This book offers a comprehensive, authoritative, and accessible
introduction to journalistic transparency. Pulling from historical
and theoretical perspectives, Transparency and Journalism explains
the concept of transparency and its place in journalistic practice,
offering a critical assessment of what transparency can and cannot
offer to journalism. The author also reviews the key theoretical
claims underlying transparency and how they have been researched in
different parts of the world, ultimately proposing a communication
model that can be used to study the concept of transparency across
journalism research. Other topics discussed include the use of
algorithmic forms of transparency, the limitations of the
transparency myth, and suggestions for future avenues for research.
Transparency and Journalism is an important resource for students
and scholars in the field of journalism and media studies, as well
as for journalists and researchers interested in delving into an
ever-relevant topic for the field.
How did the North European states react to the terrorist attacks in
the United States on September 11, 2001? Michael Karlsson argues
that 9/11 led to a considerable pressure to strengthen rules and
practices for counterterrorism and security, but that this pressure
was mediated by several other conditions. The reforms were also
affected by, among other things, how the threat of global terrorism
was perceived, pressure from international institutions such as the
UN, EU, and NATO, the domestic political context, and pre-existing
rules and practices. His analysis uses the new institutionalism
framework, tested through case studies of Denmark, Sweden, Finland,
Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The book offers a unique lens on
the study of counterterrorism from a new theoretical and regional
perspective.

The digital infrastructure of media production, dissemination and
consumption is becoming increasingly complex, presenting the
challenge of how we should research the digital journalism
environment. Digital journalism takes many forms - we therefore
need to revise, improve, adjust and even invent methods to
understand emerging forms of journalism. In this book, scholars at
the forefront of methodological innovations in digital journalism
research share their insights on how to collect, process and
analyse the diverse expressions of digital journalism, including
online news, search results, hyperlinks and social media posts. As
digital journalism content often comes in the form of big data,
many of these new approaches depart from the traditional methods
used in media research in significant ways. As we move towards new
ways of understanding digital journalism, the methods developed for
such purposes also need to be grounded in scientific rigour. This
book aims to share some of the emerging processes by which these
methods, tools and approaches are designed, implemented and
validated. As such, this book not only constitutes a benchmark for
thinking about research methods in digital journalism, it also
provides an entry point for graduate students and seasoned scholars
aiming to do research on digital journalism. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Digital Journalism.

The idea that journalism should be independent is foundational to
its contemporary understandings and its role in democracy. But from
what, exactly, should journalism be independent? This book traces
the genealogy of the idea of journalistic autonomy, from the press
freedom debates of the 17th century up to the digital, networked
world of the 21st. Using an eclectic and thought-provoking
theoretical framework that draws upon Friedrich Nietzsche, feminist
philosophy, and theoretical biology, the authors analyze the deeper
meanings and uses of the terms independence and autonomy in
journalism. Â This work tackles, in turn, questions of
journalism’s independence from the state, politics, the market,
sources, the workplace, the audience, technology, and algorithms.
Using broad historical strokes as well as detailed historical case
studies, the authors argue that autonomy can only be meaningful if
it has a purpose. Unfortunately, for large parts of journalism’s
history this purpose has been the maintenance of a societal status
quo and the exclusion of large groups of the population from the
democratic polity. “Independence,” far from being a shining
ideal to which all journalists must aspire, has instead often been
used to mask the very dependencies that lie at the heart of
journalism. The authors posit, however, that by learning the
lessons of history and embracing a purpose fit for the needs of the
21st century world, journalism might reclaim its autonomy and
redeem its exclusionary uses of independence. Â
