“…Visual Self-(Re)presentation Goffman (1959) considered self-presentation similar to actors performing roles: they select which information about themselves to disclose. To behave appropriately or expectedly in the context of conventions and norms, individuals select the information strategically (Carpenter et al, 2017). The strategy encompasses suppressing specific personal information and substituting it with other information that is consistent with one's desired image of oneself (Hong et al, 2020).…”

“…Steffan (2020) examined the visual selfpresentation of political candidates in Western countries and concluded that candidates prefer the ideal candidate frame to the populist campaigner frame. Additionally, the literature has investigated the visual representation of ''sharenting,'' or the sharing of one's parenting and children online (Holiday et al, 2022), and the difference in the visual representations on SNSs between employed and freelance journalists (Carpenter et al, 2017).…”

Presenting oneself visually is an essential part of online behaviors on social networking sites (SNSs), and this is also the case for organizational accounts. Examining organizational self-presentation on their SNS accounts can show the key instruments through which organizations communicate online with the public. Thus, taking startups’ Instagram accounts as examples, this study aims to explore what and how organizations present visually on the photos uploaded to their Instagram accounts. The photos were analyzed in terms of their content, texts in photos, and facial and pixel-level characteristics. Photos and accounts were clustered respectively and resulting clusters were compared as well. The results suggest that text and people are the major objects represented in startups’ Instagram photos. The text presented in the photos was mainly about startups’ efforts to realize social values that can benefit communities by aiding people to do something in a timely manner. Two photo clusters were found: one mainly represented people and people-related words and the other mainly presented texts. Two account clusters were also found: one mainly consists of IT companies that presented texts in their photos and the other mainly consists of human-related services that presented people in their photos. This study can contribute to the body of literature by identifying the visual characteristics of organizational SNS photos and expanding self-presentation research to organizational SNS accounts.

“…Article: Cultural journalists on social media Nete Nørgaard Kristensen & Unni From Most studies focus on news journalists and political journalists, while fewer analyse how journalists from specialised beats use social media. 2 Just as employment status (permanent staff /freelance) may infl uence social media use (see, for example, Brems et al, 2016;Carpenter, Kanver & Timmons, 2016), beat specifi c features may aff ect these performances. Based on a sample of Swedish journalists, Hedman and Djerf-Pierre (2017) show that journalists specialised in opinionated journalism (writing editorials, commentaries etc.)…”

This article investigates the use of social media among a particular group of journalists: cultural journalists. Combining research on social media journalism with research on cultural journalism and applying a mix-method approach, the study shows that use of social media is still a fairly random practice in cultural newsrooms. It also shows that cultural journalists use their Twitter and Facebook accounts interchangeably as tools for professional communication in their daily work and for personal communication in their daily lives. In other words, their social media practices blur the boundaries between institutional interests and professional identities, and more private interests and personal identities. While this may be a challenge to most journalists, it resonates well with the professional logics of cultural journalists. They have long practiced their work in a grey-zone between the public and the private, and the objective and subjective. Through their social media practices, they promote the media institution they work for and their own ‘personalised’ professional brand.

“…Thus, we assume the expertise of journalists empirically exists in some observable form as public self-presentation is “always overly behavioral” (Leary & Kowalski, 1990, p. 35). Holton and Molyneux (2017) found that journalists used social media pages “to craft themselves as ‘true journalism experts’” (p. 8), and Carpenter, Kanver, and Timmons (2016) found that the majority of textual information found on journalists’ Facebook pages was mostly professional rather than personal in nature, but approximately 30% of the sampled journalists shared information on both their work and personal lives with audiences. Journalists often disseminate information related to their identities on their individual channels (Hermes, Wihbey, Junco, & Aricak, 2014).…”

“…Likewise, users subscribe to individual channels, such as Facebook pages, because they enjoy receiving information from a notable individual or organization (Bagozzi & Dholakia, 2006). In its essence, social media sites tend to reflect individuals highlighting perceived positive personal and professional attributes about themselves through the sharing of text, pictures, and other props (Carpenter, Kanver, & Timmons, 2016).…”

Journalists’ privileges and the perceived value of their contributions are being affected by the increasing belief that journalistic work is a product that can be produced by anyone. This perspective should prompt questions related to the conceptualization of journalistic expertise and the functions of educational institutions that assert they teach it. This research contributes to scientific knowledge by introducing an alternative scholarly approach toward defining journalistic expertise—a communication perspective. Prestige in the digital landscape is increasingly associated with the ability of communicators to package information conveying their expertise to various publics. We proposed a set of variables to assess expertise: journalism-related degree, previous professional journalism experience, affiliation, journalism awards, specialization, technical skills, journalism skills, and public service through a content analysis of public Facebook fan pages. The results revealed that journalists communicated their expertise by highlighting their affiliation, previous experience, and specialization(s).
