Eventification of Journalism Practice: Journalists’ and Event Producers’ Reflective Practice at a Democracy Festival
This article examines the role of live event organising in journalism through a qualitative case study of SuomiAreena, a large-scale democracy festival co-organised by a commercial news organisation and a local city government in Finland. Drawing on event studies, the article introduces eventification as a framework to explore how journalism and event production intersect. Empirically, the study explores journalists’ and event producers’ experien…
Kymmenen teesiä dataistuneesta mediasta
Tässä puheenvuoroartikkelissa ryhmä tutkijoita tarkastelee median dataistumista kymmenen teesin kautta. Teesit perustuvat neljään eri tutkimushankkeeseen. Data ja algoritmit ovat vakiintuneet osaksi mediasisältöjen tuotantoa, johtamista ja yleisösuhteita. Tämä herättää kuitenkin myös epäilyä, jännitteitä ja kysymyksiä vallasta. Kirjoittajat esittävät, että dataa hyödynnetään mediassa usein taloudellisen tehokkuuden näkökulmasta. Samalla ihmiset –…
Journalismin moniäänisyys osana median monimuotoisuuden ilmiötä
Moniäänisyys on perinteisesti käsitetty journalismin demokratiatehtävään läheisesti liittyvänä hyveenä, mutta viime aikoina siitä on tullut yhä kiistellympi aihe. Moniäänisyyden ympärille syntyvissä erimielisyyksissä on osittain kyse käsitesekaannuksesta, jota journalismin tutkimus ei ole pystynyt riittävästi selkiyttämään. Suomalaista keskustelua mutkistavat sekä moniäänisyyteen kohdennetun tutkimuksen vähäisyys että erityinen sana – moniäänisyy…
Journalismia opiskelleiden uraorientaatiot ja liikkuminen median ammattikentällä
Median ammattikentän on sanottu muuttuneen rajoiltaan ja muodoltaan niin joustavaksi, että sillä työskentelevien ammatillisista urista on tullut entistä sirpalemaisempia ja yksilöllisempiä. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelemme tilannetta vastikään journalistikoulutuksen saaneiden näkökulmasta. Kuvaamme 43 suomalaisen korkeakouluopiskelijan uraorientaatioita valmistumisen kynnyksellä, ja seuraamme heidän ammatillisia polkujaan vuoden 2020 lopusta vuod…
Lltalehden Toimituksen Ja Yleisön Pelillistynyt Suhde Analytiikan Aikakaudella
Artikkeli tarkastelee, millaisia pelillisiä piirteitä yleisöanalytiikan hyödyntäminen tuo iltapäivälehden toimitustyöhön, miten yleisö suhtautuu niihin ja millaiseksi tämä muovaa journalismin ja yleisön suhdetta. Artikkeli perustuu Iltalehden toimituksessa kerättyyn etnografiseen aineistoon sekä 21 Iltalehden lukijan ryhmähaastatteluihin ja ryhmächat-keskusteluihin. Artikkelin teoreettinen viitekehys rakentuu journalismin ja yleisön suhdetta kosk…
Aika parantaa: Päätoimittajien ymmärrys etnisen monimuotoisuuden vahvistamisesta suomalaisessa journalismiprofessiossa
Artikkeli analysoi suomalaisten päätoimittajien näkemyksiä toimitusten etnisestä monimuotoisuudesta. Artikkelissa monimuotoisuutta lähestytään konstruktiivisen professiokäsityksen ja diskursiivisuuden näkökulmista. Artikkelia varten on haastateltu kymmentä suomalaista päätoimittajaa touko–elokuussa 2022. Analyysissa esitetään erilaisia päätoimittajien haastatteluista esiin nousseita tulkintarepertuaareja. Tutkimusaineiston perusteella voidaan san…
The managerial and future-oriented role of audience data in data-informed news organisations
One sign of datafication in journalism is that newsrooms utilise insights from audience data and related metrics in their decision-making. In professional discourse, this often alludes to the notion of ‘data-informed newsrooms’ in which organisations are managed with the help of data. This article focuses on the managerial role of audience data in such organisations: What types of audience data inform newsrooms, which domains of newsroom manageme…
X Journalism’.Exploring journalism’s diverse meanings through the names we give it
In this article we propose the notion of X Journalism as an observational tool and concept. It owes its existence to a simple observation: the evolution of journalism is accompanied by the emergence of ever-new journalism-related terms, i.e. combinations of the word ‘journalism’ with a particular modifying term that represents and signals a certain specificity and novelty. Examples include ‘robot journalism’, ‘foundation-funded journalism’, ‘cros…
About Actor Positioning in Journalism…Slowly
In this commentary, I argue that adopting a practice-theoretical research approach helps us to better understand the dispersed nature of journalism and its large web of actors, both traditional and non-traditional. I take innovation as an example that can be fruitfully examined through the practice lens. I also propose narrative positioning analysis as an additional method for digging more deeply—and slowly—into the positions that these varied ac…
Journalism Theory
This chapter aims at unmasking the nature of journalism studies through the ways in which it makes use of, and partly develops, theory. Journalism studies is a multidisciplinary field of academic inquiry. As such, it employs theory from a wide range of academic disciplines and traditions, and—as its object of study changes—is in constant search of new ways of understanding what journalism is. Like social and political theory, cultural theory occu…

