News Factors in International Reporting
Although the ‘Dili Massacre’ is considered a watershed event in the annals of East Timor, the analysis of its press coverage is still largely overlooked. This book compares the british and portuguese broadsheet coverage of the shooting of demonstrators by indonesian troops at the Santa Cruz cemetery in Dili, the capital of East Timor. Drawing on earlier research in the field, this study presents an alternative conceptual model of news factors that allows for an appraisal of press performance in foreign reporting. The model assesses the weight of news factors in determining both the newsworthiness and the orientation of the coverage pointing to the interplay of news values and, in particular, the influence of intramedia considerations, in determining the coverage of the November 12 (1991) episode and in justifying the differences between the portuguese and british reporting, and the influence of national perspective marked by ‘cultural bias’ or ‘public patriotism’.
Globalization and Pluralism
Public television in Europe is going through one of the greatest crises in its history. The economic problems are not only determining severe measures among private broadcasters but also prompting a debate about what the functions of public television should be. The purpose of this book is to examine the ownership, production, programs and contents of public and commercial television in various European countries.
Value Creation and the Future of the News Organizations
Why and how are news organizations changing? With the drive for low costs and low prices, how can the news industry create value to ensure its survival in the digital environment?
Most of the contemporary challenges faced by news organizations result from changes in the media environment and media markets that have reduced the value of news and information and disrupted the existing business models of news producers.
Many of these changes are the outcome of technological development.
