Journalists as Alternative Interpretive Community: An Ethnographic Study of an Extra-organizational Journalist Space in China

Traditional journalism studies tend to take the approach of newsroom studies, while falling short of exploring the extra-organizational space. The focus of this study is the latter, asking how an interpretive community of journalists is formed in the outside-newsroom social space. Based on an ethnographic study of a journalist Bar in Guangzhou China, this study found that the space was tremendously attractive to the journalists who were faced by a highly suppressive newsroom culture in their daily work. In their day-in-and-day-out social interactions in the space, they constructed a set of discourses about journalism that is distinctively different from those promoted by the state and formal news organizations.
