Who is a journalist now? Recognising atypical journalism work in the digital media economy
For the past two decades, understandings of the scale of digital disruption in journalism work in post-industrialised countries have relied on data about newspaper closures, newsroom job losses and the creation of new full-time jobs in journalism. Yet, the digital economy has fostered new employment and work arrangements, and there is less secure employment in journalism, making it more difficult to define who is a journalist now. Using a case st…
The blurring line between freelance journalists and self-employed media workers
This study uses the question, 'what makes a freelancer specifically a journalist' as a starting point for investigating the ways Australian freelance journalists experienced and managed precarious employment in COVID-19 impacted 2020. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 32 self-identified freelance journalists, we analyse the types of work they did, the influence of the precarious job situation on their work choices and the consequent ways the…
Media in the News
As the primary mechanism through which journalistic labour is organized within a newsroom, news beats are an important feature of journalistic research. However, within the extensive research that examines beat reporting and its specialties, there is little that examines how the media covers itself—or the media beat. This study explores the media beat in Australia, examining how media covered two major media change events: the loss of jobs at new…
Making Media
Bearing the Burden of Corporate Restructuring
This article reports on job loss among Canadian journalists between 2012 and 2016. Building on Australian research on the aftermath of job loss in journalism, this article examines the experiences of 197 journalists who were laid off or who took a buyout, voluntarily or not, due to corporate restructuring in Canadian media (both French and English). To date, no scholarly research in Canada has examined what happens to journalists after they are l…
Once a Journalist, Always a Journalist
The traditional model of journalism in western societies, dominated by legacy media outlets such as newspapers and television, has undergone fundamental change in the twenty-first century. One consequence has been significant job losses within these newsrooms. As journalists negotiate new employment post-job loss in Australia, this paper asks, how has this impacted on their professional identity? Drawing on varying conceptualisations of professio…
For the lifestyle and a love of creativity
A number of studies have examined why students choose to study journalism at university, but overall, this area is still relatively underexplored. Yet, understanding why students choose journalism, and what career expectations they hold, is important not only for educators but also for wider society and public debates about the future of journalism and the value of tertiary journalism education. This article examines the motivations of 1884 Austr…
Where do journalists go after newsroom job cuts
This article explores the aftermath of job loss in journalism in 2012, a year of dramatic press industry restructuring in Australia. It reports the findings of a pilot survey of 95 Australian redundant journalists, undertaken as part of the New Beats project, a five-year, university–industry investigation of what happens to journalists, and journalism, after job loss. Three related questions drive the analysis: Where do journalists go after job c…
Silent censor
This article explores the influence of family socialisation on journalistic practice in Ethiopia, a country in transition to democracy that suffers from a persistently authoritarian media system and weak journalistic professionalism. Drawing on Shoemaker and Reese’s pioneering model for assessing the hierarchy of influences on media content, it argues family socialisation is an important but neglected influence that predisposes Ethiopian journali…
Introduction
Listening, journalism and community voices – Nadyat El-Gawley in conversation with Penny O'Donnell
Nadyat El-Gawley works with local and national media to change the ways in which issues of race and ethnicity are reported, listened to, and understood in Australian society. She makes radio documentaries and features, often based on stories that people tell her about migration, life in the suburbs, racism and their encounters with the media. Here she describes the ways she works to get mainstream journalists to listen to people and communities t…
Listening, pathbuilding and continuations
This introductory paper posits ‘listening’ as a rubric for reframing contemporary media theory and practice. We propose moving beyond questions of voice, speaking and representation to focus on often-ignored questions of listening as the ‘other side’ of communication. This article sets out the ways in which it may be possible to address the neglected question of listening, not in isolation but rather, following Susan Bickford's notion of ‘pathbui…
Journalism, change and listening practices
This paper develops a theoretical account of listening as the ‘anchoring practice’ for change in all types of contemporary journalism. It contests the technological determinism implied in claims that citizen journalism will ‘naturally’ help us to listen. Instead, the paper makes the case for theorizing media as practice, attending to the practical and symbolic dimensions of the work needed to redistribute communicative power, and recognizing edit…
