This article examines the coverage of Al-Quds/Jerusalem issues by Palestinian political parties, FATAH and HAMAS, on their affiliated television channels, Palestine TV and Aqsa TV, respectively. The study aims to investigate the influence of political parties and religious perspectives on the coverage of Al-Quds and determine the significance of Al-Quds as a national issue for Palestinians. The study focuses on the period surrounding the relocation of the American embassy to Al-Quds, from 13 May to 19 May 2018, where 24 Arabic news broadcasts were collected. The study utilizes the Agenda Setting Theory to analyze the role of Aqsa TV in shaping public opinion and perceptions of Al-Quds. Through content analysis of prime-time news broadcasts from both channels during a specific week, the findings reveal differences in the prioritized topics, placement within the news, media formats employed, and duration of coverage. Palestine TV emphasizes the civil aspects of Al-Quds from a national perspective. At the same time, Aqsa TV highlights the religious significance of the Islamic-Jewish conflict. The study concludes that the news coverage of Al-Quds reflects the political agendas of FATAH and HAMAS and suggests further research on the contrasting portrayals of Al-Quds issues in Palestinian and Israeli media.

Women, stereotypes and representations in communication. Gender roles in prime time news programmes in Cuba, Portugal and Spain

El artículo resume los principales resultados de una investigación que se acerca al rol de la mujer y los estereotipos de género presentes en el panorama comunicativo audiovisual de Cuba, Portugal y España, representados en los espacios informativos de prime time de las cadenas públicas de televisión de estos países. Se realiza un análisis tanto del lugar que desempeña la mujer como profesional de la comunicación y, por tanto, ente emisor de mensajes; como de su representación, desde el estudio de los roles en los que se muestra y los estereotipos manifestados en los discursos transmitidos. Se parte de una investigación bibliográfico-documental que permite la conceptualización de los principales sustentos teóricos que asisten al tema, la definición de categorías y la generación de una guía de análisis que es aplicada a cada emisión. Se toman como muestra de estudio dos emisiones de los informativos Noticiero Nacional de Televisión, Telejornal y Telediario, pertenecientes a las cadenas públicas Televisión Cubana, Radio y Televisión de Portugal y Televisión Española, respectivamente. A partir de la triangulación constante, los hallazgos se van contrastando y complementando con las características propias de cada país y la teoría de partida. Se concluye que, a diferencia de las concepciones iniciales de partida y lo que podría inferirse de estudios previos, en los informativos analizados las mujeres poseen una presencia significativa como comunicadoras y su representación no refleja en un grado elevado los estereotipos y roles tradicionales que generalmente se les atribuyen.

Editorial Gatekeeping in Sports News During Prime Time Television in a Public Broadcaster

Abstract Introduction. Based on Shoemaker's model of gatekeeping, this study addresses two questions: What social representations of sports are promoted by the prime time news program of the public television broadcaster Radio Televisão Portuguesa (RTP)? How do editors assess sports news stories during the editorial decision-making process? Material and Methods. For this, we quantitatively examined all the sports content in the prime time ‘Telejornal’ daily news program of RTP during a trimester. Moreover, we studied the factors that influenced editorial decisions, by conducting naturalistic participant observation and semi-structured interviews. Results. Results indicate that facts of greater public protagonism, which cause a significant emotional reaction and are relatable to the public, are more newsworthy. The main constraints influencing the editorial decisions were organized in three co-dependent areas: Social System (macro level), RTP Organization (meso level) and Telejornal Newsroom (micro level). Conclusions. Findings contribute to a reduction in social stereotypes created by television broadcasters, and to sports actors optimizing their communication strategy.

Political campaigning in India: changing contexts of political communication

ABSTRACT This volume focuses on the dynamic, distinctive and diverse aspects of political campaigning in India’s varied information ecosystems during the 2019 Lok Sabha election. This introductory essay reviews important research in the field of political communication and campaigning, and distinctive forms of campaigning in historically important Indian elections, before discussing innovations and technologies in political campaigning in India since the 1950s. Greater access to low-cost smartphones and the internet since 2016 has meant that in most of the states studied in this volume, social media played a larger role in 2019 than previously. This volume brings together empirical evidence in two thematic case studies–one on how parties use massive campaign rallies to impact prime-time news agendas and another on misinformation on social media – along with five case studies on the most distinctive forms of political campaigning in the varied subnational contexts of West Bengal, Assam, Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. The concluding essay compares highlights from these case studies, discusses campaign research methods, and identifies opportunities for future research on political campaigning in India.

Colorado advocates introduce bill to address workforce shortage

In the past two years, the number of Coloradans who didn't receive mental health or substance use care that they needed nearly doubled. Yet, in 2019, Colorado's behavioral health workforce only met 30% of the state's need, My Prime Time News reported Feb. 28. Mental Health Colorado, Rep. Rod Pelton (R) and Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D) just introduced House Bill 21‐1021 to significantly alleviate the workforce gap through peer support services. According to Mental Health Colorado, Medicaid only reimburses peer support services in a very limited range of settings, which limits the scope of peer support services in other settings such as OB/GYN clinics and emergency departments. “Peers are an essential component of Colorado's health care workforce and contribute to better outcomes for people with mental health and substance use conditions,” said Mental Health Colorado President and CEO Vincent Atchity. House Bill 21‐1021 would improve how peer support services are billed under Medicaid and clarify that peer support professionals can utilize telehealth in providing and billing for services, among other improvements to peer‐delivered services. Efforts to pass the bill are led by Mental Health Colorado, with support from the Colorado Children's Campaign, the Colorado Cross‐Disability Coalition, the Colorado Mental Wellness Network and the National Alliance on Mental Illness Colorado.

Danıştay’ın Andımız Kararının Ana Haber Bültenlerinde Sunumunun Ulusal Kimlik Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi

Ancak ulusal kimlik söz konusu olduğunda kimliğin belirsiz, ayrıştırıcı ve muğlak tarafı yok olmakta bizin(Türk milletinin) size(yabancıya) karşı duruşu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bireysel kimliklerin çok sayılılığı ve ayrıştırıcılığı ulusal kimlik söz konusu olduğunda ortadan kaybolmakta öz/ana/asıl/üst kimlik olan ulusal kimlik kavramı ön plana çıkmaktadır. 18 Ekim 2018 tarihinde Danıştay 8. Dairesi ilköğretim okullarında okutulan Öğrenci Andını kaldıran yönetmeliği iptal ettiğini açıklamıştı. Ulusal kimliğin insanlara anlatılmasında bütün yapılara önemli görevler düşmektedir. Kitle iletişim araçlarınınözellikle televizyonun- ulusal kimliğin insanlara anlatılmasında oldukça etkili olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Bu anlamda çalışma ulusal kimlik kavramının ve alt bileşenlerine ait kavramların (milliyetçilik/etnisite/ulus gibi) kitle iletişim araçlarından doğru şekilde sunulduğunda toplumları ayrıştırmaktan ziyade birleştirecekleri varsayımına dayanmaktadır. Çalışma, kimliğe dair değerlendirmelerde öteki konumuna geçebilen, otoriteyle/iktidarla ilişkileri farklılık gösteren, dünya görüşleri birbirleriyle aynılık göstermeyen 3 farklı televizyon kanalının(ATV, TRT-1 ve FOX TV) Danıştay’ın Öğrenci Andı kararının haber bültenlerinde sunumlarını inceleyerek ortaya çıkmıştır. Çalışmada ana haber bültenleri değerlendirilirken içerik çözümlemesi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Yine çalışmada literatür taraması yapılarak kavramsal bileşenler tanımlanmıştır.
