During the 2010’s a new situation emerged due to the influx of people using the Mediterranean Sea route. Around its peak in 2015, widespread media coverage constructed this crisis as ‘the refugee crisis’. Camps like Moria became the emblem of the refugee crisis, yet, more than half a decade later, the ‘crisis’ has yet to be resolved. And, amid a pandemic, a global crisis, not the least affecting refugees, yet another ‘crisis’ arose during the night of 8th/9th September 2020 when a series of fires almost completely destroyed refugee camp Moria, leaving more than 10.000 refugees ‘homeless’. It is in this unique context, at the intersection of ‘the refugee crisis’, ‘the corona crisis’ and ‘the fires in camp Moria’ that this exploratory study captures written news coverage from the four biggest Dutch newspapers, engaging with the refugee crisis in the first week after the fires (9-15 September 2020). It does so, with the aim of exploring the range of frames used to (re)construct the refugee crisis, thereby making certain meanings more likely to be conveyed than others.  Directed at an event focussed time frame within an understudied national context, this study zooms in on a moment of heightened media import to explore the (re)construction of frames as the situation unfolds. To this end, a qualitative inductive framing analysis, focussing on how the frames are reconstructed through framing and reasoning devices, has been conducted on a total of 60 articles.  Including both broadsheets and tabloids with diverse political backgrounds in the sample, significant differences between the coverage of the two tabloids and the two broadsheets were found. The former (tabloids, Telegraaf politically right oriented and AD politically neutral oriented) significantly distance the situation in Moria, the refugees and the refugee crisis as a whole, quite often even framing the refugees as a problem while rejecting humanitarian grounds. The latter (broadsheets, Volkskrant politically (centre) left oriented and NRC politically centre right oriented) were found to centralize humanisation and identification within a humanitarian frame, while problematizing, and assigning responsibility to political handling. Furthermore, the coverage of the tabloids is characterised by more superficial, descriptive accounts, using little framing devices, while the coverage of both broadsheets is saturated with framing devices to substantiate the humanitarian frame.             Finally, the study also found similarities on the level of incorrect labelling (the usage of migrants instead of, or as interchangeable with refugees) and ‘voicelesness’ (the rare opportunity for refugees to speak). The sample articles more often than not mix labels. Furthermore, the broadsheets give (multiple) refugees a voice in respectively 2 (Volkskrant) and 3 (NRC) articles. And in doing so, these articles actually centralize those accounts. Both tabloids on the other hand, only briefly quote an anonymous and un-contextualised refugee once. Although the broadsheets ‘do better’, still, overwhelmingly, refugees themselves do not play a role in their representation and framing.

如今，全球化進程和大規模跨界過程對全球轉變具有很大的影響，在這個情況下信息和通信技術對國外社會的影響發揮關鍵的作用。目前國際關係專家指出兩種這樣的影響。第一個影響官方結構，即外交官和政治家，第二個影響公共組織，商業結構和不同國家的人口。最後一個是稱之為 “公眾外交”，這有助於使用媒體機制公開對特定國家活動的國外意見。與印刷媒體平行，可以強調，現在的電視媒體對國外意見和國際進程的動態有很大的影響。為了提高電視媒體的獨特特徵，媒體分析家提出了“電視外交”的概念來解釋國家領導人和外交官決定把全球電視廣播當成政治平台。 目前大眾媒體討論的主要議題是國際恐怖主義、國內及國際戰爭、非法毒品和人口販運、新疾病的出現和擴散、氣候變化和其他問題。不同的國家使用自己的方法來研究這些問題，並導致一般公眾對當今發生的事情看法有所不同。這表示每個國家傳導訊息的方法有所不同，這些方法與各國家的外交政策直接相關。因此，本論文專注於國家新聞網對當代國際關係的影響，特別側重於CNN和RT及其對美國和俄羅斯聯邦發展外交政策戰略的影響。 / Nowadays there are transformations affected by the globalization processes and large-scale cross-border activities, where information and communication technologies have started to play a crucial role in terms of influencing foreign societies. Up to date international relations specialists emphasize two levels of such impact. The first one influences on the official structures, namely diplomats and politicians, while the second one has an impact on public organizations, business structures and population of different countries. The last one we are used to calling "Public Diplomacy", which help to form foreign opinions about the activities of a particular country, using media mechanisms. Drawing a parallel with printed media, one can stress that nowadays television media has a great impact on foreign opinion and the dynamics of international processes. In order to outline TV-media distinctive features, media analysts presented the concept "telediplomacy", where state leaders and diplomats have started to use the global television broadcast as a platform for the proclamation of their political decisions. The main topics mass media discusses today are all about the international terrorism, local and international wars, illegal drug and human trafficking, emergence and spread of new diseases, climate change and other issues. Different countries use their own approaches to examine these problems, which lead to completely different interpretation of general public on what is happening nowadays. It means that in each country there are different methods of supplying information materials, which are directly related to the foreign policy of any country. Therefore, this study is focused on the impact of national information networks on contemporary international relations, and particularly focused on CNN and Russia Today and their influence on the development of foreign policy strategies in the United States and the Russian Federation.

