Abstract

Abstract Representation and diversity are salient issues in the democratic discourse worldwide and by extension within the field of journalism studies. With the field’s recent introspection into the role of gender and race in academia came a need for empirical data, supporting the efforts of scholars working on improving journalism study’s diversity, both in terms of gender and affiliation nationality. The current study aims at adding to this ongoing research by investigating the diversity among the authors of three major journalism related journals from 2000–2020, by employing automated content analysis and network analysis on a corpus of 2,751 original research articles. The results illustrate how authors’ characteristics impact a fields output. We find historic and ongoing imbalances among authors of different genders and affiliation nationality that have an impact on the field’s knowledge production.

二十年新闻学研究:作者身份、网络和多样性

摘要代表性和多样性是世界范围内民主话语中的突出问题，也是新闻研究领域中的重要问题。随着该领域最近对性别和种族在学术界的作用的反思，需要实证数据，以支持致力于改善新闻研究在性别和隶属国籍方面的多样性的学者的努力。目前的研究旨在通过对2751篇原创研究文章的语料库进行自动内容分析和网络分析，调查2000-2002年三大新闻相关期刊作者的多样性，为这项正在进行的研究增添新的内容。结果说明了作者的特征如何影响字段输出。我们发现，不同性别和隶属国籍的作者之间存在历史性和持续性的不平衡，这对该领域的知识生产产生了影响。

期刊介绍： Digital Journalism provides a critical forum for scholarly discussion, analysis and responses to the wide ranging implications of digital technologies, along with economic, political and cultural developments, for the practice and study of journalism. Radical shifts in journalism are changing every aspect of the production, content and reception of news; and at a dramatic pace which has transformed ‘new media’ into ‘legacy media’ in barely a decade. These crucial changes challenge traditional assumptions in journalism practice, scholarship and education, make definitional boundaries fluid and require reassessment of even the most fundamental questions such as "What is journalism?" and "Who is a journalist?" Digital Journalism pursues a significant and exciting editorial agenda including: Digital media and the future of journalism; Social media as sources and drivers of news; The changing ‘places’ and ‘spaces’ of news production and consumption in the context of digital media; News on the move and mobile telephony; The personalisation of news; Business models for funding digital journalism in the digital economy; Developments in data journalism and data visualisation; New research methods to analyse and explore digital journalism; Hyperlocalism and new understandings of community journalism; Changing relationships between journalists, sources and audiences; Citizen and participatory journalism; Machine written news and the automation of journalism; The history and evolution of online journalism; Changing journalism ethics in a digital setting; New challenges and directions for journalism education and training; Digital journalism, protest and democracy; Journalists’ changing role perceptions; Wikileaks and novel forms of investigative journalism.
