xiii, 229 p. : ill. A print copy of this title is available from the UO Libraries, under the call number: KNIGHT PN4888.R33 S26 2008This study looks at the status of local radio news in the United States in light of changes in policy, economics, production and distribution technology and the dynamic media environment. It examines how differences in ownership relate to the amount of news programming offered on local stations, how those stations are staffed and the working conditions for today's radio journalists. Two areas of communication theory provide the basis for the study, Political Economy of Communication and Localism. Both offer excellent perspectives for studying the radio broadcasting industry and the people who work in it. Political economy allows the study to look closely at the impact of ownership in our capitalist society, how government regulates ownership and programming, how those factors affect the working conditions for journalists and how they ultimately impact the public interest. Political economy is a holistic approach that also calls upon us to consider a moral philosophy and make recommendations for the good of society. Localism is a long-held policy objective of the Federal Communications Commission that has been a part of the regulatory process relating to ownership and programming of news and public affairs throughout the existence of radio in the United States. Using a triangulation of both quantitative and qualitative methods, the study documents the news operations of four different types of ownership structures within a single radio market, Salt Lake City, Utah. The primary quantitative method used content analysis to examine a sample of 255 hours of radio programming across the ownership groups. Qualitative methods of in-depth interviews and observation were used to examine how the stations were staffed, the working conditions for local journalists and how the news programming is produced. The study found the overall amount of local radio news programming to be low, with locally owned stations generally producing more news then those with large, outside corporate ownership. It also found working conditions to vary greatly among ownership groups. Local owners tended to be much more supportive of local journalists and provide better conditions for the production and programming of local radio news.

Kim, Sa-Seong. "News organisational culture and crisis of journalism in the Internet environment : the development of newspaper specialism in Korean journalism." Thesis, University of Leicester, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/30561.
Full textAbstract:
This study intends to explore how news organisational culture in Korean journalism deals with new policies introduced in an effort to resolve current problems. It aims to identify how the established news organisational culture of Korean newspaper journalism relates to the specialist journalism that news organisations are introducing in order to deal with such problems as journalists' job prospects and Internet challenges.;This study posits three research questions: "Why do news organisations intend to introduce specialism?"; "What does specialism have to do with news organisational culture?" and "Is specialism effective in providing 'better journalism'?" This study conducts four pieces of field research: 26 in-depth interviews, two focus group discussions, a survey, and a brief content analysis. This study finds that specialism is a strategic choice which is arbitrarily adapted for problem-solving rather than an established culture. Secondly, specialism reveals some significant conflicts between specialists and generalist reporters regarding personnel management policies and the routines of news production. Accordingly, specialism is considerably restricted by the news organisational culture. Lastly, specialism does not necessarily provide better journalism, especially in terms of supplying mobilising information to guide audiences out of their grievances caused by government's mishandling of public policies.;The current news organisational routines of Korean newspapers is related more closely to resisting changes rather than bridging the individuals of news organisations with newly emerging environments, and these routines do not provide effective systems for the newsgathering activities of specialist reporters.

Li, Ke. "The canary in the coal mine: Beijing News and the crisis of Chinese journalism." HKBU Institutional Repository, 2014. https://repository.hkbu.edu.hk/etd_oa/57.
Full textAbstract:
Based on three-month ethnographic fieldwork among investigative journalists in Beijing News, this dissertation is about the transformation of printing journalism in a time of crisis. This study explores what specifically constitutes the crisis of Chinese printing journalism in general and investigative journalism in particular, and how they respond to the crisis. Existing western debate of newspaper crisis predominantly revolves around the rapid technological and economic change. Rooted in the ‘liberal-pluralist’ political economy of communication, however, my dissertation suggests that we also need to take the political factors into consideration when discussing the crisis of traditional media in China-an authoritarian country without media freedom. I argue that the crisis of Chinese printing journalism is not only the shrink in circulation and advertisement revenue and the technological impinging on traditional way of producing and distributing news, as their western counterparts; but also the increasingly narrowing space for critical coverage that Chinese political and investigative journalists appreciate and expect. The three facts-political control, economic recession, and technological innovation-are interwoven together and profoundly shape the Chinese printing journalism. Under such situation, Chinese newsroom is under transformation. Taking an approach of sociology of news, my paper also examines how Beijing News and its investigative reporting team reshuffle the organizational structure to overcome the crisis. On the one hand, the reorganization is aimed at adapting to and adopting new technologies to gain a toehold in the new editorial and business model; on the other hand, it is a rearrangement of its strategy in overcoming the political constraints and carrying out critical reporting. Different from the opinion from Tech-Utopian or Tech-Determinism who suggests that technology will completely reshape the structure of newsroom and journalistic practice, I argue that organizational tradition and culture make the complete redefinition impossible. Based on the reform strategy what I called a combination of ‘convergence’ and ‘de-convergence’, I suggest that Beijing News successfully keeps a balance between ‘embracing the online world’ and ‘keeping its tradition of pursing for original and investigative journalism’. The well-established organizational routine should not be deemphasized in discussing the reconstruction of traditional newsroom at least for two reasons. Firstly, the professional routine overcomes the potential negative impact of new technology on quality journalism. Secondly, what strategies are adopted in the newspaper transformation is closely relevant to its structural and cultural feature. As a canary in the coal mine, Beijing News sets an example for many other printing newspaper around the country with difficulty in addressing the crisis, coming from whatever political, economic or technological aspects.

Full textAbstract:
Between approximately September 1, 2012 and February 1, 2014, the popular Canadian fashion retailer Lululemon Athletica Inc. faced an organizational crisis due to quality management problems. Beginning with manufacturing complications, the quality issues expressed themselves through various crisis symptoms (e.g., financial issues, legal issues, and senior leadership turmoil). The organization enacted crisis communication strategies to mitigate reputational risk and to inform the public and its stakeholders about the crisis. The news media also reported on the crisis extensively, which contributed to the public and stakeholders’ perceptions of the company and crisis. This dissertation draws on theories of narrative, translation, communication and media, and crisis communication to develop a theoretical foundation to guide the goals of this study. It is based on theories that conceptualize textual journalism as a process of both intralingual and interdiscursive translation that results in new narratives for the purpose of news media content creation. A qualitative content analysis informed by principles of critical discourse analysis is conducted to examine the narration of the crisis as depicted in the company’s textual communication about the crisis (e.g., press releases, annual reports), and the depiction of the crisis as narrated in textual media reports about the organization’s crisis. The two information streams are first analyzed individually to extract the main themes and sub-themes presented. Based on these analyses, a comparison of the two different information streams and their respective crisis narratives is conducted. The project investigates the ways in which the media translated information about the crisis to create their own narratives of the crisis. The findings of this dissertation show the process through which translation occurs, namely the linguistic and discursive variance between these two information streams. An analysis of the patterns in the linguistic and discursive variance between these two information streams indicates how the different social contexts in which each information stream is embedded may have impacted how the translation/journalism process occurs.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines a mediated crisis and how The Straits Times and The Australian
approach the reporting of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). It looks at how
this mediated crisis exemplifies the culture of the national newspaper and in turn how the
national newspaper has an historical influence on the national psyche. A total of 649
reports and headlines and 141 letters about SARS in The Straits Times (including The
Straits Time Interactive) were examined from April 2003 to November 2003 as were 125
headlines from The Australian.
The early sections of the thesis discuss how a crisis makes news; examine how the media
report a crisis and what emphasis is given to aspects such as: actors, primary definers,
vocabulary, lexical choices, subjects, themes, issues and value dimension or stance. The
first chapter defines crisis, journalism and crisis journalism and discusses where the latter
sits within the continuing expansion and development of major theoretical frameworks,
including living in a risk society. The implication here is that crisis and risk have a
symbiotic relationship.
Historical perspectives of news are discussed in Chapter 2, and the newspaper is placed
within the context of contemporary media. The chapter discusses how newspapers are
aligned with the concept of the national mind and demonstrates the roles and formations
of the two newspapers in relation to the SARS crisis.
Chapter 3 codes the headlines, article titles and subtitles of The Straits Times and The
Australian and using content analysis of the headlines, analyses the reporting of a serious
health crisis SARS that lasted from March to November, 2003. The quantification within
content analysis enables a researcher to read and interpret questions that relate to the
intensity of meaning in texts, their social impact, the relationships between media texts
and the realities and representations they reflect (Hansen et al, 1998). The theory and
method of content analysis is used in this chapter to consider differences between The
Straits Times and The Australian and to exemplify the medias representation of the
narratives of SARS as it happened in the countries of Singapore and Australia.
Aspects of crisis and risk, the newspaper and the national mind, narratives, presentations,
and post SARS events are discussed in the last chapter. It is concluded from these
discussions there is a world narrative that tells the story of how the human condition likes
to live and rely on a safe social environment always being available. The relationship
between a mediated crisis and risk are also discussed. In addition, it is maintained that
reporting in 2003 was not just about SARS but a way of reporting that allowed one to
view journalism as an aid to good governance, particularly with regard to living in a risk
and crisis-ridden society.

