“…Carlson and Usher (2016) revealed how audiences may well be addressed as more equal (as "you"), but instead of as potential partners in producing information they tend to be seen as commercial targets whose "user experience" should be improved (Carlson and Usher 2016: 573). Vos and Singer (2016) and Wagemans, Witschge, and Harbers (2019) arrived at a similar conclusion, illustrating that the growing impact of innovation discourse in journalism showed an increased attention for audiences as targets, but not as interlocutors.…”

Paying close attention to news users has become fully integrated in professional journalism. Even though this practice may still meet with resistance, becoming more audience responsive is no longer automatically condemned as the highway to popularization and sensationalism. What has changed in journalism's ecosystem to account for this turnaround? This paper explains how journalists' attitude towards audiences changed from keeping them at a distance to constantly monitoring their movements. It is based on longitudinal participatory observation of key moments (editorial meetings, public debates) in Dutch journalism, as well as on informal talks and formal interviews with more than one hundred journalists and editors during the last twenty years. It traces four tipping points between 1995 and 2020 regarding the audience turn in commercial news and public service journalism: (1) Quality news as "not having to reckon with your audience". (2) Increasing professional awareness of "informed citizenship" as quality journalism's remit; (3) digitalization of journalism; and (4) increasing relevance of "audience engagement". Ann Swidler's concept of "anchoring practice" (2001) will be used as a lens to understand the gradual shift from quality discourse to innovation discourse as anchoring practices in journalism and journalism studies.

“…Going through this convergence process, journalists are expected to develop a sense of entrepreneurialism, suggesting that managerial logics are integrated into professional logics. Against the background of journalisms' revenue model crisis, entrepreneurialism is described to be vital for journalism's survival in a digital age (Vos & Singer, 2016).…”

The negotiation of competing institutional logics is relevant for organisations active in multiinstitutional domains. News organisations are active in the domains of democracy and business, and, through digitisation, they are active in the digital technology domain. This article describes how journalism negotiates competing logics of these domains, i.e. professional, market, managerial, and technology (tech) logics. Analysing n = 744 individual NiemanLab Predictions for Journalism from 2014 to 2019, findings indicate that journalism aggregates and integrates competing logics in a fluid way, keeping synergies across logics and plurality of logics high. The field of journalism is shaped by the competition of four logics: While tech logics induce changes in professional, market, and managerial logics, professional logics remain the dominant moral compass for journalists.

Journalists are among the most frequent users of Twitter, and Twitter has become an important platform for personal branding. Social media logic promotes not only a chase for virality and impressive metrics but also a mix of professional, personal, and private content, as well as sharing, interaction, and dialogue. Focusing one aspect of social media logic, the aim of this study is to analyze how the technological affordances of Twitter shape journalists’ self-branding in their account presentations and whether there are differences between groups of journalists. The study draws on a quantitative content analysis of Swedish journalists’ Twitter presentations and account information (N = 2543). The findings suggest that Swedish journalists on Twitter brand themselves as being more audience oriented, networking, and individualistic, projecting a mixed identity including both professional and personal features, and that social media logic influence journalists’ self-branding.
