Abstract:
|
A temporary shutdown of radio and television reporters’ paging services in Israel used their withdrawal to study the technology’s role in journalism and the type of social arrangements it embodies in journalist–source relations. In contrast to expectations based on the "convergence" view, the ability to compensate for the absence of one technology by using an alternative one was limited. The limitations concern the technologies themselves less than their respective routine operation. The results: A large proportion of reporters missed parts of their stories and were late in discovering primary information. A small proportion lost entire stories. The greatest difficulties were encountered during live coverage of dramatic events, including terrorist attacks, during which reporters were demanded to keep on supplying information output while they received no input. Paradoxically, the pager belongs to sources but is worn on a journalist’s hip. Despite its limited features, and probably because of them, the pager is ranked as a vital journalistic tool. |
