Post-journalism refers to reimagining journalism for a globalized, networked society where information constantly circulates but does not necessarily lead to more informed decisions. This society may need digested information over raw information, and determining what type of information it needs could redefine journalism and reorder the field, reshuffling various practices like data journalism, news aggregation, and citizen witnessing.

We – all stakeholders, that is, in the end, everybody – need to radicalise
journalistic norms and functions, and move towards imagining not only post- industrial, but post-journalism. This would refer to the kind of journalism that applies itself to the kind of society we live in, a globalised network society, in which information is both its lifeline and its means of control, in which the constant communication instead of leading to more informed decisions ends up in meaningless circulation in an environment described as communicative capitalism. What does this society need? More information or more digested information? More layers of mediation through visuals and infographics? More personalisation and affective news? Or something else? And if so, what? Determining this will at once redefine and reorder the field, leading to a reshuffling of the various positions and establishing the value and relative worth of various practices, data journalism, news aggregation, citizen witnessing, opinion blogs, affective news and so on.
