Abstract

Digital news media -and, together with them, the scholarly research on this phenomenon- are entering their third decade. Throughout the years, research on online journalism has progressed and diversified considerably. However, some areas could still achieve further development. The author proposes five ideas to give a boost to this research discipline in the next decade: 1) move towards a digital native research framework; 2) use advanced technologies in research; 3) focus on research that encourages innovation; 4) increase the amount of analytical research, instead of descriptive studies; and 5) investigate unexplored topics and areas.
