摘要

媒体机构正经历着前所未有的技术、财务和技术压力,这使它们暴露在严格的公众监督之下,并将其管理实践置于聚光灯下。在许多民主环境中,媒体从业者通过制定一系列旨在获得公众支持和防止政府干预的质量控制措施来应对这些公众压力。本文通过介绍对肯尼亚两个新闻编辑室内部制定的旨在加强媒体问责制的管理做法的调查结果,对这些讨论作出了贡献。这项研究包括对有目的地选择的媒体经理和记者进行半结构化的采访,以及对内部文件的审查,然后对这些文件进行主题分析。结果表明,已建立的媒体问责做法的管理制度薄弱。因此,新闻记者和媒体管理人员认为,现有的管理做法和结构不足以达到象肯尼亚这样自由的媒体环境所期望的问责制水平。

Quality Control in Journalism: The Management of Media Accountability in Newsrooms in Kenya
ABSTRACT Media organizations are experiencing unprecedented technological, financial, and technological pressures, which have exposed them to severe public scrutiny and put their management practices on the spotlight. In many democratic contexts, media practitioners have responded to these public pressures by instituting a raft of quality control measures aimed at gaining public support and forestalling government interference. This article makes a contribution to these discussions by presenting the results of an investigation of the internally instituted management practices aimed at enhancing media accountability at two newsrooms in Kenya. The study involved semi-structured interviews with purposively selected media managers and journalists and a review of internal documents, which were then analyzed thematically. The results point to weak management systems of the instituted media accountability practices. Consequently, there are perceptions among journalists and media managers that the existing management practices and structures are not sufficient in achieving the level of accountability desirable in a liberal media environment such as Kenya.
