Ajan hallinta ja tiivistyminen journalismissa
Artikkelissa arvioidaan journalismin suhdetta aikaan kolmen ulottuvuuden kautta. EnsimmÀisellÀ ulottuvuudella kÀydÀÀn lÀpi tutkimuksia, joissa on eritelty journalistisia esityksiÀ suhteessa menneeseen, nykyhetkeen ja tulevaisuuteen. Toinen ulottuvuus koskee journalismin sisÀisiÀ aikarytmejÀ ja sitÀ, miten journalistisessa työprosessissa pyritÀÀn hallitsemaan aikaa sekÀ toimittajien kokemuksia aikapaineista. Kolmanneksi pohditaan journalismin ja mediainstituution suhdetta yhteiskunnan erilaisiin aikarytmeihin. NÀitÀ kolmea ulottuvuutta on tarkasteltu yleensÀ erikseen, ja artikkelin tavoitteena on nivoa ne yhteen, jotta saisimme monipuolisemman kuvan journalismin suhteesta aikaan. Artikkeli tukeutuu Barbara Adamin jaotteluun ajan tavaroitumisesta, tiivistymisestÀ, hallinnasta ja kolonisoinnista modernissa ja myöhÀismodernissa yhteiskunnassa. Artikkelin lopussa pohditaan kysymystÀ, onko journalismi menettÀmÀssÀ aiemman roolinsa yhteiskunnallisen elÀmÀn aikatauluttajana ja tahdistajana.Peer reviewe
Science and Expertise under Fire : Political Control, Online Harassment and Freedom of Expression
Mediatisation of science and the rise of promotional culture
This chapter reviews the mediatisation concept,which has recently made a strong impact in media and communication studies, particularly in the field of political communication but also in science communication. It discusses the outcomes and problems of mediatisation research in relation to shifting science communication practices. The chapter introduces the concept of promotional culture in order to put the mediatisation of science into the broader social and cultural context of com-mercialisation and marketisation of research and universities.Peer reviewe

The trickle-down of political and economic control: : On the organizational suppression of environmental scientists in government science
In many countries, attempts to suppress scientists as public experts have become more prevalent. In democratic countries, environmental scientists have been a particular focus of control. This article looks at structures and mechanisms of suppression of government researchers. It is based on a qualitative analysis of ten in-depth interviews with environmental researchers being employed or engaged in government science. The analysis is influenced by a power-theoretical perspective on the suppression of science. By analyzing the intervieweesâ accounts, it scrutinizes the different ways in which political and economic control can trickle down in research organizations such as state research institutes and come to affect individual researchers. The focus is especially on the interlinking of political and economic influence of external actors with different forms and practices of control at the organizational level. Three forms of such trickle-down are identified and discussed: internalization of political and economic control, external influencing and bureaucratic control, and economic/interest group influence in research organizations. We argue that these forms of control function as a filtering layer of suppression between political and economic control and individual scientists out of the public eye regarding government science.Peer reviewe
Freedom of Expression Challenged : Scientistsâ Perspectives on Hidden Forms of Suppression and Self-censorship
The media have become an important arena where struggles over the symbolic legitimacy of expert authority take place and where scientific experts increasingly have to compete for public recognition. The rise of authoritarian and populist leaders in many countries and the growing importance of social media have fueled criticism against scientific institutions and individual researchers. This paper discusses the new hidden forms of suppression and self-censorship regarding scientists' roles as public experts. It is based on two web surveys conducted among Finnish researchers in 2015 and 2017. We focus on answers to the open-ended questions in these surveys, where respondents reflect upon issues of freedom of expression and the feedback they receive in public arenas. Building on previous research on suppression, "research silencing," and the "chilling effect," we discuss the connection between freedom of expression and freedom of inquiry. We make a distinction between four forms of suppression: political and economic control, organizational control, control between rival academics, and control from publics. Moreover, we make explicit and discuss the means, motives, and practices of suppression within each of these four forms.Peer reviewe
