Journalists and Media Accountability
Accounting for Journalism
Annual editorial reports are emerging as a prominent example of media accountability systems. This particular device is designed as a response to the increasing need for the justification and legitimation of journalism. Increasing transparency is often stated as a goal of these editorial reports. The critical question, then, is how such ambitions are realized. Do annual editorial reports promote a genuine public discourse about journalistic stand…
Reconstructing Accountability
An essential challenge for media studies, in a time when newspapers are in crisis and the practice of journalism is more contested than ever before, is to understand the problem of journalistic agency. In this chapter, Martin Eide provides a foundation for examining journalistic agency by charting major shifts in the political economy and professional framework of journalism. Eide argues for renewed attention to accountability journalism – a form…
The idea of the public sphere
Anker Brink Lund
Public/Private Service
This article discusses service journalism — the way the news media provide their audiences with information, advice and help about the problems of everyday life — in light of the theory of the public sphere and the growth of subpolitics fostered by reflexive modernization. Service journalism addresses two main types of everyday problem — grievances and risks — but it tends to subsume the former under the latter due to the effects of promotionalis…
Etterkrigsavisen og hjemmefronten
I denne artikel giver Martin Eide et signalement af journalistikken i den norske tabloidavis "Verdens Gang", populært kaldet VG. Fokus i artik- len er på VG ́s historiske udvikling og det, som ifølge forfatteren er ble- vet VG ́s varemærke: Servicejournalistik. VG ́s evne til at knytte jour- nalistikken i avisen til udviklingen i populærkulturen, forbrugerkulturen såvel som til konflikterne i velfærdsstaten fremhæves som centrale for- klaringer p…
Det journalistiske mistaket
The journalistic fallacyAn expansion of ”media logic” and media strategies in private and public sectors of society is the point of departure for this paper. The power of journalism is a force drawn upon by a wide range of social agents. The question is whether what appears as a victory of journalistic formats and frames of understanding simultaneously is a journalistic defeat. The paper identifies and discusses current aspects of journalistic pr…
A new kind of newspaper? Understanding a popularization process
A social history of a popularization process of major importance for a national press structure forms the basis of this article. Today's largest circulation newspaper in Norway is the case in point. Vardens Gang (now known under the acronym VG) grew out of the resistance movement during the Second World War, and set out with the ambition of being `a new kind of newspaper'. However, economic problems soon fuelled a popularization process, and grad…
Science journalism' without science journalists
This article discusses recent developments of the relationship between scientists and journalists in Norway, a country without a tradition of science journalism. A general professional upgrading among journalists is now accompanied by a growing interest in science coverage. Paradoxically, this coverage is already extensive, though as yet not of high quality. For a proper understanding of the traditions as well as new tendencies within science cov…
