[csaa-forum] Roundtable "Journalism work, identity and reform in the digital era", with Mark Deuze, Friday 28 November 2014

[Penny O'Donnell]

The Department of Media and Communications presents

Roundtable "Journalism work, identity and reform in the digital era", with Mark Deuze


This roundtable on ‘Journalism Work, Identity & Reform in the Digital Era’ brings together media academics and practitioners to discuss emerging trends in news production, media work, journalism practice models, professional identity, and media reform. Moving beyond debates about business models and user-pays news, the roundtable will canvass progressive approaches to thinking about the future of post-industrial journalism, and the ways journalists – working in newsrooms or alternative settings – might systematically and sustainably contribute to, and reconfigure the democratic role of news. Topics for discussion include the de-institutionalisation of journalism, the entrepreneurial turn, the politics of news work, new forms of digital storytelling, and digital news ethics. Mark Deuze, a leading international scholar in the field of media work, will begin the discussion with a short presentation on his latest research on journalism and the enterpreneurial society.
Date: Friday 28th November, 2014
Time: 12:00-17:00

Dr Mark Deuze was appointed to the position of Professor of Media Studies in April 2013, specialising in journalism, at the University of Amsterdam’s (UvA) Faculty of Humanities. His research covers two fields: the manner in which peoples’ lives increasingly feature in the media, and the employment positions and work experiences of journalists in the Netherlands. The journalism profession has been subjected to profound changes in recent years. Deuze is particularly interested in journalists practising their profession outside the context of an editorial team or permanent employment (e.g. freelancers, self-employed persons with no staff, and a wide range of other business structures, such as formal and informal editorial collectives, as well as correspondents). Since such journalists form the majority in journalism, particularly the younger generation, it is vital to know who they are, how they manage to practise their profession and what views steer and add significance to their work.

Deuze is the author of seven books on journalism and media, among them Media Life (Polity Press, 2012), Managing Media Work (Sage, 2012) and Media Work (Polity Press, 2007). He has also published articles in Media Culture & Society, the International Journal of Cultural Studies and Journalism Studies, among other scientific journals.