Full textAbstract:
Detta är en jämförande studie om medierepresentationen av oljekrisen i Stavanger i Norge och Aberdeen i Skottland. I uppsatsens första del undersöker och jämför vi tre nyhetsartiklar från norska lokala tidningar i Stavanger med tre skotska lokala tidningar i Aberdeen genom en kvalitativ textanalys. I uppsatsens andra del lägger vi tyngd på journalisternas uppfattning om krissituationen och använder oss av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med norska och skotska journalister jämför vi hur de resonerar kring val av vinklar, nyheter, källor och hur de upplever sitt yrke och sin arbetsroll i relation till rapporteringen av oljekrisen. I arbetet lyfter vi fram skillnader i framställningen av situationen i Stavanger respektive Aberdeen. Vi använder oss av en etnografisk intervju i vårt tillvägagångssätt när vi träffar journalisterna, för att kunna använda detta som en ingång till historisk bakgrund för effekterna av oljekrisen och påverkan på städerna. En utgångspunkt för uppsatsen är att undvika att bedöma huruvida det rör sig om en kris eller inte och istället fokusera på gestaltningen i de valda medierna och journalisternas upplevelser av sitt arbete. Resultatet av vår studie visar att det finns nationella samband med hur journalisterna uppfattar oljekrisen. De norska journalisterna mörkar i högre utsträckning att det pågått en omfattande oljekris i Stavanger, medan de skotska journalisterna talar mer öppet om en kris. Vi kan genom denna studie konstatera att det återfinns skillnader i hur den lokala rapporteringen för oljekris sker, samt hur gestaltningen av oljekrisens konsekvenser ser ut i artiklarna som vi har valt att analysera.

Selvarajah, Senthan. "Practice of human rights journalism in the humanitarian crisis of Sri Lanka and constructing options for R2P intervention." Thesis, Northumbria University, 2016. http://nrl.northumbria.ac.uk/36237/.
Full textAbstract:
Despite the research interests generated among the concept of Responsibility to Protect (R2P) by many, my study has uniquely taken the role of the media to facilitate the implementation of R2P. This was done by examining the nature and gravity of practice of Human Rights Journalism (HRJ) in the international press during the humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka amidst the overrunning of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) by government forces in May 2009. This study inter-disciplinarily explored the fields of media, human rights and conflict transformation to understand the nexus between R2P and HRJ. Based on the findings on quantitative and qualitative reporting analysis, it was revealed that the international press failed to play its watchdog role to expose the human rights violations and mass atrocity crimes during the humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka. Besides it also found how the international press failed to draw the international community to consider R2P options on the distant suffering. In Spite of the threats, intimidation and difficulties (whether it was expressed or not) they faced while reporting, majority of the Indian Journalists openly acknowledged the parallel policy with regard to the final war between the governments of India and Sri Lanka. It was that the terrorist label on the LTTE influenced their reporting given their own conceptions and relied on the elite sources for information. While Shaw proposed HRJ as a solution to report physical, structural and cultural violence within the context of humanitarian intervention, from the analysis of the articles on the newspapers and the interviews it was very much evident that the international press did not let the journalists practice HRJ to a satisfactory level and establish a prima facie case to construct the reality of the humanitarian crisis. As supported and corroborated by the two independent yet mutually supportive methodologies, the analysis of this study found that the framing of the news stories is either decided by the editorial policy in accordance with internal guidelines, or by the news sources. Thereby the variety of ideological, political, geographical and cultural contexts of framing establishes a discourse which leaves us with a controlling media power. On the whole this study contributes uniquely towards the development of an epistemological grounding for the practice and research of HRJ within the just-peace framework and development of Frame Analysis Matrix, and Multimodal Discourse Analysis Matrix. In addition, also proves the fact that failing to contribute to the moral responsibility in a truthful and justifiable manner of the victim, rather than via influence will not contribute towards the real human rights practice.

Full textAbstract:
Health officials estimate that the 2014 Ebola crisis disproportionately victimized women, who made up 75% of the disease's victims. This interdisciplinary study has two main goals. The first is to evaluate the news media's performance in relation to their representation of women caught up in the Ebola crisis because the media play an important role in influencing public responses to health. This study sought to understand the information behavior patterns of journalists who covered the Ebola crisis by analyzing how job tasks influence a journalist's information behavior. This study employed qualitative methods to study the perceptions of journalists who covered the 2014 Ebola outbreak. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with Liberian and American journalists who covered the outbreak to understand the choices that guided their reporting of the Ebola crisis. A content analysis of The New York Times, The Times, and The Inquirer was also conducted to examine the new media's representation of women in an outbreak which mostly victimized women. The findings suggest that covering a dangerous assignment like Ebola affected the information behavior patterns of journalists. Audience needs, the timing of coverage, fear, and the accessibility of sources, were some of the factors that influenced the news gathering decisions taken by the reporters. The findings also suggest that women were mostly underrepresented by the media as sources, experts and subjects.

Full textAbstract:
The 2014 Ebola Outbreak which is still ongoing in Sierra Leone and Guinea, in West Africa, have caught the attention of media globally. By exploring the coverage of the outbreak within the concept of global crisis reporting and global journalism as news style, this study compares two newspapers, one based in South Africa (The Mail & Guardian) and the other one from the United Kingdom (The Guardian). How we define ’global crisis’ from different media systems that cut cross, these two media motivate the study to dig in to explore similarities and differences in the Ebola news coverage from Cottle’s and Berglez’s point of views. A content analysis was used to analyze news story articles (text) published in both newspapers. A census selection of 72 articles from both “Mail & Guardian” and “the Guardian” digital newspapers was applied. The selection of articles was based on the news stories article published within the two months (July and August 2014). The time frame used was a critical moment for the outbreak since it had started expanding to other countries. Through the analysis, both notions of global crisis and global journalism as news style has been identified in the 2014 Ebola coverage.

It questions how a newspaper's particular bias affects the way it discusses a topic, disseminates news, and relates with its audience. It examines the influence a newspaper has on shaping public opinion concerning friendly and enemy nations in the lead up to a war. At the same time this paper also examines how a newspaper's class and political background determines the level of support the paper demonstrates for war or for pacifism.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Electrical energy has become an indispensable part of the modern world, supporting industries and economic systems. Any disruption of supply is felt immediately in all spheres of life. The operation of a power system is a complex process involving rotating machines that may fail from time even though they are maintained regularly. The overhead transmission system is likewise prone to faults caused by environmental factors such as pollution and lightning. Power authorities therefore operate their systems in such a way that they have sufficient reserve capacity available to allow for contingencies. In the last decade of the previous century a condition developed, for various reasons, that the reserve margin was too small in the South African electricity supply system. At the end of 2005, a spate of failures occurred at Koeberg power station and later in 2007 serious coal supply problems developed at the large power stations in Mpumalanga, aggravating the situation. This research project focuses on the complexity of the task of the reporter when reporting on occurrences such as these. It is required to convey the factual situation to the readers, avoiding alarmism and sensationalism. At the same time the reporter also has a role to play in educating the readers. It was a difficult task, seeing that the reporters were not necessary versed in the technical field. They therefore had to rely on Eskom’s spokespersons. In this project newspaper clippings of various Western Cape newspapers containing the word Eskom were analysed. The method of analysis was content analysis. Firstly the quantitative content analysis was used to obtain distribution of articles over the period and among newspapers. Thereafter the topics covered and the types of article were obtained for the various newspapers and years. Next articles for 2006 and 2008 were investigated using qualitative content analysis. Certain attributes in the articles were detected manually and a profile was obtained for each newspaper for each year period. Questionnaires were sent to reporters responsible for some of the articles and to a technical expert who was consulted regularly by the news reporters. It was found that the number of articles and style of presentation vary among the newspapers. There is evidence of framing of Eskom as incompetent.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Elektriese energie het ¢n onontbeerlike deel van die moderne wêreld geword wat nywerhede en ekonomiese stelsels ondersteun. Enige onderbreking van toevoer word onmiddellik in alle lewensfere gevoel. Die werking van kragstelsel is komplekse proses met roterende masjiene en ander toerusting wat onderworpe aan faling is, selfs al word dit in stand gehou. Die oorhoofse transmissiestelsel is ook onderworpe aan foute wat deur omgewingsfaktore soos besoedeling en weerlig veroorsaak word. Kragvoorsieners bedryf daarom hul stelsels so dat hulle voldoende reserwekapasiteit het om toe te laat vir gebeurlikhede. In die laaste dekade van die vorige eeu het die toestand, om verskeie redes, ontwikkel dat die reserwemarge in die Suid-Afrikaanse stelsel te klein geword het. Teen die einde van 2005 het reeks falings by Koeberg kragstasie plaasgevind en later in 2007 het ernstige steenkoolvoorsieningsprobleme by die groot kragstasies in Mpumalanga ontstaan en dus die situasie vererger. Hierdie navorsingsprojek fokus op die kompleksiteit van die taak van die verslaggewer as oor sulke gebeure verslag gedoen word. Dit word vereis om die feitelike situasie oor te dra sonder alarmisme en sensasie. Terselfdertyd moet die verslaggewer ook rol speel om die lesers op te voed. Dit is moeilike taak daar die verslaggewers nie noodwendig belese in die tegniese vakgebied is nie. Hulle moes dus staatmaak op Eskom se spreekbuise. In hierdie projek is koerantuitknipsels van verskeie Wes-Kaapse koerante wat die woord Eskom bevat, ontleed. Die metode wat gebruik is, is inhoudsanalise. Eerstens is kwantitatiewe inhoudsanalise gebruik om die verspreiding van artikels oor die tydperk en tussen die koerante te verkry. Daarna is die onderwerpe wat gedek is verkry vir die onderskeie koerante en jare. Vervolgens is artikels van 2006 en 2008 ondersoek deur kwalitatiewe inhoudsanalise te doen. Sekere kenmerke is in die artikels opgespoor en profiel is verkry vir elke koerant en elke jaarperiode. Vraelyste is aan verslaggewers wat sommige artikels geskryf het en ook aan tegniese deskundige wat gereeld deur verslaggewers genader is, gestuur. Dit is bevind dat die getal artikels en die styl van aanbieding wissel tussen die koerante Daar is ook tekens van raming van Eskom as onbekwaam.

