La presente investigación analiza la cobertura periodística de los diarios El Comercio y La República en relación a las marchas que hubo en noviembre de 2020 en contra de la presidencia de Manuel Merino. Este suceso remeció la política del país, de tal manera que los medios de comunicación peruanos y extranjeros informaron, minuto a minuto y en tiempo real, los acontecimientos que se iban sucediendo. En el caso de las plataformas web de los periódicos mencionados, se observó que el tratamiento de la información fue diferente en cada medio. En el presente trabajo se estudian un total de 56 notas informativas web (entre ambos diarios) que permiten describir, analizar y comparar cómo cada medio construyó el sentido de la noticia sobre este acontecimiento crucial en la reciente historia política peruana contemporánea. / This investigation analyzes the journalistic coverage of the newspapers El Comercio and La República in relation to the marches that took place in November 2020 against the presidency of Manuel Merino.

Ce mémoire porte sur le rôle que jouent les médias de masse dans la construction de la personnalité publique des nouveaux chefs de partis politiques. Lorsqu’un individu est nommé à la tête d’un parti politique, il est la plupart du temps peu connu du grand public. Or, comme une écrasante majorité de citoyens n’a jamais l’occasion d’entrer en contact directement avec les hommes et les femmes politiques, c’est exclusivement par le biais des médias que la plupart des gens apprennent à connaître leurs représentants politiques – ou ceux qui aspirent à jouer ce rôle. Or les médias ne se contentent pas de répéter ce que les politiciens disent. Les informations qu’ils décident d’inclure dans leurs reportages, les mots qu’ils utilisent et les cadrages qu’ils retiennent contribuent à définir la personnalité des leaders émergents dont ils parlent. Les médias choisissent aussi de mettre l’accent sur certains traits de personnalité et décident d’en ignorer d’autres. Afin de mieux comprendre ce phénomène, nous avons étudié le cas de l’ex-chef du Parti québécois, André Boisclair. Nous avons cherché à savoir si la couverture dont ce dernier a fait l’objet a été stable ou si elle a suivi certains cycles, et nous nous sommes intéressés aux critères retenus par les médias pour évaluer sa personnalité. Pour ce faire, nous avons étudié le volume, le format, le ton, les objets et les cadrages qui caractérisent la couverture dont a été l’objet André Boisclair à l’antenne de la Société Radio-Canada et du Réseau TVA entre le 4 juin 2005 et le 21 février 2007. Nos conclusions sont à l’effet que la couverture a bel et bien suivi un cycle, et que les critères retenus par les médias sont très similaires à ceux qui sont réputés être importants pour la population dans le choix d’un leader politique. / This thesis focuses on the role played by mass media in the construction of the public personality of emerging leaders. When a political party chooses a new leader, this leader is often known by very few people. Since a majority of citizens rarely has the occasion to interact directly with political figures, it is exclusively through the media that most people are able to get acquainted with those who represent them – and with those who aspire to play that role. But the media do not only repeat what politicians say. The pieces of information they decide to include in their stories, the words they use, and the frames they select contribute to the definition of the public personality of the leaders they talk about. News media also choose to put the emphasis on particular personality traits, and to ignore others. In order to have a better understanding of this phenomenon, we have studied the case of former Parti québécois leader, André Boisclair. We have tried to determine if the coverage he was object of has been stable over time, or if it has followed cycles, and we have studied the criteria used by the media to assess his personality. To achieve these ends, we have studied the volume, the format, the tone, the objects and the frames, which have characterized the coverage broadcasted on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the TVA Network between June 4, 2005 and February 21, 2007 about André Boisclair. Our conclusions show that the coverage indeed follows cycles, and that the criteria used by the news media are very similar to those which have already been identified as important to the public in the selection of a political leader.

Diploma thesis "Changing of a Media Coverage of the Iraq War ("Second Gulf War") in a Czech press in the Period 2003-2008" deals with news media position and their activities during the Second Gulf War. The goal of the thesis is to explain the media power during the public opinion influencing. This is the reason why the theoretical part of the thesis deals with a propaganda, agenda-setting function of the mass media and media framing. The Iraq war was the reaction to the September 11th 2001 events and president Bush claimed the war against global terrorism. This is the reason why the thesis deals with sociology of terrorism and connection of terrorism and the news media. Influencing of a public opinion deals with an extensive propaganda campaign of the USA and the UK politics in connection with an agenda-setting function of the mass media by political and media agendas. The goal of the analytical part of the thesis is to find media framing in Czech daily newspapers called Mladá fronta Dnes and Lidové noviny. Quantitative and qualitative research combination is focused on the Second Gulf War changing of media coverage during the six year period started by the allied invasion to the Iraq and ending by George Bush leaving a presidency.

