Mass Media and Conflicts: Media-Geographical Studies

This article presents the results of media geographical studies of publications of American and European mass media covering conflicts and crises of different levels and scales (global, international, regional, and local). Through the prism of media-geographical views on the processes of media reality formation, the author examined mass media approaches of different countries on the topic of coverage. The research methodology included media metric analysis, rank analysis (rank distributions of the popularity of semantic categories for Internet audiences around the world), quantitative and qualitative content analysis of media texts and analysis of publications according to the criteria of the theory of peaceful journalism. The results of the rank analysis illustrated the possibilities of using this method to study the mental landscapes of different countries and regions. Special attention was paid to the interpretation of meanings and their transformation in space and time, as well as to the spatial analysis of big data (based on Google Trends statistics) with an emphasis on the dynamics of changes in media behavior and media consumption of Internet audiences in different time periods. The empirical basis for content analysis was made up of publications of online versions of 10 American and European mass media in English, German and French of 2020. The main result of the study: the majority of media texts — about 80 % — do not contribute to the search for ways of peaceful settlement of conflicts (they abound in emotionally colored vocabulary, negative markers, categorical assessments, journalists do not make attempts to deeply analyze the situation, synthesize different positions and search for creative non-violent ways to resolve contradictions). Mass media publications often become a source of increasing tension in society, the parties of conflicts are represented as antagonists in media texts, journalists fail to establish a connection between them and bridge the gap between their interests. The results of a comparative analysis of media texts according to the criteria of the theory of peaceful journalism allowed us to classify the main approaches for the mass media conflicts covering and develop a number of proposals and recommendations to use in journalistic practice.

The subject of this article are the linguistic means used to form the image-concept “Russia”. Corpus content analysis on the wide range material of the British print and electronic press for 2017-2019 is the base for constructing the nominative field with the core and near, far and final peripheries of image ”Russia”. The conceptual analysis revealed verbal means used for expansion of the concept volume and its component layers- metaphorical, nominative, evaluative and associative. These devices create the negative image-concept of state Russia in British public consciousness.

The Way

While corporations regularly use trademarked logos and slogans, the use of colour trademarks to solidify and separate a brand from its marketplace is a recent development. This MRP explores legal conceptualizations of the communicative functions of colour in the judicial opinions of three influential colour trademark lawsuits: Norwich Pharmacal Company v. Sterling Drug, Inc. (1959), Qualitex Co. v. Jacobson Products Co. (1995), and Christian Louboutin S.A. v. Yves Saint Laurent Am. Holding, Inc. (2012). The following questions guide my analysis of the court decisions: How do judges determine the communicative value of colour in single-colour trademark cases? How do the different levels of meaning present in colour, as described by Gunther Kress and Theo van Leeuwen (2002), affect the way judges assess the communicative value of colours in single-colour trademark cases? Which levels of meaning in colour, as described by Kress and van Leeuwen (2002), are most important in judges’ assessments of single-colour trademark claims? The communicative value of colour, for the purposes of this research project proposal, is defined as colour acting in one or more of the three functions defined by Kress and van Leeuwen (2002). Through qualitative content analysis of three legal documents involving single-colour trademarks, this MRP seeks to explore the challenges of claiming and maintaining legal ownership of a colour. This paper suggests that courts play a major role in developing single-colour trademarks as communicative and organizational branding tools.

Different Levels

The present paper aims to explore how students of Italian secondary schools approach linguistic tasks and what sort of knowledge about language emerges from their analyses. These questions arise from the observation of the results of the Invalsi tests. In order to examine how students construct their answers to a sample of language awareness questions, they were asked to explain how to answer them by making a tutorial video. The videos were discussed during a semi-structured interview. The data were transcribed and analysed by means of Qualitative Content Analysis. The results indicate that the principal difference between students relates to the stability of their “engagement with language” and their ability to switch their attention between different levels of linguistic analysis.

Regional Newspapers

One of the most prominent, standardized and popular makers of identity nowadays are the means of mass media. In Latgale region, the dominant mass media type is press: local towns’ and regions’ newspapers, which are easily available and also widely demanded and stable tool of socialization. They own the central role as a source of information, as well as the arena of public discourse and the intermediary for culture and identity.The aim of the article is to determine how the regional newspapers use their influence in the formation of Latgalian Latvian’s identity, what are the types of representation, which express the belonging to Latgale area, inhabitants and values.Using the quantitative content analysis, the frequency of publications and subject categories in the local press (in the period 2008–2010) were determined, in which Latgalian Latvian, Latgalian, Latgalians etc., were mentioned as a participants, as well as some other expressions of belonging. With the qualitative content analysis, the tendencies of building the identification process were determined – the ideas expressed in publications, symbols, themes and attitudes, the characteristics of characters, reflecting the values that are given an important role in the process of Latgalian Latvian’s identity formation in the regional newspapers.Each newspaper relies on its values and events in identity representation. Newspapers „Latgales Laiks” focuses on the activities of Latgale inhabitants in different fields, devoting pages for coverage of sport events and interviews with athletes; important is reflection of Latgalian success in the world. Therefore, in this newspaper, there isa regional identity-building features, coming closer to the work of style of the national newspapers.„Vietējā Latgales Avīze” as a author and interpreters of actual problems choose opinion of representatives of government, education, culture etc. Therefore the newspaper construct Latgalian identity reflecting the success of Latgalians, especially students and young people who are positioned as the talented people of Latgale. It is opposite to newspaper „Rēzeknes Vēstis” strategy – to make Latgalian identity through Catholic values, maintaining thematic pages in Latgalian and reader‘s creative activity. In newspaper „Rēzeknes Vēstis” the reader‘s participation is essentialin positioning identity. It often takes the form as the conflict between past and present, like the historical and political view update inregional and national level.It may be concluded that mainly Latgalian Latvian’s identity is positioned through the reflection of social relations: the mutual relations and the material results, thus mentioning family, work and creative growth as the main values. The most strongly the importance of Latgalian’s identity is revieled and highlighted in the reflection of their life-stories, emotional affection to patrimonial values, birthplace, reflecting past events, and which is defined as the basis for further development of Latgale.
