Exploring The Political-Economic Factors Of Participatory Journalism, Marina Vujnovic, Jane Singer, Steve Paulussen
Jane B. Singer
This comparative study of user-generated content (UGC) in 10 Western democracies examines the political economic aspects of citizen participation in online media, as assessed by journalists who work with this content. Drawing on interviews with more than 60 journalists, we explore their perceived economic motivations for an ongoing redefinition of traditional journalistic roles, as UGC becomes an increasingly dominant feature of news websites
Quality Control, Jane Singer
Quality Control, Jane Singer
Jane B. Singer
This study of local British newspaper journalists focuses on three aspects of entrenched newsroom culture—news values and norms, work routines and outputs, and occupational roles—to explore the boundaries that journalists see as distinguishing them from outside contributors. Findings suggest they view user-generated content (UGC) from a traditional professional perspective and weigh its benefits in terms of its contribution to the journalism they produce. While most are open to its inclusion on newspaper websites, particularly as a traffic builder and supplemental source of hyperlocal information, they believe UGC can undermine journalistic norms and values unless carefully monitored—a gatekeeping task they fear …

Separate Spaces Discourse About The 2007 Scottish Elections On A National Newspaper Web Site, Jane Singer
Jane B. Singer
In May 2007, Scots voted into office a party and a political leader publicly committed to holding a referendum on independence from Great Britain within four years. This study analyzes nearly forty-eight hundred comments appended to stories on the scotsman.com Web site, offering one of the first detailed looks at user-generated content on a newspaper-affiliated Web site in the context of a national election. It explores the evolving nature of online political community and the ways in which newspapers are accommodating a networked environment in their political coverage, addressing issues of citizen and journalistic engagement within a communal space

"Comment Is Free, But Facts Are Sacred": User-Generated Content And Ethical Constructs At The Guardian, Jane Singer, Ian Ashman
Jane B. Singer
This case study examines how journalists at Britain’s Guardian newspaper and affiliated Web site are assessing and incorporating user-generated content in their perceptions and practices. A framework of existentialism helps highlight constructs and professional norms of interest. It is one of the first data-driven studies to explore how journalists are negotiating personal and social ethics within a digital network.
Ethnography, Jane Singer
Ethnography, Jane Singer
Jane B. Singer
Many qualitative studies in journalism and mass communication research draw on ethnographic methods that originated in anthropology and sociology. These methods involve studying people within their own cultural environment through intensive fieldwork; they emphasize the subjects' frames of reference and understandings of the world. This article uses a comparison between journalism and ethnographic research as a framework for highlighting common problems with manuscripts using this method. It offers veteran ethnographers' tips about what they look for in a manuscript and identifies three ethnographies that are examples of successful application of the method to topics of interest to journal readers.

Role Call: 2008 Campaign And Election Coverage On The Web Sites Of Leading U.S. Newspapers., Jane Singer
Jane B. Singer
This study explores how Web sites affiliated with leading U.S. newspapers covered the 2008 campaign and election. It traces changes over a decade in which the Internet moved from the periphery to the center of political, public, and media attention. Although a 2004 study suggested online editors were rethinking their function as information gatekeepers, this study indicates a reassertion of traditional journalistic roles despite an increase in options for user input

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 …

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 …
