The International Convention for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), which was not ratified in Malaysia, created a heated public discourse in the media. This cross-linguistic comparative study investigates the representation of ICERD in Malaysian news reports of two online sources in Malaysia – the widely read English portal: The Star Online, and its Malay equivalent: Berita Harian. A corpus-assisted discourse analysis was conducted to examine how news on ‘ICERD’ were reported in both English and Malay online newspapers. Initial comparative analysis of both newspapers revealed that the search term co-occurs statistically more frequently with the verb ‘ratify’ and its equivalent: ‘meratifikasi’. Patterns indicate that ‘ICERD’ was mostly referring to the act of sanctioning the agreement –particularly to ‘not ratify’ or ‘tidak akan meratifikasi’, which is concurrent with the timeframe of events. Interestingly, different patterns can be found in Berita Harian (e.g. the expression of ‘thanks’ or gratitude of not ratifying ICERD) that are not as revealing in The Star Online reports. Some inconsistencies were also reported between the two newspapers, e.g. referring to different ministers’ speech about the initial plan to ratify ICERD alongside five (The Star Online) or six (Berita Harian) other treaties in the following year.

The television media have transformed into industry. Tight competition among TV stations demands the media people to provide programs based on the market taste. Therefore, mostly TV stations design and produce their programs based on share and rating numbers, instead of quality. On the other side, TV stations have important roles in constructing social and cultural development. Currently, TV programs are merely produced based on the business orientation so that the quality of the TV programs is often ignored. Audience must be wise and smart to protect themselves from poor-quality TV programs exposure. This can be achieved by improving their Media Literacy. In the end, Audience is no longer treated as passive object, but actively takes control on the content selection.

This paper undertakes a comparative analysis of the visibility, and of other SEO indicators, of the culture sections of Spain’s leading digital newspapers —specifically, elmundo.es, elpais. com, lavanguardia.com, abc.es, el­confidencial.com and 20minutos.es— based on data collected by the media analytics company, comScore, and the web traffic metric, Alexa Rank. The analysis employs a set of positioning in­dicators: namely, a visibility index, keywords, social signals, keyword profiles, URLs, SERP-Snippets, reference domains and best anchor texts, as made availa­ble by SISTRIX, an SEO analytics audit toolbox. Thus, we were able to deter­mine which of the digital newspapers’ culture sections has the best visibility. Likewise, we were able to identify which of these media are best positioned on Google, presumably as a result of more effective positioning strategies. We con­clude with a discussion of our results and, on the basis of these findings, re­commend ways in which the visibility of journalistic information can be optimi­sed in search engines.   SEO i cibermitjans: visibilitat de la informació cultural dels principals diaris d’Espanya Aquest article realitza una anàlisi com­parativa de visibilitat i altres indicadors SEO de la secció de cultura dels principals cibermitjans espanyols: elmundo.es, elpais.com, lavanguardia.com, abc. es, elconfidencial.com i 20minutos. es. Les anàlisis s’han dut a terme amb la utilització d’un conjunt d’indicadors de posicionament (visibilitat, paraules clau, senyals socials, paraules clau, url, snippets, dominis de referència i mi­llors textos àncora) utilitzant l’eina de auditoria i anàlisi de posicionament en cercadors, SISTRIX. Ens preguntem quin d’aquests mitjans té millor una secció de notícies culturals amb millor visibilitat. L’estudi dut a terme amb els indicadors seleccionats permet, d’aquesta manera, presentar una anàlisi comparativa del periodisme cultural i identificar quins d’aquests mitjans presenten millors posicions a Google, presumiblement, com a resultat d’estratègies de posicio­nament. Finalitzem amb una discussió dels resultats juntament amb unes re­comanacions finals per optimitzar la vi­sibilitat de la informació periodística en els cercadors.

