Dunn, Robert L. "On the Crest of a (Short) Wave: The Rise and Fall of International Radio Broadcasting." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2007. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/1055.
Full textAbstract:
Since 1927 international broadcasters have spanned oceans and transcended borders through the use of shortwave radio. In the beginning of the 21st century, some longtime shortwave stations have sharply cut back their English language services, particularly to North America and the Pacific region; at least one station has signed off forever. This paper examines the history of shortwave broadcasting--how it came to be, how it was used and by whom. Through interviews with broadcasters and listeners, it also explores the nature of the shortwave "experience"--especially how shortwave listening is different from listening to other media. Finally, this paper looks at what forces have precipitated such rapid and drastic changes in an 80-year old medium, why some adherents say new technologies are not necessarily suitable substitutes for shortwave, and what the near future holds for international radio broadcasting.

Bigalke, Nina. "Al Jazeera English : margins of difference in international English-language news broadcasting." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2013. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/901/.
Full textAbstract:
Launching in 2006, Al Jazeera English (AJE) set out to challenge the dominance of Western-based organisations in the field of international English-language news broadcasting. Ambitions of ‘balancing the current typical information flow by reporting from the developing world back to the West’ directly link the organisation to longstanding debates on asymmetric global news flows (AJE Website, Corporate Profile, 04/09/2008). In this context, the aim of my thesis is to develop a theoretical framework that allows to conceptualise two related aspects: 1) assessing degrees of both similarities and differences between AJE and established Western-based news broadcasters and 2) addressing underlying mechanisms that begin to explain degrees of difference that AJE has managed to carve out in the field of international television news. On the basis of a critical realist ontology, I combine Bourdieu’s concepts of field, habitus and capital with an understanding of agency as advanced by Archer. While the first allows me to conceptualise the relational nature of questions of news flows on the level of journalistic practices (which in the past have primarily been the domain of macro-theory), the latter serves to acknowledge the role of the reflexive powers of the individual when it comes to professional trajectories and editorial decision making. Combined, these approaches are uniquely positioned to explore the complexities of a news organisation aiming to be simultaneously similar enough to be on a par with established networks and different enough to live up to aims of ‘reporting back’. My findings suggest that overall, in accordance with its remit, AJE focussed on the global South and on people outside the realms of power to a greater extent than BBC World News, while in other areas asymmetries at odds with AJE’s remit (such as gender imbalances or an association of the South with conflict) were found to be reproduced. This dialectic was reflected in the channel’s organisational environment, where a relatively autonomous position, characterised by a largely non-commercial outlook, provided actors with a rare degree of autonomy, the utilisation of which, however, continues to be contingent on an ongoing negotiation between AJE’s twin aims of (professional) similarity and (editorial) difference.

Esposito, Angela. "International food television show formats in the digital era." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2018. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/30925/.
Full textAbstract:
A recent pattern has emerged amongst some of the top television production companies in the world – a global investment in a new style of television show format. Food television show formats such as Channel 4’s The Great British Bake Off in the UK and Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen in the US have consistently topped television ratings and attracted millions of viewers in every episode aired in their home counties and abroad. A range of publications argue that there has been a global demand for factual television formats, yet existing literature has focused primarily on dramas, talent shows and game show television format genres. From a production perspective, this thesis aims to respond to these industry changes and the gap in the literature by examining the media branding techniques employed by media managers that have contributed to the development of international food television show formats. It analyzes the distinct challenges and opportunities food television format producers of shows such as Endemol Shine Group’s MasterChef undergo when adapting food formats in international markets. Furthermore, it investigates production decisions around multi-platform strategies. This includes the adaptation of food television show formats onto multi-platform distribution channels such as catch up television like Netflix, Amazon Prime, format brand websites and social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram in order to acquire additional revenue streams. This thesis examines the managerial decisions that have helped aid the cooking show into becoming a successful, global television format. The research findings are based on a mixed-method qualitative approach featuring 15 qualitative interviews with industry experts from major production companies such as Endemol Shine Group and FremantleMedia and celebrity television chefs, such as BBC One’s MasterChef’s Gregg Wallace and former Food Network star, Paula Deen. The outcomes of this research provide an empirical analysis of the complex relationship between new media technologies, food television and the internationalization of global television formats. Furthermore, this thesis provides a snapshot of a specific and current media trend that exists within a wide scope of media industry practices and aims to provide valuable insights and build on existing media management, multi-platform, and media production theory.

