Abstract:
This research explores the representation of children and young people in a newspaper. The objective was to develop a 'case study' profile of representations in a monopoly daily newspaper in a geographically-isolated Australian capital city. News content with a primary focus on people aged zero to eighteen years was collected for a 12-month period, and analysed from a constructionist perspective, using agenda-setting, news source, media framing and critical linguistics media analysis techniques. Distinctive features of the research design include the combination of these four analytic techniques and the breadth of the age cohort in the research sample. A large body of research literature is used to 'benchmark' the primary analysis of data, and to inform the analyses of age, 'race' and gender. These data are consolidated in three thematic frames: the Promotional Child, Victim Child and Deviant Child, which underpin the aggregated profile of representations developed in this research. Numerous images are reproduced from the research sample and appear throughout the thesis, embedded in relevant discussions. The concluding chapter of the thesis foregrounds a perception of children as voiceless, vulnerable and violent characters, featured in a discourse on social control. Key observations highlighted in this research include disparities in the degree of overt vernacular criticism applied to children and other minority population groups; and the over-representation of marginalised cohorts in compromising newspaper images. The extensive use of children in promotional contexts appears to be partially obscured by the altruistic function of non-commercial promotions and advocacy campaigns. 'Collisions' between altruistic values and news values were found to be predictive of outcomes coinciding with the interests of a target audience; negative outcomes for socially disadvantaged children; and consistent 'collateral benefits' for the news medium seemingly regardless of outcomes experienced by other stakeholders.

Abstract:
This study examines the relationship which scholars have with newspapers against the background of a Newspapers in Education (NIE) programme in two black South African primary schools. Considering the presence of newspapers in the class as a medium of instruction, a number of factors are found to influence the -relationship which scholars have with newspapers. These factors are: scholars' access to newspapers; the nature of lessons using the newspaper; the character of the newspaper used in NIE and the context of education at the particular schools, including the attitudes and organisational abilities of both teachers and the principal. A description and analysis of this relationship is conducted in terms of the knowledge, attitudes and behaviour which scholars had -in te1ation to newspapers. This research is qualitative, undertaken from a constructivist-interpretative approach, and is set within international and South African contexts. The findings are relevant to understanding NIE programmes' interface with scholars' educational performance and with newspaper marketing objectives, as well as to the theorisation of NIE practices.

Abstract:
This research thesis investigates news journalists?? role in the promotion and protection of peace and human rights. I explore how news journalists do not just have the ability, through the discursive selections they make, to be a catalyst for peace and non-violent solutions, it is their obligation under international human rights. My study links arguments about universal ethics for media based on international human rights with the practical and analytical approach of ??peace journalism??. The main argument rests on the idea that objectivity or impartiality in news journalism does not equal ethical neutrality since there is always a discursive selection made by the news journalists. In order to monitor whether news journalists discursive selections comply with the international human rights obligations, I have explored how the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission (HREOC) report A Last Resort? were covered in three Australian newspapers when it was published in 2004. The HREOC report was a testament of human rights abuses by the Australian Federal Governments towards children in Australian detention centres. I establish that health professionals were a significant group for both HREOC??s main findings and recommendations and a key group for the contextualisation of the human rights violations explored and exposed in the HREOC report. Informed by conflict analysis and peace studies theories I argue HREOC establish how the detention policy equals ??structural violence?? that caused ??direct violence??, which was justified and normalised because ??cultural violence??. I use discourse analysis to explore the discursive selections in the newspapers, and establish that the report received limited coverage and health professionals were omitted in the news while the political conflict was reported. This trivialised the report and health professionals?? role, which led to the naturalisation and normalisation of the violence. I finally reinforce these finding by exploring alternatives to the coverage using a peace journalism framework, which further clarifies the subjective nature of the discursive selection.

