The news and public information which citizens see and hear is no longer solely determined by journalists, but increasingly by algorithms. Van Dalen demonstrates the gatekeeping power of social media algorithms by showing how they affect exposure to diverse information and misinformation, and shape the behaviour of professional communicators. Trust and legitimacy are foregrounded as two crucial antecedents for the acceptance of this algorithmic power. This study reveals low trust among the general population in algorithms performing journalistic tasks and a perceived lack of legitimacy of algorithmic power among professional communicators. Drawing on case studies from YouTube and Instagram, this book challenges technological deterministic discourse around 'filter bubbles' and 'echo chambers' and shows how algorithmic power is situated in the interplay between platforms, audiences and professional communicators. Ultimately, trustworthy algorithms used by news organizations and social media platforms as well as algorithm literacy training are proposed as ways forward towards democratic algorithmic gatekeeping. Presenting a nuanced perspective which challenges the deep divide between techno-optimistic and techno-pessimistic discourse around algorithms, Algorithmic Gatekeeping is recommended reading for journalism and communication researchers in related fields"-- Provided by publisher.Disruptions SeriesAlgorithmic Gatekeeping for Professional Communicators AlgorithmsSocial media and journalismFilter bubbles (Information filtering)Algorithms.Social media and journalism.Filter bubbles (Information filtering)302.23/1LAN004000LAN008000bisacshvan Dalen Arjen1439490MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910725060103321Algorithmic Gatekeeping for Professional Communicators3601702UNINA
