“…The media landscape in Switzerland is similar to that of other countries in Northern Europe, both in terms of the media system (Hallin et Mancini 2004) and of journalists' working conditions and role perceptions (Hanitzsch et al 2011;Bonin et al 2017). Moreover, the Swiss media landscape is known to be particularly dense and diverse (Bonin et al 2017;Dingerkus et al 2018). Consequently, research on Swiss investigative journalism practice at both the individual and organizational levels promises to be particularly fruitful while still remaining relevant for the wider European context, which has become a major breeding ground for watchdog reporting.…”

This study examines the connection between newsroom policies, division of labor and journalists' willingness to engage in investigative reporting. Based on extensive qualitative research carried out at three different Swiss media organizations, it suggests that policies meant to foster investigative journalism may actually have counterproductive effects and increase competition in the workplace, both over material resources, such as time, and symbolic resources, for example legitimacy and status. From newsrooms with loosely integrated structures to very separate autonomous units, observed policies fail to integrate investigative journalism into the general beat system in an inclusive way, thereby creating divisions between those who benefit from it (insiders) and the others (outsiders). This, in turn, may impact journalists' investigative commitment and undermine the legitimacy of investigative reporting in all the newsroom. The study's findings highlight the ways in which investigative journalism challenges the traditional division of journalistic labor and point to a growing need to consider investigation both as a practice and as a cornerstone of journalistic identities when formulating investigative management policies.

“…Instead of taking a comparative approach, the project aims to highlight trends that transcend national or even regional particularities. In this regard, it builds on research that has established the existence of common professional cultures, notably between Switzerland and Belgium (Bonin et al, 2017) and of common traits between different national media systems (Hallin and Mancini, 2004). A significant part of the project consisted of developing a database of initiatives undertaken by local news media to (re)connect with audiences.…”

This paper explores how local news organizations seek to strengthen their bond with audiences in French-speaking Europe (Belgium, France, and Switzerland). It does so by suggesting a new methodological approach focusing on the different ways in which this bond can be observed, i.e., the “initiatives” implemented by the news organizations. The study identifies 20 types of initiatives undertaken to (re)connect with audiences and presents a model of audience inclusion in news media in line with the literature on modalities of audience participation in news media. The discussion identifies changes in the positioning of local news organizations and journalists towards audiences regarding existing literature on participatory journalism but also on new practices more rooted in engagement, dialogue, and transparency towards audiences.
