This ethnography of digital news-making at a newspaper in Beijing, China, develops the argument that contemporary journalists’ prevalent use of digital information technologies is contributing to the rise of a ‘reader-less’ orientation within the profession. That is, a situation in which journalists increasingly feel that they can no longer afford to be guided by a commitment to meeting the informational interests of an imagined community of readers, but must instead work to advance the representational interests and agendas of various government and corporate organizations. By showing how digital news-making arrangements put pressure on journalists to construct their profession in this manner, and discipline themselves into accepting the reduced forms of socio-political agency that such constructions entail, the essay engages with broader concerns about the media’s changing logics and functions, and suggests that ‘reader-less’ orientations may be an emergent feature of contemporary media production that future ethnographies can fruitfully attend to.

The Impact

In modern conditions of overall informatization, the majorities of children of older pre-school age actively use gadgets and have access to the Internet. However, just one-fourth of parents demonstrate concerns about digital security. That is why the issues associated with cybersecurity training in preschool education, legislative regulation in ensuring the security and development of children in a digital environment are relevant for present-day pre-school education. The study was based on the activities carried out by teachers and psychologists of the methodology association of the Leninsky district of Yekaterinburg. The methods used in the study involved observations, the analysis of information obtained through counseling and psychological checks, interviews, surveys of instructors and specialists dealing with parents in kindergarten. As a result, we revealed the problems with digital competence among all the participants of the process of upbringing and education and defined the impact of parents on the formation of digital literacy. Of special interest is a new position when the modern parent is given a “relief” from a child with the help of gadgets, which calls for family psychological support on pre-schoolers’ secure use of digital technologies. The main task of working with parents is to shape perceptions of the problems associated with free contacts of the child with information technologies and the necessity to control digital information received by the child.

The Creation

Abstract:In the past, in an analog world, libraries—to meet their informational responsibilities—preserved newspapers in analog form and on microfilm. With the emergence of digital technologies, preservation has evolved, and so has the creation of news. These evolutions have challenged libraries to meet their old (and ongoing) responsibilities, and they have faced this challenge by continuing to think of news in the old way: as a commodity to be captured and stored as they have always done it, by themselves, in traditional ways. Today news is not as static as it once was: a version produced for a morning audience; another, modified, for an afternoon or evening audience; each discrete and preservable by itself. News is fluid: it is created and grows as it emerges; and the news media let the information evolve as it evolves in real time. Capturing and preserving this new kind of resource forces libraries and other news-preservation agencies to rethink the old models of operation. Preservation of the news should be done with a new model of cooperation, as the present essay explains.
