Mediatisation, Digitisation and Datafication : The Role of the Social in Contemporary Data Capitalism
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - : Polish Communication Association. - 1899-5101. ; 16:1(33), s. 7-18
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses the relations between mediatisation and datafication, and how the process of datafication has integrated several diverse value forms in complex interrelations. The first section outlines the rise of datafication in the wake of the technological development of digitisation in combination with new business models of the media and communications industries, leading to a tighter integration between these and other sectors of society. The second accounts for how this development paves way for certain specific value forms that result from this integrative process, and how the interrelation between value forms introduces a shift in the valuation processes of late modern data capitalism, where the social takes a prominent position. The final section discusses the relationship between datafication and mediatisation. The argument is that although datafication introduces a new phase in the mediatisation process, the former also extends beyond the latter.

Ready to Hire a Freelance Journalist : The Change in Estonian Newsrooms' Willingness to Outsource Journalistic Content Production
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - : Polish Communication Association. - 1899-5101. ; 14:1(28), s. 27-43
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores the change in Estonian media organizations' readiness to cooperate with freelance journalists. The interviews with editors of newsrooms of magazines, newspapers, and radio and television broadcasters were conducted in 2014 and 2019. The findings were additionally tested in the conditions of the Covid-19 crisis in 2020. The paper outlines how over the five years the editors have not only changed their perception of who freelance journalists are but how they express the readiness to outsource content from journalistic entrepreneurs. We conclude that the Estonian media market shows signs of adopting diverse collaborative forms that diverge from the journalistic field. The freelancers' concept has changed, indicating integration of journalistic and entrepreneurial roles - the entrepreneurial journalist is seen less as the odd-jobber working on commission and more of a business partner.

The purposes of interpersonal communication: A survey to find the most likely general reasons why people engage in communication
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - : Polish Communication Association. - 1899-5101. ; 11:1, s. 25-38
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose underlying this paper is to find out what purposes/functions people from a diverse background assess to be more important and central to human interpersonal communication. A list of 17 possible purposes and functions of interpersonal communication was derived from a literature review and used in a survey study. The questionnaire was filled out by 313 participants (international students being in Sweden) from diverse cultural backgrounds. The findings from this study suggest that the participants acknowledge very central aspects of human life to be the reason for communicating. The most agreed upon reasons why we communicate is to share and enhance enjoyment (share positive emotions) and to create and strengthen social bonds (manage relationships).

Polish and Swedish journalist-politician Twitter networks : Who are the gatekeepers?
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - : Polish Communication Association. - 1899-5101. ; 11:2, s. 129-150
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The relationship between journalists and political sources takes different forms and extends from adversarial to advocating. The question which side 'leads the tango' has always been central to this approach. Since technological development has led to hybridization of (the)media system(s), the nature of communication has been reshaped in many ways. The emergence of social media has challenged the journalistic profession, especially journalists' role as gatekeepers, but provided extra space for interaction with sources. Increasing professionalization of politics has reinforced the role of press secretaries/advisers. This is a comparative study of interaction among Polish and Swedish journalists, ministers, and press secretaries in Twitter provided by network analysis and three social network concepts as density, modularity, and centralization. In this analysis, a more influential position is conceptualized in terms of 'communicative resources' or 'accumulated capacity'. Swedish journalists have more opportunities to act as gatekeepers (or 'key users') in the Twitter network; in Poland, it is rather the political side.

30-second politics, 30 years too late : Political TV advertising in Swedish election campaigns, 2006–2018
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - : Polish Communication Association. - 1899-5101. ; 12:3, s. 282-298
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Televised political advertising appears in very different national political communication contexts. Sweden is an interesting case study. For many years, political ads on TV were not allowed at all. However, with the transition from analog to digital terrestrial television the public service obligations of the “hybrid” channel TV4 were dismantled. In the 2010 national election campaign, all Swedish parliamentary parties bought advertising time on TV4. This article intends to shed new light on political TV ads as a new campaign feature in a rapidly transforming political communication environment. The study relates to the concept of hybridization of election campaigns and intends to increase knowledge about hybridization processes by focusing on a critical case where one of the most adopted campaign practices worldwide is finally implemented within a specific national context and deviating political culture.

