- Abstract
- This thesis examines how a shift in a media’s ideological position affects the journalistic role, work practices, and professional ideals of the working journalists. Dagbladet Børsen serves as the case study, since the media announced a shift towards a new fact-based and impartial stance in January
2024. The thesis explores how such a shift influences editorial employees' understanding of their journalistic role, work practices, and professional ideals through qualitative interviews and ethnographic observations. The study is grounded in Claudia Mellado’s theory of Journalistic Role Performance (2015), Tuchman’s concept of objectivity (1972), and Bourdieu’s notions of doxa, habitus, and editorial capital (2005; Schultz, 2007).

This combined framework allows for an analysis of how the editorial staff perceive their journalistic roles and how they experience the impact of the new position as fact-based and impartial on their daily work practices and professional ideals. The findings suggest that Børsen’s new stance has, to varying degrees, influenced the editorial staff’s understanding of their journalistic role, work practices, and ideals. The analysis of the four dimensions – Intervention vs. Objectivity, Civic, Loyal-Facilitator, and Watchdog – reveals both continuity and change in journalistic roles, ideals, and practices at Børsen since the announcement of the new ideological stance last year. The thesis concludes with a discussion of findings as they act both as an extension of previous research and contradicts earlier research on Danish journalists' professional ideals. Future research could build on these findings by conducting critical discourse analyses of Børsen’s editorial content or enable comparative studies with similar business media outlets, such as Dagens Industri.
