“…The aim is PARTICIPATION AND CONTROL to stimulate debate and discussion (Mathisen and Morlandstø 2016;McNair 2008). Today, the genre is growing rapidly in several countries, including in print, online and broadcast media (Djerf-Pierre and Weibull 2008;Esser and Umbricht 2014;Knapskog 2009;McNair 2000McNair , 2008Salgado and Strö mback 2012;Wahl-Jorgensen and Hanitzsch 2009). …”

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.

“…New communication technologies have triggered the rise of institutionalized global networks of scientists, while it has become much easier to acquire funding for international studies. As journalism itself is an increasingly global phenomenon, its study is becoming an international and collaborative endeavour (WAHL-JORGENSEN;HANITZSCH, 2009, p. 6). Contrary to this optimistic assumption, it seems that a majority of studies on journalism still focus on news production …”

Is journalism studies a sub-domain of communication studies, adistinct discipline, a multidisciplinary merger or a transdisciplinary endeavour? This question is discussed by analyzing the 2008 and2009 volumes of seven academic journals focusing on journalismresearch. The sample includes 349 articles published in BrazilianJournalism Research, Ecquid Novi, Journalism & CommunicationMonographs, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, PacificJournalism Review, Journalism Studies, or Journalism: Theory,Practice and Criticism. Overall, the findings reveal that journalismresearch mainly applies theoretical approaches and empiricalmethods deriving from other disciplines, particularly sociology, psychology or cultural studies. In many countries, however, journalism studies has reached a comparatively high level of institutionalization indicated by the large number of specific schools, professorships, professional associations and respective academic journals. In conclusion, we argue that journalism studies is a sub-domain of communication studies, which integrates andtranscends various disciplines aiming to become one of the axialsubjects of the 21st century.

“…Since the cultural, creative or media industries play an important role in understanding the world (Boyer and Hannerz, 2006;Gardner et al, 2001;Hachten, 2005;Harcup, 2004;Hartley, 2005;Hesmondhalgh, 2006;Machin and Niblock, 2006;Meadows, 1998Meadows, , 1999Meadows, , 2001Negus and Pickering, 2004;North, 2009;O'Shaughnessy, 1999;Rupar, 2010;Sheridan Burns, 2002;Tapsall and Varley, 2001;Wahl-Jorgensen and Hanitzsch, 2008), and given that journalists are part of the media, the way journalists produce, or create, their news stories, is an important proposition. This article applies theories and definitions from creativity research to confirm that creative activity can be found and explained within the domain of print journalism.…”
