartphone use by teenagers. An essentially qualitative methodology was used, on a sample of 1704 news items published in digital newspapers. The results and conclusions show that smartphone use by teenagers improves development of their digital competence, presents new academic opportunities (through gamification or mobile learning) and provides them with digital tools for school and leisure. The widespread drawbacks reflect the effects of the device on the deterioration of health (dependence, stress, psychosocial problems) and emotions, thereby succinctly affecting academic performance. A noticeable increase of positive news about smartphones was published in the major newspapers in December, while that on its negative effects, in September.

“…Moreover, digital development offers an essential platform for journalism that gives greater prominence to the social communication media, while producing greater impact and immediacy [6][7][8]. Gone are the days of exclusivity of the analogue press which has now irremediably ceded its space to the more versatile and widespread digital press, whose hunger for power and influence is rising.…”

The growth of ICTs has led to a new socialization model and a continuous dynamic flow of communication and information, wherein smartphones have become very popular with teenagers. This paper investigates what teenagers use smartphones for and the related intervention measures published in digital newspapers. A qualitative methodology was used to analyze 362 news items published in 53 Spanish digital newspapers. The results and conclusions indicate that teenagers use smartphones mainly for recreational purposes and sparingly for educational ones. The published intervention measures are primarily aimed at stimulating citizens’ reflections on the subject, in order to improve proper smartphone use by teenagers.
