Meetings between frames: Negotiating worth between journalism and management

European Management Journal, 2017, vol. 35, issue 6, 737-744

Abstract: This paper explores meetings between different frames, thus producing different overflows in an organizational context. Relying on Boltanski and Thévenot's (2006) sociology of critique (also called the sociology of conventions) to analyze the relationship between different frames, this paper specifically investigates the encounter between journalism and management in practice in a digital news venture. It is based on an ethnographic study of Rue89, a French news organization, which was started in 2007 by former newspaper journalists and publishes an advertising-based generalist news website open for readers' participation in the production of news. The study shows how negotiations between different frames organizing work at Rue89 take place in different ways in different situations and lead to different results, in terms of what is worth doing and what is not, thus overflowing.
