COMPETENCES OF THE GOOD JOURNALIST 1 "Investigating US and UK television broadcasting, Brian McNair (1998, 119) finds that ‘the style of journalism has gradually come to take precedence over substance’. Competition, intensified by the emergence of cable and satellite television channels in the 1970s and 1980s, has turned the bulletins of traditional news organisations into entertainment, focusing on interesting, rather than important, stories. The rise of infotainment is a clear indication that competition on the media market does not necessarily improve quality. Pseudo-events, i.e. public appearances by politicians such as interviews, press conferences and political performances organised by spin doctors (cf. Boorstin 1961/1992), cost-efficient for media to cover, have become commonplaceon television. When broadcasting pseudo-events, however, journalists allow political actors to set and frame the news agenda and hence divert attention from abuses that they wish to hide from the public eye. One may add to McNair’s observation dating from the 1990s that the rise of social media platforms in the 2000s and 2010s enabled political elites to more efficiently impose their own agendas and frames on the public, as they can now bypass professional journalists and address voters directly and uninterruptedly. As a result, professional journalists may find themselves in a passive and reactive position. To take McNair’s line of thought further, we can suggest that good journalists have the competence of not letting politicians set and frame the news agenda. They should not only report on issues raised by political elites but also break stories based on independent sources. Of course, journalists cannot completely ignore pseudo-events, yet they can cover them critically and put them in context, noting that many pseudo-events have been orchestrated by campaign experts."
