Agos, l'hebdomadaire bilingue - turc et arménien de la communauté arménienne publié depuis 1996 et Şalom unique journal de la communauté juive publié depuis 1947, ont une importance stratégique en ce qui concerne leurs relations avec les représentants des deux minorités. L’examen de la presse minoritaire dans l'émergence des leaders au sein des communautés minoritaires de Turquie, nous montre que la presse minoritaire peut changer l’opinion de la majorité et créer de nouvelles normes et un mouvement social. Afin de connaître et d’appréhender la représentativité civile de Hrant Dink dans la minorité arménienne, cette recherche essaye d’analyser les dynamiques complexes de la presse minoritaire et nous permet de saisir la démarche de Dink en tant que leader d’opinion de la communauté arménienne. Ainsi nous pourrons démontrer que la presse minoritaire est capable de créer un leader et un journal avec un tirage de moins de deux mille exemplaires peut être une plateforme connue du monde entier et le rédacteur en chef de ce journal peut être une source potentielle d’influence. / Agos, the bilingual Turkish and Armenian weekly newspaper of the Armenian community has published since 1996 and Şalom, the unique weekly newspaper of the Jewish community has published since 1947, have strategic importance in their relations with the representatives of the two minorities. The examination of the minority press in the emergence of leaders in Turkey's minority communities shows that the minority press can change the opinion of the majority and create new norms and a social movement. In order to understand the civil representativeness of Hrant Dink in the Armenian minority, this research tries to analyze the complex dynamics of the minority press and allows us to grasp Dink's approach as an opinion leader of Armenian community. Thus, we can demonstrate that the minority press is capable of creating a leader and a newspaper with a circulation of less than two thousand copies can be a known platform of the whole world and the editor in chief of this newspaper can be a potential source of influence.

Thesis (MPhil (Journalism))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / Abstract: This study analyses the reporting of the Iraqi prisoner abuse issue at Abu Ghraib as reported upon by two South African newspapers from an ethical point of view. The focus falls on the issue of accuracy. Accuracy in war reporting of geographically distant conflicts as exemplified with this case study is a delicate and important matter, the media often being the only window for the public to learn of and about a conflict. In this case study, the two South African newspapers Cape Times and Mail&Guardian will be analysed to show the extent of their adherence to codes of conduct and exemplify the problematic practicalities in ethical reporting on international news. With the main focus of the study being on the ethical issues concerning accuracy, other relevant topics, such as ‘objectivity’, balance, fairness and truth telling, as well as more practical concerns will also be partially considered. The selected case studies are contextualized within the South African media environment so as to yield a better insight into the choices made on an editorial and/or newsroom level. As case studies, selected articles from the Cape Times and the Mail&Guardian during a three-month time-span are analysed using Day’s Situation/Analysis/Decision (SAD) model. Each article will further be analysed from the point of view of the newspaper’s own code of conduct and overarching ethical codes such as the South African Press Ombudsman’s Code of Conduct as well as in terms of the South African laws relevant to the media industry.

