“…Here, journalism understands and addresses an audience in particular as a homogenously understood emotional collective entity. "National pride and patriotism" (I9) are popular media narratives in India (Bhushan, 2013, Batabyal, 2012 and are prominently expressed and observed with Indian interviewees.…”

My sincere thanks to the reviewers of this article for their valuable comments. Funding information: No external funding This paper identifies three main aspects of emotional engagement in journalistic news practice and outlines moments of tension between journalistic principles and (imagined) audience expectations. It investigates the relationship between emotionally (dis)engaging elements featured in television newscoverage, and the rationale behind their deployment by journalists. In doing this, the article aims to address both journalism content and production dimension. It combines two qualitative approaches. This comprises semi-structured interviews conducted with around 50 journalists across both countries, supported by a close reading of TV news.The study is set within a cross-national comparative framework of two very different television cultures -the United Kingdom and India, where debates about emotional engagement contrasts a strongly regulated public service television market in the UK standing against highly competitive commercial 24-hour news programs in India. The study present how journalists imagine news programs today. By highlighting journalistic practices outside of the normative model of Anglo-American journalism, this paper also seeks to include a de-Westernizing perspective within journalism studies. The paper will show that despite defending "classical" professional principles and news values, journalists across borders consider engagement and emotionalizing elements as indispensable in linking to audiences.

“…When it comes to countries not at war, we can start with India, where journalists are divided: some support government regulation with or without punitive measures and invite monitoring, while others favour self-regulation (Bhushan, 2013). With a study based on self-perception of what impunity means, Harrison and Pukallus (2018) compared Mexican and Indian journalism because both contexts lack public awareness of attacks on journalists and the difficulty of protecting independent journalism.…”

Among the many outcomes of the so-called War on Drugs, Mexico has become one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalism. Besides killings and kidnappings, journalists are also frequent victims of beatings, arbitrary detentions, and online harassment, as well as many other acts of aggression. Anti-press violence has an evident impact on Mexican journalists’ daily activities, particularly as related to the coverage of organised crime. The endemic risk that news workers constantly face determines how they represent and interpret the stories they report on when it comes to this issue. Thus, this inquiry aims to analyse the practices that reporters and editors implement during the news-making process when covering cartels’ activities. In doing so, this paper draws on a set of in-depth interviews with news workers from Mexico’s main national newspapers, and from all the states where journalists were killed in 2017. The main findings indicate that there is a lack of written norms for the coverage of organised crime, and that reporters refer to criminals with a sense of familiarity. In addition, this study contributes to the understanding of journalists’ decisions in the field when doing their job, especially in dangerous conditions.
