ABSTRACT. Reese claims that understanding journalism in an “era of globalization” means going beyond a general update of news systems and practices in various countries. Sassen puts it that we need to retheorize digital space: the polarization between Internet romancers and the logic of business and markets is contributing to a parallel polarization in the discourse about digital space. Rossiter investigates the possibility of at once conceiving a processual theory for media studies whilst locating the emergent concept of process alongside a series of problems.
