ABSTRACT Our content analysis conducted in 2007 revealed little evidence of convergence practices in television networks and newspapers owned by Canwest Global, CTVglobemedia, and Quebecor. In 2009 and early 2010, we interviewed executives and journalists of the media groups studied, as well as other stakeholders, to assess the current situation and speculate about the future of convergence in Canada. Respondents generally acknowledged that TV/print newsroom integration had not succeeded and that future convergence efforts would focus on delivering content online and developing a viable economic model for news production. Respondents offered diverse perceptions of conventional media’s ability to reinvent and sustain themselves as the principal news sources for Canadians. Emerging models include the development of a corporate news service, specialization in certain topic areas, and crossmedia collaboration.RÉSUMÉ Notre analyse de contenu réalisée en 2007 n’a révélé aucune preuve substantielle de convergence entre les nouvelles télévisées et les journaux appartenant aux groupes Canwest Global, CTVglobemedia et Quebecor. Nous avons réalisé une série d’entretiens auprès de gestionnaires et journalistes des médias étudiés, de même que d’autres acteurs du milieu, en 2009 et 2010, afin de recueillir leur évaluation de la situation actuelle et leur vision de l’avenir de la convergence médiatique. De l’avis général des participants, l’intégration des nouvelles télévisuelles et de la presse écrite ne s’était pas réalisée et les initiatives futures s’orienteront surtout vers l’offre en ligne et la rentabilisation des contenus d’information. Ils ont émis des points de vue variés quant à la capacité des médias conventionnels de se réinventer et se maintenir en tant que sources principales d’information pour les Canadiens. Parmi les modèles émergents identifiés : le développement d’agences de presse corporatives, la spécialisation thématique et la collaboration entre médias.

Do So

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 ».

Source Use

This quantitative content analysis examines source use for an eleven-week period in a “news disaster” story. The frequency of similar stories, which explain to readers, viewers, and listeners how the media do their work, has grown in the past forty years, and media observers are unsure what the change means. In this study, source affiliations and themes are evaluated in a census of stories about errors made by the media in reporting election night returns for the 2000 presidential race. News workers and other media-affiliated sources initially dominated the stories. They commonly explained how the reporting errors occurred or related factual information about the coverage. These sources and themes effectively blocked other affiliated and unaffiliated sources from evaluating the media's performance until later.

ABSTRACT  This study reports on the Canadian data from a recent international content analysis of broadcast news in 18 countries. With a mind to Robert A. Hackett’s longitudinal analysis of foreign news on CBC and CTV in 1989, the current study addresses questions of foreign news prominence, geographic distribution, topic coverage, and variation between networks, noting differences and similarities in the content of foreign news in light of shifting cultural, political, and economic environments; news production processes; and communication technologies. This analysis provides an update to Hackett’s seminal work, painting a picture of the Canadian foreign news landscape two decades later.RÉSUMÉ  Cette étude porte sur les données canadiennes provenant d’une analyse de contenu de nouvelles télévisées dans dix-huit pays. En s’inspirant de l’analyse longitudinale effectuée par Robert A. Hackett des informations étrangères de CBC et CTV en 1989, l’étude actuelle porte sur la place accordée de nos jours aux informations étrangères, leurs provenances géographiques, les sujets abordés et les variations entre les chaînes de diffusion, observant les différences et ressemblances du contenu des informations étrangères dans un contexte de changements culturels, politiques et économiques; elle porte aussi sur les processus de production de l’information et les technologies de la communication. Cette analyse offre une mise à jour de l’oeuvre importante de Hackett, donnant deux décennies plus tard une nouvelle image des informations étrangères au Canada.

On Friday, 30 January 2015, Steven Blaney, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, introduced Bill C-51, also known as the Anti-Terrorism Act in Canada’s House of Commons. This article delineates research into the media coverage of Bill C-51 in the month after its introduction, prior to its legislation. A qualitative content analysis of 23 articles from five Canadian news sources ( National Post, The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, The Tyee, and rabble.ca) was conducted. Data were coded and analysed using the qualitative research software NVivo 10. Themes that arose from the data include: terrorism and our need for protection; production and reinforcement of fear; oversight, accountability, and abuses of power; and dystopic future and ‘big’ government. Findings show that the differences between alternative and commercial news sources were not as evident as much of the literature regarding the differences between the types of media would hypothesize.

Social media are increasingly integrated into media routines as channels to gain access, verify and spread information. Likewise, as mobile news consumption is standardized, the media experiment with native formats for these platforms. This study analyzes how the media use Instagram Stories, to identify the strategies that they apply, as well as the adaptation and innovation features on this platform. A content analysis was conducted from a sample of 17 online media that use Instagram Stories, both legacy and digital native. The results show an upward potential in ephemeral news production, one that is increasingly developed and unique.

