This study examines how three Native women politicians were portrayed in Native newspapers. The analysis found striking differences in how national Native media cover women politicians compared with prior findings in mainstream newspapers. The data illustrate the influence of Indigenous standpoint theory on the journalistic norms of Native media and its distinct lack of gendered politics, revealing significant prioritization of policy over personal and contrasts in the coverage amount and tone for conservative women politicians.

This study concerns Twitter use in a large local news market. Nonprofit newsrooms and a regional newspaper used replies to engage in reciprocal exchanges with audiences, but broadcasters used retweets, hashtags, and mentions for branding. News media differed in attention to news topics valued by audiences, with resource-constrained local newspapers overemphasizing sports. Attention to weather and crime were predictors of audience sharing of tweets, but sports posts were less likely to be liked or retweeted.

This article examines how 22 Nebraska newspapers and a wire service covered nitrate contamination in Nebraska’s groundwater over nearly 4 years. We found coverage lacked depth and examined a few solutions although 88% of Nebraskans get drinking water from the ground. Reliance on fertilizer and irrigation for crop production leads to groundwater contamination, making this a concerning coverage gap as climate change impacts promise to make farming more challenging and increase environmental risks.

An examination of editorial cartoons about the Coronavirus pandemic during the first 6 months finds that subjects and topics followed developments in the spread of the pandemic and public health and safety responses and mirrored those found in news coverage. More, messages generally reflected largely consensual establishment views of the crisis and official health and safety responses. Cartoonists seemed to adopt the role of cheerleader for government policy and efforts to grapple with the pandemic.

This study incorporates in-depth interviews with 43 journalists from the digitally native, venture-capital-backed sports journalism organization the Athletic. Through the lens of gatekeeping and utilizing the concept of market orientation, findings illustrate how having a somewhat strong market orientation could positively impact gatekeeping processes. Data illustrated that, during the pandemic, journalists at the Athletic collaborated more and included more diversity in content. This positive result, which led to a subscription increase, is primarily due organization-level influences on gatekeeping. This study concludes with analysis on how these findings can affect journalism in general and sports journalism specifically now and after COVID-19.

The German press plays a crucial role in communicating Germany’s economic policy orientation, especially in relevant European discussions. The coverage of the Italian debt crisis in German newspapers/magazine is examined for predefined quality criteria. Findings show deficits in balance, neutrality and analytical quality: German press coverage focusses on few topics, journalists incorporate their value judgments and opinions into news and reports. From the German perspective, there is an obvious bias against the Italian government’s position.

This research content analyzes 2,794 news articles in four leading newspapers to compare variables that predicted the coverage of Kenya governors and senators between 2013 and 2017—within the theoretical perspectives of coverage based on “news values” and “mirror of political reality.” Findings show the strongest predictors for governors’ coverage are commenting on devolution and corruption topics, while senators’ visibility is determined by criticizing national government—all under “mirror of political reality” reporting.

note of and debate within their classrooms. The authors open the floor for a critical discussion that could change the ways of journalism and encourage these discussions and debates in the classroom. One of the important discussions within the book is the relationship between journalism and philosophy. The authors argue that the common interests of both need to be recognized as a way of restoring trust. A connection of philosophy to the foundation of journalism establishes a complex, theoretical understanding of how ethics and ethical thinking interact and can be transformed into actionable pursuits by journalists within their field. Furthermore, it allows journalists and the public to understand the current issues rooted in journalism’s dialect, ontology and epistemology and how they need to change to combat the key issues plaguing journalism. The ongoing disconnect and contention between the overlying components of philosophy and journalism is a disconnect that needs to be bridged to bring journalism, and the ethics of journalism, into the future. Therefore, this book is vital in the classrooms of aspiring and upcoming journalists. It is correct for the authors to state that understanding ideology and the complex dissection of the foundation of journalism is crucial for journalism students. This knowledge demonstrates what must change for a chance at a solution, and these students are the ones who will enact that change. This work is essential not only for journalism students but also for researchers and professionals. It helps tailor journalism as a profession for those who truly value it, separating the self-acclaimed journalist from the professional one in a new way. Patching and Hirst believe journalists have to stop being bystanders to the stories and begin playing an “integral role” in them. There is a call to change that “journalists should become a part of the solution, not willing participants in covering up the problem” (p. 230), and for this to happen, journalists must be the ones to carry out that change by collaborating with their audiences and using their own values within journalism. This allows for an establishment of lasting value in reporting and the news, as well as for journalists to re-evaluate their role as the public’s informants. The discussion and understanding that this book entails will encourage that change and provide journalism students with a proper foundation of how to do so and why they should.
