This research explores visibility of Kenyan women Members of Parliament (MPs) in newspapers news between 2013 and 2017 – a non-election period. Within the backdrop of coverage based on news values, the study examines whether non-institutional characteristics (ethnic group size and seniority), and institutional attributes (party size and political leadership) predicted the coverage of 68 female legislators. And under the context of media as a mirror of political reality, it investigates if criticizing national government, commenting on corruption and devolution determined their appearance in national newspapers’ news. Findings indicate that commenting on corruption, criticizing national government, and seniority were the main predictors of the MPs’ newspapers reportage.

In the intricate realm of international affairs, the relationship between foreign correspondents of The New York Times (NYT) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) can be likened to a refined tango, where the worlds of journalism and espionage converge. This study, inspired by this metaphor, delves into the complex relationship between the NYT and the CIA that spans two generations of the Sulzberger family. Drawing from the “James Reston Papers,” it examines how these two prominent entities, the NYT and the CIA, navigated the intricate interplay of mutual dependence, conflicting interests, and the delicate balance between transparency and secrecy while vying for influence. Furthermore, it sheds light on the clandestine connections that bind the realms of media and intelligence, which have left a significant mark on the landscape of American journalism.

This article reflects on the genesis, value, and limits of an experimental project aiming to challenge the production of stereotypes in news production. Specifically, I discuss the development of a tool - the Africa Stereotype Scanner – designed for journalists to analyze the linguistic content of their articles, identify stereotypes and frames, and reflect on their writing practices. I explain how this project was born from an iterative dialogue between critical scholarship and journalistic practice. Beyond a too familiar scholar-journalist rift, I outline how this project sought to break down epistemological boundaries between journalism and academia. This collaborative project, I argue, provides an example of how critical research can seek to enhance journalistic reporting and, dialectically, how an engagement with the field leads to new questions and invites another type of knowledge production. This critique-in-the-loop model paves the way for critical journalism scholarship that wrestles further with its normative foundations, elucidates its practical implications, and plays a role in generative interventions.

This study examines journalism’s role in bridging divides by presenting diverse perspectives in societal debates. While prior research has emphasized the significance of diverse news content, this study investigates how audiences perceive and value such diversity and its impact on their attitudes. Through an online experiment in the Flemish (Belgian) context, it was found that actor diversity is more noticeable, yet increasing diversity in actors and viewpoints does not enhance a news item’s perceived credibility. Moreover, although people are influenced in the direction of the viewpoint provided in a one-sided article, it appears that when a diversity of viewpoints is presented, people tend to primarily consider those opinions that already align with their pre-existing viewpoints. By gaining a deeper understanding of how audiences receive news coverage, journalists can critically evaluate the voices they present and contribute to a more diverse public debate.

Artificial Intelligence is a term used frequently in academic and other writing, but do we have a clear understanding of what it means? This article starts from first principles, taking a dialectic approach, to raise questions rather than give prescriptive answers. It unpacks some specific examples of the use of AI in journalism and automated approaches to news reporting. The manipulation of media has become commonplace and of greater interest as information itself can be used as an effective weapon to sow confusion and disruption, socially as well as politically. AI depends on the training data and modelling, but the sampling and engineering is done by humans with all the potential for bias, whether intentional or not. Biased datasets and the potential for uncertainty are constant dangers; we need to understand both the data and the processes that go into the AI-driven results, and always be prepared to question everything.

The radical role of media is about challenging norms, advocating for justice, and amplifying marginalized voices. One such group is the unhoused population. The media owe them a debt by perpetuating disempowering narratives and stereotypes about homelessness. This article examines the practices of unhoused individuals engaged in participatory community journalism and their implications for professional journalists. Based on over 3 years of participatory action and critical ethnography research in the Czech Republic and Colorado, it presents several lessons for journalists to learn from homeless journalists. The findings show that involving unhoused people in journalism can equalize inevitably unequal power relations and promote truth-seeking. The article highlights that the highest forms of media participation may not always be the most empowering, and instead, promoting dialogue through partnership is crucial. Ultimately, it calls on professional journalists to embrace the new radical role by critically examining their power and being open to sharing or giving it up for the benefit of marginalized voices.

