Notes on Presentation for ‘Remaking (Digital) News’
Symposium, Northwestern University, 11 April 2015.
Pablo Boczkowski & Eugenia Mitchelstein: Scholarship …
Major Strides in 25 Years
• Trojan Horse Threat to the Field
• Burgeoning Source of Scholarly Research on Journalism
Interdisciplinary
• Problem Focused
• Theories from Different Fields
• Methodologically Pragmatic, from Ethnography to Big Data
BUT Importing v Exporting Ideas
• Problem for Communication Research Generally
• Key Issue / Goal for this Field: Another Level of Impact
Rodney Benson: Searching for a Good Explanation
• Framing explanatory v descriptive questions
• But, arguably lack facts relative to theory (Galbraith)
New Descriptivism
• Add ‘Interesting’? [Murray S. Davis, 1971]
• Debate Generalizing: Cases Generate Theory v Validate
• Beware of ‘Simplify and Exaggerate’ – Anon. v Research
Four Criteria for Good Explanations
• Techno-economic determinism v prof ethics and civic morals
• Democratic elitism & populism – bringing the audience back
‘Cultural Power’ Jeff Alexander – a model?
Chris Anderson: Technology without History
Ahistorical Research
• Techno Determinism Prioritizes Focus on the Future
• Internet Studies Facing Similar Issues, but Visions Matter
• Growing Significance will Erode this Limitation
Historical Amnesia
• Innovation Amnesia – Dutton (1995)
• Functional in Fields (video phone, videotext, online news)
Complementary Historical Perspectives
• Innis, McLuhan, et al
• Add Bell (codification) re algorithms and computational analytics, Castells?
Ethnography v History – Multiple Methods
• Persisting Culture of Journalism
• Organizational Time Travel an Intriguing Focus
Pablo Boczkowski & Eugenia Mitchelstein: Moving Beyond
Market & Historical Context
• New Business Models
• Historical Perspectives innovation (Reuters – from carrier pigeons to digital; whistleblowing)
Journalistic Practices
• Field Work to Screen Work
• Fact Finding to Information Curation
• Acceleration, Immediacy, Always Available (Wacjman ‘Pressed for Time’)
Professional Dynamics
• More Open and Transparent Organizations
• Accountability (4th and 5th Estate, whistleblowing)
• Distinguishing Networked Institutions ‘Journalism’ v Networked Individuals?
Relation with Audiences
• We Know What People Read
• People telling media what to think about – transforming agenda-setting
• Dynamics of Gatekeeping in Science, Organizations, Education, …
Deciding
What’s
Scholarship
Interesting?
Explanatory?
In Context
but Not
Ephemeral?
Sound
Innovative
Methods?
Significant
for and
beyond
Journalism?
