The article presents an exploratory study of regional media content in Lithuania, carried out using computational content analysis methods. The aim of the study is to reveal the effects of media capture on media content. More specifically, it analyses if and how local government’s control over regional mass media leads to media bias. In addition, the research aims to test the methods of automatic content analysis for the texts in Lithuanian language. The article focuses on two local newspapers known for close relationships with local governments – Druskininkai newspaper “Mano Druskininkai” and Širvintos newspaper “Širvintų kraštas”. For comparative purposes, the local newspapers of four additional municipalities (Utena, Šilutė, Birštonas and Biržai) are added to the analysis. The data revealed two different mechanisms for consolidating political power through the politically controlled media: in one newspaper, the dominant technique is the promotion of the mayor as a person, while in the other it is the attack of political opponents.

Paradiplomacy as a policy and practice of foreign policy by local governments have been carried out by the Indonesian government. But the practice of paradiplomacy shows a gap between local governments, as there are local governments that are so intensive but, on the other hand, some are passive. This article explains the architecture of paradiplomacy in the constitutional dimension through tracking the message structure in a number of regulations with content analysis methods. The advance of content analysis in the constitutional dimension will be able to provide comprehensive analysis on the architecture of Indonesia's paradiplomacy and its implications for achieving national interests. This article finds that Indonesia's paradiplomacy architecture is still very administrative, procedural, and technical, which results in inability to accelerate paradiplomacy by local governments in Indonesia to progressively attain local and national interests.

From modern perspective, pesantren are often regarded as the basis of resistance to modernization that is often associated with the West. This resistance comes from the strong roots of the pesantren as a subculture. This study attempts to elaborate on how the pesantren's view of the West as a part of occidentalism. Using literary sources and content analysis methods, this study has resulted several conclusions. First, in the pre-independence era where the West was represented by the Dutch, The West had a bad image among the pesantrens. The Dutch was viewed as invaders who exploit people and stab them from behind. In addition, with public schools filled with aristocrats, the Netherlands became a competitor to civil education which was rooted in community based pesantren education. On the other hand, from the standpoint of religion, pesantren viewed the West as infidels

AbstractMost of the books on Journalism, Mass Communication and Media Studies discuss and elaborate the areas of process and the effects of mass communication. These books deal with the effects of media content on people and society but it is equally important to understand the influences that shape media content. Media, not only influence target audience, but themselves are influenced by a number of factors. It has been found by research that media content is influenced by the personal attitudes and orientations of media workers, professionalism, corporate policies, ownership patterns, the economic environment, advertisers, audiences, ideology and above all, the governments (Shoemaker & Reese, 2004:4). This study investigates the influence of Government on print media content in Pakistan based on its advertising power and being the largest advertiser of the country.

AbstractA theory of voting under federalism requires that attributions of responsibility moderate the strength of retrospective voting. Scholars have spotty evidence that voters do this but put this down to the effects of institutions and citizens’ capabilities. I show thatpoliticalvariation also affects electoral accountability. Using panel surveys across provincial and federal elections and qualitative media content analysis, I show that voters only live up to a federal theory of voting when governments make policy changes independent of the other level and those changes and their consequences are prominent in political discourse. Federal institutions affect electoral accountability through the politics that they generate.

Power relations are related to the power of individuals, groups, or institutions over individuals, groups, or other institutions. One party in this case tries to dominate the other party. The asymmetrical relationship is illustrated by the conflict between the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and Indonesian Police (Polri) volume II. This was described in the editorial of Suara Merdeka daily newspaper. This paper discusses how the relations involved in the KPK versus Polri conflict volume II were discussed in the editorial of Suara Merdeka. To examine this relationship, qualitative content analysis methods are used. Qualitative content analysis is a method used to understand the message of a discourse. The relation in the KPK versus Polri conflict discourse volume II is described by Suara Merdeka editors by utilizing linguistic aspects in the form of vocabulary and grammar. Utilization of the vocabulary is in the form of the use of euphemisms and prominent formal words. Meanwhile, the use of grammar is in the form of interrogative sentence and per-sonal pronouns we/us. In describing this relation, the editor put the Polri institution in a dominant position, while the KPK institution was marginalized by the President and Polri institutions.Relasi kekuasaan berkaitan dengan kekuasaan individu, kelompok, atau institusi terhadap indivi-du, kelompok, atau institusi lainnya. Salah satu pihak dalam hal ini berusaha mendominasi pihak yang lain. Relasi yang asimetris tersebut tergambar dalam konflik KPK vs Polri jilid II. Hal terse-but dideskripsi dalam wacana “Tajuk Rencana” harian Suara Merdeka. Makalah ini membahas ba-gaimana relasi-relasi yang terjalin dalam konflik KPK vs Polri jilid II yang dibahas dalam “Tajuk Rencana” harian Suara Merdeka. Untuk mengkaji relasi tersebut digunakan metode analisis isi ku-alitatif. Analisis isi kualitatif adalah suatu metode yang digunakan untuk memahami pesan dari suatu wacana. Relasi dalam wacana konflik KPK vs Polri jilid II dideskripsikan oleh redaksi Suara Merdeka dengan memanfaatkan aspek kebahasaan yang berupa kosakata dan gramatika. Pemanfa-atan kosakata tersebut berupa penggunaan eufemisme dan kata-kata formal yang menonjol. Se-mentara itu, pemanfaatan gramatika berupa kalimat interogatif dan pronomina persona kita. Da-lam mendeskripsikan relasi tersebut, redaksi menempatkan institusi Polri pada posisi dominan, sebaliknya institusi KPK pada posisi yang dimarginalkan oleh institusi Presiden dan Polri.

Destination image has been extensively studied in tourism and marketing, but the questions surrounding the discrepancy between the projected (perceptions from the National Tourism Organizations) and perceived destination image (perceptions from tourists) as well as how the discrepancy may influence sustainable experience remain unclear. Poor understanding of the discrepancy may cause tourist confusion and misuse of resources. The aim of this study is to empirically investigate if the perceived (by tourists) and projected (by NTOs) destination image are significantly different in both cognitive and affective aspects. Through a comprehensive social media content analysis of the NTO-generated and tourist-generated-contents (TGC), the current study identifies numerous gaps between the projected and perceived destination image, which offers some important theoretical and practical implications on destination management and marketing.
