Abstract

This chapter introduces “fluid publishing” as a paradigm for journalistic publishing. It identifies and explains the four trends of data-driven journalism, journalism as a process, 24/7 publishing and service personalization as core drivers of fluid publishing. It will give rise to new online publishing formats and require organizational change processes, which in turn create the need for new holistic information systems. Such information systems will have to reconcile the strategic-rational function with a rewarding-emotional aspect, as well as define new journalism-centric metrics embracing high-level concepts of quality in journalism.
