Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Last decades development of news production has accentuated the need for increased managerial skills among editorial leaders. This need is followed by discursive notions connecting management levels across sectors, also the sector of news production. The managerial ideology features globalization of values and economy in the labour market, as well as in the area of communication, and promotes streamlining of organizational models in line with a business thinking common to several industries. This kind of management ideology has implications for all levels of news work and, above all, emphasizes audience orientation to a further extent than before. Our article focuses on how editorial leaders in Sweden perceive their own role as leaders to be changing and why. It does so by drawing empirical support from a mixed methods design of three surveys of editors-in-chief in Sweden, conducted in 2005, 2010, and 2011. The result reveals that editorial leaders are strongly embracing values characterised by managerialism by bringing the key values of profit, efficiency and leadership into the newsroom. They also perceive their managerial influence to have increased in the newsroom. As this kind of leadership is rather new to Scandinavian news media, the article discusses what kind of implications this new form of leadership may have for news organizations in the facing of new challenges.

Profession möter management. Den journalistiska värdegrundens förhandling på svenska morgontidningar.
- 2018
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Villkoren för redaktionellt ledarskap och journalistiskt arbete har genomgått omfattande förändringar under 2000-talet. Omstruktureringar, neddragningar och nya samarbetsformer har inneburit stora utmaningar för många tidningsredaktioner. I spåren av denna omvandling har också följt en allt tydligare managementdiskurs, där styrning, effektivitet och mätbarhet utgör centrala beståndsdelar. Frågor har väckts om hur den journalistiska värdegrunden och autonomin egentligen påverkas av ökad styrning på redaktionen. Boken Profession möter management söker ta ett samlat grepp om situationen på svenska morgontidningar. Genom intervjuer med redaktionernas medarbetare studeras hur dessa upplever samspelet mellan styrning och autonomi i det dagliga arbetet. I fokus ligger förhandlingen om den journalistiska värdegrunden och hur förhandlingen rent praktiskt tar sig uttryck på redaktionen. Tre centrala teman urskiljs i studiens resultat: de kommersiella drivkrafternas ökade betydelse för det redaktionella arbetet; den yttre och den inre förhandlingen mellan professionella ideal och redaktionell praktik; samt, den villkorade autonomin. Bokens författare är docent Ulrika Andersson, filosofie master Amanda Waldenström och docent Jenny Wiik – samtliga verksamma vid Institutionen för journalistik, medier och kommunikation (JMG) vid Göteborgs universitet.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The development of news production over the last decade has accentuated the negotiation between two forces of change: professional discourse and managerial discourse. The first characterizes journalistic identity by normative ideals and serves to legitimize journalists as an autonomous and self-regulating group. Managerial discourse, on the other hand, expresses the globalization of values and economy in the labour market, as well as in the area of communication, streamlining organizational models, and suggesting a business thinking common to several industries, in addition to an evolving view of the individual as an entrepreneur. Managerialism has implications for all levels of news work and, above all, emphasizes audience orientation, as the will of the audience becomes imperative. It promotes a form of leadership rather new to Scandinavian news organizations by strongly bringing the key values of profit and efficiency to the negotiating table. This article focuses on the constant negotiation between discourses by drawing empirical support from three survey studies of editors-in-chief and journalists in Sweden. It describes how editors-in-chief perceive their own role to be changing and why, and attempts to relate the new forms of leadership to current professional developments in journalism.

Journalistic Twitter branding in the neoliberal labour market
- 2015

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Personal branding is nothing new to journalists, but the explosion of opportunities on social media has emphasized the importance of molding everyone’s own trademark. The boundaries between professional and private roles have obviously become blurred, allowing journalists to have a more authentic voice in public than before. Furthermore, the radical development of the social media environment is paralleled by thorough changes of the journalistic labor market. Neoliberal policies in many countries as well as trembling media business models has forced the industry further into relying on the use of temporary workers and network based recruiting. The responsibility for finding career possibilities as well as maintaining a professional community is increasingly moving from the newsroom and the industrial actors to the loose crowd of individual media workers. In this networked labor market social media presence becomes crucial, but how do journalists make use of this? How do they choose to present themselves? This paper addresses this question based on the empirical study of 2,543 Swedish journalists’ Twitter accounts. The material was collected in May 2014, and provides a broad mapping of common features of journalistic branding in social media. The personal presentations in the Twitter account information will be analyzed within the framework of professional theory and current labor market research. The paper aims to contribute to the discussion on shifting boundaries of the journalistic role and the role of social media in this, as well as to the consequences of an increasingly atomized labor market for journalists.

Managing the newsroom: perceptions of influence and control among Swedish newspaper professionals

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Journalistic work and organizations are currently undergoing rapid change. One of the most striking features of this transformation seems to be an increasing influence of managerial discourse in the newsroom. Editorial leadership is proving to be more professionalized, standardized and accentuated than before, which could affect journalistic autonomy and status. In this article we investigate the shifting power balance in news production by focusing on the management–staff relationship in Swedish newspapers and discussing the possible consequences of this development for the professional autonomy and status of journalists. Empirical support is drawn from two national surveys of Swedish journalists and a small interview study of Swedish newspaper journalists, and the data is analysed within a framework of professional and organizational theory. The results indicate a move towards managerial dominance in the newsroom during the last decade, but also that journalists to some extent seem to approve of this development. Even so, the results may be another indication of a de-professionalization of journalists to the benefit of the managerial group in the news business. The article aims at contributing to a further understanding of the changing organizational behaviour of news companies and how journalism practices in the newsroom are being challenged by an excessive growth of managerialism, which not only inhibit and limit journalistic professionalism, but also leads to a loss of democracy.
