Results indicated that journalists highly value professional roles associated with contextual reporting. Responses revealed new journalistic role functions, including the \u2018Contextualist\u2019, who placed high value on being socially responsible and accurately portraying the world. Analyses showed that younger journalists and female journalists highly valued three genres of contextual reporting: constructive journalism, solutions journalism, and restorative narrative. Additionally, a journalist\u2019s belief in activist values such as setting the political agenda and pointing to possible solutions predicted more favorable views of all three forms of contextual journalism, while belief in an adversarial attitude predicted less favorable views of restorative narrative.[\/vc_column_text]<a href=\"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/1464884916683553\" title=\"Read Full Article\" class=\"vcex-button theme-button inline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"theme-button-inner\">Read Full Article<\/span><\/a> [\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1616606431423{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221; width=&#8221;800&#8243; align=&#8221;left&#8221;]by Nicole Dahmen (with Karen McIntyre, VCU, and Jesse Abdenour, UO) A survey (N\u2009=\u20091,318) evaluated US newspaper journalists\u2019 attitudes toward contextual reporting \u2013 stories that go beyond the immediacy of the news and contribute to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,8],"tags":[],"post_series":[],"class_list":["post-381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-academic-journal-articles","category-research","entry","no-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/catalystjournalism.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/catalystjournalism.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/catalystjournalism.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catalystjournalism.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catalystjournalism.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/catalystjournalism.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":382,"href":"https:\/\/catalystjournalism.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381\/revisions\/382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/catalystjournalism.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catalystjournalism.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catalystjournalism.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381"},{"taxonomy":"post_series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catalystjournalism.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_series?post=381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
