In Ethiopia people are highly dependent on natural resources which often lead to environmental degradation. The perception is that environmental degradation is partly due to lack of environmental awareness. The level of environmental awareness and the role of the media in creating awareness in Kembata Tembaro Administrative zone were investigated. Quantitative and qualitative methodologies were used to identify sources of environmental knowledge, content, spatial extent, volume and priority of media coverage, impact of media, and expectation of audiences and producers. Experience, rather than outside sources, such as provided by the media, is the main source of environmental information, but awareness is key to reduce further environmental degradation. Environmental media programs should be transmitted at suitable times and the experiences of successful farmers in natural resources conservation and development should be shared. Attention should also be given to identification of awareness obstacles and training and sensitizing of journalists on environment issues

O período é de particular relevância porque nele, mais precisamente em agosto de 1956, foi criada a Escola de Teatro, primeira no país ligada a uma instituição de nível superior, a então Universidade da Bahia. Esta iniciativa abriu o caminho para que procedimentos do teatro moderno (papel do encenador, tipos de atuação, uso da iluminação elétrica, entre outros) fossem trabalhados sistematicamente nas artes cênicas de Salvador. Durante cinco anos - num período também conhecido como 'era Martim Gonçalves', numa referência ao primeiro diretor da unidade - as mudanças ocorrem tanto no exercício da cena, quanto na cobertura jornalística. A Escola de Teatro marca a transição de um período no qual o teatro era entendido como uma atividade amadora e diletante, para o reconhecimento de seu trabalho como um campo autônomo, profissional e artisticamente. Logo depois, em 1959, é criada a primeira companhia profissional da cidade: o Teatro dos Novos. A relação complexa e dinâmica entre a cena teatral local e sua cobertura, a configuração do espaço cênico no jornalismo baiano, as repercussões deste “modernismo”, o treino de formatos textuais até então pouco ou nada explorados (crítica, comentários, editoriais, entrevistas, artigos e colunas especializadas), o aparecimento de novos cadernos, a percepção de questões que norteiam a atividade teatral em moldes modernos e o surgimento de vozes que as representam são os principais tópicos deste trabalho. / This research goals understanding how the theme Theater was build at Bahia´s press at the middle of 20th century, in A Tarde and Diário de Notícias newspapers. This time is properly relevant because at this, precisely at August 1956, Escola de Teatro was founded, brazilian’s first one bounded to a university, so called Universidade da Bahia. That initiative has opened way to modern theater procedures (role of the “player”, acting types, use of electrical lightening, and so many) had been used systematically in scenic sciences of Salvador. During five years – in times known as “Martim Gonçalves” era, in reference to the first Escola de Teatro dean – changes happened so in stage scene than in journalistic approach. The Escola de Teatro marks a transition from a time when a theater was understood as an amateur and dilettante activity to be acknowledged, professional and artistically, as an autonomous work field. Soon after, at 1959, first professional company of Salvador was founded, Teatro dos Novos. The complicated and dynamic relationship between local theatrical scene and its journalistic coverture, the creation of a scenic space at bahian newspapers, “modernism” blow-ups, new text formats not or less exploited so on (critics, comments, editorials, interviews, articles and expert columns), new caderns, questions about “modern” and representative voices appearing at this time are rolled in this work.

This empirical study is concerned with the extent to which news announcements affect the performance of common equity securities of oil and gas producing companies. The market effects of news announcements are considered to be of importance in resolving two issues. One concerns financial statement disclosure and the second concerns examination of prior oil and gas industry-related accounting research. This dissertation assumes capital market efficiency and addresses two research questions: do news announcements concerning activities of nonintegrated oil and gas producing companies affect the companies' common stock prices, and are announcements concerning nonintegrated oil and gas companies' financial, personnel, explorational, and developmental and operational activities used equally by investors in their decision-making?

