Abstract:
This article examines how journalists in Turkey form their authority and strengthen control over their news craft in the digital age through processing (i?lemek) the news. Processing combines two crucial components: ethical engagement with news stories and a flexible time frame. Drawing on ethnographic and visual analysis of televisual, newspaper, and internet production at Turkey’s socialist Y?zy?l newspaper, I argue that journalists invest more heavily in non-digital mediums like television and print because they provide a more flexible temporality to process information through investigation and ethical deliberation.