Abstract:
The language used in newspaper articles affects the way readers internalize issues presented; thus, when negative language is used, readers' perceptions of issues may be influenced negatively. One issue for which language and word choice are particularly important is immigration, and historically, reporters have employed a variety of metaphors while writing about immigration in the United States. During the summer of 2014, there was a noticeable outpouring of newspaper coverage relating to thousands of unaccompanied Central American minors crossing undocumented to the United States. Although undocumented migration from Central American has been a common occurrence for decades, the number of children crossing during this time period was unusual. Through the conceptual frameworks of "othering" and moral geographies, this study uses content analysis to identify terminology and metaphors used in local newspapers close to the U.S.-Mexico border, state-wide coverage along the U.S.-Mexico border, and two national newspapers. Water-related metaphors were the most frequently used type of metaphor. There was no correlation between the perspective of the article toward the migrants and the use of metaphors. Thus, newspaper articles present metaphors as neutral terms, although the connotation of these metaphors may be very negative, implying danger or harm. This demonstrates an underlying contradiction between neutral newspaper coverage of an issue, such as immigration, and charged language, which can lead readers to visualize immigrants as dangers to communities and lifestyles, perpetuating the idea of immigrants as "others" who threaten societal norms, even while reading an article that is not overtly negative.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to make a qualitative study of how social services work is produced in local and national Swedish newspapers in connection with five child welfare cases. The starting point of the study was qualitative and based on five selected childcare cases with a total of 136 articles. To analyze these articles discourse analysis was used with inspiration from Foucault. The material was analyzed from the theory of framing and the concepts of power and scapegoat. The results and analysis section are divided into three main themes with subheadings. The first theme is about how it is written about the work of social services based on child welfare cases. The second theme is about scapegoats and the third theme deals with the similarities and differences we have found between the national and local newspaper articles. The results of the study have shown that the social services work with children and young people is presented as responsible for the events that are written and as an organization with deficiency. The result has also shown that the media has the power to choose who will be heard, what to publish and how to write about events. We have also analyzed how the newspapers choose to frame and highlight certain perspectives of an event through the theory of framing. We have found differences and similarities between how national and local newspapers write about social services work with children and young people.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar como se dá a cobertura de ciência em suplementos infantis de jornais impressos no Brasil. Selecionamos os jornais O Globo e Folha de S. Paulo, os dois principais jornais em circulação no país, com seus suplementos Globinho e Folhinha, respectivamente. Nossa análise incluiu os textos com temática científica publicados ao longo de um ano (2008), num total de 314. Após a análise dos textos e imagens que formam o corpus da pesquisa, realizamos entrevistas com editores e repórteres dos dois suplementos para esclarecer os processos de produção do material estudado. Os resultados apontam que os dois suplementos, embora não sejam especializados em ciência, constituem importantes veículos de divulgação científica para o público infantil, destacando-se, sobretudo, as ciências biológicas e humanas. Ambos assumem como missão apresentar os temas científicos de forma desafiadora e que desperte a curiosidade das crianças, sem tratar os conteúdos de maneira excessivamente simplória. Porém, raramente apresentam aos leitores os riscos e questões controversas da ciência, que poderiam suscitar um debate mais profundo acerca das pesquisas científicas.leitores os riscos e questões controversas da ciência, que poderiam suscitar um debate mais profundo acerca das pesquisas científicas.
This study explores science coverage in the children’s supplements of Brazil’s two main newspapers for the elite classes, O Globo and Folha de S. Paulo. The corpus comprised texts containing science topics that were published in the two supplements (Globinho and Folhinha, respectively) during a one-year period (2008),comprising a total of 314 news pieces. Following analysis of these texts and their images, the editors and reporters assigned to the two supplements were interviewed about the processes involved in producing the material under study. Findings suggest that although neither supplement specializes in science communication per se, they are both valuable vehicles for conveying information on science topics to a young audience, primarily on the biological and human sciences. Both state their mission is to present science topics in a way that challenges and sparks the curiosity of their readerships, without using overly simplistic approaches to communicate content. Yet they rarely inform their readers about the risks or controversies associated with science, something that might encourage a more in-depth debate about scientific research.

Abstract:
This thesis contains a qualitative content analysis of Daily Monitor, Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet’s articles about children, and child soldiers in Uganda. In total, there were 26 articles that have been applied to this study. The purpose of this thesis was to compare all 26 articles with each other to see potential diffrences or similarities. Theory based answers were applied when I was analyzing the articles' differences and similarities. The thematic content analysis applied and used to catagorize the concerning theames in the articles are: children or soldiers (as the major theme), and heroes and victims (as undercategorial theme). Postcolonial, childhood and childsoldier theories were used as the theoretical framework to the thesis, and they were all applied in the analysis. The chosen theoretical framework contributed not only to a critical viewpoint about children, and child soldiers, but also to Western power relations, which appeared in many newspapers. Furthermore, the theoretical framework contributed with different views about children, and child soldiers in different social and cultural contexts.

