Missing a Beat? Exploring U.S. State Legislative Coverage Beyond the Politics Desk
Existing research documents a loss in full-time statehouse reporters, inferring negative impacts on legislative coverage. However, little empirical work actually examines statehouse news content. Using Washington State as a case study, we analyze content produced by eight news organizations to examine what audiences receive as part of the current legislative reporting landscape. We find that nearly half of legislative reporting is produced by rep…
New models, same practices? Examining professional values and peace journalism training
Existing work on peace journalism would suggest that some journalism cultures may be more receptive to—or perhaps already practice elements of—peace journalism. However, little research has documented, nor explored, perceptions of peace journalism when its practices are perceived as customary to situated professional environments. To better understand this phenomenon, this study examines how journalists ascribe value to peace journalism training,…
Explaining the Feminization of Statehouse Reporting in One American State: A Field Analysis
The talent and diversity challenge is much more pronounced at local/regional newsrooms, so the big brands could learn from (some) smaller players about innovative approaches to address the issue. Active recruitment schemes and different recruiting procedures will be a must for newsrooms.The "fishing from the top of the pile" approach needs to be retired.It is also not enough to "widen the pool of applicants" if structural forms of discrimination …
New life for statehouse reporting? The view from one American state
This paper examines news organizations’ shifting editorial and commercial strategies towards statehouse reporting – an important but often neglected form of sub-national journalism in the United States. Through interviews with reporters, editors, and management in one state (Washington), we find that many news organizations are adapting their coverage to better align with transformations in both politics and journalism. The specific strategy an o…
Picturing Peace Journalists: An Examination of Social Profiles and Professional Model Diffusion
Changes in global journalism are reflected in myriad cross-national professionalization efforts, including the development and exportation of models for journalism practice. Literature on peace journalism, for instance, suggests that its adaptation across contexts is shaped by forces on several levels, including the influence of individual media practitioners. However, little research examines those likely to practice peace journalism nor the imp…
In Peace Journalism we Trust? Effects of Peace Journalism on News-item Credibility and Media Trust
Responding to criticisms that conflict reporting is at times overly sensational with negative impacts on individuals, peace journalism aims to shift journalistic attention from episodic, event-based reports to coverage highlighting structural causes of conflict as well as its peaceful transformation. However, little is known about how audiences perceive such reports, particularly when it comes to perceptions of credibility or trust. Using an expe…
The Representation of Public Opinion in Routine U.S. Network News
Against a backdrop of increasing opinion polarization and distrust in mainstream news media, we investigate when and how U.S. evening newscasts represent citizen opinions.This paper focuses on the different public opinion displays presented in the news and the viewpoints they portray.Using a content analysis of 1577 items from CBS, ABC, and NBC evening news, we find that public opinion is represented relatively more often in foreign and political…
For People, For Policy: Journalists’ Perceptions of Peace Journalism in East Africa
Compared to studies on peace-journalism content, little research examines journalists’ perceptions of peace journalism despite theoretical suggestions that individuals influence content production. To address this relative disparity, this study examines the social conditions shaping journalists’ perceptions of peace journalism using a hierarchy-of-influences perspective and data from 20 in-depth interviews with East African journalists, conducted…
Mapping Peace Journalism: Toward a Shared Understanding of Success
Peace journalism has enjoyed increased attention in recent decades, though this interest does not necessarily correspond to less polarized conflict coverage or more peaceful societies around the world. Although these realities cannot be attributed to peace journalism alone, such disconnects invite a clearer conceptualization of peace journalism and its scholarly development. Analyzing more than 100 studies, this theoretical exploration reviews th…
