Performing investigative identities: How print journalists establish authority through their texts
Faced with an increasingly challenging environment, journalists and news organizations are looking to investigative journalism as a symbolic resource to assert their professionalism. However, while the literature recognizes a strong link between authority and professionalism on the one hand, and investigative journalism and professionalism on the other, it has overlooked how investigative journalism itself can be used to establish authority. This…
Identifying Investigative Pieces: A Multi-Step Method for Spotting a Blurred Journalistic Genre
This article aims to contribute to a better understanding of investigative journalism by proposing a multi-step method for identifying investigative pieces, despite the genre’s blurred definition. This method uses internal criteria observable in the texts themselves, regardless of their author, awards received, label, or discourses about them. Based on a literature review, an exploratory analysis and practical testing, we claim that examining art…
Stay Strong, Get Perspective, or Give Up: Role Negotiation in Small-Scale Investigative Journalism
This article examines how investigative journalists, especially those working in newsroom contexts, deal with discrepancies between ideals and practice by actively negotiating their roles. Based on interviews with 28 Swiss journalists, it argues that despite having a strongly shared ideology revolving around the democratic roles of journalism, investigative reporters negotiate their investigative commitment on a daily basis. The study provides a …
To Me, It's Normal Journalism” Professional Perceptions of Investigative Journalism and Evaluations of Personal Commitment
This paper examines how professionals define investigative journalism, which criteria they use to assess their and others’ work, and how they apply them. Based on 23 in-depth interviews with Swiss journalists, our research sheds new light on professionals’ normative assumptions, and provides insights on how to think about investigative journalism more generally. Implicit and explicit professional definitions reveal a shared conception of journali…

In this article, we present a description of the journalists in Switzerland, based on a nation-wide survey conducted in 2015. This data gives a quantitative description of journalists in Switzerland. Furthermore, this article makes comparison between various groups of journalists, for example between the different language regions in Switzerland, in order…
Quelle Différence: Language, culture and nationality as influences on francophone journalists’ identity
Canada, Belgium and Switzerland are multicultural countries with several similarities including having French as a minority language. The trio also shares similar media landscapes, systems and approaches to journalism to those of other Western European and Northern American countries. These commonalities offer an opportunity to probe for the possibility of a language-based differentiation in journalists’ professional identities. Our comparative a…
Studying celebrity news
Celebrity news and the dark planet of contemporary journalismThere was a time when news coverage of celebrities was mostly confined to tabloids, distinctive magazines and special sections of newspapers.Today, celebrity news is an endemic phenomenon; it has found its place across the entire media spectrum where it proved its capacity to attract a wide range of publics and to drive consumption (Turner, 2010).Celebrity coverage has become omnipresen…

Animals in the media: New boundaries of risk
The role of media in the construction of social representations of risks still deserves further analysis, especially in situations where new or unexpected risks are being reported. Risks associated with animals have more often become a source of concern in terms of potential harm for human health; media reports have participated in developing new fears and ambivalence. These risks associated with animals reflect transformations of the human relat…
Desirable people: Identifying social values through celebrity news
In this article, we define the notion of ‘celebrity news’, emphasizing the fact that the portrayal of film stars embodies the imitable and the inimitable and, consequently, points towards values. In that context, we discuss the results of a thematic content analysis of a wide corpus of the daily and weekly European, French-speaking printed media to reveal which values are highlighted in celebrity news; we also compare these results with the conte…
Genuine Zoocentrism or Dogged Anthropocentrism? On the Personification of Animal Figures in the News
Human-Animal relationships are changing and the media coverage of animal issues plays a major part in these transformations. The personification of animals is a socially-constructed process through which the status of a person is attributed to an animal. In this article, we analyze this process in the media, through successive analytical steps. Identifying the attributes of animal personification enables us to distinguish three increasingly compl…
