Communicating environmental science beyond academia: Stylistic patterns of newsworthiness in popular science journalism
2017
Science communication in online media is a discursive domain where science-related content is often expressed through styles characteristic of popular journalism. This article aims to characterize some dominant stylistic patterns in magazine articles devoted to environmental issues by identifying the devices used to enhance newsworthiness, given the fact that for some readers environmental topics may no longer seem engaging. The analytic perspective is an adaptation of the newsworthiness framework that has been applied in news discourse studies. The material is a sample of the 38 most-read environment-oriented articles in the online version of the international science magazine New Scientis…
Reforming the national core curriculum for bilingual education in Finland
2016
This article explores the discourses surrounding the act of writing Section 10 Bilingual education in the new Finnish national core curriculum, which will be implemented in 2016. This section will set the parameters for programs that integrate language and content learning, where a minimum of two languages are used for instruction in content subjects.

The data for qualitative analysis consists of participatory observations and minutes of meetings in the working group assembled for writing the draft.
Framing disease, ageing and death in popular science journalism
2016
This paper characterizes the dominant frames in popular science-oriented reports devoted to disease, ageing and death. In popular science journalism, framing often consists in the discursive construction of newsworthiness, i.e., foregrounding features of events/issues considered by science editors to be relevant or attractive for audiences, despite the alienating nature of some types of news. A sample of most-read health-related articles from New Scientist (2013-2015) is subjected to content analysis, keyness analysis, concordance analysis and news value analysis to demonstrate how bioscience tends to be framed through consistent and strategic linguistic choices. The analyses reveal that mo…
Humanism and criticism in T. S. Eliot and Carles Riba
2021
T. S. Eliot i Carles Riba són dos autors amb moltes similituds: tots dos van viure aproximadament durant la mateixa època (la primera meitat del segle XX), tots dos van destacar com a poetes i com a crítics, i tots dos van escriure sobre temes literaris semblants, com, per exemple, l’humanisme, i sobre diversos autors de la literatura europea, com Dante, Goethe i Baudelaire. Però les seves diferents circumstàncies biogràfiques i els diferents contextos literaris, socials i polítics van condicionar la seva concepció de l’humanisme i la seva interpretació d’alguns dels principals escriptors de la cultura occidental. L’objectiu d’aquest article és fer un exercici de literatura comparada per …

"TV- uutiset yhä kruununjalokivi" : MTV:n televisiouutisten muutos vuosina 2007-2015
2016
Media on kokenut 2000-luvun aikana useita muutoksia ja murroskausia. Verkkosisältöjen ja mobiilijournalismin merkityksen kasvu on asettanut perinteiset mediatalot uuteen tilanteeseen. Erilaisten julkaisualustojen väliset rajaaidat ovat kaventuneet. Samaan aikaan toimittajan työhön liittyvät ammatilliset vaatimukset ovat kasvaneet. Tässä tutkielmassa pyritään selvittämään, miten median konvergenssi ja siihen kytkeytyvät ilmiöt ovat muuttaneet yhden uutistoimituksen, MTV:n uutistoimituksen, toimintamalleja. Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan, kuinka MTV:n television pääuutislähetykset ovat muuttuneet vuosina 2007–2015. Lisäksi tutkielmassa pyritään selvittämään, missä määrin median konvergenssi on va…
DERECHOS, ESCEPTICISMO Y MAYORITARISMO: UN TRIÁNGULO IMPOSIBLE. UNA CRÍTICA A LA TEORÍA DE LA LEGITIMIDAD POLÍTICA DE JEREMY WALDRON
2019
El trabajo reconstruye y analiza críticamente la respuesta de Jeremy Waldron a importantes problemas sobre política y derecho, justicia y autoridad. Waldron reivindica al mismo tiempo una tesis no escéptica sobre la existencia los derechos morales-políticos, una tesis escéptica sobre la existencia de procedimientos epistémicos superiores para identificarlos, y una tesis positiva sobre la legitimidad política (mayoritarismo participativo). El trabajo argumenta que su respuesta solo resulta consistente si se añade un cuarto vértice: el presupuesto de “igualdad de agencia y capacidad epistémica” en los portadores de derechos. Pero su introducción requiere abandonar y redefinir dos de los otros…
From sweeteners to cell phones—Cancer myths and beliefs among journalism undergraduates
2019
OBJECTIVE The media are an important source of health information that can help people make their own medical decisions. However, medical news can also transmit biases produced by different factors, such as the previously held beliefs of journalists. This study identifies which cancer myths are more popular among future journalists and whether their beliefs are related to their chosen source of health information. METHODS A survey was conducted among journalism undergraduates (N = 249) to determine which cancer myths existed and how widespread they were. The survey included a list with different sources of health information and eight questions regarding cancer-related myths. RESULTS The mo…
