- Title
Raising Our Game: Effects of Citizen Journalism on Twitter for Professional Identity and Working Practices of British Sport Journalists.
- Authors
McEnnis, Simon
- Abstract
This article presents a study that examined what citizen journalism on Twitter has meant for the professional identity and working practices of British sport journalists, using data from a series of in-depth, semistructured interviews. Sport journalists recognized the need to strive for higher professional standards to ensure that their output is of greater cultural significance than that of citizen journalists. Trust--achieved through the ideologies of truth, reliability, and insight--was seen as essential to achieving this distinction. The democratization of breaking news has meant that red-top tabloid and 24-hr rolling news environments must reinvent themselves by making greater use of other journalistic practices including investigative reporting.
