G-20 Summit Coverage on Television Media: Quantitative Framing Analysis on Three National Television News Programs

“Tem uma hora que você tem que puxar o gatilho!”: discurso de ódio, apologia e incitação ao crime na TV no pós-eleições 2022

This article analyzes evidence of hate speech, incitement and apology for crime in television news programs in three critical moments of Brazilian democracy. The objective is to investigate the role played by Brazilian TV in the propagation and normalization of hate speech and incitement to criminal practices against the democratic rule of law. To investigate its roots, we examine media-driven penal populism and the conceptual contours of hate speech. Six episodes of the programs "Os Pingo nos Is" and "Alerta Nacional" were analyzed in conjunction with Critical Discourse Studies.

The Practical Application of Film and Television Packaging Art in Television News Programs

Film and television packaging art plays a crucial role in television news programs. By employing film and television packaging, television news programs can achieve more sophisticated production and higher levels of visual effects, thereby enhancing the program's visibility and appeal and strengthening its communication effectiveness. The application of film and television packaging art is wide-ranging, including aspects such as title design, image and visual effects, sound design, and color and style. Successful television news programs often leverage the advantages of film and television packaging art to garner audience recognition and attention. With the continuous innovation and development of film and television packaging technology, the film and television packaging of television news programs in the future will have more possibilities, bringing viewers more rich, vivid, and immersive visuals.

Архетип мифологического героя в новостных сюжетах о пандемии Covid-19

The article explores the mythological model of reality construction that underlies television news programs on domestic and Western TV channels. Analyzing the main trends and contradictions in visual image functioning within the media over the past decade reveals the creation of symbolic reality as a means for people’s spiritual and practical orientation in everyday life. In today’s media culture, which is saturated with visual images, the interpretation of what is seen in the context of simulacra, recognizable visual codes, and strict construction models, becomes crucial. Deciphering the hidden meanings embedded in media materials forms the basis for understanding the cultural context of society. The Covid-19 pandemic, apart from being an informational event that affected numerous countries, also emerged as a factor influencing various economic and demographic processes. Within the media, this topic has developed into a self-contained narrative with its own plotline, characters, and actions, characteristic of a mythological cliché. It delves into matters of human life and death, thus tapping into the primordial fears and unexplored depths of the viewer’s consciousness. The analysis highlights that the media employ a mythological structure when constructing reality and providing information about the pandemic.

G20 Summit Coverage on Television Media: Quantitative Framing Analysis on Three National Television News Programs

Indonesia for the first time in history became the chairman and acted as the host (presidency) of the Group of 20 (G20) cooperation forum which was held in November 2022. As the holder of the G20 presidency, Indonesia's role was highlighted and received full attention from various mass media, both national and international. The media with its hegemonic interpretation can create a positive or negative image of the government and the state. In the production and dissemination of news, the media represent countries, regions, and continents by constructing concepts, images, and identities as conveyed by the selected news source. This study aims to explore how television coverage in Indonesia represented by three national news televisions (TVOne, Metro TV and Kompas TV) chooses news sources, framing, and determines the tone of news for the G20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia. The method used in this study is comparative content analysis with the Chi-Square test to determine whether there are significant differences among media in the use of news sources, framing, and news tone. The results showed that most of the news broadcast by the three national television media was frameless, which was 52%, while the most widely used frame was conflict and attraction in the same percentage at 15%. Most of the news content from the three television media about Indonesia's leadership in the G20 was delivered in a positive tone, and there was no significant difference between the three media in terms of news content.

In Case You Haven't Heard…

Our story on the federal government's exclusion policy banning formerly addicted doctors and nurses from billing Medicare or Medicaid for 5 years even after they have been abstinent for years—and in one case, the conviction was expunged—completed drug court and treatment, have their licenses back, are in good standing with their medical boards and are practicing medicine (see “Case studies: Formerly addicted doctor and nurse can't bill Medicare or Medicaid,” ADAW, Aug. 14; https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adaw.33862) caught the eye of a television news program in Albany, New York. The ADAW editor was interviewed for that program on the story, and on the “unfair and punitive” policy, in the words of Peter Grinspoon, M.D., who was not a victim of the policy but who himself had been addicted to prescription opioids. Health care providers can easily obtain prescription opioids, of course, but if they do not obtain them legally, such as taking a medication meant for a patient or asking someone else to fill prescriptions for them, that is a felony. Also on the show was a nurse who fell victim to the policy.

