20.500.12556/RUL-156199 News sources in the sociology of the media a critical re-examination Sourcing practices are among the central research topics within the sociology of the media. Empirical studies have analysed what and who are the major journalistic sources, demonstrating that the selections journalists make not only depend on their subjective choices, but are connected to the norms and routines established in the profession. While invaluable, these studies are primarily media-centric and focused on small-scale investigations, meaning they regularly ignore the social totality in which sourcing is inevitably embedded. Such studies hence also pay too little attention to the external actors that provide ‘information subsidies’ to journalists. By employing the framework of the public sphere, we show that news sources should be viewed as a topic of central social relevance that touches on wider power relations within society. Sociological approaches should thus be complemented with other critical traditions, for instance the political economy of communication. The latter approach’s value is revealed in brief sketches that point to the possibilities of achieving deeper understanding of the topic. sociology of news news sources sourcing practices journalism political economy of communication information subsidies communication inequalities public relations novinarstvo mediji sociologija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-05-14 08:46:14 2024-05-14 08:46:20 2024-06-08 04:20:23 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 795–812 iss. 4/5 Vol. 50 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 070:316 1569-1632 10.1177/08969205231217306 195305731 prodnik-vobic-2023-news-sources-in-the-sociology-of-the-media-a-critical-re-examination.pdf prodnik-vobic-2023-news-sources-in-the-sociology-of-the-media-a-critical-re-examination.pdf 1 0BC1B45DA08769DB0796B6FAEA1915D7 6db0c778f948ab2fba4ebc9a0adec8bdbfce4409888bfa13e883a9e35970ad65 deaa9eec-24cc-11ef-947b-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186023 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/08969205231217306 0 34473871-11be-11ef-a487-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=183522 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
