The economic powerhouse of China is increasingly showing characteristics of a market style economy. The country’s media is also heading this way with all of its newspapers, which are entirely owned by the Chinese Government, now becoming more commercially driven, especially due to subsidy cuts in 2003. This study looks at a collection of data which display a rapid growth of private enterprise in China since 1989. The data results also show Chinese newspapers to have a narrower range of sources in financial reporting than do non-Chinese newspapers – those foreign language papers in China and newspapers from another country. This narrow sourcing of stories is taken to be an indicator of the quality of the Chinese financial reporting. It finds that the sample of Chinese newspapers was far more likely to use Chinese Government sources than non-Chinese newspapers. This study suggests then, that the non-Chinese press is more likely to display quality reporting based on their use of non-government sources, and that this outcome is likely to benefit both their own economic interests and those who consume that press content.

Darbe aptariama verslo žurnalistikos genezė pasaulyje, analizuojamos jos atsiradimo prielaidos bei vystymosi tendencijos. Apžvelgiami Lietuvos verslo leidiniai nuo pat jų atsiradimo iki šių dienų. Plačiau aptariama verslo žurnalistikos ideologija – santykis su viešuoju interesu, pagrindinės funkcijos, žurnalistų profesionalizacijos problemos bei nevieningas terminijos vartojimas. Pristatoma jos sąveika su praktika – čia analizuojami verslo žurnalistikos, kaip galios įrankio poveikiai, kapitalo įtaka verslo leidiniams, leidėjams bei verslui skirtų leidinių funkcijų kitimas – komercializacija. Praktinėje darbo dalyje atskleidžiamas verslo leidinių komercializacijos mastas bei verslo organizacijos UAB „AG Group“ pozicionavimas juose. Darbas paremtas kiekybiniais ir kokybiniais tyrimais. Įvairiais aspektais analizuojamos publikacijos, susijusios su verslo objektu keturiuose skaitomiausiuose verslo leidiniuose Lietuvoje – laikraštyje „Verslo žinios“ bei žurnaluose „Versus“, „Verslo klasė“ ir „Valstybė“. Pusiau struktūruotuose interviu su organizacijos komunikacijos skyriaus darbuotojais pristatomos verslo objekto komunikacijos skyriaus pagrindinės strategijos, tikslai, uždaviniai bei įmonės pozicionavimas verslo leidiniuose. Tyrimas atskleidė, kad verslo leidiniuose dominuojančios temos apie įmonę - produkcijos pozicionavimas. Didžioji dalis šių publikacijų neturi autorių arba turi vieną šaltinį – tai užsakomųjų straipsnių požymis. Tokios tendencijos, kad verslo struktūros...

The main discussion concerns the ideological principles of business journalism – relations with public interest, problematical questions about the professionalization of journalists and the use of terminology. The result of interaction between ideology and journalism - businees journalism is presented like a tool of power in the media field.

The result of the investigation - the main themes in the publications are commercial and they are not objective. The goals of department of public communication differs from those, which are presented in the business media. The company affects the business media.

La médiatisation des activités boursières suscite un regain d’intérêt en sciences humaines et sociales. Cette thèse aborde ce sujet sous l’angle de sa formation historique : nous cherchons à décrire le processus de codification d’une écriture journalistique. En France, la chronique boursière a une date de naissance. Le 29 janvier 1838, le banquier et idéologue saint-simonien Isaac Pereire publie une « Revue de la Bourse de Paris » dans le Journal des débats. Vingt ans plus tard, chaque grand quotidien généraliste emploie un chroniqueur boursier ou bulletinier, qui se rend quotidiennement aux séances du Palais Brongniart. Ainsi se trouvent posés les termes d’une acceptabilité : la chronique boursière se dote graduellement des traits d’une rubrique journalistique standardisée. Le sous-titre de notre thèse en énonce les trois objectifs principaux. Il est successivement question de situer l’avènement du journalisme boursier dans le cadre d’une métamorphose générale des cultures textuelles, de décrire le développement d’une écriture journalistique de la donnée et enfin, de rendre compte de l’état des archives numérisées, qui nous parviennent sous la forme d’un journalisme en données. Nous avons souhaité tirer parti de la numérisation massive de la presse ancienne pour constituer des corpus élargis. À partir de notre application Pyllica, nous avons pu récupérer les chroniques boursières hebdomadaires du Journal des débats parues de 1838 à 1870. Le traitement automatisé des données textuelles (ou text mining) permet de situer avec précision les évolutions structurelles de procédés stylistiques. Cette thèse se présente ainsi comme une contribution à l’étude informatisée des poétiques journalistiques. / The mediatization of stock exchange activities has stirred a renewed interest in social sciences. This doctoral thesis tackles this topic through its historical development : it aims to describe the codification of a journalistic writing. In France, the stock exchange section has its Anno Dominici : on the 29th January 1838, the businessman and saint-simonian thinker Isaac Pereire launches a « Revue de la Bourse de Paris » in the Journal des débats. Twenty years later, each significant French daily has recruited a stock exchange chronicler. The main purpose of our work consist in identifying the factors that brought a shapeless text into a standard journalistic section. The subtitle of this thesis addresses three subsequent ambitions : to clarify the general setting that has allowed the creation of financial journalism, to analyze the establishment of a vintage form of “data journalism” and, then, to indicate that this older form of “data journalism” has been read as a set of data. The massive digitization of old newspapers has created the opportunity to study wider corpora. We developed an application, Pyllica, to scrap the collections of the French National Library and were able to store in a database all the weekly stock exchange sections published in the Journal des Débats from 1838 to 1870. The use of text mining techniques has allowed to determine precisely the evolution of stylistic and editorial motives. This thesis thus appears as a general contribution to the digital study of newspaper poetics.
