Taking Stock: Thirty Years of Transformation of Journalistic Labour 
/Thematic session 12/
2020 Nordic Working Life Conference
10–12 June 2020
Faculty of Social Sciences, Aaalborg University, Denmark
***

The journalistic profession and journalists' labour have undergone 
significant changes in the past three decades. These are linked to 
technological developments as well as broader socio-political and 
economic changes. Apart from the most widely studied influences – the 
impact of new technologies and economic pressures – the past thirty 
years also involved the transformation of the journalistic profession 
and labour as a result of the fall of communism in East Central Europe, 
the re-unification of Germany or the break-up of Yugoslavia. Studies on 
the working lives of journalists continue to be scarce. We reviewed all 
the volumes of three key academic journals devoted to the study of 
journalism, namely Journalism Studies, Digital Journalism and Journalism 
Practice and found a limited number of studies that deal with 
journalists' working lives and these tend to focus on the impact of 
technological change and economic pressures. The studies also tend to 
focus on the US and UK, with occasional research on Nordic countries.

In order to address the lack in research, we solicit abstracts for 
papers as part of a thematic session that will address three key areas:
1. What insights and developments has research on journalists' labour, 
working lives and conditions of work uncovered in the past three decades?
2. What gaps can we identify in such research?
3. What new avenues – including theoretical and methodological 
approaches – are required for future research?

Deadline for abstract submission: 1 October 2019
