Induced Seismic Activity

High-volume hydraulic fracturing combined with horizontal drilling has “revolutionized” the United States’ oil and gas industry by allowing extraction of previously inaccessible oil and gas trapped in shale rock [1]. Although the United States has extracted shale gas in different states for several decades, the United Kingdom is in the early stages of developing its domestic shale gas resources, in the hopes of replicating the United States’ commercial success with the technologies [2, 3]. However, the extraction of shale gas using hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling poses potential risks to the environment and natural resources, human health, and communities and local livelihoods. Risks include contamination of water resources, air pollution, and induced seismic activity near shale gas operation sites. This paper examines the regulation of potential induced seismic activity in Oklahoma, USA, and Lancashire, UK, and concludes with recommendations for strengthening these protections.

Political Spectrum

This research examines coverage of refugees in an attempt to further understand how media frames are actively, and perhaps ideologically, constructed. Articles between 2010 and 2015 were analysed in accordance with their publication in sixteen different news publications from the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. The newspapers were selected from opposite ends of the ideological political spectrum. This research explores the consequences of these findings for the international community and for objective international newspaper reporting.

Chinese Counterpart

This study compares the standard of journalistic excellence between the news reporting awards in the United States and China from 1979 to 1984, under a newsgatherer-analyst-narrator framework. The manifest criteria of selection in the Pulitzer Prize emphasizes analytical excellence while its Chinese counterpart emphasizes narrative excellence. However, when the latent attributes of the prize-winning stories are analyzed by content analysis, both awards emphasize narrative excellence. Prize-winning stories in both systems are characterized by opinionated reports. Objectivity is not treasured as a criterion for journalistic excellence.

The United States has taken the lead to achieve the shale gas industrial production and created a shale gas revolution throughout the world. According to the exploitation experience of the United States, the key of shale gas business development realization is to adopt horizontal well combined with fracturing technology. At present fracturing technology used commonly include multi-stage fracturing, water fracturing, refracturing, etc. China has great potential in shale gas resource, recoverable resources has 25.08×1012m3, but they are mainly located in the drought and water lack area, and the clay mineral content for shale gas reservoir is higher, the traditional water-based fracturing fluid used for shale gas development caused a lot of water consumption and serious reservoir damage, therefore, it is not suitable for shale gas reservoir conditions in China. In the process of domestic shale gas development, exploring novel fracturing and development technology is irreversible.

Conflict Information

This study aims to explore the forms of information reproduction in online mass media, with specific issues on Middle East conflicts. The present study adopts a qualitative descriptive model. The data were collected from the news reports on the Syrian conflicts by some leading online news platforms such as Republika, Kompas and Tempo. The data were taken from January to October 2018 and were analyzed using the qualitative analysis stages of the Miles and Huberman model. The research findings indicate that each mass media has differences in reproducing Middle East conflict information, in terms of their data source and point of view of news reporting. Republika tends to take the opposition's point of view to the Syrian government so that it puts the United States and its allies as its main subject. On the contrary, Kompas departed from the point of view of sympathy for the Syrian government and its allies, jeopardizing the United States and its allies in reporting. The third media, Tempo, takes the point of view of narrating events chronologically and focuses a lot on humanitarian issues in the news they deliver.
