Abstract [en]

This chapter takes as its starting point an indicator for the diversity of news formats from the 2021 Media for Democracy Monitor (MDM) project as an important feature for plurality of information. A wide range of news formats through different types of newspapers, television, radio, and online media is seen as a positive characteristic of media systems, especially since ownership diversity does not automatically translate into news format diversity. We make a connection between diversity of news formats and innovation in journalism: As news media seek to develop new news formats and solutions, broadcasters and news editors are setting up “news labs” to meet the expectations of their audiences. New storytelling methods and algorithms are being experimented with. This chapter collects examples of good practices of innovation in journalism in the countries participating in the 2021 MDM, but it also offers the opportunity to look elsewhere. It becomes clear that output is changing and diversifying thanks to innovation, and that innovation shapes newsroom culture as well as the journalist profession.