This treatise investigates the representation of career opportunities for young girls as portrayed in three English-medium newspapers published in the Nelson Mandela Bay in 2010.While there have been numerous researches on the representation of women in the media, studies on career opportunities for young girls have yet to be conducted. Previous studies have established that girls were socialized to occupy nurturing roles in society: through parents, schools and social institutions like churches were chief socialization instruments. The use of language and rhetoric in the media often reiterates this socialization. Due to the power of the media to influence perceptions, this research reflects on the messages obtained by readers of the publications. The research is important because it aims to identify the trends of representation of career and life opportunities for girls in: The Herald, the Weekend Post and La Femme newspapers. A pilot study of articles on women and young girls was completed; this was followed by a main study. A content analysis of articles only on women and girls was conducted; whilst articles on young boys and men were excluded from this research, as its main focus was on women. The theoretical frameworks applied were the theories of journalism and feminism to determine the nature of representation. While the media organisations operate solely as a business, whose interest is to make profit, they have the fundamental responsibility of promoting values, particularly in South Africa. Under the leadership of the ANC-led government, plans have been executed to promote a 50/50 representation in government. Also, the participation of women in the private sector has improved through the requirements of the policy of Black Economic Empowerment, which aims to redress the wrongs of the past. This project has established that although the world has embraced feminism and the equality of women and men, much still needs to be done to reinforce these ideals, especially in the socialization of children.

The aim of this paper is to trace the role Japan's print media played in the course by which the nation came to be imagined in the late nineteenth century, and once conceived, altered and expanded in the early twentieth century. By the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese War (1905) a shift from a multiplicity of ideological articulations vis à vis the nation to a hegemony of "official" nationalism, which incorporated imperialism, had occured. How Japanese newspapers became an effective and powerful ideological institution which served to facilitate the hegemony of "official" nationalism is here examined. As the manner in which a culture communicates is a dominant influence on the formation of a culture's social and intellectual preoccupations, the monopoly of print in Meiji Japan makes an analysis of it a crucial first step in understanding how Japanese nationalism developed. Meiji newspapers evolved through four distinct phases: "pro-establishment," "political," "early commercial," and "fully commercial." In each succeeding stage of development, news was more finely strained. Print media's commercial coming of age had significant consequences: "official" nationalism became hegemonic, non-"official" nationalisms were effectively marginalized, and print came to play an increasingly central role in the body politic. An examination of editorial coverage of the war indicates the 1903-1905 period was pivotal to this development. / Arts, Faculty of / History, Department of / Graduate

This study focuses on the amount of coverage given by four major tabloid newspapers-Demos, Zambeze, Savana and Domingo-to the candidates of the major political parties Renamo and Frelimo, during the 2004 presidential race. The number of stories of both parties in those newspapers were counted and calculated by chi-square to determine how much one party was covered than the other identifying signs of balance or bias. The research showed that there was a significant result of 42 percent of likelihood that stories in the four newspapers would either be about Frelimo or Renamo. However, the study also revealed that Frelimo was the party covered most often by Demos, Zambeze and Savana while Renamo was covered most often by Domingo.

This thesis examines how the construction of news stories reveals relationships among groups of stakeholders and how their views unfold within environmental conflict coverage. This study uses a content analysis of 161 newspaper articles concerning the sea lion and salmon controversy at the Bonneville Dam, focusing on source use and blame and solution frames in environmental conflict coverage. This analysis of articles published between January 2003 and June 2010 in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, and Montana contributes to research concerning journalistic norms (i.e., balance and objectivity) and news production routines, specifically within the field of environmental reporting. The findings indicate governmental sources were most frequently quoted and presented the most successful solution frames; while advocacy/non-profit sources were quoted less frequently (in addition to tribal sources) and presented the most blame and failed solution frames. Additionally, this research reflects on the role of news filters, including journalistic norms and legal issues, and explores the relationship between blame frames and failed solution frames, which is perhaps a reflection of the role of spokespeople and media jargon.
