Beginning by identifying these peripheral actors specifically, the book then considers whether what they do is \"journalism\" as traditionally conceived, what their motivations are, and why their role is important in light of journalism's democratic function in holding power to account. Ultimately, it is argued that, despite the perceived role of peripheral actors as \"deviant\", they still demonstrate a surprising degree of ideological continuity in the face of industrial disruption. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on research from Australia, Germany, and the United Kingdom, \u003ci\u003ePeripheral Actors in Journalism\u003c\/i\u003e is an insightful resource for journalism and media scholars with an interest in alternative media sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAljosha Karim Schapals\u003c\/strong\u003e (FHEA) is Senior Lecturer in Journalism and Political Communication in the School of Communication of Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane, Australia, as well as a Chief Investigator in the Digital Media Research Centre (DMRC).
