Media manipulation is rampant in the present postmodern culture since people are constantly monitored by screens due to the advancement of technology. In the postmodern world, the media have become an inseparable part of everyday life, where there is hardly any scope to spend a single moment without the screen and media. Thus, the current researcher got the impetus to unravel the media's simulated world, which uses images, advertisements, and signs to expand global capitalism. The objective of the study is to explore inquisitively the power and influence of the media and the way these are used to manipulate people. This is a qualitative study that delves into media politics and media economy in an investigative way to uncover the covert targets of the media. The study's major finding is that the media play a vital role in attracting consumers and expanding world commercialism in today’s globalized world. Several modern and postmodern writings were extensively studied to scrutinize the manifold facets of media manipulation through different presentations of print and visual formats.

<p>Nowadays the relationship between media and politics has reached a new dimension especially with the developments in the dynamics of the societies.  Usage of entertainment elements by politicians in order to take place in the media and usage of entertaining political contents in the media have increased the importance of the entertainment in political communication. This has led to the discussions on the concept of “<em>politainment</em>”, a portmanteau word composed of politics and entertainment which is seen a new form of political communication. The German political scientist Andreas Dörner coined this concept to the social sciences that can be translated in Turkish entertaining politics. The main aim and objectives of this study are examining the concept of <em>politainment</em>, addressing the change in the relationship between media and politics as well as in the understanding of news reporting in the case of United States’ (US) one of the most popular TV program “The Daily Show”. According to the findings of the study, usage of the elements of entertainment by politicians, make them more visible in the media, creates more awareness for the messages they want to convey, and make their messages more memorable and appealing. Also the media uses various political elements to differentiate its content and make it more appealing to their audience. This has led to a symbiotic relationship between media, politics and entertainment, which is based on a mutually beneficial understanding. The Daily Show is one of the most concrete and important examples of <em>politainment</em> concept. The program approaches to the national and international problems critically but in an entertaining way and makes these problems more popular and therefore more debatable. Besides this, politicians are aware of the effects and popularity of this program and therefore they often participate in the program and convey their ideas and political aims to the audiences, in this way they try to gain the sympathy and support.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Özet</strong></p><p>Günümüzde medya ve siyaset arasındaki ilişki toplum dinamiklerinde meydana gelen yeni gelişmelerle beraber farklı bir boyuta ulaşmıştır. Giderek artan bir şekilde politikacıların eğlence unsurlarını kullanarak medyada yer alması ve medyanın da izleyicisine politik içerikleri eğlenceli bir şekilde sunması, siyasal iletişimde eğlencenin önemini arttırmıştır. Bu durum siyasal iletişimde yeni bir unsur olarak görülen, politika (politics) ve eğlence (entertainment) kelimelerinin birleşmesiyle oluşturulmuş, <em>politainment</em> kavramının tartışılmasına neden olmuştur. Türkçe’ye eğlenceli siyaset olarak çevrilebilecek olan <em>politainment</em> kavramı, Alman siyaset bilimci Andreas Dörner tarafından sosyal bilimlere kazandırılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı Dörner’ın ortaya attığı <em>politainment </em>kavramını irdelemek, medya - siyaset ilişkisindeki ve habercilik anlayışındaki bu değişimi Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin (ABD) popüler TV programlarından biri olan ‘The Daily Show’ isimli program örneğinde ele almaktır. Çalışmada elde edilen verilere göre siyasetçiler tarafından eğlencenin bir araç olarak kullanılması, politikacıları medyada daha görünür hale getirmekte, iletmek istedikleri mesajlar hakkında farkındalık yaratmakta, bu mesajları daha akılda kalıcı ve çekici kılabilmektedir. Medya ise, izleyicisine sunduğu içeriklerin diğerlerinden farklılaşmasını ve daha cazip hale gelmesini sağlamak için politik içerikleri kullanmaktadır. Bu durum medya, siyaset ve eğlence arasında karşılıklı fayda anlayışına dayalı ‘simbiyotik’ bir ilişkiyi doğurmuştur. <em>Politainment</em>ın medyadaki en önemli örneklerinden birini The Daily Show programı oluşturmaktadır. Program, ulusal ve uluslararası sorunlara eleştirel ancak eğlenceli bir şekilde yaklaşmakta, bu sorunların popülerleşerek daha fazla tartışılabilmesine imkân vermektedir. Siyasetçiler de The Daily Show’un popülerliğinden haberdar bir şekilde bu programa sıklıkla katılmakta, düşüncelerini ve siyasal hedeflerini izler kitleye aktarmakta, bu yolla sempati ve destek kazanmaktadır.</p>

