Citizen-Centered Journalism and Contested Boundaries

This article explores the existence of a “citizen-centered journalism” that sees citizens as crucial participants in the construction of news and as co-creators of their own worlds. Through qualitative case studies of three news organizations, the article examines the motivation for using a citizen-centered approach, the news routines that are required to do so, the categories of content produced, and the perceived impact of this approach. The results suggest these news organizations are working in partnership with communities and striving to give a voice to historically marginalized communities. The journalists, however, see citizen participation as complementary to professional journalistic routines that favor verifiable information, rather than assigning inherent value to it for its own sake.     

Placing Facebook

Facebook is challenging professional journalism. These challenges were evident in three incidents from 2016: the allegation that Facebook privileged progressive-leaning news on its trending feature; Facebook’s removal of the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Napalm Girl” photo from the pages of prominent users; and the proliferation of “fake news” during the US presidential election. Using theoretical concepts from the field of boundary work, this paper examines how The Guardian, The New York Times, Columbia Journalism Review and Poynter editorialized Facebook’s role in these three incidents to discursively construct the boundary between the value of professional journalism to democracy and Facebook’s ascendant role in facilitating essential democratic functions. Findings reveal that these publications attempted to define Facebook as a news organization (i.e., include it within the boundaries of journalism) so that they could then criticize the company for not following duties traditionally incumbent upon news organizations (i.e., place it outside the boundaries of journalism). This paper advances scholarship that focuses on both inward and outward conceptions of boundary work, further explores the complex challenge of defining who a journalist is in the face of rapidly changing technological norms, and advances scholarship in the field of media ethics that positions ethical analysis at the institutional level.

刑法中“论处”规定的类型化解释

对刑法条文中“以……论处”规定的理解,关涉罪与非罪、此罪与彼罪的认定。“论处”条款赋予某一法律事实与另一事实相同的效果,包括定罪与量刑两个方面,并且具有注意规定或法律拟制的性质,而法律拟制则具有犯罪构成的定型功能。然而“论处”条款的设置却存在拟制不当和过度类型化的问题。因此,要从方法论角度,将相互包含、补充的类型思维与概念思维应用于“论处”条款的拟制和司法实践当中,通过回归概念背后的原型,厘清类型中的核心要素与变量要素,对“论处”的具体情形作出恰当的类型化解释;同时从形式和实质两个层面对“论处”规定类型化解释的适用范围加以合理限制,使规范条文罪刑法定要求与事物本质规范评价达成一致性,从而实现论处结论的合法性、合理性和可接受性。
