“…Respondents were asked a number of questions pertaining to their reference network, methods of learning, and amount and source of training, in addition to multiple situational factors and controls covering the individual and organizational levels. Where appropriate, survey language and response options were adapted from existing survey-based studies, including the works of Hanusch (2019), Tandoc (2015), Tandoc and Ferrucci (2017), and Vu (2014).…”

Audience analytics and metrics are ubiquitous in today’s media environment. However, little is known about how creative media workers come to understand the social norms related to those technologies. Drawing on social influence theory, this study examines formal and informal socialization mechanisms in U.S. newsrooms. It finds that editorial newsworkers express receiving a moderate amount of training on the use of analytics and metrics, which is typically provided by their organization; primarily look to people within the organization, and especially superiors, to understand the social norms; learn about those norms mostly through observation and communication about others’ experiences with the technology rather than their own; and that experiences are influenced by the organizational context and the individual’s position in the editorial hierarchy. This leads to a broader intervention to our understanding of the social structures and individual dispositions that influence how emerging technologies are experienced across organizational and institutional environments.

“…Journalists have adopted social media into their work routines (Singer, 2015) but perceive those who produce on social media platforms (SMPs) as non-journalists (Ferrucci and Vos, 2016). Journalism scholarship itself has reinforced the legitimacy of political journalism, while neglecting softer forms (Hanusch, 2019). This opposition is arguably driven by 'gendered' and 'ethnic assumptions' visible in public-private and rationality-emotionality dichotomies (Costera Meijer, 2001).…”

While scholarship has studied the boundary discourses of (quasi-)journalistic actors on social network sites, how audiences perceive these boundaries and engage with these interlopers’ work has been examined far less frequently. Drawing on 11 focus groups, this article explores how audiences construct boundaries by examining and comparing their expectations of content creators on Instagram, YouTube and blogs, with traditional journalism and journalists. Findings show audiences expect journalists to embody established, normative journalistic values, largely excluding content creators from this field. Audiences’ expectations of content creators reveal a more nuanced picture, which includes expectations of authenticity and transparency, engagement, and quality, slow content. Interpreted against broader debates in journalism, we argue that they reveal implicitly journalistic values and expectations, thus blurring normative boundary distinctions. Furthermore, audiences feel an increase in market orientation among both journalists and content creators leads to lower connection and perceptions of credibility, thus further disrupting boundaries.

“…First of all, journalism scholars (as well as journalists) have used and continue to use different terminologies for this type of journalism. Some use the inclusive term "lifestyle journalism" (e.g., Fürsich, 2012;Hanusch, 2012Hanusch, , 2017, others the more exclusive term "arts journalism" (e.g., Chong, 2017;Harries & Wahl-Jorgensen, 2007;Sarrimo, 2017), while still others focus on particular cultural sub-beats, such as music journalism, food journalism, and fashion journalism (e.g., Bradford, 2014;Turner & Organge, 2013). This lack of terminological consensus has made cultural journalism a less demarcated research area.…”

Cultural journalism—Journalism about culture

This article is an introduction to “cultural journalism,” a specialised type of professional journalism that covers and debates the broad field of arts and culture. The article points to some of the research traditions that have engaged with the news media's coverage of arts and culture and inspired contemporary cultural journalism research, among them cultural sociology and the sociology of journalism. Furthermore, the article outlines the institutional roles and epistemology of cultural journalism, which in several respects differ from dominating normative conceptions of Western journalism. At the same time, the article shows that contemporary journalism shares many similarities with the approaches found in culural journalism, such as interpretation, emotionality, and subjectivity. Finally, the article points to important future paths for cultural journalism research, including comparative perspectives and the political dimensions and potentialities of cultural journalism.
