The hybrid journalism that we do not recognize (anymore) / S. Splendore. - In: JOURNALISM AND MEDIA. - ISSN 2673-5172. - 2:1(2021 Feb 20), pp. 51-61. [10.3390/journalmedia2010004]
Abstract:
In the past 20 years the world of journalism has been swept by a wave of structural,
institutional and technological changes that have shaped the journalism that we experience today.
Following conceptualization of hybrid media, the term ‘hybrid journalism’ has been used to define
what journalism has become. Many scholars have subjected this label to scrutiny; they consider
hybridity to be a vague term that requires a more precise conceptualization. In this paper, we propose
that what to date has been called ’hybrid journalism’ has moved from the periphery to the center
of the field. Adopting a communicative ecology perspective, we highlight that the changes due to
technologies, which too often are regarded as merely disrupting the journalistic field, have now
become established and are accepted as core components of the work of journalists today. This
reconstruction work is mainly discursive and is explained by considering journalism as a discursive
institution. We then explain the implications of studying journalism with acknowledgement that
hybrid forms of journalism that are central in the field are hybrid.
