Drawing on a comprehensive dataset of 224,905 articles published in 2023 by 22 Norwegian news outlets, and corresponding posts on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, the study employs Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling to identify and compare thematic patterns. Results reveal systematic adaptations to platform-specific logics: while the outlets’ online news sites maintain broad topical diversity, they favour politics and human-interest stories on Facebook, personalised and entertainment-oriented content on Instagram, and sensationalist, event-driven topics on TikTok. Statistical diversity measures confirm that the outlets’ social media posts display lower topical diversity than their online articles. These findings demonstrate that editorial strategies align with distinct platform logics, contributing to a segmented news environment. The study argues that such differentiation has implications for the democratic role of journalism, as audiences encounter increasingly platform-tailored representations of news.","PeriodicalId":11166,"journal":{"name":"Digital Journalism","volume":"218 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149003583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While previous research suggests that human editors adapt news to social media logic, which often results in news softening, the specific influence of APSs on this process remains unexplored. As German newsrooms increasingly implement APSs, editorial decisions are partially transferred to algorithms that select, adapt, and publish news based on publishers’ content feeds. This automation raises concerns about potential erosion of journalistic standards and the systematic alteration of news content on social media platforms. Our analysis encompasses 2.6 million Facebook posts from 44 German news outlets; the posts were published between 2018 and 2023. We found that, in 2023, 57% of these outlets used APSs; however, they primarily used a semi-automated approach that allows manual oversight of topic selection and stylistic adaptation. Notably, APSs are associated with a marginally higher likelihood of sharing politically relevant content that generally contains less emotional language, contradicting the prevailing expectations of news softening. These results suggest that algorithmic efficiency, paired with human oversight and configurable editorial settings, can support news quality and serve journalism’s democratic function.","PeriodicalId":11166,"journal":{"name":"Digital Journalism","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149003593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper seeks to explore whether Wikipedia, a peer-production platform, can be an alternative source that offers politically balanced information. By analyzing news references in the Wikipedia biographies of U.S. elected officials, we find evidence of a moderate but significant liberal bias, with liberal media sources cited more extensively than conservative ones across the pages of both Democrats and Republicans. We then discover that the bias in terms of the use of news citations is significantly associated with workload diversity and communication influence during the process of crowd editing. Our findings contribute to the emerging literature on bias in peer-production communities and shed light on the influence of digital media on collaborative knowledge production. Furthermore, our results challenge the belief that political neutrality can be safely assumed from collaborative editing, offering implications for digital journalism on how to produce more balanced, two-sided information.","PeriodicalId":11166,"journal":{"name":"Digital Journalism","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149003584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While posing serious risks to the sustainability of independent journalism worldwide, this event also underscored the need to better understand how media organizations reliant on foreign aid adapt to its sudden withdrawal. Drawing on the literature on media development and organizational adaptation, this study investigates the strategies, constraints, and outcomes of adaptation among Ukrainian digital newsrooms. Semi-structured interviews with 27 senior representatives from a diverse range of Ukrainian media organizations revealed that the effects of USAID’s funding termination were distributed unevenly, leading to substantial variations in the newsrooms’ capacity to adapt. The interaction between environmental (external) and organizational (internal) factors influenced the choice and effectiveness of specific adaptation strategies. The study findings also show how the withdrawal of USAID aid destabilized the wider media-support environment, weakening cross-sectoral networks and exposing media organizations to political and commercial pressures. The article will be of interest to researchers and media development practitioners, particularly in contexts affected by armed conflicts and funding cuts.","PeriodicalId":11166,"journal":{"name":"Digital Journalism","volume":"2019 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149003625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Via a survey (US and the Netherlands, N = 1396), that uniquely tasked people with providing hyperlinks to both misinformation and credible information, we explored the perceived span, availability, and accessibility of misinformation. First, citizens’ understanding of misinformation seems to be subject to concept creep as it extends beyond strictly false content by including biased and politically motivated information. Second, when identifying sources of misinformation, respondents more often pointed to mainstream and widely accessible sources, such as partisan news outlets and social media, rather than fringe or extremist sources. Third, misinformation is perceived to be easily obtainable, while credible information remains more accessible. These findings underscore high levels of perceived misinformation nearness among citizens, which could be concerning as it is found to correlate with estimations of misinformation as more threatening and omnipresent. This study highlights the challenges audiences experience when curating their digital news diets in ways that avoid contamination by misinformation and inaccuracies.","PeriodicalId":11166,"journal":{"name":"Digital Journalism","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149003619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article advances organizational bricolage as a lens for understanding adaptation in journalism, shifting attention from crisis-driven reactions to the generative practices through which journalists and newsrooms continually reconfigure themselves. Drawing on a multi-site ethnographic case study of three Monothematic News Organizations, the study shows how bricolage operates both at inception and in daily practice. Through anchoring in recognizable journalistic values, augmenting with nonprofit and alternative repertoires, and differentiating from antagonistic elements, MNOs craft legitimacy, resilience, and distinct editorial identities. Far from being resistant to change, journalists emerge as bricoleurs, improvising with the resources at hand to sustain mission-driven reporting. Theoretically, the study positions bricolage as a critical framework for rethinking adaptation, not as a reactive adjustment, but as an ongoing institutional formation. Practically, it highlights how bricolage enables small, precarious outlets to produce durable and innovative journalism, while also revealing its limitations amid the influence of funders, platform dominance, and systemic inequality. In doing so, the article reframes journalism as a profession that endures not despite uncertainty, but through continual acts of recomposition.","PeriodicalId":11166,"journal":{"name":"Digital Journalism","volume":"88 1","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149210852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
