ABSTRACT
This chapter centres on freelance journalists living in Fibsted. It considers the distinguishing feature of telework to be the use of computer-network technology for work-related purposes in domestic contexts. The chapter concerns reflect on limitations to identifying change and attempts to point to shifts in the institutionalisation of their work related to usage of networked computers. Richard and Ann were the author's first informants in the area. They played an important role, especially in the early phase of the author's fieldwork and used the internet for a number of practical purposes beyond the narrow context of work. They were incredibly outgoing and helpful to the author in all sorts of practical ways. The chapter explains that telework and the practical guide to finding a partner via the internet are just two examples among many. It discusses the Wednesday lunches as a recurring social and cultural event that was only institutionalized in terms of work to a very limited degree.
