Накратко на български

Критиката към журналистиката в интернет се анализира чрез примери като недоверието към медиите в Twitter по време на пандемията. Това помага да се разбере как се разпада връзката между обществото и традиционните медии в дигиталната ера.

Journalism, media critique and online publics

The action “Journalism, Media Critique and Online Publics” examines how journalism is critiqued in today’s online culture. Interdisciplinary in scope, it is guided by the “overarching scientific/research aim” of developing “new concepts for understanding how journalism is critiqued, and how journalists negotiate and experience media critique, by different online publics”. The research is socially important because of the widespread recognition (in both academic literature and popular discourse) that the relationship between journalism and the public is increasingly fractured. Traditional media organizations no longer monopolize the space of public opinion like they once did in the past. The space of “the public” has become an increasingly fragmented space, made up of diverse publics and ideological constituencies that use the affordances of digital culture to critique media and journalism. The project was particularly interested in exploring how the mainstreaming of far-right political discourses has normalized a deeply suspicious view of “mainstream media” that became very visible during different moments of the COVID crisis. The project had two theoretical objectives and two empirical objectives. The first theoretical objective was to engage with a diverse interdisciplinary literature on the topic of critique, with the objective of illuminating the affinities between media critique and other forms of critique. The second theoretical objective was to put the researcher’s (and supervisor’s) established interests in radical democratic theory/discourse theory into conversation with the focus on critique/media critique. The first empirical objective was to carry out a mixture of qualitative and quantitative analysis of how media institutions are critiqued on Twitter. The second was to conduct interviews with journalists to see how they experienced and negotiated critique in today’s digital media culture.

Цел на проекта

CritJourn will examine how journalism is critiqued online and how journalists experience these critiques. Public critiques of journalism seem to have become more visible than they have ever been in the past. In particular, critiques of the legitimacy of mainstream media representations - from different ideological perspectives - have become an everyday feature of public discourse about journalism on digital platforms like Twitter. Drawing on my established international profile as a critical communication, media and journalism researcher, the overarching aim of this project will be to develop new concepts for understanding how journalism is critiqued, and how journalists negotiate and experience media critique, by different online publics. This research is timely and important because it will illuminate our understanding of the relationship between journalism and online culture in a political moment where the bonds that have historically sustained the relationship between journalism and the public have been weakened. The overarching aim will be supported by 4 specific objectives, 2 conceptual and 2 empirical. The conceptual supplements will put communication, media and journalism research into conversation with, first, interdisciplinary debates about the nature of critique and, second, radical democratic theories about the nature of ideological conflict. The first empirical element will undertake a (quantitative and qualitative) critical discourse analysis of how UK journalists and media institutions are critiqued on Twitter. The second will interview journalists in Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands and UK about their experiences of media critique. The fellowship incorporates a training programme appropriate to my career profile. It will significantly advance my research programme, facilitate and extend my reintegration within EU research networks and boost my chances of getting a senior academic position in Europe on completion.
