Framing Analysis of Israel-Palestine Conflict News on Online Media Detik.com and Republika.co.id

The conflict between Israel and Palestine has become a humanitarian tragedy and is in the spotlight of the world's mass media. This research seeks to determine the framing of the coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki's analysis model. Two leading online media, detik.com and republika.co.id, were selected as research objects because they have a long history, different audiences, and contrasting approaches to reporting, which reflect their views and handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is a qualitative study; data was collected through observation, documentation, and literature study. The analysis results found that detik.com and republika.co.id syntactically present the facts clearly; the script fulfills the 5W + 1H elements with credible source quotes. The thematic structure of detik.com emphasizes the number of victims due to Israeli attacks on Palestine. The rhetorical structure of detik.com contains idioms and displays photos relevant to the news content. The thematic structure of republika.co.id emphasizes the form of Israeli attacks on the Jabalia Refugee Camp. The rhetorical structure contains idioms and photos relevant to the news content. Detik.com frames the news by using the figurative word "bak neraka dunia” (like hell on earth) so that it seems dramatized in its point of view, while republika.co.id is more straightforward in writing sentences and reporting.

METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING GENRES OF MEDIA LANGUAGE STYLE IN THE MEDIA

This article talks about the fact that today the ability to select and correctly evaluate information in the world's mass media is becoming relevant, and it is necessary to develop media literacy skills and habits from childhood so that consumers can critically analyze mass media.

THE MATRIX OF A POETIC WORK: PROBLEMS OF TRANSLATION (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF THE TURKISH TRANSLATION OF "CONTRA SPEM SPERO" BY LESYA UKRAINKA)

The translation of fiction plays an important role in the knowledge of the "other". Today, the news about Ukraine comes from the entire world's mass media because of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, because of the pain and grief that the Ukrainian people are experiencing. But do all civilized countries know well the "other" – Ukrainians, their history, traditions, culture, or is cultural material and artistic material – poetry, prose, drama, written by Ukrainian authors well presented in the world languages? Unfortunately, it is not enough, and each new translation of Ukrainian literature into foreign languages brings one step closer to familiarity with Ukrainians, their internal culture, sense of dignity, self-sacrifice, civic position, and patriotism. The Ukrainian art includes many talented names, each of which deserves more than one study.

Survey Methods in Multinational, Multiregional, and Multicultural Contexts Book Review

The book Survey Methods in Multinational, Multiregional, and Multicultural Contexts (3M) was written by eight editors, reviewing the process of multi-sample, cross-country, and cross-cultural surveys, based on 31 chapters in eight parts. Each part starts with the determination of a survey involving various countries. This book sees the smaller world from an academic point of view. The purpose of this book is to draw attention to important changes in the comparative method, identify research with new methods, and help indicate the need for researchers to identify linguistic and literary problems that have not been addressed before. Several ways, preparation, process, and research challenges are described in this book relate to the determination of questionnaires, adaptation of language, culture, even if there is no response or there are obstacles to state regulation. 3M research is the embryo of the concept of big data that developed into global research because of the internet of things. This book can be an appropriate guide for 3M survey research. Based on the substance of this book review, reviewers recommend four books as further reading, namely (1) Advances in Comparative Survey Methods: Multinational, Multiregional, and Multicultural Contexts (3MC), (2) Big Data Analysis and Deep Learning Applications: Proceeding of the First International Conference on Big Data Analysis and Deep Learning, (3) Global Journalism: Survey of International Communication, and (4) Global Journalism: A Survey of the World's Mass Media.

About this title - Subaqueous Mass Movements and Their Consequences: Assessing Geohazards, Environmental Implications and Economic Significance of Subaqueous Landslides

The challenges facing submarine mass movement researchers and engineers are plentiful and exciting. This book follows several high-profile submarine landslide disasters that have reached the world's attention over the past few years. For decades, researchers have been mapping the world's mass movements. Their significant impacts on the Earth by distributing sediment on phenomenal scales is undeniable. Their importance in the origins of buried resources has long been understood. Their hazard potential ranges from damaging to apocalyptic, frequently damaging local infrastructure and sometimes devastating whole coastlines. Moving beyond mapping advances, the subaqueous mass movement scientists and practitioners are now also focussed on assessing the consequences of mass movements, and the measurement and modelling of events, hazard analysis and mitigation. Many state-of-the-art examples are provided in this book, which is produced under the auspices of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation Program S4SLIDE (Significance of Modern and Ancient Submarine Slope LandSLIDEs).

Redefining Exploitation: Self-Employed Workers’ Movements in India's Garments and Trash Collection Industries

AbstractThis article examines how self-employed workers are organizing in the garments and waste collection industries in India. Although the question of who is profiting from self-employed workers’ labor is complex, the cases outlined in this paper highlight telling instances of how some self-employed workers are organizing as workers. They are fighting labor exploitation by redefining the concept to include additional exploitation axes (from the state and middle class) and forms (including sexual). In doing so, they are redefining potential solutions, including identities and material benefits, to fit their unique needs. By expanding the category of “workers” beyond those defined by a narrow focus on a standard employer-employee relationship, these movements are also fighting exclusion from earlier labor protections by increasing the number of entitled beneficiaries. These struggles provide an important corrective to contemporary analyses of labor politics that focus too heavily on the precarious nature of employer-employee relationships and too little on broader definitions of work, exploitation, and protection. These broader definitions better represent the world's mass of vulnerable workers and are being articulated from below.