Following the fall of ISIS in March 2019, thousands of women affiliated with the movement, along with their children, were brought to Kurdish-controlled camps in north-eastern Syria. Since then, an international, political, and juridical debate raged on regarding the repatriation of Western female detainees in the camps and their children. This paper aims to evaluate how Dutch and Belgian women in the Syrian camps have been framed by their national news media in the context of political discussions on their repatriation. Our qualitative framing analysis identifies six distinct framing packages: the criminal, terrorist, victim, regret, mother, and bad parent frames. Moreover, our analysis highlights how the frames, and their intersection with different modes of othering, shifted as the debate moved to the question of their repatriation. Finally, we also discuss differences in the framing, argumentation, and frame advocates between the two contexts.

In recent years, media researchers have displayed an increased interest in emotion as an element of the content in both news journalism and narrative journalism. These studies lack a theoretical definition of emotion and do not usually specify what characterizes narrative journalism more than it being “not objective” and, consequently, not similar to conventional journalism. In practice, they identify emotion through frames of personalization or explicit expressions of feelings and evaluations. However, narrative journalism integrates implicitly conveyed emotion. To enable a broader understanding of the function of emotion in narrative journalism, this article gives examples of and analyzes how emotion and the related concept subjectivity is used and discussed in two different fields of research: social sciences-influenced journalism studies and literature-influenced studies. The dualistic view on journalism as either subjective or objective is questioned when narrative journalism (also known as reportage or literary journalism) is placed in a professional context, where the genre is based on its own tradition and represents its own form of knowledge, due to its main characteristic: a narrative form. Finally, the article demonstrates how tools drawn from narratology can illuminate diverse storytelling techniques that transmit emotion implicitly rather than explicitly.

Journalists, it is widely admitted, are engaged in new forms of boundary work on social media platforms, seeking to uphold their influence over news dissemination. This study focuses on music festivals as a case study to examine journalists' endeavors in maintaining their authority on social media. We analyze Twitter coverage of music festivals in France during the summer of 2018, systematically collecting data from 16 festivals of varying sizes and musical genres. Through this analysis, we investigate journalists' engagement and evaluate the trading of authority with other stakeholders through mentioning practices. Our findings challenge the prevailing notion of journalists as primary arbiters of authority on social media platforms. Despite their conspicuous presence during music festivals on Twitter, journalists emerge as relatively passive participants compared to other stakeholders in the music scene. Moreover, their ability to assert or receive authority from the broader public sphere is limited. This study sheds light on the bounded nature of journalists' boundary work on social media platforms, emphasizing the evolving dynamics of authority within digital information ecosystems.

Political podcasts have captured a global audience and emerged as an important innovation space in journalism. One of the most popular formats is the ‘extended interview podcast’. This study employs conversation analysis to examine how this format has been used to facilitate more personal and informal encounters between journalists and politicians who are usually associated with the accountability news interview. BBC Radio 4’s podcast ‘ Political Thinking with Nick Robinson’ is used as a case study. The analysis shows that Political Thinking provides a discursive context for politicians to construct and perform their personal identities, in contrast to their traditionally more formalised political performance as institutional representatives. The looser structure of the podcast, relative to the tightly scheduled news interview, affords Robinson the discursive space for more reflexive handling of politicians’ personal narratives. Talk is mutually co-operative and conversational. Similarly to the celebrity talk show Political Thinking has an experiential focus, oriented towards the narrative exploration of personal experience as a device to contextualise politicians’ careers and value systems. This is complemented with more playful sequences in which Robinson collaborates with politicians to curate their non-political identities and reveal details of their personality that may help the audience to see them in a new light. Through this process, politicians become personal storytellers, whose thoughts, emotions and non-political identities are brought to the fore above issues of policy and current affairs. In turn, Robinson allows politicians to bridge the gap between their institutional identities as politicians and their personal reflections as individuals.