The expression of emotion works as an argumentative tool in the case of Spanish emigration and its depiction in the media. I have made a comparative analysis of two different political contexts to observe different social parameters at work: the current democratic system and the post-Spanish Civil War dictatorial regime. In both cases, they are exploited by third parties to validate a particular political stance. The analysis made in this work draws on Edwards’ ‘emotion in use’ and the lexical framework within Martin and White’s ‘appraisal model’. The way emigration is emotionally verbalized determines issues such as responsibility. Negative emotion remarks require some agent to be blamed, normally the government for its economic policies, whereas the positive ones have a reinforcement effect and work as a bonding mechanism to the system. Judgment and Affect are found to be interrelated. More specifically, and following Martin and White’s terminology, Affect may work as a graduation instrument in the expression of Judgment.

During a global pandemic, the great impact of populist discourse on the construction of social reality is undeniable. This study analyzes the fantasmatic dimension of political discourse from Donald Trump’s and Jair Bolsonaro’s Twitter accounts between 1 March and 31 May. To do so, it applies a Clause-Based Semantic Text Analysis (CBSTA) methodology that categorizes speech in Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) triplets. The study findings show that in spite of the Coronavirus pandemic, the main beatific and horrific subjects remain the core populist signifiers: the people and the elite. While Bolsonaro’s narrative was predominantly beatific, centered on the government, Trump’s was mostly horrific, centered on the elite. Trump signified the pandemic as a subject and an enemy to be defeated, whereas Bolsonaro portrayed it as a circumstance. Finally, both leaders defined the people as working people, therefore their concerns about the pandemic were focused on the people’s ability to work.

This article selects the listed companies in China’s A-share heavy pollution industry from 2014 to 2018 as samples, uses a random effect model to empirically test the relationship between media attention and corporate environmental performance and examines the impacts of local government environmental protection and property nature on that relationship. Results are as follow: (1) Media attention can significantly affect a company’s environmental performance. The higher the media attention, the greater the company’s supervision and the better its environmental performance. (2) In areas where the government pays less attention to environmental protection, the impact of media on corporate environmental performance is more obvious, but in other areas, the impact of media on environmental performance cannot be reflected; (3) The media attention is very significant for the environmental performance improvement of state-owned enterprises, and it is not obvious in non-state-owned enterprises. (4) A further breakdown of the study found that the role of media attention in corporate environmental performance is only significant in the sample of local governments that have low environmental protection and are state-owned enterprises. This research incorporates the local government’s emphasis on environmental protection into the research field of vision, expands the research scope of media and corporate environmental performance, and also provides new clues and evidence for promoting the active fulfillment of environmental protection responsibilities by companies and local governments.

Two decades of contestation over the nature and extent of transformation in the South African news media have left a sector different in substantive ways from the apartheid inheritance but still patchy in its capacity to fill the democratic ideal. Change came fast to a newly open broadcasting sector, but has faltered in recent years, particularly in a public broadcaster troubled by political interference and poor management. The potential of online media to provide much greater media access has been hindered by the cost of bandwidth. Community media has grown but struggled to survive financially. Print media has been aggressive in investigative exposé, but financial cutbacks have damaged routine daily coverage. In the face of this, the government has turned its attention to the print sector, demanding greater—but vaguely defined—transformation and threatened legislation. This has met strong resistance.

This article discusses the case of Shekinah Egan, an Irish Muslim girl who asked to be allowed to wear the hijab to school. It traces the media and government response to her demand, and frames that demand as a citizenship claim. It focuses in particular on a peculiarity of the Irish response; that the government was disinclined to legislate for the headscarf in the classroom. It argues that – perhaps counter-intuitively – the refusal to make law around the hijab operated to silence the citizenship claims at the heart of the Egan case. To this extent, it was a very particular instance of a broader and ongoing pattern of exclusion of the children of migrants from the Irish public sphere.
