| Abstract | A conceptual and theoretical framework is needed for the literature on newswork and to do this the relationship between skill and control which has been raised as an issue in the Marxist theory of industrial organization needs to be examined. A theoretical reinterpretation might help to understand how the notion of skill on the individual, technical, and subjective levels is related to the broader issues, such as the control of the labor process and the reproduction of social relations. The labor process perspective provides a theoretical connection between the microscopic level of individual workers, such as subjectivity and skill, and the more macroscopic level of social relations. Using a synthesis of Harry Braverman's notion of the labor process and concept of skill and Michael Burowoy's notions of game and subjectivity is illuminating for several aspects of newswork, i.e.: (1) the social world which a newsworker encounters is not a transparently visible field of capital-labor antagonism, but an "imaginary" world where diverse ideological mechanisms, such as the ideology of "making out," or doing a "good job," matter; and (2) the labor process is reproduced through the operation of the job "skill." The philosophical and ethical debates concerning media practices can be informed by this conceptualization of newswork and how it is done. (Thirty-seven references are appended.) (MS) |
