Human shields were prominent in the 2016 military campaign seeking to recapture Mosul from the hands of ISIS militants. On October 24, 2016, Pope Francis expressed his concern over the use of over two hundred boys and men as human shields in the Iraqi city. In an election rally the following day, Donald Trump decried the enemy's use of “human shields all over the place,” while the New York Times reported that the Islamic State is driving hundreds of civilians into Mosul, using them as human shields. A few days later, the United Nations disseminated a press release, warning that ISIS militants are using “tens of thousands” as human shields, thus casting massive numbers of Iraqi civilians as weapons of war.

This study examines the interplay among President Bush, key members of the administration and military and the news media between Sept. 11 and Oct. 7, 2002, when the U.S. military campaign began in Afghanistan. The research suggests that the administration messages influenced the editorials in The New York Times and The Washington Post.

En una campaña electoral que cuestionó tanto a los candidatos como a los medios, este trabajo analiza la cobertura que la versión digital de The New York Times (NYT) realizó sobre el candidato republicano Donald Trump. El tema es importante puesto que en 2016 no existía aún un análisis sobre la objetividad de este medio durante la campaña electoral; solo había una tesis sobre la parcialidad de NYT. Para medir la objetividad del medio se definen cinco niveles: datos básicos, cantidad de cobertura otorgada a cada candidato, extensión del artículo basada en el número de caracteres, titulares y notas corregidas. Los resultados más relevantes incluyen que el medio en realidad cubrió más a Trump que a Hillary Clinton y que la cobertura fue en su mayoría neutral, pero Donald Trump tuvo más tintes negativos. Adicionalmente, se concluye que la objetividad no debería ser el único parámetro para medir la ética de una noticia o un periodista.

President of the United States Donald Trump engages in ongoing Twitter-attacks on (perceived) political opponents such as named politicians, celebrities, news channels and named journalists. In June 2015 the New York Times began to compile a list of Trump’s insults on Twitter. By January 2020 the list compiles the “598 People, Places and Things Donald Trump has insulted on Twitter”. In this article, we make use of this list as an archive of condensed affective expressions that allow us to analyse the ways in which Trump uses Twitter to mobilise politically in manners which we will term ‘strategic cyberbullying’. Cyberbullying is often discussed as a phenomenon that arises among children and young people, yet we suggest that borrowing an analytic lens from cyberbullying research allows us to better understand the dynamics of Trump’s use of Twitter for political mobilisation. Through a categorical mapping of the New York Times Archive, we show how political opponents are discredited strategically and a new kind of political territory is established through an intentional circulation of particular interfacial refrains through Twitter. These refrains travel between on- and offline contexts to extend the reach of the campaign through establishing a new form of we-ness that includes and excludes communities. We show how this we-ness in Trump’s affective politics is shaped (also) by the Twitter interface and holds the potential to alter the democratic public and the thresholds for democratic participation.

Este artigo objetiva analisar a relação entre o Brasil e a violência retratada pelo website do jornal The New York Times, tendo como contexto os jogos da Rio 2016. Considerando a questão da violência como um estereótipo frequentemente relacionado ao Brasil pelo imaginário estrangeiro. Enquanto metodologia foi adotada a análise de conteúdo com base nos conceitos de Laurence Bardin, que guiaram para a conclusão de que a publicação de Nova Iorque ao invés de trazer novos conceitos que alterassem a genérica visão estrangeira sobre o país reforçou o velho estereótipo de um Brasil violento.Palavras-chave: Brasil. Violência. The New York Times. Rio 2016. Estereótipo

Editing Process

The New York Times “streamlined” its editing process in 2017 and reduced the editing staff by nearly half. Through content analysis on corrections (N = 1,149), this research examines the effects of these cuts. Analysis revealed the Times published more corrections before the changes, but that corrections appeared more quickly after the original error occurred and there were more corrections for content in the A section following the staffing cuts. The A section includes national and international news and thus often contains political content, which is rife for heightened scrutiny in an age of media distrust. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
