| Professional identity of tabloid journalists
The unclear border between popular and real journalism seems to influence the mindset and ambition of many within the trade. Despite what many believe, tabloid reporters follow the same principles and meet the set standard of the profession including its impartiality, morality and independence as their broadsheet counterparts (Deuze, 2005). He comes to this conclusion after a number of interviews with reporters of the tabloid newspapers. He also maintains that both types of journalist adhere to the moral duties, public service, editorial independence and integrity to 6 place themselves into a particular area of news. This possible ‘homogenization’ of popular and ‘hard’ journalisms can be seen as particularly impacting upon the occupational ideology of all journalists (ibid). Thus, it appears that the characteristics of tabloid journalism also display tendencies regarding journalistic skills and professionalism. A second significant aspect is that journalists in the tabloid realm of the business have independence to choose and report in specific issue, something which is commonly restricted in mainstream news media. However, this impartiality and freedom is an essential element of popular journalism. Moreover, Deuze (2005) stresses that a tabloid article can be structured around traditional investigative reporting approaches. The idea of being able to write with creativity about discovered information is paramount to the role of the tabloid reporter. On balance, the journalistic ethos can accordingly be viewed as being purposefully built by professionals operating in the popular media subjects, applying a similar narrative but from varying standpoints. Rather than a professional mindset, a type of specific philosophical foundation is what forms the journalist. This can influence the activities of journalists, who make the distinction between aspiring to be either a popular or a so-called hard journalist. It could be argued that such a justification of tabloid journalist in the defense their occupation shows that the development of tabloid journalism is also taking place in professional ideology of the profession. жүктеу/скачать 4,38 Mb.
