随着报纸走向网络平台，记者们正在努力发挥他们在社会中的权威作用。本研究的文件的政策发展，评论新闻文章，认为这些读者内容领域的边界工作的地方，记者与观众的关系，在互动新闻环境。这一民族志研究表明，记者和读者之间存在着重大的内部冲突。“传统主义者”--那些希望在记者和观众之间保持等级关系的人--与“融合者”--那些认为用户应该在新闻网站内获得更多自由的人发生了冲突。由此产生的政策通过将读者输入降级到特定的，结构化的空间而使新闻业获得特权。但这是第一次，观众参与了政策的制定，根据新闻规范之外的价值体系维护自己的文本特权。其结果是，新闻行业形成了一种宏大的身份情结，其特点是信息流模式中断，权力分散。决策和执行的体制等级正在发生根本变化。
As newspapers move toward web platforms, journalists struggle with their authoritative role in society. A documentation of policy development for commenting on news articles, this research considers these reader-content areas as places of boundary work for the journalist—audience relationship in interactive news environments. This ethnographic examination demonstrated significant internal conflict among both journalists and readers. The ‘traditionalists’ — those who want to maintain a hierarchal relationship between journalists and audiences — clashed with the ‘convergers’ — those who felt users should be given more freedoms within the news site. The resulting policy privileged journalism by relegating reader input to specific, structured spaces. But for the first time, audiences participated in that policy development, asserting their own textual privilege according to a value system apart from journalistic norms. The result was a grand identity complex for the news profession characterized by interrupted information flow patterns and diffused power over knowledge. Institutional hierarchies for policymaking and execution are radically changing.
