Project A investigates ‘pioneer journalism’ as a principal force in the re-figuration of journalism and its organizational foundations. We understand pioneer journalism to encompass new forms of journalism that are dedicated to re-defining the field. This includes journalism from established media organizations and startups alike, journalism supported by accelerators, or journalism pursued by individual pioneers. Pioneer journalism aims to establish new figurations for the production and distribution of journalism. Media and digital technologies play a crucial role in this re-figuration. As our preliminary research demonstrates, there exists a loose network across all of the above, a network that has the potential to form the basis of a journalistic pioneer community.With this in mind, Project A’s main research question is: what role does pioneer journalism play in the re-figuration of journalism’s organizational foundations? From this starting point, we plan to investigate German pioneer journalism across five analytical layers: first, through the use of a content analysis of self-descriptions, we will deliver a map of individual actors, startups, accelerators, and established organizations that play an important role in the pioneer journalism space and provide an overview of their perceptions of the field. Second, we will conduct a media ethnography at established news organizations to investigate the ways in which they are currently establishing new journalistic figurations. Third, we will investigate, again through a media ethnography, the establishment of new organizational figurations initiated by startups, accelerators and individual pioneers. Fourth, by way of a qualitative network and Twitter analysis, we will investigate the network of pioneer journalists, a network that has the potential to create a pioneer community across established media organizations, startups, accelerators, and individual journalists. Finally, we will integrate each of these analytical layers into an overall analysis of the re-figuration of journalism’s organizational foundations with the aim of typifying the patterns of its current transformation.With reference to the overall package’s objectives – that is to investigate the re-figuration of public communication in times of deep mediatization – Project A addresses the question What are the consequences of deep mediatization for the re-figuration of journalism’s organizational foundations? Project A contributes to Project B (on journalism-audience relationships) and to Project C (on individuals’ public connection) through its mapping of the principal pioneering forms of journalism, through the delivery of information on the organizational foundations of established media organizations and start-ups, and by providing information on users’ involvement in new journalistic, organizational figurations.

项目A调查了“先锋新闻业”作为重塑新闻业及其组织基础的主要力量。我们理解先锋新闻包括致力于重新定义该领域的新形式的新闻。这包括来自老牌媒体组织和初创公司的新闻，由加速器支持的新闻，或个人先驱追求的新闻。先锋新闻旨在为新闻的生产和发行树立新的形象。媒体和数字技术在这种重塑中扮演着至关重要的角色。正如我们的初步研究表明，存在着一个贯穿以上所有方面的松散网络，一个有可能形成新闻先锋社区基础的网络。考虑到这一点，项目A的主要研究问题是：先锋新闻在新闻组织基础的重塑中扮演什么角色？从这一起点出发，我们计划从五个分析层面对德国先锋新闻进行调查：首先，通过使用自我描述的内容分析，我们将提供在先锋新闻领域发挥重要作用的个人参与者、初创公司、加速器和成熟组织的地图，并概述他们对该领域的看法。其次，我们将在老牌新闻机构中进行媒体民族志研究，以调查它们目前正在建立新的新闻形象的方式。第三，我们将通过媒体民族志再次调查由初创企业、加速器和个人先驱发起的新组织形象的建立。第四，通过定性网络和Twitter分析，我们将调查先锋记者网络，这个网络有可能在老牌媒体组织、初创公司、加速器和个人记者之间创建先锋社区。最后，我们将结合每一个分析层面，对新闻业组织基础的重塑进行全面的分析，以典型其当前的转型模式。通过参考整个一揽子计划的目标-即调查深度媒体化时代公共传播的重塑-项目A解决了深度媒体化对新闻业组织基础重塑的后果这一问题。项目A对项目B(关于新闻与受众的关系)和项目C(关于个人的公共联系)作出了贡献，方法是绘制新闻的主要开创性形式，提供关于老牌媒体组织和初创企业的组织基础的信息，并提供关于用户参与新的新闻组织形象的信息。
