News media performance and social responsibility in transitional societies : a case study of tabloidisation in TaiwanLiu, Chen-li January 2010 (has links)
The development of the news media in western societies coincided with the formation of a fully democratic polity based on universal suffrage, and from the outset the press and later broadcasting were assigned a central role in providing the information and argumentative resources for citizenship and in checking for abuses of power. But the commercial news media were also industries, increasingly financed by the sale of advertising, and commentators saw the search for audience maximisation moving news towards sensation. While these developments gathered momentum over many decades in the West, in Taiwan they have been compressed into two, as the country has experienced a rapid triple transformation: from authoritarian, single-party rule, to democratic politics based on multi party competition; from a state managed economy to a market-driven economy; and from a restricted media system to an open one marked by fierce competition. Many observers see this highly compressed process of change, coupled with the relative weakness of civil society, generating a particularly aggressive form of tabloidisation, a withdrawal from social responsibility and ethics, and news system ill adapted to serving the needs of a still consolidating democracy. This argument empirically through three detailed case studies of key stories places them in the context of the general changes reshaping Taiwanese news media and the original arguments over tabloidisation in the West, and concludes by exploring the possibilities for reform in the future.

Kulturjournalistiken idag : och hur rapporteringsfokuset ändras på dagstidningarnas kultursidor. / The Culture Journalism of Today : and how the report focus changes in the cultural sections of local newspapers.Ström, Carin January 2013 (has links)
As our society moves into a more technical era, journalism and the reporting of culture have had to follow. But where has that left the cultural critique, and journalist/reviewers, in our local newspapers? This bachelor thesis will try to map and explain the change of the cultural presentation in the local newspapers from the day it was firstly introduced as a genre in the modern journalistic world until today – 1840 and onwards. Whether it has turned into complete tabloid journalism or if it's methods are used to expand the knowledge about the cultural object, it shall be discovered with the help of an analysis of the cultural sections in some newspapers – both from the last quarter of 2012 (October - December) and one date from two years prior to that. One of the answers provided by the analysis, and perhaps the most relevant to this thesis, is that by adding features of tabloid journalism in reports of cultural news, culture journalism can better adapt its contents according to academic and social preferences of what is considered important aspects of information in the news, as it positions itself according to the technological fields and the changes within the cultural area itself.

El contexto sociocultural del Perú, se viene desarrollando en un entorno violento hacia la mujer, donde la prensa cumple un rol relevante como medio difusor en temas de violencia contra ella y responsabilidad hacia sus receptores. Justamente, los medios de comunicación tienen la capacidad de proporcionar modelos de género y actuación social. En ese sentido, este trabajo tiene como interés principal comprender las características que tuvo la cobertura mediática de Mano Alzada y el Trome sobre la desaparición (2018) y el feminicidio (2020) de Solsiret Rodríguez Aybar con relación al periodismo feminista y sensacionalista; identificando sus limitaciones y posibilidades en su configuración por construir un discurso sólido para sus lectores. Los conceptos para concretar la investigación, se basan en la cobertura mediática, el tratamiento de noticias sobre mujeres, la espectacularización y la nota roja. Se propone un análisis de discurso que incorpora la revisión y comparación de notas informativas a través de un enfoque descriptivo y crítico. / The sociocultural context of Peru has been developing in a violent environment towards women, where the press plays a relevant role as a means of disseminating issues of violence against them and responsibility towards their recipients.

Embracing LOLitics: Popular Culture, Online Political Humor, and PlayTay, Geniesa January 2012 (has links)
The Internet, and Web 2.0 tools can empower audiences to actively participate in media creation. This allows the production of large quantities of content, both amateur and professional. Online memes, which are extensions of usually citizen-created viral content, are a recent and popular example of this. This thesis examines the participation of ordinary individuals in political culture online through humor creation. It focuses on citizen-made political humor memes as an example of engaged citizen discourse. The memes comprise of photographs of political figures altered either by captions or image editing software, and can be compared to more traditional mediums such as political cartoons, and 'green screens' used in filmmaking. Popular culture is often used as a 'common language' to communicate meanings in these texts. This thesis thus examines the relationship between political and popular culture. It also discusses the value of 'affinity spaces', which actively encourage users to participate in creating and sharing the humorous political texts. Some examples of the political humor memes include: the subversion of Vladimir Putin's power by poking fun at his masculine characteristics through acts similar to fanfiction, celebrating Barack Obama’s love of Star Wars, comparing a candid photograph of John McCain to fictional nonhuman creatures such as zombies using photomanipulation, and the wide variety of immediate responses to Osama bin Laden's death. This thesis argues that much of the idiosyncratic nature of the political humor memes comes from a motivation that lies in non-serious play, though they can potentially offer legitimate political criticism through the myths 'poached' from popular culture.
