A Community of Modern Nations: The Mexican Herald at the Height of the Porfiriato 1895-1910.Salyers, Joshua 07 May 2011 (has links) (PDF)
The Mexican Herald, an English language newspaper in Mexico City during the authoritative rule of Porfirio Díaz (1895-1910), sought to introduce a vision of Mexico's development that would influence how Mexicans conceived of their country's political and cultural place within a community that transcended national boundaries. As Mexicans experienced rapid modernization led partially by foreign investors, the Herald represented the imaginings of its editors and their efforts to influence how Mexicans conceptualized their national identity and place in the world. The newspaper's editors idealized a Mexico that would follow the international model of the United States and embrace Pan-Americanism. The Herald's depictions of the ideal, future city provided an intelligible landscape to modernity. The editors' vision of modernity had significant implications for Mexican culture. The newspaper's articles and illustrations defined the parameters of modernity providing clear depictions of the physical, political, and cultural aspects of the community of modern nations.

Perceptions and constructions of cholera in the Eastern Province Herald and Daily Dispatch, 1980-2003Van Zyl, Kylie January 2011 (has links)
While the growing literature on South Africa’s healthcare and epidemics has often mentioned cholera in passing, there is as yet little academic work dedicated to it. This thesis addresses that deficit by examining the causes, spread and extent of cholera in South Africa between 1980 and 2003. Furthermore, it examines cholerarelated coverage in two newspapers, the Daily Dispatch and the Eastern Province Herald to determine how cholera and people with cholera were represented, and show how changes in the coverage of two major epidemics between 1980 and 2003 exemplify the political transition in South Africa, reflect changing political ideologies and reveal the shifting role of media within this period. The thesis argues three main points. Firstly, that representations of cholera and those who were sick with cholera were based on long-standing tropes connecting disease, class and ‘race’. Secondly, that policy-making based on these tropes influenced the unfair distribution and quality of health resources along racial lines, resulting in cholera outbreaks during the apartheid era. Failure to address these inequities post-apartheid, and the replacement of racial bias with discrimination on the grounds of socioeconomic development, resulted in further cholera outbreaks. Thirdly, using Alan Bell’s newspaper-discourse analysis framework to examine cholera-related articles the thesis compares and contrasts apartheid and postapartheid coverage in the two newspapers. This analysis reveals that during the 1980s the coverage was uncritical of the government’s handling of the epidemic or of its racially-discriminatory healthcare system. The newspapers uncritically accepted government-employed medical professionals as the final authorities on the epidemic, excluding alternative viewpoints. The coverage also “blamed the victim”, constructing affected “black” groups as potential threats to healthy “white” communities. Conversely, post–1994 coverage was criticised the government’s handling of the epidemic and the state of the public healthcare system. Government-employed medical professionals or spokespeople were not accepted as incontestable authorities and a range of sources were included. The coverage also shifted blame for the outbreaks to the government and its failure to address public health service delivery and rural development problems. The thesis shows the historical threat to the health of communities posed by uncaring governments.

Language use in the representation of former Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's marriage saga in Zimbwabwean newspapers: The case of the Herald and the Daily NewsMujakachi, Mercy Precious 18 May 2017 (has links)
MA (English) / Department of English / The study analysed the language used by The Herald and Daily News journalists to report on the marriage conflict between the former Prime Minister Morgan Richard Tsvangirai of Zimbabwe and Ms Locardia Karimatsenga. The Herald is a state-owned newspaper and Daily News is a privately-owned newspaper. An analysis of the marriage conflict enabled readers, in a magnified way, to see how ideological differences between the public and private media in Zimbabwe are represented. The study examined the similarities and/or differences in the manner in which the marriage conflict was represented in both papers. The study also examined the language used in the headlines, established the sources used and evaluated the ideological stances of the two newspapers. The study utilised the case study design. The researcher only focused on articles which were published during the month when the former Prime Minister married Ms Elizabeth Macheka in September 2012. It was also the month when the media published many articles about the marriage saga. Seventeen articles were analysed, eleven from The Herald and six from the Daily News. Framing and Representation theories were deemed appropriate to analyse the articles. Critical Discourse Analysis and semiotic analysis were used to analyse the selected articles and visuals which accompanied them. The findings of the study revealed that The Herald reports tended to be biased against the Prime Minister, while the Daily News was more objective in its use of language.

