This study investigates to what extent audiovisual infotainment features can be found in the narrative structure of television news in three European countries. Content analysis included a sample of 639 news reports aired in the first 3 weeks of September 2013, in six prime-time TV news broadcasts of Ireland, Spain, and the Netherlands. It was found that Spain and Ireland included more technical features of infotainment in television news compared to the Netherlands. Also, the use of infotainment techniques is more often present in commercial, than in public broadcasting. Finally, the findings indicate no clear pattern of the use of infotainment techniques across news topics as coded in this study.

A content analysis of a random sample of Los Angeles television news programs was used to assess racial representations of perpetrators, victims, and officers. A series of comparisons were used to assess whether local news depictions differed from outside indicators of social reality. In a significant departure from prior research, they revealed that perpetration was accurately depicted on local TV news. Blacks, in particular, were accurately depicted as perpetrators, victims, and officers. However, although Latinos were accurately depicted as perpetrators, they continued to be underrepresented as victims and officers. Conversely, Whites remained significantly overrepresented as victims and officers. The implications of these findings are discussed in light of incognizant racism, ethnic blame discourse, structural limitations, and the guard dog perspective of news media.

This chapter looks at content analysis evaluating the ways in which the visual content of television has changed since the inception of television news. By analyzing news programs that have aired continuously since the 1960s, it demonstrates that even within mainstream legacy media such as network news broadcasts, in-your-face politics is increasingly prominent. As an audiovisual medium, a television has effects that the same content would not produce if conveyed purely through audio or print. So regardless of whether politicians are any more rude and unpleasant than they were before, viewers experience incivility in a way that is far more noticeable and influential than it once was. Americans now see and experience political conflict from a perspective that was impossible in the past.

In recent years there has been a slight tendency for television network news programs to increase the amount of soft news presented mostly during the last one-third of the newscast. Content analysis of the Vanderbilt Television News Abstracts from 1972 through 1987 shows that, although all networks did increase the amount of soft news, this type news remained a small part of the newscast. Soft news is defined as stories that focus on a human interest topic, feature or nonpolicy issue.

Transformations to the production routines in telejournalism caused by how news is now being produced was the motivation for our doctoral research. This article is a part of this study analyzes the emergence of a new news-value behind the process of selecting what will or will not be broadcast on television news: the unique flagrant of co-production. This new news-value is connected to co-producers and their more active role in news programs. Co-producers are not cameramen at television stations, news agencies, or press services. They are citizens who capture images which are then used in television news broadcasts. The study was based on participant observation (WOLF, 1997), semi-structured interviews and a content analysis (HERSCOVITZ, 2007) of Rede Globo National News in Brazil. In our understanding, journalists select these images in order to create effects of participation of the represented real.As transformações nas rotinas produtivas do telejornalismo provocadas pela maneira como as notícias estão sendo produzidas motivaram nossa pesquisa de doutorado. Este artigo é parte desse estudo e tem como objetivo analisar o surgimento de um novo valor-notícia no processo de seleção do que será ou não veiculado nos noticiários televisivos: o flagrante único de coprodução. Esse novo valor-notícia está atrelado a atuação mais ativa por parte dos coprodutores nos telejornais. Os coprodutores não são cinegrafistas das emissoras de televisão, nem de agências de notícias, nem de assessorias de imprensa. São cidadãos que captam imagens, que acabam sendo usadas nos telejornais. O estudo foi feito a partir da observação participante (WOLF, 1997), entrevistas semiestruturadas e também da análise de conteúdo (HERSCOVITZ, 2007) do Jornal Nacional da Rede Globo.

This study discussed the politicization of language through euphemisms that conducted at the time of news broadcasts on television stations by noticing the background of the use of the euphemisms. Euphemism in the mass media is not merely aimed at replacing taboo words, but rather is ideological politics. The problem raised in this study was "How was the politicization of language through euphemisms in news programs on television in terms of its use?". The purpose of this study was to describe the form and function of politicizing the meaning of words through euphemisms in news programs contained on television. This research was a descriptive research. Data analysis was performed using content analysis and then explained in accordance with the research findings. Based on the results of the study, the authors found that politicized euphemisms in the TVone news program amounted to 30 euphemisms with several reasons why the euphemisms were chosen and used include: (1) to smooth out words so that other people are not offended, (2) to keep things secret, (3) for diplomacy or berororis, (4) to disguise meaning, (5) to avoid panic and fear, (6) to respect others.

This content analysis of 14 local television news operations in five markets looks at how local TV news shows contribute to the marketplace of ideas. Performance was measured as the allocation of stories to types of coverage that provide the context about events and issues confronting the public. Overall, just under a third of the stories dealt with a government entity, and commentaries accounted for only about 1% of all stories. Small-market stations provided less contextual information than did large-market stations, which in general provided more in-depth coverage.

In two studies we examined the influence of violent television news on viewers’ emotional experiences and facial expressions. In doing so, we considered formal and content aspects of news reports as well as viewers’ gratifications as independent variables. Analyses showed that violence in TV news elicits primarily negative emotions depending on the type of portrayed violence. Effects of presentation mode and of expected gratification on the viewers’ feelings are traceable. On the whole, fear is neither the only nor the most prominent emotion; rather, viewers seem to react to violence with “other-critical” moral emotions, including anger and contempt, reflecting a concern for the integrity of the social order and the disapproval of others. Emotions shown in reaction to the suffering of others, like sadness and fear, occur much more rarely. The results largely show a complex web of relations between media variables, viewers’ characteristics, and emotional processes.

This article focuses on there being a need for tools that can facilitate coding and analysis processes for news reports. The study was based on a set of economic news replete with specific terms, interpretations, expertise and metaphorical description of events. In most cases it can be argued that the content of the texts is complicated, thus “classical” content analysis may require additional iterations and increased attention to the analytical procedure. The study highlights the methodological, analytical features of the semantic network approach (SNA) in comparison with the content analysis and Text Mining approaches based on analyzing six economic news items containing the terms “rising prices” and “inflation”. SNA is distinguished by simplification of large unstructured data processing with emphasis on content. The preparation and calculation of network metrics for each news report leads to the most significant concepts being reflected. That simplifies the content analysis of a larger body of texts. In several cases visualization shows different semantic positions of “inflation” being a synonym for “rising prices” depending on the topic. As an important result, regardless of the volume and visual structure of the news message, these terms can be considered as leading in the corresponding storylines that can help conduct a discourse analysis with their mention. It is assumed that this approach will become a “supporting” tool for further quantitative and qualitative analysis of news reports, particularly on economic topics. The technical features of text preparation and semantic modeling programs can be considered as potential limitations of the approach, especially in the space of Text Mining.
