This paper empirically addresses the notion that the word Innovation has been overly used by utilizing a quantitative content analysis on approximately 3.7 billion news documents in LexisNexis. The sample period ranges from 1980 to 2010 and altogether encompasses 2,013,143 documents containing the word Innovation, showing that the importance of the word Innovation has progressed by 132.62% over the entire sample period. From 1980 to 1994 the occurrence of Innovation remained relatively constant, while in 1995 the importance of Innovation apparently begins to rise to the year 2000 when it reaches its peak. In 2001 the occurrence of Innovation begins to decline slightly, but advances towards the end of the sample period again. In general, these findings indicate that the word Innovation has been mentioned quite more often within the last decades, reaching its peak of usage around the turn of the millennium, providing useful insights for journalists and corporate communications experts.</div>

With over five billion cell phones in use, over 100 million smart phones sold per quarter (Q4 2010), 600 million Facebook users (Jan 2011), one billion Google search queries per day (Mar 2011) journalism is no longer a gatekeeper of mass communication and knowledge dissemination. As the impact of print and broadcast diminishes, gatekeeping is evaporating, and the business of journalism has joined the innovation economy.<br />
<br />
Understanding innovation is becoming more important. The innovation ecosystems are ruling the futures of all people on the planet. Innovation is not only offering people improvements in their lives, it is also posing a number of threats to both individuals and societies.<br />
<br />
All people with an interest in the issue are welcome, journalists, communicators, academic researchers, innovation analysts, stakeholders in innovation ecosystems, and others.<br />

Some schools have gone beyond teaching multimedia skills to creating innovation centers for new media technologies. This study reports on a project that brought together students from seven journalism schools to create cutting edge innovations to help media organizations re-engage their audience. The process used the creation nets model that is popular in the business world but is rarely used in journalism. The paper teases out important lessons from the project that can be used in teaching innovation in journalism schools.</span></span>David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com39tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-29100840102033991942011-05-17T09:54:00.001-07:002012-03-27T11:50:40.359-07:00Reporting on the Reporters: Facebook and the journalistsInnovation Journalism Vol.8 No.2 May 17 2011.<br />

This article addresses results of a pilot study on the use of Facebook by journalists. The goal of the project was to acquire information about how journalists use Facebook and whether the results coincide with expectations. A secondary ethical issue reviewed in this study was whether or not journalists are concerned with maintaining professional distance on a social networking website. Uses and gratifications theory suggested the expectations of journalists are largely met on the social networking site. Social and business issues intertwine, with journalists generally split over ethical concerns. This pilot study introduces the subject and could be used as a foundation for further research.David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-79183823077948856702011-05-02T19:16:00.001-07:002012-03-27T11:51:23.733-07:00The Dimensions of Trust – Building Confidence through Innovation CommunicationInnovation Journalism Vol 8(1) May 3 2011<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">The aspect of trust is critical to the success of the communication of innovations, particularly in the context of the introduction of a new product. Due to the characteristics of innovations – especially those with a high degree of innovation – the target groups often view them with uncertainty or even fear. Since negative feelings have a stronger effect than the desire and interest in the new, (potential) customers are often reserved or even rejectful of the innovation. In order to help alleviate uncertainties and to build trust, companies must communicate their innovation to the target group by means of targeted trust communication. This study examines the aspect of trust using user participation in Web 2.0 innovation communication in the concrete example of the introduction of the hybrid vehicle Chevrolet Volt on the private social networking platform, Facebook. The results of the study allows the identification of four different levels of communication of trust: the level of relationship or communication, of the innovation, of the company and of the innovative product.</div>David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-84861642292261925172011-03-03T17:08:00.001-08:002012-03-27T11:51:45.268-07:00Theorizing Innovation Journalism - Notes from the classroom Innovation Journalism Vol. 7, No. 10. 30 Dec 2010<br />

<br />
Innovation Journalism may be understood as a reorientation of basic assumptions underlying the study, practice, research and education in journalism. The concept of Innovation Journalism denotes an idea of a ´beat´or a ´category´, but underlying the Stanford University variant of Innovation Journalism is a more comprehensive understanding ´a communication ecology´ where ´innovation´ seems to be taken for granted as something good for societal development, organizational development, and business development.<br />
<br />
Reflecting the profoundly cultural meaning of innovation as an idea, a key question is whether social innovation and business innovation can be understood as two pieces of the same stick, or not? One might understand the term ´ecology´ to denote harmony and balance – or society seeking it. Journalism, on the other hand, was born and bred with a focus on conflict and conflict narrative within a framework of democratic publicism. Hence, one aspect of theorizing Innovation Journalism is to clarify its applied understandings of innovation as a content theme in the news. Another is to clarify innovation as a term relating to the role of journalism in societal changes more macroscopically. A middle ground is to critique the notion of innovation as a guideline to the challenges now facing journalism and its narrative forms.<br />

