Hollow professionalism
This paper examines how journalistic professionalism in Slovenia is continually renegotiated through the interplay of normative ideals, ideological imperatives and material constraints. By tracing how normative commitments rooted in the principle of publicity interact with ideological imperatives and material constraints, professionalism in Slovenian news journalism is shown to be relational and constantly reconfigured. These forces converge uniq…
Histories of Digital Journalism
In this chapter, I propose a genealogy of the tensions between the figures of the professional and the worker in the history of journalistic labor in Canada. By examining the case of the newspaper Le Devoir in Quebec (Canada), I first look back at the historical tensions between the typographers’ pressroom and the journalists’ newsroom. In the mid-20th century, a porous line separated manual workers from journalists with relative autonomy in news…
Novinarska Svoboda Skozi Optiko Novinarjev
Članek, ki izhaja iz kompleksnega konceptualnega razmerja med novinarsko svobodo, avtonomijo in neodvisnostjo, temelji na empirični analizi anketnih podatkov, zbranih med prvo izvedbo mednarodne raziskave Svetovi novinarstva na vzorcu slovenskih novinarjev. Avtorji novinarstvo razumejo kot verovanjski sistem, v katerem novinarsko svobodo ključno sooblikujejo percepcija neodvisnosti in pogoji avtonomije. Študija se osredinja na percepcijo vplivov …
News Sources in the Sociology of the Media
Sourcing practices are among the central research topics within the sociology of the media. Empirical studies have analysed what and who are the major journalistic sources, demonstrating that the selections journalists make not only depend on their subjective choices, but are connected to the norms and routines established in the profession. While invaluable, these studies are primarily media-centric and focused on small-scale investigations, mea…
It’s Not as Neat Television Like Before The Epidemic”
The study explores the (re)negotiated visuality of television journalism during the first wave of the epidemic in Slovenia and on this basis examines the visibility of the COVID-19 crisis. Institutionalised procedures and relations of production together with the conventional visual-aural news form are analysed by assessing journalism’s (cl)aims of bringing relevant events and disputes to public attention, uncovering hidden social realities, and …
Remembering Tanjug
Historically, the role of journalism in society is bound to the prevailing conceptualization of the freedom of the press, specific societal, institutional, and material conditions of news production. This study explores self-perceptions of journalists working in the period of socialist Yugoslavia and synthetizes their recollections of journalistic orientations and performances with respect to journalism’s place in society. The study is based on t…
Koalicije preživetja v obdobju zatona časopisne industrije
S kombinacijo sociološkega in političnoekonomskega pristopa v proučevanju novinarstva kot dela študija analizira učinke zatona časopisne industrije na razredne boje v panogi. Na podlagi teoretsko-zgodovinske konceptualizacije tehnične sestave novičarskega dela ter s pomočjo poglobljenih intervjujev in analize dokumentov študija primera družbe Dnevnik d.d razkriva proletarizacijo novinarjev in drugi novičarskih delavcev. Zgodovinske ločnice tehnič…
Interrogating the Inverse
The public broadcaster RTV Slovenia strategically relied on non-standard employment for its permanent workers until the courts ruled that this was unlawful about a decade ago. The ensuing process of standardising employment has led to the regular employment of about 500 “permanently outsourced workers” under various arrangements. To interrogate the inverse, the study tests the Streeckian “beneficial constraints hypothesis”, whereby a reduction of…
Window, Watchdog, Inspector
With the aim of understanding solidities and disturbances in journalism as a belief system, the study investigates how television journalists in Slovenia have been re-articulating their roles against normative principles, professional ideals, and media performance during the COVID-19 lockdown. As procedures and forms of television news production were importantly re-configured, analysis of qualitative interviews with editors and journalists revea…
Human Still in the Loop
The study investigates how automation novelties in the newsroom both challenge and maintain the core values of journalism’s professional ideology. Building on semi-structured interviews with editors of legacy news institutions in the United Kingdom and Germany, the study reveals the rationales behind the changing journalism–technology relationship and the dynamics of the re-articulation of the core ideals of journalism. In discussing automation w…
Our task is to demystify fears
The study explores uses of algorithmic techniques in journalists’ working environments and investigates newsroom managers’ negotiations of automation as innovation process aimed at ensuring partial or full replacement of human labour with technology. Drawing from 15 qualitative interviews with representatives of newsroom management from legacy news institutions in the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States, the study analyses their (cl)aim…
Engineering Technologies for Journalism In the Digital Age
Although technological innovations in journalism have recently received growing scholarly attention, studies have hardly questioned or explored the naturalised dominance of technology over newswork. By drawing on critical scholarship, the study aims to explore how articulations between technology and journalism are negotiated by actors engineering technological innovations for and implementing them as part of newswork. Adopting the qualitative me…
The Tyranny of the Empty Frame
This study explores the notion of the "tyranny of the empty frame" within the online departments of the two leading Slovenian newspapers, Delo and Dnevnik, where online journalists—newsworkers with little or no training or experience in photojournalism—are required to provide each news item with at least one photograph. By adopting newsroom observation and in-depth interviews with online journalists working for Delo and Dnevnik, we investigate pa…
Practice of Hypertext
Despite scholarly research inconsistencies in conceptualizations of hypertext, there seems to be a consensus among scholars from different epistemological grounds that hypertextuality as a communication potential refers to the interconnectivity and interlayering of textual parts in an extended nonlinear chain of integrated content that enables innovation in practices within the triad journalist–text–reader. However, within this rather large area …
Converging practices and discourses
The debates on new communication patterns between journalists and their audiences have been coupled with the concept of interactivity, which has become one of the pillar terms in discussions on the future evolution of journalism. By exploring general understanding of interactivity between news editors and organisational circumstances where interactivity as a set of new communication practices is articulated in journalism, this study shifts the at…
From One-Man Band to Integrated Newsroom
The study provides a historical inquiry into online journalism newsroom arrangements in the context of the Slovenian media environment. The author concentrates on two leading Slovenian newspapers, Delo and Dnevnik, and explores spatial organisation, editorial decision-making and news-making routines by adopting three qualitative methods: observation, interviews and document analysis. The study shows that online journalism at respective newspapers…
What we do is not actually journalism
This study offers insights into articulations between the normative and the empirical in online journalists’ self-negotiations concerning their roles in people’s assimilation of information, the daily provision of news and their institutional status in online departments. In-depth interviews with online journalists from two leading newspapers, Delo in Slovenia and Novosti in Serbia, are used to investigate their negotiations with respect to their…
Online multimedia news in print media
Using the case of two Slovenian print media as an example, this article examines how online multimedia news has been adopted, what role different newsroom organization models play in online multimedia news production, and what multimedia news formats have emerged on news websites of Slovenian print media organizations. In the last decade, different multimedia news content has been emerging rapidly within news websites of print media organizations…
