Abstract:

<p>The communication of school quality in the print media was examined through an empirical quantitative content analysis research design and computer assisted content coding approach. This focus was selected due to the importance of school quality information for parents and a community. The purpose of the research was the identification of the message communicated through the media frames selected by journalists reporting on school quality and education accountability. The content sample was composed of 130 news articles published in Wisconsin daily newspapers, 2012 through 2014. Using

This thesis examines the public affairs crisis faced by the American Red Cross after the September 11 terrorist attacks. It begins with an introduction of the organization, and continues with a discussion of the crisis that developed over what the organization might do with money donated after the September 11 terrorist attacks. Eight themes emerged from this case study: similarities and differences between non-profit and corporate public relations; objectives in crisis communication; conflict between organizational protocol and public expectations; media sensationalism; effects of the crisis;

Samples of several populations, made up of both traditional and non-traditional students attending the University of Tennessee at Martin were shown different "newscasts," each newscast depicting a different style of news presentation.

The Formal style is characterized by direct eye-camera contact by the newscaster, a direct style of presentation, and no interaction between newscasters. The Informal style is characterized by interaction between newscasters, a more Informal presentation of the facts, and a relaxed atmos

Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2006.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Health scientists agree that the media is a crucial conduit for communicating life-saving, preventative and curative health messages to a wider audience. They also concur that they are the gatekeepers, and the responsibility of communicating their findings and health information to the public rests with them. And yet, their relationship with journalists is often unhealthy and in need of attention. Many health scientists lack knowledge and understanding about who the media are, and what they require to do the job of reporti

This thesis examines the television reporters' verbal depictions of two rescue events, the rescue of Jessica McClure in 1987 and the rescue of three whales at Pt. Barrow, Alaska in 1988, in order to discover what rhetorical techniques were used to appeal to the public interest. Analog criticism, metaphorical analysis and pentadic analysis were used to discover the dominant language reporters chose. Three main conclusions were drawn from this analysis: (1) use of the dramatistic pentad showed how reporters focused public attention away from the purpose,(2) verbal and visual depictions cannot be

This study examines the news media's construction of protests. Previous research has found that the news media demonizes and marginalizes protests. Protesters are framed in a highly negative fashion and primarily categorized as "violent." This study employed focus groups, agenda setting and framing theories to analyze this phenomenon. Previous research has been primarily quantitative in nature and thus qualitative research will provide a more in-depth understanding of this phenomenon. This study supports the findings of prior research but offers new insights. The implications of this study sug

The Reagan administration launched a two term campaign to win support for the Contra rebels fighting Nicaragua. The rhetorical war began in secrecy and ended in scandal. With Reagan's reputation as a "great communicator" and the priority he assigned to the Contra cause it seemed surprising to find virtually nothing on the topic in a search of the communication journals through mid 1992. The central research question of this thesis is whether President Reagan used rhetorical strategies and similar depictions to other presidents in his prowar rhetoric against Nicaragua.

The Western regional magazine Sunset has been published under a series of owners and publishers since 1898.

Sunset had always been a magazine for men and women, and one that appealed to both male and female intellectuals at the time Lane purchased it.
