“…Understanding of the journalistic routines, conventions, rules, procedures and practices is crucial for everyday journalistic work (e.g. Fulton and McIntyre, 2013; Malmelin and Virta, 2016b). Routine media work and content production are also steered by a shared understanding within the editorial team about the media brand and the product concept (Chan-Olmsted, 2011; Malmelin and Moisander, 2014).…”

“…In general, there is no sound research tradition that addresses creativity in the media industry (see Küng, 2008; Mierzejewska, 2011; Mierzjewska and Hollifield, 2006). Creative work in media organizations has attracted some research attention, for instance, from the viewpoints of journalism, news work and media work (Banks et al, 2002; Berglez, 2011; Fulton and McIntyre, 2013; Hesmondhalgh and Baker, 2011; Malmelin and Nivari-Lindström, 2017; Malmelin and Virta, 2016a; Nylund, 2013; Storsul and Krumsvik, 2013). The role of creativity in the media industry has also been studied in the context of collaboration.…”

This article discusses the phenomenon of serendipity in media work and in media organizations. Based on an empirical analysis of diary material, we identify and elaborate three types of serendipitous processes in creative work, that is, serendipitous, semi-serendipitous and antiserendipitous processes. In addition, we discuss the role of lucky incidents and human capabilities in serendipity, and consider their value to creative processes in media organizations. We argue that conceptual frameworks and theories of serendipity are useful in identifying, evaluating and harnessing unpredicted and accidental creative incidents and processes. The article shows that serendipity offers valuable conceptualizations and insights for scholars and practitioners alike in the context of the rapidly changing media industry and media work.

“…Fabrication attempts and presenting presumptions as factual have been clearly stopped. Creativity was welcomed only in the documentation process on the way to obtaining relevant data (Fulton & McIntyre, 2013). Students had to prove them ingenious and creative to actualize professional communication products, the educational system role is also one of stimulating and proposing such activities, facilitating a better integration in the workforce market (Allen et al, 2013).…”

This study is structured on two levels, because it aims for two combined goals. On the first level we find the scientific description and significance of an educational activity, since the students have been instructed to collect information and to redact a communication product as similar as possible to a journalistic investigation. The theme was the following: how much do beggars in Timisoara earn. On the same axis, students were encouraged to use their own electronic equipment (digital mobile phones, tablets, laptops, video recorders). On the second level we find the selection of relevant information about the beggars' situation in Timisoara, about their incomes and also about their specific and individual situation. Special attention was given to the communication texts used by the beggars to interact with potential donors, thus fulfilling various objectives: 1) students had the opportunity to act as real professional journalists and to produce communication products publishable by any respectable editorial; 2) a practical didactic activity with results rating much higher than the ones currently being lectured; 3) a closely real image of begging activities in Timisoara, accomplished with diverse but convergent approaches.
