Reporting on labour: class consciousness and the uncertain ideological boundaries of canadian journalism

Costain, Gene (author)

Eno izmed osrednjih vprašanj razprave je, ali lahko skupina večinskih delavskih poročevalcev ustvarja kulturo odpora v svoji praksi. Raziskava tudi preskuša dvojno razumevanje skupine kot interpretativne skupnosti in odpadniške kulture, tako da člani profesionalne skupine ne sledijo le togim profesionalnim vlogam v večinskem tisku. Članek osvetljuje specifično vlogo poročevalcev v obdobju pomembnih političnih sprememb in jih obravnava kot interprete družbenih dogajanj.

Abstract

One of the central questions in this study was whether a group of mainstream labour reporters could create a culture of resistance in their journalism practice. This research also tested a dual conception of the group as an interpretive community and a culture of dissent, rather than as just members of a profession adhering to the rigidities of their professional roles in the mainstream press. The goal in this study was to shed light on the reporters' unique roles during a specific period of change, and to view them as interpreters of unfolding social events during a time of significant political change.
