Examining Platforms’ Affordances
Digital technologies, especially social media platforms, are crucial to journalism’s engagement with audiences. Journalists depend on these information technologies to distribute news, while users largely rely on social media platforms for informing themselves. However, research on the role of platforms in journalism appears to have mainly focused on the risks they pose to the profession with little attention given to how platforms’ affordances f…
Journalism Facing Autocratization
This article interprets Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) as a strategy of media capture in the context of autocratization processes, and addresses them as a multidimensional phenomenon, beyond the juridical process that is at the core. This approach is applied to an exploratory analysis of the situation in three countries with different autocratization trends: Germany, Croatia and North Macedonia. Through focus groups with…

SLAPPs against journalists in Europe
Reports show that media freedom is under pressure worldwide. Violence against journalists has a legal facet that takes the form of Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) that aim at silencing critical speech. While in some countries there are legal protections against SLAPPs, in Europe a debate is only recently being carried out, mainly fostered by professional journalist associations and civil society. This article explores the…
Ethics as the backbone of the professional identity of Belgian journalism interns
This study analyzes the perceptions of professional ethics expressed by Belgian – both Francophone and Flemish – journalism students after their first internships. 13 focus groups including 59 students from 7 universities were organized. These young journalists detailed how ethics play a central role in the development of their professional identity, during their first professional experience. Results show that both Flemish and French-speaking jo…
Belgian Journalists in Lockdown
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted an important paradox: it has reminded us of the importance of the news media and the central place it occupies in the public space in times of crisis. At the same time, it has showed the major difficulties the industry faces in Belgium and elsewhere in the world. The lockdown disrupted the employment and practices of many journalists in ways that may reveal the contemporary tensions between professional ident…
From Abstract News Users to Living Citizens
Journalists’ increasing focus on news users is often seen as diverting the news agenda away from the core issues that are important to democracy. Hence, the practices of connecting journalists to the audience tend to be assessed as detrimental to the democratic function of journalism: informing citizens and facilitating public opinion. However, this normative link between practice and ideals has rarely been empirically addressed when studying aud…
Introduction
Making sense of the mutual shaping of journalism and algorithms requires research that closely analyses developments in very concrete, precise settings, but also studies that take a wider, theoretical perspective, or that put this evolution in historical context. This special issue provides this variety of points of view to contribute to the understanding of the opportunities and the challenges at the intersection between journalism and technolog…
Indymedia in Belgium
Belgium was one of the first European countries to establish a local ‘national’ branch of the global Indymedia network. The diversity of those involved in this ‘national movement’ ultimately turned out to be both the strength of the original website and the cause of its decline. Indeed, due to political and organizational disagreement, many activists decided to create their own ‘local’ Independent Media Centre (IMC). This article distinguishes tw…
Journalism, Social Media, and Online Publics
This chapter provides an overview of the state of the art: the main empirical results of over a decade of studies, the theoretical and methodological developments, and the open challenges for future research. Participatory journalism, “the idea that digital technologies enable the audience to get involved in making and disseminating the news”, has been the key underlying conceptualization for the study of social media. Social media are an importa…
Predictors of credibility of online media in the Spanish polarized media system
Credibility of online news media is facing important challenges: the levelling effect of the digital environment, the changing habits of consumption, polarization of discourses... This scenario makes it relevant to address what features of news brands and news content shape the credibility of contemporary journalism. This article tests a set of items, including journalistic standards, reputation and citizen participation, in order to build predic…
Een mediapark in Brussel? De mediasector en zijn regionale dynamiek
In deze synthesenota analyseren we vanuit een mediaclusterperspectief de kenmerken van de Brusselse mediasector en evalueren we de implicaties voor de grote beleidsinterventie van het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest in deze sector: mediapark.brussels. Dit stadsontwikkelingsproject ter hoogte van de Reyerslaan, vlak bij de huidige site van de openbare televisiezenders VRT en RTBF, zal tien jaar in beslag nemen. De resultaten van ons onderzoek werpe…
A mediapark in Brussels? The media industry and its regional dynamics
This synopsis analyses from a media cluster perspective the characteristics of the media industry in Brussels and assesses the implications for the major policy intervention of the Brussels Capital Region in this industry: the mediapark.brussels, a 10-year urban and property development project at Reyers around the existing site of the public broadcasting companies VRT and RTBF. Our research results shed light on several clustering configurations…

Dealing with the mess (we made)
In this article, we discuss the rise and use of the concept of hybridity in journalism studies. Hybridity afforded a meaningful intervention in a discipline that had the tendency to focus on a stabilized and homogeneous understanding of the field. Nonetheless, we now need to reconsider its deployment, as it only partially allows us to address and understand the developments in journalism. We argue that if scholarship is to move forward in a produ…

