The present paper aims to analyze journalistic texts, that were published in the German GDR-newspaper Neues Deutschland on Labour Day 1st May 1949. The texts serve the political authority as an instrument of legitimation of its own ideology and as an instrument to control and influence the crowd of people. The enhancement of socialist worldview and the denigration of others thinking are processed and conveyed by means of language; the media content and the language use are ordered and controlled by the political authority.

The article examines the Russian media discourse around the authorities’ significant legislative initiatives of the last two years concerning the media. In the context of law enforcement practice, the author of the article draws attention to the problems of censoring the new communication space created by social networks, instant messengers and algorithmic digital media platforms. These problems often include the lack of a clear delineation of concepts, for example, such as “insulting the authorities” and “fair criticism”, the level of forensic expertise and the “human factor” of Roskomnadzor. The article expresses the idea that the increasing number of laws related to media content is associated with the speed of digital communication transformations, which exceeds the authorities’ adaptive capabilities. In parallel with tightening legislation in the direction of control over online media platforms, the author also notes that the government appeals to digital platforms users as allies in the fight for content purity. Summing up the data of discourse analysis, media content analysis, as well as my own experience of participating in court proceedings as an expert linguist, the author concluded that the political effects of the adoption of laws on the media might not be related to the political objectives of the authorities, since they contrast with the values of a particular part of society.

Summary: The body of evidence suggests that there is a causal association between nonfictional media reporting of suicide (in newspapers, on television, and in books) and actual suicide, and that there may be one between fictional media portrayal (in film and television, in music, and in plays) and actual suicide. This finding has been explained by social learning theory. The majority of studies upon which this finding is based fall into the media “effects tradition,” which has been criticized for its positivist-like approach that fails to take into account of media content or the capacity of audiences to make meaning out of messages. A cultural studies approach that relies on discourse and frame analyses to explore meanings, and that qualitatively examines the multiple meanings that audiences give to media messages, could complement the effects tradition. Together, these approaches have the potential to clarify the notion of what constitutes responsible reporting of suicide, and to broaden the framework for evaluating media performance.

Bossa Mundo chronicles how Brazilian music has been central to Brazil’s national brand in the United States and the United Kingdom since the late 1950s. Scholarly texts on Brazilian popular music generally focus on questions of music and national identity, and when they discuss the music’s international popularity, they keep the artists, recordings, and live performances as the focus, ignoring the process of transnational mediation. This book fills a major gap in Brazilian music studies by analyzing the consequences of moments when Brazilian music was popular in Anglophone markets, with a focus on the media industries. With subject matter as varied as jazz, film music, dance fads, DJ/remix culture, and new models of musical distribution, the book demonstrates how the mediation of Brazilian music in an increasingly crowded transnational marketplace has had lasting consequences for the creative output celebrated by Brazil as part of its national brand. Through a discussion of the political meaning of mass-mediated music in chronologically organized chapters, the book shifts the scholarly focus on the music’s transnational popularity from the scholarly framework of representing Otherness to broader considerations of a media environment where listeners and intermediaries often have differing priorities. The book provides a new model for studying music from culturally rich countries in the Global South where local governments often leverage stereotypes in their national branding project.

This chapter examines the effect of TV debates on political knowledge conditioned by the media context. We argue that TV debates take place in a wider media context and the extent of citizens’ learning processes about issue positions depends also on the informational context in general. We test four hypotheses: while the first three hypotheses concern the conditional impact of media issue coverage and debate content, the last hypothesis addresses the differences between incumbent and challenger. Using media content analyses and panel survey data, our results confirm the hypotheses that (1) when an issue is addressed in a TV debate, viewers tend to develop a perception of the parties’ positions on this issue, but (2) only if this issue has not been addressed extensively in the media beforehand. This learning effect about parties’ positions is bigger for the opposition party.
