Understanding Journalists’ Responses to Occupational Harassment and Intimidation through the Lens of Cognitive Appraisal Theory
Journalists increasingly face work-related harassment and intimidation, yet individuals vary markedly in how they interpret and respond to such encounters. Although prior research has documented this variation, the broader scholarship has offered limited insight into the processes through which it emerges and the factors that contribute to it. This article draws on cognitive appraisal theory to examine how journalists evaluate incidents of harass…
Using the Diary–Interview Method with Time-Constrained Professionals: The Case of Journalists and Harassment
This article presents a methodological reflection on the diary–interview method’s value and application when used with professionals whose schedules are both demanding and unpredictable, drawing on the authors’ insights from a study examining the harassment and intimidation of journalists. Our experiences demonstrate that combining solicited diary entries with recurring interviews can yield substantial advantages over using either method alone. D…
Contested Meanings of Hate Speech and the Post-Truth Condition on Digital Platforms
In the everyday context, the term 'hate speech' has become increasingly politicized and emotionally charged, yet these vernacular constructions of hate speech remain under-explored. Used as both a rhetorical weapon and an object of genuine concern, various understandings of hate speech circulate within interactive everyday cultures of digital media, shaped by the digitalised media environment. With the combination of computational and qualititati…
Harassed for Their Job: Exploring Factors That Render Journalists Prone to Harassment and Intimidation
Amid growing concern over harassment and intimidation targeting journalists, scholarly attention to their occurrence and implications has mushroomed. One aspect of these phenomena that often gets overlooked is that not all journalists seem equally targeted or affected. Applying ordinal regression analysis of 505 sets of questionnaire responses from Finnish professional journalists, the authors found that only a small proportion of respondents exp…

Refugee debate and networked framing in the hybrid media environment
In this article, we analyse how the debate on the ‘refugee crisis’ has been constructed in Finnish news media and social media by using big data analytics. The study applies big data with the aim of exploring the dynamics between the mainstream news media and social media and the ways in which these dynamics shape and strategically amplify different understandings of the refugee crisis. The research highlights over-emphasis of crime and threat-or…
Watchdogs, Advocates and Adversaries: Journalists’ Relational Role Conceptions in Asylum Reporting
Journalistic role conceptions are usually understood as internalised professional conventions about the tasks reporters pursue in society. This study insists that more attention be put on the relational and context-dependent nature of journalistic role conceptions. Adopting a social-interactionist approach to journalistic roles, the study examines how Finnish journalists conceived of their professional roles when covering asylum issues during the…
