Utilizing interviews with 53 digital journalists, it identifies the actors playing a role in producing news through social media. It finds that journalists, opinion leaders, audience and extra-media organizations affect news production. It calls for a revisiting of the hierarchy of the influences model to understand on what levels of influence the audience affects news production
