“…The newspaper is convinced that digitisation gives its readers further possibilities to participate in a comment field (both in relation to columns and to news), on social media and by sharing columns. This finding contradicts former PARTICIPATION AND CONTROL studies from both Sweden (Bergströ m and Wadbring 2015; Karlsson et al 2015) and the United Kingdom (Williams, Wardle, and Wahl-Jorgensen 2011). They conclude with resistance in the newsrooms to audience participation, and reveal that media organisations have become less eager to facilitate a public discourse.…”

This article investigates commentary journalism online, based on a case study of the Norwegian regional newspaper Nordlys and its online commentary and debate section. The aim is to discuss how journalists perceive the loss of control when technologies and users interact with the debate agenda online. Actor-network theory is used to explore the interaction amongst editorial staff, new technologies, professional norms and the participation of audiences. The findings reveal that digital technology becomes a powerful actor in the network of public media, as it directly affects the forms of journalistic presentation and public debates. In addition, new technologies contribute to the empowerment of audiences, who gain better access to both the newsroom and the wider public.

Based on a survey (N = 1613) directed to members of the Norwegian Journalist Association (NJ), this paper presents an extensive overview of the ways in which comparably older and newer online platforms have been incorporated into the professional lives of Norwegian journalists. While plenty of research is available that explores the uses of Twitter by journalists, the results presented here suggest that Facebook is by far the most frequently used platform throughout the journalistic process-from collecting information, distributing content and engaging with readers. Statistical analyses provide further insights into which variables appear to influence certain modes of usage across the studied platforms. Based on the results, the argument is made that the advantages of using Facebook as a platform for journalistic practices are obvious due to its popularity among the general public, but that this utilization of one platform over others also could be problematic. As Facebook continues to gain leverage towards the newspapers they host, questions of journalistic practices need to come to the fore.

“…But the news domain and the production of news articles provides its own unique context and potential opening effects. For example, over the last few decades, journalism has seen a rise in participatory practices [6,30] and interactive social technologies [1,14]. Vobic and Dahlgren [30:17] note that "the situation of online journalism today is difficult to grasp in its totality.…”

Peer production communities (c.f. Benkler 2002) are typified by principles of access to resources, inclusive participation, transparency of action, and democratic work. However, the ways in which they operate and evolve depend on various infrastructural and governance mechanisms. Literature suggests that there are three key challenges to overcome in building and sustaining a community that produces open knowledge goods, namely motivation (incentives for participation), coordination (efficient organization of work), and integration (effective creation of high quality end products). We present a theoretical framework to analyze case study findings from the WikiTribune project, a "hybrid" model of peer production. This project is characterized as an open collaborative journalism model that combines elements of commercial firm-based production with that of commons-based peer production. The framework identifies factors affecting hybrid models and the impact on community and resource development.