As a reporter used to asking questions myself, I found the experience stressful but was grateful for such an intelligent and well‐informed interviewer.

Verification of the Public Discourse and Accountability of Mayors on Local TV: The Case of Ecuador

The purpose of the research is to determine the veracity and contexts of the statements of Ecuador's mayors using fact-checking methodology. The research questions are: Are the public testimonies of mayors presented in local television news programmes true? What are the circumstances in which mayors present their speeches? To what extent does local journalism contextualize the mayors' statements? The research is descriptive and relational, using qualitative methodology based on the Ecuador Chequea protocol, focus groups and semi-structured interviews. A sample of audiovisual pieces broadcast between February 2020 and March 2022 was obtained. The statements are grouped in 10 axes, showing correspondence with the functions determined in the law. The statements of the governors are true, the proximity helps direct accountability, but weaknesses such as excessive prominence, publicity and short-term interests can be appreciated. Analyses of the quality of the declarations are needed, in broad pieces and with the corresponding cultural and political contexts. Efforts to make public administration transparent is a key aspect of open and e-government that will be achieved as long as citizens' information literacy is achieved.

Trends in media consumption in Ukraine in the wartime

The aim of the article is investigating and analysing current trends in changes and development of media consumption caused by Russia's aggression against Ukraine, identifying its main problematic aspects and prospects. Analyses results. The article is underlining the basic trends of media consumption in Ukraine during the war and compares them with the pre-war period, i.e., the way in which people interact with different forms of media, such as television, the Internet, print publications and radio. Understanding these trends is important for media companies, advertisers, and policymakers, as it can help to fulfil decisions about content creation and distribution, as well as advertising strategies. Recent years have seen a shift in media consumption habits, with more and more people turning to digital platforms for news and entertainment. The emergence of streaming services, social networks and mobile devices has significantly affected traditional media consumption models. This has led to the decline of traditional forms of media such as newspapers and television and the rise of online news sources and video streaming platforms. In Ukraine, television is the most popular form of media. According to polls, in 2020, more than 80% of the population watches TV every day. The Internet is also becoming increasingly popular, with over 60% of the population using it regularly. The use of print media, such as newspapers and magazines, is declining. It is worth noting that media consumption habits may vary by region, age, and other factors, so the data may not be representative of all groups in Ukraine. Ukraine is witnessing an increase in Internet consumption and the use of social media. Online television and video services, as well as messengers and mobile applications, are also popular. Local information resources and media are also widely favored in Ukraine. In the future, audience measurement will increasingly move towards a more holistic model in line with the fragmented and growing system of audiovisual components, technologies and services that work together to create audiovisual experiences for users. The main purpose of using all types of information sources is to receive news about the situation in Ukraine. Thus, from 72 to 82% indicated this purpose for the top sources. Conventionally (because they are intertwined with other content and news), international news is in second place (47% overall), and local news (from their city or village - 35% overall) is in third place. Only in 15.5% of cases, the respondents' goal was to be entertained or distracted. However, the war has resulted in restrictions on the free flow of information, primarily through hostile and false web resources, telegram and other channels, censorship and propaganda. This means that people have limited access to diverse and independent news sources, which affects the quality and reliability of the information they receive. To some extent, this protects against the negative informational impact of unacceptable realistic information. In addition, in times of war, the government restricts access to certain hostile types of media, such as social media, to control the narrative and prevent the spread of information that could be harmful to national interests. Conclusions and directions for further research. War has a significant impact on media consumption, both in terms of the content consumed and the way it is consumed. During the war, Ukrainians increasingly turn to news sources for information about the situation at the front and the course of events. This leads to an increase in media consumption related to news content and channels such as television news programs, news websites and radio news broadcasts, social media (Telegram channels, YouTube channels, etc.). Also, in the areas where the fighting is ongoing, people have limited access to any form of media due to the lack of infrastructure, security and displacement issues. In general, the war has had a very significant impact on media consumption, both in terms of the content consumed and the way it is consumed, and has led to restrictions on access to diverse and independent news sources, censorship, and propaganda. The change in content and consumption vector has led to changes in preferences and consumer preferences. Therefore, it is important to further observe and study media consumption trends.