Stoneman, Timothy H. B. "Capturing Believers: American International Radio, Religion, and Reception, 1931-1975." Diss., Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/1853/10415.
Full textAbstract:
Capturing Believers provides a history of the reception of American conservative evangelical missionary broadcasting from its inception in 1931 through the rise of the commercial era in 1970. The dissertation narrates accounts of two major Protestant stations, HCJB and ELWA, located in Ecuador and Liberia, respectively, as well as the U.S.-based project to build a custom transistor radio for the mission field. Employing a case-study approach, the thesis demonstrates the innovativeness of religious broadcasters who formulated a range of pragmatic responses to the drastic shortage of receiving sets in the southern hemisphere, including the use of social convention and the development of pretuned receiver technology. Missionary stations imported not only radios, but a constellation of American values into host countries through their reception activities. Overall, officials employed creative methods to construct a particular type of listener experience known as radio capture, characterized by regular listening in a domestic setting. By penetrating into the home or village and exposing listeners to proprietary broadcasts on a continual, even daily, basis, missionary receiver programs legitimized American conservative evangelicalism abroad and sowed seeds for a widespread revival of Protestantism in Latin America and Africa after 1970.

Xiangtao, David Wang. "News "Outlook" in international broadcasting : a case study of Radio Australia's Connect Asia program /." Connect to thesis, 2009. http://repository.unimelb.edu.au/10187/6670.
Full textAbstract:
The main proposition of this thesis is that the news media serve as public connectors in sustaining and stabilizing national citizens’ transnational public connection to the global public sphere. The term transnational public connection refers to civic orientation to affairs beyond national borders. This approach builds on Couldry et al.’s (2006, 2007)’s notion of nationally based “public connection”. This thesis contends that in order to fulfill such a role, the news media need to provide international news with a transnational outlook, which interprets and describes international events and affairs in relation to different countries, the region and ultimately the globe.Considering different factors affecting international news reporting, this thesis posits that news content carried by international broadcasters would generally have a broader outlook than national news media. Hence it focused its effort on examining one type of international broadcaster: government-funded shortwave radio. This thesis argues that shortwave radio broadcasting is still relevant in today’s multimedia environment. This thesis contends that shortwave radio broadcasting functions as a crucial supplementary “external public connector” in connecting publics located in the world’s less developed regions and/or under repressive regimes to the global public sphere. Therefore it is important for them to incorporate transnational news outlook in their news reporting.
This thesis argues that shortwave radio broadcasters’ core mission of carrying out government public diplomacy does not necessarily act as an impediment to their incorporating a transnational outlook in their news reporting. It proposes that the changing notion of public diplomacy is theoretically intertwined with the concept of transnational public connection; hence it is potentially an impetus for news with transnational outlook to emerge. But for such potential to be fully realized, this thesis argues that the broadcasting stations needs to have certain levels of editorial independence and be able to balance the interests of its home country and target region in its news coverage.
Using Australia’s international shortwave broadcaster, ABC Radio Australia as a case study, this research attempts to discover whether international news with a transnational outlook could be found and to try to define the parameters of such a type of news. Operationalizing a three dimensions approach proposed by Berglez (2008) in a quantitative content analysis, this study examined news content broadcast by Radio Australia’s flagship news program Connect Asia over a period of nine weeks. It found that news with a transnational outlook does exist in Connect Asia’s news coverage and the emergence of this type of news is closely linked with news topics. This type of news is more likely to emerge in news topics such as environment and health. It also found that news with a transnational outlook comprises a very small proportion of the totality of Connect Asia’s news coverage. The frequency of such news is limited by Connect Asia’s overwhelming focus on the news topic of politics. This thesis discusses several contributory factors which resulted in Connect Asia’s overall emphasis on politics and contends that government-funded international broadcasters, as well as other international broadcasters might need to de-politicize and broaden the scope of their news coverage in order to further incorporate a transnational outlook.

Ticha, Abel Akara. "Selecting stories to tell: the gatekeeping of international news at SAfm." Thesis, Rhodes University, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1004520.
Full textAbstract:
The premise of this thesis is that the selection of international news to be aired on the bulletins of SAfm by SABC Radio News staff is influenced by more complex factors than could be seen solely from the prism of an empirical journalistic paradigm. Drawing from data obtained through participant observation and interviewing, it is noted that there has been a revolution from a propagandist approach during apartheid to a professional approach following the demise of apartheid, in the selection of international news for bulletins on SAfm. Using Lewin's theory of forces in decision making and locating it within four out of five levels of a framework of gatekeeping analysis provided by Shoemaker (1991) and Shoemaker et al (200 I), it is concluded that the delimiting well-tested routines of newsmaking act as powerful companions of individuals' selection decisions of international news broadcast on SAfm's bulletins. However, these routines are adapted to meet the organisational demands of the SABC, which as a Public Service Broadcaster (PBS) has embraced the discourse of South African nationalism/panAfricanism, as a major philosophy underpinning the Corporation's coverage of the world. Therefore, some individual, routine and organisational factors influencing the se lection of international news broadcast on SAfm's bulletins, are predetermined and co-determined by the social system (the ideological/discursive structure), which is promoted by certain social institutions. Instances of spokespersons of such institutions as governments, international governmental and non-governmental organisations, etc., officiating the news abound; the gatekeepers use them to meet routine professional standards of journalism. This potentially works to sustain the hegemonic discourses of the powerful in international affairs (in tenns of core/peripheral nations relations, and elite classlruled majority relations) though there is a conscious oppositional effort to modify or dwarf stories that explicitly promote imperialism and to hold rulers accountable to the public. It is posited that the time is ripe for newsworkers responsible for the production of bulletins for SAfm to take the risk that may be necessary to inject a few changes in routine practices that could limit the engineering of consent to the powerful elites in the international arena.

