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.

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.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- De senaste decenniernas omvandling av medielandskapet har inneburit en förändrad situation för de flesta medieföretag. Ökad marknadsorientering framdriven av ökad konkurrens, framväxten av nya kommersiella mediekanaler, ny teknik och långtgående avregleringar är exempel på faktorer som har haft avgörande konsekvenser för journalistisk praxis och ideologi. Dessa faktorer har också påverkat betoningen av de olika drivkrafter som styr det redaktionella arbetet. Kapitlet studerar hur journalister upplever att drivkrafterna för den journalistiska verksamheten har förändrats under den senaste tioårsperioden.

From Gatekeeper to Gate-opener: Open-Source Spaces in Investigative Journalism
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Journalism Practice. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1751-2786 .- 1751-2794. ; 17:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The up-and-coming phenomenon of open source in journalism lead by non-journalistic actors like Airwars, Bellingcat, Forensic Architecture and Syrian Archive has brought an entirely new dynamic to investigative journalism. These actors share and rely heavily on an open-source ideology. With novel methods and tools, they integrate a new set of actors, competencies, and technology into journalistic practice, renegotiating and transcending professional boundaries. For the genre of investigative journalism, they can in many ways be leading the development of methodology as well as ideology; but how? This article addresses this question based on in-depth interviews with an exclusive selection of key informants from these networks. The study is theoretically framed by conceptualizations of collaboration, professional identity, and open-source logic. The results show that, sustained by networked technology, new open-source practices are rapidly emerging in the field of investigative journalism. These practices interrupt professional exclusivity on the one hand, but on the other, they seem to reinforce values of public interest, democracy, and accountability with the help of completely new actors. The open-source investigators thus transform the traditional role of the journalist as "controller" and "gatekeeper" into an enabler of free collaboration, opening "gates" towards new spaces and actors.

Conditional Autonomy. Journalistic practice in the tension field between professionalism and managerialism
- 2019

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Current developments in the Swedish news business have resulted in clashes between the professional stands of journalists and the incentives of their managers, or—from a theoretical perspective— a confrontation between discourses of journalistic professionalism and managerialism. While professionalism includes values of autonomy, self-regulation and public interest, managerialism on the other hand promotes business ideals, standardisation and organisational efficiency. Above all, it promotes a centralised management model of line control at the cost of collegial decision-making and peer review. But what does this mean in practice? In what situations does the negotiation between those discourses arise in everyday news work and how does it affect the autonomy of journalists? This paper aims to answer those questions by focusing on the experiences of Swedish journalists working in the tension field between professional and managerial discourses. This empirical study includes observation studies as well as interviews with journalists and their managers in four Swedish daily newspapers. The results clearly reveal a conditioned journalistic autonomy, and shows how professional ideals are tarnished. The economistic view of journalistic activities is forcefully and successfully implemented by management.
