I took a trip to Brandon Hills. and went for a hike.
Digital Journalism like legacy journalism is used to help people make sense of the world and make appropriate choices.
In the case of digital journalism one of the beats is the digital "turn" that has transformed the world. Journalists need tools and frameworks for critical analysis.
Technological Determinism vs Social Shaping of Technology are philosophical dichotomies that are used to understand changes.
One of the definitions of "human" is that we use tools, since we were homo habilus.
Does society change based on the technology available or does technology arise out of a social need?
All these are great starting points for digital journalists. They give a foothold for action on complex stories and help people understand what is going on in their worlds.
