Flow Of Information

This paper addresses news exchange between Brazil and Portuguese-speaking countries of Africa, as carried out by each country’s national news agency. The main goal of this study is to understand how the flow of information is undertaken by these agencies. For this end, a quantitative and comparative survey was conducted on usage of texts from one agency by the other, by means of content analysis of cited material published on their respective websites, during the period of May 2016 to May 2017. In spite of important international events having taken place in Brazil during that time, the exchange between agencies was recorded as minimal. In order to analyze this exchange, we adopt theoretical perspectives from the political economy of news agencies (Boyd-Barrett, 1980) and of the circulation of news (Machado, 2008; Medina, 1998.) The paper applies the concept of network-territory to the analysis of news exchange and focuses on analyzing the structures of news production. The geocultural Lusophone sphere is understood here as a space of information circulation. The paper proposes a dialogue between Geographies of Communication and Journalism Studies.O artigo aborda o intercâmbio de notícias entre o Brasil e os países da África de língua portuguesa, operado por meio de suas respectivas agências nacionais de notícias. Entender de que forma se dá o fluxo informativo a partir das agências é o principal objetivo deste estudo. Para isso, fez-se uma pesquisa quantitativa e comparativa sobre o aproveitamento de textos de cada agência em todas as demais, por meio de análise de conteúdo sobre citações no material publicado em seus respectivos websites, no intervalo de maio de 2016 a maio de 2017. Apesar de fatos de grande repercussão internacional ocorridos no Brasil no período, o intercâmbio verificado foi mínimo. Para analisá-lo, são aqui adotadas as perspectivas da Economia Política das agências de notícias, de Boyd-Barrett (1980), e de circulação de notícias (Machado, Medina.) O trabalho incorpora o conceito de território-rede à análise do intercâmbio de notícias e se concentra na análise das estruturas de produção da notícia. A esfera geocultural lusófona é entendida como um espaço de circulação de informações e propõe-se uma interlocução entre as Geografias da Comunicação e os estudos de jornalismo.Palavras-chave: agências de notícias; jornalismo na África; geografias da comunicação; circulação de notíciasEl artículo aborda el intercambio de noticias entre Brasil y los países lusohablantes de África, operado por sus respectivas agencias nacionales de noticias. Comprender de qué forma se pasa el flujo de información desde las agencias de noticias es el objetivo principal de este estudio. Para ello se llevó a cabo una encuesta cuantitativa y comparativa por medio de análisis de contenido sobre el aprovechamiento de noticias de cada agencia en cada una de las demás, mediante replicación o atribución como fuente entre los contenidos en sus respectivos sitios web, en el lapso comprendido entre mayo de 2016 y mayo de 2017. Pese la gran repercusión internacional de sucesos en Brasil en ese período, el intercambio constatado ha sido mínimo. Para analizarlo, se utilizan las perspectivas de Economía Política de las agencias de noticias, de Boyd-Barrett (1980), y de la circulación de noticias (Machado, Medina.) El artículo aplica el concepto de territorio-red al análisis del intercambio de noticias y se centra en el análisis de las estructuras de producción de noticias. La esfera geocultural de lengua portuguesa se la entiende como un espacio de circulación de información y se propone una interlocución entre las Geografías de Comunicación y los estudios de Periodismo.

Discourse Strategies

Along with the growing use of twitter as a tool of political interaction, recently, there has also been an attention in the academia to understand and explain how and why politicians use twitter, and what its impact on the political outcomes are. On the other hand, there has been little analysis about the content of the tweets that politicians from different parties posted during major political events. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the discourse strategies that the top-level politicians of the party in power and of the main opposition party in Turkey used in their tweets during Gezi Park events in the summer of 2013. Findings from a hand-coded content analysis based on Van Dijk's framework (2006) indicate that while the most frequently used strategy was actor descriptions and categorization for both parties' politicians, burden strategy and lexicalization / metaphor strategy were used significantly more by the main opposition party politicians compared to the politicians of the party in power.