Use of the Mass Communication Media by Governor John B. Connally, Jr.Shelton, James Keith 12 1900 (has links)
Governor John B. Connally Jr., who served as chief executive of the State of Texas from 1963.to 1969, made extensive use of the mass communication media to further both his programs and his own political fortune. It is the purpose of this study to examine the history of Connally's use of the media, to evaluate the degree of success he achieved in the use of the media, and to present evidence of how he was able to achieve success in the use of the media.
The study was done in three phases. In the first phase, microfilm files of two newspapers, the Dallas News and the Houston Chronicle, were studied in detail for the years 1962 through 1968. Clipping files of the Associated Press in Austin and the Dallas Times Herald also were studied for the years in question. Also, the New York Times Index was examined for references to Connally during these years. Such references were then checked on microfilm files of the Times. In the second phase, key members of Connally's staff for those years and key members of the capitol press corps in Austin were interviewed. As a third step, a questionnaire was mailed to 25 selected Texas editors soliciting their views on Connally's press relations.

Émile Zola et la Russie, Histoire d'une conquête littéraire / Emile Zola and Russia, The Story of a literary Conquest / Эмиль Золя и Россия, История одного литературного завоеванияNuk, Myriam-Isabelle 26 June 2013 (has links)
Dans les années 1870, Émile Zola bénéficia d’une popularité exceptionnelle en Russie, comptant parmi les auteurs étrangers les plus lus. Nous nous proposons d’écrire précisément dans notre thèse l’histoire de cette extraordinaire rencontre franco-russe en nous appuyant sur des documents majoritairement inédits en français.Dans la première partie de cette étude, nous voyons que Zola se trouvait encore à l’heure difficile des débuts lorsqu’il fit la connaissance, en 1872, d’Ivan Turgenev. L’écrivain russe promit de lui trouver un engagement en Russie. Il négocia avec Mihail Stasulevič, le directeur de l’une des principales revues libérales de Saint-Pétersbourg. En 1875, au vu des premières critiques russes très favorables au romancier français, Stasulevič se laissa convaincre de recruter Zola au Messager de l’Europe comme correspondant parisien. Anna Engelhardt, la traductrice attitrée de Zola au Messager de l’Europe, joua un rôle clé dans son triomphe en Russie.Dans la seconde partie, nous analysons la correspondance échangée entre Zola, Turgenev et Stasulevič pendant près de dix ans, que nous avons intégralement reconstituée et traduite en français, pour établir précisément l’histoire de la collaboration d’Émile Zola au Messager de l’Europe. Les soixante-quatre textes que Zola composa à destination du lectorat russe – les Lettres parisiennes – sont présentés chronologiquement, rythmant notre lecture de la correspondance à trois voix. Régulièrement, les critiques russes émises en réaction aux écrits zoliens viennent enrichir notre réflexion.Cette approche nous permet d’évaluer objectivement quelle fut en son temps la réception de l’oeuvre d’Émile Zola en Russie. / In the 1870’s, Émile Zola enjoyed exceptional popularity in Russia, counting among the most read foreign authors. In the context of this thesis, we propose to write the precise story of this extraordinary Franco-Russian encounter, relying on mostly unpublished documents in French.In the first part of this study, we see that Zola was in an awkward situation when he made Ivan Turgenev’s acquaintance in 1872. The Russian writer offered his aid, promising to find a commitment for him in Russia. He negotiated to this end with the director of one of the leading liberal reviews of Saint-Petersburg, Mihail Stasulevič. In 1875, in view of the first Russian critical appreciations which were very favourable to the French writer, Stasulevič was persuaded to recruit Zola in "Вестник Европы" [The Herald of Europe], as Parisian correspondent. Anna Engelhardt, who was one of the first Russian critics to focus on Zola, played a key role in his triumph by becoming his official translator at the Herald of Europe.In the second part, we analyze the correspondence exchanged between Zola, Turgenev and Stasulevič for nearly ten years, which we have entirely reconstituted and translated into French, to establish the detailed story of Emile Zola’s collaboration to the Herald of Europe. The sixty four texts which Zola composed for the Russian readership, the Parisian Letters, are presented chronologically, punctuating our reading of the tripartite correspondence. Regularly, the Russian critical appreciations ventured in response to Zola’s publications come to enrich our reflection.This approach allows us to estimate objectively which was the reception of Emile Zola's work in Russia at this time.

