Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation asks the basic question of whether Spanish-language newspapers in the U.S. practice advocacy journalism in a 21st century environment where the traditional differences in media ownership have all but been erased. Because ownership of Spanish-language media has fundamentally changed over the past two decades for large, daily publications, this investigation also investigated differences in news frames by language, by ownership and by geographic location. This study focuses on differences in specific, generic, and linguistic framing elements associated with comparing English-language and Spanish-language newspapers. Immigration was chosen as the issue serving as the lens through which this investigation could be undertaken and framing was deemed the proper theoretical framework for a content analysis of daily newspapers in different languages. In total eight newspapers were studied in four U.S. cities – New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami – each home to at least one English- and one Spanish-language daily newspaper. They also happened to be the country’s four largest urban areas, according to the U.S. Census. This investigation reveals that some generalizations – Spanish-language media frames immigration stories from the perspective of immigrants – are generally true. The data found support for the idea that Spanish-language newspapers use more positive/pro-immigrant frames. Hypothesis testing showed activist framing elements could still be found throughout Spanish-language media. And immigration as a significant news issue in general is discussed more prominently in Spanish-language newspapers compared to English-language publications. But such generalizations are not true in all locations. One of the most significant findings is the fact that the Miami market operates in vastly different ways compared to the three others where Spanish-language news dailies operate. In Miami, the same media company owns both the local English-language and Spanish-language daily. In many ways, these dailies are likened to sister-publications sharing major resources and even having the same writers contribute to both publications. Consequently, many of the same frames are found in both publications. This may be due to the fact that Miami is the only Latino-majority city (67 percent) in this investigation, although Los Angeles was nearing majority status (48 percent in 2010 up from 40 percent in 2000) according to the U.S. Census. This ownership dynamic is contrasted with Chicago, where, like Miami, the same media company owns both English and Spanish daily newspapers. But the bulk of the Chicago resources were focused on the mainstream or English-language daily Chicago Tribune, a major U.S. publication. It’s Spanish-language equivalent was much smaller and did not have any original immigration news articles in the dataset of this investigation as its entire sample, easily the smallest of the eight publications studied, was comprised of less than a dozen newswire copy articles. The most competitive region for Spanish- and English-language newspapers was Los Angeles, where vastly different owners operate the local daily newspapers but similar types of coverage appear in both publications. This unique competition dynamic between English and Spanish uses Grimm & Andsager’s (2011) geo-ethnic context to explain similarities in framing. Geo-ethnic context, as applied in this investigation, refers to the sensitivity of newspaper coverage to the presence of a large ethic community. This sensitivity is used to explain framing effects on issues like immigration. To better understand the dynamic in the Los Angeles region, one-on-one interviews were conducted with editors from both daily newspapers. The most important conclusion from this qualitative segment was a significant difference in editorial focus. While the English-language Los Angeles Times sees immigration as a major issue, it is but part of a larger focus on politics and civic engagement pursued by its editors. For the much smaller Spanish-language La Opinion, however, immigration is not so much just one of many issues as it is clearly the principal issue and is stated as such in qualitative interviews for this publication. The difference in editorial focus is stark. However, geo-ethnic context does not fully explain the differences in framing in a city like New York, which has a unique immigrant presence and history. It is believed that this historic focus on immigrant-related issues still affects some coverage of certain dailies operating in New York. But what New York and the other markets truly reveal is that generalizations about audiences, language and news coverage are not wholly reliable when categorizing Spanish-language news in the U.S. as a whole. Framing differences by language vary widely by region with specific differences routinely found throughout this investigation. In fact, a city-by-city by language approach is needed to better understand framing differences in newspaper coverage. Clearly, for example, Latino audiences in Miami are not the same as those in Los Angeles or New York. Nationwide, for the most part, using all-English or all-Spanish results is an inferior method of understanding framing patterns. Local results by city and language, rather than overall results by language, are much more accurate predictors.