Estado, Folhapress e O Globo ? que integram os três principais conglomerados da mídia brasileira. Sob a perspectiva da sociologia das redações, a pesquisa tem como aporte teórico os estudos sobre gatekeeping e newsmaking. A tese mostra os procedimentos de distribuição de materiais jornalísticos destes serviços noticiosos, sob a lógica de aproveitamento de conteúdos produzidos no interior dos respectivos grupos de comunicação. Isto é, identifica como as agências nacionais operam com as notícias exclusivas dos principais jornais de seus respectivos grupos ? Estado de S.Paulo, Folha de S.Paulo e O Globo, produtores dos conteúdos que são disponibilizados pelos serviços noticiosos a centenas de veí¬culos assinantes. Do cruzamento de conteúdos publicados pelos três jornais com os distribuídos pelas respectivas agências, constatou-se a expressiva distribuição de conteúdos exclusivos das edições diárias desses periódicos pelos seus serviços noticiosos. Como consequência, a prática predominante nesses conglomerados contribui para a presença de mesmos temas/assuntos no jornalismo brasileiro, considerando que centenas de veículos sediados em diferentes regiões brasileiras reproduzem o noticiário desses três principais jornais do eixo Rio-São Paulo. Assim, a tese apresenta ainda um retrato da presença e atuação das agências em dez jornais regionais localizados em dez principais capitais brasileiras, reproduzindo um funil midiático com oferta de temas e abordagens jornalísticas construídos por três maiores grupos de mídia do País. / This research consists of multiple case studies on the production process of the National news agencies ? Estado, Folhapress e O Globo ? which integrate the three main Brazilian media conglomerates. From the perspective of the sociology of the newsroom, the research is based on gatekeeping and newsmaking theories. This thesis presents the procedures of the distribution of journalistic contents of news services and the logic behind the dissemination of news within these organizations. That is, it identifies how National news agencies handle exclusive reports printed in main newspapers of their respective groups ? Estado de S.Paulo, Folha de S.Paulo e O Globo, makers of the contents offered by news agencies to hundreds of media subscribers. By cross-referencing journalistic contents printed in the three newspapers, with those offered by respective agencies, it found the expressive distribution of exclusive contents published on these papers day to day through their report services. As a consequence, this predominant practice contributes to presence of same themes and subjects in Brazilian journalism, considering that hundreds of media subscribers of agencies in different Brazilian regions run the same stories printed in the main newspapers located in Rio-São Paulo. Thus, this thesis stills presents a picture of presence and action among news agencies in ten regional newspapers located in ten main Brazilian capitals, reproducing a medium funnel that offers themes and framings made by the three media giants of Country.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Juliano Chagas.pdf: 51700837 bytes, checksum: 7610752a37a3143f2bb3c86bddbea8d9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-05-10 / The objective of the research project Jornal Nacional: technology advances and telejournalism 1.5 is to analyze the newscast Jornal Nacional of Globo Television Network from the point of view of its relations with technology advances and digital media, including social networks. We wonder how connected Jornal Nacional is with the technology advances of recent decades, with new forms of communication and their possible effects on the information content of the newscast. Another question is whether this connection would be democratizing the news, drawing more viewers. In order to answer these questions, we will compare the behavior of JN and their counterparts in cyberspace. The research corpus consists of records of the newscast Jornal Nacional of Globo Television Network and its extensions in the digital media: its website and its social networks. Four editions of the newscast Jornal Nacional will be selected, analyzed and compared, taking as its starting point an edition of the 1980s, an edition of the 1990s, an edition of the decade of 2000 and finally the last one, an edition of this year 