Cultural framing of news : from earthquake to nuclear crisis in JapanKajimoto, Masato January 2014 (has links)
This thesis examines the news coverage of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis that devastated the country of Japan in March 2011 from a comparative standpoint. Drawing on the key concepts in the theory of social constructionism and frame analysis, the series of studies in this thesis comparatively examines how cultures and value systems factored into the process of news production, dissemination and consumption when it comes to the news stories on what the Japanese government officially named the Great East Japan Earthquake.
The first section looks at how Japan and its people were portrayed amid disaster relief efforts and analyzes how culture itself has become the topic of discussion and part of reality construction. The second section, on frame analysis, focuses on the workers at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, often called the Fukushima 50 by the Western media, and examines the cultural characteristics that contributed to the observable discrepancies in the ways they were represented by the Japanese media and their Western counterparts.
The third study aims to shed light on the environment surrounding today’s foreign correspondents and international news reporting in the context of Japan, investigating what factors influence the ways journalist go about reporting and framing their versions of realities. The fourth section attempts to deconstruct the news narratives in terms of risk communication by paying particular attention to how people reacted to the coverage of potential dangers of radiation leaks as well as the tsunami warnings in Tohoku area.
In the end, the series of studies described above underlines how cultural factors significantly affected the ways in which the journalists covered Japan in 2011 as well as the ways news audiences understood what was going on. The thesis argues that there are two types of cultural faming that contributed greatly to the social construction of realities in the aftermath of the triple disasters.
The first type of cultural framing was observed when reporters consistently made the culture of Japan and its supposedly “unique” values as the main frame of news narratives. It often implied that the Japanese culture was somewhat exotic or alien through foreign eyes. The second type of cultural framing was observed when the cultural dispositions of journalists and audience framed the potential risk such as the incoming tsunami and the vital newsmakers such as workers in Fukushima Daiichi using familiar cultural molds. The finding accentuated the intricacy and precarious nature of “realities” in news reports. The research also indicated that when cultural factors in news process dictate and determine the focal point of reality perception, they tend to bring about racial discussions and stereotypical images in narratives. / published_or_final_version / Sociology / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

Framing ethanol : a content analysis comparing national and regional media coverage of ethanolSmith, Courtney E. January 2008 (has links)
The main purpose of this research study was to compare national and regional newspaper coverage of the issue of ethanol. The methodology used in this study was content analysis. Newspaper articles were the units of analysis. Newspaper articles printed in four national newspapers and four regional newspapers located in the top ethanol producing states in the United States were collected from a LexisNexis Academic database and analyzed. Newspaper articles were analyzed in terms of article source, size, placement in terms of section and page number, headline and author attributes, the number and types of sources included in each story, overall article tone and themes. Results from the content analysis found no significant correlations between national and regional newspapers and the tone, source types and themes of ethanol articles. Data did show differences in other affective attributes attached to the issue of ethanol. / Department of Journalism

Verantwoordelike misdaadverslaggewing : op soek na etiese riglyneVan Niekerk, Petrus, Van Niekerk, Piet 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Crime reporting creates a set of unique challenges within journalism in general.
Generally inexperienced journalists are assigned to the crime beat in South African
newsrooms. A lack of knowledge and absence of codes of ethical conduct create a reality
wherein crime reporting more than often causes more harm than good.
Within the existing media ethical debate, ethical reflections about responsible crime
reporting will go a long way to stimulate thought on responsible crime reporting and help
to formulate guidelines for ethical crime reporting in the future.
In this project the debate on responsible crime reporting starts by illuminating where
crime-reporting slots into the traditional philosophical ethical debate before a distinction
is made between law and ethics. The way laws influence ethical crime reporting - if at all
- is analysed.
The crime reporter's relationship towards his employer, his community, the state and
victims of crime creates a complex maze of responsibilities. After analysing these
complex relationships, existing codes of conduct and the unique challenges within the
South African context are evaluated.
A set of case studies creates the opportunity to list factors needed to be taken into
account, before proposing guidelines that will create a positive atmosphere for pro / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Midsdaadverslaggewing stel unieke uitdagings aan verslaggewers. Onervare joernaliste
word in Suid-Afrikaanse nuuskantore met die misdaad-rondte opgesaal. Uit onkunde en
weens 'n algemene gebrek aan etiese riglyne word misdaadverslaggewing dikwels op só
'n manier bedryf dat dit eerder skade as goed berokken.
Binne die breër media-etiese debat kan 'n etiese besinning oor misdaadverslaggewing 'n
bydrae lewer tot nadenke oor verantwoordelike misdaadverslaggewing, sowel as tot die
ontwikkeling van riglyne wat verantwoordelike misdaadverslaggewing vir die toekoms
kan kweek.
Die debat oor verantwoordelike misdaadverslaggewing begin in dié werkstuk deur
misdaadverslaggewing te beskou binne die tradisionele filosofiese debat oor etiek.
Daarna word gekyk na die verband tussen wette en etiek en watter- indien enigeinvloed
wette op verantwoordelike misdaadverslaggewing het.
Die misdaadverslaggewer se verhouding tot sy werkgewer, sy gemeenskap, die staat en
slagoffers van misdaad plaas hom in 'n komplekse posisie wat betref sy
verantwoordelikhede. Nadat hierdie verantwoordelikheidsvelde uitgespel is, word gekyk
na bestaande riglyne en die unieke komplikasies in Suid-Afrika op soek na riglyne vir
verantwoordelike misdaadverslaggewing. Nadat enkele gevallestudies ontleed is, word voorstelle gedoen oor die faktore wat in ag
geneem behoort te word ten opsigte van verantwoordelike misdaadverslaggewing. Dit
bring die werkstuk tot uiteindelike voorstelle oor hoe 'n gunstige milieu in Suid-
Afrikaanse nuuskantore geskep kan word vir die kweek van verantwoordelike
misdaadverslaggewing.

