Abstract
The article offers a new theoretical model that conceptualizes the “exotic” expertise of journalists and other knowledge-brokers who specialize in particular domains (e.g., teachers, librarians, analysts). The model adapts theories from sociology, pedagogy and philosophy and juxtaposes them against the insights of 14 editors-in-chief from leading Israeli media, in order to validate, refine and illustrate the theoretical generalizations. According to the suggested model, specialized knowledge brokers develop a unique type of expertise that can be modeled across four distinct dimensions: The manifestation of expertise (doing/talking), the mechanism of expertise (interplay between journalistic and domain knowledge), the socio-epistemic position (outsiders/insiders) and the density of expertise (homogenous versus heterogeneous knowledge). Understanding journalists’ expertise is crucial due to the overwhelming assault on experts in “post truth” societies; their role as mega brokers of expert knowledge from all disciplines (outside one’s own expertise) and the ongoing scholarly dispute on the nature of expertise.

记者到底知道些什么?知识经纪人专长的新模式

摘要
本文提供了一种新的理论模型,该模型将记者和其他专门研究特定领域的知识经纪人(例如,教师,图书馆员,分析师)的“异国”专业知识概念化。该模型采用了社会学,教育学和哲学的理论,并将它们与来自以色列主要媒体的14位主编的见解并列在一起,以验证,完善和说明理论上的概括。根据建议的模型,专业知识经纪人可以开发一种独特的专业知识类型,可以在四个不同的维度上进行建模:专业知识的表现(做/交谈),专业知识的机制(新闻和领域知识之间的相互作用),认知位置(局外人/内幕人)和专业知识的密度(同质知识与异质知识)。由于对“后真相”社会的专家们的大力抨击,了解记者的专业知识至关重要。他们是来自各个学科的专业知识的巨型经纪人(自己的专业知识除外),以及有关专业知识性质的学术争议。
