Newspapers In Order Research Articles

Serijinės literatūros vertimai Estijos laikraščiuose XX a. pradžioje (1900–1940 m.)

The paper explores the serialised novels and stories in the two leading Estonian daily newspapers, Päewaleht and Postimees, the majority of which were translations. The approach, combining book and translation history, is driven by the two issues debated in the media in 1900–1940: the desire to distance from the dominant German and Russian cultural influences and search for a new orientation; the categories of literature serialised in newspapers including the proportion of popular literature (genres like mystery, thrillers, romance, etc.) and the concern of intellectuals about its growth. The study uses the years 1906–1911 and 1928–1933 as a sample for content analysis of the feuilleton sections of the two newspapers in order to examine the changes in source literatures and the category of literature. The results demonstrate that German literature still dominated the serialised fiction translations at the beginning of the century, although many other literatures were used as sources. In the independent Republic of Estonia, in the 1920s and 1930s, Anglo-American literature occupied the leading position in accordance with the general cultural orientation. Still, German had not become marginal, and the range of other source literatures was quite diverse. The proportion of popular literature, mystery novels, and romance above all, started to increase in Päewaleht since 1906, becoming dominant in the 1920s and 1930s. Postimees also started to include some mystery and thriller novels in the selection, but in general, remained true to its preference for literary fiction. Thus, the agency of the Editors-in-Chief and editorial boards can be seen in the choice of works. The overall abundance of translated popular fiction in the book market and periodicals caused the protests of writers and educational circles that culminated with the suggestion to introduce a translation tax, which was, however, abandoned.

Vaccine or no vaccine

The current paper analyzed articles on the COVID-19 vaccine as reported and communicated by Namibian newspapers in order to understand the vocabulary, expressions and information sources used by the selected Namibian newspapers when covering and disseminating the COVID-19 vaccine related information. The purpose of this article was to analyze the COVID-19 vaccine information as reported and communicated by Namibian newspapers. The researchers compiled a database of newspaper articles mentioning the COVID-19 vaccine from two local newspapers, The Namibian and the New era, between January and June 2021. In total, 14 articles from the two newspapers were purposefully selected. The articles were analyzed using content analysis. The findings of the current study contributes to the timely needed informed discussion on issues surrounding COVID-19 pandemic and COVID-19 vaccines specifically. The study concludes that there is (urgent) need for the Ministry of Health and Social Services to be consistent in issuing hands on statements timeously to the public at every step of the crisis/pandemic development. This should also be done in local languages to ensure that the public is not confused and misinformed by conspiracies, propaganda, fake news and unverified information.

The role of Sá Carneiro in the building of the Portuguese democracy: Memory(ies) of the agents of change through the press

This article aims to analyse how the press has depicted Francisco Sá Carneiro, founder of the Social Democratic Party, regarding his role in the construction of Portuguese democracy. Debates on the Portuguese transition to democracy focus almost invariably on its revolutionary phase and on the relative importance of its actors and agents of change. Nonetheless, little attention has been paid to the role of civilian leaders during or after the 74-75 Revolution. In addition, the impact of the media on the historical memory of the Portuguese transition remains an underexplored research topic. Considering the importance of the media in shaping public opinion and in the process of building the historical memory, we will undertake a qualitative analysis of piece of news published on Sá Carneiro and his role in Portuguese democratization. Our research will focus on Portuguese and Spanish largest newspapers in order to perceive if Sá Carneiro’s memory also changed abroad. This article argues that the press hasn’t paid much attention to Sá Carneiro’s role in the democratisation process, echoing mythologized visions of the centrist leader.

Administrative Decentralization and Rural Roads Maintenance in Western Uganda

The systematic study evaluated the relationship between Administrative Decentralisation and Rural Roads Maintenance in Kanungu District in western Uganda. The research study adopted an exploratory and descriptive research design with quantitative and qualitative paradigms. A sample of 104 respondents were selected from 113 people using Slovene’s formula. Data was garnered using questionnaires and interview schedules and analyzed using frequencies, percentages, Pearson linear correlation coefficient (PLCC) for quantitative data and content analysis was used for summarising qualitative information. The study findings established a significant relationship between Administrative Decentralization and Rural Roads Maintenance in Kanungu District in Western Uganda. The study concluded that Administrative decentralisation is important for rural feeder roads maintenance because it deals with issues to do with provision of quality services to the citizenry. If the roads are well maintained, they can be an impetus to socio-economic development of the country at large. The population can use the roads to transact a number of economic activities for development to blossom. From the study findings, the researcher recommended that the political leadership of Kanungu district local government in Uganda should always recruit competent and knowledgeable persons to oversee the maintenance of rural roads for proper development of the country. This can be done through advertising both in local and national newspapers in order to attract a pool of applicants from which district service commission can choose the right persons and fit square pegs in square holes. The government of Uganda should augment on the budget meant to maintain the rural roads so that local governments can have sufficient money to implement activities related to roads maintenance and engender an environment of growth and progress in the country.

