The Maiden Tribute and the Naming of Monsters : two case studies of popular journalism as alternative public sphere
- 2006
-
In: Journalism Studies. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1461-670X .- 1469-9699. ; 7:6, s. 851-868
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this article is to contribute to the ongoing discussion about the critical potential of tabloid journalism. It does so through a comparison of two popular journalism campaigns: the “Maiden Tribute” campaign in the London newspaper the Pall Mall Gazette in 1885 (dealing with underage prostitution), and the “naming-and-shaming” campaign in the News of the World in 2000, concerning child abuse and paedophilia. The main research question is whether any or both of these campaigns can be viewed as contributions to an alternative public sphere, as defined using concepts from Örnebring and Jönsson (200416. Örnebring , Henrik and Jönsson , Anna Maria ( 2004 ) “Tabloid Journalism and the Public Sphere: a historical perspective on tabloid journalism” , Journalism Studies 5 ( 3 ), pp. 283 – 95 .[Taylor & Francis Online]View all references) and Atton (20021. Atton, Chris. 2002. Alternative Media, London: Sage. View all references). Three aspects of the campaigns are compared: (1) How they discursively frame the issue at hand, (2) How they discursively frame the key actors present in the texts, and (3) What mode of address is employed. The purpose of this comparison is to examine whether the campaigns open up alternative possibilities in how they frame and present the issue and the actors, and in how they address and give space to their audiences. The main result is that the Pall Mall Gazette campaign has the greater claim to being a contribution to an alternative public sphere in terms of how it frames the issue and the actors. The article further argues that while there is a distinct potential of tabloid journalism to contribute to an alternative public sphere in certain circumstances, this potential should not be overstated.

Alternate Reality Games and Convergence Culture : The Case of Alias
- 2007
-
In: International journal of cultural studies. - : SAGE Publications. - 1367-8779 .- 1460-356X. ; 10:4, s. 445-462
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) are a form of internet-based mystery game in which participants are immersed in a fictional world and engage in collective problem-solving. This article studies three ARGs connected to the TV series Alias (ABC, 2001—6), two of them launched by the network ABC as part of the marketing of the TV series, the third produced by fans. Previous research on ARGs has not sufficiently problematized the fact that many ARGs are marketing tools. While ARGs can be analysed as part of a wider context of convergence culture and fan culture, such an analysis must take into account the underlying commercial logic of popular culture production. Despite the differences found between industry-produced and fan-produced ARGs, they still share a framework of consumption that conforms to corporate goals of marketing and brand-building as well as fan audiences' goals of pleasurable interaction with fictional worlds

Comparative Journalism Research : an Overview
- 2012
-
In: Sociology Compass. - : Wiley-Blackwell. - 1751-9020. ; 10:6, s. 769-780
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This overview focuses on the most common type of comparative journalism research, which is cross-national comparative research. The overview presents a typology for different types of comparative journalism research, based on whether the research interest is in journalism as an activity or as a product; and, in the case of journalism as an activity, whether the interest is in the system level, the organizational level, or the individual level of journalism. The overview finds that the analysis of journalism on the individual level and of journalism as a product are the most common types of comparative research, whereas comparative analysis of journalism on the organizational level is much under-studied.

Dimensions of journalistic workplace autonomy : A five-nation comparison
- 2016
-
In: Javnost - The Public. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1318-3222 .- 1854-8377. ; 23:3, s. 307-326
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article examines how journalists perceive workplace autonomy in five European countries, based on an email survey (N = 2238) conducted in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Estonia. The article argues that the workplace level functions as a link between the macro level of external pressures and the micro level of perceived influences on news work. Using principal component analysis we explore the dimensionality of workplace autonomy based on a set of 20 survey questions. Regression analysis is then used on the dimensions found in order to determine what affects perception of autonomy in the different dimensions. The most salient explanatory variables are found on the country and organisational levels, whereas the variables age, experience, gender, managerial role and medium have no or limited effects. The results show the organisational and country levels being integrated and that national journalistic culture is the most salient factor explaining perception of autonomy.

In the Margins of Journalism : Gender and livelihood among local (ex-) journalists in Sweden
- 2018
-
In: Journalism Practice. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1751-2786 .- 1751-2794. ; 12:8, s. 1051-1060

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Research on journalists and journalistic work has focused on journalists with permanent, full-time employment. Given the rapid decrease of such employment opportunities, we argue that journalism research needs to pay more attention to those who those who have had to leave their jobs and either stopped doing journalism entirely, or who have switched to a freelance career (sometimes combining journalism with other work). This category of people is at once becoming more marginalized and “the new normal” within the occupation: In this paper, we furthermore focus on local (Swedish) journalists and ex-journalists. Based on a set of semi-structured interviews (n = 12) with ex-journalists who share the experience of having lost their permanent, full-time jobs, we use the concept of livelihood as an analytical tool. The concept of livelihood highlights the shift from journalism as a job practiced exclusive of other jobs to an activity conducted alongside other income-generating activities and makes it possible to analyse leaving the occupation from a context that incorporates the whole life situation of the respondents. This also contributes to the current wave of studies of journalism and job loss by adding qualitative data about individual experiences of job loss to the existing quantitative survey evidence.