Sugar was a topic of interest for the Spanish online press during 2017 and 2018. This is demonstrated by the 245 texts that were published in five online newspapers: abc.es, elpais.com, elconfidencial.com, eldiario.es, and lavanguardia.com. This study focuses on a comparative analysis of the informational treatment, relevance, themes, frames, comments, and stylistic resources that each of these media displayed. The quantification and evolution of the content corroborate that this topic is consolidated on the news agenda of the media and has been evolving towards the themes of Nutrition/Health, to the detriment of content in the field of Economy/Politics. Looking at the most relevant frames, nuances are observed in each of the newspapers studied. When the subject of sugar is approached from an economic or political angle, all the media highlight the frame of solutions/measures, whether they be corporate or institutional. However, abc.es and lavanguardia.com also place emphasis on the Conflict frameworks, which is hardly relevant for the rest. The emphasis is placed on the Evidence/Revelation frameworks in the texts about Nutrition/Health, except again for abc.es, which prioritized the Consequences frameworks. Almost all the newspapers use resources close to service journalism, and a pedagogical vocation emerges from the headlines. Above all, abc.es and (to a lesser extent) elconfidencial.com use a more informative tone. Readers’ comments are very scarce despite the tone of complaint and alarm of much of the content, focusing on Nutrition/Health issues, on elpais.com and eldiario.es. Resumen Durante los años 2017 y 2018 el azúcar fue un tema de interés para la prensa digital en España. Así lo demuestran los 245 textos que se insertaron en cinco diarios digitales: abc.es, elpais.com, elconfidencial.com, eldiario.es y lavanguardia.com. Este estudio se centra en el análisis comparativo del tratamiento informativo, relevancia, temáticas, encuadres, comentarios y recursos estilísticos que cada uno de los medios desplegó. La cuantificación y evolución de los contenidos corrobora que se trata de un asunto asentado en la agenda informativa de los medios y que ha ido derivando hacia las temáticas de Nutrición/Salud, en detrimento de los contenidos de Economía/Política. Si nos fijamos en los encuadres más relevantes, se observan matices en cada uno de los diarios estudiados. Cuando se aborda el tema del azúcar desde la economía o la política, todas las cabeceras destacan el enfoque de Soluciones/medidas, sean estas corporativas o institucionales. Sin embargo, abc.es y lavanguardia.com pusieron también el énfasis en los marcos de Conflicto, apenas relevantes en el resto. En los textos sobre nutrición y salud se pone el acento en los marcos de Evidencia/Revelación, a excepción de nuevo de abc.es, que priorizó los marcos de Consecuencias. Casi todos los diarios emplean recursos cercanos al periodismo de servicio, y de los titulares se desprende una vocación pedagógica. Sobre todo abc.es y, en menor medida, elconfidencial.com utilizan un tono más informativo. Los comentarios de los lectores son muy escasos pese al tono de denuncia y alarma de muchos contenidos, concentrándose en las temáticas de nutrición y/o salud en elpais.com y eldiario.es.

Representations of war in the media have changed drastically over time. Like the media representations of war, the American public's view of wars has also shifted over time; this is often a result of the media portrayals of war events. This paper examines the role of newspaper, yellow journalism, and sensationalism writing during the Spanish-American War on the American public's support for the war and juxtaposes this with television media accounts of the American war in Vietnam and how this created public disapproval for the war. Both had everlasting effects on US war policy for the future.

The paper argues that a materialistic understanding of history as Marx’s sociological research program has effectively been implemented in the comparative analysis of bourgeois societies. Both qualitative/case-oriented and quantitative/variable-oriented strategies of comparison were employed by Marx in his scholarship. The authors see the crucial dimension of the classical status of Marx in his engagement with historical comparisons – an analytical tendency he shares with Weber and, to some extent, Durkheim. A short historical exposition tracing the early reception of Marx in sociology continues with the most important contemporary criticisms of Marx’s comparative-historical analysis, focusing on the issues of Asiatic mode of production, the nature of European feudalism and the problem of capitalist rationality.

The aspiration of every modern state is to establish the rule of law, which incorporates the basic principles on which a free, open and prosperous society should lie. Some of these principles are civil democracy and secret and direct elections. The legal conduct of elections is the basic way to achieve peace and satisfaction among the population, because it puts the exercise of power and the regulation of issues of essential importance under their control. With the development of technology, trends, but also everyday life are changing, so, in addition to elections, the media are synonymous with freedom and citizenship rights. The media are a means of information that introduces citizens to information of various contents, and above all fundamental. Depending on the norm, level of development, protection mechanisms, the media conscientiously perform their function, or do not do it completely. What are the consequences when reporting on a specific phenomenon that is the basis of a healthy society in the first or second case is a central question that we will analyze in this paper. The importance of elections has been continuously confirmed throughout history, while the necessity of the media has been expanding for decades, in the intensity that elevates them to the top and equates them with the election process.

Public agencies are the objects of a large share of the daily news and devote substantial resources to media management and monitoring. This paper analyses how public agencies have adapted their internal structures and processes in order to meet the demands from their media environment. To this end, an analytical framework for the analysis of organisational mediatisation – the adaptation of internal structures and processes to external media demands – is developed. This is the first framework available for empirical analyses of organisational mediatisation. Its use is then demonstrated in a comparative analysis of the mediatisation of public agencies in Australia and the Netherlands; countries with contrasting political and media systems. An explorative, multimethod study describes how Australian agencies go to greater lengths in accommodating their media environment – they fight the media beast – whereas Dutch agencies are more hesitant; they are fumbling with the beast.
