Emerging digital technologies are transforming representations of reality (Nichols 1991) at points of production, distribution, and reception. New Documentary Ecologies is a collective response which advocates for ecology (Fuller 2005), rather than context, as a frame for the investigation of emerging documentary. In doing so, the editors demand that the interdependent relationships between media are noticed as well as the contexts in which documentary is produced and consumed. This framework allows for a multi-layered collection of chapters from practitioners, academics, and industry professionals, acting as a guidebook to documentary practices in transition and introducing some of the challenges they present.

新纪录片生态：新兴平台、实践和话语

新兴的数字技术正在改变生产、分销和接收点对现实的表现（Nichols 1991）。新纪录片生态是一种集体回应，倡导生态（Fuller 2005），而不是背景，作为调查新兴纪录片的框架。在这样做时，编辑要求注意媒体之间的相互依存关系以及纪录片制作和消费的背景。该框架允许从从业者、学者和行业专业人士那里收集多层次的章节，作为转型中的纪录片实践的指南，并介绍了他们所面临的一些挑战。
