This study analyzed 242 photos from the online coverage of the 2011 Japan tsunami by the BBC, NPR, and Xinhua to examine how the location of the news outlet and location of the disaster impacted visual framing. The results showed geographic proximity influenced portrayal, with China featuring more civilian photos and images of Japanese subjects since it was closer. While most photos contained people, landscapes were also common. The role, nationality, presence, and number of individuals depicted varied based on whether coverage focused on Japan or other locations.

Indexing theory of political mass communication - Prepared by Fiza Zia Ul HannanDr. Fiza Zia Ul Hannan
Inspired by the work of Hallin, W. Lance Bennett introduced the “Indexing” theory in his article “Toward a Theory of Press-State Relations in the United States” (1990). The theory also known as indexing hypothesis and indexing model was proposed on the basis of a study that was conducted on the New York Times’ coverage of the United States’ involvement with Nicaraguan contras. Bennett’s preliminary indexing hypothesis states: “mass-media news professionals tend to ”index” the range of voices and viewpoints in both news and editorials according to the range of views expressed in the mainstream government debate about foreign affairs topics” - (Bennett 1990).
Employing a public opinion survey and a content analysis of local media, this study sets out to examine of the agenda-setting effect in China. China is highlighted in this study because it is a collectivist, socialist nation whose mainstream media is largely controlled by the state. Data from this study reveal that (a) Chinese people make clear distinctions between issues of personal importance (their personal agenda) and issues of national importance (their social agenda) and (b) the agenda-setting function of Chinese media was only observed when considering one’s social agenda; the personal agenda was not related with the Chinese media agenda. These findings hold true when comparing across different demographic groups on variables such as age, education, news source, and one’s ability to critically analyze news. This article contributes to agenda-setting scholarship by providing empirical evidence of agenda-setting effects in a political and media structure substantially different from the Western structures usually examined in such research.
This bibliography is prepared for senior officers studying the link between civil military relations (CMR) and complex humanitarian emergencies (CHE). Although it includes
some references that are more scholarly than practical, it provides a good starting point for any officer undertaking study of these issues at the graduate level. Many of the

Frame It In The News: Teaching Information Literacy Without a Research PaperWillie Miller
Presented at LOEX 2013 in Nashville, TN.
Librarians struggle to teach information literacy skills to first-year students in courses without a research component. Without a need to know how to consume information, students can disengage from learning. Using news as the frame for IL instruction is a solution.
News media outlets have significant power in society. As Masterman (1985) wrote in Teaching the Media, “the media tells us what is important and what is trivial by what they take note of and what they ignore, by what is amplified and what is muted or omitted.” As news media are pervasive institutions concretely entwined with everyday life and require critical analysis for responsible engagement, the news makes for a prodigious frame in which to teach information literacy.

The development of the Internet and digital technology by the end of the
twentieth century has raised serious disputes about ethics, authenticity and photo
manipulation. These concerns are especially relevant in the field of photojournalism
in the news media, where credibility matters the most. In this paper we described
the current situation in relation to image authenticity and professional ethics in three
countries of Central Europe – the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. We asked research questions regarding photo production, circumstances of photographing, image
content, technical improvements, manipulation, ethical standards and responsibility.
Our findings reveal a complexity of ethical issues related to working with visual news
material. During the fieldwork we conducted 65 in-depth interviews and surveys with
full-time and freelance photojournalists and photo editors working for printed and
online newspapers and opinion magazines in Central Europe.

