– note: these are as a rule weighted by population, so their estimates are based on the full nordic population of journalists. Note that the N for country might appear as wrong because of this

6 Chapter 3: Nordic journalistic fields/cultures: An overview

  • argues that roles and influences can be used to sketch the overall Nordic journalistic field and its national sub-fields following the logic and methodology (MFA) in Hovden (2023) and H&V, but with new data.
  • Bourdiesian theory and terminology (fields), but this is not problematic vis-a-vis other chapters use of role theory etc.
  • discusses overall national differences, and how journalists positions are related to experience, position, gender, beat, reach, type of publication etc.
  • excerpts from some analyses of WJS3 follows

6.1 Interpretation of axes (Nordic WJS3 roles and influences)

  • Axis 1: General strength of norms (esp. advocacy roles) and influences

– no significant suppl. variables, might indicate this is a methdological artifact and that focus should be on axis 2 and 3

  • Axis 2: Public sphere vs private sphere

– particularly link to advocacy role

– opposes full-time and freelancers

– opposes general journalists vs culture journ

  • Axis 3: Market vs Non-market (?)

– Denmark vs Finland and Norway

– Political vs cultural beat

6.2

  • this suggests 3-5 important dimensions

7 PART II

  • Demography & Recruitment, Influences, Roles, Ethics
  • I suggest that these chapters should a similar structure and some common methdological elements
    1. PCA (map of differences in the variables set and supplementary variables for country, gender, beat etc.) and interpretation of main differences and 2) national tables of means and standard deviations
  • for the latter we could add a Nordic total (WJS3) changes in percent points from Nordic total (WJS2). Needs to be weighted to account for Nordic journalistic population.

8 Chapter: Demography

9 Chapter: Influences and autonomy

[1] "Number of components: 6"

9.1 (semi-automatic) Description of axes

9.1.1 Dimension 1

  • Opposes individuals with high business and economic influences to those prioritizing journalistic autonomy and monitoring roles.
  • Group 1 (Positive side):
  • High values for Profit Expectations, Business Managers, Owners, Audience Research, and Advertising Considerations.
  • Low values for weight (indicating those with more business-driven values have a lower overall presence in the sample).
  • Related to Hanitzsch’s Economic and Organizational Influence: Emphasis on commercial pressures and financial considerations.
  • Group 2 (Also Positive):
  • High values for Business People, Government Officials, Politicians, and Police.
  • Low values for Shining Light on Society’s Problems, Scrutiny, Counteracting Disinformation, and Providing Information.
  • Related to Political and Organizational Influence: These journalists are more affected by external power structures and governmental interactions.
  • Group 3 (Negative side):
  • High values for weight, Monitor and Scrutinize, and Shine a Light on Society’s Problems.
  • Low values for Business Managers, Government Officials, Politicians, and Profit Expectations.
  • Related to Professional and Personal Influence: This group represents journalists who emphasize traditional watchdog roles and public service.

9.1.2 Dimension 2

  • Distinguishes economic and business-driven values from ethical and social-driven journalism.
  • Group 1 (Positive side):
  • High values for Profit Expectations, Business Managers, Owners, and Audience Research.
  • Related to Economic and Organizational Influence: Business-centered journalism.
  • Group 2 (Negative side):
  • High values for Monitor and Scrutinize, Shine a Light on Society’s Problems.
  • Low values for Business Managers, Politicians, and Profit Expectations.
  • Related to Professional and Personal Influence: These journalists prioritize scrutiny, ethics, and investigative reporting.

9.1.3 Dimension 3

  • Distinguishes between journalists influenced by economic and business considerations and those emphasizing ethics, access to information, and personal beliefs.
  • Group 1 (Positive side):
  • High values for Journalism Ethics, Access to Information, and Counteracting Disinformation.
  • Related to Professional Influence: This group aligns with traditional journalistic ideals of truth and integrity.
  • Group 2 (Negative side):
  • High values for Profit Expectations, Business Managers, Government Censorship, and Audience Research.
  • Related to Economic and Political Influence: These journalists are shaped by economic and political constraints.

9.1.4 Dimension 4

  • Distinguishes journalists with strong peer influence and audience feedback from those influenced by governmental and editorial policies.
  • Group 1 (Positive side):
  • High values for Colleagues in Other Media, Friends & Family, Feedback from Audience.
  • Related to Personal and Organizational Influence: Stronger social networks and horizontal influence.
  • Group 2 (Negative side):
  • High values for Media Laws, Journalism Ethics, Government Censorship, and Editorial Policy.
  • Related to Organizational and Political Influence: These journalists operate in a more controlled and regulated environment.

9.1.5 Conclusion

Each PCA dimension aligns with Hanitzsch’s typology of journalistic influences: 1. Economic Influence → Profit expectations, advertising, business managers. 2. Organizational Influence → Editorial policy, competition, access to information. 3. Political Influence → Government officials, censorship, politicians. 4. Professional Influence → Ethics, scrutiny, counteracting disinformation. 5. Personal Influence → Colleagues, audience feedback, relationships.

10.2 (semiautomated) Summary

10.2.1 Dimension 1: Autonomy vs. External Influence

  • Opposes journalists emphasizing professional autonomy and watchdog roles to those influenced by external actors (politicians, business leaders).
  • Positive side: Journalists prioritizing economic and political influences, aligning with Hanitzsch’s Economic and Political role dimensions (e.g., prioritizing profit motives, governmental and corporate stakeholders).
  • Negative side: Journalists focusing on professional autonomy, investigative reporting, and critical scrutiny, aligning with Hanitzsch’s Monitorial role.

10.2.2 Dimension 2: Market-Driven vs. Public Service Orientation

  • Distinguishes journalists emphasizing audience engagement and entertainment from those focusing on informing the public.
  • Positive side: Journalists prioritizing market-driven roles, emphasizing attracting audiences, entertainment, and branding (related to Hanitzsch’s Populist Disseminator role).
  • Negative side: Journalists oriented toward public service and traditional information roles, focusing on providing critical news and civic information (Hanitzsch’s Civic role).

10.2.3 Dimension 3: Advocacy vs. Detached Reporting

  • Separates journalists who engage in advocacy journalism from those adhering to neutral, detached reporting.
  • Positive side: Journalists engaging in advocacy, social justice reporting, and issue-driven journalism (aligned with Hanitzsch’s Interventionist role).
  • Negative side: Journalists committed to objectivity, neutrality, and detached reporting, favoring a minimal intervention approach (Hanitzsch’s Detached Observer role).
