Abstract

The study of journalistic cultures has a long history in communication research. Yet, much scholarship has been criticized for emanating too much from normative and—particularly in the case of comparative work—ethnocentric assumptions. While much progress has been made, the field arguably still suffers from these imbalances, restricting a more holistic understanding of journalistic cultures. This article aims to address this gap by proposing a repurposed concept for the study of journalistic cultures that focuses on the extent to which journalists are embedded in communities’ experiences, values, histories, places, and languages. Following an overview and explication of how embeddedness has been used in journalism scholarship, but also in other disciplines, we argue that the term provides an opportunity to better contextualize journalistic cultures, contributing to a less normatively dismissive and more explanatory approach to analyzing journalism and comparing journalistic cultures.

将嵌入性概念化作为分析新闻文化的一个关键维度

新闻文化研究在传播学研究中由来已久。然而，许多学术研究都被批评为过于源于规范性假设，特别是在比较研究中，以民族为中心的假设。虽然已经取得了很大进展，但可以说这一领域仍然存在这些不平衡，限制了对新闻文化更全面的理解。本文旨在弥补这一不足，为新闻文化研究提出了一个新的概念，其重点是新闻记者在多大程度上融入了社区的经验、价值观、历史、地域和语言。在对新闻学术界以及其他学科如何使用 "嵌入性 "进行概述和阐释之后，我们认为，该术语为更好地将新闻文化纳入语境提供了机会，有助于减少对新闻的规范性轻视，以更具解释性的方法来分析新闻和比较新闻文化。
