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.

The main focus of this study is the coverage of New Straits Times (NST) of the first Palestinian General Elections for two presidential candidates namely, Yasser Arafat and Samiha Khalil. This study aimed to explore if any of Entman’s 1993 framing functions was used in the coverage of this issue and to explore whether the tone of NST coverage was negative, positive, balanced or neutral. Toachieve the aims of this study, qualitative content analysis of elections stories from NST has been adopted. The number of news stories was eight, and the time frame started from 19th January to 13th February 1996, where three of these stories were published on the same day of 22nd January,two days after holding the elections on 20th January. Defining problems and diagnosing causes werethe most prominent of Entman’s four framing functions presented in all the articles. The moral judgment function was included in four news stories, and suggesting remedies was included in two news stories out of eight. The findings revealed that Yasser Arafat received 50% balanced coverage, followed by 37.5% positive coverage, and only 12.5% negative coverage, while Samiha Khalilreceived 67% balanced coverage, compared to 33% positive coverage.

This study identifies the dominant frames presented in opinion articles published from 20 August to 17 September 2013 on the alternative website – antiwar.com – and the mainstream website – cnn.com; this timeframe includes articles published a week before and a week after the US administration’s decision to attack and withdraw from Syria. The article employs qualitative content analysis and Entman’s framing theory to code the data and extract the themes and dominant frames present in a total of 87 opinion articles. The study concludes that cnn.com provided frames that presented Bashar al-Assad as a ‘brutal villain’ who uses chemical weapons on his own people, while providing frames that stress Barack Obama’s incompetency in carrying out a strategic plan and highlight the negative consequences of a strike. However, antiwar.com articles are more resonant and consistent than cnn.com articles, and provide frames that encourage readers to protest against engaging in another war, reminding them of the failures of similar past wars such as the Iraq War and its negative consequences, as well as stressing the major players that benefited from a military intervention.

Introduction:Norway is a country with many road tunnels and therefore also has experience with rescue operations in tunnel environments. Major incidents always challenge involved emergency services’ management skills. Oslo, Norway has a specially trained medical on-scene commander, a function already existing in police and rescue service. Intra-agency communication and management of personnel are essential factors for a successful rescue effort.Aim:To investigate the medical management provided by the specially trained Norwegian medical on-scene commander in relation to tunnel incidents.Methods:Interviews were conducted with six of the seven medical on-scene commanders in Oslo. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.Results:An overarching theme emerged: A need for mutual understanding of the tunnel incident. The medical on-scene commanders established guidelines for response in collaboration with the other emergency services. By creating a sense of trust, the collaboration between the emergency services became more fluent. Socializing outside of work resulted in improved reliance on their counterparts in the other services. The management also included that the medical on-scene commander supervised his personnel on site by providing support using knowledge of the risk object and surrounding area.Discussion:A forum for the emergency services on-scene commanders where they share ideas and knowledge, improve the on-scene intra-agency communication, and trust is desirable. A culture of trust between the organizations is needed for a mutual understanding. Further research on this subject is needed in other contexts and countries.

Qualitative content analysis is the most common method to compare advertisements cross-culturally or cross-generationally. However, quantitative methods, such as chi-square or Fisher tests, can also be used. In this paper, we introduce results for Fisher tests, seriation and single-value decomposition that prove useful in determining similarities and differences in cultural appeals in advertising.

Turkey, which has a rich cultural mosaic, consists of the combination of many ‘Others’, including cultural, religious and ethnic the ‘Others’; the ‘Other’ as a gender role; as refugees, emigrants, etc. In such a multicultural climate, our research aim is to identify the stereotypes that represent the ‘Other’ in TV advertisements on Turkey’s mainstream channels. For this purpose, we examined 101 prime-time TV commercials that were broadcast on the five most watched mainstream TV channels between September and December 2020. Having conducted the quantitative and qualitative content analysis of TV commercials, we revealed the symbolic annihilation of the ‘Others’ in the Turkish advertising environment, which is accordance with the conservative perception of the country. In line with the international research, we came to the conclusion that the white Turkish men with medium-high socioeconomic status were heavily represented in the prime-time Turkish TV advertising. Nevertheless, it was also revealed that gendered visibility of the others as well as women portrayals were considered only as the ‘Other’ in the Turkish TV ads. Besides, our research findings overwhelmingly reflect the hegemonic culture and highly traditional views on gender roles.

