Abstract
Despite the existential challenge posed by a notion of
professionalism within journalism both individually and
organisationally, for many practitioners, it has become
synonymous with good or even ‘ethical’ journalism practice.
This has led to the contention that ‘professionalism’
is now an inherent component of a broader understanding
of what constitutes ‘quality’ journalism. And although
a paradigm of professionalism such as that alluded to in
the Leveson Report might be effective within real world
journalism practice, a pilot study analysing the use of the
term ‘professionalism’ demonstrates that when it comes
to journalism teaching, identifying the contexts in which
such a notion is understood appears to be problematic.
