Communication Flow, Information Exchange and Their Impact on Human Rights ViolationsBonn, Georg 05 1900 (has links)
Although international human rights declarations exist, violations of human rights are still sad but also common facts around the world. But for repressive regimes, it becomes more and more difficult to hide committed human rights violations, since society entered the "Information Revolution." This study argues that the volume of international information exchanged influences a country's human rights record. A pooled cross sectional time series regression model with a lagged endogenous variable and a standard robust error technique is used to test several hypotheses. The findings of this study indicate that the flow of information can be related to a country's human rights index. The study also suggests that more empirical work on this topic will be necessary.

Coverage of African countries in Pan-African business magazines : evidence of hierarchy in regional news flowsUbomba-Jaswa, Florence Otae 04 1900 (has links)
This dissertation examines the flow of economic news in Africa, in order to investigate
the potential existence of regional hierarchies in international news flow. The research
was based on a framework of theories on international news flow. A quantitative and
qualitative content analysis of a sample of news articles published in Africa Investor,
African Business and Business in Africa during 2007 and 2008 was analysed. The
quantitative results showed that South Africa received the highest level of coverage and
was covered to a greater extent than any other African country. The qualitative results
indicated that there was clear evidence of regional hierarchy in the coverage of African
countries: South Africa received extensive coverage probably due to the fact that it is
the largest, most advanced and influential economy in the continent. The study showed
that inequality in news coverage is not only a global issue, but also a regional one. / Communication Science / M.A. (International Communication)

An investigation into the patterns of news media consumption among South African youthMaphiri, Fulufhelo Oscar January 2019 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D. (Media Studies)) -- University of Limpopo, 2019 / For years traditional and digital media have played an essential role of disseminating news and information to keep their target audience always updated about what is happening nationally and internationally. News consumption has globally been experiencing enormous deviations due to advancements in technology. In this context, the study examined and analysed news consumption patterns among the rural youth living in Limpopo Province South Africa. The study employed a sequential mixed research method. A self-administered questionnaire and semi-structured personal interview were used to collect data from youth aged between 18-34 years. A sample of 320 youth participated in the study, with 300 in quantitative and 20 in qualitative methods of research used to gather data for the study. Youth participants were randomly selected using convenience non-probability sampling. The data collected through a questionnaire were analysed using the Statistical Programme for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, inferential and descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were thematically analysed and interpreted considering diverse themes, sub-themes and common statements. The study results revealed that most youth highly preferred to access and consume news through online media more than television and newspapers because digital media are cheap, easily accessible and affordable. The findings further indicated that most youth highly preferred to consume news through television channels such as ETV because it is a credible and reliable source of news. It is highlighted in the results that most youth preferred to consume entertainment news more than business, political and sport news because they find the former interesting and relaxing. Also, most youth did prefer to discuss entertainment news with family members and friends and that there are positive relationships between media credibility and news consumption which tend to influence family and friends’ news discussions. In a nutshell, the findings of this study further suggest a philosophical change in news consumption patterns among South African youth and the operation of media industries. However, the study recommends that most media houses need to broadcast and publish business and political news that are more relevant, accurate and objective for most youth to consume proficiently.
Keywords: News media consumption, news discourse, youth, media credibility, new and traditional media.

