- Summary
- This case study examines how journalists express their professional and personal identities on social media by looking into a subset of political reporters working for the Los Angeles Times Washington DC Bureau. The study adopts a qualitative triangulation methodology combining textual analysis, in-depth interviews and participant observation during a 3.5-month period, which were carried about in a sequential and then circular way. The results show that the political reporters perceive themselves primarily as professional journalists and try to act accordingly within both personal and professional networks; the reporters try to play a larger disseminator function on social media and a limited interpreter role, while they are wary about the adversarial and populist mobilizer functions. The reporters use lower professional standards in gatekeeping their social media streams. They show commonalities in finding the bottom line of political objectivity, but there are some muddled areas between. In the face of dilemma, the reporters use it as an alert to step back and act conservatively. The research contributes to the current literature that mainly relies on anecdotal evidence, and capture a sketch in the fast-changing media landscape to help news professionals and media managerial personnel evaluate the risks and chances in the digital trend