Full textAbstract:
Within the last two decades, social media has grown to becoming an integrated part of everyday life and along with it profound changes to how audiences can interact with news. Prior to web 2.0, audiences had limited selections when consuming news through their medium of choice and little possibility to interact with news organisations directly. With the advent of social media, audience are now able to personally curate their media consumption and fully interact with news organisations and the articles they post online. Because of this increased influence, audiences can now impose their agency on published new stories by liking, retweet, and discuss current new stories. This paper offers an in-depth study of how audiences can exert their agency over news publishing during September 2017. Utilizing the spread of the Rohingya Crisis of 2017 as a case study, this paper analyses in what ways audience agency influenced the new cycle during September 2017. This said, research conducted will utilise a two-step process for analysing the causes and effects of this phenomenon; a content analysis and an audience analysis; thus, a focus will be placed on understanding shifts in newspaper publishing in relation to audience engagement.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of 'independence' of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has emerged as a key issue in post-apartheid South African public discourse. While the importance of 'independence' has rarely been questioned, the term's meaning has been subject to fragmented understandings and vague interpretations. This thesis explores the origins of divergent conceptions of 'independence', examining how these conceptions are constructed by staff within the SABC. The central task of this thesis is to critically examine the contested concept of 'independence' a task it accomplishes by engaging with issues of power, knowledge and identity. To this end, the thesis reveals that the neo-liberal policies imposed by the Washington Consensus play a significant role in shaping conceptions of 'independence' through their power to dictate policy in countries in the Global South, including South Africa. This power, exercised through dominant Washington Consensus institutions, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), inform knowledge and identities at a local level through the adoption of neo-liberal macro-economic strategies, such as Growth Employment and Redistribution (GEAR). As a result, there is no local without the global. The engagement with issues of power, identity and knowledge and their relationships to how 'independence' is understood ensures that meanings of 'independence' are contested and that 'independence' is not an immovable edifice. 'Independence' is only a product of an evolving matrix, in which the staff of the SABC, who are divided into four different tiers, construct their own interpretations of 'independence', shaped by their understandings of both organisational and external factors, such as politics and advertisers, in relation to their work. Using data from interview respondents and an analysis of key public policy documents, this thesis presents two key processes that influence understandings of 'independence' and, therefore, link the SABC to the larger external socio-political environment. These two key factors, the commercialisation of the SABC and the African National Congress (ANC) power struggles have helped to shape the four conceptions of 'independence' advanced in this thesis: namely, the legalistic, anti-establishment, political and professional conceptions of 'independence'. At the core of this thesis are two questions: How do staff within the SABC construct and understand the meaning of 'independence' of the SABC, and what has influenced these conceptions in post-apartheid South Africa? Consistent with these research questions, the thesis is located within the interpretive tradition, since it seeks to understand the world of the SABC through the lens of its staff. To complement the interpretivist approach, the thesis situates the SABC and its understandings of 'independence' within the wider South African context, in which the meaning of 'independence' should also be understood as being inextricably intertwined with and a product of the shifting developmental state of the macro-economic environment. The critical political economy of the media is, therefore, used as an explanatory framework for understanding how the macro-worlds of politics and economic strategies intersect within the micro-world of the SABC to shape conceptions of 'independence'. The thesis concludes by arguing that it is not a strong and domineering state that seeks to control public service broadcasting; instead, it is a weak state that does so because of a need to curtail public discourse, which might present a threat to its own existence if left uncontrolled. As a result, it is difficult to separate the SABC from the state and, for that reason, the role of the public service broadcaster (PSB) is tied to the national narrative which itself is tied to the larger global matrices of power.

This thesis examines the ways in which Reddit, a social news aggregator, functions as a tool that allows users to give and receive support and information during times of crisis. By exploring how Reddit was used in the aftermath of the Aurora shootings of July 2012 and the Boston bombings of April 2013, this thesis argues that Reddit has the potential to be a powerful and useful tool in times of crisis.

Full textAbstract:
Comment ont réagi les journalistes à l’élection de Salvador Allende ? Comment le projet de société communément synthétisé dans la « voie chilienne vers le socialisme » a-t-il influé sur le travail journalistique ? Voilà d’où part cette thèse. Elle a finalement interrogé ce qu’a pu signifier « être journaliste » durant ces trois années d’une crise sociale et politique trop souvent réifiée.Autrement dit, de quoi le journalisme est-il le nom au Chili entre 1970 et 1973 ? En cessant de lire l’Unité populaire depuis son résultat traumatique, le coup d’Etat du 11 septembre 1973, et une grille de lecture exclusivement idéologique, apparaissent alors des lignes de continuité (des normalités) et des lignes de fuite (des singularités) dans la pratique du journalisme entre 1970 et 1973, tout comme se dégage la perception normalisée qu’en ont les journalistes dans la spécificité de ce moment historique. L’idée défendue est alors la suivante : lejournalisme est un discours en institutionnalisation permanente qui légitime ses pratiques et ses identités dans son rapport historique au temps de l’actualité. Pour ce faire, le propos articule un travail sur archives de presse croisé à une enquête par entretien non-directifs, le tout enrichi de nombreux documents de l’époque (archives juridiques, revues universitaires, archives des écoles de journalisme, archives des organismes corporatistes, discours politiques, films, disques musicaux) comme de sources de seconde main (études historiques, films, documentaires, témoignages écrits, etc.)How did journalists respond to Salvador Allende’s election? How did the project known as the “Chilean path to socialism” impact on journalists’ work and professional practices? These questions are the background of my PhD dissertation. The dissertation deals with what it meant to be a journalist during this often overly simplified period of three years. What does journalism stand for in Chile between 1970 and 1973? This dissertation departs from standard analyses of the Popular Unity that either centre on its final outcome, the coup on 11 September 1973; or mainly focus on ideology. On the contrary, this dissertation’s analysis highlights both continuity and change in journalists’ professional practices between 1970 and 1973. The dissertation also investigates the norms that underlie these practices in this specific moment of Chilean history. The main argument is thereby the following: journalism is characterized by an ongoing institutionalization which legitimizes professional practices and identities. The dissertation relies on press archives, non-structured interviews and a variety of other data (such as legal archives, academic journals, archives of journalism schools, archives of journalists unions, political speeches, films, music). In addition, the dissertation also uses secondary data, like documentary films and written testimonies
¿Cómo reaccionaron los periodistas a la elección de Salvador Allende? ¿Cómo el proyecto de sociedad comúnmente sintetizado en la “vía chilena hacia el socialismo” influyó en el trabajo periodístico? De ahí parte esa tesis de doctorado. Finalmente, nos interrogamos sobre lo que significó « ser periodista » durante los tres años de una crisis social y política tantas veces cosificada. Dicho de otro modo, ¿de qué periodismo era el nombre en Chile entre 1970 y 1973?Dejando de leer la Unidad Popular desde su resultado traumático, el golpe de Estado del 11 de septiembre de 1973, y desde un enfoque exclusivamente ideológico, aparecen líneas de continuidad (normalidades) y líneas de perspectivas (singularidades) en la práctica del periodismo entre 1970 y 1973, así como se desprende la percepción normalizada que tienen los periodistas de la especificidad del momento histórico. La idea defendida es entonces la siguiente: el periodismoes un discurso que se institucionaliza permanentemente, que legitima sus prácticas y sus identidades en su propia relación histórica al tiempo de la actualidad. Para hacerlo, el propósito articula un trabajo sobre archivos de prensa confrontado a entrevistas no-estructuradas, enriquecido de numerosos documentos de la época (archivos jurídicos, revistas universitarias, archivos de las escuelas de periodismo, archivos del gremio periodístico, discursospolíticos, películas, discos de música) y fuentes de segunda mano (estudios históricos, películas, documentales, testimonios escritos, etc.)

