Abstract

Most people spend a large part of their lives working. It is, perhaps, inevitable that workplace environments help to shape people’s well-being and happiness. As we reflect on the past 20 years of Media & Jornalismo research we must also look forward to the future of journalism and consider how research can contribute to that future. We also should consider a possible paradigmatic shift in journalism studies and practice that de-focuses journalism and considers the humanity of journalism workers, seeing them less as commodities or commodifiable and more as complex individuals calling for and deserving of personal and professional well-being.
