  • 19 Mapping the Citizen News Landscape: Blurring Boundaries, Promises, Perils, and Beyond
    An Nguyen and Salvatore Scifo 19 Mapping the Citizen News Landscape: Blurring Boundaries, Promises, Perils, and Beyond Abstract: This chapter offers a necessary critical overview of citizen journalism in its many forms and shapes, with a focus on its promises and perils and what it means for the future of news. We will start with a review of the concept of “citizen journalism” and its many alternative terms, then move to briefly note the long history of citizen journalism, which dates back to the early days of the printing press. This will be followed by our typology of three major forms of citizen journal- ism (CJ) – citizen witnessing, oppositional CJ, and expertise-based CJ – along with an assessment of each form’s primary actions, motives, functions, and influences. The penultimate part of the chapter will focus on CJ’s flaws and pitfalls – especially the mis/disinformation environment it fosters and the “dialogue of the deaf” it engenders – and place them in the context of the post-truth era to highlight the still critical need for professional journalists. The chapter concludes with a brief review of the understandably but unnecessarily uneasy relationship between citi- zen and professional journalism and calls for the latter to adopt a new attitude to work well with the former. Keywords: citizen journalism, alternative journalism, citizen witnessing, social media, fake news, post-truth 1 One thing, many labels? Within a short time, citizen journalism (CJ) went from something of a novelty to a naturalized part of the news ecosystem and entered the daily language of journal- ists, journalism educators, and a large segment of the global public.

  • Pathways to Engagement: Understanding How Newsrooms Are Working with Communities
    PUBLIC SQUARE PROGRAM Pathways to Engagement: Understanding How Newsrooms are Working with Communities BY ANGELICA DAS EDITED BY JESSICA CLARK MARCH 2017 PREFACE Journalists are working with their communities in a range of new ways that are reshaping how newsrooms report, publish, and pay the bills. This emerging trend has roots in past journalism industry movements but has taken on unique contours in the digital age. As Democracy Fund seeks to support new tools and practices that can expand community engagement in journalism, we wanted to understand the landscape of the field in more detail. We commissioned this paper to help us create a taxonomy of engagement practices. In this paper, we have documented a broad spectrum of efforts that help position communities at the center of journalism. Different approaches are outlined, along with useful examples from the field. We don’t seek to prioritize or rank these different models, but rather understand that each meets different newsroom goals and community needs. Together, we refer to the full spectrum of ideas presented here as “Engaged Journalism.” Engagement is an emergent practice in journalism although it has been explored and debated for years in other fields, which have invested greatly in documenting, training, and supporting innovation and best practices. But as newsrooms grapple with these ideas anew, it is to be expected that the language they use will be a bit of a contested terrain. It is in language where we hash out the core ideas that shape how we operate in the world. We undertook this study of engagement to clarify our own thinking, not to enforce a uniformity on others.

This man spent hundreds of hours advising me on this dissertation. He is a rare professor who genuinely wants to see his students do the very best work possible, even if that means a great deal of extra time and effort for him. It would have required much less work for him to advise a mediocre dissertation, but he wanted me to be excellent. He often sent me emails on the weekends after looking through my drafts, and sacrificed much of his own research time to invest in me. There was never a time that he was too busy to talk with me. He is a fiercely rational man who kept me focused on the task at hand throughout, reminding me that it was not fruitful to be frustrated or apathetic. There were numerous times when he should have been outwardly frustrated with me, but he always managed to guide me in a clear and direct manner.

    RISJ CHALLENGES CHALLENGES International news reporting is undergoing a profound transformation. Western Are Foreign Correspondents Redundant? Correspondents Foreign Are newspapers and broadcasters have steadily cut back on foreign correspondents and reporting over the last 20 years in the face of economic pressures. Now Are Foreign Correspondents technology and cultural changes brought by globalisation are bringing additional pressures to news organisations and the internet has also allowed new voices to be heard. News organisations are having to adapt and redefine themselves in the face of turbulent changes to how we learn about the world.
