News pursued modernism from machine to digital times -- Industrial news became modern -- Stories only seemed shorter -- Longer news turned elite -- "Who"- people disappeared as news expanded -- Groups supplanted persons -- Authorities replaced others -- News gained status but lost touch -- "What"- events, the basic stuff of news, declined -- Events dwindled in print stories -- The "what" waned in broadcast news -- Modern events resumed online -- "Where"- locations for news grew more remote -- Local lost ground to distant news -- Newscasters appeared closer -- News traded place for digital space -- "When"- the now of news pursued modernism -- The press adopted linear time -- Newscasters seemed more hurried -- News online reentered modern time -- "Why"- against all odds, interpretation advanced -- The press grew more interpretive -- Broadcast news became less episodic -- Online news reverted to sense-making -- News transformed: So what and now what? -- Social values enabled change -- Modernism exposed the flaws of news -- Realism could rekindle hope.

Summary: A spidery network of mobile online media has supposedly changed people, places, time, and their meanings. A prime case is the news. Digital webs seem to have trapped 'legacy media', killing off newspapers and journalists' jobs. Did news businesses and careers fall prey to the digital 'spider'? To solve the mystery, Kevin Barnhurst spent 30 years studying news going back to the realism of the 1800s. The usual suspects - technology, business competition, and the pursuit of scoops - are only partly to blame for the fate of news.
