The challenges of journalists in facing the new normal of the COVID-19 pandemic2022 •
Media performance in providing information, educating people and conducting social control of the change process is influenced by various factors including external factors. The new normal condition of the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the work patterns of journalists. Recently, the press in Indonesia has encountered such a dilemma because the policies and information from the government have shown various inconsistencies and errors. This study illustrates the problems and challenges faced by journalists during the new normal conditions. This study adopted a qualitative descriptive approach with in depth interviews and focus group discussion techniques with journalists in Malang Raya, Indonesia. The results showed that journalists have encountered internal and external challenges during the pandemic. Internal challenges were related to editorial policy that determines the point of view of news and work pattern policy during the pandemic. For safety reasons, the editor prohibited journalists from covering directly in the field. The establishment of a news point of view puts pressure on journalists in carrying out their profession. External challenges come from the government and the Task Force related to information disclosure, the crisis of civility from public officials during the pandemic and inconsistencies in law enforcement for violations of health protocols. Finally, this research suggests five recommendations to strengthen the press's role during the pandemic. They consist of the role of mainstream mass media against hoaxes, editorial policies putting forward health perspectives, packaging news simply and straightforwardly, collaboration between mass media agencies and demanding information disclosure from the government and the COVID-19 Task Force.

Conceptualising journalism as research: Two paradigms2011 •
At a time when academics are being required to provide evidence of productivity in both teaching and research, there has been an urgent need to dene and capture the research value of journalistic activity for those journalism academics who want to continue their active journal-ism practice. Just as journalism practitioners have had to capture the theory of practice for their teaching, they now must demonstrate when and how their journalism practice qualies as legitimate research in order to ensure their own viability as researchers in the tertiary sector. This requires that journalism be conceptualised in research terms. This can take the form of research on practice, where journalists as reec -tive practitioners capture the theory embedded in their work. In this way, new knowledge is added in an academic area that remains under-theorised. It can also take the form of research through practice, where journalism techniques can be deployed as research methodologies to yield new insights in other discipline areas. This can open up oppor-tunities for access to sources of research funding that may previously have been inaccessible to journalism as a discipline in its own right. This paper uses two examples to illustrate how the conceptualising of journalism as research can work in practical terms
As a working freelance science journalist, formally learning qualitative research provided me with an opportunity to directly compare qualitative research methods to journalism. My impetus was a comment by Lincoln and Denzin (2008) in their introductory qualitative research text that stated others have deemed qualitative research “journalism” as an insult. In this self study, I report how qualitative research methods influenced my journalism in five phases: developing questions, conducting an interview, transcribing, analysing data, and writing. The study revealed aspects of both practices, and how they might each benefit from the ontology of the other. In particular, journalism practice was improved by an expanded breadth and specificity of questions, formal analysis techniques to elucidate themes, and greater attention paid to relational and contextual aspects of the interview. Qualitative research was enhanced by an emphasis on the audience for the report. These findings have implications for the educational value of qualitative research methods well beyond graduate courses in social sciences.

Analysis of Changes in the Journalistic Profession Caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, Including Communication with Target Groups and the Use of New Technologies2020 •
The purpose of this article is to identify and describe the changes that have occurred in the journalistic profession during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research methods: quantitative research conducted on a sample of 316 media journalists operating in Poland, designed and carried out under scientifi c supervision of the author of this article with the participation of experts representing the Polish Press Agency and the Institute for Information Society Development. Results and conclusions: the pandemic has caused signifi cant changes in the journalism industry. The most important of them concerned the building and maintenance of relations with target groups by journalists, the tools they use and their involvement in new journalistic formats. The journalists' switch to obtaining information using online tools took place without any major problems. Cognitive value: the work is of a research nature, it contains a number of conclusions and analyses from the quantitative research carried out. They can be used in assessing the situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as for planning further research, especially in areas requiring extensive exploration.

The Challenges of Communicating Research Findings: A Journalist’s PerspectiveScience reporting is not a daily routine in most media houses in Kenya and worldwide at large. Unlike sports, politics, business, arts and culture, Science reporting is generally placed on the fringes of mainstream journalism. A critical analysis of media operations, shows that there are various deep-rooted factors that tend to keep science at the bottom of newsgathering, packing and dissemination. The beginning point is journalism schools that traditionally avoid admitting students with science backgrounds or strong interest in science reporting, preferring those excelling in literature, languages, history and others. The courses offered hardly mention the coverage of science. In addition, issues such as media social responsibility, newsroom competition, newswriting basics and how they affect reporting complex scientific issues have been extensively addressed. The article has also addressed the critical challenges facing science reporting, bridged the divide between science and jou...
