Problematising the restoration of trust through transparency: Focusing on quoting

2020

Transparency is seen as a panacea for a major problem facing journalism and journalists today, that is, the loss of trust and credibility. However, the scholarly literature has focused primarily on normative considerations, without providing much empirical data that could confirm what are widely assumed to be the positive effects of transparency. In this paper, I argue, first, that editorial texts, in their various manifestations, are the most potent of the various established means of displaying transparency for opening up the production of news item. However, I then draw on my linguistic, process-focused research on quoting and highlight challenges this process creates for the use of edi…

Blogissa toimittajan tollot eivät vääristele sanoja : sosiaalisen median vaikutuksia politiikan journalismiin ja uutisointiin

2014

Pro gradu-tutkielmani käsittelee ajankohtaista sosiaalista mediaa politiikan toimittajien uutena työkaluna. Sähköisen median vaatiman nopeuden ja sosiaalisen median mukaan tulon myötä toimittajien työskentelytavat ovat muuttuneet. Tutkielmallani pyrin selvittämään, miten toimitukset luovat politiikan uutisia sosiaalisesta mediasta, millaisia uutisia sosiaalisesta mediasta nostetaan ja miten politiikan toimitukset kokevat politiikan journalismin muuttuneen. Lisäksi tarkastelen diskurssianalyysin avulla sitä, millaisia nämä sosiaalisesta mediasta nostetut uutiset ovat. Lisäksi arvioin, kuinka sosiaalinen media ja verkkojournalismi ovat muuttaneet politiikan journalismia ja miten näiden tekijö…

Juttuaiheena talousrikos : toimittajien tiedonhankinta pitkäkestoisessa talousrikosprosessissa

2014

Media on edelleen vuonna 2014 vallan vahtikoira: tutkivalla journalismilla on vieläkin mahdollisuus paljastaa vallan väärinkäytöksiä, muun muassa talousrikoksia. Pitkien oikeusprosessien ja talousrikosten monimutkaisuuden takia talousrikosjournalismi on yksi journalismin vaikeimmista lajeista. Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena on kertoa, millainen tiedonhankintaprosessi on talousrikoksista uutisoiville toimittajille. Teemahaastatteluissa haastattelin talousrikoksista uutisoineita toimittajia: Helsingin Sanomien taloustoimittajaa Tuomo Pietiläistä, Yleisradion oikeustoimittajaa Päivi Happosta, Yleisradiosta Seura-lehteen siirtynytttä tutkivaa toimittajaa Ari Korvolaa, jo eläköitynyttä Turun Sanom…

Augmented reality as news

2021

If you are building complex, expensive VR today for the limited number of people, who get VR headsets, and [are] willing to scratch up on their heads to have the experience, experimentation is great, nice, but […] I think augmented reality is actually more interesting and has more potential for news. peerReviewed

The impact of emotions in immersive journalism

2021

One of the starting motivations for developing the very concept and practice of immersive journalism was concern about the audiences’ general apathy toward news reporting. As Nonny de la Peña et al. (2010, 298) stated in their seminal paper, “An important role of immersive journalism could be to reinstitute the audience’s emotional involvement in current events”. As a documentarist, de la Peña was more familiar with “emotional literacy” than an average news reporter, for example (see Pantti 2010, 176). peerReviewed

If Only They Knew: Audience Expectations and Actual Sourcing Practices in Online Journalism

2019

This article answers the question “Are the sourcing practices in Finnish online journalism trustworthy?” Here, trustworthiness is operationalized as the fulfillment of audience expectations towards sourcing practices. To this end, expectations of young Finnish adults (aged 18–28) were compared to the observed practices of Finnish online journalists. A total of 36 news items (from 12 journalists working in three newsrooms, published in 2013 and 2017) were analyzed. The analysis indicates that online journalists’ sourcing practices largely do not conform to this audience segment's expectations. Namely, the audience expects more comprehensive investigation and thorough verification than what i…

Personalisation in Journalism: Ethical insights and blindspots in Finnish legacy media

2022

The algorithmic personalisation and recommendation of media content has resulted in considerable discussion on related ethical, epistemic and societal concerns. While technologies of personalisation are widely employed by social media platforms, they are currently also being instituted in journalistic media. The objective of this study is to explore how concerns about algorithms are articulated and addressed when technologies of personalisation meet with long-standing journalistic values, norms and publicist missions. It first distinguishes five normative concerns related to personalisation: autonomy, opacity, privacy, selective exposure and discrimination. It then traces the ways that the…

Incidentality on a continuum: A comparative conceptualization of incidental news consumption

2020

This article seeks to contribute to theorizing the dynamics of incidental news consumption. Through an analysis of 200 semi-structured interviews with people in Argentina, Finland, Israel, Japan, and the United States, we show that intentionality in news consumption can be viewed on a continuum, which goes from deliberately setting apart time to access the news on specific outlets to skimming through unsought-for news on social and broadcast media, with intermediate practices such as respondents setting up an environment where they are more or less likely to encounter news. Drawing on structuration theory, this article conceptualizes incidental news in the context of the wider media environ…
