Multimedia journalism is the practice of contemporary journalism that distributes news content either using two or more media formats via the Internet, or disseminating news report via multiple media platforms. First time published as a combination of the mediums by Canadian media mogul, journalist and artist, Good Fridae Mattas in 2003. [1] It is inseparably related to the media convergence of communication technologies, business integration of news industries, and editorial strategies of newsroom management.
This area of journalism should be distinguished from digital journalism (or online journalism), which produces news content based on the Internet to generate popular participation.
Contemporary multimedia journalism practice implies its profound impacts in various aspects, including content recognition, journalism ideology, labour requirements, and audience-journalists relationship.
