This study examined the coverage of consumerism by three Nigerian mainstreams newspapers-The Nation, Daily Trust and Punch between July 2019 to June 2020. The study adopted content analysis as method of study and Agenda Setting theory as framework. Findings revealed a gap in the coverage of consumerism in the selected newspapers. Findings also show that the stories on consumerism were published mainly in the inside pages and on a dedicated column, which limited their prominence. The study concludes that there are gaps not just in newspaper coverage, but also in newspaper content especially as it relates to prominence given to the reportage of consumerism. Therefore, it is recommended that media should give prominence to consumerism stories so that issues bothering on consumerism can be placed on the front burners of public discourse just as the other stories that are accorded prominence. It is also recommended that print media organizations reevaluate their editorial stance and house style so as to give adequate attention to issues faced by consumers in exchange relationships. Finally, it is recommended that gatekeepers should consider creating a consumer beat in their respective print media organization, as it will ensure the reportage of more activities and foster conversations about the need for consumer protection.

Building on research into media representation of countries and agenda-setting theory, a content analysis analyzed the way Colombia was portrayed in The New York Times headlines and IMDb plot summaries during 1980 to 2013. This unusual longitudinal study compares the representation of Colombia to other South American countries. Among other conclusions, this study finds that over the 34-year period the word “drug” was included in a New York Times headline with the word “Colombia” more times than any other word with any other South American country.

This research aims to explore the portrayal of political parties in the English newspapers of Pakistan during the general elections of 2008. The media's importance during the process of elections becomes manifold as it can frame the image of politicians and political parties. Comparative analysis of the leading political parties of Pakistan, including PPPP, PMLN and PTI, in the two English dailies - Dawn and The News was done. This paper examined the frequency and direction of editorials and front-page news stories that were published on leading political parties from 18th January 2008 to 18th March 2008. Along with the content analysis method, theoretical postulates of agenda-setting were employed to explore English newspapers' depiction of political parties during general elections 2008. Findings revealed that a maximum number of news and editorials were published on PPPP, but it was portrayed in a negative manner. The English print media adopted a supportive tilt towards PMLN by giving it a positive portrayal during the general election of 2008.

Setting Theory

Traditional agenda-setting theory is about the influence of mass media on the public's focus of attention, who and what people are thinking about. The expanded theory of agenda setting tested here during the 1995 regional and municipal elections in Spain elaborates the influence of the mass media on how people think about persons and topics in the news. Combining content analysis and survey data, this study documents the influence of newspapers, TV news, and both TV and newspaper political advertising on Spanish voters' images of political candidates.

Objectification Of Women

The present paper focused on the objectification of Pakistani female celebrities on social media especially Facebook. The comments under the viral pictures of Mahira Khan, Mariyam Nawaz and Malala Yousafzai were analyzed by adopting the objectification framework of Nussbaum and Langton. Fifty comments about each female celebrity appearing under their viral pictures were analyzed by using the technique of quantitative content analysis. Total sample consisted of 150 comments from Facebook users of both the genders, i.e. males and females. It was observed that there was an abundance of remarks under the pictures of these celebrities where objectification was at work in some way or the other. Reduction to appearance remained the most frequently occurring variable of objectification. It was also observed that though these comments were coming from people of both the genders but male users of Facebook appeared more hostile in this regard. It is suggested on the basis of the results obtained through the current research that FIA needs to formulate a more strict policy regarding online trolling and shaming.

Abstract: Cocaine and tobacco occupy opposite ends of a legal continuum that is narrowing due to diminishing acceptance of cigarette smoking and increasing restrictions on tobacco sales, use, and promotion. This paper compares Canadian newspaper coverage of the two drugs with reference to the main themes, information sources, and policy positions presented in the late 1980s and late 1990s. Further content analysis, of 1998-2002 opinion-editorials, documents recent developments in print media representations of the debates around use and control of these substances. Most notably, in contrast to earlier drug panics, the authors find a more sophisticated range of perspectives encroaching on the moral-legal distinctions and distortions that mark public discourse on all drugs. Résumé : L’écart entre la manière dont la loi traite l’utilisation de la cocaïne et celle du tabac est en train de diminuer à cause de l’acceptation réduite du tabac et des restrictions croissantes sur sa vente, son utilisation et sa promotion. Cet article compare la couverture des deux drogues dans les journaux canadiens en indiquant quels en étaient les thèmes principaux, les sources d’information et les prises de position à la fin des années 80 et 90. Une analyse de contenu supplémentaire, d’éditoriaux datant de 1998-2002, recense le développement dans la presse écrite de débats entourant l’utilisation et le contrôle de ces substances. Les auteurs remarquent notamment un éventail de perspectives qui sont plus sophistiquées par rapport aux paniques suscitées par la drogue dans le passé et qui commencent à déplacer les distinctions et distorsions morales/légales typiques du discours public sur toutes les drogues.

Threat Theory

This paper examines the construction of "immigrants" and "threat" in violent crime media coverage in Norway, by drawing upon themes from McCombs and Shaw‘s (1972) agenda-setting hypothesis, and Blalock‘s (1967) race-threat theory. Results from the thematic qualitative analysis and the themes identified suggest an escalating anti-immigrant rhetoric in the Norwegian media, with an agenda that demonises deviant 'others' (i.e. immigrants, particularly of the 'non-Western‘ variety). The current study is limited to print media, however, future research in this field should examine other media mediums, including visual media and social media, as well as comparing and exploring the themes of this paper within other national contexts.

Background:News media may play a critical role in disseminating research about physical activity and health. This study examined how much physical activity research gets reported in the media and its prominence and credibility.Methods:A content analysis was conducted of the reporting of physical activity research in Canadian national and local newspapers from November 2004 to April 2005.Results:Physical activity research was given some prominence and treated as news through the use of several devices to infer credibility. However, newspapers appeared to invest little in the production of physical activity research as news and information about research methodology was infrequent.Conclusions:While stories reporting physical activity research were given some prominence and credibility, the lack of significant investment and the limited reporting on research methodology suggests that important aspects of research related to physical activity may not be well represented in newspaper coverage.

In the world of media and communication, the producers of content are major contributors who create issues for an audience to think about. This content is not randomly created, but rather created based on certain agendas. This paper analyzes the content of the Alhijrah channel, a Malaysian Islamic TV. The objective of this study is to discover the prioritized Islamic content broadcast by Alhijrah TV that contributes to shaping the perception of Islam among viewers. To achieve this objective, content analysis, observation and interviews were conducted. The sample of the study was the last broadcasting season of 2020. It was found out that Alhijrah divided its programs into eight genres. The leading genre was a magazine that accounted for 46.56% of the sample, and the leading programs were the programs of the noble Qur'an. Alhijrah resorted to shopping programs that accounted for almost 17% of the Alhijrah content. Alhijrah also broadcast seven live programs that made up 16.71% of its programs. Alhijrah also broadcast limited programs of animation, drama, concert and talk show. This study recommends Islamic television channels and producers of Islamic content to align their agendas with the noble Qur'an to prioritize what Allah SWT prioritized to guide the audience to Allah SWT implementing the methods that He set for us. Keywords: Content, television, Islam, Alhijrah TV, agenda-setting theory.
