Resumen: A finales de 2015, más de 65 millones de personas en el mundo se vieron obligadas a dejar sus hogares. Fue el año de los refugiados. También fue el año de la muerte de Aylan. La fotografía de su cuerpo inerte dio la vuelta al mundo y removió la conciencia colectiva de una sociedad inmune al sufrimiento de los demás. Fue un antes y un después en la cobertura mediática del conflicto. El objetivo de esta investigación es estu­diar cuál fue el efecto real de esta fotografía, y para ello analizaremos la cobertura fotográfica que realizó el diario ABC. A través este estudio comprobamos como la fotografía de Aylan consiguió cambiar el discurso del medio, aunque su efecto no perduró en el tiempo. Además de esto, el consumo masivo de imágenes provocó una falsa ilusión de verdad sobre el conflicto, al percibir tan solo una parte del mismo. Por último, comprobamos como la incorrecta utilización de los términos “refugiado” e “inmigrante” afecta negativamente a la imagen que la sociedad percibe de este conflicto humanitario. Un hecho de especial relevancia, teniendo en cuenta el servicio público que desempeñan los periodistas y los criterios éticos a los cuales está sujeto su trabajo.Palabras clave: Crisis de refugiados; Fotografía; Crisis humanitarias; Inmigración; Diario ABC.Abstract: In 2015 more than 65 million people around the world were forced to leave their homes. It was the refugees´s year. Also it was the year of Aylan’s death. The photograhy of his body went around the world and removed the collective consciousness of a society immune to the suffereing of others. It was a decisive change in the media coverage of conflict. The objective of this research is to study what was the effect of this picture. For this reason, we will analyze the coverage through pictures in the ABC newspaper. Through this study we verified how Aylan’s photography managed to change of newspapers discourse, but this effect didn´t last for too long. Apart from this the massive consumption of pictures caused a false illusion about the conflict, when actually citizens perceived only part of the complex conflict. Also, we prove how the incorrect use of the terms “refugee” and “immigrant” affects the negative image that the society perceives of this humanitarian conflict. A fact of special relevance considering the public service of the journalists and their ethical criteria.Keywords: Refugee crisis; Fotography; Humanitarian crisis; Immigration; ABC newspaper.

In addition to having the freedom to spread news to the public, the press also have the freedom to search and process news. In exercising that freedom, journalists always consider that news must be interesting so that people want to read it. The media coverage of sex, including stories on rape, sexual harassment, adultery, cheating, and sordid topics, is a news value that has a high rating for people. Sometimes in the economic interests of the media, journalists violate the norms and ethics of the news. This study is aimed to examine through content analysis the coverage of sex in the Harian Rakyat Aceh newspaper, which from January to April 26 featured 54 articles related to sex. This study examined this coverage in the context of Indonesia’s implementation of the journalistic code of ethics. Indonesian journalists are prohibited from mixing facts and opinions and from reporting sadistic and obscene news. Using the Holsti formula, inter-coder reliability resulted in a CR of 0.99, showing strong reliability. After data collection, coding sheets were analyzed using SPSS software to determine the results of each category. This study found that the news value of the 54 articles in the Harian Rakyat Aceh newspaper is considered to have violated the journalistic code of ethics. Thus, it can be assumed that there is an economic interest in the media’s reporting of sex in that newspaper.

Physicians who participate in the media may perform an important public health service for their communities. Physicians who understand the media (and their influence) may decide to engage and work with the press to inform society on a variety of issues in medicine. Physicians have access to information and knowledge as well as experience, a perspective and a point of view valuable to the public. They have something to say and something to teach the public because they do it every day in their practice, in their profession, and with their patients. Improving their understanding of reporters’ roles, responsibilities, and professional guidelines, along with an overview of the world of medical journalism, may help reduce physicians’ anxiety and potentially help them relate to journalists and interact with the press. Physicians will want to learn important guidelines from the American Medical Association and other organizations regarding their involvement with the media, whether writing a news article or being interviewed on television. This chapter includes the “what, why, how, when, and where” regarding all of the information and advice physicians need before working with or in traditional media.

Media play a significant role in perceiving the world and constructing our conception of reality since the samples of social discourses exposed in the media have a strong influence on the shaping of the image of nations, opinions, attitudes, and hierarchies of values. The present article discusses humorous content in German press, television, and Internet coverage from recent years, which has reinforced a negative image of Poland and Poles in German minds. In the introductory part, the attention is focused on presenting the essence and functions of humor in the light of contemporary humor research, with a special emphasis placed on the interdependencies between humor, language, and discourse on the one hand, and ethnic cultures on the other, which differ in terms of preferred norms and values.

Rankings are widely regarded as particularly well-suited for capturing the public eye, which is considered a reason why they have become so ubiquitous. However, we know surprisingly little about how rankings direct media attention, as well as how media in turn shape and help sustain careers of specific rankings in the public over longer periods of time. To advance our understanding of the discursive dynamics at the intersection of rankings and the press, this study examines the media career of Global Slavery Index by analyzing 361 newspaper and magazine articles, published between the release of index’s inaugural edition in 2013 and until the end of 2019. To interpret the media coverage, the study draws attention to the distinctive properties of the Global Slavery Index, in particular its universality, highly rationalized character, and a pledge to spotlight violation of the global moral order. The longitudinal examination of the media coverage points to the following properties of the index as having shaped and helped sustain its career in the public: (1) repeated publication; (2) broad conceptualization of modern slavery; and the construction thereof as (3) a measurable global burden. These properties further allowed for (a) the construction of countries, organizations, and individuals as morally responsible for the said global burden, as well as for (b) the discursive linking of local and situational concerns with global narratives.

