[Air-L] book announcement for Routledge "Disruptions" series

[William Mari]

Hi everyone!

Please forgive this utterly shameless plug, but I wanted to bring a new short book to your attention:

"A Short History of Disruptive Journalism Technologies 1960-1990"

https://www.routledge.com/A-Short-History-of-Disruptive-Journalism-Technologies-1960-1990/Mari/p/book/9780815367918 

It quickly covers the history of the computerization of the American newsroom during the latter half of the Cold War, with a focus on word processing, early conceptualizations of "portable"/"mobile" computing, early databases/networks, and the larger shift from analog to digital newsrooms and the lead up to the commercial internet. It's also available via Google Books and Amazon, in addition to Routledge. 

Thank you! Have a great rest of your day,

Will Mari