Kuznetsova, Elizaveta. "Framing and counter-framing in world politics : the case study of Russian International Broadcasting, RT." Thesis, City, University of London, 2018. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/20909/.
Full textAbstract:
The burgeoning literature in IR has pointed to the importance of global communication for enriching our understanding of global politics. However, practically, few works provide comprehensive analysis of meaning construction that goes beyond the notion of strategic persuasion. This work will address this limitation by opening up to another, tactical level of discourse through the analysis of ‘competing’ discourses. This dissertation aims to advance understanding of framing and counter-framing in world politics with reference to the case study of RT. Empirically, it analyses how RT framed the Syrian Crisis in 2013 and the Annexation of Crimea in 2014. It focuses on the dialogic nature of international communication and applies a systematic methodology of framing and counter-framing to the case studies. The study analyses the dialogue between RT and its discursive rival, CNN, that emerges as a result of tactical efforts of the channels to promote interpretations. Making theoretical advancements in framing theory, the work proposes a structural model of data analysis. In particular, the work employs textual, visual and intertextual methods to extract sub-frames and identify meta-frames of the discourse. By exposing the countering strategies and the internal dialogism of RT’s narratives the work theorizes on the origins and implications of Russia’s defensive rhetoric.

Full textAbstract:
Taiwan's new media have developed quickly since the mid-1980s.
However, media legislation has lagged behind the introduction of new
media technologies. For instance, the wide-spread but still entirely illegal
cable television-linked service, the Fourth Channel, is a unique feature of
the development of new media in Taiwan. This idiosyncratic situation in Taiwan's media industry cannot be simply described as due to the rapid
development of technology. The aim of this thesis is to provide a context
in which to examine the development of television broadcasting and the
introduction of cable and satellite television in Taiwan and its
idiosyncratic nature.
This thesis (1) explores the major factors in influencing the
development of the television system in Taiwan; (2) identifies the
similarities and differences of the introduction and development of
television, cable and satellite television systems between Taiwan and the
United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong;
and (3) analyses the implications of the introduction of new media (cable
and satellite television) in Taiwan.
The study reveals that Taiwan's television system has been heavily
influenced by its unique sociopolitical, economic and cultural
circumstances. As a result, a particular form of the television system,
which does not fit into the models provided by the five selected case
studies, has developed in Taiwan.

Parkinson, Neil. "Navigating Stremes. Conceptualising, Activating, and Legitimising Strategic Change within BBC International News." Thesis, University of Bradford, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10454/7230.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers strategic change from the novel perspective of a manager practically ‘activating’ it within a complex organisation. It involved 18 months of action research and participant observation within BBC Global News, where joint processes were developed across two converging businesses. A journal was maintained of meetings and events, access was granted to internal documentation, and 12 interviews were conducted. One contribution of this thesis is a new conceptualisation of the developing elements of organisational strategic posture and related environmental events as ‘stremes’: strategic memes representing relevant subsystems, ideas, and subcultures. The posture is depicted as a construction of multiple voices, often combining, sometimes clashing, as ideas compete for legitimacy. This allows the practitioner outlook to be presented through three linked perspectives. A ‘process’ approach maps the unfolding streme system; a ‘people’ approach considers the building of consensus to legitimise stremes; and a ‘practice’ approach considers the efficacy of action research in helping to craft change. It is found that not only do the actions of people shape the streme network; the complex, interdependent network also partially shapes their actions. This research builds on previous work on strategic change, but provides new narrative insight from a practitioner’s outlook. It also created ‘practical knowledge’, since many outputs of the process were implemented within the BBC, and may have relevance elsewhere.

Full textAbstract:
According to the Olympic Charter, “the aim of Olympic Solidarity is to organise assistance to National Olympic Committees, in particular those which have the greatest need”. For the last five decades funding from the sale of Broadcasting Rights for the Olympic Games, allocated to the National Olympic Committees, has been channelled through Olympic Solidarity as a means of promoting development. The aim of this research was therefore to evaluate the extent to which this redistributive claim is evidenced through an analysis of the distribution of the Olympic Solidarity funding, and an insight into the life histories of people involved in the process of allocating grant aid for Olympic Solidarity's World Programme funding.