Virtual worlds offer interesting possibilities in this context. On the basis of a multiple case study analysis, this paper examines the fields of use, the potential and the limits of innovation communication in the virtual sphere. The area of study was the 3D online world “Second Life”. It is characterized by its high profile, a realistic design and far-reaching business opportunities and has, moreover, already provided first examples of how companies have used such online communication in innovation management processes. With the help of case studies of eight companies from different industry sectors, the potential for innovation communication available in virtual worlds will be illustrated: these include the identification of trends, the generation of ideas, marketing new products and positioning the organization behind these products as an innovator.<br />

Null hypothesis (H0) is not an inviting theme for innovation and science journalists. But when it is not adequately described, the logic of the innovation or science story can become weak and the readers cannot evaluate the theoretical importance and novelty of the reported findings. This invites them to entertain false beliefs of what is new, what scientists actually know, what they see as possible and what they think about the reported issue. In the social and human sciences this can introduce false beliefs about our identity and about us as human beings. Here we analyze the journalistic relevance of H0 and give examples of its use and misuse. Paradoxically, we argue that in the expanding information space, there is a significant increase in the intellectual value of the best theories that fail in their scientific predictions.David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-62129077803634323162010-11-21T16:59:00.001-08:002012-03-27T11:52:48.892-07:00Who Are The Tech Press Darlings?<div style="margin: 0px;">Innovation Journalism Vol. 7 No. 7, 21 Nov 2010</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />

<b>An Empirical Stidy of Coverage of Innovation-Driven Tech Companies in US Newspapers.</b></div><br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">This paper contains a small study of empirical data collected between April 19, 2010 and May 19, 2010. The data is the five largest newspapers’ coverage of the ten largest innovation-driven technology companies in the US. The study is presented as a description of the current state of the presence of Innovation Journalism in American mainstream media. Newspapers have been chosen due to the fact that even though they are losing ground to web, mobile, tv and radio, newspapers still produce the vast majority of news stories proliferated through other media in the US.</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">The study shows an significant imbalance in coverage. There is a tendency towards coverage of two specific companies, Apple and Google. The difference between their presence in the newspapers, and the amount of coverage given to their competition is quite substantial, with the closest competitor, Microsoft, only obtaining approximately half of the coverage that the two companies get.</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">In the study, network mapping analysis is used to link journalists to companies in order to find out whether there are certain groups of journalists (e.g. specialized tech reporters) that help create imbalance by focusing on only a few innovators, or if –as is the case – it is a widespread tendency among all the journalists to cover Apple and Google more than others. The network mapping analysis is useful for identifying hubs, nodes in the network that are more connected than others, in this case either documenting that one journalist covers tech on a regular basis, or whether one journalist writes more positive stories about a company than negative stories.</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">The study also shows that positive stories are dominant. There is an approximate 20-30 percent difference in favor of the positive stories, sometimes even more. It is discussed whether this lack of balance and critical journalism is actually good for Innovation Journalism or not. Some argue that a positive slant works to build social capital for innovation in general, while others argue that not following ethical guidelines in Innovation Journalism actually diminishes coverage of the innovators and innovations that aren’t necessarily fashionable or popular at a given time – which creates an imbalance like the one we see towards Google and Apple.</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Finally, it is discussed what creates an imbalance like the present one, and how to find a solution to the problem. It is argued that it is the success of building an effective reputation and a lovable brand through non-traditional PR and advertising that gives Google and Apple the edge. Towards the end, this paper criticizes journalists for not trying to even out the balance, and seeks to find a reason why a more balanced coverage is not available to the public. It is argued that a self-reinforcing media hype, which stems from the effective attention work of Apple and Google, also has a blinding effect on journalists, creating the illusion that Apple and Google are all the public cares about – giving the editorial decision-makers a reason to cover them more.</div>David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-25600511189089228562010-11-21T14:57:00.001-08:002012-03-27T11:55:32.313-07:00How Silicon Valley Journalists Talk About Independence in Innovation CoverageInnovation Journalism Vol. 7 No. 6, 20 Nov 2010<br />

