Post-Journalism
Book •
Post-Journalism, by Andrey Mir, analyzes how the internet disrupted traditional news economics and professional norms, producing an engagement-driven media ecosystem.
Mir argues that advertising replacement and attention-driven platforms incentivized outrage, sensationalism, and identity signaling, reshaping what counts as news.
The book traces the institutional consequences for journalism, including credentialism and the collapse of public epistemic authority.
Mir situates these shifts within broader media evolution, seeing them as part of a pattern that may ultimately reverse earlier cultural functions.
The work is frequently referenced alongside his other media-theory books as part of a coherent critique of digitization.
