Deepfakes and Journalism
The possibility of using deepfake technology to create synthetic media content in journalism requires careful ethical deliberations. Being that journalism is a norm-oriented social institution, there should be a commitment to ethical principles, which raises questions about the compatibility of this technology’s application with journalistic norms. There is a lack of knowledge on how these challenges can be addressed. This research presents four …

Innovations in Journalism. Comparative Research in Five European Countries is an edited book authored and edited by Klaus Meier, Jose A. García-Avilés, Andy Kaltenbrunner, Colin Porlezza, Vinzenz Wyss, Renée Lugschitz, and Korbinian Klinghardt. Given the ongoing and recurring ‘storms in a teacup,’ fixations on the new by ignoring the old, hysterias, hasty actions, or (too) late decisions in the context of profound changes and transformations of j…
Negotiating new professional roles in retail’s workplace learning. Applying the negotiative theory of roles to a VET context
This study understands workplace learning as a social phenomenon and explores ways of how to successfully respond to industrial transformation out of a role-related perspective. The focus is on interactions of social actors in the process of structural change and economic adaptation. The goal of this inductive case study is to explore how 26 actors involved in workplace learning of one of the largest Swiss retailers, perceive, negotiate, and enac…
What shapes the cultivation effects from infotaining content? Toward a theoretical foundation for journalism studies
Infotaining formats are gaining rapid popularity over the past decades. So far, studies often attempt either to define what infotainment is, how the technological and economic changes have given rise to the format, or what effects it exerts, but rarely consider all three aspects together. This raises the possibility that the properties of infotaining formats are under-defined, leading to a confusion about the effects from infotaining content. Thi…
Promoting Resilience with new Learning Cultures. Perception, Negotiation, Normalisation, and Enactment of Change in Workplace Learning
Technological, social, and economic changes challenge workers’ resilience at many levels. Innovative learning cultures have the potential to accommodate industry’s skills expectations with workers need for new forms of workplace learning. This study explores the role of learning cultures as (1) moderators between stability and change, (2) indicators for promoting resilience in VET, and (3) generators for new ideas and innovative approaches in VET…
Journalistic Role Performance
This chapter finds that news-story-level factors—particularly news topics, news sources, and geographic foci—are related to specific journalistic role performances. Controlling for variations due to organizational and country differences, we found that state-related topics such as government issues, political campaigns, and police and court stories positively influence the performance of the watchdog role. We further determined that economy, tran…
Mapping Professional Roles in News Content Across 18 Countries
This chapter maps out general differences and similarities in journalistic role performance—specifically in relation to the presence of the interventionist, watchdog, loyal-facilitator, service, infotainment, and civic roles—across the press of the 18 countries analyzed in this book. Our data offer compelling evidence about the multilayered hybridization of journalistic cultures at the performative level, showing that the presence of professional…
Beyond Journalistic Norms
Chapter 12 critically discusses the main findings of the Journalistic Role Performance Project (JRP) , providing general and specific conclusions, as well as new insights, limitations, and potential lines of inquiry into the study of role performance cross-nationally.
Journalistic Role Performance
Journalistic practice has changed fundamentally in today’s high-choice digital media environments. This is especially true for newspaper journalism, which is suffering from declining circulation and decreasing advertising revenue. The question of how journalism will prevail under such circumstances is closely intertwined with the question of how newspaper organizations handle these challenges. Although changes in news organizations are evident, t…
A Theory of Professional Identity in Journalism
Studies about journalists’ professional identity have so far been scarce. However, understanding the constitution and formation processes of professional identity helps to explore journalists’ and journalism’s identity, performance, and adaption to challenges. The study enhances theories about journalistic roles, professional identity, and adaptation processes in journalism, based on a synthesis of literature from different fields as well as qual…
A Negotiative Theory of Journalistic Roles
In probing how journalists negotiate the perceived discrepancy between their social role orientation and role performance, we arrive at a negotiative theory of roles. The theory is based on an inductive study where we combine classic theoretical frameworks of role theory with conceptual approaches of discursive institutionalism and Hochschilds’ theory of feeling rules. We examined journalists’ narratives from qualitative in-depth interviews with …
Swiss Journalists’ Role Performance
Journalism scholars have mostly studied journalistic role conception and their manifestations in news separately. This study merges these two research approaches to suggest a holistic understanding of the relationship between role conception and role performance. The Swiss case offers a unique context for studying the relationship between ideals and practice because of comparatively weak economic and political pressures on journalism, thus leadin…
Journalists’ contributions to political life in Switzerland
Despite shifts in the news ecology, many journalists in Western democracies still aspire to function as contributors and informants of political life. This study investigates how these journalistic roles unfold in a political system that grants its citizens rather high political power. Based on survey data of 121 Swiss newspaper journalists, we study journalists’ role conceptions and perceptions of role enactment related to the domain of politica…
