“Part of the gig
This article seeks to complicate notions of metajournalistic discourse by building on research on journalistic evidence and news narratives to argue for concepts of both manifest and latent forms of discourse. Through a textual analysis of news narratives, article thrust, and style in UK and French digital news coverage of Naomi Osaka’s decision to withdraw from press conferences at the cusp of the 2021 French Open, we argue that journalists inte…
Cultures of Digital Architectures
This essay complicates interpretations of digital architectures in online journalism production in terms of journalistic interlopers and intralopers during an age of increased influence of technologists on online news development. While much normative scholarship revolves around social media, metrics, algorithms, artificial intelligence, VR, and other forms of digital innovation applied to journalism, the essay argues that such work must not focu…
Seeing the (in)justice of sustainability
This Special Issue focuses on issues of sustainability and its (potential) effect(s) on widening inequalities. It does so through discussions on visual and digital communication, including documentary filmmaking, photojournalism, cartography and citizen multimedia journalism, with a broad geographic span. The issue is comprised of two sets of scholarly approaches. The first set includes perhaps more conventionally arranged articles that align wit…
Covering Synergistic Effects of Climate Change
This writing positions the accompanying volume within a realm of complications of climate change journalism that operates amid recognized pressures of journalistic practice through notions of political economy, the social and cultural influences shaping news explanations, and critical interpretations of the current global crisis of a warming planet. Specifically, this volume is interested in how journalism may function among “synergistic effects”…
Good morning, Covid!” the inertia of journalistic imaginaries in morning shows’ online comments
This textual analysis examines meanings of user comments to Facebook posts of three UK breakfast programs as COVID-19 entered England in 2020. This analysis suggests that during this time of crisis and uncertainty, users’ – even if trolling, interacting through incidental media use, or commenting as regular contributors to the pages – relied on traditional and lasting interpretations of conventional journalistic standards in their discourse surro…
Critical Theory and Being Critical
This editorial responds to a professionalization and constrained notion of “critical theory” to argue for an academic and humanist-centered approach to developing debates and discussions around the future of critical theory and “being critical.”
The Digital City
Placeification
News websites, apps, and immersive environments have increasingly become places that extend one beyond her physical geography. Digital Journalism Studies requires ways to consider how journalism both shapes and is shaped by the places in which it is produced, practiced, and consumed. Current understandings of place in the news set a foundation for such understanding, though this work usually expresses meanings after a geography is demarcated and …
Who is Credible (and Where)? Using Virtual Reality to Examine Credibility and Bias of Perceived Race/Ethnicity in Urban/Suburban Environments
This study evaluates perceptions of race/ethnicity in connection to geography of urban/suburban neighborhoods. The study takes place in a region mostly populated by people identifying as Hispanic, which is reflected in the participant demographics. Before answering the survey questions, the study used Virtual Reality to immerse participants into the scene, and to develop a more realistic experience. Results indicated that perceptions of geography…
Going Offline
Based on interviews with 25 investigative journalists in Beijing, China, this study suggests digital journalists may be increasingly challenged by a sense of “information overload” as they navigate social media and online environments crowded with dis- and mis-information, fake profiles and sources, and massive amounts of opinion journalism that is presented as professional journalism. This overload has reinforced Chinese investigative journalist…
DiminishingDiscrimination
This critical textual analysis examines the symbolic annihilation of race and racisms by the use of hashtags, such as #BBQBecky and #CornerstoreCaroline, in news coverage of White people in the United States who called or threatened to call 911 to report everyday behavior of Black individuals in 2018. This study argues that the use of humorous and virtual hashtags to represent the callers contributed to overall coverage of racially charged incide…
Journalism Research in Practice
Thirty-five years ago, Lesley Stahl, who was then a CBS Evening News correspondent, reported critically on the television photo ops used in Ronald Reagan’s presidential re-election campaign. In her