Introducing a New Form of Socially Responsible Journalism: Experiences from the Conciliatory Journalism Project
This study examines the professional self-understanding of the social responsibility of journalism. It is based on an action research project that invited Finnish journalists to workshops to develop the notion of “conciliatory journalism” together with researchers. The project’s aim was to find ways to reorient journalism during the times of social polarisation, and it drew from various forms of socially responsible journalism, conflict mediation…
Why Do We Suddenly Talk So Much About Constructiveness
Introduction: Why do we suddenly talk so much about constructiveness?The talk about "constructive journalism" is currently gaining a great deal of attention in the newsrooms of many broadcasters, newspapers and online news sites -and increasingly also in the academic discussions.Here "constructive" means that journalism should focus not only on social problems, but also on the possible solutions and spaces of action in their coverage.This would, …

Deconstructing Digital Journalism Studies
This chapter discusses the formation and state of digital journalism studies as a field of research. It provides an overview of the emergence of this field of research and discusses its interdisciplinarity as well as assesses its standing and possible blind spots. The chapter explains how digital journalism studies has evolved from being dominated by a discourse of revolution, via evolution, to a discourse of deconstruction, which currently domin…
How Is Participation Practiced by “In-Betweeners” of Journalism
This article suggests viewing journalism as a structure of public communication that is enacted through the practices of various actors at sites that go beyond the newsroom. In this practice-oriented understanding, journalists, audiences and all citizen actors in-between these traditional positions take part in the enactment of journalism. This article focuses on the “in-betweeners” of journalism: citizens who are not employed as full-time journa…
A Welfare State of Mind: Nordic journalists’ conception of their role and autonomy in international context
The development of journalism in the Nordic countries has been shaped by two interconnected ideologies: the welfare state and democratic corporatism. International reviews have repeatedly emphasized the similarities of the media systems in these countries. However, less work has been done on the professional identity of individual journalists working within these systems. In this article, the similarities and differences between journalists’ prof…
Practice Theory for Journalism Studies: Operationalizing the concept of practice for the study of participation
This article offers a theoretical-methodological contribution to the discussion on the relationship between practice theory and journalism. The article argues that the domain of practice theory—combining elements from cultural and social theories—offers the opportunity to both move away from industrial or professional frameworks of studying journalism and to examine how journalism is reproduced in practices of various agents involved in its enact…
Theories of Journalism in a Digital age: An exploration and introduction
This special issue introductory article investigates contemporary notions of theory in journalism studies. Many scholars have argued that we need better ways of conceptualising what journalism is and how it develops in a digital age. There is, however, a lack of knowledge regarding what the theoretical trends within the interdisciplinary domain of journalism studies are today and to what extent contemporary inquiries into journalism are framed by…
Citizen eyewitness images and audience engagement in crisis coverage
Amateur imagery has become an important component of news coverage of distant crisis events, and it plays a decisive role in shaping how audiences respond to crises. In this article, we discuss how the factors of authenticity, affectivity, and ethics play a role in the ways in which citizen images engage or disengage the distant audience. The article is based on 17 focus group interviews in Sweden and Finland that centred on a selection of visual…

Proximity As A Journalistic Keyword In The Digital Era: A study on the “closeness” of amateur news images
Proximity is an ambiguous journalistic notion for which there is no single definition. In this article, we re-evaluate the relevance and use of the concept in the digital news environment. Based on interviews with journalists in Finland and audience focus groups in Finland and the United Kingdom, we ask how new forms of visual amateur production incorporated into professional news journalism have transformed the concept. The concept of proximity …
The Relevance of Journalism: Studying news audiences in a digital era
The media-saturated nature of everyday life is well acknowledged in current audience research, but the role of journalism for people living in this digitalised environment remains less clear. To provide a better understanding of the role of journalism and news in everyday life, this article states the case for combining two complementary analytical perspectives in cultural audience research that draw on the framework of practice theory. We need t…
Public journalism and professional reflexivity
The self-understanding of journalists is framed by shared norms, values, and a sense of belonging to a professional group. In this article, the journalistic profession is discussed from the viewpoint of journalists’ own work experiences in public journalism projects. The article examines the way in which public journalism projects in three different newspapers in Finland have acted as a ground for professional reflexivity for journalists. The pre…
From Credibility to Relevance: Towards a sociology of journalism's “added value”
Uncertainty about the future of journalism and what may be expected from the news media have generated special interest in how news organisations connect with the audience. In this paper three analytical approaches are described: institutional connection, market connection and public connection. While the two former approaches are more familiar to the media industry, it is argued that the latter seems theoretically and empirically more useful. Fu…