Covert societal practices in linguistic choices of Pakistani editorials: Fairclough’s CDA model approach

Purpose: Core concept of CDA revolves around the interdependency of description of language, interpretation of language and prevailing discursive practices in society. This study examines the role a language plays in formulating ideological subjective position of male and female in any contemporary society.
 Methodology: The study applied Fairclough’s CDA model on the Pakistani editorials of two English newspapers in order to qualitatively analyze the linguistic choices and its placement in the text by focusing on other modalities of language such as adverbs, adjectives, metaphors and action verbs for unraveling the patriarchal practices of the society in which women are at the stake of more disadvantages than the men in COVID-19 pandemic situation.
 Findings: Editorials showed remarkable use of differences in linguistic choices for depiction of powerful and powerless group. Findings showed the existence of hegemony in society where men dominates women by violating their basic rights. Abusive nature of men during the pandemic situation has transformed women's tendency to attend their work through online sources into a tiresome experience. Linguistic choice and syntactic structure have brought forth the discourse type, situational context and societal practices at the surface level which in turns connect back to the role of society and culture in shaping the perception of editors in writing a piece of editorials.
 Unique Contribution to Practice and Policy: Two newspapers have adopted different stances in depicting a same issue which also reveals the hidden ideology of the press media in which they use implicit or explicit tone in delivering their ideas. This research can help in exploring new dimensions of Pakistani editorials’ language where different tone of language represent unique subject position of female and male in pandemic situation.

RETORIKA INFOGRAFIS PANDEMI CORONA VIRUS MEDIA JURNALISTIK DIGITAL ONLINE

AbstractThe phenomenon of infographics as a visual strategy to attract readers of digital newspapers in order to realize the importance of the protocol issued by WHO and the government of the Republic of Indonesia in an effort to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, is currently quite prevalent by online media press. The visual form of infographics published by the digital-based press (online) is usually derived to accompany the main article on the front page (headline). The important message of the infographic that is prioritized is not to spread quickly, namely by maintaining social distancing, encouraging work at home, and always maintaining cleanliness and wearing a mask when leaving the house, even then with restrictions. How the form of visual communication design in the form of an infographic is able to provide aesthetic appeal in visual rhetoric to readers who will be the attention of this study. Through a qualitative research method approach to the phenomenon of infographic design from the perspective of text study from the aesthetic value of symbolic visual rhetoric with visual communication design analysis in terms of harmony achievement through its persuasive informative constituent elements. The findings of this study are related to the form of the infographic which is more portrait or vertical dominant. Colors tend to be strong colors red, yellow, blue, and black to indicate pandemic-related color psychology. Visual rhetoric tends to be iconic and header and copy letters are dominant in using sanserif to persuade understanding and reading of information to the reading audience. To remind adherence to health protocols, such as messages from mothers, namely wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining social distancing are the keywords to break this pandemic.Keywords: Covid-19 infographics, aesthetics, visual rhetoric, online press media

Active folding in the Tenes region (Tell Atlas, Algeria): modelling the 1922 earthquake fault-related fold (Mw 6.2)

We study the Tenes Abou El Hassan (TAEH) fault-related fold of the Tell Atlas (the site of the 1922 Mw 6.2 earthquake) using field investigations combined with satellite image processing. The 1922 earthquake is also revisited through previous reports, publications and contemporaneous newspapers in order to locate the area of maximum ground motion and its relation to the active TAEH fault-related fold. The analysis of high-resolution (0.5 m) satellite imagery (panchromatic Pleiades tri-stereo images) allows the accurate study in tectonic geomorphology and the characterization of active and seismogenic deformation. High-resolution DEMs obtained from Pleiades images highlight alluvial and marine terraces with cumulative uplift during the Upper Pleistocene–Holocene period and allowed the identification of geomorphological markers along the active fold with recognition of complex tectonic structures. The fault-related fold is modelled using both elastic (Okada 1992) and kinematic (Trishear) approaches using balanced cross-sections that reveal 1.2 mm/year shortening rate during the Upper Pleistocene–Holocene. Uplift rate calculated using marine and alluvial terrace altitudes is ~0.3 mm/year during the Upper Pleistocene along the Allalah Quaternary basin and the coastal zone reaching ~1 mm/year during the Holocene. The earthquake geology and correlation between surface deformation and seismotectonic modelling provides additional constraints on the 1922 earthquake fault parameters and related seismic hazard assessment in the Tell Atlas of Algeria.

