Participatory Journalism Practices In The Media And Beyond, David Domingo, Thorsten Quandt, Ari Heinonen, Jane Singer, Marina Vujnovic

Jane B. Singer

This article is a contribution to the debate on audience participation in online media with a twofold aim: (1) making conceptual sense of the phenomenon of participatory journalism in the framework of journalism research, and (2) determining the forms that it is taking in eight European countries and the United States. First, participatory journalism is considered in the context of the historical evolution of public communication. A methodological strategy for systematically analysing citizen participation opportunities in the media is then proposed and applied. A sample of 16 online newspapers offers preliminary data that suggest news organisations are interpreting online user …

Publish (And Be Popular) Or Perish: Value Metrics For Scholarly Work In A Digital Environment, Jane Singer

Jane B. Singer

The following essays were presented at an Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication conference panel entitled: “New Media, New Scholarship: the Internet's Potential in the World of Ideas.” Panelist Mitch Stephens challenges the academic world's worshipfulness of the printed word by arguing for new understandings through the use of new technologies. Stephens posits that we should move away from our devotion to print to achieve new spatial and temporal meanings derived from the Internet. Panelist Jane Singer debates the authority of peerreviewed print journals over what academic communities value. With the Internet, there can be new metrics for …

Posting For Points: Edublogs In The Jmc Curriculum, Jane Singer Dec 2007

Posting For Points: Edublogs In The Jmc Curriculum, Jane Singer

Jane B. Singer

Despite the spread of blogs in mass media and in academia, little scholarly work has explored their use within the journalism and mass communication curriculum. This study, based on incorporation of blogs in ten classes during five semesters -- undergraduate and graduate, skills and conceptual -- examines student use of the format in relation to theories of social and blended learning. Findings suggest that although students tend to approach blogging as yet another assignment, blogs facilitate their engagement with course material and one another. Blogging has become an integral job component for growing numbers of journalists and other mass communication …

The Journalist In The Network: A Shifting Rationale For The Gatekeeping Role And The Objectivity Norm, Jane Singer Dec 2007

The Journalist In The Network: A Shifting Rationale For The Gatekeeping Role And The Objectivity Norm, Jane Singer

Jane B. Singer

The move to a networked media environment presents a range of challenges to journalistic routines, roles, and norms. This article suggests that professional ethics have evolved to articulate and safeguard a traditional gatekeeping role that no longer exists; as a result, the rationale behind those ethics must shift to accommodate interconnections rather than discrete products and functions. Similarly, the notion of journalistic objectivity is open to renewed debate when detachment can translate into isolation from the rest of the network.