National interest or business interest: coverage of conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo in The Australian newspaper

Most of the world's mass media have largely ignored the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), despite the fact that it is by far the deadliest conflict in the world today. Other much smaller conflicts are instead chosen to be the subject of intense focus and attention, ostensibly on grounds of relevance to national interest and humanitarian concern. But neither of these rationales holds up to scrutiny. The Australian newspaper is no exception in this sense. This article quantitatively and qualitatively examines coverage of conflict in the DRC in The Australian, comparing it with that of other conflicts and crises, primarily Israel—Palestine, Darfur and Zimbabwe. It concludes that some subjective and narrow perceptions of national interest as well as business interests (producing news that `sells' and following international news flows) serve to explain the DRC's marginalization in The Australian .

Johnny Weissmuller and the Old Global Capitalism: The Origins of the Federal Blueprint for Selling American Culture to the World

Recent scholarship has acknowledged the power at the turn of the twenty-first century of American sport in promoting US products in the new global capitalism. American designs to use sport to promote American commerce and American culture actually date to a much earlier period. Beginning in the 1920s, as the US surpassed Great Britain as the world's most powerful nation, the federal government hatched a plan to use sport to Americanize the globe. Trading on the prowess of American teams at the Olympics, this scheme sought to harness the power of American statecraft and American industry into a program to convert the world's masses to American ways of life. Faced with the problem that the sport which had become the ‘world's game’, soccer football, was not an American national pastime, federal bureaucrats surprisingly settled on swimming as the most viable option for their Americanization campaigns.

The Plague of Ideas

People sense, in these disordered times, that more has changed than words have yet expressed. Ours is a restless, unsettled age, straining between unprecedented hopes and old terrors, bounded on its shining edge by possibilities undreamed of even by our younger selves and on its darker horizon by vast, enduring misery worsened by rekindled hatreds. A world order that defined half a millennium, the age of European imperial domination, ended with the collapse of the Soviet incarnation of the Russian empire, and no unitary political system will replace it in our lifetimes. We have entered a long, inchoate interlude, in which the concentration of wealth and military power in a minority of nations obscures the centrifugal nature of contemporary change. This is an age of breaking down, of the destruction of outgrown forms, of the devolution of power. The process of building again atop the ruins and reorganizing our societies will occupy us at least through the new century. We can be sure of little, only this: the speed of change is without precedent; for the first time in history, change has come to the entire globe, if to differing degrees and with radically different results; and no state or society can rely solely on past forms to shape the future. Comfortable security models and industrial-age warfare between competing powers seem as obsolete as Marxism, while, in much of the world, even the legacy of statehood left behind by the old empires is under threat. Ideological and physical control over populations crumbles relentlessly in every lagging state, and hatreds and blood ties bind where law cannot. Authority sputters, increasingly ignored, wherever humans find it inconvenient. Although the evidence had never fully disappeared, across the last decade the world's ruling and educated classes began rediscovering the primitive nature of man and his unattractive tendencies when civilized constraints are brushed aside. We, the long-empowered, do not know what to do. In these eruptive times, thoughtful men and women have voiced concerns about new or resurrected threats that ignore or exploit national boundaries, both those of robust states and borders that are little more than a pretense hoping for a bribe. Whether speaking of organized crime in its countless mutations, of terrorism, of epidemic disease, of financial manipulations, or of the assaults of digital anarchists, those who would alert us do good service. Yet, the greatest transnational threat is the closest kin to our brightest hopes. Of all the dangers globalization brings, none is so immediate, so destabilizing, and so irresistibly contagious as the onslaught of information--a plague of ideas, good and bad, immune to quarantine or ready cures, under whose assault those societies, states, and even civilizations without acquired resistance to informational disorders will shatter irreparably. Global Infection Several years ago--an antique age by technology's present measure--Americans enjoyed a brief infatuation with books and films about horrific diseases that, once unleashed, might ravage middle-class neighborhoods. While sober attention must be paid to even the least chance of new pandemics, whether sparked by global-man's intrusion on remote territories, or spread by adept madmen or the decay of biological warfare facilities in the former Soviet Union, the alarmists missed the epoch-defining symptoms erupting in front of their faces: For the first time in history, thanks to a dynamic constellation of communications tools, ideas can spread to the world's masses more quickly than epidemic disease. Historically, disease outpaced data, with ideas lagging far behind. Rumors might precede the first fever in a village, but a serious plague reached more human beings far more swiftly than any abstract concept ever did. Disease moved at the speed of human travel--the same velocity as the rawest information. Ideas were, statistically, far slower. …
