20.500.12556/RUL-179557 Hollow professionalism the case of news journalism in Slovenia This paper examines how journalistic professionalism in Slovenia is continually renegotiated through the interplay of normative ideals, ideological imperatives and material constraints. By tracing how normative commitments rooted in the principle of publicity interact with ideological imperatives and material constraints, professionalism in Slovenian news journalism is shown to be relational and constantly reconfigured. These forces converge uniquely, revealing tensions and compromises inherent in maintaining journalistic professionalism amid the reconfiguration of autonomy, the pauperisation of journalistic work, the proletarisation of the journalism community and the growing digitalisation and platformisation of news production. Introducing the concept of hollow professionalism, the paper argues that notwithstanding the symbolic architecture of professionalism in place, its normative core is ever more constrained by ideological influences and material pressures, leaving professionalism more performative and a matter of instrumental rationality. ideology journalistic professionalism materiality news journalism normativity novinarstvo ideologija Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Slovenija; Članek v reviji 2026-02-17 08:57:07 2026-02-17 08:57:10 2026-05-20 04:45:49 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 str. 145-160 iss. 2 Vol. 41 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 070:331.54(497.4) 1460-3705 10.1177/02673231261423018 268672771 Vobic_EJC_koncni.pdf Vobic_EJC_koncni.pdf 1 13FC842AB10A811ED8B2DE4DF1C6E69E c42140dd151b03dda41b888fcb8f3561efdbcd496d3c9e42e3999d89206f9d22 13238085-537c-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=234053 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02673231261423018 0 29f93094-537c-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=234054 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
