The current study examines the framing of China in the opinion section of two elite newspapers, The New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Although there is an expectation that editorials and op-eds present multiple frames and opinions, the results of a content analysis show that China is not framed differently between these two newspapers. Both papers largely emphasized the same issues and issue frames.

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 assessed the media visibility, a composite measure of attention and prominence, of China’s President Xi Jinping’s first 3-year governance in The New York Times. The assessment was based on the content analysis of 317 news articles focusing on Chinese President. Qualitative content analysis was used to identify three major frames, 12 mid-level frames, and 18 sub-frames. Quantitative content analysis was used to measure the attention, prominence, and the combination of these two parameters of these frames. The findings showed that The New York Times employed multiple frames to report Chinese President, and the two frames with the highest media visibility are (Domestic) Campaigns and Strategies and China-United States (relations), rather than Human Rights.

This chapter provides a case study and content analysis of how mainstream business journalism failed to report on the Keating Five meeting, a significant event that foreshadowed the failure Lincoln Savings and Loan. National Thrift News coverage is compared to that of the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, American Banker, and the Associated Press. The study finds how National Thrift News was first to report on the Keating Five meeting even though the story was available to other news organizations. News coverage following the collapse of Lincoln Savings shows a pack journalism mindset.

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.
