公民新闻现象和更广泛的用户生成内容趋势正在为主流媒体创造新的挑战和机遇。传统新闻媒体，如报纸，往往对将用户生成的内容整合到专业新闻制作过程中的方式表现出越来越大的兴趣。然而，关于参与式新闻的研究很少，但不断增加，这表明，新闻编辑部不同层次的几个背景因素阻碍了用户生成内容在新闻编辑部的采用。通过采用社会建构主义的方法来审视参与式新闻的发展，我们试图更好地理解这些因素是什么，以及它们如何影响用户生成内容的采用。通过对两家比利时报纸和一家当地社区网站的编辑部工作人员进行的20次半结构化采访，寻找了经验证据。我们的主要结论之一是，参与式新闻发展相当缓慢；然而，这往往是由于新闻编辑室的结构、工作惯例和专业信念，而不是专业人士不愿向用户提供信息的新闻生产过程。
The phenomenon of citizen journalism and the wider trend of user generated content are creating new challenges and opportunities for mainstream media. Traditional news media, like newspapers, tend to show increasing interest in the ways in which user generated content can be integrated into the professional news making process. Yet, scarce but growing research on participatory journalism suggests that the adoption of user generated content in the newsroom is hindered by several contextual factors on different levels of the newsroom organisation. By taking a social constructivist approach to examine the development of participatory journalism, we have tried to gain a better understanding of what these factors are and how they shape the adoption of user generated content. Empirical evidence was sought through twenty semistructured interviews with the newsroom staff of two Belgian newspapers and one local community website. One of our main conclusions is that participatory journalism is developing rather sluggishly; however this is often due to newsroom structures, work routines and professional beliefs rather than unwillingness among professionals to open up the news production process to user contributions.