ملخص: سعت الدراسة لرصد وتحليل خصائص وسمات التغطية الإخبارية لقضايا الأسرى الفلسطينيين المضربين عن الطعام في النشرات الإخبارية الرئيسية بالفضائيات الفلسطينية والعربية، وقد اعتمدت على منهج المسح فيما يتعلق بالنشرات الإخبارية في قناة فلسطين وقناة الجزيرة باستخدام صحيفة تحليل المضمون، من خلال المسح بالعينة للنشرات الإخبارية الرئيسية لمدة ثلاثة وستين يوماً وهى مدة الإضراب من تاريخ 23/4/2014م وحتى 25/6/2014م. اتضح من خلال نتائج الدراسة أن القنوات الفضائية أعطت اهتماماً كبيراً لأخبار الأسرى الفلسطينيين المضربين عن الطعام وقضاياهم بنشراتها الإخبارية مع تفاوت نسب الاهتمام من قناة إلى أخرى، فجاءت الأحداث والقضايا الاجتماعية والنفسية في مقدمة تلك القضايا، يليها القضايا الأمنية، ثم القضايا السياسية، فالقضايا الاقتصادية، وأخيراً القضايا العسكرية. ركزت قناة الجزيرة على عرض أحداث الأسرى الفلسطينيين وقضاياهم باستخدام خبر واحد فقط بالاعتماد على أكثر من شكل إخباري، في حين ركزت قناة فلسطين على تقديم أكثر من خبرين في النشرة الواحدة باستخدام الخبر والتقرير المصاحب له، كما تنوع الشكل الإخباري المستخدم في القنوات عينة الدراسة، فجاء على رأسها تقديم الخبر عن طريق مذيع مع تقارير المراسلين، وتراجع نقل الخبر مباشرة من موقع الحدث إلى الترتيب الأخير، واتضح أن هناك ارتفاعاً في نسبة اعتماد هذه القنوات على مصادرها الذاتية في معالجتها الإخبارية لهذه القضايا. تنوعت عناصر التعبير المرئية والصوتية المستخدمة في تقديم قضايا الأسرى، وتمثل ذلك باستخدام تقارير المراسلين وتقارير الأستوديو، كما تنوعت عناصر الإبراز المستخدمة في تقديمها، مما يدلل على الأهمية النسبية التي تحظى بها هذه القضايا في المعالجة الإخبارية بالفضائيات الفلسطينية والعربية. الكلمات المفتاحية: الأسرى الفلسطينيين، إضراب الأسرى عن الطعام، قناة فلسطين، قناة الجزيرة، التغطية الإخبارية. Abstract This study seeks to record and analyze the properties and the characteristics of The news coverage of the cases of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Hunger Strike in the basic newscasts broadcasted in the Palestinian and Arab SatelliteChannels. The study used the survey methodology for the sample of the newscasts broadcasted on Palestine Channel and Al Jazeera News Channel to analyze the coverage of the cases of the prisoners’ hunger strike mentioned in the newscasts by using the content analysis sheet. The two satellite channels gave a large interest in the news and the cases of the Palestinian prisoners’ hunger strike with the variance in the interest percentages from a channel to the other. The news and the social and psychological cases came at the top of the cases of the Palestinian prisoners’ hunger strike, followed by a coverage for the security cases, the political cases, the economical cases and finally the military cases. The results revealed an increase in the dependence on self-sources in the news coverage in both channels. In addition, the results reported an absence of dependence on the Palestinian media sources in Al Jazeera Channel while Palestine Channel depended on and transferred from the Israeli Media Sources in its news coverage for the cases of the prisoners. Keywords: Palestine Channel, Al Jazeera Channel, News Coverage, Palestinian Prisoners’ Hunger Strike, Satellite Newscasts.

Negative Connotation

This article presents a framing analysis of news about Aksi Bela Islam 2 Desember 2016 (Aksi 212) which were reported by two local media: BBC Indonesia and Republika. Aksi 212 refers to a collective movement of Indonesian Muslim society which demands a lawsuit against the incumbent candidate of the 2017 DKI Jakarta governor election, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok. The street demonstration that centered in the capital Jakarta received massive coverage from local and international media, reporting with various news frames. BBC Indonesia and Republika were among the big news houses that covered the event with their own distinctive perspectives. This is the reason that the authors attempt to conduct a framing analysis of the news about the issue reported by the two news organizations. Using Entman’s (1993) framing model, the authors analyzed five news articles from the respective media. The results show that BBC Indonesia which belongs to the international news agency, BBC UK tends to frame the Aksi 212 as a demonstration which has a negative connotation. On the other hand, Republika which is known for its Muslim target audience produces a news frame about the Aksi 212 in a more positive manner. This framing analysis provides a picture on how significant of an event is to be framed in a certain way by news agencies.  Artikel ini mengemukakan analisis pembingkaian (framing) terhadap pemberitaan Aksi Bela Islam 2 Desember 2016 (Aksi 212) yang disiarkan oleh dua media lokal: BBC Indonesia dan Republika. Aksi 212 yang merupakan puncak dari gerakan kolektif masyarakat Muslim Indonesia menuntut calon gubenur petahana Pilkada DKI Jakarta 2017, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama atau Ahok, atas kasus penistaan agama. Aksi turun ke jalan yang berpusat di Ibu Kota Jakarta ini mendapat liputan meluas baik dari media lokal maupun internasional dengan bingkai pemberitaan (framing) yang berbeda-beda. BBC Indonesia dan Republika termasuk media besar yang menumpukan pemberitaan terhadap aksi tersebut dengan sudut pandang yang berbeda. Ini yang melatarbelakangi penulis untuk melakukan analisis pembingkaian terhadap pemberitaan isu berkenaan dalam dua organisasi berita tersebut. Dengan menggunakan model pembingkaian Entman (1993), tim penulis menganalisis lima artikel berita dari masing-masing media. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa BBC Indonesia yang merupakan rangkaian agensi berita internasional milik BBC Inggris cenderung membingkai Aksi 212 sebagai aksi demonstrasi yang mempunyai konotasi negatif. Di lain pihak, Republika yang dikenal sebagai penerbitan berita untuk masyarakat Muslim menghasilkan pembingkai berita tentang Aksi 212 dalam nada yang lebih positif. Hasil analisis pembingkaian ini memberi gambaran bagaimana signifikansi peristiwa tertentu mendorong agensi berita untuk membentuk perspektif tertentu melalui pembingkaian.

