ABSTRACT
Social media disruption of journalism includes not only the rise of alternative participatory journalistic forms, but also the emergence of network journalism and network newswork – a new journalistic norm in which user-driven social media is incorporated into long-established news routines. Scholarly efforts to understand and theorize the emergence and rise of network newswork requires analyses of the multiple milieus within which new news practices occur within different news spheres. Refinements to Stephen Reese’s hierarchy of influences model for examining the forces impacting upon the work of global journalists serves as a useful conceptual tool for theorizing network newswork in global, local, and glocal news spheres.