O termo radiodifusão internacional se refere à uma modalidade de veículos de rádio e televisão financiados por Estados-nacionais e direcionados a públicos estrangeiros (PRICE, 2002). A atuação estratégica dessas emissoras pode ser compreendida sob a perspectiva da diplomacia pública. Nesse sentido, afirma-se que elas são utilizadas como instrumentos que buscam, por exemplo, promover a imagem de seus respectivos países patrocinadores e gerar, assim, soft power. Diante desse contexto, esta investigação se debruçou sobre a experiência brasileira em radiodifusão internacional: a TV Brasil Internacional, a qual foi criada em 2010 dentro da Empresa Brasil de Comunicação (EBC). O objetivo principal desta pesquisa foi identificar de que maneira o referido veículo representa os aspectos culturais do Brasil mundo afora. Para tanto, com base no princípio constitucional que determina que a programação de estações de rádio e televisão promovam a cultura nacional e regional do país (artigo 221, II), foi conduzida uma análise de conteúdo das reportagens exibidas pelo telejornal que compõe a grade da TV Brasil Internacional, o Repórter Brasil. Os resultados demonstraram que diversas identidades e realidades culturais do país foram representadas, fato que pode contribuir para a desconstrução de estereótipos sobre o Brasil. No entanto, verificou-se que o canal perdeu sua essência internacional e que ele parece estar caminhando em direção ao seu fim.
The term international broadcasting refers to a category of state-sponsored media directed at foreign audiences (PRICE, 2002). The strategic operation of these broadcasters might be comprehended from the public diplomacy perspective. In this sense, they are used as an instrument in order to promote, for instance, the image of their respective sponsor countries and to fuel soft power. In light of this context, this research focused on the Brazilian experience in international broadcasting: TV Brasil Internacional, which was established in 2010 within Brazil Communication Company (EBC). The main objective of this study was to identify how this TV channel represents the cultural aspects of the country. Thus, it was conducted a content analysis of its news stories in light of the constitutional principal that establishes that radio and TV stations must promote the national and regional culture of the country (article 221, II). The outcomes showed that different cultural identities and realities of Brazil were conveyed, which might contribute to the deconstruction of stereotypes about this country. However, it was also verified that this Brazilian TV channel has lost its international identity as well as it seems to be moving toward its end.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse étudie la circulation, l’interprétation et l’appropriation du concept de soft power en Russie post-soviétique, dans le cadre d’une diversification de ses modes d’action extérieure depuis le milieu des années 2000. Elle analyse, entre 2004 et 2019, la fabrique d’une politique d’influence supervisée par l’État et qualifiée dans les milieux académiques et le discours officiel de miagkaïa sila. Notre recherche s’intéresse aux acteurs et aux pratiques de la diplomatie publique russe. Elle s’appuie sur un socle qualitatif (entretiens, observation, analyse de contenus) et sur des outils de cadrage quantitatif. Trois études de cas sont proposées : l’agence fédérale Rossotroudnitchestvo, la fondation Rousski Mir et le réseau d’information international RT. Nous examinons le fonctionnement de ces organisations, leur degré de dépendance vis-à-vis de la puissance publique, les objectifs de politique étrangère qu’elles poursuivent et les ressources (culturelles, politiques, idéologiques et narratives) qu’elles exploitent, produisent et projettent pour influencer les publics ciblés. Cette sociologie de la diplomatie publique russe est réalisée à partir de ses deux principaux instruments, la diplomatie culturelle et la diffusion médiatique internationale. Elle met en lumière une conception mixte du soft power en Russie. Les pratiques observées témoignent le plus souvent d’une approche négative du soft power, envisagé dans le cadre compétitif d’un jeu à somme nulle. La miagkaïa sila ne renonce pourtant pas aux principes positifs de coopération et d’attraction, au cœur des travaux de Joseph Nye. La thèse contribue à la sociologie des relations internationales et aux études en diplomatie publique interrogeant les rapports qu’entretiennent les États autoritaires au soft powerThis thesis studies the circulation, interpretation, and appropriation of the concept of soft power in post-Soviet Russia, with the context of the reshaping of its foreign policy apparatus from the mid-2000s onwards. I analyze how the Russian state – between 2004 and 2019 – manufactured a strategy of influence referred to as myagkaya sila [soft strength] in academic and political circles. My research focuses on the actors and practices of Russia’s public diplomacy, through a predominantly qualitative analysis (interviews, observation, discourse, and content analysis). I focus on three case studies: the federal agency Rossotrudnichestvo, the Russkiy Mir Foundation and the international news network RT. Specifically, I explore the internal structure of these organizations; their degree of dependence on the State; the foreign policy objectives they pursue; and how they make use of cultural, political, ideological and narrative resources to influence foreign publics. Russia’s public diplomacy, as it is shaped by cultural diplomacy and international broadcasting, manifests the mixed nature of Russia’s soft power: while a zero-sum game and negative understanding of soft power prevails in the practices we observed, myagkaya sila also displays positive elements of Joseph Nye’s seminal work, such as the principles of cooperation and attraction. This dissertation therefore contributes to the sociology of international relations and to a new trend in public diplomacy studies that investigates the way in which authoritarian states resort to soft power

Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Engelska institutionen, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-144276.
Full textAbstract:
English is used worldwide as a native, second and foreign language and as a language of international communication. The uses and status of English in Sweden have been discussed in terms of its influence and ubiquity, with its presence in daily life leading some to consider English could be better described as a second, rather than foreign, language in the country. This study analyses how English is presented in the Swedish educational television series Pick a colour and considers how this can be related to the status of English as a global language and specifically the use of English in Sweden. This paper uses an approach drawing on nexus analysis, together with content analysis, to trace the key language ideologies surrounding English presented in Pick a colour and its surrounding texts, and to locate them within the context of the existing discourses in place. Analysis reveals that the series and related documents make attempts to move away from traditional native speaker British English and American English models of the language, and towards a “Global English” not linked to any specific geographical region and with a focus on communicative competence. However, as British English and American English and native-speaker models of the language are not directly challenged in the documents, and are given the greatest prominence in the series, it seems moving away from the status quo is still difficult in practice. The Swedish settings shown in the series, and emphases on the use of English in pupils’ daily lives allude to English being approached in a way more similar to a second, rather than foreign language in Sweden.

Previous issue date: 2011-05-09This thesis focuses on the history of the news agencies‟ audiovisual divisions that act on an international scale (Reuters Television and Associated Press Television News), delimitating their operational characteristics within the informational flow, particularly the television news channels. It demonstrates, through the examination of case studies by Reuters TV and APTN, how the global news ecosystem functions, geared towards the broadcasting stations. This thesis carefully examines how this ecosystem behaves faced with the impact of the development of new media deriving from the web. It shows how the development of network digital technology led to editorial and logistical changes in the productive routine within the agencies, seen in this study as globalization‟s important social actors. Upon charting the agencies‟ commercial and structural dynamics, the hypothesis upheld here is that the vast majority of the news transmitted by these companies is determined by the political and economic interests of their biggest clients, which leads us to ratify, even today, 30 years after UNESCO‟s McBride Report was published, that there is still a great asymmetry in the international news in which countries, regions and subject matters are neglected and excluded. By looking upon the content of both agencies‟ output, the author concludes that western-led news agencies now appear to report an expressive number of stories dedicated to Asia. This thesis also claims that the bulk of their content is fed with news related to The United States and Western Europe. It shows that during dramatic and catastrophic media events, Reuters TV and APTN reassure their symbolic role by selling the idea of their news: unbiased, with accountability, diversity of themes and social actors. In these same events, news agencies also reinforce their role by organizing and packing the news. They also feed the global news system with constancy, speed and security.
Esta tese resgata a história das agências de notícias que atuam em escala internacional (Reuters Television e Associated Press Television News), delimitando suas características operacionais dentro do fluxo informacional do telejornalismo mundial. Por meio dos estudos de caso da Reuters TV e da APTN, a tese mostra o funcionamento do ecossistema noticioso global, voltado para as emissoras de televisão, explorando o entendimento de como ele se comporta a partir da irrupção das novas mídias advindas com a internet. Aponta como o desenvolvimento das tecnologias digitais em rede provocou mudanças editoriais e logísticas na rotina produtiva das agências, vistas neste trabalho como importantes atores sociais da globalização. Ao mapear a dinâmica comercial e estrutural das agências, é sustentada a hipótese de que as reportagens transmitidas por essas empresas são, em sua maioria, determinadas pelos interesses políticos e econômicos de seus maiores clientes. Isso nos leva a ratificar que, ainda hoje, após 30 anos da publicação do Relatório McBride, da UNESCO, há uma assimetria no noticiário internacional, no qual alguns países, regiões e assuntos são negligenciados e excluídos. A tese revela, entre outros pontos, que as agências agora difundem um número expressivo de vídeos relacionados à Ásia e que a maior parte de suas reportagens tem imbricações com os Estados Unidos e/ou a Europa. Durante a cobertura midiática de eventos de grande impacto, as agências renovam seu capital simbólico vendendo a ideia de isenção, credibilidade e multiplicidade de vozes. Reforçam também papéis específicos: a organização do noticiário, a viabilização das imagens e a alimentação contínua, segura e veloz do fluxo informativo.

Full textAbstract:
While much has been written on the Australian film and television
industry, little has been presented by actual producers,
filmmakers and technicians of their time and experiences within
that same industry. Similarly, with historical documentaries, it
has been academics rather than filmmakers who have led the
debate. This thesis addresses this shortcoming and bridges the
gap between practitioner experience and intellectual discussion,
synthesising the debate and providing an important contribution
from a filmmaker-academic, in its own way unique and insightful.
The thesis is presented in two voices. First, my voice, the
voice of memoir and recollected experience of my screen
adventures over 38 years within the Australian industry, mainly
producing historical documentaries for the ABC and the SBS. This
is represented in italics. The second half and the alternate
chapters provide the industry framework in which I worked with
particular emphasis on documentaries and how this evolved and
developed over a 40-year period, from 1970 to 2010.
Within these two voices are three layers against which this
history is reviewed and presented. Forming the base of the
pyramid is the broad Australian film industry made up of feature
films, documentary, television drama, animation and other types
and styles of production. Above this is the genre documentary
within this broad industry, and making up the small top tip of
the pyramid, the sub-genre of historical documentary. These form
the vertical structure within which industry issues are
discussed. Threading through it are the duel determinants of
production: ‘the market’ and ‘funding’.
Underpinning the industry is the involvement of government, both
state and federal, forming the three dimensional matrix for the
thesis. For over 100 years the Australian film industry has
depended on government support through subsidy, funding
mechanisms, development assistance, broadcast policy and
legislative provisions.
This thesis aims to weave together these industry layers, binding
them with the determinants of the market and funding, and
immersing them beneath layers of government legislation and
policy to present a new view of the Australian film industry.