Narrating “Their War” and “Our War” – the Patriotic Journalism Paradigm in the Context of Swedish and Ukrainian Conflict Coverage
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - : Polish Communication Association. - 1899-5101. ; 15:2(31), s. 178-201
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- “Patriotic journalism,” a deviation from objectivity, has become an important paradigm and well-documented phenomenon in the analysis of conflict coverage. However, studies rarely focus on the link between journalists’ perceptions and narratives. We investigated how journalists from two countries, one involved in a conflict (Ukraine) and the other observing it from a distance (Sweden) relate to the objectivity norm in sourcing and narrating seven conflictive news cases in Ukraine (2017 to 2018). We found pragmatic commitment to objectivity in both countries, which was not always reflected in the content produced. For Swedish journalists, our results hint toward a value-based ally loyalty, which seems less stable than a tribe-based bond. In Ukraine, official Ukrainian perspectives were undisputedly disseminated; however, we did not find that they were generally positively laden, as one would expect for patriotic journalists. Trust in public institutions might be a deciding factor over the extent of patriotism.

Between Dialogue and Confrontation : Two Countries — One Profession Project and the Split in Ukrainian Journalism Culture
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - : Polish Communication Association. - 1899-5101. ; 13:1(25), s. 24-40
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In a process of continuously adjusting to and counteracting the circumstances of conflict since 2014, the Ukrainian media community has become polarized (Budivska & Orlova, 2017). Nygren et al. (2018) observe a confrontation between the ideal of neutrality in coverage and favoring “patriotic journalism” in practice among Ukrainian journalists. This article takes this discussion further and highlights the role of professional journalism associations and international organizations in the struggles within the journalism culture in the situation of conflict. The article uses Ginosar’s (2015) interpretation of Hanitzsch’s (2007) model of journalism culture and Mouffe’s (2013) conceptualization of agonistic vs. antagonistic struggle to discuss the project Two Countries — One Profession is initiated and supported by the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media. Finally, it draws on the reactions by the Ukrainian media community.

Journalists, PR Professionals and the Practice of Paid News in Central and Eastern Europe : An Overview
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - : Polish Communication Association. - 1899-5101. ; 9:1, s. 5-19
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article maps the practice of paid news in Central and Eastern Europe using a review of previous research and a set of exploratory semi-structured interviews with journalists and PR practitioners across 10 post-communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe N = 164. Paid news refers to the practice of journalists and/or news organizations taking money often offered through the intermediary of a PR professional or PR company to write puff pieces for businesses or political interests without indicating that the content is in fact paid for, i.e. a form of corruption of both journalism and PR. This presentation suggests that the existence of the practice is to a great extent systemic, as both journalists and PR professionals are part of a common “culture of corruption” and thus the continued existence of the practice is also a de-professionalizing influence on both occupations, where representatives of both spheres have strong incentives to keep utilizing paid news.

PR, politics and democracy
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - 1899-5101. ; 4:1 (6), s. 125-139
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines the relationship between politics and public relations, based on recent developments in Sweden and Norway. It has become increasingly common for PR firms to offer well-paid job opportunities for former politicians. Then, after some years as advisors in public affairs, including lobbying activity, some of them return to politics as members of the government, press officers or advisors. The article discusses the background for this development, and poses some questions concerning integrity and the possible consequences for democracy.

Introducing the panspectric challenge : A reconfiguration of regulatory values in a multiplatform media landscape
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - Wroclaw, Polen. - 1899-5101. ; 6:2, s. 219-233
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Taking Sweden as a case study, the role of public service broadcasting (PSB) is explored, with a focus on issues of data retention and innovation that accompany web distribution. The issue of predicting audience preferences by means of data retention is investigated, and the related problem of organizational autonomy when interacting with commercial actors in the digital sphere. We hypothesize that previous tendencies towards paternalism might be equally supplemented by tendencies towards so-called “panspectric” surveillance and tracking, given a technological environment where such practices are increasingly common. We argue that the absence of advertising partially helps keep these broadcasters from panspectric temptation. Still, practices such as Facebook integration entail a panspectric element. We ask whether the potential increase in the efficacy of targeting audiences promised by panspectric practices might be offset by its negative impact on civic accountability. Is there a possibility for a “benign,” democratically accountable panspectrocism?

