On society’s reachability , representability , and ability for dialogue: Exploring the interrelation between journalism and social cohesion
In politics and academia, but also in the broader public, there has been wide discussion concerning a sense of dwindling social cohesion most markedly in liberal democracies. One of the virulent questions in this context is the role journalism plays and the common notion that journalism can strengthen or weaken cohesion. However, there is no shared understanding of whether and how journalism or journalistic reporting influence cohesion and whethe…
From Cultivating Fans to Coping With Troublemakers: A Typology of Journalists’ Audience Relationships
The journalism–audience relationship has become central in journalism research, yet it is not singular but diverse, varying even for individual journalists. Based on 52 in-depth interviews, we develop a typology of 11 distinct forms of audience relationships that journalists can maintain and combine. Each form represents a communicative figuration encompassing a specific audience construction, unique relationship practices, and a certain frame of…
Content Analyses of User Comments in Journalism: A Systematic Literature Review Spanning Communication Studies and Computer Science
Different disciplines have studied the content of online user comments in various contexts, using manual qualitative/quantitative or (semi-)automated approaches. The broad spectrum and disciplinary divides make it difficult to grasp an overview of those aspects which have already been examined, e.g. to identify findings related to one's own research, recommendable methodological approaches, and under-researched topics. We introduce a systematic l…
Dann klappt’s auch mit den Nerds! Eine Reflektion von Kooperationen zwischen Informatiker*innen und Journalismusforscher*innen samt Hilfestellung für die erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit
Angesichts eines zunehmend durch digital-vernetzte Endgeräte und Plattformen, Automatisierung, Datafizierung usw. geprägten Journalismus sind Journalismusforscher*innen aufgefordert, verstärkt mit Informatiker*innen zusammenzuarbeiten, um relevante Fragestellungen ihres Gegenstandsbereichs angemessen bearbeiten zu können. Interdisziplinäre Kooperationen sind jedoch weder trivial, noch werden Wissenschaftler*innen wirklich auf ihre Besonderheiten …
Neutral vermitteln“ oder „ermächtigend berichten“? Strukturelle Unterschiede von journalistischem Rollenselbstverständnis und bevölkerungsseitigen Erwartungen
In der Forschung zu journalistischen Rollen gewinnen in letzter Zeit „Beziehungsstudien“ an Bedeutung, die mithilfe von Journalist*innen- und Bevölkerungsbefragungen ermittelte Selbst- und Fremderwartungen an journalistische Leistungen gegenüberstellen. Methodisch dominieren dabei Vergleiche von Mittelwerten, Korrelations- oder Hauptkomponentenanalysen, die vordefinierte, kommunikatorzentrierte Dimensionen über die Umfragedaten legen. Wir gehen i…
What Journalists Want and What They Ought to Do (In)Congruences Between Journalists’ Role Conceptions and Audiences’ Expectations
This article analyzes how journalists’ role conceptions compare to what the population expects fromthem. We model this interrelation as part of the reflexive relationship between journalism and audiences which is characterized by mutual (self-)expectations that can be more or less congruent. Through a representative CATI-survey (n = 1,000) we explore the tasks German citizens expect journalists to fulfill and compare them with existing representa…
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…
Making sense of user comments: Identifying journalists’ requirements for a comment analysis framework
Newsrooms are still searching for ways to manage user comments because of both a desire for professional distance from their audiences and a lack of analytical tools. This paper presents findings from our exploratory, interdisciplinary study in journalism research and computer science that focuses on the algorithmic classification and clustering of user comments. In contrast to endeavours that aim at filtering out hate speech or spam, we take a m…
Data-driven reporting: An on-going (r)evolution? An analysis of projects nominated for the Data Journalism Awards 2013–2016
Data-driven journalism can be considered as journalism’s response to the datafication of society. To better understand the key components and development of this still young and fast evolving genre, we investigate what the field itself defines as its ‘gold-standard’: projects that were nominated for the Data Journalism Awards from 2013 to 2016 (n = 225). Using a content analysis, we examine, among other aspects, the data sources and types, visual…
Journalism and participatory practices – Blurring or reinforcement of boundaries between journalism and audiences
Including the Audience: Comparing the attitudes and expectations of journalists and users towards participation in German TV news journalism
The audience has always been an important reference for journalism although, under mass media conditions, it remained an "operative fiction" for its practitioners, reflecting a clear distinction between sender and recipients. Recent shifts in mediated communication towards networked public spheres and the increasing implementation of participatory features force media organizations, journalists and scholars alike to rethink the journalism–audienc…
