Representations of individuals in discourses oflaïcitéfromLe Monde: confirming or challenging the republican framework of identity?
2016
ABSTRACTIn recent decades, the notions of laicite and identity have been subjects of controversy in France. The two concepts have become sufficiently co-associated since the 1990s to ensure each almost systematically entails the other. Findings from previous studies have pointed out harmful implications of this pervasive association for minorities in France, especially Muslims. This study examines further the ways laicite and identity are interwoven by exploring who is represented (and how) in newspaper articles from Le Monde dealing with laicite. Informed by critical intercultural communication scholarship, intersectionality, and a Foucaultian approach to discourse, this study pays particu…
Journalism and fake news in the Covid-19 era. Perspectives for media education in Italy
2020
In this article, drawing from the data collected by the AGCOM during the pandemic crisis, we argue that the emergence of COVID 19 has made more evident the new relationships between the informative cybercascades, the significant need of news during a crisis, the presence of disinformation online, and the relevant consequences on collective narrations, often producing a generalized panic. We also argue that infotainment can be considered a critical turning point in the relationship between true and false in the news because of its fusion of facts, drama, and emotional narrative frames so that it is no longer possible to separate reality from media reconstruction of it. We finally argue that …
A View from the Inside: The Dawning Of De-Westernization of CEE Media and Communication Research?
2015
The Editorial outlines some characteristics of the development of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) media and communication scholarship during the past 25 years. In the majority of CEE countries, the media and communication research was re-established after the collapse of communism. Since then, a critical mass of active scholars has appeared who form an integral part of the larger European academia. A gradual integration of East and West perspectives in media and communication research is taking place along with moving away from the barely West-centred approach, and utilizing the research done by CEE scholars. Certain 'de-westernization' and internationalization of the research in ter…

Quantitative analysis of the plurality in news programs of Nou at the last stage
2016
Durante los cerca de siete meses en los que Rosa Vidal y su nuevo equipo dirigieron RTVV, se produjo un cambio de tendencia en los informativos. Unos espacios de programación —vitales para una televisión pública— que habían perdido totalmente el prestigio y la audiencia después de 24 años de historia, la mayor parte de ellos bajo el poder político del Partido Popular. Esa última época convulsa coincidió en el tiempo con la aplicación de un expediente de regulación de empleo que el Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunitat Valenciana anularía, provocando la decisión de acabar con las emisiones de la televisión autonómica. También por entonces se puso en marcha el Mandato-marco y el Contr…
Valodas elementu lietojuma variācijas Anglijas un Skotijas dienas laikrakstu tekstos
2019
Laikraksti ir pastāvējuši jau gadsimtiem ilgi un vēsturiski tie ir attīstījuši dažādus veidus, kas attiecināmi uz laikrakstu izmēru, mērķauditoriju, aprakstītajiem notikumiem; tomēr visiem laikrakstiem ir noteikti struktūras un satura pamatprincipi, pēc kuriem tie vadās, lai saglabātu rakstīta teksta tipiskās pazīmes visā pasaulē.

The British Press Responds to the Liberation of the Concentration Camps
2011
Following the liberation of Western concentration camps, especially Buchenwald (11 April) and Bergen-Belsen (15 April), newspapers in Europe reported a story of cruelty that seemed to surpass every other atrocity story they had told before. This chapter will examine how the liberation news was published in the mainstream British papers. It is now well known that the liberation of the camps hardly helped the British public to comprehend the true nature of the Nazi genocide.1 However, what concerns us here is to go beyond the argument according to which the dominant liberal discourse in Britain was principally responsible for influencing British understanding of the Holocaust. Instead, this c…

Linking News Value Theory With Online Deliberation: How News Factors and Illustration Factors in News Articles Affect the Deliberative Quality of Use…
2018
Previous research suggests that distinct characteristics of news articles, such as their news factors, account for the different participation rates in comment sections as well as the degree of interactivity among the discussants. In this study, this assumption is tested in the Facebook environment and extended to the analysis of how news factors (i.e., event characteristics) and illustration factors (i.e., characteristics resulting from a specific journalistic editing) of news articles predict the inclusiveness of discussions, as well as the occurrence of civility, rationality, and deliberative interactivity in user comments. A content analysis of 619 news articles and 11,218 related user…