Thesis (MPhil) -- Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In a time of uncertainty for newspapers due in part to dwindling circulation, loss of advertising revenue and declining readership, Internet-based technologies have continued to grow. The unprecedented rise of social media, of which Facebook and Twitter are wellknown examples, has not gone unnoticed by the newspaper community. Despite their initial misgivings about the credibility of the information disseminated on these media, mainstream journalists worldwide have gradually started to adopt social media as professional tools. Social media serve as channels that help to funnel information towards journalists. Some newspaper journalists also use these media to broadcast news and promote their personal brands. The continued use of social media on a professional level will arguably have an impact on the daily routines and cultures within a newsroom. Academic research in this area is limited, especially within the South African context. This study explores whether the professional use of social media, with specific reference to Facebook and Twitter, influences the processes and cultures of news selection and presentation at the South Africa newspapers Rapport and the Mail & Guardian. A newsroom study within a social constructionism paradigm employed a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, including self-administered questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and ethnography. The main findings of this study were that the majority of journalists at Rapport and the Mail & Guardian used Facebook and Twitter actively on a professional level – mainly for trend tracking. The newsroom cultures were open and encouraging towards social media use. Journalists were also aware that social media create opportunities for their audiences to challenge the traditional roles of journalists and the realities constructed by the mainstream media. According to the journalists from Rapport and the Mail & Guardian the professional use of social media had not significantly altered their processes of news selection and presentation. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Terwyl koerante ’n onsekere tyd beleef, deels weens dalende sirkulasiesyfers, ’n verlies aan advertensie-inkomste en ’n afname in lesertalle, het Internetgebaseerde tegnologieë aanhou groei. Die ongekende groei van sosial media, waarvan Facebook en Twitter welbekende voorbeelde is, het nie ongesiens by die koerantgemeenskap verby gegaan nie. Ondanks hul aanvanklike bedenkinge oor die geloofwaardigheid van inligting wat op dié media versprei word, het hoofstroomjoernaliste wêreldwyd geleidelik begin om sosiale media as professionele hulpmiddels te aanvaar. Sosial media dien as kanale waardeur inligting na joernaliste vloei. Sommige koerantjoernaliste gebruik ook die media om nuus uit te saai en hul persoonlike handelsmerk te bemark. Die volgehoue gebruik van sosial media op ’n professionele vlak sal bes moontlik ’n impak op die daaglikse roetine en kulture binne ’n nuuskantoor hê. Akademiese navorsing op die gebied is beperk, veral binne die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks. Hierdie navorsing ondersoek of die professionele gebruik van sosiale media, met spesifieke verwysing na Facebook en Twitter, ’n invloed het op die prosesse en kulture van nuusseleksie en -aanbieding by die Suid-Afrikaanse koerante Rapport en die Mail & Guardian. ’n Nuuskantoorstudie, binne ’n sosiale konstruktivisme paradigma, het ’n kombinasie van kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe navorsingsmetodologieë ingespan, insluitende: selfgeadministreerde vraelyste, halfgestruktureerde onderhoude en etnografie. Die hoofbevindinge van die studie was dat die meerderheid van die joernaliste by Rapport en die Mail & Guardian Facebook en Twitter aktief op ’n professionele vlak gebruik het – hoofsaaklik om tendense dop te hou. Die nuuskantoorkulture was oop en aanmoedigend teenoor die gebruik van sosiale media. Joernaliste was ook bewus daarvan dat sosiale media geleenthede skep vir hul gehore om die tradisionele rol van joernaliste, sowel as die realiteite wat deur die hoofstroommedia geskep word, te betwis. Volgens die joernaliste van Rapport en die Mail & Guardian het die professionele gebruik van sosiale media nie hul nuusinsamelings- en aanbiedingsprosesse noemenswaardig beïnvloed nie.

This study investigated the nature of opinions and attitudes expressed in letters to South African newspapers regarding selected incidents of interracial controversy, namely the Botes (2010) and Forum for Black Journalists (FBJ) (2008) incidents. A qualitative and quantitative content analysis of these letters was conducted to gauge the attitudes that writers displayed towards members of their cultural group (ingroup) and members of other cultural groups (outgroups). The results of the qualitative analysis indicated that individuals in a racial group have different perspectives of in- and outgroup members. The results of the quantitative analysis, however, showed that the majority of writers tend to display positive attitudes towards ingroup members and negative attitudes towards out groups. The dominance of positive attitudes towards ingroups and negative attitudes towards outgroups can be attributed to myths and discourses circulating in postapartheid South Africa and the current social climate in general. The study concluded that although individuals’ attitudes may differ from the stark negative attitudes displayed towards outgroups during the apartheid era, negative attitudes towards outgroups persist. / Communication Science / M.

