(Gingras, 2012)1 Journalists were once defined by where they worked; in newspapers, or radio and television stations. Now, the internet promises everyone, everywhere can be a publisher. But not everyone has the skills or training to be a journalist; defined by their professional practices and codes of ethics. -
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. -

JOURNALISM AT THE CROSSROADS OF THE ALGORITHMIC TURN O JORNALISMO NA ENCRUZILHada DO ‘ALGORITHMIC TURN’ FRANCISCO RUI CÁDIMA Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas. Centro de Investigação em Comunicação e Cultura Digital (CIC.Digital NOVA FCSH), Lisboa, Portugal [email protected] Recebido / Received / Recibido:26/06/2017 Aceite /Accepted /Aceptación: 16/10/2017 ABSTRACT At the beginning of the digital age new and complex problems for media system, in particular for journalism, are setting up. 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. Estes são novos sistemas algorítmi- cos de gestão de informação que se tornam também autênticos “gatekeepers” de notícias. Este “algorithmic turn” é assim um grande desafio para o futuro do jornalismo cujos problemas e consequências abordamos mais detalhada- mente neste artigo. -

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0. Introduction Community media has been defined by different scholars in many different ways to reflect varying opinions and understanding of the concept as it has been developing over the years. The concept of community is generally new, especially in Zambia where Community media have only been in existence for just over two decades. Despite this, there are assumptions that community media are beginning to benefit local communities through gradual removal of barriers to social inclusion, stimulation of poverty alleviation through access to knowledge of better health, education, resource management, agriculture practices and the creation of new livelihood opportunities (UNESCO Evaluation Report 2006). But there was need during the study to critically examine whether this assumption reflects the situation on the ground in areas where the concept of local community media has been implemented in Zambia. This chapter, therefore, defines community media in general from a variety of perspectives and further gives an overview to the background of the study. The background of community media in Zambia with regards to newspapers, television and radio is also examined in general. The study is, however, about community radio hence the focus will specifically be on community radio. The chapter will give the background to community radio in some parts of the world in general and in Zambia in particular and further look at the history of Chikuni Parish as well as Chikuni Radio station in the context of the broader study theme. 1 1.1. Background of the study 1.1.1. Community media As earlier stated, community media has been defined by different scholars in many different ways to reflect varying opinions and understanding of the concept as it has been developing over the years. -

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.
