“…Regarding the relevance of science coverage within both media systems, we look at the number of journalists active in the field, the amount and tone of media coverage devoted to science and the share of audience. The "Worlds of Journalism" project (Hanusch & Hanitzsch, 2017) shows that about four percent of journalists in both countries work for science and education desks in their media (Dingerkus, Keel & Wyss, personal information;Steindl, Lauerer, & Hanitzsch, 2017). Looking at the attention general media grant to science topics, we find for both countries that, e.g., public broadcasters allocate between three and six percent of their total airtime to "culture and science" (fög, 2017;Reitze, 2016).…”

Citizens' attitudes toward science are related to their use of science-related information from various sources. Evidence is scarce regarding citizens' individual media repertoires for staying informed about science as segmentation studies so far have primarily focused on scientific attitudes. In this paper, we explore audience segments regarding their science-related information behavior and whether such segments are comparable or vary between two countries with similar information environments. Based on two surveys in Switzerland and Germany, we identify national audience segments that differ in their sciencerelated information repertoires, and analyze their sociodemographic characteristics and science-related attitudes. In both countries, we find very comparable information user segments ranging from those who inform themselves frequently about science ("Active Seekers"/"Science Consumers") to those who hardly get in contact with any information about science and research ("Non-Users"). Those segments which get in contact with information about science frequently show generally more positive attitudes.

“…The analysis is based on the results of the survey conducted among journalists from all over the country that examined aspects related to their work and the perception they have of their practices, a central aspect when defining the journalism models that guide them (Hanusch & Hanitzsch, 2017;Weaver & Willnat, 2012). The data comes from processing the results obtained in Argentina within the framework of the WJS.…”

The professional practices of Argentine journalists reveal the multiplicity of factors that impact journalistic culture. The results of the national study for the global project Worlds of Journalism offers evidence that the type of media organization in which journalists work does not generate different working conditions or respond to alternative professional models. The results reinforce the approach that the professional culture is the result of the interaction between personal values and the guidelines of organizations and companies. In this sense, the study of the professional culture of journalism needs to be approached from a multidimensional perspective that includes the study of legal frameworks, trade union protection, organizational guidelines and accepted ethical parameters.As práticas profissionais dos jornalistas argentinos mostram a diversidade de fatores que impactam na cultura jornalística. Os dados nacionais da pesquisa como parte do projeto global Worlds of Journalism apresentam evidências de que meios distintos não oferecem condições de trabalho diferentes nem modelos profissionais alternativos para os seus jornalistas. Os resultados revelam ainda que a cultura profissional depende da interação entre valores pessoais e das pautas de organizações e empresas. Nesse sentido, o artigo se propõe a abordar o estudo de cultura jornalística com base em uma perspectiva multidimensional que analise os marcos legais, a proteção sindical, as pautas organizacionais e os códigos de ética profissional.Las prácticas profesionales de los periodistas argentinos dan cuenta de la multiplicidad de factores que impactan en la cultura periodística.

“…Disseminating information, interpreting events and confronting societal powers have been observed to be the most typical roles journalists identify with worldwide (e.g., Carpenter, Boehmer, & Fico, 2015;Tandoc, Hellmueller, & Vos, 2013). Nevertheless, notable variations exist between countries concerning the emphasis journalists put on different roles (e.g., Hanitzsch, 2011;Hanusch & Hanitzsch, 2017).…”

Journalistic role conceptions are usually understood as internalised professional conventions about the tasks reporters pursue in society. This study insists that more attention be put on the relational and context-dependent nature of journalistic role conceptions. Adopting a social-interactionist approach to journalistic roles, the study examines how Finnish journalists conceived of their professional roles when covering asylum issues during the so-called "refugee crisis" of 2015-2016. Based on an analysis of open-ended, semi-structured interviews with 24 journalists, we highlight how considerations of the political context and interactions with three key reference groups-officials, asylum seekers and anti-immigrant publicsshaped the journalists' conceptions of their tasks and duties. The article contributes to the study of journalistic role conceptions by illustrating how the conceptualisation of journalistic roles in relation to reference groups takes place in practice. It also sheds light on the tensions involved in journalistic balancing and negotiation between various available role conceptions, especially in the shifting societal and political contexts of a Europe marked by multiculturalism and the simultaneous rise of anti-immigrant movements.
