This chapter discusses public diplomacy, particularly in the context of the digital age. Diplomats now have an increasingly public role to play in projecting their government’s message locally, not just by media appearances and newspaper articles, but by regular use of social media, blogging, Twitter, and evolving techniques. And though technological change has been largely beneficial, the chapter also points to the challenges that technology brings to the field. Diplomats will be part of the debate on our digital rights, tackling the toughest issues around trust and transparency, and helping to find the balance between freedom of expression and the rights of others. Governments will continue to lose their monopoly on information and influence. Secrets will become harder to justify and harder to keep. And in the midst these the role of diplomats is being transformed faster than at any point in history.

The article is devoted to the study of the role of phraseological units in English newspaper headlines. The aim of the work is to study and analyze pragmatic functions of phraseological units in the headlines of modern British and American newspaper articles. The notion of phraseological unit is revealed and its features are defined. The subject of the study is 185 phraseological units belonging to three groups, namely: phraseological units with a component related to the field of colour, music and weather. The research material includes 9,200 headlines of English newspapers, dated 2014-2018 and selected from the Questia Online Library. Using the method of continuous sampling, we selected phraseological units from the dictionaries The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms, Dictionary of English Idioms & Phrases and McGraw-Hill’s Essential American Idioms Dictionary. In addition, the frequency of use of phraseological units of the three groups in the headlines of British and American discourses was studied and analyzed. The study found that the most common of the three groups was the group of phraseological units with a component related to the field of colour. The second most common is the group of phraseological units with a component related to the field of music, and the least numerous is the group of phraseological units with a component related to the field of weather. In addition, it was determined what phraseological units are the most common in English newspaper headlines and which ones are the least common.

Op 13 september 1944 werd de Aalsterse onderwijzer en medeoprichter van de Vlaamsche Kinderzegen Herman De Vos door leden van het verzet neergeschoten. Het was pas wanneer deze verzetsgroep in mei 1945 nog een tweede moord pleegde dat een onderzoek werd geopend. Tijdens het proces dat in 1950 aan het Gentse assisenhof werd gevoerd, werden de daders in de pers voorgesteld als een groep ontspoorde verzetsleden die verbonden waren met de lokale communistische partij. Herman De Vos werd afgebeeld als een willekeurig slachtoffer van het bevrijdingsgeweld. De casus werd later door voormalige collaborateurs gebruikt om het verzet in diskrediet te brengen en de framing van een repressie ‘zonder maat of einde’ kracht bij te zetten. Deze beeldvorming werd dominant in de herinnering aan de bevrijding in Aalst, doordat historici zich op tijdens het proces verschenen krantenartikelen baseerden om de moord te reconstrueren. Onderzoek van de procesdossiers bracht echter nieuwe elementen over de rol van de verschillende verzetsorganisaties en de lokale communistische partij aan het licht. De hoofdverantwoordelijke voor de moord gebruikte communisme als dekmantel om het geweld te rechtvaardigen. Herman De Vos was een toevallig slachtoffer omdat het eigenlijke doelwit, VTB-ondervoorzitter Jozef Van Overstraeten onvindbaar was. De opdracht om hem te vermoorden werd wel degelijk gedekt door het Aalsterse verzet._________ A victim of communist terror?The murder on the teacher Herman De Vos, September 13, 1944 On September 13, 1944, the teacher and co-founder of the ‘Vlaamsche Kinderzegen’ [Flemish Child Blessing], Herman De Vos, was shot in Aalst by members of the resistance. An investigation however would only be initiated after this resistance movement had committed a second murder in May 1945. During the trial – taking place at the court of assize in Ghent in 1950 – the press depicted the culprits as a group of deranged members of the resistance that were associated with the local communist party. Conversely, De Vos was portrayed as an incidental victim of the violence that ensued after the liberation of Belgium, later granting former collaborators a case to discredit the resistance, and enhance their framing of the repression as being ‘without rule or resolution.’ Moreover, this portrayal has become ubiquitous in the memory of the liberation of Aalst as historians have mainly focused on contemporaneous newspaper articles to reconstruct the trial. Analysis of the trial transcripts and documents however sheds a new light on the role of the different resistance movements and local communist party. The main culprit of the murder used communism as a pretext to justify the violence. In addition, De Vos was an unintended victim because they could not locate their actual target, Jozef Van Overstraeten, vice-chairman of the VTB [Flemish Tourist Association]. The order to murder Van Overstraeten had, in fact, been supported by the resistance in Aalst.

