Those sectors are given voice on the BBC News online news, which produces news not only to inform but also to unveil its own opinions and position. This aspect assures BBC‟s influential role on society. Taking this into account, our goal is to understand the ideological position underlying BBC News online news towards irregular immigration in the United Kingdom. The criteria adopted for the corpus selection were: the news about irregular immigration in the United Kingdom had to be published from 12th April to 6th May of 2010 and signed by a journalist; the material forwarded by the anchors available on the news was to be related to irregular immigration, and the other selected content had to work as non-verbal element to the news selected by the first aforementioned criterion. Those criteria were established in order to relate the selected utterances to BBC‟s editorial policies and to the electoral process for the new British parliament when irregular immigration issue acquired great importance and to assure that the said and the unsaid on the news could be properly understood. This way we collected five pieces of news published from 12th April to 6th May of 2010, which led us to four source documents, one blog post and one piece of news. Futhermore, the said and unsaid on the five selected news was materialized on three pieces of news and one BBC News transcript of the British parties‟ leader debate. In order to achieve the objective of this research, we adopted the Bakhtinian dialogic approach, sharing with Bakhtin and The circle their language conception and, more specifically, the concepts of Speech genre, Non-verbal, Other speakers‟ speech, and Ideology. The corpus specifity made us adopt the NURC/ SP oral language transcription method, some links and hypertext classifications and a conception that enabled the analysis of the corpus‟ verbal-visual dimension. For the corpus analysis, we followed the Bakhtinian methodological order of describing, analyzing, and interpreting, taking in consideration the wider and the more specific social contexts and the genre and linguistic materiality of every piece of news. The analysis result pointed to a xenophobic conservative political position and indifference towards human rights / A grande quantidade de imigrantes e as diversas tentativas de legislar sobre a imigração no Reino Unido geram controvérsias que envolvem vários segmentos da sociedade. Esses segmentos ganham voz nas news da BBC News online, ou seja, nos informativos e opinativos que os utilizam não apenas para informar, mas também para desvelar suas próprias opiniões e posições. Isso faz com que o papel exercido pela BBC tenha grande influência na sociedade. Levando isso em consideração, objetivamos compreender quais são os posicionamentos ideológicos presentes nas matérias da BBC News online sobre a imigração irregular existente no Reino Unido. Definimos como critérios de seleção do corpus que as news fossem assinadas, tratassem da questão da imigração irregular no Reino Unido e tivessem sido veiculadas no período compreendido entre 12 de abril e 6 de maio de 2010; que o material a que fomos remetidos pelas âncoras disponíveis nas news se relacionassem à imigração irregular; e que o restante do conteúdo coletado funcionasse como elemento extraverbal para as news selecionadas. Tais critérios foram estabelecidos para relacionar os enunciados selecionados às políticas editoriais da BBC e ao processo eleitoral para a escolha do novo parlamento britânico esse foi um momento em que a questão da imigração irregular adquiriu grande relevância , e para garantir que os ditos e não-ditos pudessem ser compreendidos adequadamente. Dessa forma, chegamos a cinco news publicadas entre 12 de abril e 6 de maio de 2010, que nos remeteram a quatro documentos-fonte, uma postagem em blog e uma news. Além disso, os não-ditos dessas cinco news materializaram-se em três outras news e em uma transcrição da BBC News do último debate dos líderes dos partidos britânicos. Para atingir o objetivo traçado, adotamos a abordagem dialógica bakhtiniana, compartilhando de Bakhtin e do Círculo a concepção de linguagem e, mais especificamente, os conceitos de Gênero do discurso , Extralinguístico/Extraverbal , Discurso de outrem e Ideologia . A especificidade do corpus nos conduziu ainda à adoção do método de transcrição da linguagem oral do NURC/SP, e ainda à adoção tanto de algumas classificações de links e de hipertextos, como de uma noção que permitisse a análise da dimensão verbo-visual de nosso objeto. Para a análise, seguimos a ordem metodológica bakhtiniana de descrever, analisar e interpretar, contemplando o contexto social mais amplo e o mais imediato, o gênero e a materialidade linguística de cada news. Os resultados apontaram para uma posição política conservadora de nacionalismo xenófobo e indiferente aos direitos humanos

Examining how different media news outlets frame the same situation is an important step towards understanding how the world’s media systems behave. This study examines how four influential news media outlets, belonging to different media systems, have framed Sweden's management of the Covid-19 pandemic during two time-periods when the Covid-19 virus surged. These two media systems are state owned news outlets, consisting of RT (previously Russia Today) and Xinhua, and commercial news outlets, through BBC News and the New York Times.ThestudyusesadeductiveFramingTheorymethod,asdefinedbySemetkoand Valkenburg (2000), to understand how the framing of this case differs between the two media systems. Beyond Framing Theory, the theoretical framework is extended by including the Propaganda Model (Durham and Kellner 2012; Fuchs 2018) and Nation Branding (Potter 2009), to further understand the contextual forces that influence the news outlets. The results of the study determines that there are differences in the use of framing between the two media systems as well as where they stem from. This implies that the context in which the outlet finds itself impacts the framing of the produced articles. Overall, Attribution of Responsibility proved to be the most common frame, followed by Conflict framing. The first one wasmostcommoninthestateownedoutlets,whereasConflictwasmostcommonforthe commercial news outlets.

This study examines the portrayal of refugees in BBC News reports, focusing on postcolonial perspectives in two time periods: 2015 and 2022. The analysis involves language, images, and frameworks used in representing refugees. Findings reveal that in 2015, refugees were depicted as economic migrants, whereas in 2022, Ukrainian refugees were portrayed as genuine victims of war. Factors such as race, gender, religion, and politics influenced their portrayal. This research sheds light on how BBC News represents refugees, impacting public perception. It underscores the importance of critically examining media's portrayal of refugees, considering power relations, especially in major channels claiming neutrality. The study contributes to media studies, refugee studies, and postcolonial theory.
