Abstract The relationship between Japan and South Korea has been particularly tumultuous in recent years. One of the major sources of unrest is the unresolved Dokdo (a.k.a. Takeshima) issue. This study examines the framing of the issue by four international news agencies. It explores whether international news agencies from different countries would frame the issue differently. Results suggest that the news agencies frame the issue differently depending on the agencies’ country of origin.

This article studies the work and working conditions of local non-professional or semi-professional photographers in Aleppo 2016, and the way they manoeuvre in relation to international networks of journalists and editors as well as to Western norms of portraying distant suffering when seeking to reach global audiences. Theoretically, the article draws upon studies of the ethics of distant spectatorship as well as of practitioners’ perspectives on photojournalism in and from conflict zones. The analysis builds on interviews with local photographers, Aleppo Media Centre, non-governmental organization employees, news agency photo editors and international journalists who have worked in Aleppo as well as digital ethnography. We argue that the relationship between Aleppian photographers and international news organisations was characterised by mutual dependency, but that their relationship was concurrently wrought with inequalities and dilemmas as the photographers’ working conditions were characterised by physical, political and economic vulnerability.

When the new country of Kosovo declared its independence in 2008 it received extensive, but fleeting, international news coverage. This study seeks to provide insight into how an international news event was orchestrated by participants and how news coverage was planned and implemented by international media. We do so by investigating factors initiating, enabling, shaping, and limiting the global news coverage of this story. Particular attention is paid to the close relationship between local ‘fixers’ and media representatives, which is instrumental in most international news coverage, but which has received little scholarly examination; and to the influential role of the UK-based international television news agencies.

This article presents a framing analysis of news about Aksi Bela Islam 2 Desember 2016 (Aksi 212) which were reported by two local media: BBC Indonesia and Republika. Aksi 212 refers to a collective movement of Indonesian Muslim society which demands a lawsuit against the incumbent candidate of the 2017 DKI Jakarta governor election, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok. The street demonstration that centered in the capital Jakarta received massive coverage from local and international media, reporting with various news frames. BBC Indonesia and Republika were among the big news houses that covered the event with their own distinctive perspectives. This is the reason that the authors attempt to conduct a framing analysis of the news about the issue reported by the two news organizations. Using Entman’s (1993) framing model, the authors analyzed five news articles from the respective media. The results show that BBC Indonesia which belongs to the international news agency, BBC UK tends to frame the Aksi 212 as a demonstration which has a negative connotation. On the other hand, Republika which is known for its Muslim target audience produces a news frame about the Aksi 212 in a more positive manner. This framing analysis provides a picture on how significant of an event is to be framed in a certain way by news agencies.  Artikel ini mengemukakan analisis pembingkaian (framing) terhadap pemberitaan Aksi Bela Islam 2 Desember 2016 (Aksi 212) yang disiarkan oleh dua media lokal: BBC Indonesia dan Republika. Aksi 212 yang merupakan puncak dari gerakan kolektif masyarakat Muslim Indonesia menuntut calon gubenur petahana Pilkada DKI Jakarta 2017, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama atau Ahok, atas kasus penistaan agama. Aksi turun ke jalan yang berpusat di Ibu Kota Jakarta ini mendapat liputan meluas baik dari media lokal maupun internasional dengan bingkai pemberitaan (framing) yang berbeda-beda. BBC Indonesia dan Republika termasuk media besar yang menumpukan pemberitaan terhadap aksi tersebut dengan sudut pandang yang berbeda. Ini yang melatarbelakangi penulis untuk melakukan analisis pembingkaian terhadap pemberitaan isu berkenaan dalam dua organisasi berita tersebut. Dengan menggunakan model pembingkaian Entman (1993), tim penulis menganalisis lima artikel berita dari masing-masing media. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa BBC Indonesia yang merupakan rangkaian agensi berita internasional milik BBC Inggris cenderung membingkai Aksi 212 sebagai aksi demonstrasi yang mempunyai konotasi negatif. Di lain pihak, Republika yang dikenal sebagai penerbitan berita untuk masyarakat Muslim menghasilkan pembingkai berita tentang Aksi 212 dalam nada yang lebih positif. Hasil analisis pembingkaian ini memberi gambaran bagaimana signifikansi peristiwa tertentu mendorong agensi berita untuk membentuk perspektif tertentu melalui pembingkaian.

This article investigates the relationship between the Ottoman state and the operations of the most powerful international news agencies of its time, Havas and Reuters, within the Ottoman Empire. The two agencies started to operate in Istanbul during the Crimean War and soon became the most influential sources of news both within and outside the Ottoman Empire. The article examines how the Ottoman state, perceiving them as a threat, attempted to resist their dominant role in news-production by collaborating with other different agencies and actors. When this failed, it tried to found a national news agency.
