  • The Vision Unsplendid for Australian Newspapers
    Hold the Presses: The vision unsplendid for _. Australian newspapers Bruce Montgomery Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Tasmania January 2009 Declaration of originality This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution except by way of background information and is duly acknowledged in the thesis, and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. Bruce Montgomery - ii - Statement of authority of access This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance - iii - Abstract The destiny of Australian newspapers and the journalists who work for them came into sharp focus in August 2008 when Fairfax Media announced it was cutting five per cent of its Australian and New Zealand workforce. At the same time it flagged it would be outsourcing some editorial production, notably the sub-editing of non-news pages, to private contractors. Fairfax's cost-cutting measures illustrate the extent to which the survival of some of our biggest newspapers is threatened by the modem medium of the Internet. This thesis synthesises and assesses the views of notable players in the news industry on the future of Australian newspapers. Its concern is the future of the print platform per se, not the likely structure and future output of today's newspaper companies.

The Flint water crisis is a textbook case in which these two institutions failed to live up to their responsibilities of accountability and transparency. The authors examine the major events during the water crisis, looking at it through the lens of government ac- tions and how the press covered them, conducting qualitative context analysis during the first five months of the crisis.

  • Political Corruption, News Deserts, and the Decline of the Fourth Estate
    No News is Bad News: Political Corruption, News Deserts, and the Decline of the Fourth Estate Ted Matherly ORCID: 0000-0002-8628-1004 Tulane University New Orleans, LA 70118 [email protected] Brad N. Greenwood1 ORCID: 0000-0002-0772-7814 George Mason University Fairfax, VA 22030 [email protected] Keywords: Newspaper closure, corruption, news deserts, difference in difference, journalism Author Contributions: Each Author Contributed Equally to this Work 1 Corresponding Author 1 Abstract The newspaper industry is perhaps the most notable casualty of the rise of the digital age. In this work, we examine how the decline of local reporting capacity influences local levels of political corruption. As newspapers are an important investigative arm of local communities, it is possible that the decline of community media will embolden corrupt actors who believe they are less likely to be detected following the closure of a local newspaper. To examine these relationships, we leverage a novel dataset of federal charging documents of corruption and daily newspaper closures using a difference in difference approach. Results indicate a significant rise in federal corruption charges when major newspapers close in a federal district. Strikingly, we observe no evidence that the rise in online newsvendors is able to ameliorate this effect. This highlights the important role of the “fourth estate” in inhibiting corruption in governance. Significance Statement The increased connectivity afforded by the internet has led to a striking change in how people source their news. Whereas persons were once relegated to gathering information from their local paper and television outlets, they may now collect information from global content producers, hyper-partisan outlets, and unvetted online sources which are readily provided through social media platforms.

Online platforms – the new digital intermediaries - are introducing automated systems for distributing con- tent and information through technologies that control access to online news via search engines, news aggregators and social networks. These are new al- gorithmic systems of information and news management that become authen- tic “gatekeepers” of the news. This “algorithmic turn” is a great challenge for the future of journalism whose problems and consequences we address in more detail in this paper. KEYWORDS Journalism; Pluralism; Digital platforms; Algorithms RESUMO Neste início da era digital estão a emergir novos e complexos problemas para o sistema de media, e muito em particular para o jornalismo. As plata- formas on-line - os novos intermediários digitais - estão a introduzir sistemas automatizados para distribuição de conteúdo e informação através de tecnolo- gias que controlam o acesso às notícias on-line, através de motores de busca, agregadores de notícias e redes sociais.

  • Why Newspaper Markets Are Growing in China and India, While They
    Why newspaper markets… Paolo Hooke Why newspaper markets growth and demand from an emerging urban and literate middle class that is enjoying higher incomes and rising standards of living. are growing in China and In China, newspapers have evolved from being the ‘tongue and throat’ of the Communist Party to being commercialised. This development means that while newspapers in China will not challenge the Party, they are asking lots India, while they decline of questions, so the country is more open as a result. In India, the growth of a popular vernacular press is skewed to entertainment, in the US and UK scandal, gossip and sports with some coverage of public affairs; which while not being a perfect development, supplements what the Indian media system has offered to the country’s citizens in the past. Abstract This is no time for fatalism or simplistic predictions of the supposed ‘death of the newspaper’ with the Internet cast as the chief villain.

  • Local Newspapers, Facebook and Local Civic Engagement a Study of Media Use in Two Norwegian Communities
    NORDICOM REVIEW Local Newspapers, Facebook and Local Civic Engagement A Study of Media Use in Two Norwegian Communities Malene Paulsen Lie Abstract The European decline in newspaper circulation has fuelled debates on the consequences for civic engagement and democratic participation. Based on a qualitative interview study with 29 inhabitants of two Norwegian communities, this article examines the importance of the local press and of Facebook in the civic actions of ordinary citizens. Overall, the study suggests that both media are important and enable citizens’ involvement in collec- tive problem-solving. However, their importance lies on different levels, as the two media play complementary roles: Whilst Facebook’s networking possibilities enable new forms of online volunteering and mobilisation, the local press constitutes a shared public sphere in which interviewees can gather information and create awareness of local happenings, politics and volunteering. Keywords: democratic participation, community engagement, local press, social media, qualitative interviews Introduction Following a decline in local press circulation throughout Europe, debates within media studies largely revolve around “doomsday scenarios” (Broersma & Peters 2017) and “crisis talk” (Zelizer 2015) concerning the wider consequences for civic engagement and democratic participation. Civic participation is often held as an indication of a well- functioning democracy (de Tocqueville 1835/2001; Bellah et al. 1985), and research demonstrates that newspaper readership might positively affect the degree of civic engagement amongst a population (McLeod et al. 1999; Kang & Kwak 2003; Moy et al. 2004). The press has been shown to play an important role in community building (Janowitz 1952; Finnengan & Viswanath 1985; Friedland & McLeod 1999; Chen et al.
