“…That said, previous research has also found that individual journalists tend to be more disposed towards adopting new modes of practice than their employing media organizations (e.g. Bloom, Cleary, and North 2015;Canter 2013). These findings arguably lead to the conclusion that it is vital to understand the contextual factors that shape the role of technology in journalistic practices.…”

Based on a survey (N = 1613) directed to members of the Norwegian Journalist Association (NJ), this paper presents an extensive overview of the ways in which comparably older and newer online platforms have been incorporated into the professional lives of Norwegian journalists. While plenty of research is available that explores the uses of Twitter by journalists, the results presented here suggest that Facebook is by far the most frequently used platform throughout the journalistic process-from collecting information, distributing content and engaging with readers. Statistical analyses provide further insights into which variables appear to influence certain modes of usage across the studied platforms. Based on the results, the argument is made that the advantages of using Facebook as a platform for journalistic practices are obvious due to its popularity among the general public, but that this utilization of one platform over others also could be problematic. As Facebook continues to gain leverage towards the newspapers they host, questions of journalistic practices need to come to the fore.

“…This is a strategy that dominated the initial phase of social media adoption (Hermida, 2013) but still seems to prevail in many cases for the purpose of directing traffic to the news outlet's own website (Lasorsa et al, 2012;Malik & Pfeffer, 2016). The predominance of the broadcast model and the lack of interactivity with audiences have also been highlighted by several studies looking at newspapers and national, regional and local television news organizations (Armstrong & Gao, 2010), local television (Greer & Ferguson, 2011), news agencies (Bloom et al, 2016), and global media organizations (Malik & Pfeffer, 2016). In short, the use of social media as an additional news distribution platform in accordance with a one-way communication model seems to be prevalent.…”

The article investigates media organizations’ strategies to adapt to the new media ecology in which Twitter is renewing traditional news-production routines. Two main strategies are identified: a traditional approach aimed at one-way news dissemination, and a journalistic model that recasts the relationship with the audience and uses Twitter as a community building tool. It has been assumed that media outlets’ endeavours to gain centrality in the information system are associated with their ability in using the appropriate communication tools of Twitter and the implementation of strategies based on interaction with users. Based on a comparative analysis of Twitter uses by newspapers in 31 countries, the study shows that the ability to manage the structural elements of the platform is widespread among media organizations. Concurrently, the relational strategy, i.e. the investment in community-building, although less widespread, is present in many countries and leads to an increase level of user involvement.

Recently, industrial and academic communities in the operations and supply chain management (OSCM) field are paying increasing attention to social media. However, the value of social media in OSCM is quite unclear, and more investigations are still needed. To pave the way for a directed future research, this paper systematically reviewed and synthesised 152 peer-review journal papers to identify research focus and gaps in this area, supported by an appropriate conceptual framework. The result reveals that the research interests in this area have increased dramatically within the last decade across various industries and regions. Different companies' OSCM activities, such as sourcing and delivery, can benefit from employment of social media. This paper also indicates that future research can explore the value of social media in sourcing, delivery, product return and reverse logistics activities, forecasting and inventory management, and product development and production.
