A survey of Ohio daily newspaper department heads shows that interdepartmental differences about cooperation exist. Managers do positively distinguish their departments from others while agreeing on the role of goals in interdepartmental troubles. And how much cooperation a manager believes is needed - as well as the perception of which departments are or are not cooperative-depends on, to some degree, what department that manager manages. Still, departmental affiliation plays a negligible role in determining existing levels of cooperation. News managers generally named advertising as the most difficult department, while advertising said the same about news. Circulation was named most cooperative department.

In six daily newspaper markets, local papers fared better on image attributes than did newspapers in general examined in a 1985 national ASNE study. Even so, since thousands of potential readers disapprove of the product, newspapers should work harder to understand what their publics want.

Considering the role played by Rashtria Sahara, an Urdu daily newspaper that took recourse to the democratic practice of questioning and challenging the hegemonic formation of the maligned image of Islam and the faith community vis-à-vis terrorism in the discursive arena, that is, the public sphere, this article tries to understand the role of the Urdu language media in shaping the public opinion and mobilising people from within the community. To this end, first, the article seeks to comprehend the present configuration of the Indian public sphere keeping in view its colonial origin. Moreover, the ‘othering’ of Muslims in postcolonial India that has colonial roots, too, has been understood through the idea of ‘interior frontiers’. Second, the role and practices of the Indian state towards Muslims have been taken into account. And, the final section analyses strategies that were put to use by the newspaper to contest the hegemonic formation, which paved the way for social movement to emerge.

This study investigates advertising for romantic partners in the daily newspaper. A telephone survey of U.S. daily newspapers shows that mate finding is becoming a matter of mediated information, suggesting a new function for the media.

The French - local daily newspaper in Indochina appeared with the development of commerce and the presence of colonial capitalists (industrialists, miners, intellectuals, civil servants and traders) in the mid-1880s. French daily newspapers not only reflected the change of localities, but also played a role in promoting development through a focus on defending political views, providing economic information. Le Courrier d'Haiphong is a case of a local daily newspaper that balances factors such as operational objectives, publishing conditions, and is a “witness” of Hai Phong's urbanization process and plays a role as “participant factor” accelerating the modernization of one of the trade-industrial centers in the North of Vietnam during the colonial period. Out of the local sphere, Le Courrier d'Haiphong existed as a forum of French capitalists in Tonkin. As one of the very few newspapers that had not been suspended during its lifetime, Le Courrier d'Haiphong newspaper provided a way to publish newspapers in the early stages of journalism in Vietnam. At the same time, it is also a valuable resource for research on economic history, urban history, or cultural exchange and acculturation activities in the late nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century.

This study focuses on Seved, a segregated and socioeconomically “poor” neighborhood in the city of Malmö in Sweden. It has attracted wide media coverage, a possible consequence of which is its increased stigmatization. The wide disparity between perceived or imagined fear and the actual incidence of, or exposure to, violence attests to the important role of the media in shaping mental maps and place images. Critical discourse analysis of daily newspaper articles shows that Seved is predominantly construed as unruly and a place of lawlessness. Mobility comprises an important aspect of the stigmatization of places, the politics of fear, and discourses of the “other.” In turn, place stigmatization, discourses of the other, and the politics of fear directly and indirectly affect mobility strategies of individuals and groups.

The aim of the study is to examine the role of feedback and intrinsic motivation on research assistants' psychological and emotional well-being. First, an Effective Feedback Scale adapted to sampling was developed through expert opinions, focus group interviews and piloting. Afterwards, a field survey was conducted, and two separate models were tested on the data of 278 research assistants to examine the effect of the feedback received from academic advisors (feedback of academic advisor, FAA) and department heads (feedback of department heads, FDH) with the structural equation modeling approach. It was found that the FDH is more effective than the FAA on the emotional well-being of research assistants in the workplace. The FAA has a greater impact on the psychological well-being and intrinsic motivation of research assistants than the FDH. The effect of feedback received from both groups was significant on intrinsic motivation, which increased both psychological and emotional well-being significantly. In addition, the feedback characteristics that had a positive effect on well-being were identified as allowing dialogue in giving feedback, giving it for development and assistance, its being objective and positive, and including a solution proposal.