Full textAbstract:
While the media are known as information and entertainment source, some scholars (e.g. Galtung, 2002; Lynch, 2014) have also proposed peace advocacy as one of the concerns of journalism. This study provides an insightful account of a complex conflict- the Boko Haram conflict, in northern Nigeria. Boko Haram is an Islamic fundamentalist group that operates out of north-eastern Nigeria. With the Boko Haram conflict as the focus of analysis, this study examines conflict reporting strategies against the backdrop of the peace and war journalism model proposed by a Norwegian scholar, Johan Galtung. Galtung looked at the dichotomy in conflict coverage and views war and peace journalism as two varying frames in the coverage of conflicts. The study also examines national versus international media practices in the coverage of an intra-national conflict. Through content analysis this study concentrates on the coverage of the Boko Haram crisis in Nigeria over a 16- month period by two Nigerian national dailies, Vanguard and Punch, and two United States’ dailies, New York Times and Washington Post, from February 1st 2014 to May 29th 2015. It considers the extent to which the newspapers covered the crisis based on war and peace frames as well as the dynamic nature of the coverage. Furthermore, this study also investigates whether the newspapers showed exclusivity in coverage towards war journalism or towards peace journalism or a combination of both. Within the period considered for this study, Boko Haram kidnapped about 300 girls from the Chibok High School, of whose fate uncertainty still prevailed as at the time of writing this dissertation. The study found that the Boko Haram crisis was represented in the newspapers examined as a thematic issue. However, the newspapers did not provide sufficient contextual and background information about the crisis. The media did not play active roles towards conflict management, as advocated by Galtung, and were involved in partisan reporting of incidents in the crisis. This study therefore makes a significant contribution to the debate about objectivity in news reporting and the role of the media for societal good.

Este trabalho investiga as transformações conceituais e editoriais ocorridas no jornalismo cultural impresso em São Paulo nas duas últimas décadas do século XX. Como método de observação, visando detectar alterações na incidência de serviço informativo nas páginas dos cadernos culturais dos jornais Folha de S.Paulo e O Estado de S.Paulo, foi desenvolvido um modelo teórico de classificação que sistematizou a produção jornalística. O modelo numérico foi aplicado no recorte de quase cinco dezenas de edições dos cadernos Ilustrada, Letras, Mais!, TV Folha, Caderno 2, Cultura e Telejornal, publicados nos anos 1990 e 2000. Por outro lado, para a formalização do campo foram documentadas e analisadas dezenas de fontes, veiculadas nos próprios jornais, na literatura acadêmica e na área profissional, em registros impressos, digitais e orais. Tal material registra em parte o intenso debate contemporâneo sobre a crise da crítica, tema amplo que abrange a destruição referencial do cânone e a sujeição inerente do jornalismo ao mercado. Os resultados claramente evidenciam que há uma demanda por novos modelos de apreciação jornalística na esfera artístico-cultural, ainda que não comprovem em definitivo o surgimento na área de novos formatos jornalísticos, conceitualmente destituídos de opinião e análise.This work investigates conceptual and editorial transformations that have been occurring in the area of cultural journalism during the past two decades. It will focus on newspapers in Sao Paulo. As an observation method aiming to detect alterations on the incidence of informative services on the pages of the cultural sections of two newspapers, Folha de S.Paulo and O Estado de S.Paulo, a theoretical model has been developed to classify journalistic production. This numerical model has been applied to almost five-dozen editions of the following sections of the newspapers studied: Ilustrada, Letras, Mais!, TV Folha, Caderno 2, Cultura and Telejornal. They were published between 1990 and 2000. In addition to that, tens of sources have been analyzed in order to formalize the field. Those were referred by the newspapers themselves, by the academic and professional literature and by other written, oral and digital records. Such material reflects partially the intense contemporary debate on the crisis of criticism, which is a wide issue that includes the referential destruction of the canon and the undermining effect of market pressures on journalism. The results clearly show that there is a demand for new models of journalistic appreciation on the artistic-cultural sphere, although they are not definite evidence of the appearance of new journalistic formats, which are conceptually deprived of opinion and analysis.

Full textAbstract:
This study sets out to investigate democratic participation in South Africa and the role that media play and can potentially play within this context. It considers a social movement, as one way in which citizens can organise themselves and make their voices heard to improve their chances of making a meaningful contribution to democracy. It employs Susan Bickford's theory of 'political listening', which offers a potential solution to the lack of political representativeness and inclusiveness, by focusing on the way citizens relate to each other through speaking, listening and dialogue. This study examines whether the interaction between learners and the social movement Equal Education could be considered 'political listening', and the current and possible role of the media within this context of participation. The study also attempts to develop and make a contribution to the language of description for the theory of political listening in order to map it onto the data. Using evidence or data gathered through observation of Equal Education's youth group meetings with learners and in-depth interviews with learners, youth group facilitators, Equal Education staff members and journalists, this study shows how the interaction amongst learners and between Equal Education and learners could be considered political listening and how the social movement works as a democratic project which offers learners an opportunity to exercise their citizenship. Furthermore, it also details the current role of the media and possible role of the media as perceived by Equal Education, learners and by journalists who report on Equal Education's activities. The study does not make conclusive claims about whether 'political listening' occurs between Equal Education and learners and the media because the study is exploratory in nature and involves a lot of trial and error when it comes to applying the theory of political listening to interview and textual data, which is a communication context that the theory is only beginning to chart.

