This thesis sheds light on the ways in which audiences are made through the relationships between organisational policy and news production practice. It explores the relationships between news practitioners� perceptions and definitions of audiences, production, and organisational policies, using the radio news service of the Australian national public broadcaster, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). In so doing, the thesis demonstrates that production, in its institutional context, is a crucial site for the creation of audiences in the study of news journalism. In the process, it illuminates the role of public service broadcasting, in a world of digital media The conceptual framework utilises a new approach to framing analysis. Framing has been used to examine the news "agenda" and to identify the salient aspects of news events. This thesis demonstrates ways in which framing can be used to research important processes in news production at different levels, from policy level to that of professional culture, and generate insights to the relationship between them. The accumulated evidence of the bulletin analysis - using structural and rhetorical frames of news - field observation and interviews, shows that a specific and coherent audience can be constructed as a result of newsroom work practices in combination with organisational policies. The thesis has increased knowledge and understanding both of how news workers create images of their audiences and what the institutional factors are that influence the manufacture of audiences as they appear in the text of news bulletins.

Pela primeira vez em décadas, a RBS TV tem sido ameaçada nos índices de audiência no Rio Grande do Sul. Embora ainda mantenha sua liderança consolidada, vê o crescimento periódico da TV Record desde que esta se instalou no Estado, em julho de 2007. A característica do trabalho da Record tem sido combater a líder através de uma programação popular, que se reflete também em seu telejornalismo local. Este trabalho propõe uma reflexão a respeito do Balanço Geral, principal programa do gênero dentro da programação da emissora, e tentar compreender os motivos de seu sucesso, que o leva, por vezes, a empatar e até mesmo ultrapassar a emissora hegemônica, algo incomum nas últimas quatro décadas. Analisaremos o programa através de uma análise de conteúdo de quatro edições, que levará em conta dados como fontes utilizadas nas matérias, o imaginário urbano representado no programa, os locais onde os fatos que viram notícia acontecem e os comentários feitos pelo apresentador Alexandre Mota, ícone dentro desta nova proposta da Record, antes e após a exibição do conteúdo jornalístico, para tentar compreender como ele se aproxima e se identifica com seu público, formado majoritariamente por cidadãos das classes C, D e E da capital gaúcha e arredores. / For the first time in decades, RBS TV has been challenged in its ratings in Rio Grande do Sul. Although it still maintains the leadership, it has been threatened by the gradual growth of Record TV ever since it began broadcasting in the state in July of 2007. Record TV has been fighting for audience through a popular program style which also reflected in its local TV news programs. This dissertation involves the analysis of “Balanço Geral”, the main popular show of the channel, attempting to understand the reasons for its good ratings which sometimes reaches levels that are above the hegemonic TV channel, something uncommon in the past four decades. The program is assessed through the analysis of four editions and takes into account data such as the sources used, the urban imagery represented in the show, the sites where the news takes place and the comments made by its host Alexandre Mota, an icon of its new style, before and after the presentation of the journalistic content, in order to understand how he approaches and connects with his audience – mainly the lower classes of the state capital and nearby communities.

Orientador: Mauro de Souza Ventura / Resumo: O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar os valores-notícia adotados pelo Jornal de Londrina para lidar com questões urbanas da cidade de Londrina, como o uso e ocupação do solo, a questão ambiental e suas relações com a indústria da construção civil e o setor imobiliarista. O recorte usado foram os últimos três anos de funcionamento do jornal, que circulou entre julho de 1989 e dezembro de 2015. Esse recorte permitiu a seleção de 121 reportagens, divididas em oito temas que têm relação com essa agenda do jornal. Desses, dois temas foram escolhidos para serem analisados à luz dos valores-notícia, por se tratarem de situações mais conflituosas e que tratam de desvios legais e relevância, remetendo a dois dos valores-notícia mais importantes que aparecem desde os primeiros estudos acadêmicos sobre o jornalismo. O debate sobre os valores-notícia foi feito a partir da discussão proposta por cinco autores: Gisele Silva, Marcos Paulo da Silva, Pamela Shoemaker, Mauro Wolf e Nelson Traquina. Esses autores foram escolhidos porque suas reflexões apontam para um modelo de valores-notícia operacional e de fácil aplicação à prática cotidiana das redações. / Abstract: The objective of this research is to investigate the news values adopted by Jornal de Londrina to deal with urban issues in the city of Londrina, such as land use and occupation, the environmental issue and its relations with the construction industry and the real estate sector.

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.

We design a complete interactive television news system. We develop a news production system that allows for the creation of flexible, content-rich interactive news. This system embraces a general creation process to interactive news that is built on top of a newscast model that evolves from and conforms with the current production newscast model. It allows for content sharing and content reuse. We also create an interactive news viewing system that adapts well to a living room environment. It contains several interactive features designed to give the viewer control and allow them to watch the news when, where, and how they want to. We perform a formative evaluation through a user study and interviews. Our results show that the production system allows fast, quality construction of interactive news. Viewers enjoy the interactivity and control the viewing system provides, but more work needs to be done to improve ease of use. Our system increases extra content visibility and usage over previous studies through additional features, more content, and direct invites to viewers. We also produce and deliver the news over an entire two-week period to a large number of viewers, making it the largest study done according to our knowledge.
