What is First Imagined, Then Pursued about?

This chapter draws on Hearken’s efforts to challenge journalism’s audience perceptions—as well as the audience pursuits unfolding within City Bureau and the Chicago Tribune—to explore the connection between the way journalists imagine their audiences and the steps they take to reach them. This chapter also explores another dispute unfolding throughout the news industry: the lens through which journalists conceptualize their own expertise. Traditional journalists tend to take for granted the assumption that their professional training and skills make them significantly better equipped to report the news than the people they hope to reach. This is different from those advocating for more audience engagement, who see their audiences as being more valuable as news collaborators than they are typically given credit for and also view journalists themselves as being in need of exactly this sort of collaboration.
