Abstract

New patterns of journalistic endeavour have altered the ways in which news and information reach the public, with new technologies enabling new types of journalistic actors to produce news both on their own and in collaborative arrangements with traditional journalists. From these intersections, new questions for understanding journalism amid change ask whether we are facing a fractured or more consolidated journalistic field. This article explores intersections of traditional and emergent news actors as disruptions to the dominant vision of the field. It shows the treatment of autonomous work of digital interlopers in news texts as reinforcing prevailing views of journalism by invoking traditional information authority and paradigmatic news-source relationships. Using field theory and analysis of narratives of journalistic roles in news texts to support its thesis, this article looks at reactions to the emergence of two independent news actors - WikiLeaks and ProPublica - representing distinct approaches to newswork born of a digital age. In its conclusion, this article outlines the initial framework for an 'appropriation thesis' that extends paradigm repair in instances when new journalistic actors' newswork is subsumed under traditional routines, thereby muting narratives of a heterogeneous field that would contradict the field's dominant vision and authority.

修复一个断裂的领域:新闻工作交叉点的合作、规范化和挪用的动态
新闻工作的新模式改变了新闻和信息向公众传播的方式,新技术使新型的新闻工作者能够独立或与传统记者合作制作新闻。从这些交叉点出发,我们要理解变化中的新闻业的新问题是,我们面临的是一个分裂的还是更加统一的新闻领域。本文探讨了传统和新兴新闻演员的交叉点,作为对该领域主导视野的破坏。它显示了对新闻文本中数字闯入者自主工作的处理,通过援引传统的信息权威和范例新闻来源关系,强化了新闻业的主流观点。本文运用现场理论和对新闻文本中新闻角色叙述的分析来支持自己的论点,着眼于对两个独立新闻角色——维基解密和ProPublica——的出现的反应,这两个新闻角色代表了数字时代诞生的不同新闻工作方式。在其结论中,本文概述了“挪用论文”的初始框架,该论文在新新闻演员的新闻工作被纳入传统惯例的情况下扩展了范式修复,从而使异质领域的叙述变得沉默,这将与该领域的主导视野和权威相矛盾。
