بين القرب و البعد : إضافة الجمهور إلى بحوث الصحافة

الملخص EN

Debate about what journalism provides and what the audience selects have a long tradition in communications research.

It’s about the appropriate degree of proximity and distance between journalism and its audience.

But, how do we define proximity and distance between journalism and audience? And What kind of relationship is it overall? Such questions are becoming even more pressing as media practices in the age of the internet blur the gap between news producers and consumers.

This work aims to provide an overview of the journalism/audience-relationship, to discuss the different ways this relationship has been conceptualised in empirical studies, and to give some reflections on the role of journalism research in this respect.
