The concept of internal pluralism is employed in this chapter to delve into how journalists and editors from 18 countries worldwide understand and practice internal diversity in their newsrooms. The results reveal a tension between normative expectations of pluralism and the representation of society in news media, professional journalistic standards, and how aspirations to pluralism are taken into action through sourcing routines. Although the sample is diverse – not least in terms of political and media systems – there is a common trend of increasing awareness about the need for pluralism in the newsroom, and a shared lack of structures for incorporating this ambition in internal journalistic routines. |
