“…Third, a chat with blogger Andrea Adelson allowed her to acknowledge two factual mistakes in her reporting. Given that nowadays credibility is constructed between journalists and audiences (Vultee 2010), this cultivation of a two-way conversation about standards and quality of sports content should be assessed very positively.…”

“…In these studies, a journalistic code of ethics is sometimes seen as being necessary in order to secure the credibility of the medium. At other times, credibility is just more or less assumed to be part of the journalistic craft and moral framework of journalism, and can as such not be written down as part of a journalistic code of ethics (Vultree 2010). In Scandinavia, common ethical guidelines for journalists are linked both to journalism as a profession and to the institutionalization of the news media as a political institution (Allern 2001).…”

Credibility and the Media as a Political Institution

Credibility is frequently represented as both an ideal goal for journalism as a profession and as an integral part of the news industry’s survival strategy. Yet there is no widely accepted operationalization of the concept of credibility. In the current article, we present the results of a study of credibility in Danish news media. Credibility is defined at an institutional level by two dimensions: A) the accuracy and reliability of the news stories featured in leading Danish news media, and B) journalists’ knowledge and understanding of the Danish code of press ethics. The results show that sources only find objective errors in 14.1% of the news stories, which is a lower figure than most other studies report. The results also show that Danish journalists find bad press ethics to be an increasing problem and attribute this problem to increased pressure in the newsroom.

“…Contemporary studies applying strategic ritual describe journalists devising elaborate practices to inoculate reporting, such as boundary work (Frank, 2003), paradigm repair (Cecil, 2002), and factism (Vultee, 2010). These adaptations, however, fail to capture the aggressive response to Churchill, as we show later.…”

Social drama in the academic-media nexus: Journalism’s strategic response to deviant ideas

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article applies 'social drama' -adapted from the anthropology of Victor Turner -to portray a performance of media ritual in control of critical academic discourse. Insights from newspaper coverage of a controversy surrounding Ward Churchill allow us to trace theoretical connections between strategic ritual at the occupational level and media ritual in cultural practice. We observe a fractal-like structure, such that ritualistic punishment of deviant ideas as a cultural response is encoded in textual production. We discuss implications of social drama as media ritual for the prowess of US journalism in patrolling boundaries of acceptable ideas in the academic-media nexus.