Journalistic Role Performance
The Sage Handbook of Digital Journalism
The era of digital journalism represents a shift in the forms of knowing – or epistemology – of journalism. This shift, I argue, has opened up new spaces for more emotional and personalized forms of expression in public discourse. In referring to digital journalism, I am interested in tracing the consequences of a particular set of developments that have occurred as a result of the “digital disruption” (Jones and Salter, 2011) engendered by the e…
Sage Handbook of Digital Journalism
The production and consumption of news in the digital era is blurring the boundaries between professionals, citizens and activists. Actors producing information are multiplying, but still media companies hold central position. Journalism research faces important challenges to capture, examine, and understand the current news environment. The SAGE Handbook of Digital Journalism starts from the pressing need for a thorough and bold debate to redefi…
Journalism beyond the boundaries
The concept of has become a central theme in the study of journalism. In recent years, the decline of legacy news organizations and the rise of new interactive media tools have thrust such questions as is and who is a journalist into the limelight. Struggles over journalism are often struggles over boundaries. These symbolic contests for control over definition also mark a material struggle over resources. In short: have consequences. Yet there i…
Follow Them, Closely
The ability to gather millions of data snippets of social media interactions offers a fascinating glimpse of the dynamics of the (digital) public sphere, a wealth of data asking for interpretations. This article pleas researchers not to rely solely on algorithms, but to resort to ethnographic methods to follow the citizens behind the social media users
Opportunities and Limitations of Newsroom Convergence
Like many news media organisations, European public service broadcasters are adapting their corporate strategies to the specific demands of the evolving communicative environment. Digitisation and convergence have usually been presented as an opportunity to reinvent public service broadcasting into public service media, by producing and delivering (news) content across traditional radio, television and new online platforms. While investment in di…
Participatory Journalism Practices in the Media and Beyond
This article is a contribution to the debate on audience participation in online media with a twofold aim: (1) making conceptual sense of the phenomenon of participatory journalism in the framework of journalism research, and (2) determining the forms that it is taking in eight European countries and the United States. First, participatory journalism is considered in the context of the historical evolution of public communication. A methodologica…
Interactivity in the daily routines of online newsrooms
This article analyzes interactivity in online journalism as a powerful myth with which journalists have to deal in their daily work. A constructivist approach to media innovation is used to explore the historical origins of the myth that predicted interactivity would change journalism and to confront it with the actual practices of online media projects through published empirical research and four case studies selected from an average European r…
Innovation processes in online newsrooms as actor-networks and communities of practice
This article explores two different but complementary theoretical approaches to frame innovation in online media: actor-network theory and community of practice.The principles and key concepts of each are presented and their suitability to the analysis of innovation in journalism is discussed through four newsroom cases.The findings demonstrate that these theories are efficient tools to understand and analyze the actors involved in innovation dec…
Waiting for Data Journalism
Data journalism has emerged as a trend worthy of attention in newsrooms the world over. Previous research has highlighted how elite media, journalism education institutions, and other interest groups take part in the emergence and evolution of data journalism. But has it equally gained momentum in smaller, less-scrutinized media markets? This paper looks at the ascent of data journalism in the French-speaking part of Belgium. It argues that journ…
Weblogs and Journalism
From the perspective of journalism, weblogs can be seen as a new category of news and current affairs communication. Although most weblogs do not even pretend to be journalistic or related to current events in the sense shared by institutional media, when bloggers approach the arena of journalism, some of their working principles can challenge traditional professional standards: Conversation with the audience, transparency in the reporting proces…
Tracing Digital News Networks
Research on the evolution of journalism is still lacking appropriate theoretical tools to (re)conceptualise the blurring boundaries between professional news production in the media industry, the public actively engaged in using, circulating and producing information, and the diversity of social and material actors involved in these processes. This article suggests how actor-network theory (ANT) can contribute to overcome the limitations of exist…

Exploring the Political-Economic Factors of Participatory Journalism
This comparative study of user-generated content (UGC) in 10 Western democracies examines the political economic aspects of citizen participation in online media, as assessed by journalists who work with this content. Drawing on interviews with more than 60 journalists, we explore their perceived economic motivations for an ongoing redefinition of traditional journalistic roles, as UGC becomes an increasingly dominant feature of news websites
Doing It Together
This paper looks at how mainstream media are currently reacting to the trend of citizen media. In order to look beyond the hype and high expectations about user generated content, we first try to put the debate on citizen and participatory journalism in context. We argue that the revived interest in participatory journalism is the result of both external developments in society and internal evolutions in journalism. Next, we analyze these develop…

Public Sphere 2.0? The Democratic Qualities of Citizen Debates in Online Newspapers
Comments in online news could be the contemporary enactment of the eighteenth-century cafés that founded public sphere. This article assesses to what extent do these forms of digital discussion fit in Habermas’ principles for democratic debate, using his discursive ethics as a demanding normative benchmark. The sample of more than 15,000 comments was selected from the online versions of five national newspapers of record from different political …

To wish impossible things
Research into current developments in newsrooms has paid a great deal of attention to convergence projects, focusing on emerging models of newswork and the attitudes of journalists towards change. This study proposes a longitudinal approach to the research of convergence, defined as a process where the outcomes are shaped by aspirations, power relationships and internal communications within a media corporation. The case of a European public broa…

Research that empowers responsibility
Despite the virtues of an emphasis on materiality in Journalism Studies, such an approach risks dis-empowering journalists as agents of change in the evolution of their profession. The principles of actor-network theory offer an opportunity to reconnect studies that are sensitive to the role of technology in the newsroom with the agency of the human actors that use it. By exposing the contingent nature of news practices, researchers can encourage…

Understanding the emergence of digital media
With this volume, Pablo J. Boczkowski plants the roots to approach media production from a perspective that can grasp the changes in the content industry in the Internet era. Building on the tradition of socio-technical change studies, the author traces the factors that shaped the newspaper industry exploration of electronic media in the 1980s (videotext, teletext, audiotext) and explores how three website projects of US newspapers followed sharp…