This essay analyzes three polemic newspaper articles written in the early 1950s by the art critic, gallerist, and future Turkish prime minister Bülent Ecevit (1925–2006), “Artistic Awakening in Ankara” (1953), “The Artist and Politics” (1954), and “The Burden of the Intellectual” (1956). It argues that Ecevit's articles document a local intelligentsia's efforts to theorize the role of art in Turkish society at a crucial moment of political transformation. As Turkey abandoned its authoritarian past in order to conduct its inaugural experiment with multi-party democracy, Ecevit's columns took up two of the period's most pressing questions: the extent to which the state should control the local art world, and in what ways Turkey's newly enfranchised citizens might enact their individual rights within the realm of culture. The essay also demonstrates the importance of these three articles to Ecevit's subsequent political and intellectual trajectory: they were central to his lifelong efforts to continue the progressive social and political modernization project of the early Turkish Republic, while developing new forums for its critique, reinterpretation, and reinvigoration.

Residents’ support for hosting the Olympic Games is crucial for a bid to succeed in the Olympic host-city selection process. Because of the vital role of the media in framing public perceptions of Olympic bids, the purpose of this study was to examine media coverage of hosting the Olympic Games during the Olympic host-city bid process. A quantitative content analysis was conducted on newspaper articles about Pyeongchang, Korea. Pyeongchang was a candidate city for 3 consecutive bids for the Winter Olympic Games, and it finally won its latest bid to host the 2018 Games. Six hundred Korean newspaper articles were collected for analysis. The results indicated that positive, nationwide discussions of hosting the Olympic Games were presented during the successful bid. Infrastructure legacy was mentioned frequently and dominantly for both successful and unsuccessful bid periods, whereas the presence of sport-development and sociocultural-legacy themes increased in the latest, successful, bid. In addition, extensive coverage related to celebrity endorsement was found during the successful bid.

The present study contributes to the external validity of the framing concept by studying the effects of frames actually utilized in newspaper articles. The study assesses the persuasive influence of such frames on the interpretation of news, and how issue involvement and attitude interfere in this process. A total of 282 participants were presented with one of three experimental versions of a newspaper article about asylum. In the first condition the asylum seekers were implicitly labeled as innocent victims, in the second as intruders. The third version is a mixed condition in which both competing frames were applied. In all three conditions an identical photograph was inserted. The findings indicate that the frame suggests how the photograph can be interpreted. However, no indications were found for a moderating role of the news readers’ issue involvement or attitude.

This article examines the discussions that concern the new Kalevalaic rune singing in Finland, and analyses the way that this phenomenon is described in public channels. The dataset consists of over 100 media texts, such as newspaper articles, TV documentaries and Internet videos and writings. Based on the old mythical, metric, poetical system, folkloristic collections and extensive archives of these poems and songs, the new Kalevalaic rune singing has turned out to be one of the most vital and salient parts of the Finnish contemporary professional folk music field, and therefore it is often present in public discourse. The article aims to analyse how the relation between the past and the present is seen in the dataset and how language is used in this context. The discussions that concern this phenomenon refer to many layers: among other things, they reflect nationalistic ideologies, methodological nationalism and the ways that the role of tradition and heritage in the western neo-liberal world is seen. Furthermore, the creativity of an individual musician, the fields of Finnish

ABSTRACT This article discusses the ambiguities of Brazil regarding the nuclear area during the administrations of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. To do so, the text uses the speeches of important politicians and members of government bodies to analyze the erratic positioning of Brasília in the face of the commitments made with Argentina since the Quadripartite Agreement (1991) and the founding of the Brazilian-Argentine Agency for Accounting and Control of Nuclear Materials (ABACC). Other source categories used are newspaper articles - Brazilian and international - and confidential files leaked by the non-governmental organization WikiLeaks. Finally, it is sought to evaluate the role of ABACC as an instrument to sustain the Argentinian “strategic patience” within the framework of the sensitive nuclear area.

This study examines the role of the press in shaping national identities in contemporary Bangladesh. It employs the critical discourse analysis method to analyze newspapers’ content and closely examines the news texts of three high-profile events in 2013: the Shahbag movement, the murder of blogger Rajib, and the Hefajat movement. Based on the critical discourse analysis of newspaper articles related to these three events, this study observes a discursive construction of two binary and intolerant identities in the coverage. This analysis demonstrates how the discourse of each newspaper creates meanings related to national identities and ideologies that serve to justify the interests of ‘us’ and to criticize ‘them’.

Abstract Why the Netherlands did not witness a revolution in 1848In 1848, a wave of democratic revolutions struck most of Europe, but not the Netherlands. Historians have provided only partial explanations from a range of perspectives, such as socio-economic, socio-political, and institutional. We argue that none of these are fully tenable or satisfactory by comparing the Dutch situation with countries that did experience revolutions in 1848. Also, we add a cultural perspective by studying the role of the Dutch consensus culture. After tracing its roots, we identify its key characteristics and use these as a prism to interpret several governmental sources, brochures, and newspaper articles. On this basis, we argue that it is likely that the consensus culture strongly contributed to the stability of Dutch society during the European revolutionary months of 1848. Without wanting to present this perspective as the definitive explanation, we claim that (political) culture as such deserves more attention in studies to the Netherlands during 1848.
