Mobilities, Immobilities and News Work
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the routines of face-to-face news gathering and newsroom interaction were severely disrupted by the new normal of physical distancing and remote work. So far, journalism scholars have addressed news production, performance, employment and mental health, among other topics, but not the mobilities and immobilities of journalists during this period. Taking this into account, this article studies the percep…
En los márgenes de la institución periodística
A partir de trabajo de campo en Chiapas, Tabasco y Veracruz, Del Palacio (2024) conceptualiza a los periodistas hiperlocales precarizados que abundan en el interior de los estados de México y en América Latina como “periodistas de frontera”, como periodistas que se ubican en los márgenes del Estado. Esta definición permite reconocerlos como periodistas y protegerlos en situaciones de riesgo
“A Mercenary, a Thug … not Even a Journalist”
This article proposes a novel approach to anti-press discourse by defining it as stigmatization of journalists and developing a case study on the most dangerous country for the practice of journalism in the world, Mexico. It examines the process of stigmatization of news workers during the López Obrador administration (2018–2024), stressing its escalation after a feature that exposed the luxurious lifestyle of the Mexican president's eldest son w…
Mediatización, desintermediación y usurpación
ES. El objetivo de este artículo de corte conceptual es establecer un vínculo entre las perspectivas de mediatización, desintermediación y cierre social con la intención de teorizar las estrategias de monopolización de la información desarrolladas por el populismo contemporáneo. Tomando al gobierno de México encabezado por Andrés Manuel López Obrador como referente empírico, se plantea que el populismo no se limita a intentar excluir del proceso …

Bringing History back into Media Systems Theory
Since Hallin and Mancini's (2004) seminal work, many scholars from around the world have proposed different models of media systems for countries and regions outside the Western world. Particular challenges have arisen when conceptualizing the systems in Latin America, where shifting liberal and polarized pluralist models have been proposed, and where media traits like clientelism and collusion remain in spite of political, economic and social ch…
Newsrooms as Non Places
The objective of this article is to analyze the meaning of journalists’ voluntary turnover in the configuration of the space that they have historically occupied: newsrooms. Drawing on Auge’s concept of non-place and fieldwork in the leading newspapers of three northern Mexican states, it is discovered that the recurring recreation of turnover events transforms newsrooms from spaces of permanence into spaces of transition; that is, from places to…
Journalists as mobility agents
As mobility is becoming a distinctive feature of 21st century journalists, this theoretical article proposes a mobility turn in journalism studies. Drawing on sociological perspectives on mobilities, individualization, and turnover, it puts forward a shift from the analysis of news workers as static and fixed to the organizations that employ them to their analysis as mobility agents. By stressing that their capacity to move is transforming their …
This Is My Exit Sign”
The objective of this article is to analyze the relationship between job control, role strain and turnover in Mexican journalism. Understood as the workers’ capacity to influence decision-making at an organizational level, job control is a concept that can help us predict turnover in this country’s newspapers. The analysis is based on 64 in-depth interviews with journalists and former journalists from three northern Mexican states: Baja Californi…
Beyond Exogenous Models
Mexican journalism scholars have resorted to exogenous models of the press to study this country’s news production. This has imported standards developed abroad and has hindered the analysis of Mexican journalism in its own terms. In order to reverse this trend, this article develops an inductive approach focused on the organizational discourses which gave form to Mexican journalism’s modernization. Identifying the development of the “prensa vend…
They don’t trust us; they don’t care if we’re attacked
Drawing from 93 semi-structured, in-person interviews with journalists from 23 states, this article analyzes the relation between trust and risk perception in Mexican journalism. It focuses on how Mexican journalists perceive and experience public trust placed in them as social actors, and how it influences their willingness or reluctance to assume the risks associated with reporting on corruption and drug-trafficking in a country marked by anti-…
