What non-mainstream journalism can(not) do: the "affect economy" of four journalism startups in Malaysia, Pakistan, Romania and the UK.

Anderson, Bissie

Abstract

Recognising that journalism operates within various constraints, scholars have theorised the relationship between journalism and its environment through a hierarchical model of influences (Shoemaker and Reese, 1996). Recently, there has been a reconsidering of this hierarchical conceptualisation towards a more relational positioning of journalism within hybrid and networked media systems (Chadwick, 2011; Örnebring and Karlsson, 2022; Reese and Shoemaker, 2016). This paper presents a comparative case study of the "affect economy" in four journalism startups in different locales characterised by various degrees of economic development and press freedom.
