Abstract

Digital transformation is a driver for increased media intra- and entrepreneurship in journalism, which in turn forces journalistic decision-makers to renegotiate professional roles and identities and to apply entrepreneurial thinking. Simultaneously, however, media entrepreneurship research indicates that journalistic entrepreneurs often only apply a normative creator perspective and founding teams are too homogeneous. This is problematic because the entrepreneur plays a decisive role for start-up performance, a concept coined as founder centricity. As this concept is often mentioned but rarely defined, this study elaborates on it by focusing on the founder as both a central personality (characteristics) and as a focal actor for decisions (areas of impact). Using an interdisciplinary scoping review (N = 44), this paper introduces a Founder Fit Framework and maps seven areas of impact of the founder, which are derived from the literature and discussed to be influenced by the founder fit. Based on these results, a roadmap for future research and practice of media entrepreneurship is developed.
