Authors:Kresten Roland Johansen, Jakob Dybro Johansen Abstract: Ekspertkilder optræder overalt i mediebilledet og bidrager til at give journalistikken autoritet og troværdighed. Men eksperterne udgør en broget forsamling og bruges i vidt forskellige roller og funktioner. Der mangler aktuel forskningsbaseret viden om, hvem de er, og hvad de bruges til. I denne artikel undersøges begge dele. Vi laver en indholdsanalyse af fire ugers dækning i 2021 i de tre største landsdækkende dagblade i Danmark (Jyllands-Posten, Politiken og Berlingske Tidende) og sammenligner resultaterne med eksisterende forskning. Knap halvdelen af dagbladenes ekspertkilder er privatansatte ikke-forskere. Økonomer og andre samfundsfagligt uddannede udgør 79 procent af disse. Blandt forskerkilderne udgør kvinder 22 procent. De er særligt underrepræsenterede inden for naturvidenskab. 86 procent af forskerkilderne udtaler sig om aktuelle begivenheder og andres forskning, mens 14 procent udtaler sig om egen forskning. I 98 procent af artiklerne med ekspertkilder castes en eller flere ekspertkilder til at levere vurderinger. Resultaterne rejser spørgsmål om journalisters kriterier for at udvælge ekspertkilder, og om journalister tildeler ekspertkilder deres autoritetsfunktion på et tilstrækkeligt kildekritisk grundlag.

Authors:Jaana Hujanen, Mikko Grönlund, Juho Ruotsalainen, Katja Lehtisaari, Viljami Vaarala Abstract: The article examines Finnish news professionals’ views on the ethical challenges that ensue from emerging and intertwining forms of local professional journalism and communications. Besides describing the current situation, the article employs data from a survey of editors-in-chief to investigate how news professionals anticipate the relationship between journalism and communications evolving in the future. Respondents perceived a blurring of the boundary between local journalism and communications. They observed economic pressures creating incentives for news media to compromise their journalistic ethics and ethical concerns arising from professional communications’ adoption of journalistic practices. Editors-in-chief maintained that the boundaries between journalism and other forms of communication are clear in their media but indistinct in other local news media outlets and in society in general. They predicted an ambiguous, even grim, future of local news media in Finland. However, local news media may have a positive future if they become distinct, attractive and relevant again to citizens.

Authors:Birgitte P. Haanshuus Abstract: Taking the dilemma between freedom of expression and censorship of antisemitic hate speech as a point of departure, this article explores how three prominent and controversial Norwegian far-right alternative media perceive and perform comment moderation and how editorial and audience perspectives on the issue correspond. Based on a critical discourse analysis of interviews with key staff members and a strategic selection of comment sections, the article demonstrates how both moderators and debaters understand the boundaries between legitimate and illegitimate expressions and how transgressive content should be dealt with. The article argues that when it comes to regulating comment sections, these oppositional media actors are not so alternative after all. The study illustrates how comment moderation is crucial for all actors who seek to obtain or protect their legitimacy, regardless of their (counter-) position in the public sphere. While there is widespread agreement on antisemitic hate speech as illegitimate, there is, however, more tolerance for generalising statements about Muslims and immigrants, which underpins these actors’ antagonism towards these groups.