Imagen y Poder: representaciones, discursos y politica en Iberoamerica

Through a conceptual work on the relevance of television news programs in the construction of imaginaries and ideologies, this paper aims to analyze the configuration of meanings that television news programs distribute on the social field and reflect on the way in which these meanings exert a symbolic power that contributes to the shaping of social reality and people's daily lives. Therefore, what is problematized here is the relationship between images, symbolic power and everyday life., focusing on the media construction of social reality and on the modus operandi of ideology that can be detected in the newscasts.

THE SPECIFICS OF REPRODUCING UKRAINIAN SOCIO-POLITICAL REALIA IN THE GERMAN MEDIA SPACE (BASED ON NEWS BROADCASTS)

The article examines the concept of "realia", in particular, analyzes the reproduction of Ukrainian socio-political realities in the German media space on the basis of television news broadcasts of the German TV channels ARD and ZDF. Realities, as cultural elements, are an integral part of everyday life, history, culture, politics and social life of a particular people, country or nation and have no direct equivalents, no complete correspondences, in other cultures or countries. Particular attention is paid to the types of Ukrainian socio-political realia and their classification. The predominance of the use of socio-political realia related to the authorities and their representatives (33%) and military realia (34%) was recorded. The possibilities of reproducing Ukrainian socio-political realia in television news programs are based on several basic translation techniques: transcoding, tracing, approximate translation (hyperonymic renaming, use of functional analog, descriptive translation) and combined renaming. The choice of translation methods and strategies should be adapted to the type of text and aimed at achieving maximum adequacy in conveying information to the target audience. In the news, as one of the types of informational texts intended for a wide audience, the use of certain translation techniques is pragmatically justified. The use of calquing, combined renomination and clarifying translation in news discourse brings reality closer to the German-speaking recipient, providing a better understanding of not only the denotative meaning but also the connotative one. Adequate translation of realia in a time of war not only affects the perception of information in general, but also shapes the general public's personal opinion on events. The relevance of the study is to clarify the peculiarities of translating the socio-political realia in wartime and to identify their impact on the perception of information about events in Ukraine by German-speaking recipients, as well as to take into account the presupposition during translation. Due to the wide variety of ways of reproducing Ukrainian realia, we can talk about the need to create a glossary with unified adequate translations, which is the prospect of our further research.

THE SPECIFICS OF REPRODUCING UKRAINIAN SOCIO-POLITICAL REALIA IN THE GERMAN MEDIA SPACE (BASED ON NEWS BROADCASTS)

У статті викладено результати аналізу відтворення українських соціально-політичних реалій у німецькому медійному просторі на матеріалі телевізійних випусків новин німецьких телеканалів АRD та ZDF. Реалії як культурні елементи, є невід’ємною частиною повсякденного життя, історії, культури, політики та суспільного життя певного народу, країни чи нації та не мають прямих еквівалентів, повних відповідників, в інших культурах чи країнах. Особливу увагу приділено типам українських соціально-політичних реалій та їх класифікації. Зафіксовано переважання використання суспільно-політичних реалій, які стосуються органів влади та їх представників (33%), а також військових реалій (34%). Можливості відтворення українських суспільно-політичних реалій у випусках телевізійних новин базуються на декількох основних перекладацьких прийомах: транскодуванні, калькуванні, приблизному перекладі (гіперонімічному перейменуванні, використанні функціонального аналога, описовому перекладі) та комбінованій реномінації. Вибір методів та стратегій перекладу має бути адаптованим до типа тексту та спрямованим на досягнення максимальної адекватності у передачі інформації цільовій аудиторії. У новинах, як одному з видів інформаційних текстів, призначених для широкої аудиторії, застосування певних перекладацьких прийомів є прагматично обґрунтованим. Застосування калькування, комбінованої реномінації та уточнюючого перекладу у новинному дискурсі наближають реалію до німецькомовного реципієнта, забезпечують краще розуміння не лише денотативного значення, а й конотативного. Адекватний переклад реалій в умовах війни не лише впливає на сприйняття інформації в цілому, але й формує особисту думку широкої публіки на події. Актуальність дослідження полягає у з’ясуванні особливостей перекладу суспільно-політичних реалій в умовах війни та виявленні їх впливу на сприйняття інформації про події в Україні німецькомовними реципієнтами, а також врахуванні пресупозиції під час перекладу. Через велику варіативність способів відтворення українських реалій можна говорити про необхідність створення глосарію з уніфікованими адекватними перекладами, що є перспективою дослідження.

