The article deals with the analysis of the balance of opinion in the newspaper, which is originally realized through editorial and op-ed genres. We analyzed 20 articles from “The Wall Street Journal” and “The New York Times” in the genres of editorial and op-ed about events in Afghanistan in August 2021, which were interpreted differently in mass media due to the role of the White House. The findings prove that in the context of new digital reality the op-ed has lost its original function of conveying alternative positions to the ones stated in the editorial; at the same time newspapers tend to advocate the positions shared by the political parties they have historically developed close relations with: “The Wall Street Journal” - with the Republican Party, “The New York Times” - the Democratic Party.

This study examines non-editorial news coverage in leading US newspapers as a source of ideological differences on climate change. A quantitative content analysis compared how the threat of climate change and efficacy for actions to address it were represented in climate change coverage across The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and USA Today between 2006 and 2011. Results show that The Wall Street Journal was least likely to discuss the impacts of and threat posed by climate change and most likely to include negative efficacy information and use conflict and negative economic framing when discussing actions to address climate change. The inclusion of positive efficacy information was similar across newspapers. Also, across all newspapers, climate impacts and actions to address climate change were more likely to be discussed separately than together in the same article. Implications for public engagement and ideological polarization are discussed.

O presente artigo pretende analisar como as quatro mais importantes publicações econômicas do mundo (The Economist, Financial Times, New York Times e The Wall Street Journal) perceberam a implementação do Plano Real em 1994. O objetivo central do artigo é analisar a percepção anglo-americana sobre o Brasil da época, com foco nas questões políticas e econômicas do país. A análise das publicações aqui realizada compreende os anos de 1993 e 1994, com um olhar detalhado para as eleições presidenciais de 1994. A pesquisa vem a evidenciar os vícios de análise das publicações, bem como os valores anglo-saxônicos influenciam a percepção sobre a América Latina.

Taking the whole European Union (EU) as background, the present study discusses the way a corpus of English language media articles has represented the 2009-2016 crisis and austerity policies in Poland and Portugal, the home countries of the authors. The selected corpus comprises 68 articles from mainstream English language media, namely the newspapers The Financial Times, The Guardian, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the economics magazine The Economist. The theoretical framework draws on the Bakhtinian notions of polyphony and heteroglossia, as well as on Gramsci's theory of hegemony. It thus juxtaposes and interprets the different voices and conflicting meanings within crisis discourses, relating them to issues of power and ideology. The Conclusion shows that despite rhetorical diversity, common politically contingent voices were identified which underpin the discourses dominating the crisis narrations in these two economically and geographically distant countries of the European Union.

Food and gastronomy are significant ingredients of everyday leisure and lifestyle practices. Food is part of culture and culture is part of the media. The current research analyzes the mediatization of food in legacy media. Drawing from a quantitative approach, the paper reviews food-based contents in New York City’s newspapers. In particular, AM New York, El Diario, Metro, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal are studied over a period of 50 days. As a result, a total of 287 articles are analyzed. This research highlights the features of food and gastronomy contents and describes the differences and similarities between traditional newspapers and free dailies. Furthermore, the referent role of The New York Times in communicating food is confirmed.

A content analysis of corrections (N = 507) from four influential newspapers—the New York Times, the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times—shows that they correct errors similar to each other in terms of location, type, impact and objectivity. Results are interpreted through democratic theory and are used to suggest ways for copy editors to most effectively proofread and fact-check.

This study explored the use of quotations in offline (the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal) and online ( Huffington Post and Newsmax) newspapers in terms of verb objectivity and source qualification (transparency and credibility). Individual analyses showed offline papers relatively focused more on verb objectivity, whereas online papers concentrated on source qualification. On analyzing verbs and sources together, the study found better journalistic performance in online papers. While offline papers employed verb objectivity as a sole standard for desirable quotation usage, online papers utilized source qualification and verb objectivity as leverages. More transparent-credible sources outnumbered less transparent-credible sources and objective verbs outnumbered unobjective verbs in online papers, but offline papers only had more objective than unobjective verbs and ignored desirable source use.

El estudio presenta casos de candidatas presidenciales que anteriormente fueron primeras damas: Cristina Fernández (Argentina), Hillary Clinton (Estados Unidos) y Margarita Zavala (México). El objetivo fue registrar, en diarios nacionales (La Nación, Página/12, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Reforma y La Jornada) cuáles fueron los atributos de personalidad, agenda temática y tonalidad presentados en las noticias surgidas durante ambos periodos políticos. Para su estudio, se establecieron de forma deductiva rasgos de personalidad femeninos (empatía, honestidad, celebridad) y masculinos (liderazgo, inteligencia, dureza), así como tópicos de corte suave o femenino (cultura, salud, educación) y duro o masculino (economía, seguridad y corrupción, política exterior). Entre los hallazgos se encontró una masculinización de la personalidad política y agenda temática durante las candidaturas presidenciales, la cual no se registró de manera significativa durante los periodos de Primera Dama. Se detectó que el tono de las noticias era negativo cuando las candidatas fueron presentadas desde una personalidad femenina y tópicos de corte masculino. Entre las conclusiones se señala que las mujeres que se candidatean para puestos presidenciales se ven obligadas a ser más estratégicas en su actuar político para ser vistas por la ciudadanía como capaces de resolver problemáticas que culturalmente no se asocian con la feminidad. Además, se concluye que la prensa las ubicó en una paradoja entre ser cubiertas periodísticamente como mujeres o como políticas, al mismo tiempo elegibles e inelegibles para la presidencia.