An Examination of the Coverage of HIV/AIDS in Uganda's Top NewspapersNapakol, Angella January 2011 (has links)
The following thesis examined the coverage of HIV/AIDS in Uganda's top newspapers. Both evidence from previous literature and this study shows that HIV/ AIDS is a dangerous social, health, and demographic problem which has received varied media attention over the years. This study sought to investigate the different frames used in HIV/ AIDS news stories, the major themes associated with HIV/ AIDS, the different risk groups identified in the news stories, and the different preventatives/correctives provided in the HIV/AIDS news stories so as to discover what has been emphasized or de-emphasized in order to help
the media become more valuable in HIV/ AIDS prevention. While some findings were consistent with previous literature, some were different. The general coverage of HIV/ AIDS news stories was low, with a fluctuating trend in the four-year period. The thematic frame emerged as the most used frame in both The New Vision and The Monitor. The themes of prevention, treatment, prevalence, awareness, moral issue, and stigma and discrimination appeared more frequently. Among the risk groups that appeared most were
children, married couples. and women while some preventatives/correctives that appeared more frequently were diagnosis and antiretroviral therapy. The married couples appeared most in the risk group category for example. This group is a recent addition to the HIV/ AIDS risk group and has quickly become predominant as illustrated by this study hence showing that the concentration of HIV/ AIDS is constantly changing.

Media social responsibility and risk communication : a critical analysis of newspaper headlines of the SARS outbreakAllender, Margaret 01 January 2005 (has links)
This study analyzed headlines in three influential newspapers to assess how those publications exercised media social responsibility in reporting the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The situation posed the common media paradox where inherent news values encourage dramatic reports and escalation of conflict that, in tum, are criticized as irresponsible. The particular circumstances surrounding the SARS outbreak presented an opportunity for media social responsibility through public education and conveying perspective about risk from the disease.
This study developed an analytical framework to evaluate the extent of fearful language, style of communication about risk of the disease, use of source material, and prevalence of journalistic normative behaviors. The analysis indicates that personal fear responses of journalists may influence the use of frightening language in news headlines. The study found that in early stages of reporting about the disease, journalists relied on overtly fearful language with little analysis or situational context. As the story became more familiar, even though the factual circumstances did not change, headlines revealed more efforts to communicate productively about risk and less use of explicit fearful terminology. However, most of the headlines demonstrated reliance on traditional news-gathering behaviors emphasizing conflict, controversy and human interest, rather than analysis and interpretation. Political controversy stemming from concerns about disease management by the Chinese government often prevailed over headlines representing socially responsible information about health protection or risk perspective.
This study affirms the importance of media in public education during health crises. It also suggests journalists would benefit from better understanding risk communication principles and the influence of personal fear responses on their reporting. Additionally, the study demonstrates that the concept of media social responsibility deserves to be reconsidered in contemporary terms, to better guide both journalists and those charged with developing communication strategies during such circumstances.
