Engaged Journalism and News Work: A Sociotechnical Analysis of Organizational Dynamics and Professional Challenges     

Thomas R. Schmidt  Regina G. Lawrence 《Journalism Practice》2020,14(5):518-536

ABSTRACT

Building upon the sociotechnical perspective presented by Lewis and Westlund (2015, “Actors, Actants, Audiences, and Activities in Cross-media News Work: A Matrix and a Research Agenda.” Digital Journalism 3 (1): 19–37. doi:10.1080/21670811.2014.927986), this study examines organizational dynamics, technological affordances and professional challenges of engaged journalism practices by analyzing how Hearken, one of the most celebrated audience engagement companies, and its tools and services are being implemented in 15 U.S. news organizations. This framework identifies Hearken and organizations like it as important “external actors” providing technological “actants” that are shaping how newsrooms report the news by providing ways for audiences to be brought into producing the news, particularly during the earlier phases of the reporting process. Based on in-depth interviews, we find that nearly every news organization in our sample reports some measure of success by using Hearken for involving audience members throughout the production of news. At the same time, we also identify how this implementation is significantly shaped by organizational imperatives and the models particular organizations create for producing audience-centric news work. Ultimately, this study presents a partial update to the decades-long literature on participatory journalism by suggesting that engaged journalism practices actually create opportunities for meaningful audience involvement.  相似文献   

Engagement with news on Twitter: insights from Australia and Korea     

Robert Ackland  Mathieu O’Neil  Sora Park 《亚洲交流杂志》2019,29(3):235-251

ABSTRACT

This study examines the patterns of news engagement among news consumers with different political affiliation and cultural background. We use computational methods and data from Twitter in a cross-country comparison of engagement with six online news sources in Australia and South Korea. For our analysis, we used a subset of Twitter users who retweeted at least one political story during the period of collection, and for whom we were able to predict political affiliation using correspondence analysis and data on Twitter follower ties to politicians. We find that right-wing Australian retweeters are more intense in their news engagement, compared with their left-wing counterparts, whereas in South Korea it was the opposite. Australian right-wing political retweeters have more diverse information sources, while there was no difference in information diversity between the right and left in South Korea. We discuss how the political situation in South Korea at the time of data collection may have affected our analysis. We emphasise the methodological contributions of our research and its connection to on-going research into the behavioural foundations of ‘filter bubbles’.  相似文献   

智能化时代传统媒介新闻理念的演进与方法创新     

刘坚 《传媒观察》2020,(5):5-11,F0002

在新闻智能化传播的环境下,传统媒介的新闻信息资源理念发生变化,智能算法成为新闻信息资源获取和开发的重要手段。智能化传播的新闻信息价值判断,建构了新闻事实信息-社会数据信息-用户需求信息三位一体的新闻信息价值确认系统,体现了智能化新闻信息价值理念的特殊追求。新闻信息生产流程中人工智能系统与新闻传播者形成特殊的生产关系,新闻信息生产理念强调人机协作与共处,由此产生新闻报道视野和新闻产品形态的变化。智能化的新闻发布机制,促进了新闻信息的多渠道推送和分散化传播,也有力推动了传统媒介新闻信息传播理念的智能化转变。  相似文献   

Reimagining Newsroom Collaboration: How Two European News Nonprofits Are Inviting Citizens In     

Magda Konieczna 《Journalism Practice》2020,14(5):592-607

ABSTRACT

News nonprofits in the U.S. have been proliferating over 15 years as a way of addressing troubles in the business model for news. For these newsrooms, collaboration, with each other and with mainstream news, has emerged as a key way to build readership and attain relevance in a crowded media space. Still, past research has told us that the strong connection to mainstream news has constrained these organizations’ critique of journalism. In Europe, nonprofit news remains nascent and represents a response to declining trust in and engagement with journalism, and rising populism across the continent. Against this very different context, this study examines two players at the forefront of the European news nonprofit movement. It demonstrates the path dependency inherent in the origins of these organizations: In Europe, they are a response to a different societal change, and thus developed rather differently than did their peers in the United States, with a focus on redefining the idea of collaboration and the role of their audiences by seeing citizens as collaborators, both in the creation and in the dissemination of news. By seeing citizens as collaborators, not just readers, they work to empower and build news audiences as well as participants.  相似文献   

