Digital convergence allows for the digitization of newspapers. Real-time online news media is on the rise, with both the quantity and the timeliness of online news surpassing newsprint, leading to a reduction of newsprint subscriptions and directly impacting advertisements. Nevertheless, errors and quality problems have surfaced with real-time online news, posing challenges to the professionalism of journalists.
Through in-depth interviews with journalists, this study attempts to analyze the impact of digitization on traditional newsprint and its subsequent transformation. The study finds that managers have revised the items for performance evaluation, with major changes implemented in the news collection process, and a new position of online editor emerging accordingly.
Through digital convergence, news digitization, journalism ethics, the value of journalism, and the Bourdieu and Lewin’s theories of field, this research aims to verify the impact of news digitization and digital convergence on newsprint media. News practitioners have begun to reflect on and to achieve a better balance; thus, digital transformation may not necessarily be detrimental and may in fact become a path to survival and achieve sustainable development.