Epilogue
To say Kayleigh McEnany is a rising star would be putting it mildly. In fact, by the time this book is published, she may very well be a household name, like that of Kellyanne Conway, and at select few dinner tables, Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci. Though in Scaramucci’s case, his name recognition was short-lived, having been fired as Communications Director by Trump after 10 days at his post after threatening to fire “everyone” under his command…
Power, place, and the spatial dialectic of digital journalism
Chapter 6 shifts to a critical examination of news media and its relationship to social surveillance and control in the spaces and places they serve. We highlight political developments using technology to control, but also focus on the cultural dimensions of shaming and boundary work to shape acceptable behavior and expectations within places. In so doing, this chapter further aligns geographies of journalism with the social justice and critical…
Conclusion
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents a conversation of journalism studies about geography as it stands in both traditional and new ways of making news. The imagination is a powerful influence on our social policies, personal interactions, and the practice of journalism, so much so that the daily process of place-making in our own lives and in the most bana…
Who is where?
Chapter 5 sees us extend our thinking around other important concepts such as proximity and distance in the context of place-making given their integral relationship to news values and journalism. We contend that existing scholarship on news proximity tends to bypass one of the most important dimensions of them all – proximity to power (both physical and imagined) in changing physical and digital contexts. Here, we pay particular attention to wha…
The trichotomy of place, space, and territory in digital journalism studies
Chapter 2 highlights the power of territory as a vital yet often overlooked component of the space and place literature in relation to journalism. The trichotomy of place, space, and territory prompts a recalibration between the need for speed and mobility and the careful construction of space and place over time. Through this discussion, the relationship between news media and Facebook and the contestation for political, moral, and social influe…
Demarcating news space(s) in digital news
In Chapter 4, we outline the demarcation of space and news zones. This may seem like we are covering old ground, but the ways spaces and places are constructed have received little attention in journalism studies and so it is important that we build this foundation here. In this chapter, we argue more work is needed to understand the way that journalists demarcate the physical boundaries in which they generate news before territories evolve and b…
News Boundaries of “Fakiness” and the Challenged Authority of the Press
It was summer after whirlwind of Donald Trump&s;s initial months as president. He and his surrogates–rejecting everything related to his predecessor–had come out swinging. They picked fights with reporters, with allies, with Democrats and Republicans. Samar Ali orbit includes liberal-leaning friends, Republicans, immigrants and native born, world travelers and homebodies, city dwellers and rural residents, black and white, Latino and Arab–all of …
Mapping the geographies of journalism
Chapter 1 provides the overview of geography studies in Western contexts over the past several decades. This return to the roots of geographic underpinnings provides a much-needed foundational landscape upon which to build this and other projects that use terms such as “space” and “place” interchangeably or lack a historical context in how geography can be viewed from physical, social, cultural, economic, digital, and media perspectives. These ap…
Symbolic and imaginative
In Chapter 3, we explore the symbolic and “imaginative power of place.” Here, we adopt and merge theories of social space and cultural meaning to equip the professional journalist (and scholars) with the reflexive tools to understand the power of and the power inherent within place-making. We draw on Bourdieu’s notion of symbolic power – the power to construct reality – as a precondition for imaginative power – that is the power to imagine or con…
Contesting Communities
This introductory article to the combined special issue of journalism studies and journalism practice provides an overview of some of the key contemporary approaches to studying journalism and social order. It argues the need to step beyond a functionalist framework when considering the news media’s central role in shaping social connections, community and cohesion. To advance our understandings of social order, our paper suggests a greater empha…
Geographies of Journalism
The digital animation of literary journalism
Since The New York Times published Snow Fall in 2012, media organizations have produced a growing body of similar work characterized by the purposeful integration of multimedia into long-form journalism. In this article, we argue that just as the literary journalists of the 1960s attempted to write the nonfiction equivalent of the great American novel, journalists of the 2010s are using digital tools to animate literary journalism techniques. To …
Boosterism as Banishment
This paper performs a qualitative critical discourse analysis of 52 local news articles from four Florida (United States) newspapers to identify and expand the notion of journalistic boosterism. In the paper, I argue that boosterism—everyday news that promotes mediatized notions of a community's dominant traditions, dominant identities, and potential for future prosperities—functions as a form of social control by performing, as banishment, an ac…

