A special issue on qualitative theorizing and methodological advancements
If the discipline’s goal is to advance practice, policy, and theory, it is imperative that communication scholars are engaging in rigorous research and that our flagship field-general journals (Communication Monographs [CM], Communication Research [CR], Human Communication Research [HCR], and Journal of Communication [JOC], which we refer to as the “Big Four” hereafter) are publishing the most meaningful inter- and sub-disciplinary work. When a m…
A game worth playing
This article examines the formation of a belief in journalism as a worthwhile career in France and the United States. Using journalists’ memoirs, early textbooks and novels depicting journalism, we show that a life in news became appealing in the late nineteenth century due to the novel mixture of material and symbolic rewards on offer. Promising pay for work that seemed adventurous and exciting, with opportunities for expression, the potential f…
Journalistic Judgment in Comparative Perspective
Building on literatures that emphasize (1) the standardizing effects of markets and technology, and (2) the historical patterns and social functions of the press, this article theorizes the simultaneous co-presence of cross-national similarities and differences in journalistic judgment. Drawing from Max Weber's early twentieth century writings on journalism, we argue that similar cross-national judgments reveal journalism's shared structural basi…
Endure, Invest, Ignore
This paper explores journalists’ reactions to economic constraints and technological transformations in two cities: Toulouse, France, and Seattle, United States. Through semi-structured interviews, we show that journalists in both places either endure these conditions, invest in them as professional opportunities, or ignore them altogether. Drawing on Bourdieu, we argue that these distinct responses are shaped in part by a journalist’s position i…
The Universal and the Contextual of Media Systems
Current discussions about the state of comparative research in journalism studies and political communication suggests the field is characterized by a methodological imbalance (i.e., many quantitative studies, few qualitative ones). This paper suggests the problem is better understood as an epistemological imbalance. We suggest that one epistemology—we call it “universalism”—underpins much comparative scholarship. While this approach produces num…
How journalists use social media in France and the United States
This article examines journalists’ use of social media in France and the United States. Through in-depth interviews, we show that shared practical sensibilities lead journalists in both countries to use social media to accomplish routine tasks (e.g. gather information, monitor sources, and develop story ideas). At the same time, we argue that the incorporation of social media into daily practice also creates opportunities for journalists to garne…
Les enquetes comparatives comme des relations sociales
As pesquisas comparativas sobre a mídia são bastante numerosas atualmente. Contudo, poucas abordam as dificuldades precisas da comparação como estratégia metodológica ou ainda as condições de produção da pesquisa comparativa. Com o objetivo de trazer pistas de reflexão sobre este último aspecto, o artigo propõe um exercício de objetificação participante de uma equipe de três pesquisadores situados em posições distintas no espaço acadêmico (um pro…
Explaining the Formation of Online News Startups in France and the United States
This article examines the differential formation of online news startups in Toulouse, France, and Seattle, United States. While Seattle is home to many startups, in Toulouse there have been just 4—and only 1 continues publishing. Drawing on Bourdieu's field theory, we argue that amount and types of capital held by journalists in the 2 cities varied as a result of differences in journalism's position in the field of power. These differences shaped…

How effective is media self-regulation? Results from a comparative survey of European journalists
This article presents key results of a comparative journalists’ survey on media accountability, for which 1762 journalists in 14 countries had been interrogated online. The article explores how European journalists perceive the impact of old versus new media accountability instruments on professional journalistic standards – established instruments like press councils, ethics codes, ombudsmen and media criticism, but also more recent online instr…
Media Systems Online and Off
This study examines how media system differences in the form of news change or stay the same as newspapers in the United States (liberal), Denmark (democratic corporatist), and France (polarized pluralist) move from print to online. Internet technological affordances are posited to move online news toward more advertising and information (liberal model) and more opinion and deliberation (polarized pluralist model). In the liberal direction, adver…
