“…This affects citizens not employed in the industry as much as those who are. How such tensions play out in an era of AI and algorithms is already a key part of the research agenda for many scholars of digital journalism (among them, Diakopoulos 2019a, 2019b; Klinger and Svensson 2018;Møller 2022;Petre 2021;Sehat 2022;Simon 2022), but there is always more to be done when it comes to exploring journalistic agency in the digital era. For example, as Diakopoulos (2019a) argues, one way in which news organizations could assert editorial independence from corporate interests is by developing specifically journalistic algorithms that consider ethical and public interest issues such as diversity, transparency and accuracy alongside commercial considerations.…”

The Struggle for News Value in the Digital Era

News has long been a contested concept but in the digital era it has become increasingly fractured and multidimensional. This discursive article explores some of the ways in which the news has been disrupted by technological and economic tensions and argues that the social value of news is worth articulating and, where necessary, struggling for. News values have never been universal or unproblematic, and the tension between commercial and social ways of valuing news is intensified today. News values are not fixed and must be open to critique as to how they are meeting citizens’ needs. Societally useful news may be at risk of being marginalized as news organizations struggle to survive, but it is not inevitable that disruption and digitization should undermine journalistic ethics and the social value of news. In arguing that scholars ought to approach news more holistically, to defend it as well as critique it, the article attempts to synthesize what typically appear as discrete approaches to studying news. The article concludes that, if the social value of news is not to suffer further diminution, there is a need to view news through a lens of struggle; a struggle in which journalists, audiences, scholars and, indeed, all citizens have a part to play.

“…This encompasses a comprehensive repertoire of techniques, including the adept utilization of direct quotations, skillful paraphrasing, and the diligent citation of references (Scherr et al, 2017;Schmidt & Lawrence, 2020). These practices, integral to the foundational fabric of journalistic pedagogy, wield a dual purpose: they confer an enhanced aura of credibility upon the narrative composition and, concurrently, engender a palpable sense of trust within the readership (Sehat, 2022;Sirén-Heikel et al, 2023). The essential crux underpinning this instructional emphasis is the recognition that the strategic deployment of these attribution techniques significantly bolsters the veracity and authenticity of the journalistic discourse.…”

“…The insights advanced by Huang (2013) further illuminate this trajectory of growth and refinement. The scholarly discourse emphasizes the pivotal role of deliberate practice, constructive feedback, and a perpetual dedication to continual learning as indispensable constituents in the pursuit of honing one's craft within the journalistic spectrum (Schmidt & Lawrence, 2020;Sehat, 2022). This perspective underscores the iterative nature of journalistic mastery, foregrounding the significance of consistent effort and receptiveness to constructive critique as pivotal catalysts in the process of skill refinement.…”

Journalistic knowledge serves as a robust underpinning upon which learners can refine and enhance their writing abilities, specifically in the domain of news composition. The multifaceted landscape of journalism incorporates a medley of elements that collectively contribute to the cultivation of effective writing skills. The mastery of these facets plays a pivotal role in augmenting students' proficiency in articulating their ideas cogently, engaging their audience adeptly, and ensuring the meticulous conveyance of information. Against this backdrop, the present study endeavors to explore the substantive role played by journalistic knowledge in improving students' skills in writing news. To attain the research aim, the researchers applied a correlational study to find out the correlation between journalistic knowledge and students’ skills in writing news. The participants of the study consisted of 51 students of Indonesian language and literary education at the University of PGRI Semarang. The sample was taken using a simple random sampling technique. The data were collected using tests. Based on the data analysis, there is a correlation between journalistic knowledge and students’ skills in writing news. It means that the components of journalistic knowledge such as understanding the fundamental news values such as timeliness, prominence, proximity, conflict, and human interest, have contributed to helping students in writing news.

The body of health journalism research literature remains scattered across various disciplines and requires comprehensive understanding. This study aims to enhance researchers’ comprehension of the field, by presenting a systematic review of SSCI-indexed articles. Findings reveal two peaks in health journalism research from 1994 to 2023: during the 2009 H1N1 influenza and the COVID-19 outbreak. Using bibliographic coupling analysis, it was possible to define 10 major research themes from the review. They were: How health stories are framed in the news; How audiences engage with health information online; How constructive journalism can improve the news reporting of public health crisis; How fact-checking can improve the news reporting of public health crisis; How health stories are framed from science journalism perspective; Why citizen journalism is significant in health news reporting; How health journalists perceive their journalistic role; Who serves as the news source for health news reporting; How health professionals impact health news reporting; and How peace journalism can be used for health news reporting on vulnerable populations. This research provides insights into the current state of health journalism research and outlines potential areas for further exploration in health journalism, spanning topics such as women and other marginalized communities in health reporting.
