Donald J. Trump has been in the White House as Commander-in-Chief for just about a month. Trump holds a press conference to announce that he had nominated Alexander Acosta, a Hispanic man, as the U.S. Secretary of Labor. He uses the moment to update Americans about the “mess at home and abroad” that he inherited. He also took questions from journalists at his first press conference as president. Trump takes a question from April Ryan, a veteran White House cor- respondent for American Urban Radio Networks. She has been in that role since 1997, is in the process of covering her fourth U.S. president, and serves as the radio network’s Washington, D.C. bureau chief. Standing about midpoint, to the left of the room for the viewers, she signals to Trump that she wants to ask a question. Trump does what he does best when dealing with people of color: He finds a way to offend Ryan. “Yes, oh, this is going to be a bad question, but that’s OK,” he said. It is unclear what Trump meant by the statement, but whatever he meant, it wasn’t positive.

  • Sean Spicer Is the News the Relationship Between Sean Spicer and the White House Press Corps by Danielle Selman Julian a Th
    SEAN SPICER IS THE NEWS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEAN SPICER AND THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS BY DANIELLE SELMAN JULIAN A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF COMMUNICATION STUDIES (MCS) JULY 3, 2018 SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION STUDIES Abstract This research concerns the relationship between former White House press secretary Sean Spicer and the White House press corps, analysed through the reportage of the daily White House press briefing. This relationship can be seen as a continuation of Trump’s relationship with the news media during his candidacy. This thesis quantitatively measures the reportage by the White House press corps using content analysis (Krippendorff, 2002), and qualitative analysis of the reportage using journalism discourse analysis (Wodak & Meyers, 2001; Fairclough, 2010). These analyses are achieved by analysing three cases that became headlines due to the moment of contention between Spicer and the press corps. These case studies are: 1) The initial press briefing, when Spicer lectured the press corps for falsely reporting the size of Trump’s inauguration’s crowd. 2) Press Briefing #30, when Spicer forcefully instructed reporter April D. Ryan to ‘stop shaking her head.' 3) Press Briefing #36, when Spicer controversially compared Syrian President Bashar al- Assad to Nazi Party Leader Adolf Hitler and incorrectly claimed that Hitler did not use chemical weapons. Online news articles about these case studies from 30 media outlets that have journalists in the White House press corps have been selected. The thesis then compares and contrasts the case studies’ press briefing transcripts to the online news articles.

  • Framing the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.: a Comparative Analysis of Mainstream and Alternative Newspaper Coverage, 2007-2008
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FRAMING THE REV. JEREMIAH A. WRIGHT JR.: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MAINSTREAM AND ALTERNATIVE NEWSPAPER COVERAGE, 2007-2008 Robbie R. Morganfield, Ph.D., 2015 Directed By: Professor Emerita Maurine Beasley, Philip Merrill College of Journalism This case study examined through qualitative textual analysis how a group of mainstream and alternative publications framed their coverage of the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. during the historic 2008 U.S. presidential primary campaign when Wright was the pastor of Barack Obama, who emerged from the campaign to become the nation’s first black president. Prior to the campaign’s conclusion, Obama parted ways with Wright as a result of heightened news coverage of statements Wright had made about the nation’s politics and treatment of black people. The study analyzes 216 news stories, commentaries and editorials produced by The New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times and The Washington Post, which are mainstream daily newspapers, as well as the Chicago Defender, Washington Afro American and The Christian Century, which are alternative news publications. The analysis of their coverage of Wright was further explored by the use of two framing theories to determine what values might have influenced the ways journalists made sense out of Wright’s religious speech and practices. Mark Silk’s “Unsecular Media” theory posits that journalists typically rely on a set of religious values to frame their reports of religious issues and figures. Herbert Gans’ “Enduring Values” theory posits that journalists typically rely on mainstream secular values to frame their reports of news subjects. The study’s findings showed that on the whole the mainstream publications included in the sample produced coverage that strongly correlated with Gans’ secular theory, which holds that subjects often become news worthy because they deviate from mainstream values associated with moderatism and ethnocentrism.
