Abstract Journalism worldwide is in a process of becoming a different kind of profession. Once organized in formal institutions, where contracted labourers would produce content under informal yet highly structured working conditions, today the lived experience of professional journalists is much more precarious, fragmented and networked. At the heart of the project of understanding contemporary journalism as a profession and the way it functions in society must be a conceptualization of journalism beyond its formerly distinct and boundaried organization of newswork.
