	abstract = {How does the journalistic community negotiate its identity, boundaries, and authority in relation to individuals and cultural forms that challenge the definitions of who is a journalist and what constitutes journalism? And how does it do so against the background of a growing academic validation of these alternative news venues? This study focuses on the figure of Jon Stewart, host of Comedy Central{\textquoteright}s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and on the stages and strategies by which Stewart was embedded into mainstream journalistic discourse, and in which journalists negotiated Stewart{\textquoteright}s definition, authority, and position vis-{\`a}-vis the U.S. journalistic community. By examining the journalistic discourse over a period of nine years and adopting a cultural, inter-textual, process-oriented approach, the paper seeks to go beyond the framework of {\textquotedblleft}paradigm repair,{\textquotedblright} attempting to account for journalism{\textquoteright}s changing identity and boundaries, while paying particular attention to the ways in which those boundaries are shaped by a complex interplay among different players within, on, and outside the margins of the journalistic community. The paper also suggests that Stewart{\textquoteright}s relatively successful co-optation was due to a fit between the normative and epistemological assumptions of three central players {\textemdash} the journalistic community, political communication scholars, and Stewart himself.},
