Together in the encoding-assemblage: a new materialist framework for examining knowledge production in journalism.

Anderson, Bissie

Abstract

Journalism's broken monopoly over the production of knowledge (Carlson, 2017; Ekström and Westlund, 2019) has led to an erosion of public trust in professional journalism and a general "epistemic crisis" of the present (Steensen, 2019). Pioneer journalism communities around the world have actively sought a redress by transforming journalism's relations with its audiences and the communities it serves, while reimagining journalistic epistemology writ large (Anderson, 2023). Pioneer journalists are the vanguard of journalistic change as they transform journalism and point to its possible futures (Hepp and Loosen, 2021). This paper presents a novel analytical framework applied in a comparative cross-national study of knowledge production in four pioneer journalism communities in Pakistan, Romania, Malaysia and the UK.
