Comparing News Beat Structures across 13 Countries: From Geographic to Topical and Sub-Specialised Division of Labour
Almost 200 years after their inception, news beats became a dominant factor that shapes newsrooms. This study explores the beat mix of leading quality dailies in 13 countries. Findings are based on executive interviews triangulated with other data sources. They indicate a shift from geographic to thematic division of labour and the rising trend of beat sub-specialisation. Newsroom size matters but not linearly: larger newsrooms are not larger acr…
Concurrently fading away and strengthening: A cross-country comparison of foreign and local news beats
One of the structuring logics behind the creation of news beats is the geographical one: that is, national, foreign and local news desks. Foreign and local beats, in particular, have a lot in common: the coverage of different geographical contexts increases the diversity and plurality of views; reporting from geographical peripheries is always the costliest in terms of production; the audience is more dispersed; and geographical news beats can cr…
Peripheral Science Journalism: Scientists and Journalists Dancing on the Same Floor
This study identifies the journalistic features of four Israeli science-news websites and suggests a conceptual framework for describing and analyzing different channels of science communication. Findings show how these websites, while employing scientists as reporters, adopt journalistic practices in producing, presenting, and disseminating science news on various topics. Based on these findings, it is suggested to add to the traditional dichoto…
Policy for the public without the public: Net neutrality in Israel
This study investigates the policy process through which net neutrality (NN) policy in Israel has been shaped. The analysis employs a framework based on the Internet Governance concept and the multi-stakeholder approach. Based on the analysis of formal documents, debates in parliamentary committees and the Parliament plenum, and position papers of various actors, the findings show that NN policy in Israel is one more layer of the neo-liberal poli…
Obsessive–Activist Journalists: A New Model of Journalism
This study exposes a unique model of journalism – “obsessive-activist” reporting. Motivated by a strong sense of justice and a passion to make a significant change, these journalists promote their social or political agenda in both spheres: the professional and the public. In the professional, they do it through an obsessive and continuing reporting on the issue they care for, while in the public sphere, they are personally involved in activities…
Patriotic journalism: An appeal to emotion and cognition
Patriotic behavior in the journalistic coverage of conflicts is usually related to the coverage of wars and terrorist attacks. Such behavior is characterized in the literature by various practices which deviate from the objective or neutral model of journalism and which are more closely related to the ‘our news’ or ‘our war’ mode of coverage. This study suggests an analytical framework that classifies the indicators of patriotic journalistic cove…
Patriotism on the internet: Journalists’ behavior and user comments
While a patriotic tendency in traditional journalism has been intensively investigated, there is much less evidence and fewer analyses of the phenomenon regarding online journalism. In this research, three main indicators of patriotic journalism are addressed: adopting governmental framing, expressing solidarity with the community, and ignoring the enemy’s narratives and positions. These indicators are investigated while analyzing online coverage…
Understanding Patriotic Journalism: Culture, Ideology and Professional Behavior
Patriotic journalism is a worldwide, cross-cultural, and well-documented phenomenon. It is most common in the coverage of military confrontations and terror attacks. However, most of the research literature on the issue is descriptive or normative, rather than analytical. This article suggests a framework aimed at facilitating a more systematic analysis. It consists of two main parts: variables related to the social environment in which journalis…
Public-Interest Institutionalism: A Positive Perspective on Regulation
Two ongoing debates in regulation research concentrate on public-interest versus private-interest theories, and actor-centered theories versus institutionalism. The first controversy is about the origins and goals of regulation, and the latter is about the analysis of regulatory processes. A theoretical framework that combines these four concepts is suggested. Four patterns of regulation are presented; each addresses a regulatory goal as well as …
Co-Regulation: From Lip-Service to a Genuine Collaboration — The Case of Regulating Broadcast Advertising in Israel
Is state/private co-regulation of industry better than either state regulation or private self-regulation alone? Clearly yes, answers Mr. Ginosar. Using the overall theoretical framework of the “New Governance,” Ginosar compares the regulation of broadcast advertising in Israel and Britain as both case studies and models, and creates a framework for analysis. Ginosar argues that the shift from hierarchical control to pluralistic control is a more…
Media Governance: A Conceptual Framework or Merely a Buzz Word
Most classifications of media systems are normative, reflect the liberal Western point of view regarding the roles of the media in society and in democracy, and are based on historical–geopolitical perspectives. This article suggests the concept of governance as an alternative theoretical path for classifying media systems. Frequently, media governance is used in an ambiguous way in media literature: often as an equivalent term to media policy an…
The Regulation of Advertising
This unique Handbook offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive, state-of-the-art reviews of the politics of regulation. It presents and discusses the core theories and concepts of regulation in response to the rise of the regulatory state and regulatory capitalism, and in the context of the ‘golden age of regulation’. Its eleven sections include forty-eight chapters covering issues as diverse and varied as: theories of regulation; historical p…
Regulating Product Placement in the European Union and Canada: Explaining Regime Change and Diversity
Product placement, the purposeful incorporation of commercial content into non-commercial settings, is a controversial form of advertisement. This paper compares the policy processes and diverging regimes for product placement in the European Union and Canada. While the new EU regime is restrictive, the Canadian regime is much more open to the purposeful incorporation of commercial content via product placement. We find that actor-centered approa…
