Not Too Full of Themselves to Notice
This study draws on risk theory to explore what factors predict journalists’ justification of aggressive and controversial practices, using a representative sample of New Zealand journalists gathered as part of the Worlds of Journalism study. Results show journalists’ judgments about practices are predicted by their gender, role, ethical orientation, age and commercial influences. In particular, this is the first study that shows that experience …

Aggressive reporting practices involving deception or intrusion have long been controversial, yet little is known about how often journalists use them, and why. This study of New Zealand journalists is the first since 2005 that has asked a representative national sample of journalists about their experience of these practices.

It validates this model using data from a survey of pract…
