In the current hybrid media environment, politicians have manifold opportunities to be in contact with voters during elections. Legacy news media still constitute an important campaign tool for politi- cians, but a range of social media have gained ground in electoral campaigning over the last decades as well. Against this backdrop, the aim of this study is to shed further light on politicians’ campaign practices in a hybrid communication environment, and whether the introduction of social media have introduced new dynamics into election campaigns. The study does so through a case study of Dan- ish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and opposition party leader Alex Vanopslagh’s social media campaigns and online news pres- ence during the 2022 national election. The study finds that Freder- iksen was more in the news during the election than Vanopslagh, but that social media was central in both campaigns. However, Van- opslagh was on a broader set of social media and to a greater extent capitalised on the platform affordances than Frederiksen.

The study explores the perspectives of political parties regarding news media coverage in election campaigns. By analyzing official post-election analyses produced by Swedish political parties from 2010 to 2022, the study offers a novel approach to the study of political party views of news media. The findings largely support the arguments proposed by mediatization literature, highlighting the significance of media in party communication. Parties display eagerness to attract positive media attention while expressing regret over inadequate or negative publicity. More surprisingly, there is a lack of references to media bias in the reports, suggesting that the hostile media effect is not a major concern among Swedish parties. Despite criticisms related to irrelevant reporting and perceived negative coverage, party perceptions towards the media remains predominantly neutral. The study contributes to the understanding of the complex relationship between political parties and news media in the context of election campaigns.

Tredjepersonsfortælleren er det naturlige førstevalg i fortællende journalistik, men påfaldende lidt studeret i journalistikforskningen. Hvor den journalistiske førstepersonsfortæller i flere nyere studier har været genstand for interesse i såvel nordisk som international sammenhæng, måske netop fordi ”jeg”-formen er et mere kontroversielt valg i journalistik, har tredjepersonfortælleren endnu til gode at tiltrække den samme opmærksomhed. I denne artikel introducerer vi derfor et retorisk-narratologisk blik på tredjepersonsfortælleren og dennes funktioner i fortællende journalistik. Med afsæt i tre eksempler på nyere nordisk fortællende journalistik viser vi hvordan tredjepersonsfortælleren kan træde mere elle mindre tydeligt frem i journalistiske fortællinger alt efter i hvilken grad fortælleren varetager fortællerfunktionerne at berette, fortolke og vurdere på henholdsvis direkte og indirekte vis. Artiklens begrebsapparat og analyser tjener til at tydeliggøre tredjepersonfortællerens betydning som narrativ ressource i fortællende journalistisk og dens samspil med de øvrige narrative ressourcer fortællende journalister har til deres rådighed.

This article zooms in on the sociotechnical imaginaries within the discourse on digital storytelling as journalistic innovation in the Netherlands. It analyzes how digital storytelling is discussed since 2015 on the online platforms of the Dutch Journalism Fund and the Dutch Association of Journalists, two central intermediary organizations within the Dutch journalistic landscape that play a vital role in the debate about journalistic innovation and journalism’s future. My analysis shows that this discourse provides a rather one-dimensional and uniform sociotechnical imaginary that presents the future as one in which digital-savvy news consumers can only be engaged through a more captivating way of reporting, allowing for more interactivity and forms of storytelling that draws them into the story on an experiential and emotional level. The techno-centric focus reinforces the already prevalent understanding of journalistic innovation as primarily a matter of mastering and exploiting the digital affordances of new technological tools and platforms without questioning or problematizing how this impacts journalism’s professional ethics and subsequently its cultural authority.
本文放大了荷兰关于数字故事作为新闻创新的讨论中的社会技术想象。文章分析了自 2015 年以来，荷兰新闻基金（Dutch Journalism Fund）和荷兰记者协会（Dutch Association of Journalists）的在线平台是如何讨论数字叙事的，这两个组织是荷兰新闻界的核心中介组织，在有关新闻创新和新闻业未来的讨论中发挥着重要作用。我的分析表明，这种论述提供了一种相当单一的、千篇一律的社会技术想象，将未来描绘成精通数字技术的新闻消费者只能通过更有吸引力的报道方式参与其中，允许更多的互动和故事讲述形式，从体验和情感层面将他们吸引到故事中来。这种以技术为中心的关注点强化了人们对新闻创新的普遍理解，即新闻创新主要是掌握和利用新技术工具和平台的数字功能，而不是质疑或探讨这如何影响新闻业的职业道德，进而影响其文化权威。

Alternative media are defined by their position as challengers of mainstream media and politics alike. However, recent studies suggest that they act out their opposition to mainstream media and their political partisanship in different ways. Against this backdrop, the study at hand investigates how 12 Danish alternative media construct and position themselves against the media- and political mainstream. The study identifies substantial differences regarding the outlets’ commitment to or rejection of the ethical rules and norms of professional journalism, whether they adopt or deviate from a neutral journalistic style, what ideological agendas they advocate, their political ties, and the media- and political criticism they voice. In doing so, the study adds to a growing body of research suggesting that alternative media are a heterogeneous group. Based on these findings, the study discusses the different potentials for impact that alternative media have on the media- and political systems they enter.
