Studenten journalistiek in Nederland: Profiel, motieven en rolpercepties

Sinds een aantal jaren bestaat internationaal een groeiende wetenschappelijke belangstelling voor journalistiekstudenten. In Nederland echter is deze groep nog niet eerder onderwerp van onderzoek geweest. Juist het huidige tijdsbestek maakt onderzoek naar degenen die in Nederland het journalistieke métier ambiëren interessant en relevant. In de journalistiek vinden, mede door de digitalisering en marktwerking, allerlei veranderingen plaats, die ook gevolgen hebben voor de positie van journalisten. Door krimpende redacties en een groeiend aantal freelancers is hun bestaan aanmerkelijk onzekerder geworden (Cohen, 2015). Desondanks is het aantal jongeren dat zich jaarlijks bij de journalistiekopleidingen aanmeldt, nog steeds aanzienlijk. Het journalistiekonderwijs zelf is bovendien in de afgelopen decennia sterk verwetenschappelijkt. Deze internationale trend brachten Splichal en Sparks, pioniers in het onderzoek naar journalistiekstudenten, ertoe om in dit verband de term graduatization te munten (1994, p. 114)

Media and juvenile delinquency: A study into the relationship between journalists, politics, and public

Between 2007 and 2011, the number of registered juvenile suspects declined by 44 percent, but the Dutch public did not feel any safer. In this research, we study media coverage of youth crime and interview journalists and their sources in order to investigate the relationship between journalists, their sources, and the possible effects on the public with respect to fear of crime. We find an overrepresentation of youth crime in news coverage, especially in the popular press, and a stronger episodic focus over time. All media focus increasingly on powerful sources that focus on repressive framing, but this is especially found in the elite press. We conclude that news coverage in all media groups, although in different ways, does contribute to the fear of crime in society and the idea that repressive measures are needed. The fact that this fear of crime is also caused by news coverage is acknowledged, but neither journalists nor politicians are able or willing to change this

Fifteen Good Years

This article presents a content analysis of Management International Review for the fifteen-year period 1993–2007. A total of 360 papers appearing in the journal during that period were analyzed to identify the key trends in the evolution of Management International Review. The five major themes addressed included an examination of the nature of authorship, an identification and ranking of the most prolific authors, an evaluation of the characteristics of the articles, recognition of the most influential articles based on the number of citations they received, and an uncovering of the specific thematic areas within the published articles. The study combines publishing productivity and citation analyses. The conclusions derived from the study are presented and some guidelines for future research provided