Full textAbstract:
Le phénomène des télévisions satellitaires a fait son apparition dans le monde arabe en 1990-1991. Date de l’instauration du Nouvel Ordre Mondial. Une progression foisonnante s’est produite, par la suite, profitant d’un espace géolinguistique étendu, d’une ouverture sans précédent et d’un financement généreux. Sont-elles l’expression d’un changement ou bien celle d’une adaptation ? Et au service de qui ? L’étude des chaines d’information en continu Al Jazeera, Al Arabiya ou « flexibles », Abou Dhabi et Al Manar est particulièrement intéressante pour répondre à cette question. Comprendre le fond de ce phénomène, les intérêts qu’il représente, qu’il sert, et les limites du changement qu’il est capable de produire, exige de dresser un état des lieux panoramique, une étude de la géopolitique qui a donné lieu à la naissance de ces télévisions, et qui a dicté les évolutions qu’elles ont subit. L’analyse du contenu et du discours vient repérer les expressions d’une culture démocratique, ou anti démocratique, dont dépend la nature du changementSince 1990-1991, the number of satellite channels and viewers has grown exponentially in the Arab world, taking advantage of a geolinguistic space that afforded unprecedented degree of openness in a field previously dominated by t ightly-controlled state-owned television stations. The date also coincides with the inception of the New World Order, the waging of the first Gulf War which established a new regional order, and the stirrings of the society of communication. This study of news channels (Al Jazeera, Al Arabiya) and “flexible” channels such as (Abu Dhabi and Al Manar), aims to examine whether they are an expression of change or adaption and whether they serve to perpetuate the status quo of the powers that fund them

Resumo: Este trabalho aborda as oportunidades e constrangimentos da difusão do poder na África para, a partir de então, investigar as causas das guerras no Chifre da África. O padrão de difusão de poder sobre as populações, os múltiplos centros de poder existentes em um Estado, os mais variados graus de estatalidade e as ações dos diversos atores estatais e não-estatais são determinantes para a eclosão ou não de conflitos na África. Uma vez identificado este mesmo padrão no Chifre da África que, por apresentar uma longa tradição de estatalidade e um grande senso westfaliano, é visto, erroneamente, como uma exceção à regra africana, pretende-se então verificar quais as causas das guerras nesta região. O presente estudo aborda então a guerra entre a Etiópia e a Eritréia e a constituição do Estado etíope e verifica que não só o Chifre da África está inserido no padrão de difusão de poder sobre as populações que é comum à África Subsaariana como identifica neste ponto as causas das guerras de tal região
Abstract: This study considers the opportunities and constraints of broadcasting power in Africa to investigate the causes of the wars in the Horn of Africa. The power broadcast over population pattern, the multiples centres of power and the actions of the many state and non-state actors are determinants to the outbreak or not of conflicts in Africa. Once this pattern is identified in the Horn of Africa which, by its long tradition of statehood and its great Westphalian sense, is mistakenly seen as an exception to the African model, we look forward to verify what the war reasons in this region are. This study then makes an approach on the war between Ethiopia and Eritrea and the very constitution of the Ethiopian state and concludes that not only the Horn of Africa is inserted in the pattern of broadcasting power on populations, which is common to the Sub Saharan Africa, and that such a pattern is the cause of wars in that region