Full textAbstract:
In the past three decades, the Chinese news media has experienced great leaps from a propaganda machine to market-oriented industry. Although the state has managed to strengthen the information control, heterogeneity in journalistic value orientations has constructed different media discourses. This thesis discusses the diversity within different news organizations in China, and the influence of state-media dynamics on the quality and role of journalism. Previous literature in the area of media-power relations fQ us on the general landscape of Chinese media shaped by the three forces: the state, the market and the professionalism while neglecting individual cases which contribute for the complexity of the intertwined mechanisms. Supported by the sociological theory of news production and concepts from international relations, this study uses a micro approach to examine the process of international news making in two newspapers. The arguments in this study are based on in-depth interviews with 25 journalists, participant observation, and textual analyses of news reports on Libya Crisis. This study has three major findings. Firstly, the intricate power relations of social forces within China's social context produces much space, as well as obstacles, for the professional practice of journalism. The liberal newspapers keep challenging the state and pushing the boundary of media autonomy while the party organs still serve for maintaining CCP's legitimacy but package the "old wine" in a new way. Secondly, the old Chinese ideology dominated by official communism has been broken up by the emergence of neo-conservatism, old and new-leftism, liberalism and other intellectual discourses which influence the government's decision-making on domestic and international issues. Accordingly, international news reports in newspapers with various interests are manifestations of the divides. Thirdly, the different value preference of newspapers decides the media behaviors. Some choose to speak for the party and help maintain existing social order, while some others serve for public interests. Although both of them practice self-censorship, the former enjoy commercial benefits from seeking refuge from the authority and the latter promote social development by using tactics in news reports. The discrepancy creates space for diversified discourses that added to the complexity of power structures in Chinese media.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: After a decade long multi-faceted political crisis, political parties in Zimbabwe signed the Global Political Agreement (GPA) of 2008 following the Southern African Development Community’s (SADC) mediated talks culminating in the formation of an inclusive government. This study sought to investigate the political role, if any, played by the diasporic media in mediating the Zimbabwean crisis. This research focused on diasporic media using as a case study The Zimbabwean newspaper considering that during the research period it was circulating both in the country and diaspora communities in Western Europe, the USA and SADC countries. Diasporic media in Zimbabwe is a phenomenon associated with the rise of robust political opposition to the former ruling ZANU PF regime. Accordingly, such media operated outside the purview of the contemporary legislative and legal regime although the newspaper circulated in Zimbabwe. A number of anti establishment news media sprouted to challenge and offer resistance in the cyberspace and on shortwave and in print media. The Social Responsibility Theory was employed with the aim of establishing whether or not The Zimbabwean observed the journalistic ethics of reporting with truthfulness, accuracy, balance and objectivity. The Social Responsibility Theory’s thrust is on de-sensationalising reportage, promotion of media ethics and self regulation. This study employed both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The research established that The Zimbabwean newspaper played, to a larger extent, an active role in challenging the ZANU PF-led government and gave a platform to the oppositional Movement for Democratic Change. The conclusion arrived at in this study was that just like the state media, which promoted the government’s propaganda, The Zimbabwean did the same for the opposition parties in Zimbabwe.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Politieke partye in Zimbabwe het ná ’n lang politieke krisis met vele fasette die Global Political Agreement (GPA) van 2008 geteken. Dit het gevolg op die Suid-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap (SAOG) se mediëring wat gelei het tot die vorm van ’n inklusiewe regering. Hierdie studie het probeer om die politieke rol, indien enigsins, van die diaspora-media in die mediëring van die Zimbabwiese krisis te ondersoek. Die navorsing het op diaspora-media gefokus deur ’n gevallestudie van die koerant The Zimbabwean te doen. Dié blad is gedurende die navorsingstyd in die land sowel as onder die Zimbabwiese diaspora in Europa, die VSA en SAOG-lande versprei. Diaspora-media in Zimbabwe is ’n fenomeen wat geassosieer word met die opkoms van ’n robuuste politieke opposisie teen die ZANU (PF)-regime. Dié media opereer dus buite die grense van die juridiese en wetgewende gesag van die land. ’n Verskeidenheid antiestablishment media het in die kuberruim, kortgolfradio en drukmedia ontwikkel wat beide uitgedaag en weerstand gebied het. Die Sosiale Verantwoordelikheidsteorie is gebruik om vas te stel of The Zimbabwean joernalistieke etiek nagekom het deur waarheidsgetrou en akkuraat, sowel as met balans en objektiwiteit, te rapporteer. Die teorie fokus om reportage te desensasionaliseer en om media-etiek en selfregulering te bevorder. Die studie het kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe navorsingsmetodes gebruik. Die navorsing het vasgestel dat The Zimbabwean tot ’n groot mate ’n aktiewe rol gespeel het om die ZANU (PF)-regering uit te daag en ’n platform te bied aan die Movement for Democratic Change (MDC)-groepering. Die slotsom is dat, net soos die staatsmedia regering-propaganda bevorder het, The Zimbabwean dit vir die opposisiepartye in Zimbabwe gedoen het.

Using both quantitative and qualitative contentanalysis, the reader comments that include links in 80 articles on four topics – TheRefugee Crisis, the Syrian Conflict, Elections and Artificial Intelligence – from bothnewspapers were classified according to type and pro or contra stance to the article theywere posted in response to.The aim was to discover whether a majority of these comments agreed with or opposedthe main premises of the articles they were responding to and to determine whetherdifferent topics results in different reactions. In addition to that the goal was to try andascertain whether these findings indicated falling trust in journalists or not, and whatreaders sought to achieve by commenting and posting links, if in fact they had a concretemotivation.Findings demonstrated that 61.1% of reader comments with links disagreed with thearticles they were posted to, and controversial topics were more likely to attract links byreaders and greater disagreement. Previous research and this study could not clearlyconclude whether audience trust in journalists is falling or whether that was a mereextension of falling trust in authorities and organizations for example. It could also notdetermine whether audiences comment and share links to effect some form of change orwhether they simply seek a platform to express their opinion without any conscious goalin mind.

Full textAbstract:
A era do downsizing (CALDAS, 2000) se alastra sobre o jornalismo brasileiro. De forma cíclica e ininterrupta desde 2012, jornalistas são expulsos dos empregos e do mercado de trabalho na área – seja em reduções cirúrgicas de gastos ou em demissões coletivas, conhecidas no jargão de classe como “passaralhos”. O grande êxodo das redações, fenômeno que atinge todo o mundo (REINARDY, 2016) e levou à demissão milhares de profissionais da imprensa no país, é uma das evidências de um setor que tenta se adaptar às transformações do cenário instável da era informacional (CASTELLS, 2011), com alterações profundas na produção e no consumo de notícias. Falências, fusões e enxugamento organizacional se incorporam à rotina da imprensa e mudam as vidas tanto dos que são demitidos quanto dos que continuam em atuação, com insegura e sobrecarga de trabalho. As escolhas da imprensa são mudar ou morrer (TANDOC, 2014), em um processo cada vez mais evidente, para os trabalhadores, de destruição e reconstrução de saberes, práticas e valores de ofício. Apesar de o jornalismo estar em uma espiral da morte (MCCHESNEY, 2016) e seu fenômeno lembrar o desmonte do trabalho bancário (OLTRAMARI, 2010), é irrisória a produção acadêmica brasileira sobre a situação desse contingente ocupacional expulso de sua atividade. Em busca do entendimento dessas mudanças, esta dissertação investiga como a era do downsizing impacta a percepção dos jornalistas em relação a sua profissão, a seu trabalho e a seus planos de continuar na atividade. Para tanto, este estudo qualitativo básico, de natureza exploratória e interpretativa, realizou investigação empírica por meio de três grupos focais (MORGAN, 1996, 1997) na cidade de Porto Alegre. Selecionados por meio da técnica de snowball, foram ouvidos 18 jornalistas que foram vítimas ou sobreviventes da demissão coletiva. Em atenção à necessidade de conciliar informações multiníveis ao estudar ocupações e estruturas de trabalho em conflito (ABBOTT, 1993), são abordados os níveis macrocontextual, do sistema produtivo e do mundo do trabalho na pós-modernidade (FARIA, 2003, 2009; HARVEY, 1998); mesocontextual, da indústria e da profissão jornalística (FONSECA, 2005; MARCONDES FILHO, 2000; NEVEU, 2006; SCHUDSON, 1978; WAISBORD, 2013), e microcontextual, a respeito dos efeito do downsizing sobre os indivíduos (GREENHALGH; ROSENBLATT, 2010; NOER, 2009). Em consonância com a literatura adotada e a análise de conteúdo dos grupos focais (BARDIN, 2011), identificou-se que a vivência do downsizing provoca nos jornalistas a percepção de que as relações de trabalho foram intensificadamente precarizadas; há uma desesperança em relação às organizações empregadoras; tem-se a sensação de destruição e reconstrução de valores e práticas do ofício; e o exercício laboral causa exaustão e insatisfação. O downsizing é percebido como expressão de um declínio organizacional irreversível, no qual a demissão parece ser irremediável. As condições no presente levam os trabalhadores a projetarem o futuro em duas direções: a desistência, a partir da evasão da profissão; e a resistência, por meio da retomada de valores basilares, com a reafirmação da função social e da credibilidade; ou pela adaptação ao mercado em mutação, adquirindo novas qualificações e reinventando como fazer e “vender” o trabalho.The era of downsizing (CALDAS, 2000) is spreading over Brazilian journalism. Cyclically and uninterrupted since 2012, journalists are expelled from jobs and from their professional area - whether in surgical spending cuts or collective layoffs, known in the class jargon as "passaralho." The great exodus of newsrooms is a worldwide phenomenon (REINARDY, 2016) and it has forced thousands of media professionals to resign, as the industry tries to adapt to the transformations of the unstable scenario of the information age (CASTELLS, 2011) when the changes in news production and consumption are profound. Bankruptcies, mergers and organizational downsizing are commonplace into the press routine and change the lives of both those who are fired and those who continue to work with insecure and overworked conditions. The choices of the press are to change or die (TANDOC, 2014), in an increasingly evident process for the workers of destruction and reconstruction of knowledge, practices and values of office. Although journalism is in a spiral of death (MCCHESNEY, 2016) and its phenomenon reminds the dismantling of banking work (OLTRAMARI, 2010), the is no relevant Brazilian academic production about the journalists who are expelled from their jobs and profession. In order to understand these changes, this dissertation investigates how the era of downsizing impacts the perception of journalists in relation to their profession, their work and their plans to continue in the activity. For this purpose, this basic qualitative study, of an exploratory and interpretative nature, carried out empirical research through three focus groups (MORGAN, 1996, 1997) in Porto Alegre city. Selected by snowball technique, were heard 18 journalists victims or survivors of layoff. It was analyzed the macro-contextual, productive and labor-based levels of postmodernity (FARIA, 2003, 2009, HARVEY, 1998); (1998), and in the literature on the effects of downsizing on individuals (GREENHALGH and ROSENBLATT, 2010; NOER, 2009). Interpreted from the content analysis (BARDIN, 2011), the results showed that the layoff experience made journalists perceive intensely precarious working relationships, and they feel hopeless that the employers' organizations succeed. They also feel there are destruction and reconstruction of values and practices of the craft, and the workload causes exhaustion and dissatisfaction. Downsizing is seen as proof of an irreversible organizational decline, in which being dismissed will be inevitable one day. The present leads the workers to project the future in two directions: leaving journalism; or resist, either through the recovery of basic values, such as social function and credibility; either by adapting to the changing market, acquiring new skills and reinventing how to do and "sell" the work.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic is a global crisis with every country being affected. It is one of the widely reported crisis over the past few months. Crisis of such degree and range of influence demands a well-informed reporting with an understanding of the possible impact. As the media coverage is largely influenced by journalistic frames and their interpretations, it is highly important and relevant to study this crisis from a framing perspective. Therefore, this research aims to explore the construction of frames, to what extent they exist in the text in comparison to each other, and how they appear across different time periods by studying the online editorial coverage of the COVID-19 crisis published by New York Times. Eight constructive and seven negative frames have been deductively coded to conduct the research through qualitative content analysis with quantitative elements of the editorials published during three specific periods in January, February, and March of 2020. Constructive frames have been coded with the help of constructive journalism which is used as an analytical concept in this research, while negative frames have been retrieved from literature on the framing of previous crises. The analysis suggests that the editorial coverage of the COVID-19 crisis by New York Times is overall constructive but with focus on few dominant constructive and negative frames. Among constructive frames the most dominant frames are ‘solution-oriented’ and ‘mathematical’. Among negative frames the most dominant frames are ‘blame attribution’, frame of ‘consequences’ and ‘conflict’. Findings revealed that blame attribution is dominant as compared to the frame of solidarity and denial is dominant as compared to the frame of concern. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that the construction and appearance of frames change over different time periods with changed intensity level of crisis. This change requires versatile coverage and shift in attention towards newly emerging challenges.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyze how two Swedish news media, Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet, reported on the coronavirus (COVID-19) before and after WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The research questions examined were 1. how did the two chosen news media report about the coronavirus? 2. Is there a difference between how they reported before WHO declared it pandemic and after? This study is a qualitative analysis of 12 strategically selected articles, three that were published by Dagens Nyheter before WHO declared a pandemic and three by Dagens Nyheter after the declaration and three that were published by Aftonbladet before the declaration and three by Aftonbladet that were published after the declaration. To understand our empirical material, we chose the following theories for our study; framing, agenda setting, crisis journalism, media logic and storytelling techniques. In our analysis we could see a pattern in all the articles we analyzed. It shows that all the articles we analyzed are unique and sensational as we live in a pandemic that has never happened before in modern time, that's why they all came at the top of the agenda. The reporting in the two news media portrayed a troubled and uncertain time, from which it can be seen that the alarming emphasis in the reporting of the corona is recurring in several of the articles. Our analysis also showed that Aftonbladet has a more dramatic and dramaturgical storytelling technique as it is an evening newspaper and the articles from Dagens Nyheter are written shorter and more concretely.

