Abstract
The birth of the so called Justice and Development Party proponent media and increased media capture leading to an eventual collapse of what was known as mainstream news media, catalysed the emergence of native digital and platform-based news media in which new players emerged. These new players emphasised ‘do it yourself’ and ‘self-actualizing citizenship’ (Kligler-Vilenchik, New Media & Society 19:1887–1903, 2017) because their main emphasis was on maintaining democratic standards and independence in media and communication. New media convergence afford entrepreneurial journalists; media professionals and content producers to fill a gap in the news media that was previously filled with the mainstream. However, this potential may be overshadowed by a number of internal and external factors related to contemporary journalism’s global vulnerability; these include sustainability of revenue models, precarisation of journalism and political polarisation. This chapter offers a general summary of the preceding work and offers concluding reflections. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
