Annotation

Using a single case study of a press conference of a Dutch government agency in the telecommunication domain hosted by the Dutch news agency ANP, this paper attempts to show how, at the meso level of newsworker routines, ict-technology use is meant to raise both journalistic and industry analyst access. This hybrid participation framework is found however to seriously impair the journalists’ interactional position.