Silicon Valley has become known for innovations that have led to substantial changes for citizens around the world. In 1960s’-80s’ the innovation had to do with computers and electronics, 1990s-00s’ it was on Internet and Web services. Since the later part of the 00’s, clean tech has emerged as a keyword. The valley culture is known to stress the value of trust-based personal contacts. This applies also to journalists and their access to sources. This article discusses how this relates to traditional journalism norms that stress journalists’ independence from sources. Based on explorative, semi-structured interviews with journalists who cover the innovation economy in Silicon Valley, the article seeks to understand the professional challenges the network structure create for journalists and the strategies they apply. Comparing the results with previous research in journalism norms, this study suggests that as access to powerful sources becomes scarce and controlled journalists tend to be more innovative and diverse in shaping professional norms to balance access to sources with their readers’ mandate. The continued development of this diversity of norms, and its impact on society needs to be further explored.<br />

Reporting on technological innovation is especially seen to benefit from the scenario approach. This is to avoid an inherent sense of determinism present in much of the technology journalism. Moreover, the demand for horizontal, multidisciplinary analysis and the adoption of the systemic approach connect innovation journalism with the field of futures studies. The study at hand analyses the interconnections between innovation journalism and futures studies as regards values, goals, and applicability of methods. Along with theoretical considerations, a two-round Delphi is used to gather Finnish media experts’ notions of futures orientation in media. Emphasis is placed on analysing how journalists see writing about futures topics as well as on possible drivers and obstacles that either promote or restrain journalists’ adoption of a stronger futures approach into their work. The study combines theoretical arguments with the realities of the newsroom in trying to draw insights from futures studies to develop innovation journalism more into the direction of “futures journalism”. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><br />

Intangible assets are central for innovation through concepts such as trust, communication and social capital, though little previous research has focused on them. In this paper we look at the role of intangible assets for innovation through a literature review, and suggest that communication is vital, and that the different attention workers maintain the innovation ecosystem by brokering intangible assets, creating a shared language and setting the agenda for the future.</div>David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-20855008360933081412010-04-01T16:30:00.001-07:002010-05-20T18:54:05.867-07:00Welcome - you are visiting our new web address!<div>The address of the Innovation Journalism publication series is now here at this site.

This paper is part of a wider doctoral study focusing on the acculturation of press of record to the Internet. The article presents evidence persuading us that the on-going crisis that the Press is enduring (and has for a while), though raising constant concern on questions of survival and democratic mechanisms, also sees the formation of small areas in which experiences are run, while symbolically and economically strong companies continue to function normally (i.e. according to historical norms). Here we describe localized areas based on coverage newspapers provide regarding their relation to innovation, perhaps a place to mediate two cultures: ‘old,’ traditional newspaper culture and the Internet. These suggestions are based on interviews at Le Monde with different hierarchy practitioners and the analysis of diverse entities in articles covering innovation, especially those mentioning ‘crisis’ and ‘blogs’.David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-51919234304721429302009-11-11T18:51:00.000-08:002009-11-11T19:01:04.516-08:00IJ-6 THE SIXTH CONFERENCE ON INNOVATION JOURNALISM<a href="http://ij6.innovationjournalism.org">Innovation Journalism Vol.6 No.8 Nov 2009</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://wh-stream.stanford.edu/InJo/InJo2009.mov"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 190px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O6Yb3VfZP8E/SomjI0x7q5I/AAAAAAAADFg/3R_yKWsKOIk/s320/vintdougij6.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />IJ-6, the Sixth Conference on Innovation Journalism took place at Stanford University 18-20 May 2009.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms are changing professional journalism and related academic research dramatically. AI is penetrating journalism’s pillars: content (through automatic content analysis in all formats), and advertising (by scientific measurement of real consumer attention and targeting ads per user personality). Both content and advertising will change significantly.<br />
<br />
The interactive nature of the new media will permit, for the first time, accurate measurement of the real attention consumers of media give to journalistic content, employing scientific methods. Advertisers will demand full validation of consumer ratings. Existing measuring methods will vanish. Advertisers ROI (Return On Investment) will determine the fate of advertising funded journalism companies across all media formats.<br />
<br />
New ways to measure consumer attention and behavior, such as ‘engagement’ and ‘behavioral targeting,’ are becoming the new buzzwords describing deeper consumer involvement with content across multiple personal dimensions. New AI algorithms are being created that will allow automatically deciphering and tagging content to enable search engines to seek new, practical knowledge. Video, audio, images and texts are being converted to mathematical formulations that lend themselves to automatic ‘knowledge discovery analysis’ without human intervention.<br />
<br />
AI engines will be used by media companies to search customers for content interests, automatically. Dependence on gaining measurable consumer attention can be expected to induce journalists in all media platforms to adjust content to maximize consumer attention and advertising dollars. New business models will be needed to reduce the intrinsic risk to journalistic freedom that the new methods will induce.<br />
<br />
In this paper we shall describe the global efforts in devising universal standards for the management of digital identities and how artificial intelligence will be used to automatically annotate journalistic content. We shall describe the new concepts being used to increase consumer real attention to media content and describe the architecture of an AI engine that will target content according to consumer personalities. The consequences of these developments will be discussed.David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com61tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-51588520202083409122009-07-01T14:38:00.001-07:002012-04-07T16:09:41.459-07:00WEAK SIGNALS IN INNOVATION JOURNALISM – CASES GOOGLE, FACEBOOK AND TWITTERInnovation Journalism Vol.6 No.6 1 June 2009<br />

