🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨Accepted knowledge within journalism stands that soft news tends to be more market-driven than hard news. Is it? In this piece in Journalism Studies, Pat Ferrucci, Grace Ficara and I make an exploration through interviews with lifestyle journalists. 🎯Bottom line? They certainly don't perceive any more market pressure than is experienced in hard news--and participants were able to link market experiences in hard news as being entirely conversant with their experience in lifestyle. However!🔥A key unique form of pressure they *did* experience was within their newsrooms: the pressure to provide the audience and, hence, the funding for hard news.

Journalism isn't 'disappearing' but it's moving onto an 'endangered' list. It needs to be fought for, not bemoaned as a taken-for-granted loss. Lose the hand wringing: roll up collective sleeves and get to it. The current generation of youth is engaged and willing to look at journalism, but they need an invitation and they need more support. As always, I continue to bang the drum loudly that it's not enough to talk about *professional* journalism in these discussions: media literacy, journalistic principles and student publications need to be part of middle and high school curriculum, for development not only of "future journalists" but also for the training of our young citizens in how to get informed and how to carry on community conversations. Loved this quote from the NPR piece from Graciela Mochkofsky, the dean of the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York: "I was trained as a journalist with this very, very strong, very, very strong sense that journalism is something that is not a given; it's something you fight for every day, just like democracy." Also, a question: why do professional media like NPR always seem to sidestep high school educators when they source stories like this? What's that about? Try including career 9-12 journalism educators for these pieces who can provide additional insights about who's waiting in the wings of tomorrow's mastheads.

[NEW] Redefining News: A Manifesto for Community-Centered Journalism, a new report by me, Regina Lawrence and Andrew DeVigal for the Agora Journalism Center at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication/University of Oregon is out today. https://lnkd.in/edNPW_Rn In the paper, we make the case for embracing a more inclusive, community-focused model of journalism, one that prioritizes listening to and collaborating with communities to produce relevant, equitable and impactful news and storytelling. The report features an actionable framework to put the principles of Community-Centered Journalism into practice and explains how this approach differs from traditional models of journalism, with potential benefits including rebuilding trust, tackling inequities, and fostering civic engagement. I hope you find it interesting and useful! #journalism #journalist #media #community #communication
