How journalists survive challenging reporting environments: The role of journalistic risk culture

Open lecture with Prof. Francis L. F. Lee, School of Journalism and Communication, Chinese University of Hong Kong
Many journalists around the world work in challenging and dangerous environments, and a bourgeoning body of research has focused on how journalists in these environments deal with various kinds of risks. This talk proposes that we can employ the notion of risk culture to conceptualize how journalists develop shared ideas regarding how to identify, assess, manage, and decide whether and when to take how much risks. It uses the case of liberal journalists in contemporary Hong Kong, a city undergoing a process of autocratization since 2020, to illustrate how journalistic risk cultures emerged. It shows how the notion of journalistic risk cultures offers a broader context for understanding more specific media phenomena (such as self-censorship) and helps explain journalistic resilience despite the proliferation of legal and political risks.
