Conclusion
HOW DO JOURNALISTS KNOW what they know? Who gets to decide what good journalism is and when it’s done right? What kind of experts are journalists, and what role should (and do) they play in society?Until a couple decades ago, these questions were rarely asked by journalists. The assumption by most journalists about how good journalism was defined and who was credible and vital to society remained generally undisputed. When journalists were asked …
Startup Life
Chapter 5 shifts the terrain to a prominent women-led journalism startup in an innovation context that has prioritized technological change over social structures and transformation. Science and technology studies frameworks for thinking about repair are necessary to explain how this commercial startup is not just innovating for the sake of saving journalism but to improve journalism as a tool for intervention and responsibility—to “move the need…

Battling for the Story
Social media has shifted the terrain for journalism, and offers platforms for counter-narratives, alternative views, and broader expertise. In Chapter 2, we focus on the social media response in three specific cases: (1) two separate trials for the murders of two Indigenous youth, Colten Boushie and Tina Fontaine, in central Canada, in which the two white men accused in their homicides were acquitted within a month of each other in early 2018; (2…

“Speculative” Memoir Fragments and Existential Dilemmas
In Chapter 3, we turn the tables from audiences back to journalists to examine how journalists are narrating their own professional identity through real-time “speculative” memoir fragments. This chapter explores how American and Canadian journalists are struggling with their own personal reckoning and existential crises with respect to issues of truth, subjectivity, and power and how to narrate oneself in a global journalism landscape with multi…
Reckoning with the “View From Nowhere”
Chapter 1 lays the conceptual groundwork for the book, bridging histories of journalism and science with particular attention to journalistic stance, objectivity, and representational critique. We start with why and how the tarnished ideal of objectivity—the view from nowhere—is still doing so much work, heavy lifting, and harm. We contend that journalism studies as a field has failed to address questions of power and decades of persistent critic…
Indigenous Journalisms
Chapter 6 draws on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with Indigenous journalists in Canada and the United States who have been addressing colonialism, race, and gender in their journalism all along. Indigenous journalists articulate the challenges of working in and among mainstream media that has largely erased and misrepresented Indigenous voices, communities, and concerns on a range of issues. They undertake a differentiated set of approach…
Dominant Crisis Narratives and Changing Infrastructures
In Chapter 4, we examine efforts to address reckoning at one of Canada’s most respected legacy journalism organizations: the Toronto Star. Methodologically, we draw on a number of sets of data: public and policy discourse about the journalism crisis in Canada, recent events related to race and gender at the Star, and ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with Star journalists regarding the development of data journalism. Our analysis generates qu…
The Twelve-Year Warning
The frames that get put around “the climate crisis” (whether as imminent disaster or explanation for ongoing disasters) reflect how human relations and histories have been and are configured—and what (and who) is constituted as relevant, expert, and newsworthy in efforts to address such a crisis. The dominant ways of talking about and reporting on climate change rely on assumptions that don’t take into account colonial histories and varied framew…
Reckoning
The book is about how journalists know what they know, who gets to decide what good journalism is, and how we know when it’s done right. Until a couple decades ago, these questions were rarely asked by journalists. When journalists were questioned by malcontented publics and critics about how they were doing journalism, these questions were easily ignored. Now, if you’re on social media, you’re likely to see multiple critiques of journalism on a …
When gender, colonialism, and technology matter in a journalism startup
This article is based on an ethnographic study of a women-led journalism startup, identified as a digital and data innovator in North America. Studies of journalism startups have generally focused on growth in the startup space and claims to technological innovation, finding a persistence of traditional norms and practices. Feminist media scholars have not tended to engage in this area of study, focusing more on newsroom sociology and media repre…
How Climate Change Comes to Matter
I am deeply grateful to the many individuals who gave of their time and energy in interviews, e-mails, and at the events and conferences I attended as part of research.In bringing together so many groups, my hope is that this book accurately reflects the processes by which climate change has come to matter in such varied contexts and that it creates new intersections for future conversations.My enduring thanks goes to Mike Fischer and Joe Dumit w…
Dissent and Resonance
A growing body of research points to how social media, and specifically Twitter, is emerging as a hybrid space where citizens are involved in the flow, framing, and interpretation of news. Our study analyzes 743,365 tweets at the height of the Idle No More movement, from December 2012 to January 2013. Our analysis indicates a significant presence of non-elite and indigenous actors among the most influential voices on Twitter. We argue that #IdleN…
