In this process, media coverage is expected to embody inclusivity by encompassing the multifaceted nature of our society, incorporating diverse sources, and narrating a story that reflects a myriad of perspectives, including those of marginalized groups. This research, grounded in the principles of inclusive journalism, investigates how Indonesian media sheds light on people with disabilities (PwD) within the framework of election reporting. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines articles published on two prominent online platforms – Kompas.com and Detik.com – focusing on their coverage of issues pertaining to PwD within the electoral context. The research highlights generally positive media coverage but notes a limited representation of PwD. Government sources dominate, indicating a need for more inclusive journalism. While legal and human rights perspectives prevail in framing, there is a call for more direct voices from PwD. Overall, the study underscores the importance of inclusive reporting, recognizing PwD as active participants in both politics and society for a more equitable democracy in Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":125587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies","volume":" 845","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141127552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This shift has enabled citizen journalism, which has strongly influenced media systems and public discourses. The purpose of this study is to discover the main themes, research paradigms and trends regarding citizen journalism in Africa. Data was drawn from Taylor & Francis, Google Scholar, Sage Publication and Emerald Insight databases. The researchers applied a systematic literature review method to the dataset, and after applying the protocol and the analysis model, a corpus of 27 articles was obtained in June 2023, covering a decade from 2013. The findings indicate that ethics in journalism, bureaucracy in journalistic reporting, objectivity in news reporting, professionalism in citizen journalism and social media are the main themes in citizen journalism discussed in the selected articles over the research period. The predominant research paradigm of the reviewed articles is qualitative. The review exposes various unexplored areas of citizen journalism in Africa and recommends further studies in the field.","PeriodicalId":125587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies","volume":" 650","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141127493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This gap stems from several factors, such as the lack of research addressing urgent real-world issues, the complexity and inaccessibility of academic writing, and the limited outreach of academic journals to the general public. This study aims to bridge this gap by connecting actionable business academic research with business practitioners through the lens of constructive journalism. A crucial part of this research involved in-depth interviews with sixteen academic researchers, whose work aligns with the principles of the Constructive Research Approach (CRA) and has been adapted for practitioners using the constructive journalism approach (CJA). Despite most researchers interviewed not necessarily being familiar with the specific terms CRA or CJA, their practices naturally adhered to the principles and ethical standards of these approaches, as revealed in our detailed interviews. These researchers adeptly utilized CJA to reformat their research into a journalistic style, ensuring compliance with constructive criteria. This restructured research was then published in mainstream media, thus reaching a wider audience, including the public and practitioners. Based on the experiences and insights of these researchers, the study presents a comprehensive guide aimed at aiding other academic researchers in effectively using CJA to bridge the gap between academic knowledge, typically confined to academic journals, and a broader audience through journalistic mediums. The goal is to make academic research more accessible, relevant and useful to practitioners and the general public, thereby amplifying its societal impact and practical value.","PeriodicalId":125587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141050587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notwithstanding this window, which also offers the public an opportunity to entrench responsible journalism, it appears that many Nigerian citizens do not take advantage of the directive. This study investigated Port Harcourt residents’ response to NPC’s directive against inaccurate and malicious news reports. Among other objectives, the study investigated Port Harcourt residents’ response to the directive. The critical political-economy theory provided theoretical cornerstone to the study. Using the survey research design, a sample size of 384 respondents was drawn from a population of 205,507. Findings of the study showed that many residents of Port Harcourt had observed inaccurate and malicious news reports but failed to report to the NPC due to fear of being victimized. The study recommended, among other measures, that NPC should assure Nigerian citizens that complaints arising from perceived inaccurate news publications would be treated as confidential.","PeriodicalId":125587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140688744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through expert interviews, we present how the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK P3 and the biggest newspaper in Norway, VG, approach the challenge of catching young people’s attention. We identify two strategies for how legacy media companies work with visual expressions and designing their digital content when trying to reach a wide, fragmented young target group on digital platforms. VG is a platform-oriented storyteller where design is connected to the direction and mode of storytelling and tailored to fit certain platforms. Their area of focus is to be where their target groups are and to meet the visual expectations of these audiences by taking cues from what is trending on different platforms. NRK P3 takes the approach of a traditional brander that works in both visionary and traditional ways to build a strong, trustworthy and visible brand. We conclude by pointing out possible problems with both approaches.","PeriodicalId":125587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies","volume":"648 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140719251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