舆情评论与新闻报道的话题识别及其主题关联分析     

王曰芬  许杜娟  杨振怡  罗浩 《现代情报》2018,38(6):3-10

[目的/意义]针对同一事件新闻报道与舆情评论既相互依存又偏离的现象，通过话题识别与主题关联分析，探索新闻报道引发的舆情评论在主题内容与时间阶段上的异同，拟为研究以舆情评论表达的舆情事件和以新闻报道表达的社会现实之间的共振与偏离，进而为探究社会舆情传播规律提供参考，为服务政府科学决策提供依据。[方法/过程]以拉斯韦尔（5W）模型、LDA主题模型和Python工具为基础，设计研究思路和流程，从腾讯新闻和知乎平台上抓取新闻报道和评论的数据，经过处理加工过后加以分析挖掘。[结果/结论]研究发现：舆情事件主题会一定程度偏离社会现实主题，衍生出更多隐性主题；舆情事件与社会现实的发展走向较一致；此外，社交媒体相较于新闻媒体所衍生的舆情事件主题更多，而两者反映的社会现实主题类似。  相似文献   

Abandoning Either/Ors in Analyzing Shifts in Humanitarian Reporting     

David Nolan  Stephanie Brookes  Michelle Imison 《Journalism Practice》2020,14(1):17-33

ABSTRACT

The shifting constitution of journalists as humanitarian actors has profound implications for changing forms of journalism practice, as well as for the normative models through which journalists understand and reflect on that practice. In an effort to develop a more empirically-grounded engagement with change, this article explores the interview testimonies of Australian journalists who cover international and humanitarian issues. It argues that frameworks reliant on stark oppositions (between past and present, optimism and pessimism, or moral agency and material structure) are both empirically and practically problematic, and seeks to move beyond these. Engagement with data from semi-structured interviews offers insight into how journalists’ perceptions of and responses to change are shaped by the historical and shifting institutional relations in which they are implicated.  相似文献   

实质损害原则——美国信息隐私保护利益平衡原则   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

潘建珊 《情报科学》2007,25(11):1723-1728

欧盟平衡个人信息隐私权和公共利益的原则是充分利益原则，只有在证明公共利益是充分必要时，才能适当减损个人信息隐私权；美国则更为重视信息自由流动的价值意义，在平衡个人信息隐私权与公共利益的冲突时，采取实质损害原则，保护个人信息隐私免于披露必须证明披露信息对个人造成实质损害或实质损害的威胁。本文在分析我国建设征信体系时所处的背景及所面临的主要矛盾后，建议借鉴美国信息隐私保护的利益平衡观，在个人信用信息的采集和利用方面，采取“宽进严出”的方式。  相似文献   

科技新闻语言模糊化路径探讨     

林志标 《宁波广播电视大学学报》2006,4(1):23-25

科技新闻强调客观清晰报道,模糊化似与此项背。然而,人类的语言具有天然的模糊性,同时,科技新闻报道因为常常涉及受众陌生的领域,为使报道具有更强的可接受性,它又不得不降低语言的精确度,做适当地模糊化处理。但,模糊不是不准确、不正确,只是不精确。通过哪些途径可以对科技新闻语言进行适当模糊化处理以提高其可接受性?模糊化过程应该该遵循怎样的基本原则?本文试就上述问题进行探讨。  相似文献   

解析＂媒介事件＂的内涵   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

刘自雄 《丹东师专学报》2005,7(5):35-39

通过对近年来新闻传播学界使用频率较高的＂媒介事件＂、＂伪事件＂、＂奇观＂和＂新闻策划＂等概念的内涵及其使用进行学理的梳理和辨析,认为这些概念之间具有一定的相通性,可以从两种理论范式的角度来理解：（一）真实事件→媒介化→媒介事件;（二）媒介化的动机→导演事件→媒介化→媒介事件.  相似文献   

新闻故事化趋向的隐患分析     

王继发  夏颖 《商丘职业技术学院学报》2007,6(4):65-66

当前我国新闻报道的故事化趋向已经被业界所认可。但是这种趋向使新闻报道更具人情味、趣味性的同时,也使当前的新闻报道存在失实报道增多、流于浅薄、屏蔽重大社会事件、更易于渗入记者的主观情绪等隐患。  相似文献
