AI Hype and its Function: An Ethnographic Study of the Local News AI Initiative of the Associated Press
Economic precarity and the competitive environment of the news industry have resulted in pressures for news professionals to become early adopters and foster AI in journalism. At the same time, practitioners have voiced concerns over overblown expectations of AI and ethical challenges specific to journalistic contexts. Against this backdrop, this study asks: What function do expectations serve in realizing journalistic AI projects in small newsro…
The logics of innovation. Institutional logics and isomorphic pressures in public service media innovation labs in the age of artificial intelligence
This study explores how Public Service Media (PSM) innovation laboratories navigate a complex institutional environment that simultaneously constrains and demands innovation. Drawing on the concepts of isomorphic pressures and institutional logics, the study investigates strategies used by PSM innovation labs to innovate within institutional constraints. Based on interviews with editorial technologists from three PSM innovation labs in Germany, w…
Perceived personal and societal data harms shape users’ data control preferences
Young Europeans respond differently to data harms: perceived adverse consequences to oneself lead to resignation from individual control while perceived adverse consequences for democracy motivate support for both personal and regulatory protections
Taming AI: How AI courses for journalists shape the global appropriation of AI
Datafication of Journalism: How Data Elites and Epistemic Infrastructures Change News Organizations
Data has become an increasingly important commodity for news organizations. The capability to extract, store, and analyze data is also central to organizational decision-making. Drawing on the concept of epistemic infrastructures, this study sheds light on organizational datafication in journalism. Analyzing job advertisements of incumbent broadcast, print legacy, and online-only news outlets in the US and UK, this study traces material underpinn…
Introduction to the Special Issue: The (invisible) work involved in bridging the research-practice gap in journalism
Journalism & Audience Datafication: How Audience Data Practices Shape Inequity
Datafication is embedded in cultural, economic, and political power structures which reinforce social inequities. Instead of simply providing news professionals with insights on user behavior, datafication may facilitate maldistribution, misrecognition and misrepresentation. Applying justice theory on audience data practices based on n = 31 interviews with news professionals working for global and national news organizations (including BBC World,…
Solving journalism with data: Silicon Valley’s influence on the Fourth Estate
The historically ambiguous relationship between journalism and Big Tech can be traced back to the late 20th century, when news organizations started to recognize the potential of the Internet as a distribution platform. While a growing body of literature is concerned with power asymmetries between Big Tech and journalism, the role of place in shaping the layered histories of journalism remains underexplored. This study uses a framework of place—c…
Algorithm dependency in platformized news use
Previous research has highlighted the ambiguous experience of algorithmic news curation whereby people are simultaneously comfortable with algorithms, but also concerned about the underlying data collection practices. The present article builds on media dependency theory and news-finds-me (NFM) perceptions to explore this tension. Empirically, we analyze original survey data from six European countries (Germany, Sweden, France, Greece, Poland, an…
Moving people: Proper distance and global news coverage of migration in 2019
Moving people comprise both a subject of news reports (of refugees, migrants and other people-on-the-move) and a way of reporting on the issues involved. Viewers can be moved and placed in a discursive relation to the displaced when news stories construct what Arendt called ‘proper distance’. This possibility is explored in the article, which compares coverage of migration issues in 2019 on four global television news channels: Al Jazeera English…