Schools in the media: framing national standardized testing in the Norwegian press, 2004–2018

ABSTRACT In the education sector, media outlets have been increasingly active in reporting on standardized testing. The purpose of this paper is to identify the most recurrent discursive frames used by the Norwegian regional and local press when informing their readers about national standardized testing, and to explore whether differences over time and across geographical localities exist in the pervasiveness of frames. Our analysis is guided by framing theory, and builds on a corpus of 3,046 articles that focus on national testing, published by 155 Norwegian regional and local newspapers between 2004 and 2018. The analysis identifies four different discursive frames within Norwegian press coverage, namely the frame of ‘performance’, ‘transparency and empowerment’, ‘misinterpretation and misuse’, and ‘criticism’. The four frames convey highly distinct causal and normative beliefs and realities about national standardized testing. While the dominance of the frames varies over time and across Norwegian counties, the frame of ‘performance’ is increasingly pervasive, something that potentially contributes to naturalize performative-oriented reporting and competition in education. The study highlights the importance of systematic media analyses to identify circulating principle beliefs on education, and of not limiting research to national newspapers in order to grasp geographical variation in media coverage.

Analisis Kesalahan Berbahasa Tataran Sintaksis Dalam Tajuk Surat Kabar Republika

Newspapers are media of information read by the public. Thus, the use of language has an important role in making newspapers, especially journalism, so that language errors do not occur. However, language errors were still found in the headline of the Republika newspaper at the syntactic level in the field of phrases and sentences. This language error occurs because of a lack of understanding of the rules of the Indonesian language in writing news. The problems in this research are 1. How is the language error at the syntactic level of the phrase field in the headline of the Republika newspaper? 2. How is the language error at the syntactic level of the sentence field in the headline of the Republika newspaper? The purpose of this research is to describe, classify and analyze language errors at the syntactic level of the phrases and sentences in the headline of the Republika newspaper in order to obtain actual results. This type of research is qualitative research with descriptive methods. The data in this study are language errors in the fields of phrases and sentences contained in the headline of the Republika newspaper. The theory used refers to various theories put forward by Setyawati (2010) and Tarigan (2011). Techniques for data collection using documentation and Content Analysis (Content Analysis). The results of data analysis that has been carried out in the Headline of the Republika newspaper, found 36 errors in the phrase field, namely the influence of regional languages, the use of inappropriateprepositions, the use of excessive or redundant elements and excessive superlative forms. The sentence field errors found 84 errors, namely sentences that are not subject to, sentences are not subject to and are not predicated (stumped sentences), omission of conjunctions, excessive use of conjunctions, using foreign terms and using unnecessary question words. So there were 120 errors in the language at the syntactic level in the Header of the Republika newspaper.

REFLECTION OF THE GENRE STRUCTURE OF NEWSPAPER TEXTS ON THE COMPOSITION MODEL OF A NEWSPAPER (BY THE EXAMPLE OF PRINTED AND ONLINE NEWSPAPER <i>THEWASHINGTON POST</i>)

The article analyzes the composition of online and print versions of the Washington Post newspaper in order to discover the correlation between the newspaper genre structure and its composition model. The latter is interpreted as a system of parts and sections and a set of stable connections between them. The analysis has revealed that the print ver- sion has a sophisticated composition and consists of sections, parts and columns which indicate the source of information. The online version has a simpler, well-structured, clear-cut composition made up of parts and sections; the majority of the texts are supplied with a reference to the genre. Differences in the composition can be explained by several reasons. It has been found that the print version of the newspaper is addressed to regular readers who have certain expectations from the sections, while the electronic version has a large percentage of “random” readers, for whom it is important to have a clear idea of what material they deal with. It is emphasized that the observed deviation from the traditional genre structuring of the sections in the print version of the paper is associated with the image-related causes, such as the desire to create a unique memorable product. As a result, one and the same product can have different composition in the print and online versions. The analysis carried out by the author proves that there is a clear link between the composition and the genre system in the online newspaper; texts of the print version have a looser connection with the traditional genre system, which can be at- tributed to marketing reasons.

