Antagonistic, Agonistic or Disinterested? How Peripheral Actors Across Beats Breach or Accept Social and Symbolic Boundaries of Journalism
In the digital age, peripheral journalistic actors increasingly contribute to information and views and increasingly impact the journalistic field depending on their transformative aims. To better understand their transformative intentions across all of journalism, we need to expand our focus to diverse journalistic beats. This study examines 192 Austrian peripheral websites and social media pages, spanning a broad spectrum of topics in politics,…
Am Rande des Journalismus. Rollenverständnis und Transformationspotenzial peripherer Akteur: Innen in der Dach-Region
In den vergangenen Jahren hat die Entgrenzung des journalistischen Feldes dazu geführt, dass die Unterscheidung zwischen Journalismus und Nicht-Journalismus zunehmend schwieriger geworden ist. In der Journalismusforschung wird deshalb besonderes Augenmerk auf sogenannte periphere Akteure gelegt, also jene, die zwar oftmals journalismusähnliche Inhalte produzieren, aber nicht im traditionellen Sinne als Journalist:innen gelten. Beispiele sind Blog…
Decoding inequalities in the journalistic field: A theoretical approach to how symbolic violence shapes journalistic career trajectories
Achieving diversity is a fraught process in the journalistic field, with persistent inequalities shaping the experiences of marginalized journalistic actors. By combining Bourdieu’s field theory and Crenshaw’s concept of intersectionality, we offer a conceptual framework tracing how marginalized journalistic actors experience symbolic violence and symbolic dominance in different journalistic fields around the globe. These experiences can stem fro…
Situating Constructive Journalism: Boundary-Drawing and Self-Positioning Among Austrian Journalists
Autonomy, Objectivity, and Transparency: The Meaning and Negotiation of Journalistic Values Across Different Journalistic Beats
As an institution, journalism relies on several key normative values to claim authority and legitimacy— autonomy, objectivity , and transparency . Although these concepts have been widely studied, most research employs quantitative approaches or focuses on specific beats, often political journalism. Drawing on fifty-five in-depth interviews with Austrian journalists, we examine the meaning of these journalistic values and their relevance in polit…
Diversität im journalistischen Selbstverständnis. Eine Analyse des Rollenselbst- und -fremdbildes traditioneller und peripherer Akteur*innen im österreichischen Journalismus
Periphere journalistische Akteure produzieren und verbreiten vermehrt Journalismus-ähnliche Inhalte in digitalen Räumen und lassen dadurch die Grenzen des Journalismus zunehmend verschwimmen. Viele dieser Akteure wollen nachhaltig zur Inhalts-, Perspektiven- und Akteurs-Diversität im öffentlichen Diskurs beitragen, wodurch dieser Anspruch oft ihrem Rollenselbstbild zugeschrieben wird. Wir wissen jedoch bislang wenig darüber, wie sich Rollenselbst…
Activists for Diversity or Diverse Journalists? How Austrian Peripheral Journalistic Actors’ Role Orientations Serve as Boundary Markers
Technological innovations have signaled a shift in the journalistic field, enabling a wider range of actors to participate in public discourses and challenge the hegemonic power structures of traditional journalism from the outside. Consequently, historical notions of alternative media have expanded to encompass a variety of new actors within and beyond the boundaries of the journalistic field, with some explicitly claiming to focus on issues of …
Emotional Dimensions of the Adoption of Audience Analytics: Results from a Survey of Austrian Journalists
Audience analytics have been a vital development in the digital transformation of the journalistic field over the past decades. Journalism scholarship has paid ample attention to this, albeit mostly focusing on the impact analytics have on news production, typically against the background of a fear that their increased use would lead to a dumbing down of news. Fewer studies have, however, been concerned with how individual journalists adapt to th…
Dimensions of Peripherality in Journalism: A Typology for Studying New Actors in the Journalistic Field
The emergence of an increasingly complex variety of digital actors who may be considered as engaging in journalism has led to a veritable explosion of scholarship on peripheral actors in the field. Numerous cases have been analyzed, yet we currently lack a systematic understanding of the shapes and forms in which such actors can be studied. To better account for the increasing complexity in this area of scholarship, this article conducts a system…
