Public service og politisk balance: En typologi

Abstract: In an effort to understand and categorize media bias and balance in broadcasting journalism, this literature review proposes a new typology of different types of political balance in the broadcasting media: a typology that is not only based on an examination of media content, but also an examination of antecedents. That is, media output should be analyzed as a function of input processes. A new typology will be presented covering concepts such as media bias and media balance. Hereby, a framework for classifying media content is outlined helping us to compare cases across media outlets and countries. Throughout the article, four empirical examples will be discussed. Focus is on West European public service media outlets and their coverage of election campaigns.

Danske journaliststuderende: Ret repræsentative reportere

Abstract: Our research based knowledge on Danish journalists is rather limited. As a step toward filling this gap this article studies Danish journalism students. The main question is who these students are, to what extent there are differences between the students from different universities, and to what extent the students can be seen as being different from the general population. Students at Roskilde University with respect to some questions appear to be a distinct group of their own. Nevertheless, the over all conclusion is that journalism students are rather re-presentative for young people with a similar socio-economic background. These conclusions are based on the largest survey analysis of Danish journalism students to date.

Eksperter i valgkamp: Proces eller indhold?

Abstract: Reference to experts in the Danish print press has exploded during the last decades. This article investigates how journalists refer to experts during an election campaign. Two general election campaigns are analysed: 1998 and 2007. In absolute numbers there is an overall increase for the four newspapers surveyed, but with individual differences. As the number of election campaign articles dropped dramatically in the same period, the share of expert articles rose. Contrary to international debates on increased process journalism, in both 1998 and 2007 an equal number of articles referred to the election campaign’s political content (i.e. they mentioned the topics promoted by the political actors during the campaign) and to the political process.

Nye roller i redaktionslokalerne - Hvad danske journalister gør og bør

Abstract: Norms as well as forms of news reporting have continuously undergone changes in Danish media history. This article presents an ethical model that can help understand past, present and future views on normative role conceptions in journalism. A model that has previously been used by media researchers to uncover public views on, what role journalists play today, and what role they should play in the future. The model can, however, also be used as a tool by news reporters, who are concerned with normative navigation in news reporting. All of which, is described and discussed in this article.