Usos ideológicos de elementos prestados del euskera en la creación de palabras en español en el lenguaje periodístico

Neology is a natural process in the diachronic evolution of language, which founds a very fruitful gap in the language of journalism. This paper presents an analysis of the morphological, semantic and pragmatic behaviour of some linguistic elements coming from the Basque language, which have been documented in an ad hoc corpus from the Spanish press. The initial hypothesis is that formants from this language are used to activate mental frames that connect neologisms with terrorist violence in the recipients. This type of neology is especially prolific because it seeks concrete pragmatic effects, whether as part of the journalist style or of the media. We have reviewed the digital newspaper library of eleven newspapers in order to study the function of three formants: borroka, batasuno and –(t)arra. The conclusion is that the starting hypothesis on the use of elements of Basque to create tendentious neologisms is fulfilled.

What a Difference Does Time Make? Framing Media Discourse on Refugees and Migrants in Croatia in Two Periods

There is plenty of research on media framing of marginalized and “othered” groups, including refugees and migrants. A lot has been said about the 2015– 2016 refugee crisis, but much less scholarly interest has been put on the 2018– 2019 re-emergence of refugees and migrants on outer borders of the EU and the ways member states have responded to the problem. This paper is focused on analysing similarities and differences in framing of refugees and migrants in the Croatian media in two distinct time periods: 2015–2016 and 2018. The paper is based on applying content analysis and descriptive statistics to articles from four daily newspapers in order to find out how the people coming to Croatia were presented in the media; what they were called, in which sense (positive, neutral, negative) they were presented to the public, and how the media presentation changed over time. The analysis has shown a certain degree of specific political, economic, and societal contexts mediated to, and in turn mediated by, the media’s framing of refugees/migrants. While the predominant frame remained neutral, as per norms of journalistic profession, the change in ideological stance of the government - from social democrats, who put humanitarian elements first, to conservatives, whose focus was security-based - coincided with the relative rise in the number of articles with a negative portrayal of the migrant issue.

Analysis and Forecast of Mining Accidents in Pakistan

In the mining sector, the barrier to obtain an efficient safety management system is the unavailability of future information regarding the accidents. This paper aims to use the auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, for the first time, to evaluate the underlying causes that affect the safety management system corresponding to the number of accidents and fatalities in the surface and underground mining in Pakistan. The original application of the ARIMA model provides that how the number of accidents and fatalities is influenced by the implementation of various approaches to promote an effective safety management system. The ARIMA model requires the data series of the predicted elements with a random pattern over time and produce an equation. After the model identification, it may forecast the future pattern of the events based on its existing and future values. In this research work, the accident data for the period of 2006-2019-is collected from Inspectorate of Mines and Minerals (Pakistan), Mine Workers Federation, and newspapers in order to evaluate the long-term forecast. The results obtained reveal that ARIMA (2, 1, 0) is a suitable model for both the mining accidents and the workers’ fatalities. The number of accidents and fatalities are forecasted from 2020 to 2025. The results obtained suggest that the policy-makers should take a systematic consideration by evaluating the possible risks associated with an increased number of accidents and fatalities, and develop a safe and effective working platform.

Accounting Curriculum in the Digital Era: Suggestions for Preparing Botswana’s Tertiary Accounting Graduates

The research is financed by BA ISAGO University, P.Bag BR94, Gaborone, Botswana Abstract Some educational institutions’ might not have developed curricula that are in line with digital technology for future accounting professionals (Islam, 2017). It is imperative that tertiary institutions in Botswana should prudently consider developing or incorporating new learning outcomes and competencies in accounting curricula against digital technological changes when preparing accounting graduates for the industry. Secondary and desktop research was engaged through intensive reports from large global and regional Professional Accounting Organisations (PAOs) such as ACCA, CIMA, BICA, SAICA, AAT and ICAEW which consulted with their various international stakeholders and the industry towards future accountants’ skills and competencies. These are mostly government-sponsored professional qualifications in Botswana except for ICAEW and SAICA which will balance as additional international and regional PAOs. More research was also sought from journals, publications, discussion and opinion papers as well as newspapers in order to collate the digital and technological competencies that are suggested. This paper therefore seeks to alert the Botswana educational curriculum developers to consider and incorporate new technologies that will prepare Botswana for dynamic, world-class and competitive accounting graduates in tertiary institutions towards the changing accounting profession. The findings showed that the accounting profession’s digital skills gap can be closed by incorporating cloud computing, big data, eXtensible Business Reporting (XBRL), artificial intelligence, machine learning and similar in Botswana accounting graduates’ curriculum.

