Journalism research has for long prioritized studying political journalism and the media as a political public sphere. This political leaning is closely linked to the idea of a professional, autonomous, and versatile press, addressing issues of societal importance, as the precondition for democracy. However, a research agenda on arts and cultural journalism, cultural criticism in the media, and the cultural public sphere is currently emerging, pointing to cultural journalism as a growing subfield, which is of considerable public significance, and which may reinforce media institutional brands. In this special issue of Journalism Practice on cultural journalism and cultural criticism across media platforms, we invite researchers to contribute to and elaborate on this emerging research agenda by investigating some of the following issues: - Demarcating cultural journalism: How can we conceptualize cultural journalism and cultural criticism in contemporary media culture? - Cultural journalism in a globalized media society: How are global/local cultural diversities negotiated in the form and content of arts and cultural journalism – for example in national and/or cross-national perspectives? - The interplay of the cultural industries and cultural journalists: Which patterns characterize the interplay of cultural producers/distributors and cultural journalists – for example within specific and/or across cultural fields in the increasingly cross-mediated communication environment? - Professionalization/de-professionalization of cultural journalists: How does the increasing heterogeneity of cultural arbiters of taste in contemporary media culture influence and transform the production of cultural journalism and cultural criticism?
