<p>I have in this essay looked at what stand NWT took to the three leading countries in The First World War, Germany, France and England, and if it changed during the course of the war.</p><p>I worked based on the theory that NWT, as a politically conservative newspaper was pro-Germany, which also showed to be true.</p><p>I have look at the official stand, what is shown in the published material, what stand that the newspaper showed outwards. The result shows that NWT held a neutral stand during the war being loyal to the conservative government.

The purpose of this qualitative study is to analyze the dominant propaganda strategies that were reflected in an hour-long program of Radio Martì, a broadcast produced on behalf of Voice of America in the United States and aired to Cuba. Through propaganda techniques, a content analysis was used to determine which strategies were present in the commentator's coverage of the program, El Dia de la Prensa Libre on May 3rd, 2012. This study uncovered propaganda strategies, including testimonials, flag-waving, glittering generalities, appeal to prejudice, image manipulation, over-simplicity, assertion, and third party technique, that were utilized in an effort to present nuanced perspectives on the broadcasts transmitted on Radio Martì. The use of these strategies demonstrates that the program continues to use propaganda when broadcasting to Cuba after the conflict of interest incident with the United States and Radio Martì in 2006. Beyond the analysis of this broadcast, the results of this study cannot be generalized, but they can be viewed as an exemplar of the broadcast's stance on propaganda messages to Cuba on behalf of American journalists.

Det är sällan man läser i tidningar om det goda sociala arbetet som utförs av socialtjänster i Sverige. Den enskilde medborgaren vänder sig inte heller ofta till media för att få berätta om stödet och det goda bemötandet de fått av myndigheten. Däremot kan klienter kontakta media för ett sista försök till att få uppmärksamhet samt upprättelse i ett beslut. Denna kontakt i kombination med journalistens sökande efter nyhetsvärde kan resultera i artiklar där socialtjänsten arbete framställs negativt. Således kan en missvisande bild målas upp i media, särskilt hos människor som aldrig själva haft kontakt med myndigheten. Ärenden gällande barn och ungdomar granskas oftare än övriga inom socialt arbete. Syftet med vår uppsats var att undersöka hur socialsekreterare som arbetar med barn och ungdomar upplever att de påverkas av den negativa bild som kan förekomma i media. Studien är kvalitativ och genomfördes i två fokusgrupper med tre informanter i var grupp. Empirin analyserades utifrån innehållsanalys med meningsbärande enheter, koder och kategorier. Resultatet i studien påvisar bland annat att socialsekreterarna som handlägger barnavårdsärenden har en negativ uppfattning av hur media skildrar deras arbete, att sekretessen hindrar att ge en heltäckande bild, att det är viktigt att ha stöd på arbetsplatsen samt att sociala mediers framväxt skapar nya möjligheter för personligare påhopp. Slutsatsen för studien visar att media har en avgörande roll gällande konstruktionen av samhällets bild på socialtjänsten. Beroende på struktur och ledarskap kan socialsekreterare som handlägger barnavårdsärendens känna mer eller mindre påverkan i arbetet. / It is rare to read in the newspapers about the good social work of social services in Sweden. Individual citizens are turning nor often to media to tell us the support and the good reception they received by the Authority. However, clients can contact the media for a final attempt to get attention and redress in a decision. This connector in combination with the journalist's quest for novelty may result in articles where the social work produced negative. Thus, a misleading picture painted in the media, especially in people who never have had contact with the agency. Cases concerning children and adolescents are reviewed more frequently than others in social work. The purpose of our study was to investigate how social workers who work with children and young people feel that they are affected by the negative image that may appear in the media. The study is qualitative and was conducted in two focus groups with three informants in each group. The empirical data was analyzed based on content analysis with meaningful units, codes and categories. The results of the study indicate, among other things, that the social workers dealing with child welfare cases have a negative perception of how the media portrays their work, that confidentiality prevents to give a complete picture, it is important to have support in the workplace, and that social media's emergence creates new opportunities for more personal attacks. The conclusion of the study shows that the media has a crucial role existing structure of social perception on social services. Depending on the structure and leadership can be social workers dealing with child welfare errand feel more or less influence in the work.

This thesis explores the dynamics and complexities of the press-politician relationship in the context of the British Columbia Legislature and Press Gallery. The relationship is examined from theoretical, historical/institutional, practical, and political perspectives. The evidence presented suggests that although the press-politician relationship is necessarily symbiotic, it is also characterized by conflict and attempts by both press and politicians to achieve independence of each other. As such, the relationship is most accurately described as one of "adversarial symbiosis." The sources of strain and the constructive elements of the relationship work in tandem to move the province closer to the ideals of legislative democracy as the relationship evolves over time. Provincial press galleries are notoriously under-documented, both through independent research and through their own administration. To date, there has not been a comprehensive study of the British Columbia Press Gallery as an institution of the Legislature. As a result, this thesis relies heavily on oral history, provided through semi-structured interviews with current and former members of the Press Gallery, and published biographies of B.C. journalists and politicians. This thesis was also informed by a review of the existing literature on the Canadian, Australian and British Parliamentary Press Galleries, archival research at the B.C. Legislative Library and Press Gallery offices and personal observation and analysis afforded by the author's six-month Legislative Internship in the B.C. Legislature.
