ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a literature review focusing on routines in news organizations, and considers two distinct contributions by discussing: the organizational context and routines for coordination in news organizations and routines in relation to the concrete situated practices forming epistemological news production processes. It provides specific attention to the epistemology of news production and the related issue of knowledge coordination. News production is closely associated with routinized patterns of news work, often seen as embedded in an organizational and ideological context and performed in concrete settings. News organizations applying duality management have functionally and symbolically separated journalism from business, but this has taken place at the expense of organizational workflow. News organizations depend on diverse technologies, and their technological resources should be assessed alongside human resources. Transformation of news on social media has changed the practices of verification and triggered new forms of fact-checking.
