Download or read book Media coverage of the refugee crisis A cross European perspective written by Myria Georgiou and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2017-05-19 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Media have played an important role in framing the public debate on the “refugee crisis” that peaked in autumn of 2015. This report examines the narratives developed by print media in eight European countries and how they contributed to the public perception of the “crisis”, shifting from careful tolerance over the summer, to an outpouring of solidarity and humanitarianism in September 2015, and to a securitisation of the debate and a narrative of fear in November 2015. Overall, there has been limited opportunity in mainstream media coverage for refugees and migrants to give their views on events, and little attention paid to the individuals’ plight or the global and historical context of their displacement. Refugees and migrants are often portrayed as an undistinguishable group of anonymous and unskilled outsiders who are either vulnerable or dangerous. The dissemination of biased or ill-founded information contributes to perpetuating stereotypes and creating an unfavourable environment not only for the reception of refugees but also for the longer-term perspectives of societal integration.

Download or read book Euroscepticism Democracy and the Media written by Manuela Caiani and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-22 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the relationship between the media and European democracy, as important factors of EU legitimacy. The contributors show how the media play a crucial role in making European governance accountable, and how it can act as an intermediate link between citizens and their elected and unelected representatives. The book focuses on widespread levels of Euroscepticism and the contemporary European crisis. The authors present empirical studies which problematize the role of traditional media coverage on EU attitudes. Comparisons are also drawn between traditional and new media in their influence on Euroscepticism. Furthermore, the authors analyse the impact of the internet and social media as new arenas in which Eurosceptic claims and positions can be made visible, as well as being a medium used by political parties and populist movements which contest Europe and its politics and policies. Euroscepticism, Democracy and the Media will be of interest to students and scholars with an interest in European politics, political parties, interest groups, social movements and political sociology.

Download or read book The Euro Crisis in the Media written by Robert G. Picard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Euro Crisis produced the most significant challenge to European integration in 60 years--testing the structures and powers of the European Union and the Eurozone and threatening the common currency. This book explores how the financial and political crisis was portrayed in the European press and the implications of that coverage on public understanding of the developments, their causes, responsibilities for addressing the crisis, the roles and effectiveness of European institutions, and the implications for European integration and identity. It addresses factors that shaped news and analysis, the roles of European leaders, and the extent to which national and pan-European debates over the crisis occurred. In doing so, it provides a clear and readable explanation of what the portrayals tell us about Europe and European integration in the early twenty-first century.

Download or read book Media Coverage of Elections written by Ernesto Apa and published by . This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In times of elections and referenda, the media zoom in on the candidates, analysing their every word, move and minute gesture. In today's 24/7 digital universe, the mass media have an unprecedented power to pick apart, comment and scrutinise our future leaders as never before. But who is making sure that coverage is equitable, professional, and complying with some minimum standards of "decent" journalism? Who makes these rules? Following France's elections and just two months before Germany goes to the polls the European Audiovisual Observatory, part of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, has just released a new in-depth report: "Media coverage of elections: the legal framework in Europe". Produced in collaboration with Amsterdam's Institute of Information Law (IViR), this new report offers a roadmap to overarching European media law in times of coverage of elections, before zooming in on individual countries as case-studies. A final chapter teases out the trends from these individual examples in order to offer some pertinent conclusions.

Download or read book Communicating Populism written by Carsten Reinemann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The studies in this volume conceptualize populism as a type of political communication and investigate it comparatively, focusing on (a) politicians’ and journalists’ perceptions, (b) media coverage, and (c) effects on citizens. This book presents findings from several large-scale internationally comparative empirical studies, funded by the European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research (COST), focusing on communication and the media within the context of populism and populist political communication in Europe. The studies are based on comparative interview studies with journalists and politicians, a large-scale comparative content analysis, and a comparative cross-country experiment using nationally representative online-surveys over 15 countries. The book also includes advice for stakeholders like politicians, the media, and citizens about how to deal with the challenge of populist political communication. This enlightening volume is ‘populist’ in the best sense and will be an essential text for any scholar in political science, communication science, media studies, sociology and philosophy with an interest in populism and political communication. It does not assume specialist knowledge and will remain accessible and engaging to students, practitioners and policymakers. Chapters 1 and 12 of this book are freely available as downloadable Open Access PDFs at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Download or read book European Media written by Stylianos Papathanassopoulos and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European Media provides a clear, concise account of the structures, dynamics and realities of the changing face of media in Europe. It offers a timely and illuminating appraisal of the issues surrounding the development of new media in Europe and explores debates about the role of the media in the formation of a European public sphere and a European identity. The book argues that Europe offers an ideal context for examining interactions between global, regional and national media processes and its individual chapters consider: the changing structure of the European media; the development of new media; the Europeanization of the media in the region; the challenges for the content; and audiences. Special emphasis is given to the transformation of political communication in Europe and the alleged emergence of a European public sphere and identity. European Media: Structures, Politics and Identity is an invaluable text for courses on media and international studies as well as courses dealing with European and national policy studies. It is also helpful to students, researchers and professionals in the media sector since it combines hard facts with theoretical insight.