Deconstructing Subtle Racist Imagery in Television Ads

Abstract Although ads with subtle racist imagery can
reinforce negative stereotypes, advertisers can eliminate
this problem. After a brief overview of predominantly
U.S.-based research on the racial mix of models/actors in
ads, a theoretical framework for unmasking subtle racial
bias is provided and dimensional qualitative research
(DQR) is introduced as a method for identifying and rec-
tifying such ad imagery. Results of a DQR-based study of
622 U.K. television ads with at least one Black actor
indicate (1) subtle racially biased imagery now supersedes
overt forms, and (2) the most popular ad appeals often
mask negative stereotypes. Implications for public policy
and advertisers, as well as recommendations for future
research, are discussed.
Keywords Advertising � Negative stereotypes �
Negative imagery � Subtle versus overt racial bias �
Dimensional qualitative research
In their philosophical treatise, Cohen-Eliya and Hammer
(2004) argued that stereotypical images in ads, by rein-
forcing negative racial stereotypes, deter people from
breaking a bad habit: holding racially biased beliefs.
Cohen-Eliya and Hammer note that the typical uncritical
viewing of ads allows such stereotypes to be ‘‘transmitted
in a way that prevents people from internalizing their belief
in equality….[by failing to] neutralize the influence of
their….deep-rooted acquaintance with stereotype norms’’
(p. 170). Consumers also are sensitive to this problem.
A government-sponsored survey in the U.K.—the Inde-
pendent Television Commission’s Boxed In study on neg-
ative stereotypes in ads (Sancho and Wilson 2001)—
revealed many respondents were concerned that ‘‘Adver-
tisements were…guilty of creating or reinforcing stereo-
types at a subtle or even subliminal level’’ (2001, p. 34).
The term subliminal racism—coined by Arthur Graham
in 1972 (Image Analyst, 2009)—denotes ‘‘subtle racial
bias’’, which is racism that operates below the thresh.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

1. Through the Lens
Visual Framing of the Japan Tsunami in U.S., British, and
Chinese Online Media
Rosellen Downey, Erika Johnson, and Bailey Brewer
University of Missouri
2. Literature
Framing—lack of visual framing research
Textual elements studied more often (Matthes, 2009)
Visual framing and natural disasters
Most on visual framing in war and terrorism
Few on natural disasters (Fahmy et al., 2007)
Human interest and political power
Human interest frames are an emerging area of research
(Peng, 2004; Schwalbe, 2008; Wojdynski, 2009)
Often, political figures studied more than common man (Grabe
& Bucy, 2008)
3. Hypotheses and RQs
RQ1: Does geographic location of the news outlet relate to the
portrayal of natural disasters?
RQ2: Does geographic location of the disaster relate to the portrayal
of the disaster?
RQa: Do roles of human beings in photos differ between NPR, BBC, and
Xinhua online coverage and between Japan and other countries?
RQb: Does the nationality of human beings shown in photos differ between
NPR, BBC, and Xinhua online coverage and between Japan and other
countries?
RQc: Does absence or presence of human beings in photos of flooding
differ between NPR, BBC, and Xinhua online coverage and between
Japan and other countries?
RQd: Does the number of people shown in photos differ between NPR,
BBC, and Xinhua online coverage and between Japan and other
countries?
H1: Geographic proximity will be related to disaster portrayal.
4. Variables
IVs:
IV1: Nation providing coverage
IV2: Nation being covered
DVs:
DV1: Role of people/person in the photo
DV2: Nationality of people/person in photo
DV3: Presence or absence of people in photos
DV4: Number of people in the photo.
5. Sample
N = 242 photos
From NPR (n = 58), BBC (n = 52), and Xinhua (n =
132) websites
March 11-13, 2011 census sample
Search term: “Japan tsunami”
Images only coded once, no repeats
Videos, infographics, and maps not coded
6. Results
Sample – Most frequent in China
China 54.5%
U.S. 24%,
Britain 21.5%
Japan most frequently covered
Most subjects were Japanese
People present in 66% of photos
7. Significant Results
Nation of coverage and role
Nation covered and role
Nation of coverage and nationality
Nation covered and nationality
Nation covered and presence of people
Nation covered and number of people
8. Role
44.4% of civil servants were from other countries
56.6% from Japan
Britain
Few government authorities appearing alone
China
Predominantly civilian coverage
11. Number of People
Few photos featuring single individual
Mostly appeared in small and large groups
12. Discussion
China had most visual coverage
Geographic proximity
Thus, China dominated coverage of civilians, photos of
Japanese subjects, landscape photos
Xinhua’s practice of capturing frames from video news
Focus on coverage of humans, not landscape
But, 1/3 of photos were of landscapes overall
