Abstract
Against the background of rapid change in the journalistic environment, we are
interested in the potential to integrate journalists into organizational innovation processes. To this end, we are looking at journalistic role concepts, and especially the antecedents to these concepts that might or might not foster innovative contributions to the organization. Based on research with several news organizations, we propose the measures of role clarity, conflict and overload as antecedents to the propensity of journalists to act as agents of innovation within their organization.