Over the last decade social networks have become important channels for the media to publish information and communicate with their younger audi­ences, with Instagram recently becom­ing the most popular platform for this purpose. This article is an investigation into news production on this social net­work in the context of the international crisis generated by the COVID-19 pan­demic, by means of a content analysis of 552 posts published by the two most widely read Spanish newspapers. The results suggest that despite there being a large quantity of soft content and hu­man-interest stories, as found in previ­ous research, Instagram is also used as a platform to distribute information of public interest about the management of the crisis (such as political decisions and health content). Keywords: social networks, Instagram, journalism, COVID-19, agenda.

This work focuses on structural-systemic factors that have been determining Indonesian commercial news TV Channels' political news production and publication in the Post-Soeharto Regime. A critical political economy perspective of the media and the media behaviours, performance, and content production models were adopted. Articles published in qualified journals, theses and reports released by Indonesian mainstream media related with such issue and in-depth interview derived from five senior editors/journalists of Indonesian commercial news TV channels and interview data collected from Indonesian journalists through online survey were extracted using the qualitative content and thematic analyses. The findings indicate that the following factors systematically determined political news production and publications organized by such private news TV channels. These factors include cartelised political system, party cartelisation, oligarchic media ownership, Pancasila (the Five Principles) as a unitary Indonesian state and government ideology, types and personal characters of the news sources, and religious violence groups.

Abstract: A content analysis of U.S. and Canadian news magazines was conducted to determine the incidence of revenge words and phrases following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, New York; whether revenge was associated with justifications of evil and/or photographic reinforcements; and whether these contents differed between the two countries. Issues from September 17, 2001, to January 14, 2002, of the major news magazines from the two countries were examined; 698 articles were identified as relating to September 11. The Canadian magazine Maclean’s presented significantly more revenge words and phrases than either of the two other magazines. In contrast, the solely U.S. magazine, Newsweek, presented evil justifications significantly more than the magazines containing Canadian content, Maclean’s and the Canadian edition of Time. The results were presented in the context of exposure to magazines being a source of learning of revenge motives, attitudes, and behaviours. Résumé : Nous avons fait une analyse de contenu de magazines d’actualité américains et canadiens afin d’évaluer : combien ces magazines renfermaient de phrases et de mots vengeurs à la suite de l’attaque terroriste des Tours jumelles à New York le 11 septembre 2001; si ces propos vengeurs s’associaient à des justifications du mal et/ou des renforcements photographiques; et s’il y avait des différences de contenu entre les deux pays. Nous avons examiné les numéros du 17 septembre 2001 au 14 janvier 2002 des trois principaux magazines d’actualité des deux pays et nous avons identifié 698 articles se rapportant au 11 septembre. Le magazine canadien Maclean’s comprenait beaucoup plus de phrases et de mots vengeurs que les deux autres magazines. En revanche, Newsweek, le seul magazine entièrement américain des trois, comprenait beaucoup plus de justifications du mal que les magazines à contenu canadien, c’est-à-dire Maclean’s et la version canadienne de Time. L’idée sous-tendant nos résultats est que la lecture de tels magazines peut encourager l’apprentissage de motivations, d’attitudes et de comportements vengeurs.

<p><em>Aim of study. </em>The aim of this paper is to analyze how the news media influences the construction of the social perception of forests and forestry.</p><p><em>Area of study</em>. The area covered by this study is Spain.</p><p><em>Material and Methods</em>. The materials used for the analysis were the online news related to items such as forest, bioenergy and biodiversity, in two leading newspapers in Spain from 2009 to 2012. The hypotheses tested were divided into two sets, one focused on the messages and another focused on the sources on these messages. Summative content analysis was applied, combining both quantitative and qualitative data analysis. The messages and sources were systematically explored and monitored.</p><p><em>Main results</em>: As main results, forest wildfires news is the most frequent issue mentioned in the media, however they require deeper reflection and debate. Keywords such as forest management, owners, harvesting, products, etc. are rarely found anymore; furthermore, new terms such as biomass, are not yet prevalent. On sources, official institutions, primarily the regional governments, dominate the news sources with a share of over 50%.</p><p><em>Research highlights</em>: Mass media analysis is considered the most appropriate complement for perception studies as it provides relevant basic information needed to design a communication plan. Further research is required on the role mass media plays in how we perceive and react to the environmental problems around us.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong><em>:</em> summative content analysis; policy analysis; ATLAS.ti; biomass; protected areas.</p>
