Abstract
The rising prevalence of white nationalism necessitates an evaluation of the tactics of journalists employ to manage digital hostility. Through the lens of Bourdieu’s field theory, the present study reflects a two-step interview procedure with 31 North American journalists, followed by participant observation and long-form depth interviews with four North American audience editors. The study argues that managing hostility is rooted in the habitus of North American journalists, with audience editors in particular offering layered mitigation tactics that work like second nature. Yet this mitigation hardens field boundaries and discourages journalists from digital connection with audiences.
