Project Details
Description
This project studies the impact of social media on journalism practice and how this affects news coverage in the Netherlands and Flanders. Its central research questions are:
a) how do political, sports and local reporters from newspapers and public and commercial broadcasters integrate social media in their daily news gathering routines and how does this impact professional identity;
b) how do journalists and news organizations use (information from) social media in their news texts and publishing strategies; and
c) how do social media impact the content and form of news and information dissemination essential for sustainable democratic societies. Is a new "journalism of connectivity" emerging?
