“…There is also no objective way of authenticating the veracity or validity of cultural journalists' or reviewers' opinions ( van Rees, 1989). In this context, it is not surprising that the professionalization of cultural journalism is still underway (Jaakkola, 2014).…”

“…Recently, there have been debates on an alleged crisis of cultural journalism, and there is consensus that significant changes have taken place in the field of cultural journalism. Jaakkola's (2014) analysis based on Scandinavian academic research and public debates yields five frames for the crisis: elitization, popularization, commercialization, journalistification and professional apathy, all of them perceived threats to the artistic and professional autonomy of cultural journalism. Elitization refers to a view in which cultural journalism caters mainly for cultural elites, consolidating existing cultural hierarchies and giving excessive dominance to the aesthetic paradigm.…”

“…Besides changes in professional values and working practices, the status of culture departments has been transformed: relatively autonomous arts sections in the 2000s tied into more structured and centrally led newspaper routines (Jaakkola et al, 2015). From an organizational perspective, cultural departments are now located closer to other departments and encouraged to produce more news content; reviews are more frequently outsourced to freelancers (Jaakkola, 2014).…”

Key debates of contemporary cultural sociology -the rise of the 'cultural omnivore', the fate of classical 'highbrow' culture, the popularization, commercialization and globalization of culture -deal with temporal changes. Yet, systematic research about these processes is scarce due to the lack of suitable longitudinal data. This book explores these questions through the lens of a crucial institution of cultural mediation -the culture sections in quality European newspapersfrom 1960 to 2010.Starting from the framework of cultural stratification and employing systematic content analysis both quantitative and qualitative of more than 13,000 newspaper articles, Enter Culture, Exit Arts? presents a synthetic yet empirically rich and detailed account of cultural transformation in Europe over the last five decades. It shows how classifications and hierarchies of culture have changed in course of the process towards increased cultural heterogeneity. Furthermore, it conceptualizes the key trends of rising popular culture and declining highbrow arts as two simultaneous processes: the one of legitimization of popular culture and the other of popularization of traditional legitimate culture, both important for the loosening of the boundary between 'highbrow' and 'popular'.Through careful comparative analysis and illustrative snapshots into the specific socio-historical contexts in which the newspapers and their representations of culture are embedded -in Finland, France, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the UK -the book reveals the key patterns and diversity of European variations in the transformation of cultural hierarchies since the 1960s. The book is a collective endeavour of a large-scale international research project active between 2013 and 2018. Semi Purhonen is Associate Professor of Sociology at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Tampere, Finland. Between 2013 and 2018, he worked as academy research fellow at the Academy of Finland and was the Director of the research project 'Cultural Distinctions, Generations and Change', which lays the ground for the present book. His research interests are in the fields of cultural sociology, consumption, lifestyles and social stratification; sociology of age, generation and social change; and comparative research and sociological theory. Riie Heikkilä is a postdoctoral researcher at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Tampere, Finland. Her main research interests include cultural capital, cultural consumption and social stratification, and comparative sociology in general. Her research project 'Understanding Cultural Disengagement in Contemporary Finland' has funding from the Academy of Finland until 2020. Irmak Karademir Hazır is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the Department of Social Sciences, Oxford Brookes University, UK. Her research focuses on topics such as taste, socio-cultural change, Bourdiesian analysis of Turkish consumption scene and embodiment. She has worked as a board member of the European Sociological Association, Consumption Research Ne...

“…Kulttuurijournalismin on tutkimuksissa havaittu siirtyneen taidelähtöisestä lukijalähtöiseen lähestymistapaan, ja se on ilmennyt sekä sisältöjen popularisoitumisena että aiempaa laajemman juttutyyppikirjon käyttönä kulttuurisivuilla (Hellman & Jaakkola 2009;Jaakkola 2015a;Janssen 1999;Kristensen 2010;Kristensen & Riegert 2017;Larsen 2008;Purhonen ym. 2019;Ruohonen 2018;Verboord & Janssen 2015).…”

Tabloidisaatiohypoteesiksi kutsutun oletuksen mukaan tabloidiformaattiin siirtyminen tiivistää lehteä sekä tuo muutoksia journalismin muoto- ja keinovalikoimaan lyhentämällä tekstejä, lisäämällä kuvien käyttöä ja keventämällä lehden sisältöjä. Artikkelissa verrataan sisällönanalyysin avulla Helsingin Sanomien kulttuurijournalismin sisällöllisiä painotuksia sekä erityisesti kirjallisuusjournalismin muotoja ja puhuttelutapoja syksyllä 2011 ja syksyllä 2016, ennen ja jälkeen tammikuussa 2013 tapahtuneen tabloidisiirtymän. Määrällinen analyysi osoittaa, että tabloidisaatio ei toteudu suoraviivaisesti, vaan se voi johtaa keskenään ristiriitaisiin ja tabloidisaatiohypoteesin kannalta osin odottamattomiin seurauksiin. Vaikka lehti uudistuksen myötä tiivistyi ja juttujen määrä väheni, vastoin odotuksia kulttuurisivujen palstatila kasvoi, jutut pidentyivät ja niiden palastelu väheni. Pienempi koko suosi feature- ja henkilölähtöistä journalismia ja lisääntynyttä kuvien käyttöä, mutta odotusten vastaisesti myös arvostelujen suhteellinen asema hienokseltaan vahvistui.
