dc.description.abstract | Findings in recent research suggest that online journalism is much less innovative
than many researchers and scholars predicted a decade ago. Research into online
journalism has, however, been biased towards a focus on online news journalism,
thereby neglecting the magnitude of new styles and genres that are currently
emerging in online journalism. In this paper the findings of a longitudinal
ethnographic case study of the development of a section for feature journalism in the
Norwegian online newspaper dagbladet.no is presented. The study is framed by an
understanding of innovation as a process where organizational structures and
individual action interact. The findings suggest that individual action has been
downplayed as a determinant for processes of innovation in online newsrooms in
previous research, and that a substantive grounded theory of innovation in online
newspaper is made up of five factors: newsroom autonomy, newsroom work culture,
the role of management, the relevance of new technology and innovative individuals. | en_US |
