“…One area of journalism research that could benefit substantially from mixed methods inquiry is journalistic role performance (Singer, 2017). So far, research on journalistic roles has been overwhelmingly monomethod (see Carpenter et al, 2016;Tandoc, 2014;Tandoc & Takahashi, 2013), with few exceptions (see, e.g., Ryfe, 2012;. Since content analytic approaches are appropriate for understanding the manifestation of journalistic roles in news content (Hanitzsch & Vos, 2017), many scholars employ text-based analyses to study practiced roles.…”

“…In their study, they found that children whose family members worked at a specific organization were exposed to that organization's values and beliefs from a young age -making them ideal recruits for employment as they came of age. Although this may also be applicable to journalistic organizations, on a broader level this "osmosis" can occur over time as youth and young adults develop as news consumers -becoming cognizant of how news covers certain events and why the coverage looks the way it does -and through anticipatory socialization in journalism schools (Tandoc, 2014).…”

“…In order to identify journalistic roles, the researcher conducted an exploratory factor analysis of the roles items. Previous quantitative studies that analyze journalistic roles assess role items individually (Weaver & Wilhoit, 1986; or cluster items into a typology of journalistic roles and study particular segments of journalism (Tandoc, 2014); however, little is known about how political journalists interpret the roles important to their work.…”

Research into journalistic roles has received world-wide attention. What tends to be underrepresented in these studies are the challenges that journalists must overcome in fulfilling their idealized roles. Therefore, this study uses a theoretical framework that accounts for influences to news production, sensemaking, and emotionality to explore how U.S. political journalists make sense of role strain. By employing a mixed methods design, this study is able to provide both generalizable findings and rich description that supports and expands on quantitative findings. Findings from the survey reveal that political journalists view an informational role as most important to their work, followed by a monitorial role. They also perceive time and money restriction as the biggest limitation to their job. Follow-up interviews with survey participants illustrate that as journalists make sense of challenges to their ideal roles, they interpret each situation by foregrounding their identity as a journalist. Based on their intepretations, they assimilate, reaffirm their ideal roles, or alter their role through a role negotiation process. Additionally, journalists try to proactively and reactively manage affiliated emotions. Findings contribute to understandings of the discursive construction of roles by examining the journalists' sensemaking process surrounding role strain. This study begins to bridge the gap between ideal roles and practice by providing an exploratory examination into the role enactment process.

Intuitions and Instincts: Considerations for Decoding Disciplinary Identities

Interviews of teachers seeking to help students overcome learning bottlenecks are the first steps in a process of Decoding the Disciplines (Pace and Middendorf 2004) pioneered in the History Department at Indiana University. The aim of a Decoding interview is to build precise understanding of the bottleneck in question and to identify the operations or steps experts would take and students must master to get through the bottleneck. Teachers then determine how, as experts, to model the operations or steps for their students, how to provide effective opportunities for students to practice and receive helpful feedback on the operations or steps, how to assess student progress, and how to share results with other teachers in the program or discipline. The steps needed to get through the bottleneck may be identified in a Decoding interview by inquiring of the teacher interviewee what steps she took in overcoming the difficulty when she was a learner or apprentice herself, or by asking her what an expert would do to overcome the difficulty, or both (Diaz, Middendorf, Pace, and Shopkow 2008).Decoding the Disciplines interviews conducted with faculty members at Mount Royal University (described in Miller-Young and Boman, this issue) bumped up against not only the interviewees' professional identities as teachers, always by definition in play in the interviews, but specifically their disciplinary professional identities as, say, nurses or journalists.Interviewers in these situations (including the present author) did not pursue discussion of disciplinary professional identities as such in much depth or breadth. We might have done, though, because unpacking the ways and means by which disciplinary professional identities are
