Finding fantasy : three newspapers tell the story of Kip Kinkel and Thurston High

Wood, Josie MaryAnne Soules 13 July 2001 (has links)
On May 21, 1998 Kip Kinkel drove to Thurston High School in Springfield, Oregon. Kinkel killed two students and wounded another twenty-two students. He killed his parents the day before. The shootings at Thurston High School came on the heels of a number of prominent school shootings and Kip Kinkel provoked tremendous attention from the media. In an attempt to understand how the media told the story of Kip Kinkel and the shootings at Thurston High School, Ernest G. Bormann's fantasy theme analysis is used as a critical model. To generate insight into the rhetorical visions present in the media coverage articles from three newspapers, The Register-Guard, The Oregonian and The New York Times, are studied. Fantasy types and themes including characters, settings and plotlines are identified and explored. A literature study provides information about the media and how it functions in telling stories, particularly those focused on crime. The critical evaluation of the fantasy themes and types at work the three newspapers provide a number of conclusions. Two rhetorical visions are revealed and discussed. Specific strengths and weaknesses of fantasy theme analysis are also discussed. Finally, a number of future research possibilities are suggested. / Graduation date: 2002

Black and Blue and Read All Over: News Framing and the Coverage of Crime

Cosand, Kalistah Quilla 20 May 2014 (has links)
This study explores the representation of crime in the news in relation to expressed emotion and intention for future action. Episodic and thematic framing (Iyengar, 1991) and narrative processing (Singer & Bluck, 2001) served as the theoretical foundations of this study and helped examine how scripted news stories involving crime influence levels of fear, anger, and empathy in individuals, and how these emotions subsequently affect behaviors. To measure these framing effects, an experimental manipulation was employed using three conceptually different news stories all involving gun-related crimes. One news story utilized an episodic format, while the other two stories used a thematic format (one positive and one negative). Emotional responses, levels of narrative engagement, policy support, perceived risk of victimization, and pro-social behavioral intentions were measured, all based on exposure to the specific type of news frame. The results of this study indicated that while types of news frames did not have a direct effect on readers' emotions, there was a significant relationship between emotions and future actions. For example, fear, anger, and empathy were significant predictors of perceived risk of victimization, policy support, and pro-social behavioral intentions, respectively. These findings contribute to the understanding of the role emotions play in predicting behavior, both within and beyond the scope of message framing.

PAIVA, Luiz Fábio Silva. Significados da morte: o discurso da imprensa sobre crimes que "abalaram" o Brasil. 2012. 376f. – Tese (Doutorado) – Universidade Federal do Ceará, Programa de Pós-graduação em Sociologia, Fortaleza (CE), 2012. / Submitted by Márcia Araújo (marcia_m_bezerra@yahoo.com.br) on 2013-10-22T11:42:29Z No. of bitstreams: 1 2012-TESE-LFSPAIVA.pdf: 3866054 bytes, checksum: 2ce1bc242428379638adf4d341541dc4 (MD5) / Approved for entry into archive by Márcia Araújo(marcia_m_bezerra@yahoo.com.br) on 2013-10-22T13:21:36Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 2012-TESE-LFSPAIVA.pdf: 3866054 bytes, checksum: 2ce1bc242428379638adf4d341541dc4 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2013-10-22T13:21:36Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 2012-TESE-LFSPAIVA.pdf: 3866054 bytes, checksum: 2ce1bc242428379638adf4d341541dc4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012 / This research reflects on how the media retracted the deaths that have become, due to its effect in the Brazilian press, symbols of violent crimes in such country. The deaths of Daniella Perez, Tim Lopes, João Hélio and Isabella Nardoni are studied from a sociological point of view, based on a comprehensive analysis perspective. As a methodological resource, these events were investigated, from 2008 to 2011, from online contents available on the Internet. The review of available contents privileged the material produced by the Brazilian press available on websites that store and allow access to narratives, speeches and arguments about each of the crimes. The understanding of these contents was based on a critical analysis of speeches produced by multiple instances of news production and broadcast in various media. Each case was studied in its specificity and also allowed a joint analysis of systematicities pertaining to the press work in developing news and meanings about the analyzed crimes. It was observed how the press constructs forms of crime representation from arguments that involve the social recognition of the victims and accused of committing their deaths. It was verified how the media are spaces of political struggle for the establishment of truth and justice in relation to each of the crimes. Furthermore, it was evidenced that news, to the Brazilian press, are ways to communicate, discuss and question on the moral principles underlying the law democratic societies. In this research, it was observed that, when speaking of the deaths, the production instances speak, especially, of lives of people involved in the event. While concerned with communicating the death of a person, the producers of news report to multiple social issues, portraying the subjective aspects that involve each of the cases. By narrating the deaths of Daniella, Tim, João and Isabella, the Brazilian press dwelt on issues surrounding its implementation, printing series of neglected and revealed aspects according to the logic of what the press wants to hide and show on its contents. The ways of communicating the analyzed deaths are permeated with arguments that seek to create a way to see, feel, perceive and act regarding crime in Brazil. / O trabalho reflete sobre como os meios de comunicação retrataram mortes que se tornaram, devido à sua repercussão na imprensa brasileira, símbolos de crimes violentos no País. São estudadas de um ponto de vista sociológico, fundamentadas em uma perspectiva de análise compreensiva, as mortes de Daniella Perez, Tim Lopes, João Hélio e Isabella Nardoni. Como recurso metodológico, esses acontecimentos foram pesquisados, de 2008 a 2011, a partir de conteúdos online disponíveis na Internet. A revisão dos conteúdos disponíveis privilegiou o material produzido pela imprensa brasileira disponível em websites que armazenam e possibilitam acesso a narrativas, discursos e argumentações sobre cada um dos crimes. A compreensão desses conteúdos se fundamentou em uma análise crítica dos discursos produzidos por múltiplas instâncias de produção de notícias e veiculados em diversos tipos de mídia. Cada um dos casos foi estudado em sua especificidade e possibilitou, também, uma análise conjunta das sistematicidades pertinentes ao trabalho da imprensa na elaboração de notícias e sentidos sobre os crimes estudados. Observou-se como a imprensa constrói formas de representação dos crimes a partir de argumentações que implicam na forma de reconhecimento social das vítimas e dos acusados de protagonizarem suas mortes. Verificou-se como os meios de comunicação são espaços de lutas políticas pelo estabelecimento da verdade e da justiça em relação a cada um dos crimes. Ademais, evidenciou-se que as notícias, para a imprensa brasileira, são formas de comunicar, discutir e problematizar sobre os princípios morais que fundamentam as sociedades democráticas de direito. Nessa pesquisa, foi possível observar que, ao falar das mortes, as instâncias de produção falam, sobretudo, da vida das pessoas envolvidas no acontecimento. Enquanto se preocupam em comunicar a morte de uma pessoa, os produtores de notícias se reportam a múltiplas questões sociais, retratando os aspectos subjetivos que envolvem cada um dos casos. Ao narrar as mortes de Daniella, Tim, João e Isabella, a imprensa brasileira discorreu sobre problemáticas que envolveram sua realização, imprimindo séries de aspectos negligenciados e revelados conforme a lógica do que se deseja ocultar e demonstrar em seus conteúdos. As maneiras de comunicar as mortes estudadas são permeadas de argumentos que buscam criar uma maneira de ver, sentir, perceber e agir em relação ao crime no Brasil.
