Drawing on cultural trauma theory, the study investigates audience responses to mediated distant suffering from three user profiles of different nationalities and locations, to analyse their cosmopolitan disposition. Through 29 interviews, we explored how users actively participated in short and long-term actions to mitigate the…
Breaching BBC impartiality rules: Journalism identity, institutional networks and social media
Since implementing its latest impartiality guidelines in October 2021, the BBC has rebuked several of its news presenters for related violations. BBC journalists are required to adhere to these norms, so why are some expressing defiance? In light of the BBC’s vast global reach and reputation for journalistic impartiality, this article uses social network and discourse analysis to explore how contemporary journalism is challenging the norm of impa…
"Fundamentos y carencias de los estudios culturales una revisión teórico-crítica del ámbito "popular culture
El presente estudio revisa los presupuestos teóricos de los estudios culturales y el área de la cultura popular en Gran Bretaña a partir de 1950. Esta esfera de lo popular fue definida por la sociedad de masas mediado el siglo xx, y por quienes como Theodor W. Adorno y Max Horkheimer teorizaron sobre la cultura que le es propia. Los artistas modernos y sus críticos abrieron entonces una brecha insalvable entre el arte y los objetos comerciales de…
News Media Innovation Reconsidered: Ethics and Values in a Creative Reconstruction of Journalism
News media are suffering a Schumpeterian "creative destruction" (Schumpeter, 1949): this has been the received wisdom among scholars and media watchers evaluating the impact of digital technology on journalism today. However, is "creative destruction" an appropriate term in this case? The use of it to explain this recent period of upheaval in journalism usually involves reductive techno-economic paradigms that overlook critical cultural and ethic…

Journalism, solidarity and the civil sphere: The case of Charlie Hebdo
On 7 January 2015, Said and Chérif Kouachi assaulted the offices of the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo , leaving 12 people dead. The terrorist attack soon became a highly symbolic event, reflecting the core struggle between free speech and religious values that escalated after the ‘cartoon crisis’ in 2005. In this article, we wish to explore media discourses in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attack in three European countries – Spain, …
When one is not enough. Professional Perception of Traditional Ethical Mechanisms for New Times in Journalism
The aim of this article is to analyse the perception of Spanish journalists in relation to the greater or lesser effectiveness of traditional self regulation mechanisms in comparison to new mechanisms that have recently emerged with the arrival of digital technologies. Results from surveys (n=420), in-depth interviews (n=30) and focus groups (n=6) confirm the acceptance of these mechanisms whose greatest impact requires the operation of all of th…
Gender violence: The media, civil society, and the struggle for human rights in Argentina
Research on civil society, social movements, and civil rights protests through the media in Latin America – and, in general, in new democracies beyond the West – has shown the way in which populism deepens polarization, making civil society and its media outlets an arena of ideological divides and opposing interests. By bringing Jeffrey Alexander’s civil sphere theory to the analysis of #NotOneLess movement in Argentina, this study examines the p…

The Crisis of Journalism Reconsidered: Democratic Culture, Professional Codes, Digital Future
This collection of original essays brings a dramatically different perspective to bear on the contemporary 'crisis of journalism'. Rather than seeing technological and economic change as the primary causes of current anxieties, The Crisis of Journalism Reconsidered draws attention to the role played by the cultural commitments of journalism itself. Linking these professional ethics to the democratic aspirations of the broader societies in which j…

"The TimesPicayune" y los discursos noticiosos sobre el colapso del periodismo norteamericano
This article analyses the ways in which the crisis of American journalism is constructed in the journalistic discourses on the digital revolution and the economic collapse of newspaper through the particular case of The TimesPicayune. Journalists assume a set of cultural codes which locates the facts within symbolical boundaries of what is professionally understood as good journalism or, on the contrary, outside these boundaries. These cultural a…

The literature review in the first section briefly brings the cultural dimension to the forefront of current anxieties in the journalistic profession—anxieties that have been discussed mainly f…
Filosofía de la Cultura Popular: Una lectura de la teoría crítica desde la perspectiva de Hannah Arendt
El ámbito de la cultura popular ha privilegiado una visión técnica de sus objetos en el sentido que Aristóteles\ndio al término téchne. Este enfoque ha prevalecido hasta hoy en la forma de un determinismo económico y\ntecnológico que enfatiza la estructura social frente a la acción cultural. Se trata de un presupuesto\nracionalista que comparten las teorías sociológicas y culturales dominantes en el área: la teoría crítica, los\nanálisis de econo…

Narrating Civil Society: A New Theoretical Perspective on Journalistic Autonomy
To what extent is journalism autonomous from spheres of power in society? In journalism studies, it is widely accepted that political, economic, and professional interests constrain journalists and frustrate independent reporting. Drawing upon previous research on media independence, this article proposes a set of analytical categories to enrich and strengthen the theoretical argument for journalistic autonomy. The proposed categories are in line…
