Summary

The workshop will explore the challenges that researchers face with the blurring of boundaries between news producers and consumers in the digital public sphere. We will discuss theoretical and methodological tools to map and analyse actors in online news ecosystems (journalists, engaged citizens, and other information producers), their self-perceptions, motivations, status and relationships. The profiles of participants will foster an interdisciplinary approach (journalism studies, public communication, information engineering), and the outcome of the workshop will be a roadmap for international comparative research on the role of professional journalism in fostering deliberative democracy.
