Partners in Power

This historical analysis examines the relationship between investigative journalists and official sources through the prism of Pulitzer Prize archive materials from 1917 through 1960. Most prize research has focused on the content of winning stories, but this study provides a fuller picture of the process of newsmaking—and policymaking—through an exploration of deliberative material created by prize juries. While the role of the press in these decades and beyond has been conceptualized alternately as a passive lapdog or an aggressive watchdog, this essay offers a more nuanced view of newspapers that are fully entangled with power in society—sometimes collaborating with a faction of power, sometimes confronting a faction, and, often, both at once. Detailed jury notes on the nominations tell the stories behind the investigations, revealing a press that sometimes leads and other times takes the lead from those in positions of official power. The paper adds to the literature on policy and media agenda building, arguing that through investigative reporting, journalists have often been active rather than passive partners in systems of community standard maintenance.     

An Enduring Ethos

In the twentieth century, in the United States, ideas of professional practice in journalism and journalism education grew up together. Occupational norms and professional practices were inscribed in reporting textbooks, which reflected the values of their era. They show a continuity of praxis, and an “enduring ethos” of journalistic values that survived into the 1960s and 1970s, in time to be picked up by the studies of Johnstone and then later Weaver and Wilhoit. This ethos including notions of public service, often tied to notions of objectivity, accuracy and fairness. This study includes a close reading of 34 textbooks published over a period of nearly 70 years, from the 1890s through the 1960s, drawing from a larger corpus of material that includes 69 textbooks from the same period. As sites of professional discourse making and continuity, textbooks show how journalism's values are passed down through time.

国际视野下的成人教育工作者专业化之困境及出路

国际社会,特别是发达国家成人教育界都较早地重视起成人教育工作者的专业化问题,而在我国,至今鲜有开展专门针对成人教育工作者专业化问题的讨论,即使偶有涉及,也仅限于成人教师.由于成人教育工作者构成的复杂性,目前世界范围内的成人教育工作者的专业化仍然面临重重困境和难题.因此,正确认识并解决这些问题,应是成人教育工作者的职责.     

走向校长专业化

校长职业只有走入专业化进程,才能提升校长群体的职业素养,才能满足社会改革和教育发展的需要。校长专业化所需要的知识应该是能促进校长群体提升职业活动水平的知识,能为校长群体的职业活动提供有效指导的知识。建构校长专业化的知识基础,除了利用已有知识,还需要生产新的实践性知识。校长是重要的人力资源,制约校长专业化最重要的因素是校长管理制度,应依据人力资源管理理论建立健全校长管理制度,通过制度建设促进校长的专业化进程。

我国教师专业化研究：成绩、局限、展望

教师专业化研究是近年来教育研究中的热点课题。我国大陆地区教师专业化研究取得了较大的成绩,主要表现在对教师专业化的界定、专业化内涵及其结构、专业化过程、促进专业化的因素等几个问题有了比较深刻的认识。同时,该项研究也存在一些局限,如就量与质而言,成果多而且杂,缺乏有效的整合;受西方相关研究影响太深,本土化研究范型亟待强化;许多成果主要集中在"名师"研究上,对面广量大的普通教师关注不够。未来该项研究将呈现本土化、超越技术、去精英化等趋势。     

IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY IN THE NEWSROOM?

In an attempt to produce more news stories, faster and on different platforms, the national Danish Broadcasting Corporation, DR, has introduced a new workflow. This new workflow is based on principles and practices known internally as “the news engine,” and it has brought with it changes in regards to both the news products, the news processes and the individual news producers. This article is based on newsroom observations, interviews with employees and content analyses, and it shows how the practice of journalism at DR News has been altered in several ways after the implementation of the news engine. The changes in DR News have become the inspiration for other television stations, and the study concludes by discussing how this particular workflow affects the profession of journalism. Rather than a proletarianization of the profession, this study points to a polarization where some journalists experience a deskilling and a decrease in autonomy, while others experience an increase in autonomy as part of a process of reskilling and multiskilling.
