The research and statistics gathered in this thesis begin in 2000. Newspapers began experiencing change due to technology before 2000. However, the information necessary to complete this thesis only goes back to that year. Since the year 2000, the newspaper industry has struggled to adapt to the age of ever-changing technology. Newspapers across the US, including large and well-established publications have been forced to find new strategies that allow them to keep up with new digital technologies. The New York Times was the focus of this study, but it is only one part of a very large industry. However, it is one of the most successful papers of the digital age and offers a thorough look into the newspaper industry. Therefore, its strategies to adapt to digital and its overall business model were compared to newspapers throughout the nation. The intent of this thesis is to have a better understanding of the future of the newspaper industry in the digital age, including newspapers in small, medium and large markets. A look into The New York Times’ history provides a better understanding of how newspapers have already been affected by the digital age, and its business model offers guidance for other newspapers on how to adapt. This thesis focused on analyzing at least one newspaper to represent each market including a small, medium and large market newspaper then determining if the methods The New York Times uses would be adaptable and scalable to their newspapers. This thesis determines which newspapers could use The New York Times’ strategies to their benefit and draws conclusions on the future of the newspaper industry as a whole.

The 1980’s were troublesome years for the Nicaraguan Sandinist government and its citizens. After accomplishing the task of overthrowing the 43 years of Somoza rule in Nicaragua, a new challenge was waiting in the shape of the American war against communism. The former Somoza National Guard transformed into the notorious contras, also known as the CIA- and American government-backed freedom fighters who worked hard to recoup the nation and halter the socialist movement in the Central Americas. Today in 2007 the world knows what kind of interventions the Sandinist rule stood victims of; air-raids, sabotage, embargos and mining of the Nicaraguan harbour. Eventually the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that the United States should immediately cease and refrain from any action restricting access to or from Nicaraguan ports, and, in particular, the laying of mines. But what did the American public know about its country’s silent war against Nicaragua? This is the core question of this paper. How did the media, and more specifically, how did one of the largest American newspapers the New York Times present the events in Nicaragua to its readers? This essay examines New York Times-headlines and articles covering the years between 1979-1990 in the Nicaraguan history, by means of using the agenda-setting theory, developed by Maxwell McCombs in cooperation with his colleagues Don Shaw and David Weaver. The results of this study will show confirmation of how the New York Times framed the nation of Nicaragua into a communist framework, describing the country as a authentic threat against the American society and its values. The information provided by the New York Times during this era played without doubt a key role in the construction of the American public’s visions of the Nicaraguan reality. By using attributes when mentioning Nicaragua such as “Cuba”, “the threat of nuclear war”, “Soviet” and “communism”, the American public opinion most certainly came to reflect and support the media agenda. To paraphrase McCombs, ‘The media set the agenda when they are successful in riveting attention on a problem. They build the public agenda when they supply the context that determines how people think about the issue and evaluates its merits.’

This thesis sets out to investigate the representation of smartphones by one of the biggest English daily newspapers of the world – the New York Times – and further sheds light on the potential influence the newspaper has on the norms of smartphone behavior. The research is conducted in two parts. For the first research question through a quantitative and the second research question a qualitative content analysis of New York Times articles about smartphones from the years 2007 and 2016. For the content analysis as well as the analysis of the results three different theoretical frameworks are applied: Stuart Hall’s (1997b) representation theory, McGuire’s (2001) media effect factors and social norms theory, mainly according to Cristina Bicchieri (2017). Since assumptions on the outcome of research question one exist on the grounds of previous research conducted in the field, two hypotheses were formed:H1 – In 2007 the coverage of smartphones will be mainly positive and focus on technological aspects.H2 – In 2016 the coverage will be more critical about the consequences of the pervasion and influence of the smartphone in society.The main findings of the thesis are, for research question one, a validation of the hypotheses through the quantitative content analysis and application of the representation theory through which a distinction in the representation of the smartphones denotation and connotation could be made. And for research question two, that the strongest potential of influence on norms of smartphone behavior lies in conveying and updating and thus sometimes changing of empirical and normative expectations together with further intertwined factors.

Denna uppsats kommer att fokusera på propaganda utifrån tidningsmedian New York Times under Operation Market Garden. Detta skedde under de sista faserna av andra världskriget. Studien argumenterar om opinionsbildning inom Market Garden. Eftersom de allierade inte hade lyckats med sitt strategiska mål att invadera Nazityskland från Nederländerna, samt avsluta kriget före jul, så hade propagandanätverket hittat olika tillvägagångssätt och följa utvecklingen under och efter operationen för att blidka hemmafronten. Genom att analysera på New York Times kommer uppsatsen att ge ett nytt perspektiv på hur militära misslyckanden rapporterades, samt hur diskurser förändras på kort tid under krigstid. Med stöd från tidigare forskning kommer uppsatsen också ge ett förståelse hur New York Times och andra media rapportage kunde censureras från krigsministeriet med mål att skydda läsarna från demoraliserade nyheter som kunde skada hemmafrontens disciplin från att stödja krigsinsatsen.

Neste sentido, a problematização é feita através da intuição em Bergson (2006) que levou à formulação do jornalismo audiovisual como um virtual que se atualiza em diversas mídias e particularmente na web. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender que sentidos são dados ao jornalismo audiovisual na web através da análise dos portais do New York Times e do BuzzFeed feita com a metodologia das molduras (KILPP, 2010). Na desconstrução das imagens percebeu-se caminhos diferentes nas tentativas da apropriação do meio em um estágio transitório da técnica que ao mesmo tempo em que experimenta as lógicas da rede recicla os imaginários mais tradicionais de construção do jornalismo tendo o audiovisual no centro desses processos. / It is a time of constant changes in communication and journalism, especially with internet and technology. This research intends to understand technoculture of new media (MANOVICH, 2001, 2013) on audiovisual journalism on web. The problems were based on the method of intuition (BERGSON, 2006) that lead to the understanding of audiovisual journalism as a virtual that updated itself on several media, particularly on web. This paper aims to understand what senses are given to audiovisual journalism on web through the analysis of New York Times and BuzzFeed with the frame method (KILPP, 2010). In the deconstructing of images, it was realized different paths on the attempts of ownership of the medium in a transitory stage of the technique that at the same time experiments network logic and recycles traditional imaginaries of the journalism construction having the audiovisual as center of these process.

This study conducted a framing research that analyzed coverage of the bird flu (avian flu) in China by two major American newspapers that are influential in China (The New York Times and Washington Post). The goal was to examine how these two prestigious newspapers frame the bird flu epidemic in China and how they represent the country in this international health crisis. This study employed textual analysis regarding the way bird flu news articles were framed in terms of problem definition, causal explanation, moral evaluation and solution recommendations in both newspapers. The study found the epidemic was framed as more than just a public health crisis. Multiple news frames were found in both newspapers' coverage of bird flu, depicting the event as a cultural, social and political crisis to the nation and to the world.
