The Relationship

This article studies the work and working conditions of local non-professional or semi-professional photographers in Aleppo 2016, and the way they manoeuvre in relation to international networks of journalists and editors as well as to Western norms of portraying distant suffering when seeking to reach global audiences. Theoretically, the article draws upon studies of the ethics of distant spectatorship as well as of practitioners’ perspectives on photojournalism in and from conflict zones. The analysis builds on interviews with local photographers, Aleppo Media Centre, non-governmental organization employees, news agency photo editors and international journalists who have worked in Aleppo as well as digital ethnography. We argue that the relationship between Aleppian photographers and international news organisations was characterised by mutual dependency, but that their relationship was concurrently wrought with inequalities and dilemmas as the photographers’ working conditions were characterised by physical, political and economic vulnerability.

Abstract: This article is a product of the Geography of News Project, whose express purpose is to assess the Internet’s potential to foster an expanded, and more international, news geography. The article begins by discussing the relationship between news and geography, then describes and analyzes the results of a news-flow study of the websites of three international newspapers with extensive online editions: The Times of London, Libération of Paris, and Ha’aretz of Tel Aviv. It argues that while each of these newspapers adopts a distinct online strategy, the geographies they map out remain highly circumscribed, reinforcing significant distinctions in the newsworthiness of various parts of the world and suggesting that our understanding of news value must include the value of audiences for whom news is produced.Résumé : Cet article est le résultat du Projet de cartographie de la répartition géographique des nouvelles en ligne, dont la raison d’être est d’évaluer le potentiel d’Internet à assurer une couverture géographique plus internationale de l’actualité. Cet article commence par discuter du rapport entre nouvelles et géographie, puis décrit et analyse les résultats d’une étude de la diffusion des nouvelles sur les sites de trois quotidiens comportant des éditions en ligne d’envergure : le Times de Londres, Libération de Paris et Haaretz de Tel Aviv.L’article soutient que, bien que chacun de ces journaux adopte une stratégie distincte en ligne, les géographies qu’elles développent demeurent fort restreintes, renforçant des écarts significatifs dans l’importance journalistique de diverses régions du monde et suggérant que notre compréhension de la valeur d’une nouvelle dépend souvent de la valeur du public pour lequel on couvre l’actualité.

Terrorism Discourse

The paper studies the use of the word terrorist in the dispatches of two major international news agencies, AP and Reuters. It can be assumed that the attacks on September 11, 2001, have changed the role of terrorist and affected the meaning of the word. While terrorists have been traditionally construed as violent actors, they are now, more and more, seen as a static threat. The paper examines three collocations — terrorist attack, terrorist threat and terrorist suspect — as grammatical metaphors (cf. Halliday 1994); the collocation terrorist network is analysed as a conceptual metaphor (cf. Lakoff and Johnson 1980). Linguistic strategies manifested in the data form a pattern that I call “anti-terrorism discourse”. Modality and general vagueness of the language are conspicuous features in the news agency dispatches on terrorism; the reports focus on what may happen or may have happened. This can be argued to undermine the factuality of news agency discourse.

This article is about the unique word–image relations as these appear in international news production. This is achieved by analysing the labour of a particular team – the keyword team – in the news picture production routine at the powerful Thomson Reuters international news agency. By analysing the daily work of keyworders at Thomson Reuters, I explore how the word–image problem is demonstrated, and settled, in international news production. Similar to the picture categorising mechanisms in the stock business, I argue that word and image relations in news media can also be productive, serving as a cultural practice that helps extending the shelf-life of archived pictures, thus increasing news picture sales worldwide.

The article deals with issues of countering cyber-attacks (so-called trolling and hacking) in Internet broadcasting, and using social networks in info-competition and communication discourse in German-language on-air, by the example of International News Agency “Russia Today” (RT) and its website Sputnik. The topicality of the article is based on the fact that RT’s website Sputnik is a relatively new resource on the European information market. The author analyzes the cases and contexts of countering malware and targeted cyber-attacks on European German-language broadcasting agencies. The study of RT’s and Sputnik’s journalists’ work shows that it is actively hindered by some Western countries, particularly the USA and the UK, which are obsessed by anti-Russian xenophobia and the unproved pre-conception of Russia’s interference with their internal affairs. These countries openly admit to be waging an outreach war against Russian broadcasting companies by means of hacking attacks. Russian multi-language broadcasting channel RT, founded in 2005, successfully reflects and transmits Russia’s official position on key issues of the international politics and countering cyber-attacks by foreign “trolls” and “hackers”. A website is currently the most easily accessible among all digital communication channels, and its quality is easy to assess. Considering this, the author describes advantages of RT’s transition from social networks to its German-language site Sputnik. The measures taken in order to optimize its structure, adapt to mobile devices, and provide convenience of site navigation, enabled Sputnik to enlarge its geographic reach and enter the circle of foreign German-language social networks.

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.
