“…We can speculate on how to explain differing content in, for example, online versus traditional media, but future research should focus on journalistic processes and differing routines for online and offline journalists. Sometimes it is argued that the lines between online and offline media content are blurry and old journalistic values prevail (O'Sullivan and Heinonen 2008). However, recent work indicates that there are differences in terms of the visual architecture when comparing online news sites and newspapers, and the differences even have effects on readers (Kruikemeier, Boyer, and Lecheler 2016).…”

Towards A Typology of Conflict Frames

Conflict-framing literature has suffered from a lack of consistent conceptualization and consequently the aim of this paper is to unravel the dimensionality of conflict frames. We conducted a content analysis (N = 1536) to develop a typology of conflict news coverage. Using factor analysis, different aspects of conflict news are distinguished with level of substantiveness and interventionism as the main dimensions. Furthermore, the study focuses on the occurrence of these different types of conflict frames in the news and the role of contextual factors. For example, results indicate that articles with conflict frames contain more interventionism and less strategic framing online, more journalistic intervention in quality newspapers and less substantive news in election times when compared to routine periods. The study contributes to the literature by offering a more nuanced view of the presence of different types of conflict news in the media.

“…The first perspective is common and researchers find that traditional values in journalism are resilient (Weinhold 2010), and that technophobia is rare amongst journalists who easily see new tools as useful if they support existing practices (O'Sullivan and Heinonen 2008). The second perspective is observed by researchers who focus on conflicts and friction occurring when technology and new forms of work are introduced in newsrooms (Mitchelstein and Boczkowski 2009;Robinson 2011).…”

This article examines computational journalism as a craft practised in Norwegian newsrooms. Based on in-depth interviews with expert practitioners in six of the largest newsrooms in Norway, we find that computational journalism represents a continuation of traditional (investigative) journalism. While the skills and tools necessary to do this kind of journalism diverge from the typical journalist's, the values and aims align well with tradition. Even though computation enables journalists to cope with the size and scale of journalistically appealing datasets, we find little evidence for computational journalism to increase the efficiency of doing journalism or in any other way rid journalists from low-level technical work.

“…On the one hand, journalists wish to encourage audience participation: they accept audience comments to journalists' stories (Domingo et al, 2008;Jönsson and Örnebring, 2011;Örnebring, 2008) and embrace audience material when it yields extra (source) material that enhances their stories (Harrison, 2010;Robinson, 2010;Singer, 2010). On the other hand, journalists adhere to their traditional gatekeeping role (Chung, 2007;Domingo et al, 2008;Karlsson, 2011;Singer, 2010) and discard audience material when it threatens to overthrow existing routines, practices and values (Harrison, 2010;O'Sullivan and Heinonen, 2008;Quandt, 2008;Wardle and Williams, 2010;Williams et al, 2010). In other words, existing research demonstrates that journalists want to remain in 'control' over the journalistic process and its output.…”

Expecting reciprocity: Towards a model of the participants’ perspective on participatory journalism

This study examines 'participatory journalism' from the perspective of participants. Through a series of in-depth interviews with 32 participants from two different participatory journalistic environments set up by professional news organizations, we investigated how participants view and evaluate their participation in journalism. We propose that participants views progress through a series of four stages: anticipation, participation, evaluation and reconsideration. A clear breach is observed between the stage of anticipation and evaluation. We propose that this breach could be couched in terms of both a need and a wish for reciprocity, but also a lack of it. The term 'reciprocity' is inspired by Lewis et al.'s notion of 'reciprocal journalism' and Loosen and Schmidt's conceptualization of journalism as a 'social system'. Implications for the study of participatory journalism and journalism practitioners are discussed.
