“…The findings of this study suggest that these types of stories also tend to be user-generated and biased, since these characteristics are associated with greater hostility. This would be consistent with previous research that finds biased news videos are more popular (Peer and Ksiazek 2011) and user-generated content is more engaging (Ksiazek, Peer, and Lessard 2014). This presents a quandary for news organizations, highlighting the tension between profit-seeking and public service motives: while popularity and engagement are highly desirable from a business perspective, hostility in user comments can undermine the deliberative potential of virtual news discussions.…”

“…While objectivity was one of the primary journalistic norms of the twentieth century (Schudson 2001), the proliferation of specialized, targeted news outlets has led to a competitive marketplace that has space for biased news coverage, to the point where it has become both popular and acceptable (Peer and Ksiazek 2011). It is likely that biased news videos will attract partisan arguing, since users are unlikely to know the particular slant of news coverage prior to watching a video.…”

“…YouTube has become the preferred platform to watch videos due to its popularity and the fact that it is also free. Most of the videos on YouTube last no more than two minutes [Peer and Ksiazek, 2011]. Competition from other formats, the fight for audiences' attention and viewing on small screens encourages the production of brief online videos.…”

This article proposes a classification of the current differences between online videos produced specifically for television and online videos produced for the Internet, based on online audiovisual production on climate change. The classification, which consists of 18 formats divided into two groups that allow comparisons to be made between television and web formats, was created through the quantitative and qualitative content analysis of a sample of 300 videos. The findings show that online video's capacity to generate visits is greater when it has been designed to be broadcast on the Internet than when produced for television.

“…Outsiders were excluded from the process. In the case of television news, news videos to be consumed by the masses were made to fit professional standards (Peer & Ksiazek 2011). The introduction of visual content through social media, and specifically YouTube, has brought about a disruption that has shaken the foundations of the profession.…”

Egypt shifts towards a networked journalism paradigm

This study attempts to explore the relationship between the role of the traditional press, the output of social media as it emerged during the 25 January 2011 revolution, the 30 June 2011 protests and beyond; and also to determine if the mainstreaming of social media changed journalism practices in Egypt. The findings of this study indicate that there has been a significantly increased flow of citizen-generated content into journalism practice, although there is also a certain amount of resistance to its use. Findings also suggest that a traditional gatekeeping approach is the preferred model for governing this flow; yet, editorial structures and mechanisms to govern this model are not in place generally. Nonetheless, this uncertain transition period appears to harbour the possibility of better quality journalism in a networked future.
