  • A Comparative Analysis on News Values: Comparing Coverage of Education in South Korea and the United States✝
    Korean Social Science Journal 2011, Vol. 38, No. 1, pp. 99~132 Comparative Review A Comparative Analysis on News Values: Comparing Coverage of Education in South Korea and the United States✝ Jae Chul Shim* (Professor, School of Journalism and Mass Communication, Korea University) Wan Kyu Jung** (Lecturer, Division of Political Science, Public Administration and Journalism, Wonkwang University) Kyun Soo Kim*** (Assistant Professor, Department of Mass Communication, Grambling State University) Abstract This study investigates how Korean major dailies covered educational issues regarding universities, and compares its findings with those of leading American newspapers. The results show that Korean newspapers covered the universities much more negatively than their American counterparts did. Korean newspapers also demonstrated lower journalistic standards as compared with the American newspapers. There were some gaps in terms of news values in covering education at the college level between Korean and American newspapers. Nevertheless, these professional gaps were not too wide to be bridged. In addition, Ettema and Glasser’s three new news values of investigative reporting were not unique from the traditional ones in this study. They were mixed with those of fairness and professional reporting. From these findings, we discuss typical characteristics of Korean newspaper coverage and suggest new ways of covering the education beats in South Korea as a newly advanced and democratized country. Key words: Educational Reform, News Values, Comparative Journalistic Standards, Education Reporting, University News, Diversity, New Long Journalism 100 … Jae Chul Shim, Wan Kyu Jung, and Kyun Soo Kim ✝ This paper was originally written in Korean and published in The Korean Journal of Journalism and Communication Studies in 2003.

The field includes writing, editing, design and photography. With the idea in mind of informing the citizenry, journalists cover individuals, organizations, institutions, governments and businesses as well as cultural aspects of society such as arts and entertainment. News media are the main purveyors of information and opinion about public affairs. WHAT DOES A JOURNALIST DO?

Telling stories to a different beat: Photojournalism as a “Way of Life” Naomi Verity Busst, BPhoto, MJ A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Media and Communication Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Bond University February 2012 Abstract This thesis presents a grounded theory of how photojournalism is a way of life. Some photojournalists dedicate themselves to telling other people's stories, documenting history and finding alternative ways to disseminate their work to audiences. Many self-fund their projects, not just for the love of the tradition, but also because they feel a sense of responsibility to tell stories that are at times outside the mainstream media’s focus. Some do this through necessity. While most photojournalism research has focused on photographers who are employed by media organisations, little, if any, has been undertaken concerning photojournalists who are freelancers.

  • 1 Television News Construction in Converging Environments
    1 Television News Construction in Converging Environments: Emerging Paradigms and Methodologies Dean Cummings Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Sheffield Department of Journalism Copyright Dean Cummings 2012 2 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the difference made to local television news production by the introduction of convergence and changes in production methodology. By considering the change in the technique of production from the traditional method, in which individuals were trained in a specific craft, to the present climate, where individuals are required to carry out a number of tasks, it contributes to the discussion of the impact of advancements in technology and various forms of convergence upon journalism. The research is based on an ethnographic study I completed between 2006-2010 in the United States at two separate local television news stations. During the ethnographic study I conducted interviews with external and internal participants in the news production process. I also observed how the news organizations were utilizing similar production techniques. From the archives of WKYC-TV, one of the news organizations in the ethnographic study, a textual analysis was conducted from a sampling of news stories from the 1970s to the present day. As a framework for analysis, grounded theory method was used to analyse the qualitative date from the case studies and ethnographic findings. This method was chosen to minimize implicit or explicit assumptions made prior to and during the ethnographic study. I was aware of explicit assumptions, based on current research, that technology is changing the final product presented to the audience (Farhi, 2002: 5) (Kolodzy, 2006: 15), (Hemmingway 2005: 8-26), and, in terms of newspapers converging with television news organizations, that they are creating new multi-media products (Dupagne et al., 2006: 247-249), (Patterson et al., 2008: 99-105).

Its supposed ability to to mirror reality by verifying true facts remains the basic assumption underlying press critique, as becomes clear in for example the books of Nick Davies and Joris Luyendijk who both criticize journalism for its inability to represent social reality accurately. This article contends that to go beyond the unbearable limitations of journalism and understand how it works, we should not approach journalism as a descriptive discourse but on the contrary as a performative discourse designed to persuade readers that what it describes is real.

Like Primo and Zago, Lewis and Westlund argue that innovations in computational software require scholars of digital journalism to interrogate not simply who but what is involved in news production and to establish how non-human actants are disrupting established journalism practices (Primo and Zago, 2015: 38).

  • Navigating the New Media Landscape
    IPI ReportProduced in Partnership with Uhe Poynter Institute Brave News Worlds Navigating the New Media Landscape Preface or the past three years, discussions about the future of the news media have centered Fon the decline of the so-called golden age of journalism and the descent into a chaos characterised by splintered audiences, decimated balance sheets, and the muscling-in of amateurs. Fearing that their halcyon days as the guardians of information are num- bered, many editors and journalists have engaged in collective navel-gazing, asking themselves: What went wrong? But is the future really so bleak? Is the decline a global phenomenon? Are we moving into a new ‘golden age’? And what does it mean for press freedom? To find answers to these pressing questions, the International Press Institute teamed up with the Poynter Institute, one of the premier journalism training centers in the world, to set out on a global investigation assembling an international group of editors, jour- nalists, visionaries and sceptics to discover how the future of the news is developing around the world. The result is that after a 10-year absence, the IPI Report series has returned, revamped and reinvigorated with a new edition entitled “Brave News Worlds”, a report that charts the exciting times ahead for the news media and uncovers the many different global perspectives thereof. Picking up where the IPI Report series left off in 2000, “Brave News Worlds” explores what the next 10 years hold for the news and journalism industry and offers insight into how journalists and non-journalists alike can take advantage of changes in the media and technology to make the future of news a bright one.

The study analyzed the news narration of animated news by compared it to the traditional TV news. The results indicated that Apple Daily‟s animated news continued the tabloid‟s lurid reporting style to focus on sensational topics and presented them with fascinating features. To catch the attention of young viewers who grew up in the image era, computer technique now plays a much more important role than ever before. Not only the possible news scenes were reenacted with animation and dubbed dialog between characters were designed, voice-overs, background music and special sound effect were applied along the news story to dramatize the news presentation and to provide viewers veracious pleasure out of watching. The study suggested that the introduction of animated news may not necessarily negative, if their tendency to attract the attention of audiences can be directed toward public affairs-related issues.