Paulo (OESP), nascido em 13 de março de 2010. Verifica a influência do Suplemento Literário (1956-1974) no novo suplemento do mesmo jornal. Observa de que maneira a retomada do Suplemento Literário contribui para o resgate do prazer pela literatura e pelo conhecimento em tempos de modernidade, de informação rápida, fluída. Para isso, relata a trajetória do Estadão no desenvolvimento de reformas gráficas e editoriais e na criação de cadernos culturais. Descreve o contexto de criação do Sabático e sua história ao longo do primeiro ano de circulação. Verifica se e como o conteúdo do Suplemento está vinculado ao mercado editorial e, consequentemente, à indústria cultural. Discute a relação entre informação e conhecimento a partir da campanha publicitária de 2009 do OESP - "Qual o valor do conhecimento?" -, que antecede a reforma gráfica e editorial do jornal. A pesquisa está ancorada nos conceitos de indústria cultural (Adorno e Horkheimer, 1947), de jornalismo como conhecimento (Meditsch, 1998) e de modernidade líquida (Bauman, 2001). Foi utilizado o método de análise de conteúdo, aplicado em um corpus composto por um ano construído de publicações do Sabático, de 13 de março a 18 de dezembro de 2010. As conclusões apontam para o fato de que o Sabático, embora represente um espaço de debate sobre a literatura (e o mercado editorial de maneira mais ampla) na imprensa brasileira, permitindo a construção de conhecimento erudito em seus leitores, não contribui para ampliar o prazer pela literatura e pelo conhecimento em tempos de modernidade líquida, de informação rápida, tampouco ajuda a disseminar esse prazer. Essa dificuldade se dá, especialmente, devido a dois fatores: 1) a abordagem jornalística noticiosa das pautas se sustenta, prioritariamente, por lançamentos recentes do mercado editorial ou outros acontecimentos relacionados ao tempo presente, limitando o escopo da apreciação literária; 2) o público alvo restrito, tanto do suplemento Sabático quanto do jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, que são voltados para as elites intelectuais e econômicas do Brasil, já abastadas em relação ao acesso ao livro, à leitura e à cultura de modo geral / Abstract: This research makes a reflection on the role of the literary supplement named Sabático, from O Estado de S. Paulo (OESP) newspaper, created on March 13, 2010. It checks the influence of the Suplemento Literário (1956-1974) in the new literary supplement of the same newspaper. It observes how the resumption of the Suplemento Literário helps to bring back the pleasure of literature and knowledge in modern times, times of fast and fluid information. In order to do this, the trajectory of the Estado newspaper in the development of graphic and editorial reforms and in the creation of cultural supplements is described. The context of creation of the Sabático and its history during its first year of circulation are described as well. The research also analyzes if and how the content of the Supplement is linked to the publishing market and, consequently, to the cultural industry. It also discusses the relationship between information and knowledge from the 2009 OESP advertising campaign - "Which is the value of knowledge?" - that proceeds the graphic and editorial reform of the newspaper. The research is anchored in the concepts of cultural industry (Adorno and Horkheimer, 1947), journalism as knowledge (Meditsch, 1998) and liquid modernity (Bauman, 2001). The method of content analysis was applied to a corpus consisting of one constructed year of Sabático publications, from March 13 to December 18, 2010. The conclusions point to the fact that, although Sabático represents a place for literature (and the publishing market, in a broader way) debate in the Brazilian press, allowing the construction of erudite knowledge in its readers, it does not contribute to the increase of the pleasure of literature and knowledge in times of liquid modernity, rapid information, and it doesn't help to spread this pleasure either. This difficulty happens especially due to two factors: 1) the journalistic approach of the subjects exposed in the Supplement is sustained primarily by recent publishing releases or other events related to the present time, limiting the scope of literary appreciation; 2) the restricted target public of both the Sabático supplement and the O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper, which are aimed to the economic and intellectual elites of Brazil, already wealthy in relation to the access to books, reading and culture in general / Mestrado / Divulgação Científica e Cultural / Mestre em Divulgação Científica e Cultural

PhD (English) / Department of English / This study sought to analyse the discourse strategies in the editorials of the Daily Graphic newspaper as texts constructed in an African English as a Second Language (ESL) setting and the editorials of the New York Times of America as texts constructed in an Anglo-American English environment. The objective of the study was to discover the differences and the similarities that exist between the discourse strategies of the editorials of the Daily Graphic newspaper and the editorials of the New York Times. This objective is achieved by analysing five features of text. First, the rhetorical structure of the two editorials were analysed to find out the rhetorical strategies used in composing the editorials. Second, the micro-genre variation between the two editorials was examined. In addition, the thematic development of the two editorials was carried out. Also, the study investigated the rhetorical appeals preferred by the editorials from the two different socio-cultural settings. Finally, as newspaper editorials, the use of attribution was studied to find out how the editorials disclose the sources of their information to make it clear to their readers where they get their information from. The findings of the study revealed some differences and some similarities in the discourse strategies employed by the two editorials. The Daily Graphic as a newspaper published in an ESL setting in Africa exhibited the unique use of some discourse features that reflect the socio-cultural setting different from that of the New York Times as a newspaper published in the socio-cultural environment of Anglo-American English. / NRF
