“…Understanding the continuing social and political relevance of printed media within social movements could produce some important insights for current debates in journalism and media studies, which question the future of printed media in a multimedia environment (Chyi, 2006;Chyi and Yang, 2009;De Waal et al, 2005;Franklin, 2011;Pimlott, 2011;Rodrigues Cardoso, 2011;Thurman and Myllylahti, 2009). Within these debates, some scholars have rightly pointed out that printed media continue to have a fundamental importance for their readers, whether these are leaflets, magazines or printed newspapers (Chyi and Yang, 2009;Pimlott, 2011).…”

This study examines the social and political importance of printed magazines at a time of social and mobile media. It draws on a cross-cultural ethnographic research amongst two different political organisations in Britain and Spain. Although differing in political cultures and strategies, both organisations invest their few economic resources in the production of printed activist magazines, as well as in the development of web platforms. This study investigates why for these political groups' materiality matters. It argues that looking at why people -and especially grassroots political organisations -remain attached to material forms of communication, whilst at the same time developing online ones, can raise critical questions on the connection between subjectivity, political association and new technologies, as well as on the difference between individualised and collective forms of communication.

“…Johnston Press, for example, which has a strong presence in Scotland, reduced its editorial and photographic staff by 49 per cent between 2009 and 2014 (2016: 30). Franklin (2014), among others, has assessed that the financial crisis facing the print media is accompanied by a civic crisis, with journalists no longer able to effectively hold politicians and power to account. Like many other journalism start-ups, The Ferret is, in part, about trying to find a sustainable economic model for doing time-consuming, investigative journalism:…”

There has been a recent, rapid growth in the number of digital start-ups seeking sustainable models for doing journalism (Carvajal et al 2012). However, there is a relative lack of detailed, empirical research about such organisations (Wahl-Jorgensen et al 2016). This article addresses this by analysing The Ferret-a recently launched investigative journalism platform threatening to 'nose up the trousers' of power in Scotland. Based on in-depth interviews with members of The Ferret's Board of Directors, the article explores the motivations behind the launch of the coop , examines its growth to date, and critically assesses its prospects of achieving a sustainable future. It finds The Ferret was a response to three perceived crises: democratic, economic and ethical. Its founders call upon the traditions and mythology of journalism while seeking to offer a new version of what journalism might be. Funded mainly by subscriptions, The Ferret has achieved slow and steady growth, but only survives due to the subsidized labour of its core team. The organisation is now reaching a tipping point where, if it is to endure, it must expand beyond its journalistic base, while building a much fuller understanding of the nature and motivations of its paying audience.

“…El objetivo de esta investigación es completar una revisión sobre el estado de la innovación periodística, resumir los enfoques que estructuran la investigación, asentar conceptos y proponer nuevas avenidas de investigación. Ante la reforma permanente de los planes de estudio, la investigación contribuye a la demanda de una titulación adaptada a la sociedad digital y la transformación de la profesión, los estudios de grado y la investigación en periodismo requieren una agenda propia, un lenguaje de investigación adecuado y evidencias de colaboración entre la industria periodística y la universidad (Franklin, 2014). Para todo ello se parte de las siguientes hipótesis de trabajo:…”

Pages 1634 based on descriptive approaches. The study also involves the review of the agendas of the International Journalism Festival, held in Perugia since 2006, to identify the bridges between the traditional journalism industry, technological operators and university centres. Results and conclusions: The research responds to the need for a journalism degree programme that is adapted to the digital society and the transformation of the profession, undergraduate studies and journalism research, that requires its own agenda, an adequate research language and evidence of collaboration between the journalism industry and the university.
