ABSTRACTThis study examines the online harassment faced by political journalists in Pakistan on Twitter, specifically focusing on the actions of users affiliated with various political parties. By selecting the 12 most active journalists on Twitter, we combined both content and textual analyses to examine comments posted on their tweets. Drawing upon the theoretical framework of the practice-based theoretical approach, the findings reveal that these journalists predominantly encountered negative comments encompassing personal abuses, culturally sensitive expressions, and attacks on their professional lives. Commenters associated with the populist political party, Pakistan Tehreek Insaaf, were more likely to engage in uncivil comments compared to those affiliated with traditional political parties. Interestingly, both male and female journalists received a comparable number of comments on their tweets; however, the nature of the comments differed significantly. Male journalists were primarily criticized for their perceived lack of professionalism, whereas female journalists were subjected to gender-targeted offensive comments. The study highlighted how socio-cultural conditions were exploited by political parties and netizens to suppress critical journalists. Overall, this research sheds light on the multifaceted dynamics of harassment faced by journalists in the digital age, emphasizing the need for effective measures to safeguard freedom of expression and counteract online abuse within the Pakistani media landscape.KEYWORDS: Trollingmob censorshipjournalistsPakistanonline harassmentpolitical partiesTwitter Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTFrom 1960 until 2017, Atlanta’s commitment to sports could be seen in the construction of multiple stadiums. These projects came at a price, usually taking away space from established Black neighborhoods. This article analyzes how the Black press wrote about the effect on their own communities. More than 300 articles from the conservative Atlanta Daily World and its weekly counterparts, The Atlanta Inquirer and The Atlanta Voice were collected. The results of the analysis suggest that newspaper coverage perpetuated existing social disparities, that boosterism prevails in local coverage, and the Black press in Atlanta contributed to the capitalistic discourses surrounding stadium construction. Black newspapers did not always act as an advocate for those affected by stadium construction, but instead displayed boosterish tendencies similar to large local dailies, by picking and choosing whose stories to cover based on the city’s class structure. Nonetheless, as the newspapers displayed boosterish tendencies it is marked with an asterisk. Journalists also asked for job creation for the Black community and reimbursement for lost community spaces such as churches, as well as highlighting the enduring spirit of community despite decades of neighborhood erasure because of sport.KEYWORDS: Black PressAtlantastadiumssportboosterismplace Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

Local media play a critical role in providing information and opportunities for citizens to participate and feel attached to their local community. In recent years, there has been a decline in local news outlets and the provision of local news, which can impact residents’ sense of community. Findings from an online survey of 2,038 Australian regional news audiences conducted in 2019 reveal that local news consumption and engagement with local organisations are positively related to feelings of community attachment. On the other hand, closures of local news outlets have had a negative impact on news audiences’ attachment to their community. Trust was found to play an important mediating role between news consumption, engagement with community organisations, and community attachment. These findings highlight the importance of the provision of local news and information, and audiences’ trust in them, in engendering community attachment. The study provides valuable theoretical and practical implications regarding the impact of news outlet closures on community wellbeing in the absence of credible alternatives.
