O artigo tem por objetivo investigar como o jornalismo local apresenta a visão dos turistas estrangeiros sobre Fortaleza durante a Copa do Mundo de 2014. Partindo dos referenciais sobre imagem, discute-se a construção da imagem do Brasil e, mais especificamente, do Ceará. A análise crítica do discurso (ACD), com base nas proposições de Norman Fairclough (2005), é o caminho escolhido para analisar duas notícias publicadas em junho de 2014, nos dois principais jornais da cidade, O Povo e Diário do Nordeste. O foco em qualidades de Fortaleza ajuda a construir uma imagem positiva da cidade para o cidadão local.

If there is one realm of public life in which the provincial press has long justified the mantle 'fourth estate', it is in fulfilling its time-honoured role as principal scrutinizer (and critic) of local government. For generations, regional newspapers in the UK, mainland Europe and the United States have been our primary sources of information on the deliberations and decisions of local authorities - and our channels for dissent over wayward procedures, policies and politicking. Yet, as we enter the second decade of a new century - a brave new digital world, in which it should be easier than ever for journalists to keep us abreast of the activities of councillors and officials - local papers appear increasingly neutered, at least in England and Wales. Surveys point to a dramatic decline in the amount of space and time they are devoting to council coverage, and the steady demise of dedicated local government correspondents. This chapter argues that these developments can be partly blamed on recent reforms to the way in which councils in England and Wales conduct their business. Tony Blair's Local Government Act (HM Stationery Office 2000a) ushered in cabinet-style council executives based on the model used by the UK's national administration. The act simultaneously exempted them from meeting in public, unless discussing major decisions that they intended to make collectively.

Abstract
This study tested the first-level and second-level intermedia agenda-setting effect in corporate news. Significant correlations were found between the numbers of articles of nine food companies in the two US elite newspapers and many local newspapers. Significant correlations were also found between the number of articles containing seven attributes of a focal company, between the number of articles with four tonalities about it, and between the number of articles with four tonalities about its attributes. No strong evidence for the causal relationships was found. The significant correlations suggested that elite newspapers can be used as a proxy of local newspapers to explore the relationship between media coverage and corporate reputation. The test was based on a content analysis of 2817 news articles from The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and many US local newspapers.

This study examines international news coverage in local newspapers in Japan, a country with one of the most influential economies in the world. The study shows that local daily Japanese newspapers dependent on wire services for international copy devote more of their space to international news and produce more international news about conflict and disaster than do newspapers that do not depend on the services. International news coverage appears not to be related to circulation size. The authors compare the results to similar characteristics of U.S. dailies.

