Abstract

Abstract This article considers the extent to which action research can help local stakeholders tackle the permanent technological disruption in the media sector by reshaping journalistic production practices with original design by examining a specific case. The INJECT Norway (Innovative Journalism: Enhanced Creativity Tools) project was part of an EU Innovation Action with partners that included universities, technology companies, business consultancies, and local newspapers. The objective was to design a new tool for creativity support in journalism and stimulate innovation competence through a business ecosystem. The article evaluates the collaboration between academics and local partners in the Norwegian ecosystem regarding the workability of the new designs and the credibility of the approach. The evaluation is written as a chronological narrative of the project's collaboration from optimistic beginnings to eventual failure. The main findings reveal a tension between the academic researchers and the local project partners. Despite these tensions, the article concludes with a hopeful note about the current action research ecosystem: harnessing the power of students to mediate the relationship between academics and local partners.
行动研究能改善当地新闻业吗?
摘要本文通过研究一个具体案例,探讨了行动研究在多大程度上可以帮助当地利益相关者通过重塑具有原创设计的新闻生产实践来应对媒体部门的永久性技术中断。挪威INJECT(创新新闻:增强创意工具)项目是欧盟创新行动的一部分,其合作伙伴包括大学、技术公司、商业咨询公司和当地报纸。其目标是设计一种新的工具来支持新闻业的创造力,并通过商业生态系统激发创新能力。本文评估了挪威生态系统中学术界和当地合作伙伴之间关于新设计的可行性和方法的可信度的合作。评估是按时间顺序叙述项目合作从乐观开始到最终失败的过程。主要发现揭示了学术研究人员和当地项目合作伙伴之间的紧张关系。尽管存在这些紧张关系,文章最后还是对当前的行动研究生态系统提出了一个充满希望的建议:利用学生的力量来调解学者和当地合作伙伴之间的关系。
