Defining the WJS3 Sample
The report to the WJS3 community responds to a methodological need, expressed at the WJS Global Convention held in Madrid on July 5 and 6, 2019, for clearer definitions of various key concepts, especially “Journalist” and “News outlet.” Following a literature review and theoretical discussion, we propose that sampling for WJS3 be founded upon a set of pragmatic, semantically rational, and longitudinally consistent definitions for the primary concepts involved and some secondary concepts.
