Finally some news about news: news process transformations in Swedish multi media newsrooms

Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze and discuss the contemporary transition of news journalism practices in traditional mass media in Sweden within an increasingly digital and more competitive media environment. The results of this study indicate that newsroom practices and news making processes are strongly influenced by the changes within the new media environment. Some traditional criteria for news values and news selection prevail, but the demand for exclusive news stories and news stories with a great visualization potential has increased in all kinds of media.
