The purpose of this study was to find out how much journalists receive and editors provide coaching and/or feedback and how. Empirical data were gathered by using a nonparticipant observation in a national daily newsroom and two participant observations in a national daily and in a local newspaper newsroom in Estonia – altogether 2 months and three days. The results showed that communication between experienced journalists and editors lacked constructive feedback and coaching. The editors tended to direct the work of a less experienced journalist; experienced journalists could work alone and decide independently how to solve situations within the news production process. All in all, not providing constructive feedback or coaching could have negative influences on journalists, especially when the working conditions are changing.

编辑和记者之间的交流：爱沙尼亚每日新闻编辑室的反馈和指导

这项研究的目的是找出有多少记者获得了采访，编辑为他们提供了指导和/或反馈，以及如何提供。通过在国家每日新闻编辑室中使用非参与者观察，在爱沙尼亚的国家每日新闻编辑器中和在当地报纸新闻编辑室中使用两个参与观察，收集了经验数据，共计2个月零3天。结果表明，经验丰富的新闻记者和编辑之间的沟通缺乏建设性的反馈和指导。编辑倾向于指导经验不足的新闻工作者的工作。经验丰富的记者可以独自工作，并独立决定如何解决新闻制作过程中的情况。总而言之，不提供建设性的反馈或指导可能会对记者产生负面影响，尤其是在工作条件发生变化时。
