·9· CONCLUSION A Social News Media Network Conclusion Conclusion The first decades of the new millennium have seen further fundamental trans- formations of the practices and processes through which we generate and en- gage with the news, and online and social media have been central to these transformations to an extent that we could now speak of the thoroughly in- tegrated complex that includes conventional news organisations, alternative and citizen media outlets, professional and citizen journalists, industry and freelance newsmakers, dedicated social news curators and ordinary social me- dia users, as a social news media network. Social media have clearly been crucial drivers of these transformations. In the industry, “a ‘new’ dynamic of newsgathering, production and dissemi- nation is taking shape that affects journalistic practices” (Heinrich 2008: 3), while amongst news users “there is a growing demand for more open, accessi- ble and informative news media. People like journalism so much they are pre- pared to help create it themselves—for free” (Beckett 2010: 3). This has led to the central role that social media now play in the context of breaking news events, as we have seen in Chapter 3, and to the habitual, demotic everyday newssharing practices that are enabling social media to become an increas- ingly important source of news for a growing share of Internet users, which we examined in Chapter 4; it has also forced journalists to develop strategies Axel Bruns - 9781433133213 Downloaded from PubFactory at 09/24/2021 03:42:45PM via free access 350 GATEWATCHING AND NEWS CURATION for engaging more directly with their readers and viewers by developing their personal social media presences, as outlined in Chapter 5, to an extent that would have been unthinkable during the first wave of citizen media; and it has led the news industry as a whole to confront social media as a tertiary space beyond its own imprints in which user engagement with the news must be an- ticipated, should be addressed, and can be measured, as shown in Chapter 6. -
Is Wikileaks Challenging the Paradigm of Journalism? Boundary Work and Beyond
International Journal of Communication 8 (2014), Feature 2581–2592 1932–8036/2014FEA0002 Is WikiLeaks Challenging the Paradigm of Journalism? Boundary Work and Beyond KARIN WAHL-JORGENSEN Cardiff University, Wales Introduction WikiLeaks exists in a peculiar and illustrative tension with journalism that dramatizes larger unfolding debates about the authority, status, and future of journalism. This article explores what the WikiLeaks saga can tell us, in a broader sense, about pressing anxieties of the journalism profession and, relatedly, the discipline of journalism studies. The article explores how journalists and journalism scholars have discussed the revelations of WikiLeaks as well as the organization itself. I suggest that, whereas some observers have argued that WikiLeaks heralds a radical transformation in understandings of journalism, others are keen to see it as just another source—a phenomenon easily subsumed under existing definitions of journalism and deployed in its service. The article investigates the ways in which WikiLeaks challenges conventional paradigms of news coverage insofar as it provides—and publishes—the investigative materials that journalists themselves usually take pride in uncovering. Through this activity, the organization’s emergence reflects larger developments representing a shake-up in conventional hierarchies of voice and access to the public sphere. At the same time, WikiLeaks has also served as a novel and unique type of news source, and the ambiguous figure of Julian Assange has been variously appropriated in news narratives as a heroic defender of free expression—described as a courageous whistleblower willing to speak truth to power on the one hand, and an autistic renegade, recluse, and alleged rapist on the other (e.g., Rusbridger, 2011, p. -

New York: Viking Press, 2003. xxiv + 792 pp. Diarmaid MacCulloch. The Reformation: A History. New York: Viking, 2003. xxiv + 750 pp. $34.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-670-03296-9; $20.00 (paper), ISBN 978-0-14-303538-1. Reviewed by Susan Wabuda (Department of History, Fordham University) Published on H-Albion (November, 2005) Reformation Resurgens The Reformation was such a startling break in the cultural and political fabric of Europe that it has often had to be understood in slices. So vast in its consequences, historians and theologians have frequently chosen to explore it in terms of their own discreet specialties. The lives and writings of its leaders, and the efforts of its opponents, have been examined in countless works. Nearly every religious affiliation has used it to focus on its own history, until the Reformation has sometimes seemed like a hostage to denominational studies. To explore the entire breadth of the Reformation without partiality or favor, to come to grips with the challenges of source material that stretches across several linguistic boundaries, and to deal with the historiographical and denominational issues of interpretation, are all enormous tasks. In The Reformation, Diarmaid MacCulloch has written a superb, nuanced account of what he terms "the greatest fault line to appear in Christian culture since the Latin and Greek halves of the Roman Empire went their separate ways a thousand years before" (p. xviii). As an editor of The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, one of the premier quarterlies in the field, MacCulloch is well placed to survey that fault line through the latest scholarly trends. -
