AbstractThe aim of this article is to analyze how the Spanish newspapers covered an international event such as the Egyptian spring from 2011 to 2013. From the perspective of the representation of Arab-Islamic issues, this study carries out a quantitative content analysis on the four reference newspapers in Spain (ABC, El Mundo, El País, and La Vanguardia) to find out whether there was an Islamophobic or Islamophilic treatment during the Egyptian revolution. The results of the 3,045 articles analyzed show that Spanish newspapers were remarkably interested in Egyptian events and that cultural discourses were not relevant in the coverage. However, it is necessary to specify these outcomes by newspaper, because each paper proposed its own take on the matter based on information provided by press agencies.

Los Grupos

The two main heritage news brands in Spain are the television networks Antena 3 and La sexta, belonging to Atresmedia, through which the group implements a double editorial line. The main objective of this work is to measure the presence of the watchdog, infotainment, and civic journalistic roles in the news programs of these two channels, in line with the strategies of differentiated audience acquisition for the two brands. A quantitative content analysis of news published in the midday editions of the programs La sexta noticias (N = 149) and Antena 3 noticias (N = 209) during the week of 3-9 February 2020 has been carried out. To measure the presence of the three roles in the news content, 42 indicators have been operationalized, following the proposal of Mellado (2015). La sexta showed a greater presence of the watchdog and civic roles than Antena 3. For both channels, there is a tendency to put in practice the vigilance, oriented by a certain political parallelism based on the ideological profile of their respective audience. La sexta has specialized in exercising the function of questioning power and in attending to citizen demands and social groups outside power. Antena 3 applies a flatter strategy, which stands out neither for its singular questioning of power nor for being a specific voice of social groups, which provides it with a more balanced position, although not uniform, in terms of penetration by ideological groups, in its necessary search for a massive audience because of commercial pressure. It has been concluded that each news brand of the Atresmedia group practices a differentiated journalism model. Resumen Las dos principales marcas tradicionales de noticias en España son las cadenas de televisión Antena 3 y La sexta, pertenecientes a Atresmedia, con las que el grupo mantiene una doble oferta informativa. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo principal medir la presencia de los roles periodísticos vigilante, info-entretenimiento y cívico en los informativos de estas dos cadenas, en consonancia con las estrategias de captación de audiencia diferenciadas para las dos marcas. Se ha realizado un análisis de contenido cuantitativo de noticias publicadas en las ediciones de mediodía de los programas La sexta noticias (N = 149) y Antena 3 noticias (N = 209) durante la semana del 3 al 9 de febrero de 2020. Para medir la presencia de los tres roles en el contenido noticioso de los dos programas informativos se han operacionalizado 42 indicadores, siguiendo la propuesta de Mellado (2015). Los informativos de La sexta han mostrado una mayor presencia del rol vigilante y del rol cívico que los de Antena 3. En ambos canales se comprueba una tendencia a ejercer la vigilancia orientada por un cierto paralelismo político en función del perfil ideológico de sus respectivas audiencias. La sexta se ha especializado en ejercer la función del cuestionamiento del poder y en la atención a las demandas ciudadanas y los grupos sociales fuera del poder. Antena 3 representa una estrategia más plana, que no destaca ni por su singular cuestionamiento al poder ni por ser voz específica de grupos sociales, lo que le permite una posición más nivelada, aunque no uniforme, en la penetración por grupos ideológicos, en su necesaria búsqueda de una audiencia masiva fruto de la presión comercial. Se ha podido concluir que cada marca informativa del grupo Atresmedia practica un modelo de periodismo diferenciado.

News Agencies

The aim of this study is to measure the reliance of the Pakistani English press on international news agencies. Quantitative content analysis was done to see the level of reliance. A ten-year period has been selected for analysis starting from 9/11. International pages of three English newspapers were selected. The results indicated that there is very small contribution of the newspapers in the case of international news content, they mostly rely on foreign content and publish the same. Pakistani newspapers hardly try to appoint their correspondents and resultantly they have to copy the same content available by international news agencies e.g., AP, AFP & Reuter. The study considered the theory of media imperialism and the results endorse the age-old central verses peripheral relationship with developed countries and the developing nations which still persist

Participatory Practices

Abstract Social plugins for sharing news through Facebook and Twitter have become increasingly salient features on news sites. Together with the user comment feature, social plugins are the most common way for users to contribute. The wide use of multiple features has opened new areas to comprehensively study users’ participatory practices. However, how do these opportunities to participate vary between the participatory spaces that news sites affiliated with local, national broadsheet and tabloid news constitute? How are these opportunities appropriated by users in terms of participatory practices such as commenting and sharing news through Facebook and Twitter? In addition, what differences are there between news sites in these respects? To answer these questions, a quantitative content analysis has been conducted on 3,444 articles from nine Swedish online newspapers. Local newspapers are more likely to allow users to comment on articles than are national newspapers. Tweeting news is appropriated only on news sites affiliated with evening tabloids and national morning newspapers. Sharing news through Facebook is 20 times more common than tweeting news or commenting. The majority of news items do not attract any user interaction.
