This study assesses whether the ethics guidelines of modern media organizations reflect an adherence to the messages Janet Malcolm sent in her controversial 1990 book, The Journalist and the Murderer, particularly on the meaning of “truth,” on maintaining objectivity, on avoiding conflicts of interest and on journalistic transparency. This assessment finds the policies of The New York Times, the Associated Press and the Society of Professional Journalists reflect that Malcolm’s once-controversial arguments have become central in today’s mainstream journalistic ethical guidelines.

Los avances tecnológicos han posibilitado un especial encuentro entre el periodismo y la inteligencia artificial (IA). Numerosos medios de comunicación –de aquí y de allí– han impulsado sus primeras experiencias en un escenario tan nuevo como novedoso. La incorporación de robots en las redacciones acumula ya una experiencia consistente. Desde la revista Forbes, a través de un sistema que denominan Narrative Science, hasta iniciativas de la agencia de noticias estadounidense Associated Press o los diarios The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Le Monde o, en el escenario español, los proyectos pioneros de El Confidencial y Sport, a los que rápidamente su sumaron iniciativas de un largo listado de medios: El Independiente, El Español, Televisión Española (TVE), la Agencia EFE y la televisión autonómica de Cataluña TV3, entre otros.

As readers of MPPA editorials may know, I often rely on the excellent coverage of medical and scientific news in The New York Times for source material as well as to read “all the news that’s fit to print.” In the course of my daily reading, a nonmedical or scientific news item from the Associated Press on March 24, 2004, piqued my musical interest. Coming from Bonn, Germany, it concerned violinists in the orchestra there who were striking for extra pay, contending they deserved it because they played many more notes than musicians in other sections.

Este artigo objetiva analisar a relação entre o Brasil e a violência retratada pelo website do jornal The New York Times, tendo como contexto os jogos da Rio 2016. Considerando a questão da violência como um estereótipo frequentemente relacionado ao Brasil pelo imaginário estrangeiro. Enquanto metodologia foi adotada a análise de conteúdo com base nos conceitos de Laurence Bardin, que guiaram para a conclusão de que a publicação de Nova Iorque ao invés de trazer novos conceitos que alterassem a genérica visão estrangeira sobre o país reforçou o velho estereótipo de um Brasil violento.Palavras-chave: Brasil. Violência. The New York Times. Rio 2016. Estereótipo

The New York Times “streamlined” its editing process in 2017 and reduced the editing staff by nearly half. Through content analysis on corrections (N = 1,149), this research examines the effects of these cuts. Analysis revealed the Times published more corrections before the changes, but that corrections appeared more quickly after the original error occurred and there were more corrections for content in the A section following the staffing cuts. The A section includes national and international news and thus often contains political content, which is rife for heightened scrutiny in an age of media distrust. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

Media representations have significant power to shape opinions and influence public response to communities or groups around the world. This study investigates media representations of Islam and Muslims in the American media, drawing upon an analysis of reports in the New York Times over a 17-year period (from Jan.1, 2000 to Dec. 31, 2016) within the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis. It examines how Islam and Muslims are represented in media coverage and how discursive power is penetrated step by step through such media representations. Most important, it investigates whether Islam and Muslims have been stigmatized through stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. The findings reveal that the New York Times’ representations of Islam and Muslims are negative and stereotypical: Islam is stereotyped as the unacclimatized outsider and the turmoil maker and Muslims as the negative receiver. The stereotypes contribute to people’s prejudice, such as Islamophobia from the “us” group and fear of the “them” group but do not support a strong conclusion of discrimination.