Thesis (MPhil (Journalism))--University of Stellenbosch, 2008. / Scientists predict that the Western Cape region of South Africa is likely to be one of the regions most affected by climate change. Though the effects on the Cape Floral Kingdom are a huge concern in terms of biodiversity, the effects of climate change are predicted to be far broader than the natural environment. Agriculture, industry, the health sector, politics and the socio-economic sectors among others are all likely to be significantly impacted by climate change in the coming years. The underlying theoretical assumption of the study is that understanding how the climate question has been understood and framed is of vital importance for how the general public will be able to respond to lifestyle changes in aid of climate protection.This study examines the media coverage of climate change over the period of one year in the Western Cape media context, specifically the Cape Times, the Cape Argus and Die Burger. Using a quantitative framing analysis as the central methodology, the study focused on six core frames in analysing all articles relating to climate change. In addition, journalists at the respective newspapers were interviewed to complement the textual analysis. Finally, climate change scientists were interviewed in order to gain their perspectives of the reporting. The study found that the environmental frame was the dominant frame chosen. The political and scientific frames were the next two most prominent frames. It is argued that the dominance of these frames and the comparative lack of reports featuring the human impact frame is problematic as the environment, science and politics are all fairly abstract to the general public.

Cette recherche interroge la perception du phénomène des déplacés environnementaux dans les pays industrialisés à partir de l'observation de deux catastrophes en Italie. L'analyse de la gestion environnementale et de la vulnérabilité dans le contexte italien, ainsi qu'une étude qualitative sur la couverture médiatique, les discours politiques et le vécu des déplacements environnementaux causés par deux coulées de boue à Sarno (en 1998) et à Cerzeto (en 2005), ont révélé les limites de l'usage de ce concept. De plus, cette recherche a montré que ces déplacements se produisent également dans des pays industrialisés, contrairement aux débats théoriques, aux discours politiques et aux représentations médiatiques actuels, qui se focalisent sur les contextes géographiques spécifiques des pays en développement. Les raisons expliquant les différences dans les discours sur ce même phénomène sont ici enquêtées, avec des instruments propres à la géographie et à la science politique. Les resultats de l'analyse révèlent un dessein politique qui vise à instrumentaliser le débat dans le but de renforcer le déséquilibre des pouvoirs politiques dans les pays industrialisés et entre ces derniers et les pays en développement. / This research investigates how the environmentally induced displacement phenomenon is perceived in the Global North on the basis of the evidence gathered in in two Italian catatsrophes. An analysis on the environmental resources management and the vulnerability in Italy has been associated with a study over media coverage, political discourses and personal experiences about environmentally induced displacements following the two landslides in Sarno (1998) and Cerzeto (2005), highlighting the limits of the use of this concept. Moreover, this research illustrated how, contrarily to the current debate, the phenomenon is likely to occur both in the Global North and Global South contexts. The theoretical, political and media discourses and representations seem to be, in fact, mostly focused on specific geographical areas of the Global South. The motivations behind these different descriptions and narratives on the same concept are investigated, through geographical and political science tools. The findings of this research reveal a political agenda exploiting the debate to reinforce the power unbalance within the Global North and between the Global North and the Global South. / La presente ricerca analizza la percezione del fenomeno dei profughi ambientali nel Paesi del Nord a partire dall'osservazione di due casi italiani. L'analisi della gestione ambientale e della vulnerabilità in Italia, associata ad uno studio qualitativo sul trattamento mediatico, i discorsi politici e l'esperienza personale inerente al fenomeno dei profughi ambientali causati dalle frane di Sarno (1998) e Cerzeto (2005), ha messo in evidenza i limiti della definizione di questo concetto. Inoltre, lo studio dimostra in che modo il fenomeno si produca anche nel Nord del Mondo, contrariamente al dibattito teorico, ai discorsi politici e alle rappresentazioni mediatiche correnti che tendono a focalizzarsi su specifiche aree geografiche del Sud, utilizzando una narrativa mono-causale e deterministica. Le motivazioni che spiegano le diverse concettualizzazioni di uno stesso fenomeno sono qui analizzate, attraverso degli strumenti propri alla geografia e alla scienza politica. I risultati di questo studio rivelano un disegno politico che mira a strumentalizzare il dibattito in modo da rinforzare l'asimmetria di potere nei Paesi del Nord e tra questi e i Paesi del Sud.
