“…Integrating the observations from our case study with a growing body of literature on changing journalism inspired by Bauman’s idea (e.g. Hua & Tsang, 2011; Jaakkola, Hellman, Koljonen, & Väliverronen, 2015; Rublescki & Silva, 2012; Widholm, 2016), we may describe “liquid journalism” in the following senses.…”

How is journalism practiced in the social media era? What are the values and significance of journalistic professionalism in the changed situation? This article addresses these issues through a case study. It takes The Paper, an online news outlet in Shanghai, as a case and analyzes its coverage of the capsizing accident of the cruise, The Oriental Star, on Yangtze River in June 2015. This case shows that news production in the social media era is taking the form of dynamic interactions that involve both professional journalists and the public; media organizations are no longer the primary authoritative interpreter of news events; the values and significance of news are constantly reconstructed with public’s participation; the accelerated pace of news production and circulation subverts the institutionalized news production procedures and routines; and there is an intense tension between journalists who value professional control and the general public who cherish instant participation. Drawing inspiration from Bauman’s work, the authors strive to not only characterize the changes in journalism as “liquid journalism” but also explore the contemporary significance of the ideas and discursive practices of journalistic professionalism.

This study examines the transformation of photojournalistic identity within the framework of Zygmunt Bauman's liquid modernity approach. Liquid modernity, characterized by constant change and uncertainty, profoundly affects the journalistic institution. In the study, the concept of "liquid journalism", adapted by Mark Deuze from Bauman's “liquid modernity” approach, is conceptualized as "liquid photojournalism". In this context, the study digs into the forces that cause journalism to face uncertainty. Along with the transition to the new media, the study discusses how the collapse of the traditional business model affects photojournalistic labor. It also approaches how the freelance model -a reflection of the individualization of working life- affects the photojournalistic identity. In the study, using phenomenology, one of the qualitative research designs, it is concluded that the photojournalistic identity undergoes a radical transformation because of the transition from traditional media to digital media. According to the findings, the economic consequences of digitalization have led to the externalization of photojournalistic labor. The freelance model causes the individualization of photojournalism work as part of the precariat work model. However, technological convergence has radically changed working practices and blurred the boundaries of professional identity. As a result, the photojournalistic identity has become ambiguous.
