The Imagined User: Creating Interactive Narratives in Journalism
Designing for interactivity for audience engagement in journalistic narratives is a new practice that emerged after The New York Times’ success with Snow Fall in 2012. Journalists have begun collaborating with designers in interdisciplinary teams to design these interactive narratives. Few studies describe the new practice that is the result of this collaboration. In this study, we examine the production processes of three journalistic interactiv…
Navigating Interactive Story Spaces. The Architecture of Interactive Narratives in Online Journalism
Over the past decade, journalists have created in-depth interactive narratives to provide an alternative to the relentless 24-hour news cycle. Combining different media forms, such as text, audio, video, and data visualisation with the interactive possibilities of digital media, these narratives involve users in the narrative in new ways. In journalism studies, the convergence of different media forms in this manner has gained significant attenti…

Aggregation, Content Farms and Huffinization: The rise of low-pay and no-pay journalism
The business model of gathering, producing and distributing news is changing rapidly. Producingcontent is not enough; moderation and curation by ‘‘news workers’’ is at least as important. Thereis a growing pressure on news organizations to produce more inexpensive content for digitalplatforms, resulting in new models of low-cost or even free content production. Subscription,advertising revenues and non-profit funding are in many cases insufficien…
Engaging the Social News User: Comments on news sites and Facebook
One of the most common formats of audience participation in journalism consists of online reader comments in response to articles, weblogs, or online television and radio broadcasts. While initially the audience only commented on media platforms themselves, Facebook made it possible to outsource commenting to a third-party platform. The options users have, the rules commenters are obliged to follow, and the moderation regime they confront, could …
Mr. Gates Returns: Curation, community management and other new roles for journalists
Although basic features of journalism have remained the same over recent decades, the tasks journalists perform, the skills they need and the position they have within news organizations have changed dramatically. Usually the focus in the discourse on changes in journalism is on skills, especially on multi-media and research skills. In this paper the focus is also on the professional roles of journalists, arguing that these roles have changed fun…
The Hyperlocal In Practice: Innovation, creativity and diversity
Local reporting has become an endangered occupation. Print publications merge, close down or face budget cuts because audiences and advertisers move online. The result is that fewer journalists are covering local affairs. Online models could be expected to assume the role of traditional print and broadcast media as they are more flexible and cheaper to operate, especially in terms of production and distribution. In the Netherlands, we identified …

This Is Not What We Agreed”: Negotiating interview conditions in Germany and the Netherlands
This paper analyses the attempts made by sources to influence journalistic interviews and the way journalists cope with these attempts both in Germany and the Netherlands. Based on interviews with journalists, examples from interviews, material from handbooks and Press Council complaints, a model is developed that describes the different options sources and journalists employ when negotiating interview conditions. When journalists fail to persuad…
I like news. Searching for the ‘Holy Grail’ of social media: The use of Facebook by Dutch news media and their audiences
News media are increasingly using Facebook as a platform for distribution and user interaction. This article focuses on how Dutch media use Facebook and how audiences participate. By using Facebook, media outsource part of their distribution to a third party platform, avoiding maintenance costs while also hoping for additional revenues because of the increased website traffic. Results indicate that offline and online presence of legacy media do n…

Misfortunes, memories and sunsets: Non-professional images in Dutch news media
In the professional news media, invitations to submit photos and video material are the most common means of allowing citizens to participate in the content production, as opposed to merely commenting on professional material. Based on interviews with leading journalists in different media in the Netherlands, this study examines how professional journalists respond to the phenomenon of amateur photography, how it is assessed in terms of journalis…
The Simultaneous Rise and Fall of Free and Paid Newspapers in Europe

This article maps the development of paid and free circulation newspapers in Europe. It then analyses the relation between the two developments to assess whether free newspapers are substituted for paid dailies. The study focuses on all European markets w…
