ABSTRACT
Prevailing research suggests that globalization is having a profound effect on gatekeeping routines (Shoemaker & Vos, 2009). Hallin and Mancini (2004) observed that media are becoming homogenized on a global scale, signaling the loss of routines that might be culturally unique. Reese (2008) sees globalization as ushering in an age of “deterritorialized journalism” that binds together journalists in a horizontal, global network of values and routines (p. 240). Castells (2011) describes resistance identities in which individual actors may align more with those in their communities of shared interests (e.g., fellow journalists) than they will with those within a state-defined boundary of community or nation.
