This study examines how newsroom work in the United States has changed in response to some of the latest developments in the news media environment. Using nationally representative survey data, we explore what professional routines American journalists have adopted to avoid spreading or being accused of publishing misinformation. Findings suggest that journalists have added new or intensified practices to increase accountability and transparency. In addition, role conceptions, perception of fake news, and responsibility for social media audiences impact the adoption of such practices. Journalists are more likely to embrace transparency than accountability, suggesting the emergence of new journalistic norms in today’s newsrooms.

这项研究考察了新闻编辑室在美国的工作方式，以响应新闻媒体环境中的一些最新发展而发生的变化。我们使用具有全国代表性的调查数据，探索美国记者采取哪些专业惯例来避免传播或被指控发布错误信息。调查结果表明，记者增加了新的或强化的做法，以增加问责制和透明度。此外，角色概念，对假新闻的感知以及对社交媒体受众的责任感也会影响这种做法的采用。记者比问责制更倾向于采用透明度，这表明当今新闻编辑室中出现了新的新闻准则。
