Domestic & international newspapers' coverage of the 1998 US Embassy bombings in Kenya & Tanzania & the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the US is studied to determine whether local & cultural determinants affected the media's use of news frames in reporting these events. An overview of various potential influences on media coverage of terrorist attacks, eg, whether the event affected a local/domestic or international audience, is presented. Newspaper articles published in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Nairobi News Nation, & the Dar Es Salaam Daily News that covered the 1998 & 2001 terrorist attacks were analyzed to determine the extent of coverage dedicated to each event, the location of such news stories within their respective publications, & the cultural influences upon news coverage. Several findings are presented; for instance, it is revealed that all newspapers provided greater coverage for local terrorist attacks & that the US news media generally emphasized how these events, especially the 1998 terrorist attacks, affected the US while overlooking their impact upon African politics. In fact, it is concluded that both the US & African newspapers' coverage of the aforementioned events exhibited signs of ethnocentrism. 3 Tables, 3 Figures, 21 References. J. W. Parker

Examines the intensity & forms of Italian environmental protest, 1988-1997, drawing on an analysis of 328 national-level events, 313 events in Milan, 222 events in Florence, & 168 events in Naples as reported in local newspapers. Protest peaked during the 1988-1990 period & fell of dramatically in 1996/97; possible explanations for the decline are provided, pondering if it was real or a function of changing political conditions & media orientations. Regional variation in the intensity of protest is next considered, finding a concentration in the north. Four major issues around which people mobilized included nature conservation, energy, pollution, urban & industrial claims, & animal welfare. Analysis of forms of protest reveals the overwhelming predominance of pressure over protest actions, which supports claims that the evolution of the Italian environmental movement is part of a broader cycle originating in the 1960s. Variation in mobilizations around different issues is briefly addressed before turning to the profile of environmental organizations involved in protest events; patterns of organizational cooperation are scrutinized, finding no clear trends in networking. Legambiente is seen to be a key environmental organization; media coverage of the issues that Legambiente & other prominent groups is explored, along with the characteristics of movement institutionalization & the notion of "problem ownership." It is concluded that, during this period, Italian environmental protest only partially resembles a sustained & large-scale movement. 10 Tables, 7 Figures. J. Zendejas

Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit dem Integrationspotenzial nebenberufliche freier Mitarbeiter*innen von Lokalzeitungen in lokalen Öffentlichkeiten in Deutschland. Er liefert aktuelle Daten zu einer Teilgruppe journalistischer Produzent*innen, die nur selten empirisch untersucht werden. Der Beitrag untersucht, ob sich hinsichtlich ihrer gesellschaftlichen Verortung, ihrer Motivation und Gratifikationen, ihren Orientierungshorizonten sowie ihres Grades der Integration in die Lokalredaktionen erwarten lässt, dass über nebenberuflich tätige freie Mitarbeiter*innen lebensweltliche und zivilgesellschaftliche Themen und Perspektiven Eingang in die Berichterstattung finden. Die Ergebnisse einer Online-Befragung von 662 freien Mitarbeiter*innen sprechen insgesamt dagegen, dass freie Mitarbeiter*innen das Integrationspotenzial lokaler Tageszeitungen bemerkenswert erhöhen. Sie orientieren sich sehr stark an etablierten professionellen Normen und sind eng in die Themenstrategie ihrer Redaktionen eingebettet.

Der Journalismus steckt inmitten seiner digitalen Transformation. Neben neuen Produkten und Prozessen betrifft diese vor allem neue Geschäftsmodelle. Eins davon lautet Paid Content. Auch lokale und regionale Medienhäuser nutzen Paywall-Strategien, um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben und einen besonderen Nutzen anzubieten. Lokale Information und Wissen über den eigenen Lebensort haben eine hohe Bedeutung und bieten an sich bereits einen hohen Alltagsnutzen. Der Begriff des Nutzwertes wurde in dieser Arbeit als zentrales Konstrukt herangezogen. Die Analyse zeigt, dass Paid Content tatsächlich einen höheren Nutzwert bietet als kostenfrei verfügbare Inhalte und worin genau dieser besteht. Untersucht wurde dies mittels einer quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse von 140 Plus-Artikeln und 140 kostenfreien Artikeln der Braunschweiger Zeitung, Hannoverschen Allgemeinen Zeitung, Neuen Osnabrücker Zeitung, Rheinischen Post im Zeitraum von Januar bis August 2020.
