News as Bridge or Barrier? The Role of News Consumption in Immigrants’ Sense of Belonging
This study examines how immigrants’ news consumption relates to their sense of belonging in the receiving society. We conceptualize news consumption along three dimensions (frequency, sources, and trust) and analyze associations with belonging, controlling for age, gender, education, length of stay, language proficiency, migration pathway, and friendships. Drawing on an eight-language survey of 633 immigrants in the Netherlands, results show that…

Conceptualizing the development of professional journalism
In a constantly shifting context, where journalism is changing in response to evolving dynamics from politicians, the public, and big tech, it is crucial to understand the concepts that characterize the journalism profession. By understanding what journalism is and is not, and who is, or is not a journalist, journalists can reevaluate their added value in a changing society. This paper aims to identify key pressures that have been reshaping the j…
Navigating news across borders
As European countries experience growing immigration, the need for policies supporting immigrants’ cultural adaptation has intensified. Journalism plays a crucial role in this process, traditionally fostering a shared understanding among citizens and offering a common reference point to understand societal issues. However, little research addresses how immigrants navigate today’s digital news landscape, where the boundaries between countries are …
Google as Journalists’ Invisible Research Assistant? The Impact of Algorithmically-Driven Search Results in Journalistic Information Gathering Routines
Search engines play an important role in the information-gathering process of journalists. This paper analyzes the possible influence Google has on journalists when consulting, selecting, and evaluating sources through this search engine. We conducted a rare experiment on site with 73 journalists working within newsrooms in the Netherlands. We, firstly, find that all participating journalists use Google and mainly remain on the first page of resu…
A Discourse Community of Livebloggers? Routines, Conventions, and the Pursuit of Credibility in Dutch Liveblogs
Liveblogs are very popular with the public and journalists alike. The problem, though, is their credibility, given the uncertainty of the covered events and the immediacy of their production. Little is known about how journalists routinize the unexpected—to paraphrase Tuchman—when journalists report about an event that is still unfolding. This paper is about makers of liveblogs, livebloggers, so to speak, and the routines and conventions they fol…
Understanding the Complexity of News Avoidance
In this high-choice media landscape, we witness people avoiding news to substantial degrees. This avoidance behavior raises critical questions about its implications for informed citizenship and the normative role of news media. The research on news avoidance surged in the past five years. However, we know little about the interplay between by whom, why and how the news is avoided, and how that determines the implications. Therefore, we seek a fr…
Uncovering the audience perspective
There has been limited adoption of Immersive Journalism (IJ) by the audience; simultaneously, the audience’s perspective is rarely considered in the production and research of IJ. At this point, however, it is crucial to incorporate an audience perspective to identify potentially unintended effects of IJ and improve on the innovation of IJ. This study investigates the audience’s experience and evaluation of IJ by qualitatively analyzing their tho…
Performing Discourse in Pursuit of Credibility
Live blogs are a popular format for covering crises, breaking news, politics, or sports events. Despite their popularity among journalists and the public, the format has also been subject to scholarly debate regarding the conflict between immediacy versus credibility, resulting in a high degree of uncertainty for producers and consumers. Journalists cope with this paradox by performing discourse: imposing valid and persuasive representations of t…
Educating for a Changing Media Landscape
Over the past decades, journalism schools and journalism training programmes have been trying to keep up with the constant technological and societal developments. Numerous studies have been done about what knowledge and skills should be taught and several on how they should be taught, to be more adaptive to this changing environment and media landscape. Meanwhile, also media companies are increasingly becoming educators, with their own learning …
Who Are They? Different Types of News Avoiders Based on Motives, Values and Personality Traits
The number of people that intentionally avoid the news is growing. This could have several personal and societal implications. Previous research exposed various motives to avoid news, which lead to different manifestations of news avoidance, and consequently different implications. However, so far less is known about the differences in news avoidance types. In this study, we aim to explore different profiles of news avoiders beyond demographics, …
How youth define, consume, and evaluate news
This article offers an overview of 94 scientific studies (published between 2006 and 2022) to examine how young people (ages 10–36) define, consume, and evaluate news. Research on news and youth has exploded over the past decades, but what can we conclude from it, and how should journalism scholars move forward? The systematic literature review reveals that while young people remain interested in news, how they consume it has changed drastically.…
Feeling the News? The Differential Effects of Immersive Journalism on Emotional Response
Immersive journalism (IJ) is often assumed to be inherently emotion-inducing. Through using inclusive technology, interaction possibilities and immersive narratives, the audience should ideally experience what feels like to be in a certain situation. However, for the most part we do not know to which extent and in what form IJ influences the experience of emotions. We wanted to investigate, whether, and if so, which characteristics of IJ are rela…
Invisible Friend or Foe?How Journalists Use and Perceive Algorithmic-Driven Tools in Their Research Process
The use of algorithmic tools by journalists for information-gathering has received particular attention in recent years. While it might facilitate the research process, there are also concerns about their impact on journalism. Based on reconstruction interviews with 27 journalists, we first answer the primary question to what extent journalists actually use algorithmic-driven tools for research purposes. Then, we analyze which folk theories journ…
News Avoidance during the Covid-19 Crisis
This study investigates the degree of news avoidance during the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic in the Netherlands. Based on two panel surveys conducted in the period April–June 2020, this study shows that the increased presence of this behavior, can be explained by negative emotions and feelings the news causes by citizens. Moreover, news avoidance indeed has a positive effect on perceived well-being. These findings point to an acting bala…
From “Cool Observer” to “Emotional Participant”
Over the past years, innovative technologies (such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR)) have become more common within news organizations. These technologies allow users to immerse themselves in a virtual world. With these types of productions, the journalist tries to engage and involve the user by introducing emotional styles, often to create empathy. This does not only demand new technological skills, but also…
Introduction to the Special Issue
This introduction to the special issue makes the argument that, in order to understand journalistic production and consumption in an increasingly complex digital world, journalism studies must employ research designs that combine methods from different academic perspectives and disciplines. In particular, we propose increased collaboration with scholars working in information technology, the arts, psychology, and data science
A first-person promise? A content-analysis of immersive journalistic productions
Major news outlets increasingly use immersive techniques in their journalistic productions. The idea is that, through the application of immersive technologies, the news consumer can engage with and be part of the story. However, we do not know, to what extent this promise is actually fulfilled in productions currently accessible to news audiences. This study uses a multi-step approach to fill this knowledge gap. First, based on an interdisciplin…
When Does an Infographic Say More Than a Thousand Words
In recent years, the use of visualizations or infographics in the news has become increasingly popular. We know, however, surprisingly little about how news consumers use and appreciate news visualizations. We apply a mixed-method approach to answer these two questions. First, we conduct an eye-tracking study that measures use, by means of direct attention to visualizations on three different news platforms (print newspaper, e-newspaper on tablet…
Accountability in the newsroom
From trust to accountability
Over the past decade media and journalistic performance in many liberal democracies has come under criticism, increasingly leading to a waning trust among politicians and the public. Based on a triangulation of methods this article attempts to obtain a better understanding of the themes and underlying discourse in this critique and how media and journalists responded to the subsequent pressures on their performance in terms of accountability and …
Taking the public seriously
Until recently, media and journalists have worked in a supply market, ideally providing the public with the kind of information the former thought the latter needed to participate as full citizens in a democracy. The shift to a demand market means that, increasingly, the media are providing what the public wants: what is in the public interest seems to be less important than what the public is interested in. Such a more marketdriven approach sits…