Virtual Environments (VEs) open new possibilities for journalism. The advanced technology, which still resides mostly in laboratories, only requires adaptation and the imagination that can enable journalists to think with technology. The literature of VE theory shows the possibility exists to create alternative worlds that invite the public to share knowledge necessary for rational policy decisions. Our research has looked at using head-mounted displays to tell news stories, and we have worked with a multi-user 360° panoramic display. A project is now under way to use immersive techniques to model port expansions in Southern California. We will also seek to find ways to distribute this visual information across individual, community and institutional audiences.David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-5570481679455392682009-06-01T12:48:00.001-07:002012-04-07T16:14:12.160-07:00PITFALLS OF ATTENTION WORK IN THE INNOVATION ECOSYSTEMInnovation Journalism Vol 6 No 4, 1 June 2009<br />

In this study we concentrated on the pitfalls of attention work in the innovation ecosystem of Silicon Valley by interviewing 20 journalists, analysts, entrepreneurs, investors and PR practitioners in the fall 2008. The major outcome of the research was that attention work has become harder for both professional groups of journalists and public relations practitioners in recent times. After observing the many difficulties in communicating the innovations and innovation ecosystems, what requires more extended examination here is the concrete advice of helping the flow of innovation information. This does not only mean new tools or new types of media, but new types of collaboration between the different attention workers.David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-39381070542387589592009-06-01T12:18:00.001-07:002012-04-07T16:16:12.035-07:00FOCUS ON GROWTH: INNOVATION, THE MEDIA AND PUBLIC INTERESTInnovation Journalism Vol.6 No.3, 1 June 2009.<br />

Innovation Journalism (InJo) has been promoted as a new type of media work that can be of value to stakeholders in the innovation eco-system, which means that it is mainly catering to particular interests. In some parts it resembles the “public sphere model” of Habermas. It is also presented as a business model in itself with strong links to the dominating “market model” of the media. This is limiting the scope of potential influence. Economic growth through innovations in social and physical technology is of interest to the society as a whole. This paper deals with the issue of how public interest in a larger perspective can be related to InJo. For this purpose possible stakeholders are mapped and discussed. The suggestion is that InJo can be framed as journalism dealing with long waves and the most important sources of economic growth and societal renewal.David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-45619813601619577272009-05-13T17:48:00.001-07:002012-04-07T16:18:32.122-07:00ATTENTION AND REPUTATION IN THE INNOVATION ECONOMYInnovation Journalism Vol. 6 No. 2 May 13, 2009<br />

The paper suggests that attention is a success component in today’s innovation economy, but that it must be connected to the formation of reputation to translate this success to the players in the ecosystem. The paper studies the roles of the different attention workers in creating reputation for innovations and inventions, and explains how attention and reputation contribute jointly to success. Attention and reputation are central topics related to innovation journalism, as well as innovation communication and public relations.David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-79373618989660817372009-05-01T17:21:00.001-07:002012-03-27T12:12:06.392-07:00INNOVATION JOURNALISM, ATTENTION WORK, AND THE INNOVATION ECONOMY.

The need for a new definition of ‘journalism’ is discussed, suggesting a definition based on the relation between journalism and its audience, rather than on its relation to the medium it uses for communicating with the audience. The role of journalism in the innovation economy is a novel academic research field. The rationale for this research is presented together with examples of plausible research topics. Innovation journalism initiatives are emerging in several places around the world. The seminal VINNOVA Stanford initiative at Stanford University is presented together with the national initiatives in Sweden, Finland, Slovenia, Pakistan, Mexico, and the EU.</div>David Nordforshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806293501450632730noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980838381289916801.post-32068427366199320312008-07-01T09:52:00.000-07:002009-11-11T18:58:20.515-08:00IJ-5 THE FIFTH CONFERENCE ON INNOVATION JOURNALISMInnovation Journalism Vol.5 No.1 July 1 2008<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.innovationjournalism.org/essays/uploaded_images/ij5-789567.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 227px;" src="http://www.innovationjournalism.org/essays/uploaded_images/ij5-789560.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>IJ-5, the Fifth Conference on Innovation Journalism took place at Stanford University 21-23 May 2008.