The Integration of Traditional Broadcasters with Artificial Intelligence in Television News Programmes

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a powerful force in technological development over the last decade, creating a new wave of technology worldwide, led by China and the United States, with solid but different development momentum. Therefore, understanding Chinese social media’s current attitudes and tendencies towards AI is crucial to understanding the future direction of AI development. Artificial intelligence technology is applied to various fields, and media is one of them. The advent of the 5G era and the emergence of AI anchors have hugely impacted the media sector. In this paper, we analyse the advantages of human presenters and the measures that news presenters can take in the face of challenges in the AI era so that practitioners are aware of the impact of AI technology on the media industry and the importance of improving their capabilities.

Waardes, Verwagtings en Bevredigings van Suid-Afrikaanse T elevisienuuskykers

THIS Investigation examines the audience experience with television news in South Africa and presents a process model of uses and gratifications based upon an expectancy-value approach. The prime objective was accomplished when three reliable scales for the measure ment of values attached to television news Items; expectations about finding such news-items; and gratification of these ex pectations were developed. A significant correlation between all three scales was in dicated, although the correlation between values and expectations was much stronger than the correlation between values and gratifications. While the correlation between expectations and gratifications was still significant, it was also much lower than the correlation between values and expecta tions. This finding provides evidence against the criticism that since a gratification is ex pected and sought, it must necessarily be obtained. Instead, it is found that television news programmes in South Africa, while ef fective, are imperfect providers of news related gratifications sought. To cast addi tional light on the relative lower correlation between expectations and gratifications, the degree of dependence on television news as primary source was taken into ac count.

Reframing South African TV news as peace journalism

This article presents an indicative sample from the results of an experiment that gatheredaudience responses to television news that was coded as “war journalism” and “peacejournalism” respectively, in South Africa, during April 2012. From the peace journalism model,evaluative criteria were derived under a set of five headings for content analysis of two televisionnews programmes and four newspapers. Distinctions under the headings were particularisedfor individual stories by critical discourse analysis to disclose potential sources of influencetransmitted into audience frames. The test material was then coded to fall within the upper andlower peace journalism quartiles of the ‘idiom and range’ of journalism, as currently practised,demonstrated by the content analysis. Transcripts of discussions by focus groups who saw thematerial, as well as written notes made whilst viewing by a larger sample of participants, werethemed according to Entman’s model of framing (1993), where causal interpretation is linked totreatment recommendation. From these interim findings, peace journalism proved to be ideationalin the sense that peace journalism viewers were more likely to perceive structural and/or systemicexplanations for problems, and more likely to see opportunities for therapeutic and/or cooperativeremedies to be applied through exertions of political agency from different levels.

“Yes, We Do Want to Subvert and Corrupt Young People”

In 1992, the British television news program Dispatches aired clips from a video described as the first ever, eyewitness proof of satanically motivated child abuse. Days later, newspapers reported that the video was misrepresented. The clips were drawn from First Transmissions, an experimental video produced by Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (T.O.P.Y.) a geographically disperse occult collective committed to subverting mainstream media. This article provides a detailed history of this incident. First, it uses the event as an entrée into T.O.P.Y.’s magickal media activism. Second, it locates the groups’ inadvertent appearance on Dispatches within sweeping changes to the late-20th-century media landscape. Providing this context demonstrates how new possibilities in the production and circulation of audiovisual media provoked religious conflicts and concerns for radical occultists and conservative television journalists alike. While T.O.P.Y.’s uses of media were intended to enable individual self-actualization and to undermine established institutions, their detractors on Dispatches figured underground media economies as sites of satanic conspiracy and worked to discipline their creators.