Research on the migratory phenomenon has produced many studies and from various disciplines. However, the knowledge that citizens have of this phenomenon is linked to the discourse by the media. It is not different in the case of refuge and asylum. The contribution of the authors involves questioning to what extent the media are present in shaping the image of migrations. Until now, the image presented is negative, problematic, conflictive, ethnic, and alarming. But this chapter focuses on refugees and, in particular, refugee women. In the same way that research on the migratory phenomenon shows that immigrant women have not been the subject of notable media coverage, it is to be expected that refugee women are not either. For this reason, it is interesting to check the degree of media coverage of the migratory phenomenon in the press (including the mobility of refugees) during the so-called “refugee crisis” in Europe. The chapter focuses on the news that include the refugee woman. For this purpose, the news published in the Spanish newspaper El País are used.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>With the invention of writing around BC 3000 and the invention of the printing in 1450s, developments occurred in culture, art, science and communication fields and the human beings started to communicate and interact with each other. The immigration phenomenon, which can date back as far as the human history also developed and continued to increase with the globalization and the developments in communication tools.  These two important facts developed and increased parallel with each other and they became the most important subjects of the world in recent times. The refugee and asylum-seeker movements form the world agenda nowadays and it continues to be in the agenda due to press and media organisations following the subject closely and creating a public opinion. The growing refugee crisis gained speed and continued to increase especially with the protests and civil wars called “The Arab Spring”, happening in the Arabic peninsula, and became the most emphasized topic by the media and the press agencies of many countries. In this study, six days’ news coverage on the topic of refugees in The Guardian in England and the Hürriyet newspaper in Turkey were analysed and compared. The study will try to explain and focus on the similarities and differences between these news contents, from what perspective the refugee problems are looked at and how they are reported in the news.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>M.Ö 3000’li yıllarda yazının bulunması ve 1450’li yıllarda matbaanın bulunmasıyla kültür, sanat, bilim ve iletişim alanında gelişmeler meydana gelmiş, insanlar birbirleriyle iletişim ve etkileşime geçmeye başlamışlardır. İnsanlık tarihi kadar eski olan göç olgusu da aynı şekilde küreselleşme ve iletişim araçlarına koşut olarak gelişim göstermiştir. Bahse konu olgular, günümüz dünyasında, yüksek önemi haiz yapıdadır. Bu çeçervede, mülteci ve sığınmacı hareketleri, basın yayın kuruluşlarının konuyu yakından takip edip kamuoyu oluşturmalarıyla, dünya gündeminde yer bulmayı sürdürmektedir. Özellikle Arap yarımadasındaki “Arap Baharı” olarak adlandırılan, protesto ve iç savaşlarla hız kazanan ve artarak devam eden mülteci krizi birçok ülkenin basın yayın kuruluşları tarafından önemle üzerinde durulan bir konu haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada İngiltere’deki The Guardian ve Türkiye’deki Hürriyet gazetelerinin mülteci konusu hakkında yapmış oldukları altı günlük haberleri incelenip karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu haberler arasındaki benzerlik ve farklılıklar üzerinde durularak haberlerde mülteci sorunlarına hangi açıdan bakıldığı ve değinildiği, haberlerin içerikleri incelenerek açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır.</p>

Abstract The relations between the United States of America and Pakistan have a significant impact on the world’s politics as well as in shaping the future of the globe. However, the relations between the two countries have been passing through a lot of ups and downs during the last seven decades. Media have a pivotal role in framing and shaping this ‘love and hate’ relationship. The purpose of this study was to investigate the coverage of the United States-Pakistan relations by the American newspapers because the media coverage shapes the public opinion. Two major newspapers of the United States were content analyzed for a period of one year with the help of Lexis and Nexis and the coverage of Pakistan was measured and analyzed qualitatively as well as quantitatively. The results of the study revealed that the American newspapers portrayed a highly negative image of Pakistan and most of the coverage about the bilateral relations was found as negative.

In terms of media relations, judicial authorities are caught in a complex area of activity between the freedom of the press and free media coverage on the one hand and upholding the fundamental rights of the accused and third parties on the other. A further particular and multifaceted constitutional significance can in turn be ascribed to the press, radio, television and the new forms of the media, which derives not only from the fundamental right of the freedom of the press and that of media coverage, as stipulated by Art. 5 I 2 of Germany’s Basic Law, but also from the principle of democracy laid down in Art. 20 I of the same law. The regulatory proposal offered in this study represents a model which is both in keeping with the interests of those involved and practicable, and which in this difficult constitutional context will allow judicial authorities to make an appropriate decision with regard to providing the media and the public with information about ongoing criminal proceedings.