Abstract:
The purpose of this essay was to examine how mental illness among children and adolescents is conveyed in a few of the Swedish daily and evening newspapers in an attempt to create an understanding of the depiction. This was examined by analyzing 14 articles in three Swedish daily and evening newspapers, Svenska Dagbladet, Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet during the period 2015–2019. To answer the study's purpose and research question, a qualitative text analysis was used, which was supplemented with the social constructivist perspective and the framing theory. The conclusion of the study showed that these three Swedish daily and evening newspapers tended not to present a holistic perspective on the phenomenon of children and adolescents' mental illness. The depiction was mainly about research and experts that were allowed to speak on the subject, which resulted in the description of children and adolescents' mental illness being primarily from a scientific perspective. The articles did not address the affected children and adolescents to the extent required, which meant that their perspectives were not communicated. Based on the framing theory and social constructivism, this can be interpreted as part of the maintenance of social constructions and norms around mental illness.

Abstract:
This thesis is an investigation of writing by New Zealand children in the Children's Pages of five New Zealand newspapers: the New Zealand Herald, Christchurch Press and Otago Daily Times in the 1930s and 1980s, the Dominion in the 1930s; and the Wellington Evening Post in the 1980s. Its purpose is to show how children reflected their world, interacted with editors, and interpreted the adult world in published writing, and to examine continuities and changes between the 1930s and 1980s. It seeks evidence of gender variations in writing. and explores the circumstances in which the social role of writing was established by young writers. It considers the ways in which children (especially girls) consciously and unconsciously used public writing to create a public place for themselves. It compares major themes chosen by children, their topic and genre preferences in writing, and the gender and age differences evident in these preferences. The thesis is organised into three Parts, with an Introduction discussing the scholarly background to the issues it explores, and its methodology. Part One contains two chapters examining the format and tone of each Children's Page. And the role and influence of their Editors. Part Two (also of two chapters) investigates the origins and motivations of the young contributors, with a special focus on the Otago Daily Times as a community newspaper. Part Three. of four chapters, explores the children's writing itself, in separate chapters on younger and older children, and a chapter on the most popular genre, poetry. The conclusion suggests further areas of research, and points to the implications of the findings of the thesis for social history in New Zealand and for classroom practice. The thesis contains a Bibliography and an Appendix with a selection of writings by Janet Frame and her family to the Otago Daily Times Children's Page in the 1930s.

Abstract:
Mischlingskinder, also referred to as brown babies were the illegitimate children of African American occupation soldiers in post-World War II Germany. The complexities of their existence are often discussed in the context of national identity, racial identity and diplomacy. Their existence in Germany presented social struggles for the children as well as their mothers as a post Nazi German began towards society of racial acceptance. A few cases, through the cooperation of both the US and German government, some of the children were eligible for adoptions by African American families in America through the Brown Baby Adoption Plan. A thematic analysis was performed on 20 archived newspaper articles to uncover the different themes in which the children are discussed. My question is whether these themes connect to a lager theoretical concept of the “priceless child”. The results uncovered themes in which the brown babies were discussed which included their treatment in Germany, neglect, adoption and arrival in adoptive homes. The narratives of the children change over time in relation to the specific themes.

Abstract:
This thesis places men at the centre of an examination of child murder in England between 1860 and 1900. Drawing on over 1400 newspaper articles from The Times and a further 3500 from the provincial press, this study investigates the various representations of men who killed their own, or other people's, children. It examines the varied responses to their crimes by the legal system and argues that such a study can reveal much about the cultural constructions and representations of gender, fatherhood, and crime. After examining the historiography of infanticide and child murder and identifying the main changes in the law affecting the care and treatment of children in the late nineteenth century, this thesis moves on to scrutinise the sources available for this previously neglected area of gender and crime history . In addition, it also addresses some of the issues surrounding the recent, and growing, availability of primary sources via the internet. Chapter Three continues with the main theme of newspapers and provides a detailed analysis of the dissemination of paternal child murder narratives in the second half of the nineteenth century. Chapter Four uses a microhistory to reconstruct and explore a case of paternal child murder and the related issues of male insanity. The subsequent chapter examines the success and failure of insanity as a defence in cases of paternal child murder.