Full textAbstract:
In both western and Russian historiography the Soviet-Finnish War of 1939-40 enjoys, at best, only a passing reference in any narrative of the period and is poorly integrated into existing scholarly analyses of the Soviet regime under Stalin. It is my contention that this conflict offers an invaluable opportunity to test for continuity and change in the form and function of the Stalinist system. Between the disastrous efforts of its forces and the condemnation of the international community, the Kremlin was confronted with the serious challenge of how to portray the events of the war in the media, while managing domestic and international opinion over the course of the fighting. This thesis examines the extent to which the Soviet regime under Stalin had the institutions and agents in place at the close of the 1930s to cope with the crisis of war in Finland; to be in command of the military campaign, while simultaneously controlling the direction of the official narrative about the fighting; and to censor conflicting interpretations, experiences and information channels, which might expose the Red Army's woeful performance on Finnish territory. This mobilisation of press, propaganda and censorship organs in the face of widespread international condemnation and domestic disquiet constituted a significant challenge for a regime still dealing with the sudden reorientation of the Communist International, required after the Soviet Union's conclusion of a non-aggression treat with Nazi Germany in August 1939. An international perspective is central to this thesis, with a view towards assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the public face and private practice of Soviet information controls.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the media coverage of the humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh during a war in the region in 2020. Drawing on the theoretical framework of humanitarian journalism, it first looks at the attention given to the issue within the daily coverage of the war, then turns to explore patterns in the narration of the past events and present situation in feature stories. Two transnational and two regional news outlets are analysed (The Guardian and Al Jazeera, Sputnik and Hürriyet), which all address a global audience through English, but represent different journalistic traditions, are based in countries with diverse involvement in the conflict and proximity to its parties, and have received different amount of attention in the research of humanitarian journalism. The results suggest that the humanitarian crisis in the region received little attention in general within the daily coverage of the war. People of the region were cited rarely in the reports on their condition and were largely absent from the news photographs too. They were depicted in feature articles mostly through their experience of fighting, limiting the diverse contexts of their lives. Although geographical, political and cultural proximity is argued to have affected the reporting by regional outlets, similarities and differences across the two groups were observed too.

Full textAbstract:
French Polynesia went through a political crisis from 2004 to 2005 which constituted an important chapter in the history of this recently upgraded 'Pays d'Outre-mer'. After the general elections of May 2004 in Tahiti, a series of controversial events unfolded which created polarity among the local people and which destabilised the government. This research aims to study qualitatively how the Tahitian political crisis is constructed by the French press, namely, le Figaro, le Monde and la Libération. Based on the CDA framework and Halliday's systemic grammar, this research embarks on Foucault's idea of subjectivity which governs the formation of discourse, by examining the linguistic structure of the clause in the press representations. The analysis reveals that events and people from the crisis can be configured in different ways in the clausal structure, which is, to a certain degree, triggered by the subjectivity of newspapers. La Libération offers a socialist view of the crisis through its discursive constructions which are more inclusive of the local people and by showing Temaru's rise to power in an optimistic manner. As for the conservative newspaper le Figaro, power hierarchies can be observed in some representations while certain individuals' responsibilities are hidden in the clausal structure. Even le Monde, which claims to maintain a neutral ground, exposes its intellectual and critical conceits in the construction of clauses which represent Tahiti's recent political crisis.

