This paper aims to identify the way Gazeta do Povo has used Facebook as a content distribution platform. After the restructuring of the journal in June 2017, the social network has been shown to be an important channel for the dissemination of the material produced by the communication vehicle. So the research seeks to understand the logic of using the tool, based on the most explored themes, as well as the genre and the coverage of the posts, relating these characteristics to the return in relation to the number of likes, comments and sharing. The research analyzes the destined space to the political questions and those subjects classified as controversial, identifying how they present themselves in the coverage from the journalistic genre. The methodology used is the quantitative content analysis, and the variables were created from Larsson (2016) and Weber (2014), for the categorization of 820 posts carried out during 15 days of coverage through Facebook fanpage. The results indicate that the vehicle chooses to post policy news and that the public tends to comment more on controversial political news.

Every society is flooded by Information in the Internet era. News sites as one of the sources of information are now numerous. However, do these bits of information worth to be trusted fully? Through quantitative content analysis, the researcher tried to examine one of the news sites based on religion (Islamic hardliners), VOA-Islam, in reporting Basuki Tjahaja Purnama a.k.a Ahok, which incidentally is a non-Muslim Chinese descent. Using Jurgen Westerstahl’s objectivity approach (1983), found the fact that the news presented by VOA-Islam does not contain elements of balance, even most of it shows a negative tendency, cornered Ahok as a central figure in DKI Jakarta. In fact, from the dimensions of relevance, the percentage of news from VOA-Islam, which has a significant effect to the activity of community life and proximity to the topic of the public, are quite high. In addition to the large amount of news that contains racial issues, it becomes worrisome because it could lead to the disintegration of the nation.

This paper provides a discussion on the perception of Malaysian media and environmental non-governmental organisations (ENGOs) on the role of images in shaping the public's mind about environmental matters. Two methods were employed for this study. First, a total of 24 participants from the Malaysian media and ENGOs were interviewed. Second, a total of 2,050 environmental articles on media newspapers and ENGOs newsletters from the period of 2012 to 2014 were collected for the quantitative content analysis. The findings from interview confirmed that pictures were labelled by journalists and ENGOs staff as the most important tool in presenting the reality of the environmental problems to the public. This is because, upon seeing the pictures accompanying environmental articles, readers will gain more trust of the environmental information. This was in harmony with the results of the quantitative content analysis, where more than 60% of pictures were found on environmental articles.

A Review of: Preminger, M., Rype, I., Ådland, M.K., Massey, D., & Tallerås, K. (2020). The public library metadata landscape, the case of Norway 2017–2018. Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, 58(2), 127–148. https://doi.org/10.1080/01639374.2020.1711836 Abstract Objective – To understand cataloguing practices in Norwegian public libraries through the analysis of a set of MARC records. Design – Quantitative content analysis. Setting – 2 central cataloguing agencies and 49 public libraries in Norway. Subjects – 21,275 cataloguing agency records and 116,029 public library catalogue records. Methods – The researchers derived a sample set of MARC records from the central cataloguing agencies and public libraries. Matching records from each agency (i.e., records for the same manifestation catalogued separately at each agency) were compared. Then, MARC records exported from public libraries were compared to matching records from the central agencies. Main Results – The two central agencies differed in some cataloguing practices while still adhering to the accepted standards. Public libraries made few changes to records imported from central libraries, and among public libraries, larger libraries were more likely to alter agency-derived MARC records. Conclusion – Current practices indicate that despite the prevalence and efficiency of centralized cataloguing, training in cataloguing remains important in public libraries, particularly in larger libraries.

Nowadays, in the field of social bots investigations, we can observe a new research trend — a shift from a technology-centered to sociology-centered interpretations. It leads to the creation of new perspectives for sociology: now the phenomenon of social bots is not only considered as one of the efficient manipulative technologies but has a wider meaning: new communicative technologies have an informational impact on the social networks space. The objective of this research is to assess the new approaches of the established social bots typologies (based on the fields of their usage, objectives, degree of human behavior imitation), and also consider the ambiguity and controversy of the use of such typologies using the example of botnets operating in the VKontakte social network. A method of botnet identification is based on comprehensive methodology developed by the authors which includes the frequency analysis of published messages, botnet profiling, statistical analysis of content, analysis of botnet structural organization, division of content into semantic units, forming content clusters, content analysis inside the clusters, identification of extremes — maximum number of unique texts published by botnets in a particular cluster for a certain period. The methodology was applied for the botnet space investigation of Russian online social network VKontakte in February and October 2018. The survey has fixed that among 10 of the most active performing botnets, three botnets were identified that demonstrate the ambiguity and controversy of their typologization according to the following criteria: botnet “Defrauded shareholders of LenSpetsStroy” — according to the field of their usage, botnet “Political news in Russian and Ukrainian languages” — according to their objectives, botnet “Ksenia Sobchak” — according to the level of human behavior imitation. The authors identified the prospects for sociological analysis of different types of bots in a situation of growing accessibility and routinization of bot technologies used in social networks. Keywords: social bots, botnets, classification, VKontakte social network

Euthanasia is an important social and quality of life issue. However, it is highly controversial and thus continuously debated especially given its legitimacy and legality differ between countries. Little is known about the role media plays concerning this topic. To fill this gap, this study applies a mixed methods approach to a case study of Israeli media, including a quantitative content analysis of news articles (to measure the discourse of ‘civil participation’), a thematic analysis of news articles (to examine the ‘voice’) and a quantitative content analysis of Facebook comments (to measure ‘being heard’). Results indicate that while the media highly enables the media capability of ‘voice’ (both ‘voicing’ and ‘being heard’), it limits the media capability of ‘civil participation’ to a narrow array of discourse, hindering the social debate. These results reveal the role the media plays regarding euthanasia, integral to individuals’ quality of life through the realisation of their media capabilities, and in relation to the act of euthanasia itself.

