Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This special issue is a timely contribution to journalism studies.It amply demonstrates the richness and empirical breadth of cross-border journalism.The articles discuss cases that lay out important aspects in the current juncture, as journalism is beset by authoritarianism, labor precarity, and violence around the world.In this article, my goal is to identify key issues in the study of cross-border journalism, considering findings and arguments presented in this issue and previous research. DefinitionCross-border journalism is a capacious concept.It refers to collaborations among an array of institutions (e.g., news organizations, funders, freedom of the press organizations) based in different countries.Cross-border journalism features institutional partners with different types of professional capital: knowledge (sources, contacts, understanding of local conditions), thematic/ subject expertise, funding/networks, and technical skills (reporting, production, format, data analysis).Journalists and news organizations based in different countries and regions partner up to cover stories and strengthen local reporting with transnational dimensions and implications.They collaborate around several initiatives: news projects/stories; funding and technical support for news organizations; the use of local labor by global news organizations; and training programs on professional skills, digital safety, and other issues.Cross-border journalism also underlies myriad examples of global journalism, that is, news coverage of cross-border risks and problems that focuses on the connections among phenomena in different corners of the world.