Breast Cancer messaging in Vietnam: an online media content analysis

BackgroundBreast cancer incidence is increasing in Vietnam with studies indicating low levels of knowledge and awareness and late presentation. While there is a growing body of literature on challenges faced by women in accessing breast cancer services, and for delivering care, no studies have sought to analyse breast cancer messaging in the Vietnamese popular media. The aim of this study was to investigate and understand the content of messages concerning breast cancer in online Vietnamese newspapers in order to inform future health promotional content.MethodsThis study describes a mixed-methods media content analysis that counted and ranked frequencies for media content (article text, themes and images) related to breast cancer in six Vietnamese online news publications over a twelve month period.ResultsMedia content (n = 129 articles & n = 237 images) sampled showed that although information is largely accurate, there is a marked lack of stories about Vietnamese women’s personal experiences. Such stories could help bridge the gap between what information about breast cancer is presented in the Vietnamese media, and what women in Vietnam understand about breast cancer risk factors, symptoms, screening and treatment.ConclusionsGiven findings from other studies indicating low levels of knowledge and women with breast cancer experiencing stigma and prejudice, more nuanced and in-depth narrative-focused messaging may be required.

Investigating the Relevant Agro Food Keyword in Malaysian Online Newspapers

Online newspaper is a valuable resource of information for decision making. To extract relevant information from them is a challenging process when their volume is massive, and its knowledge is in an unstructured form that is scattered on every page. This situation becomes more complicated when different news providers have different styles of journalism when reporting a similar event and use different concepts and terms. In this study, we examined the three Malaysian English online newspapers in order to identify knowledge in terms of the most relevant keywords used in daily online news. The news articles related to Agro-food industries were taken from online news websites - The Star Online, The Sun Daily, and The News Straits Times. During the extraction, about 458 Agro-food industries news articles were scrapped from the website within the time frame of 2014-2017. The keywords were extracted using the RAKE algorithm and were classified into 4 groups i.e. agriculture, livestock, fishery and miscellaneous. The agriculture keywords group was found as the most frequent keywords in all newspapers (58%) and it was followed by the livestock (23%), fishery (12%), and miscellaneous (7%). Through the analysis, there were 146 Agro-related keywords found in all newspapers, repeated 720 times, and the highest Agro terms were found in The Star Online (35.13%), followed by The Sun Daily (33.78%), and The News Straits Times (31.08%). There were 12 Agro keywords0 which considered as the most relevant when they appear in all newspapers- palm oil, rice, fruits, fish, vegetable, livestock, paddy, crop, chicken, animal, meat, and beef. The ‘palm oil’ is the most popular keyword among the three newspapers and it was found 37 times (38.9%) in The Star Online, 26 times (37.9%) in News Straits Time, and repeated 22 times (23.2%) in the Sun. The identified keywords can be recommended as input to form a future Agro inventory.

XX. Yüzyıl Başlarında İzmir Basınında Reklam

Izmir has become a centre of attraction for the capital owners of Western European countries that have completed the process of industrialization. As a window to the west, Izmir is no different from the European cities in the early 20th century in terms of cultural and social aspects. For this reason, local and foreign brands advertised in local newspapers in order to market their products and bring them together with consumers. On the advertisement pages of the newspapers, the consumer can find all kinds of products even the ones that are not looked for. This makes commercials invaluable resources in terms of reflecting the social and economic picture of the period. These ads which are particularly rich in content are used not only for product promotion but also for promoting a service to the public. It is observed that these services are mainly about healthcare.

Food risk communication: analysis of the media coverage of food risk on Italian online daily newspapers

The present study analysed the media coverage of food risk in the online editions of the four leading Italian daily newspapers in order to explore which topics were mainly covered and which aspects were preferably stressed. The media coverage was compared to data published on the RASFF Portal, in order to verify whether the selected sources worked promoting adequate information about food risks, or rather responding to news making criteria. Time series and content analysis were conducted on 2286 food risk news published between 2010 and 2014. The RASFF Portal returned 2697 alert notifications that were analysed and compared with the media coverage results. Findings show that apart from media peaks the selected sources generally cover food risk without much variability. The great majority of RASFF data did not receive specific mention among the news articles analysed, suggesting that the selected sources cover food safety issues responding more to a gate keeping bias. In relation to food incidents that generated major coverage, apart from the 2011 E. coli outbreak, the media were functioning conveying alarmist messages rather than informing and mitigating risks.
