The rise of social media has spawned private news organizations in China that are encountering problems regarding how to gain public and journalistic acceptance and recognition as newcomers and how to survive without a news license. Drawing on organizational legitimacy theory, this paper investigates the strategies employed by private news organizations to construct multiple layers of legitimacy including regulatory, normative and cognitive legitimacy in China's unique context and the social media era. Based on in-depth interviews with 20 practitioners of private news organizations and participant observation in one private news agency, findings showed that private news organizations (1) gain regulatory legitimacy through news production methods including “misplacing registration”, “playing with official hats” and “depoliticization”; (2) establish normative legitimacy by emphasizing their adherence to traditional journalistic values, norms, and routines, and their similarities to state-owned media; (3) obtain cognitive legitimacy through the creation of “hot news” with reliance on professional reputation. This study thereby explores these strategies to reflect the path of “dependent autonomy” of private news organizations and provides an institutional and organizational perspective to understand the constraints and characteristics of social media journalism in China.

ABSTRACTFollowing the early twenty-first Century’s “age of apologies,” news organizations have been among the institutions apologizing for their historical role in promoting racist rhetoric by directly addressing their inherent racialized biases. Guided by literature on organizational and racial apologia bolstered by the theory of “institutional myth”, this study analyzes 13 apologies published by 12 media organizations to understand how they are performing and communicating reparative actions towards communities of color. Despite their long role in promoting harmful stereotypes and in some cases a complete erasure of narrative from communities of color, news organizations presented “surface-level” apologies that paved the initial path to reconciliation. However, these organizations vigorously defend and uphold the institutional myth of established journalism norms and practices that have been instrumental in their failures, which have led to these apologies. We argue that the reparative work of journalism needs to start by creating an inclusive journalistic paradigm that centers on the ideologies and voices of all groups within our society.KEYWORDS: Newspaper apologyreparative journalisminstitutional mythjournalism historyracial apologiaorganizational apology Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTAdvertising-supported journalism, conventionally referred to as “commercial news,” is in decline. Efforts to make sense of this fact have been hampered by the narrow assumption that commercial news is merely a business model. It is that, but it is also a distinctive cultural form of news, one that consists of purposes, definitions of news, modes of address, and practices of newsgathering that are specific to the form. Drawing on a review of the secondary literature as well as an analysis of news content from four commercially oriented news outlets, it is shown that this form of news has existed since the 1700s, and that many of the elements that make up the form have persisted ever since. Approaching commercial news in this way does not provide easy answers to questions raised by its decline. However, it does help scholars ask better questions about this remarkable transition in news production.KEYWORDS: Commercial newsadvertising-supported journalismcultural formnews productionmodern newshistory of news Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
