Abstract

The notion of engagement has evolved from the embodiment of civic involvement and political participation to a measurement of interactivity with digital journalistic products and a key performance indicator. This development, which we believe is far too reductionist (Steensen, Ferrer-Conill, and Peters, 2020) has its roots in the industry and it is closely followed by journalism studies scholarship. The proposed session seeks to challenge this perspective by problematizing and expanding the concept of "deep audience engagement", examining its dimensions and impact potential, and finding avenues for scholars and journalism practitioners working together towards more meaningful and relational engagement. To do so, this panel aims to foster a dialogue between journalism practitioners and academics in our shared goal to better understand, and improve, the relationship between journalism and audiences (and also between journalism research and practice).
