Opting out of analytics
Presenting audiences and journalistic work in quantitative terms has become an established practice in news organisations. The use of audience-generated data as a measurement for journalistic performance is not without problems as questions arise about the extent to which datafied logics generate accurate representations of qualitative, complex, and pluriform journalistic work. In this article, we examine how journalists in a public service media…
Saako sosiaalisen median logiikka sanella uutismedian toimintaa? Hyödyntää voi, mutta taipua ei kannata
Uutismedia jakaa portinvartijuuden valtaa sosiaalisen median alustojen ja yleisöjen kanssa eikä näin ollen ole enää yksinomainen portinvartija nykyisessä mediaympäristössä. Koska uutismedia on menettänyt yliotteen mediaympäristön herruudesta, se joutuu arvioimaan ja kehittämään omia juttuformaattejaan ja erilaisia kanavia olla läsnä ja tavoittaa eri ikäisiä yleisöjä. Tämän vuoksi uutismedia pohjaa omaa toimintaansa sosiaalisen median logiikkaan. …
Kymmenen teesiä dataistuneesta mediasta
Tässä puheenvuoroartikkelissa ryhmä tutkijoita tarkastelee median dataistumista kymmenen teesin kautta. Teesit perustuvat neljään eri tutkimushankkeeseen. Data ja algoritmit ovat vakiintuneet osaksi mediasisältöjen tuotantoa, johtamista ja yleisösuhteita. Tämä herättää kuitenkin myös epäilyä, jännitteitä ja kysymyksiä vallasta. Kirjoittajat esittävät, että dataa hyödynnetään mediassa usein taloudellisen tehokkuuden näkökulmasta. Samalla ihmiset –…
“It’s a Balancing Act”
Over the last five years, the Finnish sports media has played a key role in disseminating information and stimulating debate on gender equity, sexual harassment, and the structures and culture that perpetuate the latter in sport. Triggered by the Me Too movement, the handling of harassment cases has shifted from the private domain to the public debate in the media, making it political. In this article, I study the perception of the politicisation…
Confusing Content, Platforms, and Data
News media trust, and the lack thereof, has been a prominent topic of discussion among journalism scholars in recent years. In this article, we study young adults’ trust in news media from the perspectives of platformisation and datafication. For the empirical study, we collected interview data from 23 Finnish 19–25-year-old young adults and analysed it inductively with applied thematic analysis. Our analysis reveals that trust negotiation is rel…
Post-Publication Gatekeeping Factors and Practices
The gatekeeping literature has turned to look at the factors and practices that shape gatekeeping in the post-publication environment, i.e., after news has entered circulation. This article adds to the discussion and argues that news workers share gatekeeping power in the post-publication environment with audiences, platforms, and regulations. Further, this study extends the post-publication gatekeeping framework and considers it in the context o…
Digitaalinen media yksilöllistää ja yhdistää vapaa-ajan liikkujia
Tutkimukseni sai alkunsa yksittisest tekstist, joka osui silmiini kymmenen vuotta sitten ollessani liikunnan perustutkinto-opiskelija. Teksti on mediatutkija Joshua Meyrowitzin
Mediatization and Self-Organized Leisure Sports
Participation in leisure sports is undergoing a transformation that is guided by societal and cultural changes as well as recent developments in, and the use of, digital sports media and technologies. This paper discusses how changes in leisure sports participation can be understood using mediatization as a theoretical framework. This theoretically informed analysis of change is contextualized within Finnish climbing and trail running subcultures…
Tracking oneself for others
Self-tracking is increasingly popular in recreational sport. Leisure sports practitioners use wearable devices that are connected to online platforms to record, analyse, and share their exercise data. While doing that they interact with a digital system, with themselves, and with peers. This paper examines social-communicative aspects of self-tracking, and the support that these aspects and their associated practices may provide for physical acti…
‘I shared the joy’
The popularity of sharing photographs on digital platforms has increased significantly due to the communicative affordances of mobile media and the emergence of photo-sharing applications, such as Instagram. In this paper, we examine how social support and communality can be built and reinforced through digital visual communication. We focus especially on photo sharing in the context of recreational climbing and trail running. In a qualitative st…