Diatoms from the late Holocene of the western Chukchi Sea, Arctic Ocean: environmental signals and palaeoceanography / Diatoméer från sen holocen i västra Tjukjerhavet, Arktiska oceanen: miljösignaler och paleoceanografiBrowaldh, Erik January 2022 (has links)
The sediment Core SWERUS-L2-2-PC1 (2PC) retrieved from the Chukchi Sea, Arctic Ocean sits in an oceanographically dynamic location at the Arctic-Pacific Ocean gateway. The 8.3 m-long core was retrieved in Herald Canyon at the marginal ice zone at 57 m depth. Core 2PC is well-positioned to record variability in inflow of Bering Sea Water (BSW) and Pacific Water (PW) in Herald Canyon. With the 2PC high sedimentation rate (200 cm/kyr), two independent age models (radiocarbon and palaeomagnetism) based on tephra age markers, and a richness in well-preserved siliceous sediment, validate 2PC as an outstanding sequence for applying diatom assemblage analysis as a proxy for ocean-climate change back to 4250 years BP, including the past few hundred years where global warming and sea ice decline is recorded by instrumental records. These characteristics make Core-2PC a useful record for investigating the role of PW on sea ice variability in the Chukchi Sea, both in the past and predicting the future. To investigate the impact of PW on ocean and sea ice conditions in the Chukchi Sea, diatom assemblage analysis was performed on 49 samples through the Late Holocene. The over-arching goal was to test the hypothesis, suggested by existing research on 2PC using benthic foraminifera Mg/Ca palaeothermometry, that the strength of PW inflow into the Chukchi Sea via Herald Canyon has varied on a time scales of ~500-1000 years in the past 4000 years. PW is slightly warmer than resident Arctic surface waters and is known to be an important control on Arctic sea-ice. The diatom assemblage approach assumes that there are recognizable differences between end-member diatom assemblages that are characteristic of PW versus Arctic Ocean type environments associated with extensive sea-ice conditions. The mapping of species in the Herald Canyon was used to test the idea of variability of sea-ice extent and the role of the Pacific Ocean forcings into the western Chukchi Sea. The results reveal diverse diatom assemblages throughout the past 4000 years in Herald Canyon, showing this core to be very useful for diatom palaeoclimate reconstructions. A total of 126 species with abundance >1% are recognized. Several generalist species typically dominate assemblages especially Chaetoceros, ice-algae, marine-neritic and near ice or cold-water planktic centric diatoms. Distinct changes in stratigraphy are illustrated by changes in identified diatom assemblage zones. The 2PC diatom assemblages were contrasted with records from Chukchi-, Laptev-, East Siberian- and Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean. At 2PC, sympagic (sea-ice related), planktic and neritic species abundance varies on time scales of ~500-1000 years. Importantly, there is a clear similarity between the timing of diatom assemblage changes and the 2PC benthic foraminifera Mg/Ca bottom water temperature (BWT) reconstruction. In particular, abundance changes in the warm water species Thalassionema nitzschioides, Shionodiscus oestrupii and Thalassionema simonsenii, tychoplanktic Paralia sulcata, Ice algae- and sympagic assemblages and cold-water indicators correspond best to BWT fluctuations shown by the Mg/Ca reconstruction. These oscillations are suggestive of changes in warmer PW inflow. Other aspects of the diatom data appear to correlate with colder and warmer climate events and suggest that changes in PW inflow amplified the effects of these events in the Chukchi Sea region through the Late Holocene in the Northern Hemisphere. It can thus, be concluded that diatoms from 2PC, support the palaeoceanographic reconstruction suggested by the benthic foraminifera Mg/Ca palaeothermometry and that variations in PW inflow through Herald Canyon is an important driver of sea ice variability on thousand-year time scales.

