Vad gör egentligen journalister när de utkräver ansvar av politiker?
I veckan fick Mats Ekström, Monika Djerf-Pierre, Nicklas Håkansson och undertecknad en ny artikel publicerad i Journalism Practice. I denna artikel studerar vi i detalj vad journalister egentligen gör när de utkräver ansvar. Genom detaljerade analyser av ministerintervjuer under Saabkrisen för några år sedan och 1970- och 1980-talet textil och varvskriser skiljer vi ut ett antal olika sätt som journalister använder den ansvarsutkrävande intervjun som resurs i nyhetsproduktionen.

Abstract
News
interviews are contexts in which political responsibilities are
articulated and negotiated. Although the accountability interview is
recognized as a commonsense practice in journalism, and the research on
political interviews is substantial, it partly remains to explore how
responsibilities are negotiated in different forms of questioning in
journalism. This study investigates three generic forms of questioning:
accountability questioning, the clarifying of promises, and the
principal assessments. Key features of the different forms are
specified. The empirical study investigates how the questionings are
performed in news on industrial crises in Sweden, in the different
political regimes in the 1970s and the 2000s. The data consist of 27
news interviews with the formally responsible Ministers. The method is
based on Conversation Analysis and includes detailed analyses of
questions and answers. The study shows (1) how the forms of questioning
differ when it comes to the action agenda and in how responsibilities
are invoked and negotiated; (2) how the questionings tend to reproduce
particular expectations of Governmental interventions; (3) how increased
assertiveness and adversarialness in interviewing coincide with reduced
expectations of political responsibilities.
