The Project examines the effects of precarious employment on journalists (RQ1) and on their work (RQ2). Furthermore, the study aims at exploring the adaptive response of journalists, including but not limited to aspects of journalistic entrepreneurship (RQ3). The aim is to establish how media professionals perceive the influence of the labor market conditions on their personal wellbeing, their professional conduct and their reporting, and which competences (in the sense of knowledge and skills) are required for adaptation – e.g., a professional (re-)orientation in the field of entrepreneurial journalism. From a theoretical and conceptual point of view, the project breaks new ground by combining journalism research with sociological precarization research. With the help of this approach, the study closes a research gap by investigating the effects of precarious employment conditions on journalists in various employment situations and, in particular, by examining the subjective perception of precariousness and its consequences for everyday journalistic work and the journalistic product. In addition, the project aims to investigate which solutions freelance journalists are pursuing, since this occupational group in particular finds itself in precarious working conditions. On the basis of a (1) standardized survey of 600 journalists, the study aims to shed light on how the precarization of the profession affects their lives and work. To deepen the findings, (2) qualitative interviews will be conducted with a total of 50 selected journalists. Finally, in a (3) project-related workshop, the research results will be discussed with representatives from academia and practice and thus fed back into the journalism education and practice.

该项目考察了不稳定就业对记者（RQ1）及其工作（RQ2）的影响。此外，本研究旨在探索记者的适应性反应，包括但不限于新闻创业的各个方面（RQ3）。其目的是确定媒体专业人员如何看待劳动力市场状况对其个人福祉、职业行为和报道的影响，以及适应需要哪些能力（在知识和技能方面），例如，在创业新闻领域的专业（重新）定位。从理论和概念的角度来看，该项目将新闻学研究与社会学不稳定研究相结合，开辟了新的领域。在这种方法的帮助下，本研究通过调查各种就业情况下不稳定的就业条件对记者的影响，特别是通过审查对不稳定的主观看法及其对日常新闻工作和新闻产品的影响，缩小了研究差距。此外，该项目的目的是调查自由记者正在寻求何种解决办法，因为这一职业群体尤其发现自己处于不稳定的工作条件中。在对600名记者进行标准化调查的基础上，这项研究旨在揭示新闻职业的不稳定如何影响他们的生活和工作。为了加深调查结果，(2)将对50名选定的记者进行定性访谈。最后，在一个与项目相关的研讨会上，与学术界和实践界的代表讨论研究成果，从而反馈到新闻教育和实践中。
