Diversity in British, Swedish, and German Newsrooms: Problem Awareness, Measures, and Achievements
2020
A core tenet of journalism is to contribute toward a functioning and healthy public sphere by ensuring transparency over issues and perspectives from different segments of society. However, it has become increasingly doubtful whether the news media can reflect the true diversity of society while lacking internal diversity in their newsrooms. In our study of three European countries (Germany, Sweden, and the UK), we assess how news organizations cope with the challenges of achieving diversity among their editorial staff and fostering a diversity-sensitive newsroom culture. Drawing on semi-standardized interviews with editors-in-chief and managing editors at 18 outlets, our analysis systemati…
Counterbalancing global media frames with nationally colored narratives: A comparative study of news narratives and news framing in the climate chang…

In a comparative quantitative content analysis of the newspaper coverage in five democratic countries (Brazil, Germany, India, South Africa, and United States) during four United Nations climate change conferences from 2010 to 2013, both textual-visual framing and narrative features were studied simultaneously for the first time.

The analysis shows that most journalists maintain close relationships with their home country delegation. However, journalists experienced in climate conference coverage also maint…
