Abstract

Studies about journalists’ professional identity have so far been scarce. However, understanding the constitution and formation processes of professional identity helps to explore journalists’ and journalism’s identity, performance, and adaption to challenges. The study enhances theories about journalistic roles, professional identity, and adaptation processes in journalism, based on a synthesis of literature from different fields as well as qualitative interviews with 20 journalists from print and online Swiss newspapers. This research proposes a model that explains: (a) the constitution of professional identity in journalism as an additive, relational, and hierarchical concept; and (b) the process of formation at three distinct level of analysis. The idea is that different theories address adaptation processes on distinctive analytical fields: discursive institutionalism captures the relationship between journalists’ and journalism’s identity (macro); socialization theory focuses on the adaption process into a social community (meso); and resilience theory explains individuals’ adaptation in face of challenges (micro).
新闻职业认同理论:话语制度主义、社会化与心理弹性理论的关联
迄今为止,关于记者职业认同的研究还很少。然而,了解职业认同的构成和形成过程有助于探索记者和新闻业的身份、表现和对挑战的适应。该研究基于对不同领域文献的综合,以及对来自瑞士纸媒和在线报纸的20名记者的定性采访,加强了有关新闻角色、职业身份和新闻适应过程的理论。本研究提出一个模型来解释:(a)新闻职业认同的构成是一个累加的、关系的、层次的概念;(b)形成过程在三个不同的分析水平。这个观点是,不同的理论在不同的分析领域解决适应过程:话语制度主义抓住了记者和新闻身份之间的关系(宏观);社会化理论关注的是进入社会共同体(meso)的适应过程;而弹性理论解释了个体面对挑战时的适应(微观)。