การวิจัยนี้มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อศึกษาข้อจำกัดด้านเงินทุนของหนังสือพิมพ์ท้องถิ่นจังหวัดอุบลราชธานีที่ส่งผลต่อการทำหน้าที่ตรวจสอบหน่วยงานภาครัฐในระดับพื้นที่จังหวัดอุบลราชธานี ซึ่งศึกษาหนังสือพิมพ์ท้องถิ่นจังหวัดอุบลราชธานี 2 ฉบับ คือ (1) หนังสือพิมพ์โอเคอีสาน (2) หนังสือพิมพ์ปทุมมาลัย โดยใช้วิธีการสำรวจและวิเคราะห์เอกสารหนังสือพิมพ์ฉบับเดือนสิงหาคม พ.ศ. 2556 ถึงเดือนกรกฎาคม พ.ศ.2559 และการวิเคราะห์บทสัมภาษณ์เชิงลึกผู้ที่เกี่ยวข้อง 11 คน ผลการวิจัยพบว่าหนังสือพิมพ์ท้องถิ่นจังหวัดอุบลราชธานีมีบทบาทในการตรวจสอบรัฐค่อนข้างน้อยมากไปจนถึงไม่มีเลย ด้วยข้อจำกัดด้านเงินทุนในการดำเนินงานเป็นปัญหาสำคัญที่ทำให้การบริหารงานสื่อไม่มีระบบที่ชัดเจน ขณะที่การทำอาชีพสื่อมวลชนไม่สามารถทำเพื่อเป็นรายได้เลี้ยงตนเองได้ จึงส่งผลถึงการได้มาซึ่งบุคลากรที่เป็นมืออาชีพในการเป็นสื่อมวลชน บทบาทการตรวจสอบรัฐจึงทำได้ยากเนื่องจากเจ้าของสื่อหรือบุคลากรสื่อต้องใช้เวลาไปกับการหาแหล่งทุนเพื่อมาอุดหนุนสื่อหนังสือพิมพ์ของตนเอง ทั้งนี้จากการศึกษาหนังสือพิมพ์ที่พบว่ามีการตรวจสอบหน่วยงานรัฐบ้างแต่เป็นส่วนที่น้อยมาก เนื่องจากเกรงกลัวข้อกฎหมายและอิทธิพลทางการเมือง นอกเหนือจากนั้นคือการที่บุคลากรในกองบรรณาธิการมีอาชีพหลักอย่างอื่นที่ไม่ใช่การเป็นสื่อหนังสือพิมพ์ท้องถิ่นอย่างเดียว โดยที่การทำสื่อหนังสือพิมพ์ท้องถิ่นเป็นเพียงอาชีพเสริมเท่านั้น ซึ่งบุคลากรเหล่านั้นต้องให้เวลากับอาชีพหลักของตนเอง จึงส่งผลให้ไม่ได้ทำหน้าที่สื่อมวลชนได้อย่างเต็มที่ โดยเฉพาะบทบาทในการตรวจสอบรัฐ อย่างไรก็ตามจากการศึกษาแหล่งทุนที่ได้มาจากหน่วยงานรัฐเป็นส่วนน้อย แต่ก็ไม่ได้ทำให้หนังสือพิมพ์ท้องถิ่นทำหน้าที่ตรวจสอบรัฐมากขึ้น This study aimed to investigate financial limitations of Ubon Ratchathani local newspapers influencing the inspection of government agencies in the province. Two local newspapers including OK E-san and Patum Malai, publishing on August 2013 – July 2016, and In-depth Interview among a total of 11 stakeholders were applied for data collection. The results of the study demonstrated that the local newspapers did not play a significant role, or had no role, for checking the government agencies because of their financial constraints, considered as a critical problem resulting in an unclear media management system. Incomes of officers who are working in the mass media industry were not enough for their livings contributing to insufficient officers/professionals in the mass media industry. Additionally, it was quite hard to check the government agencies as mass media entrepreneurs including officers spent their most working times to find a source of investment funds to sustain their newspapers. The findings also indicated that only few government agencies were inspected as the newspapers companies were afraid of laws and political authorities. Officers in the editorial department also had other significant occupations, the newspaper work considered as a supplement work, so that they could not give an importance on the mass media work especially the duty of checking on government performances. Lastly, few investment funds of the two newspapers companies were granted by the government; however, it was not influential for them in performing the inspection of government agencies.

International conflict reporting and national media discourse of warring nations continue to dominate existing scholarship on media–conflict relationships. The literature on the subject lacks significant consideration towards understanding the relevance of local and sub-national media narratives in conflict situations. The existing literature on the media–conflict relationship in the conflict territory of Kashmir shows that the issue has been largely studied from the perspective of national news media in India and Pakistan. This study while engaging with the local news media in the Kashmir region, draws empirical evidence from the local newspapers in the context of the 2014 State Assembly election campaigns which took place amid unprecedented political polarization in the region. The findings from the content analysis revealed that the contested political issues between the political parties found higher resonance in the campaign news while the deliberation regarding the conflict in the region and its resolution had the least prevalence in the news discourse. This not only confirms the significant relevance of local news media and internal political dynamics in redefining the media–conflict relationship in the Kashmir conflict but also suggests the further need to engage with local and regional news narratives in conflict situations.
