  • Entertainment Media, cultural power, and post-globalization: The case of China’s International Media expansion and the discourse of soft power:
    Global Media and China, 2016
    Co-Authors: Terry Flew
    Abstract:

    The concept of soft power has been highly influential in recent years, both as a concept to inform understanding of the cultural dimensions of International relations and as providing a practical guide to state investment in the International expansion of both news and entertainment Media. One of the places where it has been most influential has been China, where is has been used to support the International expansion of China Central Television and the growth of Chinese entertainment Media conglomerates. It is argued in this article, however, that the concept rests upon a weak understanding of the cultural dimensions of power and upon the transmission model of communication. As a result, there has tended to be a distributional bias in investing in cultural diplomacy and relatively little attention has been given to how audiences actually engage with International Media content. Applied to the Chinese case, it is argued that support for entertainment Media is more likely to support the aspirations of the Chinese government than news Media, although news is likely to be prioritized for political reasons. At a more conceptual level, discussion of national soft power strategies and their relation to global Media points to the need for new approaches in global Media and communication studies, that could be termed post-globalization, that can address strengths and weaknesses in both critical political economy and Media globalization approaches, and recognize the continuing centrality of nation states to the structuring of global Media flows across territorial boundaries.

  • Framing the tiger — A biodiversity concern in national and International Media reporting
    Forest Policy and Economics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Nazmus Sadath, Daniela Kleinschmit, Lukas Giessen
    Abstract:

    International forest and environmental governance processes assume that ideas and concepts surrounding biodiversity at the International level will be made accessible at a national level so that they can be easily adopted by national forest and environmental policy arenas. One prerequisite for a seamless implementation of these ideas and concepts is a common definition of specific problems at different political levels. Different perceptions mirrored by Media reporting on problems at different political levels may affect the implementation of policies that must be carried out at a national level, even if decisions concerning this implementation are made at an International level. Using the illustrative case of human–tiger interaction, this article shows how national and International Media reporting differ in their framing of a particular problem. Based on a theoretical framework consisting framing and Media selection theory, and on initial empirical observations, the article recommends blueprints for future in-depth research on the relationship between Media framing and policy at different political levels. This case study is based on quantitative content analysis of reports on tiger–human interaction published between 2005 and 2010 in an International newspaper and a national one from Bangladesh. Our example shows that the selected national newspaper frames the tiger as a threat to the livelihood and well-being of local people, whereas the International newspaper stresses biodiversity and climate-change related aspects of human–tiger conflicts. These results indicate that the framing of an issue in the Media can differ considerably at different levels and that this is a fruitful field for future in-depth research.

  • LE PERIPLE D'EDWARD SNOWDEN : ANALYSE QUALI-QUANTITATIVE D'UN EVENEMENT MediaTIQUE International EDWARD SNOWDEN'S JOURNEY: QUALI-QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF AN International Media EVENT
    2014
    Co-Authors: Giraud Timothee, Severo Marta
    Abstract:

    Resume - Face au deluge de donnees disponibles sur Internet, une des pistes les plus captivantes qui s'ouvre au chercheur en sciences sociales concerne l'identification et l'analyse des phenomenes sociaux a travers ce nouveau type de donnees. Parmi ces donnees, certaines se montrent particulierement adaptees a l'identification des evenements Mediatiques internationaux et a l'etude de leur deroulement dans l'espace et dans le temps : nous proposons d'utiliser les flux RSS des journaux quotidiens. Dans cet article, nous presenterons une analyse de l'affaire Edward Snowden qui nous fournit un exemple optimal d'evenement Mediatique International. A travers la description de cette histoire, les Medias ont dessine differentes geographies autour du personnage en mentionnant les pays qui pouvaient lui offrir l'asile mais egalement les pays potentiellement touches par la politique de surveillance des Etats-Unis. Nous conduirons une analyse de cet evenement en proposant une methode quali-quantitative basee sur l'analyse des flux RSS qui permet d'analyser l'evenement tout en evitant la dichotomique quantite-fiabilite des donnees. Mots-cles - Evenement ; Media ; RSS ; quali-quantitatif ; analyse textuelle ; Snowden Abstract - Facing the deluge of data available on the Internet, one of the most exciting research directions for the social scientist concerns the identification and analysis of social phenomena through this new data. Among these data, some are particularly suitable for the identification of International Media events and the study of their diffusion in space and time. We propose to use RSS
