4. Five elements to take
into account...
....when analyzing audience generated journalistic content:
*Audiences
*Journalists
* Contents
*Tools
*Context
The Power of the Press
5. The people formerly known as the audience
- Who are those creating media content?
- Where are they located?
- Are they representative of a whole population?
?
- Who is consuming user-generated content?
- What are the effects and impacts of the
consumption of user-generated content?
6. Journalists have
something to say
“The manner in which journalists imagine their audience has public
consequences.” C.W. Anderson (2012)
10. Conclusions
Audiences are not an abstract element
Who are the audiences of the audiences?
Journalists should be an object of study
User-generated content needs to be analyzed
Tools have a corporate side
The context matters - Generalizations are dangerous!