Abstract:
Bibliography : leaves 142-148.
The study was designed to investigate child labour with particular regard to Black newsvendors in the Cape Peninsula. Data was gathered from interviews with local organisations active in the field of child labour and the employment conditions of newsvendors, as well as a field study carried out in the Cape Peninsula. A review of local and international literature was also undertaken. A brief account of child labour in the Western Cape is given which provided the necessary backdrop to the study. The field study involved in-depth interviews with 52 Black newsvendors in the Cape Peninsula. This comprised interviews with the first available four newsvendors in each of the 13 areas in the Cape Peninsula in which newspapers are sold by vendors. Respondents completed an interview schedule administered by the researcher. The interview schedule furnished information on the employment conditions of newsvendors, their role as wage-earners, their education and training, their safety, health and welfare. Analysis of the data revealed that the majority of newsvendors worked as child labourers under deplorable working conditions. The findings demonstrated that young Black newsvendors comprised a pool of cheap and exploited labour. Their exploitation is evident in their deprivation of family life, of reasonable working hours, of time to pursue social and leisure interests as children, of a negotiated wage, of favourable working conditions, of dignity, of the acknowledgement of the value of their labour, of legal protection, of membership in an effective worker organisation, of further acquisition of knowledge and skills, of opportunities and scope for advancement. The findings reveal that young Black newsvendors work under conditions detrimental to their health, safety and welfare. Many young Black newsvendors who sell newspapers in the early hours of the morning often start to work without breakfast. They spend a considerable amount of time on the streets without any rest periods, leading to irregular mealtimes, while many survive on food of inferior nutritional value. These young newsvendors have to survive in occupational circumstances where robberies and assaults frequently occur. In these circumstances the peer group begins to play an important role. Young newsvendors are often induced to succumb to the influences of co-workers. The newsvendors in this study also expressed a deep sense of hopelessness and despondency about their own lives. Any prospects of a better future are seriously curtailed by the lack of formal education and industrial skills. The majority of the newsvendors said that they enjoyed going to school but had to leave in order to support the family income. The recommendations draw attention to the need for the improvement of working conditions, training and supportive services, but recognises that this is only possible once newsvendors are organised in an effective worker organisation.

Full text
Abstract:
Children occupy an ever-more prominent position in public discourse in late-modern Britain, with politicians, news media and other key definers consistently depicting childhood as inherently problematic. Popular portrayals of juveniles tend to conceive of them as being subject to multifarious ‘risks’, with younger children, in particular, considered vulnerable to all manner of threats – from illnesses and medical emergencies to technological perils to the predations of deviant elements in society. When not threatened themselves, moreover, they are frequently depicted as presenting a menace to others, in a manner redolent of earlier moral panics about subversive youth sub-cultures. Drawing on a rich literature of research into news-making, textual framing and media reception, this thesis uses a triangulated methodology to explore the interplay between contemporary newspaper journalists, their sources of news, the narratives they weave, and (actual or potential) members of their audiences. It argues that the dominant, at times paradoxical, positioning of children – by press and public alike – as either or both of victims and threats amounts to an endemic ‘juvenile panic’, which is rooted in a continuum of ambivalences about minors that can be traced through history. This simmering state of panic boils over whenever it finds purchase in singular dramatic events – fuelled by the demands of a commercially driven media; journalists’ pragmatic reliance on official sources with fear-promoting agendas; and the public’s appetite for a good horror story. It is further argued that a particular focus on the dangers posed by ‘familiar strangers’ (adult or juvenile) acts as a displacement for deep-seated concerns stemming from recent changes in Britain’s society and economy - notably growing personal insecurity and the slow decline of social trust.

The purpose of this study is to probe into school children’s newspaper reading with the “Survey of Newspaper Reading”. It designed “newspaper in education for children” and explored sixth-grade elementary school children’s attitudes toward “newspaper in education for children”, science reading and science.The subjects were 33 students taught by the researcher in an elementary school in Taoyuan County. The study was mainly based on quantitative approach and supported by qualitative method. The research tools included the “Scale of Attitudes toward Newspaper in Education for Children”, “Scale of Attitudes toward Science Reading” and “Scale of Attitudes toward Science”. Pretest and posttest were conducted before and after the instruction. The data were analyzed with statistical methods, including paired t-test, and average frequency. The researcher also adopted learning sheets, experimental learning sheets, questionnaires, interviews, live recording and instructional journals to analyze the results. The research findings are as follows: 1. Before the implementation of “newspaper in education for children”, the school children are passive in reading science articles. 2. Attitudes toward newspaper in education for children: the scores of experimental group were higher in posttest than in pretest, and it reached significant difference. After further analysis on the sub-scales (“personal reading”, “science DIY” and “group discussion”), significant difference was observed. 3. Attitudes toward science reading: the scores of experimental group were higher than in posttest than in pretest, and it reached significant difference. The researcher further analyzed the sub-scales (“attitudes toward reading of science article on newspaper”, “reading of science article on newspaper” and “reading value of science article on newspaper”), and found significant difference. 4. Attitudes toward science: the scores of experimental group were higher in posttest than in pretest, and it reached significant difference. The researcher further analyzed the sub-scales (“attitudes toward science learning”, “attitudes toward the importance of science”, “attitudes toward scientific activities”), and found significant difference. 5. In the process of “newspaper in education for children”, the researcher enhance teaching professionalism through teaching reflection.
