10. Pillow talk: news becomes intimate
not just personalised
• Always on
• Instant
• Live playing video
• News is blended
• Part of your private media
life
• Demands attention
• Expects interaction
• A relationship, not a
product
16. Why do we share news content?
• To bring valuable and entertaining content to
others
• To get get the word out about causes or issues
they believe in
• To define ourselves to others: an emotional
act
17. What are the consequences of this
for journalism impact and quality?
29. • "We expect broadcasters as fellow human
beings to neuter and cauterise their own
emotion to what they see. Jon has seen a lot
of suffering around the world in the last 40
years, and we should respect that emotion.”
• John Ryley, Sky News
32. “The better we get at modelling user
preferences, the more accurately we construct
recommendation engines that fully capture
user attention. In a way, we are building
personalized propaganda engines that feed
users content which makes them feel good
and throws away the uncomfortable bits.”
Gilad Lotan, Data Scientist, 2015
36. Quote for KWJ and Jeffreys“The epistemological tensions between the
historical professional paradigm of objectivity on
the one hand, and the more emotional styles of
citizen journalism, user-generated content and
social media on the other, are therefore by no
means resolved. Rather, what this chapter has
demonstrated are some potentially productive
spaces of encounter between them. This encounter
results in dynamic and variegated outcomes
circulating across amateur and professional forms
of news production and traditional and new media
platforms.”
• Wahl-Jorgensen

journalism incorporate traditional