2013. In this particular one, we will analyze its interaction with the digital media. The theoretical references consist of network literature written by scholars from our society and the consequences of a culture of real virtuality such as Manuel Castells' and Pierre Lévy's Cyberculture; the convergence culture and its new participatory actions in a critical theory of the new media, like Henry Jenkins's and Dominique Wolton's; pieces of work that will analyze the television language and its technological transformations such as Arlindo Machado's and Newton Cannito's; authors and works that emphasize the television journalism language such as Beatriz Becker and Guilherme Jorge de Rezende, among others. We suppose that, despite the current impact of digital media, the Brazilian television, and in particular the Brazilian television journalism remains conservative in what regards to interactivity, with consequences on its content. The relevance of the research is the importance of the national news Jornal Nacional, still a great source of Brazilian audiovisual information, measured by high ratings of audience / O projeto de pesquisa Jornal Nacional: os avanços tecnológicos e o telejornalismo 1.5 tem como objetivo analisar o telejornal Jornal Nacional da Rede Globo de Televisão do ponto de vista de suas relações com os avanços tecnológicos e com as mídias digitais, aí incluídas as redes sociais. Perguntamonos pelo grau de entrosamento do JN com os avanços tecnológicos das últimas décadas; com as novas formas de comunicação e pelos seus eventuais efeitos sobre os conteúdos informativos do telejornal. Outra questão é saber se tal interação estaria democratizando o telejornal, por atrair-lhe, ou não, mais telespectadores. Para tanto, compararemos os comportamentos do JN e seus congêneres no ciberespaço. O corpus da pesquisa é constituído por registros do telejornal Jornal Nacional da Rede Globo de Televisão e suas extensões nas mídias digitais a saber, seu website e suas redes sociais. Serão selecionadas e analisadas 4 edições do telejornal Jornal Nacional, a serem comparadas, tendo como ponto de partida uma edição da década de 1980, uma da década de 1990, uma do ano 2000 e finalmente a última do ano de 2013. Nessa em particular, analisaremos sua interação com as mídias digitais. Os referenciais teóricos compreendem obras de estudiosos da sociedade em rede e as consequências de uma cultura da virtualidade real como Manuel Castells e a cibercultura de Pierre Lévy; da cultura da convergência e suas novas ações participativas à uma teoria crítica das novas mídias, como Henry Jenkins e Dominique Wolton; obras que darão conta de analisar a linguagem da televisão e suas transformações tecnológicas como as de Arlindo Machado e Newton Cannito; autores e obras que destaquem a linguagem do telejornalismo como Beatriz Becker e Guilherme Jorge de Rezende, entre outros. Trabalhamos com a hipótese de que, apesar do impacto atual das mídias digitais, a televisão brasileira, e em particular o telejornalismo brasileiro, mantêm-se conservadores em matéria de adesão à interatividade, com consequências sobre o seu conteúdo. A relevância da pesquisa está na importância do Jornal Nacional, ainda ser a grande fonte de informação audiovisual do brasileiro, aferido pelos grandes índices de audiência

This dissertation examines the agendas and frames used by the Ethiopian News Agency (ENA) and Reuters in their coverage of issues and actors of the May 2005 Ethiopian Elections, by employing agenda-setting and framing theories. The study applies quantitative and qualitative methods and examined fifty news stories from each news agency, and forwards five main findings: One, ENA and Reuters differed in setting agendas. While ENA focused on the legitimacy, Reuters emphasised on the killings and arrests of the electoral process. Second, ENA and Reuters differed in their motives to make some actors more salient than others. Third, ENA framed Elections processes as rightful, while Reuters framed them as disfigured. Fourth, ENA framed government parties as visionary and indomitable, and the oppositions as wrongdoers. Contrastingly, Reuters framed the oppositions as victims, and the government parties as brutal actors. And finally, by so doing, both agencies reflected their respective interests. / Communication Science / MA (International Communication)
