I'm so excited that articles from @andreawenzel's and my special issue on Engaged Journalism are beginning to come out! This one examines @wearehearken newsrooms to reveal "a stark contrast between the content audiences want and that which journalists tend to report." https://twitter.com/JournPractice/status/1230901101236490241
This one by @Xiayp, @suerobinsonUW, @MeganZahay, and @dfreelon, explores journalists' roles on social media, and the steps they take in the name of "engagement." https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17512786.2020.1722729
And this one by Rachna Prakash and Debora Wenger examines the relationship between Facebook engagement and local TV newscast ratings, an important topic considering that TV news is often missing from engagement conversations. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17512786.2020.1725600
#4 is online! This piece by @TRSchmidt16 and @LawrenceRegina explores the impact of organizational dynamics on the pursuit of engaged journalism by examining how @wearehearken's tools and services get implemented in 15 different newsrooms. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17512786.2020.1731319
Two more articles from @andreawenzel's and my special issue of @JournPractice are now online! In "Reimagining Newsroom Collaboration," @magdakon examines how European news nonprofits seek to collaborate with their audiences: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17512786.2020.1757490
In article #6, Seong Jae Min explores the striking similarities between engaged journalism and the public journalism movement that preceded it, with a focus on "how engaged journalism can learn from the missteps of its predecessor." https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17512786.2020.1758188
And closing out our special issue is this awesome piece by
@LDeshan and @cratebeats that explores how two nonprofit media organizations "have transformed their legacy practices to better connect within and serve marginalized populations." https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17512786.2020.1759124