Tabloidisation and the coverage of political issues in Zimbabwe - the case of Joice MujuruGadzikwa, Wellington 10 1900 (has links)
The study critically explored the tabloidisation of political news in Zimbabwe by focussing on the coverage of the expulsion of Joice Mujuru from ZANU PF and government by selected newspapers. The study analysed three national dailies across the ownership divide; The Herald, Daily News and NewsDay. The objective of the study was to establish whether or not the decline in standards of journalism and performance in Zimbabwe could be attributed to tabloidisation. The study employed a qualitative methodology through qualitative content analysis and in-depth interviews to assess whether the framing reflected tabloid or broadsheet journalism styles. The framing of Joice Mujuru by The Herald was pejorative and derisive as she was depicted as corrupt, traitor, inept and a simplistic thinker who cannot handle issues to do with statecraft. Daily News sympathised with Joice Mujuru as a victim of chauvinistic factional politics in ZANU PF, especially, after the death of her husband, General Solomon Mujuru. The study argued that Joice was also depicted as a brave leader who could challenge for the office of the president, if she formed a coalition with MDC –T leader Morgan Tsvangirai. Daily News sought to counter all the negative framing of Joice Mujuru by The Herald. NewsDay framing was sympathetic, like Daily News but was more inclined on creating an image of a moderate leader in Mujuru, one who would be acceptable to all Zimbabweans because she had the critical liberation war credentials that Tsvangirai lacked and Mujuru’s perceived abilities to extricate the country from the economic challenges by mending relationships with the West. Despite the diametrically opposed frames in terms of The Herald versus Daily News and NewsDay, all the newspapers are undergoing the damaging process of tabloidisation by employing tabloid styles and formatting in their political news coverage through sensationalism, trivialisation and emotionalism. It was argued that the media needs self-introspection and recommitment to ethical and objective journalism as the watchdogs of society. / Communication / D. Litt. et Phil. (Communication)

Too foul and dishonoring to be overlooked : newspaper responses to controversial English stars in the Northeastern United States, 1820-1870Smith, Tamara Leanne 30 September 2010 (has links)
In the nineteenth century, theatre and newspapers were the dominant expressions of popular culture in the northeastern United States, and together formed a crucial discursive node in the ongoing negotiation of American national identity. Focusing on the five decades between 1820 and 1870, during which touring stars from Great Britain enjoyed their most lucrative years of popularity on United States stages, this dissertation examines three instances in which English performers entered into this nationalizing forum and became flashpoints for journalists seeking to define the nature and bounds of American citizenship and culture. In 1821, Edmund Kean’s refusal to perform in Boston caused a scandal that revealed a widespread fixation among social elites with delineating the ethnic and economic limits of citizenship in a republican nation. In 1849, an ongoing rivalry between the English tragedian William Charles Macready and his American competitor Edwin Forrest culminated in the deadly Astor Place riot. By configuring the actors as champions in a struggle between bourgeois authority and working-class populism, the New York press inserted these local events into international patterns of economic conflict and revolutionary violence. Nearly twenty years later, the arrival of the Lydia Thompson Burlesque Troupe in 1868 drew rhetoric that reflected the popular press’ growing preoccupation with gender, particularly the question of woman suffrage and the preservation of the United States’ international reputation as a powerfully masculine nation in the wake of the Civil War.
Three distinct cultural currents pervade each of these case studies: the new nation’s anxieties about its former colonizer’s cultural influence, competing political and cultural ideologies within the United States, and the changing perspectives and agendas of the ascendant popular press. Exploring the points where these forces intersect, this dissertation aims to contribute to an understanding of how popular culture helped shape an emerging sense of American national identity. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that in the mid-nineteenth century northeastern United States, popular theatre, newspapers, and audiences all contributed to a single media formation in which controversial English performers became a rhetorical antipode against which “American” identity could be defined. / text
