Pablo J. Boczkowski

Department of Communication Studies

Pablo Boczkowski's research program examines the transition from print to digital media, with a focus on the organizational and occupational dynamics of contemporary journalism. He is the author of Digitizing the News: Innovation in Online Newspapers (MIT Press, 2004), News at Work: Imitation in an Age of Information Abundance (University of Chicago Press, 2010), and over twenty papers and fifty conference presentations. He is currently working on three book projects. The first, joint with Eugenia Mitchelstein, analyzes the divergent online news preferences of journalists and consumers in North America, Latin America and Western Europe, and reflects on the implications of this divergence for the future of media and democracy. The second is an ethnographic and historical study of the demise of print newspapers in the United States, France and Argentina as a window into larger dynamics of institutional crisis. The third, in collaboration with Tarleton Gillespie and Kirsten Foot, is an edited volume on the linkages between the fields of communication and science and technology studies.