Download or read book The Expanding News Desert written by Penelope Muse Abernathy and published by Center for Innovation and Sustainability in Local Media, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report delves into the implications for communities at risk of losing their primary source of credible news. By documenting the shifting news landscape and evaluating the threat of media deserts, this report seeks to raise awareness of the role interested parties can play in addressing the challenges confronting local news and democracy. The Expanding News Desert documents the continuing loss of papers and readers, the consolidation in the industry, and the social, political and economic consequences for thousands of communities throughout the country. It also provides an update on the strategies of the seven large investment firms--hedge and pension funds, as well as private and publicly traded equity groups--that swooped in to purchase hundreds of newspapers in recent years and explores the indelible mark they have left on the newspaper industry during a time of immense disruption.

Book Covering Immigration

Download or read book Covering Immigration written by Leo R. Chavez and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 17, 1994, The Nation ran the headline "The Immigration Wars" on its cover over an illustration showing the western border of the United States with a multitude of people marching toward it. In the foreground, the Statue of Liberty topped by an upside-down American flag is joined by a growling guard dog lunging at a man carrying a pack. The magazine's coverage of emerging anti-immigrant sentiment shows how highly charged the images and texts on popular magazine covers can be. This provocative book gives a cultural history of the immigration issue in the United States since 1965, using popular magazine covers as a fascinating entry into a discussion of our attitudes toward one of the most volatile debates in the nation. Leo Chavez gathers and analyzes over seventy cover images from politically diverse magazines, including Time, Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report, Business Week, The New Republic, The Nation, and American Heritage. He traces the connections between the social, legal, and economic conditions surrounding immigration and the diverse images through which it is portrayed. Covering Immigration suggests that media images not only reflect the national mood but also play a powerful role in shaping national discourse. Drawing on insights from anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies, this original and perceptive book raises new questions about the media's influence over the public's increasing fear of immigration.

Book News flows from Latin America to the British press

Download or read book News flows from Latin America to the British press written by Annalena Oeffner and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2005-12-15 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Zusammenfassung: Der Nachrichtenfluss von Entwicklungs- zu Industrieländern wird seit Jahrzehnten heftig debattiert. Auch den britischen Medien wird eine unausgewogene Auslandsberichterstattung vorgeworfen, die ein verzerrtest Bild der Realität zeigt. Diese Arbeit analysiert die Nachrichten über Lateinamerika in der britischen Presse und richtet dabei besondere Aufmerksamkeit auf die Autoren der Artikel und darauf, wer über Lateinamerika zu Worte kommt. In welchem Maße sich Einheimische in den britischen Zeitungen Gehör verschaffen können wird dabei ebenso behandelt wie die Bedeutung von alternativen Quellen (z.B. andere Nachrichtenagenturen als die Großen Drei ). Die Gründe für redaktionelle Entscheidungen (wie z.B. der Einsatz von festen Korrespondenten anstelle von eingeflogenen Reportern, oder die Wahl der Nachrichtenagenturen) und journalistische Praktiken werden außerdem untersucht. Die folgenden Fragen sollen beantwortet werden: - Welches Bild vermittelt die britische Presse von Lateinamerika? - Auf welchem Wege fließen die Nachrichten von Lateinamerika zur britischen Presse? Wer schreibt sie? - Welche Informationsquellen werden genutzt, welche vernachlässigt? Wird Einheimischen und alternativen Quellen Gehör verschafft? Auf der Grundlage einer Inhaltsanalyse von fünf britischen broadsheet Zeitungen und Interviews mit britischen Korrespondenten in Lateinamerika sowie Lateinamerikanern, die in Großbritannien leben, weist diese Arbeit nach, dass viele der Bedenken, die vor 25 Jahren in den Debatten über globale Nachrichtenflüsse zum Ausdruck gebracht wurden, noch immer Relevanz haben. Obwohl sich viele Journalisten darum bemühen, dies zu ändern, tragen verschiedene Faktoren noch immer dazu bei, dass sie es meist nicht schaffen, die Öffentlichkeit mit ausgewogenen Berichten über Geschehnisse und Prozesse in Lateinamerika zu versorgen, die frei von Stereotypen sind und sich auf eine Vielzahl von Informationsquellen stützen. Hinweis: Diese Arbeit ist in englischer Sprache verfasst! Abstract: For several decades, the news flows from developing to industrialized countries have been a major issue of debate. In Britain, too, foreign reporting is said to be unbalanced, thus creating a distorted picture of reality. This study analyses the way in which news about Latin America is being covered by the British quality press, looking in particular at who writes the news and who is speaking about Latin America. It aims to [...]
