The Rocky Road towards Professional Autonomy : The Estonian Journalists’ Organization in the Political Turmoil of the 20th Century
2017
This article attempts to explain the relationships between journalists, politics and the state from the perspective of collective autonomy, that of the professional organization of journalists. The case of Estonian Journalists’ Union demonstrates the complexity and historical contingency of professional autonomy of journalism. The development of the Estonian journalists’ organization occurred as a sequence of transformations from the Estonian Journalists’ Association to the Estonian Journalists’ Union to the Soviet type journalists’ union, and lastly to an independent trade union. This sequence was disrupted by several fatal breakdowns that changed not only the character of the association,…
Journalists’ Associations as Political Instruments in Central and Eastern Europe
2017
This editorial provides the overall context for the five cases—three national and two international—covered in this thematic issue. While the cases are from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), they highlight fundamental questions of journalism everywhere, including contradictions between freedom and control, professionalism and politics, individual and collective. The associations of journalists serve as very useful platforms to study these questions, especially at historical turning points when the whole political system changed, as happened twice in CEE after World War II.
"Ist dort... ha, ha, ha, der... der 'Erfinder der deutschen Popliteratur?'" Continuidad y evolución de la Neue Deutsche Popliteratur en la obra de Jo…
2023
La Neue Deutsche Popliteratur ha estado asociada desde sus inicios a la Spaßgesellschaft. El consumismo, el ritmo desenfrenado y la constante búsqueda del placer y la diversión que recogían los textos desarrollados por los Popliteraten eran reflejo de una época en la que el fin último de la sociedad era el placer y la diversión individual, alejándose de la búsqueda del bienestar colectivo. Sin embargo, los terribles atentados cometidos el 11 de septiembre de 2001 en Nueva York supusieron el fin de la Spaßgesellschaft y, a ojos de la crítica especializada del momento, también el fin de una literatura estrechamente vinculada al contexto en que surgió. Esta tesis analiza la continuidad y evolu…
What Drives Populist Styles? Analyzing Immigration and Labor Market News in 11 Countries
2019
The success of populist political actors in Western democracies and the dramatization and emotionality of political communication in news media have been the object of several theoretical and empirical studies in the past decade. It has been argued that the mediatization of politics and the convergence of populist and tabloid communication styles foster these developments by mutual promotion in mass communication. This article uses a cross-national quantitative content analysis to disentangle associations among news genres, populist actors, content, and style. In spite of indisputable prevalence of populist styles in tabloid style media, populist ideology is identified as their strongest s…
Perspectiva feminista como ética periodística en México
2021
La investigación tiene como propósito demostrar que la prensa feminista, debe ser considerada como herramienta en la promoción y defensa de los derechos humanos. Se desarrolló desde un enfoque cualitativo, examinando las investigaciones de cuatro reconocidas periodistas mexicanas. De los principales debates que se problematizan, se desprende que la prensa debe ser un ente vigilante de los grupos de poder. Al incluirse la perspectiva feminista en el periodismo, los mensajes que se transmiten contienen una significación práctica que intrínsecamente coadyuva en el reconocimiento de la dignidad de las mujeres. Visto lo anterior, se concluye que, en orden de construir sociedades más justas, quie…

Complejidad social y calidad informativa: hacia un periodismo "glocal"
2013
In the so-called information (and knowledge) society, quality information is, more than ever, an indispensable and inalienable public good for any citizen who wants to exercise his or her civic and political rights. Because of this, we need to have reliable (rigorous and autonomous) communication media, which disseminate relevant and quality information. But journalism does not only depend on structural questions, but also on the conditions and limits (such as simplification, for instance) that mark professional praxis, either of the political or the socioeconomic type. Social complexity requires a treatment of information that might explain reality, which implies taking advantage of the sc…

Facebook’s Emotional Contagion Experiment as a Challenge to Research Ethics
2016
This article analyzes the ethical discussion focusing on the Facebook emotional contagion experiment published by the <em>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences</em> in 2014. The massive-scale experiment manipulated the News Feeds of a large amount of Facebook users and was successful in proving that emotional contagion happens also in online environments. However, the experiment caused ethical concerns within and outside academia mainly for two intertwined reasons, the first revolving around the idea of research as manipulation, and the second focusing on the problematic definition of informed consent. The article concurs with recent research that the era of social med…
Localizing the politics of privacy in communication and media research
2020
While previous communication and media research has largely focused on either studying privacy as personal boundary management or made efforts to investigate the structural (legal or economic) condition of privacy, we observe an emergent body of research on the political underpinnings of privacy linking both aspects. A pronounced understanding of the politics of privacy is however lacking. In this contribution, we set out to push this forward by mapping four communication and media perspectives on the political implications of privacy. In order to do so, we recur on Barry’s (2002) distinction of the political and the politics and outline linkages between individual and structural dimensions…