Full textAbstract:
Cette œuvre représente une tentative cherchant à mettre en lumière les facteurs qui expliquent la visée des chaînes transnationales de l’information pour créer cet effet de neutralité dans la couverture éditoriale des conflits. Elle analyse également les conditions qui rendent possibles cette stratégie par les limites internes de la rédaction, ainsi que par le biais des attentes des publics. La position privilégiée de l'auteur, qui a depuis plus d'une décennie travaillé comme journaliste au sein de l'équipe éditoriale internationale d'Euronews, lui a permis de tester ses hypothèses et les constatations de l'intérieur de la chaine. Cette thèse examine les stratégies éditoriales des grands chaînes paneuropéens et mondiales d'information, en les plaçant dans la perspective de l'évolution historique de la diffusion transnationale et en analysant des évolutions actuelles dans le contexte de la mondialisation. En se concentrant en particulier sur la question de la neutralité déclarée habituellement dans les politiques éditoriales de ces chaînes, l'étude analyse les divergences dans l'interprétation de ce principe de base aussi bien par les équipes éditoriales comme par des groupes cibles des différents organismes de télédiffusion – un phénomène crucial qui créent des identités distinctes derrière la neutralité prétendue des flux d'information. Les méthodes employées dans la préparation de cette thèse intègrent l’observation participante à l’intérieur d’une chaine de nouvelles internationales de premier plan, une analyse de la perception du contenu des nouvelles par des téléspectateurs se classant parmi des camps politiques antagonistes, et une revue de la littérature et des publications périodiques russes et européennesThis work represents an attempt to shed light onto the factors that explain the yearning of the transnational news channels to creating the impression of editorial neutrality in conflict coverage. It also demonstrates the conditionality of this guideline by the internal editorial limitations, as well as by the bias of the audience groups. The privileged position of the author, who has for more than a decade been working as a staff journalist within the international editorial team of Euronews, allowed him to test his hypotheses and findings from within. This dissertation examines the editorial strategies of the major paneuropean and global news channels, putting them in the perspective of historical evolution of transnational broadcasting and analysing the current developments in the context of the globalising world of today. Focusing in particular on the issue of commonly declared neutrality in the channels' editorial policies, the study analyses divergencies in interpreting this basic principle both by the editorial teams and by various audience groups of different broadcasters, creating distinct identities behind the supposedly neutral informational flows. The methods employed in preparing this dissertation include involved observational research of a leading international news channel, the analysis of the perception of news content by viewers ranking among confronting political camps, and reviews of topical Russian and European periodicals and literature

Most of the international broadcast stations in the world have their historic background and tasks. International broadcasting prevails in the period of the World War Ⅱ and Capitalism against Communism. Its tasks include politics, military, religion and so on. But with time, along with the development of communication, Internet and media, global village gradually forms. The spread of international broadcasting in politics, military, culture and entertainment faces multiplication. Therefore, to take the listeners’ acceptation becomes the essential condition of the international broadcast stations’ existence. Besides tone quality and the signal’s stability, broadcasting’s quality should take the most consideration in the acceptation of the listeners in destination areas. The followings are three elements of broadcasting’s quality: 1. Condition of psycho-acoustic quality. 2. Satisfaction among the listeners. 3. Motivation which can attract more listeners. In the research, it describes the outline and evolution of broadcast''s engineering, international broadcasting''s history and the course of change and development in Central Broadcasting System(CBS) and further studies and discusses the factors to affect broadcasting quality''s engineering, listeners’ listening behavior and listeners’ figure in midland China. To study the relevance between international broadcasting ''s quality and listeners’ behavior in listening. It analyzes 632 letters from China’s listeners and results as follow： A, The quality of international radio''s broadcasting is related to the frequency of listeners who listen to the radio. There is acoustic difference among the regions, and it affects the listeners’ willing to turn on the radio. B, The quality of international radio''s broadcasting is related to " Use with satisfy " of radio listeners. " Program type " and " Host factor " show obvious otherness in listeners’ sex and their living areas. C, The quality of international radio''s broadcasting is related to the listeners’ motivation in listening. People who are different sex and come from different areas have different motivation in " Takes interest in project " , " Problem discuss " , " Requirement " , " Take action” According to the result of this research, I brings up some suggestions after discussion: A, suggestions about the broadcastings quality of CBS to midland China, such as psycho-acoustic improvement, satisfaction with the listeners’ usage requirement and enhancing listeners’ motivation in receiving broadcasts. Two, suggestions about the development of CBS.

Full textAbstract:
Middle power Australia finds itself in a geostrategic landscape being denuded of the tall timber that once offered shade. Along with the epochal shift in the gravity of great power relations, Australia must deal with predominantly illiberal and dissimilar nation-states across the vast maritime zone of the Indo-Pacific, some of which are economically and militarily ascendant. Globally, the post-Cold War democratic project has suffered a crisis of legitimacy, and the future of the US as Asia’s security guarantor is uncertain. Within the over-arching frame of Sino-American strategic competition sit sub-frames of issues and interests of existential or transnational significance.
This thesis is concerned with discursive power, exercised through state-funded media, to optimise Australia’s influence as an Indo-Pacific democracy. The focus is strategic rather than cultural: the role of multi-platform international broadcasting as an instrument of statecraft. It identifies as a cardinal issue the process of representing and converting Australia’s social attributes and competencies into actual influence and persuasion.
The term ‘broadcasting’ embraces terrestrial, cable and satellite-distributed audio and television transmissions, as well as the Internet and mobile telephony, and ancillary activities in territories of strategic interest. Distinctively, the thesis applies a cross-disciplinary framework of politics and international relations, media and communication, and elements of organisational sociology. It is informed by a combination of scholarly discovery and the author’s extensive professional experience. The analysis dissects an international broadcaster’s purpose, means, and the variables that enable or impede its work.
The thesis challenges a common assertion that international broadcasting – as practiced by Australia – is an element of state-directed public diplomacy or a manifestation of non-coercive soft power. Rather, it is an instrument of discursive power projection on behalf of the hierarchical state in a world of networked communication. The core function of an Australian international broadcaster is to reach and establish a trusted form of engagement with target audiences, influencing agendas and framing discourse to provide a space in which power relations are contested. In establishing this facility, the broadcaster mirrors or models values and norms, and represents core strategic narratives on behalf of the state (as distinct from the government).
Australia’s ‘Smart Power’ Challenge has two halves. Part A describes and evaluates the global development of international broadcasting, defining its function in statecraft using theories of non-military or social power projection. It develops an analytical framework to examine Australia’s international broadcasting experience. Part B applies the analytical framework to the political history of the multi-lingual international broadcaster, Radio Australia, concentrating on the final decades of the Cold War. Radio Australia achieved considerable success in reaching and engaging target audiences during that earlier period of global strategic competition and regional discord. But the broadcaster’s effectiveness suffered from the absence of strategic consistency from government, flawed legislation and institutional arrangements, inadequate resources, and sub optimal professional practices. This thesis identifies what is required for international broadcasting to optimise its efficacy in Australian statecraft: strategic foresight and clarity of political purpose; processes of effective inter-cultural communication; core strategic narratives that frame the broadcaster’s editorial outlook, deployment of resources, and style. A distinction must be drawn between the broadcaster’s function as a trusted transmission channel and its role in mediating political discourse on behalf of the state. Conclusions drawn from this study, including the Cold War-era history of Radio Australia, have contemporary relevance for the planning and deployment of state-sponsored media as instruments of discursive power