Social media in campaigning - citizens and politicians in the Swedish 2010 election
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - 1899-5101. ; 4:2, s. 241-258
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Within the last few years, social media have emerged and offer network possibilities for political communication. There are large expectations of social media in campaigning and many politicians turned to such networks in the 2010 Swedish election. In spite of the high level of Internet penetration and use in Sweden, people seem reluctant to go online for politics. Survey data collected in an e-panel was analyzed with a focus on social media to reveal to what extent Internet users contact politicians, the information value of these channels and what users expect from politicians during campaigning. Even among frequent users such as the e-panel members, involvement in politics and politicians in social media rather is low. People tend to view social media as an information channel for politics rather than a conversation medium. Politicians should respond to questions if requested, but not assume the position of friends in peoples’ networks.

Russian journalists and social media : updated traditions and new challenges
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - Wroclaw. - 1899-5101. ; 7:2, s. 273-290
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Russian journalism has certain peculiarities based on deeply rooted traditions and state of the modern media system. It has developed a double professional culture; on the one hand it has been serving the state interests and on the other hand journalism has been a mission of enligthment and education in the tradition of the “intelligentia”. New technologies drastically affect media work. Since the mid of 2000s the introduction of social media challenged journalists’ role in society as well as professional practices and norms. This paper discusses an existence of pattern of using social media by Russian journalists based on historical roots and socio-cultural and political background.

Multimedia Development of PBS : A Challenge for the Nordic Media Systems
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - Wroclaw : Wroclaw University Press. - 1899-5101. ; 3:1, s. 131-146
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Public service broadcasting (PSB) has been a distinct feature of the media systems in the Nordic countries. In the perspective of media policy the Nordic countries have shared common features such as universality regarding content and reach, independence from government, funding by licence fee and no advertising. A press run in accordance with free market principles have been an equally important feature, making the systems highly mixed regarding governance and control. The last decades the PSBs have faced competition from an increasing number of purely commercial broadcasters as well as hybrid PSBs. Even more recently the PSBs are facing challenges from multimedia technologies and markets. Are these new challenges and opportunities changing media policy and the PSBs position in the media systems? Or is new technology being shaped to fit traditional public service ideas? The results from this analysis indicate that the PSBs to some extent have flirted with the commercial aspects of new multimedia technologies, but partly these experiments have been called off by widening the concept of PSBs to public service media, and partly the financial payoffs have been miniscule and have also have produced heavy criticism. What has come out of these processes seems to be a confirmation of the basic values of the public service mission.

Nina on the Net : A Study of a Politician Campaigning on Social Networking Sites

Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - Lodz. - 1899-5101. ; 5:2, s. 190-206
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper I will attend to contemporary individualization and digitalization of politics from an in-depth study of a Swedish politician, Nina Larsson, campaigning on social networking sites for re-election to the Swedish Parliament in the 2010 general elections. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the discussion on social networking sites and their potential for representative democratic and broaden the analysis beyond perspectives of strategic political communication and deliberative democracy. The research questions I will attend to are how Nina uses social networking sites in her election campaign, and if social networking sites have an influence over the electorates information gathering and opinion formation. The method for empirical data gathering is (n)ethnographic, complemented with data from a regional quantitative study. The results suggest that Nina uses of social networking sites mostly for negotiating her political persona

Changing Political Attitudes towards Media Accountability in Sweden
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Central European Journal of Communication. - 1899-5101. ; 5:2, s. 205-224
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Considering the changes in media and in society that have occurred since the heyday of the Democratic corporatist model, with its strong emphasis on institutionalised self-regulation of the press (Hallin & Mancini, 2004), this article examines changes in attitudes towards media accountability measures among policymakers. Attitudes prevalent in the peak years of political pressure on the media system in the Democratic corporatist countries are compared with the attitudes existing today. The data studied are printed minutes of media debates in the Swedish Parliament in the 196os and similar debates during the last years, Sweden being a typical country for the model. The comparison indicates that both the views on media deficiencies and the views on remedies have changed over the last 40 years. Accountability measures are still in demand, although more through governance than from government.