The political role of the diaspora media in the mediation of the Zimbabwean crisis : a case study of The Zimbabwean - 2008 to 2010Matsilele, Trust 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: After a decade long multi-faceted political crisis, political parties in Zimbabwe signed the Global
Political Agreement (GPA) of 2008 following the Southern African Development Community’s
(SADC) mediated talks culminating in the formation of an inclusive government. This study
sought to investigate the political role, if any, played by the diasporic media in mediating the
Zimbabwean crisis. This research focused on diasporic media using as a case study The
Zimbabwean newspaper considering that during the research period it was circulating both in the
country and diaspora communities in Western Europe, the USA and SADC countries. Diasporic
media in Zimbabwe is a phenomenon associated with the rise of robust political opposition to the
former ruling ZANU PF regime. Accordingly, such media operated outside the purview of the
contemporary legislative and legal regime although the newspaper circulated in Zimbabwe. A
number of anti establishment news media sprouted to challenge and offer resistance in the
cyberspace and on shortwave and in print media. The Social Responsibility Theory was
employed with the aim of establishing whether or not The Zimbabwean observed the journalistic
ethics of reporting with truthfulness, accuracy, balance and objectivity. The Social Responsibility
Theory’s thrust is on de-sensationalising reportage, promotion of media ethics and self
regulation.
This study employed both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The research
established that The Zimbabwean newspaper played, to a larger extent, an active role in
challenging the ZANU PF-led government and gave a platform to the oppositional Movement
for Democratic Change. The conclusion arrived at in this study was that just like the state media,
which promoted the government’s propaganda, The Zimbabwean did the same for the opposition
parties in Zimbabwe. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Politieke partye in Zimbabwe het ná ’n lang politieke krisis met vele fasette die Global Political
Agreement (GPA) van 2008 geteken. Dit het gevolg op die Suid-Afrikaanse
Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap (SAOG) se mediëring wat gelei het tot die vorm van ’n inklusiewe
regering. Hierdie studie het probeer om die politieke rol, indien enigsins, van die diaspora-media
in die mediëring van die Zimbabwiese krisis te ondersoek. Die navorsing het op diaspora-media
gefokus deur ’n gevallestudie van die koerant The Zimbabwean te doen. Dié blad is gedurende
die navorsingstyd in die land sowel as onder die Zimbabwiese diaspora in Europa, die VSA en
SAOG-lande versprei. Diaspora-media in Zimbabwe is ’n fenomeen wat geassosieer word met
die opkoms van ’n robuuste politieke opposisie teen die ZANU (PF)-regime. Dié media opereer
dus buite die grense van die juridiese en wetgewende gesag van die land. ’n Verskeidenheid antiestablishment media het in die kuberruim, kortgolfradio en drukmedia ontwikkel wat beide
uitgedaag en weerstand gebied het. Die Sosiale Verantwoordelikheidsteorie is gebruik om vas te
stel of The Zimbabwean joernalistieke etiek nagekom het deur waarheidsgetrou en akkuraat,
sowel as met balans en objektiwiteit, te rapporteer. Die teorie fokus om reportage te
desensasionaliseer en om media-etiek en selfregulering te bevorder. Die studie het kwalitatiewe
en kwantitatiewe navorsingsmetodes gebruik. Die navorsing het vasgestel dat The Zimbabwean
tot ’n groot mate ’n aktiewe rol gespeel het om die ZANU (PF)-regering uit te daag en ’n
platform te bied aan die Movement for Democratic Change (MDC)-groepering. Die slotsom is
dat, net soos die staatsmedia regering-propaganda bevorder het, The Zimbabwean dit vir die
opposisiepartye in Zimbabwe gedoen het.

An analysis of international news in Malawi newspapersKondowe, Emmanuel Braham Zumani 31 March 2008 (has links)
The study used quantitative content analysis to compare the international news content about Africa and the rest of the world in selected daily and weekly newspapers in Malawi and explored the extent to which economic factors, as represented by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), influence news flows about Africa into Malawi. The results showed dominance of the categories of war/international conflict and politics. International news agencies were the principal sources of news items for all the four papers. Though there were differences among the newspapers in the amount of space allocated to various categories such differences were minor. The study established that GDP is not a determinant of the amount of coverage a country receives. / Communication Science / M.A. (International Communication)

The international flow of news regarding the 2003 Irag War : a comparative analysisLouw, Ivonne Petronella 01 1900 (has links)
This comparative study conducted within the framework of world system theory aimed to analyse the international flow of news regarding the 2003 Iraq War in online newspapers representative of centre, semi-peripheral and peripheral countries. Two of the newspapers represent centre nations directly involved in the war. Overall, the findings confirmed that the extensive war coverage of the newspapers can in part be attributed to the status of the USA and the UK as centre nations. The findings furthermore indicate the importance of both event and context-related factors as filters in the selection of items for news coverage of the war. Distinct differences emerged in the coverage of newspapers from the three spheres of the world system. These differences can be ascribed to the attitudes of the newspapers towards the war, the use of sources in the war coverage, the propaganda strategies deployed and the framing of the events / Communication Science / M.