Purpose: In this article, Mr. Naseem Hijazi, a lesser-known hero of the Pakistan Movement, is highlighted. The primary purpose of this paper is to expose the hidden aspects of Mr. Naseem Hijazi's life. He was a well-known novelist and writer, as well as a freedom fighter. He was a member of the Pakistan Movement, but few people were aware of his involvement. He was a devoted Muslim and a firm believer in Islam. This research paper investigates and analyses the life of Naseem Hijazi to get a complete image of him. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research demonstrates that delving into individual biographies might provide a contextualized view of Naseem Hijazi's life, allowing for a complete picture of him. This study employed a qualitative content analysis method to examine Naseem Hijazi's biography during the Independence Movement. Findings: The finding shows that Naseem Hejazi had a passion for life that could enthrall any of his companions. During a radio interview, Syed Hashim Raza described his relationship with Naseem Hejazi, saying that the Muslim League was the only party working to establish Pakistan between 1940 and 1947. Naseem Hejazi was one of those who stood behind Quaid-e-Azam throughout those times and was respected by all. Naseem Hejazi, I believe, ran half of the pro-Muslim League propaganda effort in Baluchistan, while Mir Jaffer Khan Jamali ran the other half. Quetta's Pasban Fortnightly, June 15 (1939: 6). Implications/Originality/Value: In such a situation, history books about the Pakistan Movement should be rewritten to acknowledge Naseem Hejazi's work as one of the nation's benefactors.”

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.

Horror movies in Indonesian cinemas have seen a recent surge of viewers despite being associated with exploiting sensualism under the blanket of horror. Meanwhile, the top ten viewed Indonesian horror movies in recent years managed to somewhat acquire the trust of Indonesians to come back to watch more horror movies in their favourite cinemas. This paper employs the qualitative content analysis method to better grasp what movie trailer elements are employed by the top 10 viewed Indonesian horror movies and see what are the similarities and differences in the elements of horror they present. Ultimately, as the market demands it, a natural selection for the kinds of horrors Indonesians watch is currently on going.

This article analyses the 2019 European Parliament (EP) election manifestos of populist parties in V4 countries as a contribution to the contemporary discussion on political populism. The aim of the study is to analyze the election campaign programs which populist parties operating in individual V4 countries presented for EP elections in 2019, using a qualitative content analysis of the official election programs of relevant populist parties and other sources of their communication. It tries to identify topics that have been framed as a problem or risk by Central European populists and how these topics have been interpreted in their programs. The so-called “immigration crisis” and the contemporary state of the European Union are seen as the most problematic topics by a majority of the populists. On the other hand, the majority of these parties do not want some Central European version of Brexit. Their rhetorical goal is rather the reform the Union.

Abstract Wildlife managers and others charged with resolving human-coyote conflict in urban and suburban areas cannot focus solely on ecology and coyote behavior. The perceptions of the people living in the affected communities play a significant role in the resolution of human-coyote conflict. In this study, we explore how residents of two communities in suburban Denver, CO, USA, mentally processed, made sense of, and acted upon human–coyote interactions in the face of conflict. By conducting interviews and using qualitative content analysis to explore existing documents, we examined how the use of language reflected and exacerbated the conflict over coyote management. Themes of violence, crime and war ran throughout our data. Anger and accusations of extremism were prevalent. Closely tied to the violent language and imagery used was a discussion of tolerance and intolerance, taking what is generally human-centric language and using it with wildlife. In addition, labeling coyotes as not belonging in an area (although they are a native species) further increased the urge to protect family and pets from the perception of the threat against ‘the other’, sometimes expressed in inflammatory language. Political and other messaging can either enhance or reduce a sense of threat, and we found that the language used in this debate enhanced the perceived threat of both coyotes and policy opponents. Finding ways to defuse this language could be a step toward a greater understanding of how to live with local wildlife in a way that minimizes harm to people and to the animals.
