Jane B. Singer

When everyone can be a publisher, what distinguishes the journalist? This article considers contemporary challenges to institutional roles in a digital media environment and then turns to three broad journalistic normative values—authenticity, accountability, and autonomy—that affect the credibility of journalists and the content they provide.

Politics Of Appearances: Religion, Law, And The Press In Morocco, A Souaiaia Jul 2007

Politics Of Appearances: Religion, Law, And The Press In Morocco, A Souaiaia

Ahmed E SOUAIAIA

Since the last several years of the life of King Hassan II, Morocco slowly moved from authoritarian rule to a managed democracy. As a result of this gradual political liberalization, religious groups as well as secular ones formed political parties. Islamists have already won seats in the parliament and they are expected to gain nearly half the number of seats in the coming elections. Equally significant is the increased presence of human rights and non-government organizations and the emergence of independent and party-affiliated newspapers and other media outlets. In this article, I focus on the prospects of seeing a free …


“The Daily Show Effect” Revisited: How Satire Contributes To Political Participation And Trust In Young Audiences, Daxton R. Stewart Jul 2007

“The Daily Show Effect” Revisited: How Satire Contributes To Political Participation And Trust In Young Audiences, Daxton R. Stewart

Daxton "Chip" Stewart

In 2006, Baumgartner and Morris examined what they called “The Daily Show Effect,” which suggested that viewership of the humor-based news show on Comedy Central corresponded with an increase in political efficacy but a decrease in perceptions of trustworthiness of candidates. This effect was further examined in this study in the context of political participation and trust in politicians in general. A survey was conducted of 650 participants age 18 to 22, asking questions about respondents’ media consumption, political participation at both active and passive levels, and perceptions of political trust. Results showed that viewership of The Daily Show and …


Types Of Fantasy Sports Users And Their Motivations, Lee Farquhar, Robert Meeds Jun 2007

Types Of Fantasy Sports Users And Their Motivations, Lee Farquhar, Robert Meeds

Lee Farquhar

Over 15 million people participate in online fantasy sports. Applying a uses and gratifications framework, we use Q-methodology, a quantitative means for developing typologies of people, to examine types of online fantasy sports users and their motivations. Five types of players emerged, with casual players, skilled players, and isolationist thrill-seekers being the three most common types. Differences among types of users were primarily associated with two motivations—arousal and surveillance—while entertainment, escape, and social interaction motivations were judged to be less important. The minimal importance of social interaction to fantasy sports users in this study was unexpected, based on previous research, …

Contested Autonomy: Professional And Popular Claims On Journalistic Norms, Jane Singer Jan 2007

Contested Autonomy: Professional And Popular Claims On Journalistic Norms, Jane Singer

Jane B. Singer

Commitments to truth and to “transparency,” or public accountability, are two central normative aspects of professional journalism. This article considers ways in which both are challenged and complemented by popular communicators, particularly bloggers, in today's media environment. While all professions claim autonomy over articulation and enactment of their own norms, definitions of professional constructs are now open to reinterpretation, and oversight of professional behavior is increasingly shared.
