Following recent developments in digital technologies, financial
crises, and changes in audience preferences, this book addresses the
critical challenges and disruptions facing the profession of
journalism: an arguably precarious industry suffering from employment
insecurity, individualization, and loss of autonomy. Drawing on
research from the Norwegian and Nordic media landscape, Journalism
Between Disruption and Resilience elaborates on how boundary struggles
between journalism and other forms of content, such as marketing and
public relations, have become blurred, while social distinctions
within the profession are deepened and exacerbated by downsizing and
cutbacks in newsrooms and their journalistic staffs. The impact of
these developments on the institutional and democratic role of
journalism in society is discussed alongside the tensions between
professional autonomy and precarious work. Expanding upon several
earlier research studies, grounded in the sociology of professions and
freelance work, this book provides a new theoretical framework from
which to addressjournalistic precarity and the role of journalism in
society. This is an insightful study for advanced students and
researchers in the areas of professional journalism, journalism
education, and media industries including marketing and public
relations.
