About
Julius Reimer is a leading scholar in journalism studies, whose work centers on how the very language we use to describe journalism shapes its evolution and public understanding. His major contribution lies in introducing the concept of “X Journalism,” a powerful analytical framework that examines the proliferation of compound terms like “data journalism,” “solutions journalism,” and “citizen journalism.” In his highly cited 2020 article, Reimer argues that these names are not mere labels but active forces that define, constrain, and legitimize different journalistic practices. This work has become essential reading for researchers and students seeking to map the shifting boundaries of the field, earning over 50 citations and establishing a new vocabulary for analyzing journalistic change. By turning our attention to the power of naming, Reimer has provided a crucial tool for understanding how journalism continually reinvents itself, making his research indispensable for anyone studying the profession’s past, present, and future.