Este trabalho toma a cobertura da Folha de S. Paulo sobre a crise econômica de 2008 como objeto para um estudo do jornalismo como forma de conhecimento. O objetivo foi compreender como foi realizada a cobertura da crise, do ponto de vista dos tipos de conteúdo que produziu, das perspectivas e explicações que adotou, das posturas políticas defendidas, em suma, das prioridades editoriais desenvolvidas pelo veículo. Adota-se a perspectiva de que o jornalismo é uma forma de conhecimento social cristalizada no singular, que realiza a mediação entre os fatos e o público, caracterizando-se, enquanto conhecimento, por sua comunicabilidade. Sustentamos que contradições sociais estão envoltas no processo de significação jornalístico, o que justifica um estudo abrangendo abordagens informativas e opinativas, mantendo-se a essência no singular. Tratamos da ascensão e das características do neoliberalismo como projeto de classe hegemônico, que também é apontado como matriz de explicação para a crise econômica tema do trabalho. O jornalismo de economia, por sua vez, é o espaço pelo qual se percebe a relação do jornalismo com projetos político-econômicos, particularmente, o neoliberalismo, a transformar as pautas e formas de organização do jornalismo. A análise da cobertura realizada pela Folha de S. Paulo tem como corpus 6.176 textos jornalísticos de diferentes tipos e as manchetes de capa das 243 edições publicadas pelo jornal entre agosto de 2008 e março de 2009, período de maior acentuação da crise, incluindo impactos na economia brasileira. Pudemos observar a intensidade com que a crise foi acompanhada ao longo das semanas, destacando-se a quebra do Banco Lehman Brothers como marco efetivo da explosão do número de matérias. No decorrer dos meses, há mudanças de foco na cobertura, notadamente migrando do mercado financeiro para os governos; do exterior para o Brasil. As formas desenvolvidas pelo jornalismo de economia representam a estruturação básica da cobertura, do ponto de vista de temáticas, fontes e outros elementos. Identificamos, nas posições político-econômicas defendidas pelo jornal em editoriais e relacionadas aos destaques de capa, uma ênfase no dever do Estado em resolver os problemas trazidos pela crise, expressando, nesse ponto, a visão da ortodoxia neoliberal, pois assenta sua posição no corte de gastos públicos, flexibilização das leis trabalhistas e direito inquestionável das empresas de demitir. Aponta-se a maior participação de ex-integrantes do governo como de autores não jornalistas que compõem a contextualização dos acontecimentos da crise. Há uma ênfase no ponto de vista do mercado financeiro para observar os eventos e espaços generosos às entidades empresariais, ao contrário do que ocorre com os movimentos sociais e representação de trabalhadores. O econômico e o político estão inter-relacionados, tendo o jornalismo parte nesse contato, no caso da crise, reforçando a perspectiva hegemônica neoliberal. Conclui-se que, embora seja engendrada por concepções neoliberais, a cobertura se desenvolve baseada em formas de conhecer criadas pelo jornalismo.
This paper takes the coverage of Folha de S. Paulo about the economic crisis of 2008 as object for a study of journalism as a form of knowledge. It aimed understand how the coverage of the crisis was carried out from the point of view of the types of content produced, the perspectives and explanations adopted, the political positions defended, in short, the editorial priorities developed by the vehicle. The perspective adopted was that journalism is a form of social knowledge crystallized in the singular, that mediates facts and public, characterized, as knowledge, by its communicability. We argued that social contradictions are shrouded in the journalistic significance process, which justifies a study including informative and opinionated approaches, supporting the essence in the singular. The rise of neoliberalism and its features are understood as hegemonic class project, which is also indicated as explanation matrix for the economic crisis. Economic journalism, in turn, is the space in which it is perceived the relation between journalism and political-economic projects, particularly, neoliberalism, transforming the guidelines and forms of journalism organization. The analysis of the coverage of Folha de S. Paulo includes a corpus of 6,176 journalistic texts of different types and the cover headlines of the 243 issues published by the journal between August 2008 and March 2009, period of accentuation of the crisis, including impacts on Brazilian economy. It was possible to observe the intensity with which the crisis was followed over the weeks, emphasizing the crash of Lehman Brothers as an effective framework of the explosion in the number of news stories. Over the months, there were changes of focus on coverage, especially migrating from the financial market to governments; from abroad to Brazil. The forms developed by economic journalism represent the basic structure of the coverage from the point of view of themes, fonts and other elements. It was identified an emphasis on the duty of the state to solve the problems caused by the crisis, expressing the view of neoliberal orthodoxy as it rests its position in cuts of public spending, liberalization of labor legislation and unquestionable right of companies to dismiss in the political and economic positions taken by newspaper editorials and related to the highlights of cover. It was pointed the greater participation of former members of the government and non-journalists as authors that create the context of the crisis events. There was an emphasis on the point of view of financial market to observe the events and there were generous spaces to business entities, in contrast to what occurs with social movements and worker representation. The economic and the political aspects are interrelated, and journalism has participation in this relation, in the case of crisis, reinforcing the neoliberal hegemonic perspective. It was concluded that, although it is engendered by neoliberal concepts, coverage was developed based on ways of knowing created by journalism.

Full textAbstract:
Denna studie avser att undersöka hur arbetsförhållanden för sportjournalister i Sverige ser ut. Den avser även att se huruvida det skett några förändringar över tid, i takt med ett förändrat medieklimat med teknisk utveckling och en hägrande "tidningsdöd". Uppsatsen bygger på frågeställningen "Hur ser yrkesverksamma sportjournalister på sina arbetsförhållanden i relation till det föränderliga medieklimatet?" och "Hur ser sportjournalister på nya digitala verktyg såsom sociala medier och ökad profilering i samband med den digitala utvecklingen? Arbetet baseras på sju stycken kvalitativa intervjuer som konstruerats efter teori kring sportjounalistik, mediekonvergens, samt en tidigare studie av David Hesmondhalgh & Sarah Baker om arbetsförhållanden i de kreativa näringarna i Storbritannien. Intervjurespondenterna bestod avav sju stycken sportjournalister, med minst tio års erfarenhet av yrket. Studiens huvudsakliga resultat visar att sportjournalister idag ofta har väldigt späckade arbetsdagar, med många timmar och fler arbetsuppgifter än tidigare. Detta är speciellt tydligt under stora evenemang, såsom fotbolls-VM och OS, då arbetsdagarna blir extremt hektiska och långa. Journalisterna känner också en, i olika grad, oro och osäkerhet kring deras arbete, i takt med en ökande konkurrens och tidninsbranschens kris. Tidningars steg till webben har gjort att journalisterna upplever en ökad stress att leverera snabbt och det finns tankar om en försämrad kvalité. Uppkomsten av social media har gjort att journalisterna har funnit nya sätt att hämta information på, men det har även betytt att det blivit lättare för läsare att bedöma och kritisera deras arbete, vilket kan drabba dem hårt.Title: “Are we live now?” - A study about the role of the sports journalist and the working conditions in the changing media landscape Author: Joakim Almén & Joacim Clarin Tutor: Lowe Hedman Purpose: The purpose of this thesis was to study how the working conditions for sports journalists in Sweden appear and whether there have been changes in relation to the changing media landscape, with the upcoming of new technologies and the emerging crisis within the media business. The key question to answer is how the sports journalist feel about their working situations? In which way have the movement towards the web and the newspaper crisis affected them? Method/Material: The material in this paper consists of seven interviews with prominent sports journalists, all with ten or more years experience in the business. The interviews were all based on theory regarding sports journalism and media convergence, and a former study by David Hesmondhalgh & Sarah Baker, regarding the working conditions in the "creative business" in Great Britain. Main Results: The main results shows that the sports journalists often have long working days, especially during big events such as the World Cup in football and the Olympic Games, with little time for rest. The journalists have also been assigned more tasks than before, which makes their work very hectic. The journalists feel an uncertainty, in various degrees, regarding their job and the crisis within the business, with economic cuts and the increasing competition. The movement towards the web has made their work more stressful in regards to needs to write and publish faster, which in turn has created a concern for poor quality in what they create. The upcoming of social media works in two ways, either as a journalistic tool or a way in wich the public can share their critizism or abuse the journalists.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how Dagens Nyheter and The New York Times are framing the climate crisis in their news reporting during the period 1-30 November 2020. The thesis is based on Robert Entman’s theory on framing, Shanto Iyengar’s theory on episodic and thematic framing and Maxwell E. McCombs and Donald Lewis Shaw's theory on agenda setting as a metatheory for discussion. The research questions are: (1) Which frames are being used by Dagens Nyheter and the New York Times in their news reports on the climate crisis during the period 1-30 November 2020?, (2) To what extent are these frames being used in each newspaper? and (3) To what extent do the newspapers use thematic and episodic frames?. The material consists of 26 articles from Dagens Nyheter, and 35 from The New York Times. By using both a quantitative content analysis and a qualitative content analysis, we analyzed the chosen material. Research question (1) showed that the frames that were being used were politics, environmental impact, weather/natural disasters and economy. Research question (2) showed that politics/government and responsibility were the dominant framework in both newspapers, followed by environmental impact, weather/natural disasters and economy. Research question (3) showed that the majority of the articles in both newspapers had a thematic framework. One of the differences that was identified between the newspapers was that The New York Times used thematic frames to a greater extent than Dagens Nyheter. Based on Iyengar’s theory it is therefore reasonable to assume that The New York Times portrayal of the climate crisis might have a greater effect on the public opinion than Dagens Nyheter. Dagens Nyheter, however, used episodic frames to a greater extent, which according to Iyengar often evokes stronger emotional reactions from the recipients.The study’s chosen theories proved to be a good fit for describing and explaining how climate related articles are being framed in the papers.