PT. A mudança nos modos de acesso aos conteúdos noticiosos nos espaços online leva a alterações na forma como se produz e se publica as notícias e outros materiais informativos. No Facebook é possível identificar essas novas características, especialmente porque é preciso disputar a atenção dos leitores e fazer com que as postagens sirvam de ponte para o acesso aos sites e portais de conteúdo. Com o jornalismo online, os títulos amplificaram seu prestígio como um possível diferencial mercadológico de atração e, mais uma vez, influenciados pela concorrência e pelas possibilidades do suporte, sofreram mudanças. Desse modo, este artigo tem a finalidade de identificar como os veículos brasileiros que migraram de plataformas tradicionais para o espaço digital têm feito uso de distintos elementos na construção das postagens quando se trata de publicações no Facebook. A proposta é entender como se configuram as estratégias narrativas e caça-cliques nos títulos produzidos nessa rede social, considerando para análise o conteúdo disponível na postagem realizada pelas empresas jornalísticas. Selecionou-se o conjunto que configura sua estrutura semântica –– frase, links, texto de apresentação, entre outros recursos encontrados – já que é a chamada total, e não apenas a frase textual do compartilhamento, que serve de isca naquele espaço. Para tanto, são analisados os posts no Facebook dos seguintes jornais: O Globo, Estadão, Gazeta do Povo, Diário Online, Diário de Pernambuco. Os dados foram coletados durante uma semana e totalizaram 1.745 textos, os quais foram analisados a partir do tema, do formato e da estrutura textual. Sobre a abordagem metodológica, a pesquisa fez uso da Análise de Conteúdo quantitativa. Pretende-se com o estudo contribuir para a discussão sobre estratégias de titulação associadas aos novos espaços de circulação de conteúdo e aprofundar o questionamento sobre as particularidades que definem os títulos nas redes sociais.    ***   EN. Changes in the way news content is accessed online leads to changes in the way news and other information are produced and published. These changes are readily identifiable on Facebook, both in response to the stiff competition for readers' attention, and because posts must serve as bridges to websites and content portals. This results in an increase in the importance of online headlines as vectors of attraction, and constant adaptation given the extreme competition and support opportunities. This study sets out to identify how Brazilian media enterprises that migrated from traditional to online platforms have made use of different elements in the construction of Facebook posts. The goal of this paper is to understand how narrative and click baiting strategies are configured into FB headlines and the content available in the posts. The overall configuration of the post's semantic structure is taken into consideration – phrasing, links, presentation text, where among other resources it is found – since it is the total appeal, and not just the textual phrasing, which serves as bait in that space. To this end, the FB posts of the following newspapers are analyzed: O Globo, Estadão, Gazeta do Povo, Diário Online, Diário de Pernambuco. Data were collected over a one week period (1745 texts) and an analysis conducted based on theme, format and textual structure. With respect to research methodology, the study made use of quantitative content analysis. The aim of the paper is to contribute to the discussion of headline strategies associated with new content dissemination platforms and to further analyze the particularities that define headlines on social networks.   ***   FR. Les changements dans la façon d'accéder au contenu des actualités en ligne ont entraîné des changements dans la façon dont les actualités et autres informations sont produites et publiées. Ces changements sont facilement identifiables sur Facebook, à la fois en réponse à la forte concurrence pour attirer l'attention des lecteurs et parce que les messages doivent servir de passerelle vers les sites web et les portails de contenu. Il en résulte une augmentation de l'importance des titres en ligne comme vecteurs d'attraction, et une adaptation constante compte tenu de la concurrence extrême et des possibilités de soutien. Cette étude vise à identifier comment les entreprises médiatiques brésiliennes qui ont migré des plateformes traditionnelles vers les plateformes en ligne ont utilisé différents éléments dans la construction des posts sur Facebook. L'objectif de cet article est de comprendre comment les stratégies de narration et de clickbait sont configurées dans les titres sur Facebook et dans contenu disponible dans les posts. La configuration globale de la structure sémantique du post est prise en considération - formulation, liens, texte de présentation, où entre autres ressources il se trouve - puisque c'est l'attrait total, et pas seulement la formulation textuelle, qui sert d'appât dans cet espace. À cette fin, les posts Facebook des journaux suivants ont été analysés : O Globo, Estadão, Gazeta do Povo, Diário Online, Diário de Pernambuco. Les données ont été collectées sur une semaine (1745 textes) et une analyse a été réalisée sur la base de la thématique, du format et de la structure textuelle. En ce qui concerne la méthodologie de recherche, l'étude a eu recours à une analyse quantitative du contenu. L'objectif est de contribuer à la discussion des stratégies de titres associées aux nouvelles plateformes de diffusion de contenu et d'analyser plus en profondeur les particularités qui définissent les titres sur les réseaux sociaux.   ***
