“…Only since the 1960s can the German media system be counted among the democratic corporatist model according to Comparing Media Systems by Hallin and Mancini (2004). While defending their models and their criteria, the authors had to admit that the multiple changes in the global media environments must be considered when researching media systems nowadays (Hallin, 2020; Hallin and Mancini, 2017; Mancini, 2020). According to Brüggemann and colleagues (2014, see also Humprecht et al, 2022), Germany can be considered as prototypical for the central cluster within the democratic corporatist model, which was formed after empirically revisiting the framework of Hallin and Mancini.…”

In times of crisis, journalism’s own history needs to be reflected upon, both from within and from outside the newsroom. This paper attempts both. From a scientific perspective, we examined the process of the digitalization of journalism and then asked journalists from different generations to reflect on this process. Based on data gathered from these semi-structured interviews with German journalists, our paper presents their evaluation on the evolution from analog to digital journalism—from retired male reporters who wrote most of their articles on typewriters to young female data journalists. The interviews with journalists—including local newspaper reporters, public broadcasting services and news magazines’ editors, freelancers and former German Democratic Republic (GDR) journalists—are part of a larger funded research project on German journalism. Their analysis reveals a common problematization of the growing pace of news production and the hybridization of media formats. The qualitative data confirm data from quantitative surveys on journalism and can help international journalism research to get an in-depth understanding on how journalists perceive the changes over the last decades in their trade.

“…To create a dataset with some meaningful variation that allows for a more general analysis, we took a more systematic approach. First, we identified a set of twelve countries falling into different media system categories (Hallin, 2016) where the existence of AI guidelines was already known or likely to be expected. These countries can be grouped into four main geographical regions: Western Europe (Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom), Scandinavia (Finland, Norway, and Sweden), North America (Canada and the United States), and the Global South 2 (Brazil and India).…”

A growing number of news organisations have set up specific guidelines to govern how they use artificial intelligence (AI). This article analyses a set of 52 guidelines from publishers in Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Finland, Germany, India, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Looking at both formal and thematic characteristics, we provide comparative insights into how news outlets address both expectations and concerns when it comes to using AI in the news. Drawing from neo- institutional theory and the concept of institutional isomorphism, we argue that the policies show signs of homogeneity, likely explained by isomorphic dynamics which arose as a response to the uncertainty created by the rise of generative AI after the release of ChatGPT in November 2022. Our study shows that publishers have already begun to converge in their guidelines on key points such as transparency and human supervision when dealing with AI-generated content. However, we argue that national and organisational idiosyncrasies continue to matter in shaping publishers’ practices, with both accounting for some of the variation seen in the data. We conclude by pointing out blind spots around technological dependency, sustainable AI, and inequalities in current AI guidelines and providing directions for further research.

“…As in all ideal-typification, some national systems are presented as hybrid realizations of two models/ideal-types. Hallin and Mancini have each recently sought to bolster the concept of media system and Mancini has acknowledged explicitly that it was not as well theorized initially as it might have been (Hallin, 2016;Mancini, 2015) My pressing of media system as ideal-type into the service of an articulation with Worsley's programme aims to further such bolstering. 8.…”

Demagogic populism and media system: A preliminary articulation

Political communication studies has a long tradition of ‘crisis talk’ regarding the fate of public communication. Now, however, the field itself faces a kind of existential crisis as its core assumptions of ‘normal’ political communication are daily undermined. This ‘liberal normalcy’ shares much with orthodoxies in populism studies, most notably a tendency to bracket out demagogic communication, both in historical fascist regimes and democracies. Yet correcting these failings is not simply a matter of rejecting liberal models for left-populist ones. Rather, both fields need to broaden their historical parameters and deepen their theoretical frameworks. The article draws on the Weberian conception of modern demagogy and its revision in the wake of 'modern media' by Shils and Adorno. It further argues that a critical reworking of Hallin and Mancini’s media systems approach could benefit both fields. For Hallin and Mancini’s socio-historical use of Weberian ideal-typification complements Worsley’s never-completed plan for an ideal-typification of modes of populism and demagogic leadership.