Download or read book Media Coverage of European Affairs written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overarching objective of this study - as laid down in the Terms of Reference (ToR) - is to "explore the conditions affecting -favouring or impeding- the coverage of EU topics across the different media segments". This is a pivotal step to inform future decisions in the area of Multimedia Actions, and contributing to a better mapping of the news media situation in the Union and helping understanding the evolution and functioning of the sector. According to the ToR, "an appropriate coverage of EU affairs with a European perspective would mean that a media company is seen by its viewers as a unique source of up-to-date news about the EU and the Member States, that is objective and informative, providing the right balance for the viewers between local, European and international news, contributing to debate about European issues and to a sense of European identity". In line with the definition provided by the European Commission, this study refers to "European Affairs" in the broadest possible meaning. EU Affairs are thus intended as all relevant news with an "European perspective" - transcending the narrow understanding on daily news reports about the activities of the main EU institutions. Indeed, the scope of the study includes the assessment of topics such as: - Economic, political and cultural affairs of all Member States, compared and contrasted in the way in which they deal with the same issues; - Decisions taken at national and regional level which have the potential to shape views on the EU or affect the daily lives of significant numbers of EU citizens in other Member States; - Economic, political and cultural affairs of one EU Member State, illustrating to citizens of other EU countries how issues of common concern are addressed. To be qualified as "EU Affairs", these topics should be reported with an "European perspective" - which - as clarified by the European Commission - should have at least one of the following features: - Reporting on EU Affairs in the broadest sense of the word, i.e. going beyond daily news reports about the activities of the European Union institutions; - Reporting national news from a cross-border perspective and issues that themselves have a direct influence on European Union policy; - Reporting on international affairs relevant directly or indirectly to EU citizens, taking the European perspective into account, e.g. predominantly using commentators based in the EU or in a position that qualifies them to comment from a European point of view. The scope of this study entails several features, topics and drivers affecting the coverage of European Affairs -. The report includes the following sections: - Overview of the weight and key trends of the news media sector in Europe - The broad drivers and factors affecting journalism in Europe and their implications on the coverage on EU Affairs - The specific conditions (positively/neutral/negatively) influencing the coverage of EU affairs in the different EU members - Identification of potential gaps and opportunities for coverage of EU affairs in the news media sector that could merit further EU intervention in this area.

Download or read book The European Illustrated Press and the Emergence of a Transnational Visual Culture of the News 1842 1870 written by Thomas Smits and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the roots of a global visual news culture: the trade in illustrations of the news between European illustrated newspapers in the mid-nineteenth century. In the age of nationalism, we might suspect these publications to be filled with nationally produced content, supporting a national imagined community. However, the large-scale transnational trade in illustrations, which this book uncovers, points out that nineteenth-century news consumers already looked at the same world. By exchanging images, European illustrated newspapers provided them with a shared, transnational, experience.

Download or read book The Political Economy and Media Coverage of the European Economic Crisis written by Julien Mercille and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European economic crisis has been ongoing since 2008 and while austerity has spread over the continent, it has failed to revive economies. The media have played an important ideological role in presenting the policies of economic and political elites in a favourable light, even if the latter’s aim has been to shift the burden of adjustment onto citizens. This book explains how and why, using a critical political economic perspective and focusing on the case of Ireland. Throughout, Ireland is compared with contemporary and historical examples to contextualise the arguments made. The book covers the housing bubble that led to the crash, the rescue of financial institutions by the state, the role of the European institutions and the International Monetary Fund, austerity, and the possibility of leaving the eurozone for Europe’s peripheral countries. Through a systematic analysis of Ireland’s main newspapers, it is argued that the media reflect elite views and interests and downplay alternative policies that could lead to more progressive responses to the crisis.

Download or read book European Media in Crisis written by Josef Trappel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the financial markets collapsed in 2008, the media industry was affected by a major slump in advertising revenues, and a formerly highly successful business model fell into a state of decay. This economic crisis has threatened core social values of contemporary democracies, such as freedom, diversity and equality. Taking a normative and policy perspective, this book discusses threats and opportunities for the media industry in Europe: What are the implications of the crisis for professional journalism, the media industry, and the process of political communication? Can non- state and non-market actors profit from the crisis? And what are media policy answers at the national and European level?