Taiwanese news media attach little importance to in-depth reports and analysis of major international events. This is the result of preferences of the mass population, as well as the business philosophy and revenue from TV commercials of television companies, turning international news into tidbits. Under these circumstances, how can news media exert its influence and allow international news to broaden the horizons of Taiwanese audiences? Also, how can academia cultivate “international news” talent and provide students with the best education before entering the field? TVBS began producing the international news program “Focus Global News” on April 8th, 2013, in which the researcher took part in its planning and production as the executive producer. After examining theories and practices in the production of international news, the researcher found that Taiwan’s mainstream news channels have never produced a “pure” international news program from Monday to Friday, and thus set the direction of this paper as a “production study.” By observing preliminary operations and the production of the news program “Focus Global New” until January 31st, 2014, this paper constructs a rough model for international news production, analyzes the production process, and draws an outline of the audience, providing a foundation for Taiwanese news media to produce “international news” programs.

Full textAbstract:
The study is concerned with how television advertising content in South Africa promotes diversity and nation building. It looks at whether advertising representations reflect the idea of a new South Africa. The basis of the study involves a thorough analysis of the International Marketing Council’s (IMC) ‘alive with possibility’ television campaign through content analysis as well as Focus Group discussions. These advertisements are then comparatively examined with corporate advertisements on South African television. Post 1994 advertising was facing a new era with new challenges, especially due to the emerging black middle class as an important target market. Advertising in South Africa went through an enormous transformation, especially with regard to race and cultural representations and symbols of nationalism and patriotism. Some adverts, like those of the IMC, took on a specific didactic role to try and shift the perceptions of people. These ideals were also noticeable in corporate advertising in the country. Although television advertising itself went under transformation, people were unable to progress as quickly as broadcasting did. The dissertation looks at the variety of opinions
regarding this type of advertising in South Africa.Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2010.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the study of televangelism contextualized within the country of
Romania. It seeks to answer six main questions: I} When the Lord Jesus gave
Christendom the global, Gospel mandate, he forced his disciples into a two thousand year
struggle with, not only the message, but how to spread this message. Is the Gospel
message so powerful that it will penetrate through any method of delivery? Can a former
communist country be evangelized through television?
2) The next question asked in this thesis: is the message in and of itself, when conveyed
through this media, sufficient to accomplish its goals? Does the media encourage the
recipient to fulfill the desires of the message? What about Mass Communication Theory
which espouses that television is more likely to reinforce then transform a viewer's belief?
3) The third question wrestled with: would the former communistic country of Romania,
when turning to the ideals of the West, receive the Gospel message with greater or lesser
significance through the media of television, or would other forms of communication be
more desirable? Would television, in comparison to Crusade or Film Evangelism, be a
more ideal media for the Gospel at this juncture in Romania's history?
4) Television allows large audiences to be reached with staggering efficiency, but does the
medium itself impose limits on the kind of evangelism that can be done? What type of
church grows out of an electronic medium? Would television gather a church "unto
itself?"
5) In fulfilling the great commission, many organizations and mission groups have arisen
with the desire to carry the Gospel message to the ends of the earth with whatever means
available, including CBN, who uses television. Can television reach the masses, including
the poor, in Eastern block countries?
6) The final question addressed in this research: what are the long term effects of
televangelism in this former communistic country? Would a one time television program,
given in one week, yield results that can be determined two years later?
These questions were not only wrestled with, but conclusions were drawn to make
evangelism and particularly televangelism more efficacious.Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology

This broadcasting have gained in time of strong censorship significant and till now unresearched importance. In February 1948 the Communist party took power in the Czechoslovakia. After that Czech and Slovak democratic politicians had left country to the West.
