“…The efficacy of social media concerns perceptions of how it increases productivity and generates value, whether it allows an organization to focus efforts in the right area (Westlund et al, 2021), or how it motivates journalists to add value for both audiences (Weaver & Willnat, 2016) and the media organization (García-Avilés, 2021).

In this sense, it is not just about understanding the current labs at established media organizations as permanent settings for experimentation, as it is often the case in journalism research [García-Avilés, 2021;Hogh-Janovsky & Meier, 2021;Mills & Wagemans, 2021]. The point is to establish a laboratory attitude toward a particular professional domain -an approach the hackathon exemplifies.…”

“…A great deal of theoretical work has been done in recent years around innovation in journalism, in which different production practices are key factors (García-Avilés, 2021). As highlighted by Steensen, some of those practices rely on 'useful' technologies that journalists can harness in order to produce work for a digital landscape.…”
