Abstract

This study examines the perceived relevance and implementation of competing normative ideals in journalism in times of increasing use of digital technology in newsrooms. Based on survey and content analysis data from 37 countries, we found a small positive relationship between the use of digital research tools and “watchdog” performance. However, a stronger and negative relationship emerged between the use of digital audience analytics and the performance of “watchdog” and “civic” roles, leading to an overall increase in conception–performance gaps on both roles. Moreover, journalists’ use of digital community tools was more strongly and positively associated with “infotainment” and “interventionism.”

刺激还是模糊职业标准？数字技术在当代新闻编辑室落实新闻角色理想中的作用

本研究探讨了在新闻编辑室越来越多地使用数字技术的时代，新闻业中相互竞争的规范性理想的相关性和实施情况。基于来自 37 个国家的调查和内容分析数据，我们发现数字研究工具的使用与 "监督者 "的表现之间存在微小的正相关关系。然而，数字受众分析工具的使用与 "监督者 "和 "公民 "角色的表现之间出现了更强的负相关关系，导致这两种角色的概念-表现差距总体扩大。此外，记者对数字社区工具的使用与 "信息娱乐 "和 "干预主义 "有更强的正相关。