Journalism and the “Social Sphere
This article realigns the field of journalism studies to acknowledge within itself the multiple dimensions of social life and, as well, to provide greater clarity on the social and cultural forms and functions of journalism. It reclaims the importance of the “social sphere” as a key foundational concept for journalism studies with its links to collective identity, sociability, social honour, and soft coercion. We argue the relevance of the social…
Drawing Lines in the Journalistic Sand
In mid-December 2010, The Daily Show host Jon Stewart asked Congress to address the health care needs of 9/11 rescue workers—which it did. Shortly after, the New York Times published an analysis piece comparing Stewart to the legendary broadcaster Edward R. Murrow. This article explores how collective memory of Murrow was used by both mainstream media and the blogosphere to negotiate membership boundaries of journalism itself, with analysis condu…
There's No Place Like Home
This narrative analysis explores the juxtaposition of local crime news in Omaha, Nebraska with coverage of local troops embedded in Afghanistan in April 2011. It argues that narrative devices such as scene-setting, characterization, sourcing, and the use of dramatic elements constructed violence abroad as heroic and expected, but disruptive and dangerous at home; these contrasts worked to sustain a dominant ideology of institutional superiority

When Local is National
This study explicates meanings of local journalism when what was traditionally treated as a local issue for local audiences—Miami’s rising seas—was thrust onto a national stage by national press and for wider audiences. Through a textual analysis of local news stories over a period of three years, this paper highlights how local journalists demarcated local and national journalistic boundaries, using national news to legitimize previous local cov…

Through focus groups with four self-described "independent" college student newspapers, this study provides a new perspective on how to view student media independence. Choices student journalists make concerning sourcing, funding, location and guidance may contribute to the newspaper's level of independence more than how much an institution attempts to control the student media. Expressed invitations by student journalists to non-students and fa…
Behold the monster
In October 2006, Charles Carl Roberts IV walked into a one-room Amish schoolhouse in West Nickel Mines, PA, USA, brandished a handgun, and killed five female students who were all under the age of 13. Through an analysis of 215 news articles published in 10 local, regional, and national newspapers in 2006 and 2007, this article examines news characterizations of Roberts that cast him as a ‘Monster’. We explore interdisciplinary notions of pure ev…
Zombies, Drugs, and Florida Weirdness
On a steamy May 26, 2012 in Miami, Florida, police officers found Rudy Eugene viciously eating another man's face. Police shot Eugene at least four times, killing him, to stop the attack. Over the next month, the story of the “Causeway Cannibal” (a.k.a. the “Miami Zombie”) fueled debate about what spawned the attack. News explanations included synthetic drugs, cannibalism, Voodoo, and zombies. This textual analysis of immediate news explanations …

Nobody Really Wants to be Called Bossy or Domineering”

This article turns to Miami, Florida’s (USA) Upper Eastside – an eclectic stretch of about 20 city blocks in one of the nation’s ‘global cities’ – for a critical visual analysis that uses mapping and photography to explore how neoliberalism is communicated. With an approach that considers geography as a visual ‘vernacular landscape’, this research further supports the role of visual communication as a means to reveal deeper meanings of geography,…
Reciprocal (and Reductionist?) Newswork
This paper builds upon previous research that examines participatory forms of “reciprocal journalism” and “public communication” led by high school and college students in Miami, Florida, USA, in the fall of 2014. In this study, the students’ assessment of local and national media coverage is used to reveal greater details inherent in examining participatory methods of newswork. Collectively, students said that media coverage emphasis on local an…

Now We Can Talk”
This paper explores debate within Puerto Rico's journalistic community regarding the journalistic role of La Comay, a full-sized puppet host of the popular information and entertainment show SuperXclusivo, which faced a boycott in late 2012 and cancelation in early 2013. Calls to boycott and shutter the daily TV show came from the island's LGBT advocates because of comments made by La Comay that they considered homophobic. This analysis of 58 tex…
