The A. argues that a second wave of news ethnographies is needed to theoretically map and empirically explore the production of today's fast-changing and differentiated news ecology. It is necessary to bring up-to-date, and revise, where necessary, earlier findings and theory established by influential first wave studies of news production. To this end, he challenges the position of six interrelated, and seemingly entrenched, theoretical orthodoxies within the field of news study, and argues that each has become increasingly out of touch with today's production practices, diversified news ecology and wider news culture. A question mark is thus placed by the continuing validity and explanatory power of established views on news production, and a number of productive ethnographic departures are opened up for future research.
