Abstract: We examined the coverage of ethnic Chinese in The Toronto Star and the Vancouver Sun from 1970 to 1990. Coverage and the diversity of stories grew dramatically. However, the largely positive slant of most 1970 stories was later balanced by neutral and negative coverage. The reportage slant changed partly because cultural stories were augmented by crime and (increasingly negative) immigration stories. The decline of "stereotypically positive'' stories may also mark the increasing integration of the Chinese community and their coverage into the mainstream. Résumé: Nous avons éxaminé les reportages sur les chinois dans le Toronto Star et le Vancouver Sun de 1970 à 1990. Les reportages et la diversité des nouvelles ont beaucoup augmenté. Par contre, le biais plutôt positif des histoires des années 70 a par la suite cédé place à des reportages neutres ou négatifs. Ce changement s'explique par le nombre croissant d'histoires ayant trait à des crimes ou à des situations d'immigration (de plus en plus négatives). Le déclin d'histoires positives stéréotypées marque aussi le début de l'intégration croissante de la communauté chinoise.

The public image of psychiatry has been tarnished in recent years. In order to determine the extent to which press coverage has contributed to negative attitudes towards psychiatry, we conducted a content analysis of a random selection of newspaper articles which appeared over a twenty-year period in two different newspapers. We found that although there had been some minor, cosmetic changes over the years, such as more appropriate headlines and more direct quotes from psychiatric experts, on the whole, content and attitudes had changed very little. An accuracy check of media reporting of forensic cases over a 20-year period revealed that when reporters have access to written material, the accuracy levels are greatly improved.

This paper presents preliminary findings from a wider study into the form that political debate takes in Scottish and English/UK newspapers’ reporting of the 2001 and the 2005 UK Elections. The research project aims to contribute to the discussion regarding the role played by the Scottish press in political deliberation after devolution and compares its contribution to the electoral debate with that of newspapers bought in England. This paper explores the results of a content analysis of articles from daily Scottish and UK newspapers during the four weeks of each election campaign period. This reveals that, despite some differences, the overall picture of the coverage of major election issues is consistent. A selection of the coverage of taxation, the most mentioned reserved issue in the 2001 campaign, is subsequently analysed using critical discourse analysis, and the results suggest more distinction between the two sets of newspapers.

Evaluative Terms

A content analysis was conducted of all UK local daily newspaper articles appearing in the first half of 1981, concerned with nuclear power or renewable alternatives. Evaluative coverage of these technologies was compared on dimensions found to characterise energy issues (economic, environmental, technological, future/political, physical and psychological risks). In addition, comparisons were drawn between coverage in areas ‘threatened’ with the potential siting of a new nuclear power station and that in ‘unaffected’ areas. The development stage of the two technologies and the degree of ‘factual’ as opposed to ‘polemical’ coverage they attracted were also recorded. In evaluative terms, nuclear power was evaluated overwhelmingly negatively, and alternatives positively. Moreover, this pattern showed a degree of consistency irrespective of the dimension of evaluation. The ‘threatened’ subsample was most negatively disposed towards nuclear power. Polemical coverage was greater for nuclear power than for alternatives and greatest in the ‘threatened’ sample. This category also contained articles more likely to attract attention because of their greater headline size and length. Whereas most coverage of nuclear power concentrates on preoperational or operational stages, coverage of alternatives is more concerned with its formative and planning stages. These findings were related to people's attitudes concerning nuclear power, and the growth in antinuclear feeling in particular.

In 2014, French and Belgian Facebook members witnessed the flourishing of numerous Facebook groups dedicated to their town or village that shared the same rallying cry, “You’re a real … if …” This trend spread like wildfire, to the extent that more than 160 towns/villages now have an active page on the social network. Seniors are among the most active members of these groups. In this context, the general objective of our study consisted of identifying the mechanisms through which these pages participate in building a real geo-cultural community in which the oldest Facebook members play a central role. To do so, we performed a content analysis of the 842 posts and 5,314 comments written between December 5, 2014 and January 5, 2015 in the groups representing the cities of Hannut and Jodoigne (Belgium) as well as Fourmies and Harnes (France). Our study concerns the topics of the posts, the types of actions performed by the members and the interactions among them. Our research shows that such groups create intergenerational “affinity spaces,” which debunks common misconceptions about how seniors approach the digital world.Apparus en 2014, les groupes Facebook intitulés « T’es un vrai … si … », qui rassemblent les « vrais » habitants d’une ville, se sont développés comme une traînée de poudre. Aujourd’hui, plus de 160 groupes de ce type existent sur le réseau social. Les seniors font partie des membres les plus actifs de ces groupes. Dès lors, afin d’identifier dans quelle mesure de tels groupes créent une dynamique intergénérationnelle, nous avons procédé à une analyse de contenu des 842 billets et 5 314 commentaires rédigés entre le 5 décembre 2014 et le 5 janvier 2015 au sein des groupes dédiés aux villes de Hannut et Jodoigne (Belgique) ainsi que Fourmies et Harnes (France). Notre analyse porte sur les types de sujets traités, sur les types d’actions réalisées et sur les modes d’interaction. Il en ressort que ces groupes construisent des « espaces d’affinités » intergénérationnels, qui viennent tordre le cou aux représentations souvent négatives du rapport entre le numérique et la « personne âgée ».

Jeremy Corbyn

This research critically assesses the press coverage of Jeremy Corbyn during his leadership bid and subsequent first months as the leader of the United Kingdom’s Labour Party. A content analysis ( n = 812) found that the British press offered a distorted and overly antagonistic view of the long-serving MP. Corbyn is often denied a voice and news organisations tended to prize anti-Corbyn sources over favourable ones. Much of the coverage is decidedly scornful and ridicules the leader of the opposition. This analysis also tests a set of normative conceptions of the media in a democracy. In view of this, our research contends that the British press acted more as an attackdog than a watchdog when it comes to the reporting of Corbyn. We conclude that the transgression from traditional monitorial practices to snarling attacks is unhealthy for democracy, and it furthermore raises serious ethical questions for UK journalism and its role in society.

The Olympic Games

During the last Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the Polish female representatives won sig-nificantly more medals compared to men. This fact made the authors examine whether female athletes received proportionate media coverage compared to men. In the course ofresearch, articles from the two largest Polish dailies were analysed (“Gazeta Wyborcza” and “Fakt Gazeta Codzienna”). With the use of content analysis, 197 articles were analysed in order to check whether any quantitative and qualitative differences can be observed in describing women's and men's sport. The results show underrepresentation of press coverage regarding women's sport. The results of qualitative analysis also point to a number of differences when portraying women's and men's sport.