Esta tese dedica-se a elaborar o ciberacontecimento breaking news, uma formulação teórico-metodológica para compreender o breaking news no jornalismo contemporâneo realizado em redes digitais. À expressão breaking news é atribuída uma intensificação da relação entre as categorias substantivas dos valores-notícia oriunda dos níveis de extraordinariedade dos acontecimentos e as rotinas jornalísticas como procedimento chave para a realização do trabalho jornalístico. Considerando a capacidade de impor o determinismo jornalístico aos fenômenos como uma das características que mais distingue o fazer profissional, parte do pressuposto que, atualmente, tal habilidade possui contornos intrincados. Pois sua prática é suscetível a influências de um ecossistema midiático complexo, em rede, descentralizado, acelerado, fluído, e marcado pela multiplicação do número de atores capazes de construir a realidade. Partindo do ciberacontecimento, o conceito proposto de ciberacontecimento breaking news constrói teoricamente esta intensificação, oferecendo possibilidades de abordá-la empiricamente. Esta construção é realizada por meio de dois movimentos. O primeiro desenvolve a proposta teórico-metodológica. Busca interfaces com a Teoria Ator-Rede (TAR), com o conceito de rizoma, de Deleuze e Guattari, com o método da cartografia e a com prática da curadoria de conteúdo. Objetiva arquitetar a anatomia e a dinâmica do processo evenemencial de um acontecimento extraordinário ao se desenvolver em rede. O segundo movimento busca, na teoria do jornalismo recente, subsídios para sustentar o ciberacontecimento breaking news. Para isso, são analisados 75 artigos publicados em um período de dez anos (2007-2016) nos periódicos Journalism, Journalism Practice e Digital Journalism. Esta análise traça uma evolução da expressão “breaking news” na contemporaneidade observando as discussões realizadas em sua órbita. Elas nutrem e contextualizam as características do ciberacontecimento breaking news desenvolvidas no primeiro movimento. A abordagem do breaking news desenvolvida nesta tese sugere um processo de dispersão e de reconcentração das práticas jornalísticas, em um movimento cuja tendência é a ampliação das fronteiras do jornalismo.
This doctoral thesis develops the cyberevent breaking news, a theoretical-methodological proposal that aims to understand the breaking news in contemporary Journalism performed in digital networks. The expression breaking news here is understood as an intensification of the relationship between the substantive categories of the news values originated from the events’ levels of extraordinariness and the journalistic routine as a key procedure for performing the journalistic work. Knowing that the capacity to impose journalistic determinism to phenomena is one of the characteristics that distinguishes professional journalistic work, it is based on the assumption that, nowadays, this ability has intricate boundaries, since it is known that its practice is open to influences of a complex, networked, decentralized, accelerated, fluid media ecosystem that is characterized by the multiplication of the number of actors able to build the social reality. Taking the concept of cyberevent as starting point, the cyberevent breaking news builds the mentioned intensification theoretically, offering possibilities to approach it empirically. This construction is splited in two movements. The first one develops the theoretical-methodological proposal itself. It does this by creating interfaces with the Actor-Network Theory (ANT), with the Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of rhizome, with the cartography method and with content curation practice. The goal is to architect the anatomy and dynamics of the evenemential process of an extraordinary event when it happens in a network. The second one quests subsidies to sustain the cyberevent breaking news in the recent journalism theory. For this, 75 articles published over a period of ten years (2007-2016) in the journals Journalism, Journalism Practice and Digital Journalism are analyzed. This analysis traces an evolution of the expression "breaking news" in the contemporaneity observing the discussions that appears in its orbit. Such discussions feed and contextualize the characteristics of the cyberevent breaking news developed in the first effort. The understanding of the breaking news developed in this thesis suggests a process of dispersion and reconcentration of journalistic practices, in a movement that indicates the expansion of the journalism boundaries.

Full textAbstract:
The newspaper industry has clearly been affected thoroughly by digitalization, and as a result has adapted its traditional practices to accommodate for the numerous possibilities this change presents. The printed paper is becoming less viable each day, while its online counterpart continues to gain recognition. In this thesis, we conduct a case study in order to examine a large-scale local newspaper company which has gone from analog to digital and beyond over the course of what is only a fraction of its lifetime. Qualitative interviews are conducted as part of the case study, providing us with valuable insight into both how the organization works and makes decisions as well as the perspectives of individuals. The results are analyzed through applying a theoretical framework, building on previous research regarding digitalization and convergence. The study reveals that post-digitalization technological practices and investment decisions are heavily influenced by a pre-digitalization mindset on many organizational levels, leading to a utilization of new technological services in a manner which leaves much to be desired. Still, the organization competes very well on their market as the printed issue is able to carry its own weight and more. However, sales decline rapidly, and uncertainty combined with excitement clouds the future as the organization are eager to utilize new technology, yet remain divided in opinion on what strategy to adopt when taking on new challenges in an ever more digital context. This hints of many changes to come, with the most intriguing one being what has been identified as a possible change to the very identity of the company.

The objective of this study is to become immersed in the journalism market of the city of João Pessoa in order to understand the relationship between journalists and ethics. Other objectives are also intended, such as understanding the assessment that these professionals make of themselves, of their peers and of the market in which they work, in the light of ethics. Comprehending this scenario, investigating who are the largest employers of journalists in the capital city Paraiba, the salaries paid and the relationships the employers hold with their editorial staff, make up the secondary objectives. To achieve these aims it was necessary to use various research tools, including field research through the use of questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaires were formulated to scrutinize, through the personal experiences and evaluations of the respondents, the logic which governs the market, and what ethical and technical limits the market imposes on itself. The interviews sought answers from both employees and employers on their working relationship and its effects on João Pessoa’s press. Composing the theoretical corpus proved to be a particular challenge: searching for statements that assist in understanding the trajectory of the ethical reflections, from their origin to contemporary times, and to acquiring the characteristics of ethical standards for professional categories. The analysis of the results showed that the journalists of João Pessoa are aware that the local public don’t have a press that they need and/or deserve, as it invests increasingly in sensationalist programs in which human misery is the main agenda; it also revealed that journalists are able to clearly perceive the ethical misconduct of their peers, but do not see themselves as involved in this context. Thus, the professional self-assessment is different to an assessment from others, excluding the ethical responsibilities, causing a phenomenon called in the social sciences as the ‘’bystander effect’’. This study concludes that relativized and individualized ethics, present in the working relationship between the journalists of João Pessoa, coupled with the loss of jobs, makes it urgent and necessary to promote discussions that bring together the faculties of journalism as a way of avoiding the depletion of journalism courses and the subsequent decimation of the profession. Keywords: Ethics. Journalism Ethics. Job Market. Press of João Pessoa. Crisis in Journalism.
Este estudo tem como objetivo imergir no mercado jornalístico de João Pessoa a fim de compreender a relação que os jornalistas têm com a ética. Outros objetivos são pretendidos, como entender a avaliação que esses profissionais fazem de si próprios, de seus pares e do mercado onde trabalham, sob a luz da ética. Conhecer esse cenário, investigando quem são os maiores empregadores de jornalistas na capital paraibana, quais os salários pagos e que relação esses patrões têm com as redações dos veículos que comandam, encerra os objetivos secundários. Para alcançar as pretensões almejadas fez-se necessário o uso de vários instrumentos de investigação, dos quais se destaca a pesquisa de campo, por meio de questionários e entrevistas. Os questionários foram formulados de maneira a perscrutar, por meio das experiências e avaliações pessoais dos respondentes, a lógica que rege esse mercado e que limites éticos – e técnicos – impõem a si mesmo quando do exercício da profissão. As entrevistas buscaram respostas junto a empregados e empregadores sobre o funcionamento de relação existente entre si e seus reflexos na imprensa pessoense. Compor o corpus teórico revelou-se um desafio à parte, quando da busca por enunciados que dialogassem com a pesquisa e auxiliassem na compreensão da trajetória que as reflexões éticas fizeram desde sua origem até a contemporaneidade, quando adquire características de normas deontológicas para categorias profissionais. A análise dos resultados mostrou que o jornalista pessoense é consciente de que o público local não tem a imprensa que precisa e/ou merece, posto que esta investe cada vez mais em programas sensacionalistas, nos quais a miséria humana é a pauta principal; revelou também que o jornalista é capaz de perceber com clareza os desvios éticos de seus colegas de profissão, mas não enxerga a si mesmo inserido nesse contexto. Assim, a avaliação profissional que faz de si é diferente da que faz do outro, se excluindo das responsabilidades éticas, incorrendo num fenômeno tratado pelas ciências sociais como “efeito espectador”. A pesquisa conclui que a ética relativizada e individualizada, presente nas relações de trabalho entre os jornalistas de João Pessoa, somada à perda de postos de trabalho, torna urgente e necessária a ampliação do diálogo entre a práxis do mercado jornalístico e o saber acadêmico, como forma de contribuir para se evitar a precarização do ensino nos cursos de comunicação, bem como a banalização e coisificação da prática jornalística.

Full textAbstract:
By 2019, the Syrian civil war has lasted for nearly eight years and it has created the largest humanitarian crisis since WWII (Achlume, 2015). Using the siege of Aleppo in 2016 as a case study, the author applied a Marxist-humanist theoretical framework and incorporated arts-based research methodology to examine how US news media supports capitalist social relations. The research question for this study was: how do the US media depictions of the siege of Aleppo, Syria in 2016 reflect capitalist social relations? There were three sub-questions that followed: (1) Which elements of the siege of Aleppo in 2016 get the most attention in the specific outlets examined? In what ways do these depictions support the US government and/or corporate interests? (2) What are some of the ways in which Syrian refugees are depicted in the various outlets examined? How and in what ways is US humanitarian policy reflected? How are Syrian’s racialized through these depictions? and (3) How are corporate and government interests tied to these media outlets? This study used narrative inquiry, visual analysis, and critical discourse analysis as research methods to discover five major themes found in US news media’s reporting on the siege of Aleppo in 2016. The author then examined these five main themes through a Marxist-humanist lens to discover how the US news media, the supposed “gatekeeper” for the public, establishes, maintains, and reinforces an ideology that supported hegemony for the dominant class.
