The press, Hutchins wrote, “does not care for criticism, even self-criticism.” Hutchins was reacting to a study that had been proposed by the journalism organization SDX, which had been shot down by other journalists, but his sentiments, frustrated and even cynical though they might be, resonate beyond their immediate historical context. Bates details four of these studies, including the one proposed by SDX, and investigates how “the press” stopped them from ever taking off. These abortive studies form an obvious pattern, as Bates amply demonstrates. These studies were instigated by a sense of crisis. Some combination of scholars and journalists set them up. Money was available to fund them, often from foundations, or from the press itself. But the press reacted negatively to them when word got out, and they were shuttered before they began. But one common element that Bates identifies stands out as a potentially fatal flaw: These studies were all designed to cause the press to change in some positive way. In fact, in distinguishing attempts at accountability from a mere sense of responsibility, Bates defines them as intended to effect change. That desire is fatal, though, because the U.S. press, steeped in a tradition of independence and convinced that its primary job is to hold other institutions to account, does not like to take criticism from outsiders, and rarely even engages in self-criticism. This is true not just of the large-scale, one-off studies that Bates describes. The press as an institution avoids changing in response to press critics, scholarly studies, good-faith and bad-faith political criticism, public comments on social media, and even to its own in-house ombudsmen. Hutchins was spot-on. The American press does not care for criticism.","PeriodicalId":147592,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Monographs","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128029716","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}

First, we trace the development in local TV news of the now universally recognized reporter-driven emphasis: the local Eyewitness News model. That format’s role in establishing reporters as local elites is our basis for comparing how audiences respond to local reporters associated with the “eyewitness” brand versus reporters from national broadcast outlets. Using a combination of survey and field experiments, we investigate how audiences respond to eyewitness reporters. First, we vary audience exposure to partisan and policy frames sourced to these reporters. Across these experiments, audiences, and especially Republicans, respond more favorably to local than to national reporters and to the use of a policy than a partisan frame. Our second set of experiments test false balance and truth-telling in local TV stories about the 2020 presidential election. Again, the local reporter bests a national counterpart in terms of audience, especially Republican, reactions. In our third set of studies, we examine different combinations of human-interest content in the traditional thematic and episodic framing approaches in TV news for their effect on audiences’ climate change attitudes. We conclude by showing how these results inform an expansion of the topics and approaches local TV news affiliates should take to offer political coverage of value.","PeriodicalId":147592,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Monographs","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130501711","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}

Instead, the authors encourage local TV news to use policy, thematic, and human interest frames. They argue that such coverage is less likely to be ignored or dismissed as biased, especially by Republicans. We comment on the authors’ core argument, strengthen the direction of their findings, highlight a few gaps, and outline new opportunities for reinventing local political coverage in TV news. We note that the authors’ findings do demonstrate an opportunity for local TV news to intervene in the discourse on political issues in an emotionally and democratically more open manner. But for this to happen, additional considerations about the situation and journey ahead for local TV news must be taken into account. Our observations do not undermine any of the findings. They lay out the terrain ahead. We offer insights in three areas: Beats and Expertise, Polarization and Discourse, and Bringing Ethical Rigor to Human Interest Frames. We note that these are opportunities for new work that may help local political journalism find an ethical and sustainable identity apart from the hegemony of network television and the elite national newspapers.","PeriodicalId":147592,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Monographs","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127001119","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}

Drawing on 38 in-depth interviews with U.S. journalists, this project uses the theory of intersectionality to understand how journalists experienced hostility and how they changed their journalistic routines in response. Participants described four forms of hostility from news sources: general distrust of the news media, boundary crossing, safety-violating hostility, and microaggressions. Boundary crossing was primarily used toward younger women, and microaggressions were used toward White women and men and women of color. Although safety-violating hostility occurred least often, it was the most intense form of hostility and was disproportionately experienced by women, whose gender, race, age, tenure, and even their geographical location worked against them to create hostile and unsafe situations. These findings should inform how news editors think about story assignments and reporters’ safety on the job so that editors empathize more with reporters and do away with more dangerous reporting scenarios, such as person-on-the-street interviews and door knocking. Finally, as many reporters were unprepared for the hostility they experienced, journalism instructors should focus on hostility as a reality journalists will likely face in the field.","PeriodicalId":147592,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Monographs","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114420305","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}
