RITUALS OF TRANSPARENCY

Evaluating online news outlets' uses of transparency rituals in the United States, United Kingdom and Sweden

Pages 535-545 | Published online: 08 Jul 2010
 

Abstract

Transparency has been suggested as a new norm in journalism. However, few studies have investigated how the overarching notion of transparency is utilized in everyday news. The purpose of this study is to identify and compare how leading mainstream online news media in the United States, United Kingdom and Sweden make use of transparency techniques in news items. The results show that transparency has begun to affect online news but that current journalism practice is a long way from a fully fledged transparency norm.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The author would like to thank the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency for the support that made this study possible.
