Journalistic Authority - Legitimating News In The Digital Era - Carlson Matt

. .

Résumé :
When we encounter a news story, why do we accept its version of events ? Why do we even recognize it as news ? Matt Carlson argues that journalistic authority is not a thing to be possessed or lost, but a relationship arising in the connections between those laying claim to being an authority and those who, assent to it. Journalistic Authority weaves together journalists' relationships with their audiences, sources, technologies, and critics to present a new model for understanding journalism while advocating for practices we need in an age of fake news and shifting norms.
