This article analyses news coverage by CNN and Democracy Now! of the Dakota Access Pipeline protests at Standing Rock, North Dakota. Through an ethnographic content analysis (ECA) of a strongly and weakly market-oriented television news organization, we examine frames, sources used and time devoted to the story, to understand how market orientation may influence the journalistic decisions of television news outlets. We find that although both outlets framed the story primarily through the lens of protest and violence, the ways in which this was done differed significantly.

A growing literature has emerged that is contesting the validity of Africa’s negative Western media representation as a myth and empirically non-existent. This article examines how four national newspapers in Ghana reported the continent. About 13,228 corpus belonging to these top four national newspapers, over a period of 2 years, were quantitatively examined for sources utilised. Based on a 2-week constructed sampling technique, 180 articles reporting Africa were further analysed for the subjects and tone of the coverage, and the dominant themes of representation. The ethnographic content analysis revealed that the coverage of the continent in these newspapers is dominated by themes of war, crime, killings, crises, terrorism and omission of progress. The African story was mostly narrated through the subject of politics and with a predominantly negative tone. I argue that the continent’s negative proxy self-coverage confirms the evasive spread of Afro-pessimism considering that Western global news organisations accounted for over 80 per cent of the reportage as sources.

Digitaliseringen af bogmediet har radikalt forandret ellers stabile strukturer på bogmarkeder verden over. Det gælder også i Danmark, hvor eReolen, folkebibliotekernes portal for e- og lydbøger, siden sin opstart i 2011 har affødt en konstant og til tider ophedet debat mellem det litterære kredsløbs aktø- rer. Debatten har foreløbigt ført til to genforhandlinger af modellen for bibliotekernes udlån af digitalt litteratur, uden det er lykkedes at samle alle parter. Bogens digitalisering har således brudt den modus vivendi, som traditionelt har hersket mellem bibliotek og bogmarked, og 'kampen' om eReolen er også blevet et vigtigt slag i definitionen af rammerne for et nyt digitalt bogmarked - og bibliotekets rolle på dette marked. Denne definitionskamp er emnet for herværende artikel, som med inspiration fra Ethnographic Content Analysis (Altheide & Schneider 2013) undersøger debattens perspektiver og argumenter. Der foretages en kortlægning og analyse af debatten med henblik på at blotlægge de centrale frames der anvendes af debattens aktører og hvordan disse frames definerer folkebibliotekets aktuelle og fremtidige rolle og legitimitet som litterær institution på det digitale bogmarked.