The Relationship

This article investigates the relationship between the Ottoman state and the operations of the most powerful international news agencies of its time, Havas and Reuters, within the Ottoman Empire. The two agencies started to operate in Istanbul during the Crimean War and soon became the most influential sources of news both within and outside the Ottoman Empire. The article examines how the Ottoman state, perceiving them as a threat, attempted to resist their dominant role in news-production by collaborating with other different agencies and actors. When this failed, it tried to found a national news agency.

The paper focusses on the online political discourse of the Five Star Movement (5SM) and its strategic adaptability. The main goal of the analysis is to establish how salient several topics are over time in order to test the party’s ideological flexibility. Indeed, 5SM’s post-ideological approach and its emphasis on direct-democratic tools might constitute a winning formula for other populist parties willing to exploit the crisis of the mainstream parties and representation. The paper, through an automated content analysis, tracks the longitudinal evolution of the salience of the topics addressed by 5SM on the party’s blog. This allows us to establish which topics are at the core of the party’s message and which, on the other hand, have been raised strategically over time. Results show that 5SM’s discourse is very flexible and adaptable: it devotes a large space to the importance of direct democracy while flexibly addressing different topics depending on the political and social context.

The Social

The changing undercurrents of the political situation of the world, in the aftermath of 9/11, seem to have affected the notion of the 'other' in the social, cultural and most expressively the discourse of literature. The power structures embedded in these discourses have influenced the social practices in the portrayal of the 'other'. The construction of the 'other' is epitomized through writings illustrating biases that reveal themselves in ostracizing communities and ideologies. The socio-political implications of the identity in post 9/11 require further investigation.  The current study investigates the portrayal of the 'other' delineated in American young adults. The theoretical perspectives of Siegfried Jager and Teun van Dijk (2001) in the domain of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) were employed to analyze the data. The results of the investigation substantiated that the 'other' was redefined as an entity loaded with explicit negative implications and depicted by adding a prefix to the ‘other’ creating a ‘Muslim other’. The paper has implications for socio-political, education and cultural setting and practices in society.

Similarities And Differences

The study has examined the similarities and differences in the coverage of two Palestinian news agencies Ma’an and Palestinian Information Center (PIC) on the reactions of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s regarding relocating the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The study has also aimed to explore the use of four function of framing by Entman 1993 in the news stories of both agencies. Qualitative content analysis has been adopted to achieve the aim of this study. The total sampling number was 9 news stories; 3 stories have been retrieved from Ma’an, and the other 6 have been retrieved from PIC. The time frame has started from December 5, 2017 which marked the day of informing Abbas by Trump’s decision to move the Embassy until December 22 2017 which was a day after gaining a sweeping victory in UN by president Abbas through a resolution that rejected the decision. Both of the news agencies were supportive to President Abbas in their coverage and none of them has any negative coverage about him. From the sampling number it can be seen that PIC has paid more attention for the coverage of this issue than Ma’an. However, PIC has ignored the success of President Abbasfor achieving UN resolution against Trump’s decision. Moreover, all the news stories has included “define the problem” while excluded “diagnose causes” functions. However both“make moral judgment” and “suggest remedies” have been included in all news stories of Ma’an, and only half of news stories of PIC.

Academic Qualifications

This study investigates the preachers and their Friday sermons in Lebanon, raising the following questions: What are the profiles of preachers in Lebanon and their academic qualifications? What are the topics evoked in their sermons? In instances where they diagnosis and analyze the political and the social, what kind of arguments are used to persuade their audiences? What kind of contact do they have with the social sciences? It draws on forty-two semi-structured interviews with preachers and content analysis of 210 preachers’ Friday sermons, all conducted between 2012 and 2015 among Sunni and Shia mosques. Drawing from Max Weber’s typology, the analysis of Friday sermons shows that most of the preachers represent both the saint and the traditional, but rarely the scholar. While they are dealing extensively with political and social phenomena, rarely do they have knowledge of social science
