Research examines how journalists cover and frame the issue of climate change in mainly nationally circulated newspapers. This study compares and contrasts the framing of climate change between two nationally circulated newspapers, the New York Times and the Washington Post, and three intermountain west, mountain town, community newspapers, Jackson Hole News & Guide in Jackson Hole, WY, Summit Daily in Summit County, CO, and Park Record in Park City, UT. This research compares national versus community coverage, coverage over time for the years 2011 and 2016, and coverage between the three communities, using five commonly used frames, responsibility, human interest, conflict, morality and economic consequences. Results indicate there are statistically significant differences when comparing national to community newspaper coverage as well as between the three community papers, indicating the importance of local context in media coverage of climate change and in frame analysis more generally. Climate change is a partisan issue, but community newspapers may be less partisan, so analyzing newspaper coverage at various scales adds to our understanding of how different contexts shape media coverage, which in turn may shape views on climate change.

Jeremy Lin, an Asian American basketball player, achieved his meteoric stardom by giving outstanding performances and leading the Knicks to constant wins. Intense media coverage and scholarly work about Lin had been done during this starring time, while this research focuses on media representations of Lin during regular seasons. This article employs textual analysis and examines 461 articles from the first and last NBA seasons Lin played. The thematic analysis shows media representations of Lin became more diverse while rarely using racialized narratives. However, untrust and low expectations of Asian American masculinity are discovered in the analysis. In addition, stereotypical narratives such as “see someone Asian, say something Asian,” and the model minority myth beautify stereotypical impressions of Asian Americans and exacerbate their “otherness.” Such flattering compliments embedded in media coverage obfuscate Asian American identity, making it more difficult for them to prove their personality and masculinity. Although the media create and maintain hegemonic masculinity and stereotypes, they are also powerful to break down prejudice and discrimination and reshape people’s impressions of Asian American athletes, and even their whole community.

Legacy news consumption was found to be a predictor of getting news from social media influencers (SMIs) among respondents in seven nationally representative samples in Arab countries (N = 5,166). Getting news from SMIs does not seem to be an “alternative” for persons disenchanted with legacy media; SMI news use may, itself, be a form of legacy news consumption. The results provide strong evidence of the more-and-more phenomenon first identified by Lazarsfeld et al.

stronger if any reasons were offered why the Guardian should, in fact, take a more overtly activist stance. It is, after all, a mainstream news outlet, serving millions of readers not only in the United Kingdom but also around the world with a mix of news, opinion, consumer information, lifestyle stories and the myriad other bits that satisfy its audience and enable it to stay in business, employ its journalists and continue to perform its important social role. Why would a lurch to the far left be desirable—journalistically, financially or even morally? In the end, I found the volume frequently provocative and occasionally informative, but largely unsatisfying. Most of the authors are far better at conveying outrage than at suggesting what, exactly, the Guardian should do instead or why its writers and editors should do it.

wonders if workplace romances hadn’t evolved in those 18-plus years between the beginning of the paragraph and the end. However, to be fair, a strictly chronological reconstruction of trends and developments in the newsroom could be boring and not nearly as enlightening. Mari early and often raises the lack of diversity in the American newsroom. He defines the newsroom “as an active place of social construction of roles, norms, and practices” and yet they were hostile to women and openly racist. He notes progress was made by the 1950s and 1960s, especially concerning Black journalists, and he names scholars whose research is “vital to understanding the racist legacies baked into our journalistic systems” (p. 18). Six of the nine chapters end with conclusions, which are inciteful after wading through pages of information. For example, after an informative account of technological improvements impacting the newsroom, Mari pulls the reader back for the bigger meaning of reporters who suddenly found themselves with a new tool—radios in cars—that kept them out of the newsroom but also put editors in their car.

Johannes Kirch
This study examines how newspapers in Virginia and the Washington Post covered the 2013 gubernatorial campaign of Libertarian Robert Sarvis in their editorials. In addition to comparing coverage volume and type, the study analyzes how the newspapers responded to his exclusion from the televised gubernatorial debates. The study found that newspaper editorials treated Sarvis like other third-party candidates, but some supported his inclusion in the political debates.

This article examines the relationship between religion and news media through a case study of Deepika, a Malayalam-language daily published in the South Indian state of Kerala. We “thickly describe” the practices of mediation and meaning-making processes of this newspaper’s editors and readers, most of whom are “Syrian Catholics.” Our analysis shows that news functions as, or very similar to, religion for Deepika’s partakers. We thus argue that the newspaper and religion are inseparable for a devout Syrian Catholic, and they concurrently mediate the communal and spiritual longings of the believers.

By employing a content analysis of news stories, this study explored how national history, national interests and journalistic values have affected the coverage of the Arab Spring by South Korea and the United States. Overall, the lens of national interest largely determined the newsworthiness of stories in the two nations. Journalists’ perspectives on journalism (specifically, on the role of journalists) as well as media routines have also influenced journalists’ presentations of the Arab Spring. The U.S. newspaper coverage relied on the views of Arab opposition figures and civilians most prominently, followed by those of U.S. government officials; while the South Korean papers relied heavily on foreign media as their sources (in particular, Western media). While this difference in news sourcing led to correspondingly divergent news frames, ironically, it often also resulted in a congruence between the news frames employed in each country’s major news outlets. This study proposes that national interests and history should be further considered as important dimensions for developing the models of media systems.

Whether on a news or a social networking site, comments following news stories are often beset with incivility. Assailed as diminishing constructive dialogue in a digital public sphere, uncivil comments nevertheless require deeper scrutiny to better understand their pervasiveness and, among some, popularity. This article uses a Uses and Gratifications framework to understand why certain people are more drawn to uncivil comments than civil ones. Using eye-tracking technology, this research compares the attention a reader gives to uncivil comments and compares it against certain personality characteristics. Findings suggest that certain readers spend more time reading uncivil comments than civil ones.