TRANSLATION OF LACUNA IN SUBTITLES FROM GERMAN INTO UKRAINIAN

This article deals with the concept of «linguistic lacunarity» and the analysis of the translation of lacuna, or the so-called «white spots» of the translation, from German into Ukrainian in the subtitles of television news programs of the German TV channel ZDF is carried out. Lacuna are lexical units, for the translation of which there is no direct equivalent. This is caused by different linguistic pictures of the world. They are also called non-equivalent vocabulary. E. Koseriu believes that the translation of lacuna is firstly the translation of a communicative situation, which the translator must first understand, and then qualitatively reproduce in the translation. And therefore, the most common strategy for the reproduction of lacuna is, in his opinion, descriptive translation. Modern translation studies is aimed at solving this problem, which covers various spheres of human life. In particular, this article examines the lacunae found in journalism. Firstly, the current topic of the coronavirus pandemic, economy and politics is investigated. The relevance of this study lies in the insufficient study of the issue of lacunarity in the German-Ukrainian language pair and the translation of lacuna in subtitles. In addition, audiovisual translation, subtitling has certain technical and contextual features that must also be taken into account. The study showed that descriptive translation, transcoding methods (transcription and transliteration) with and without explanation, full and partial calque are used to translate lacuna. In order to create an adequate and understandable translation for the recipient, the translator requires not only a high level of language skills and knowledge of cultural features, but also the ability to use search engines, erudition and creativity.

Polarized disinformation. The coverage of US presidential election by Polish TV

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: Analysis of how the 2020 US presidential election was covered and framed by Polish television news programs, and whether the polarization of media and politics in Poland was reflected in the studied content, influencing its bias.
 THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The analysis of the coverage of the US presidential campaign by three nationwide TV news programs – TVN, TVP and Polsat by using content analysis with elements of framing analysis and comparative analysis.
 THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The article consists of four parts: the first explains the methodology of the study, the second discusses how presidential elections are covered and framed and what influences the national media being interested in covering foreign events. The third part presents the results of the study, and the last contains the discussion and conclusions.
 RESEARCH RESULTS: The coverage was dichotomous and there was a correlation between the political affiliation of the media and their choice of framing. The media used a combination of game, strategy and conflict framing that highlighted differences between Trump and Biden in terms of the election results and their personal attributes. We found that the electoral rivalry was portrayed as a conflict between the candidates and that the Polish media constructed “enemy” images of candidates and voters depending on their political sympathies.
 CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The polarization of media and politics in Poland was reflected in the coverage of the US election. The broadcasters placed Polish political conflicts in the context of the US campaign. It shows that foreign events may be covered by national media through the prism of political bias.

Analysis of the Artistic Elements of Broadcast Hosting Based on Media Speech Corpus

Whether it is speech synthesis research or speech recognition research, it depends on the construction of excellent speech corpus at the back end to some extent. The phonetic corpus includes three forms: text database, phonetic database and acoustic parameter database. Based on phonetic facts, it serves the basic research of language and the processing of language modernization technology through the functions of natural phonetic collection, phonetic annotation, retrieval and statistics. The purpose of the construction of the media corpus is to serve the research of the audio language of the media, especially the prosody research of the host language. Broadcasting and hosting is an important part of radio and television, and the diversity and richness of modern radio and television programs also put forward new requirements for broadcasting and hosting. Broadcasting determines the basic style, purpose and orientation of radio and television news programs. In the media industry, the status of broadcasting and hosting art is gradually highlighted. Under the background of media convergence, broadcasting and hosting art needs to be developed in more advanced technical fields, and the media voice corpus is an important product created by the development of science and technology.
