Are the portrayals of Haitian immigrants in an African-American owned newspaper, different from their portrayal in a white owned newspaper? In this paper I examine newspaper articles covering Haitian immigrants and refugees. The articles selected were published in 2004 and sampled from the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Defender. Although the journals have distinctive goals and market reach, there were similarities in their portrayal of Haitian immigrants. Both journals referred to Haitian immigrants as victims of Haiti's failed democracy. However, each journal advertised the reception of this migrant group differently. The African American owned newspaper advertised inclusion, while the white-owned news paper presented Haitian immigrants as a financial threat. I argue that this difference in portrayal suggests not only that immigrants are subject to negative representation from both white and black-owned newspapers, but that the reluctance to help immigrants is more than an anti-immigrant attitude; it may be symptomatic of a racial bias towards immigrants of color.
Technological developments made itself felt in every field following the Renaissance and industrial revolution. One of these effects was on periodicals with the invention of the printing press. Although the concept of printing and journalism occurred in the Ottoman society long after its time, it had the opportunity to follow the developments more closely as the Ottomans' direction returned to Europe. With the printing house established by Müteferrika, despite the low literacy rate compared to Europe, the printing began to increase. The rapidly growing number of printing presses enabled the printed books and periodicals to become widespread. Publications, which were limited until Tanzimat, were often published in state-run printing presses, forming the state's official media organ. The number of periodicals also increased with Tanzimat. The real increase was lived with the declaration of the Constitutional Monarchy II. More than two hundred newspapers and magazines were published in three months following the announcement in 1908. One of them was the Karagöz Newspaper. The publication, which was founded by Ali Fuat Bey by borrowing money, is one of the few newspapers issued until 1955 without interval. Karagöz, which started to appear as a humor newspaper, was based on the main character of one of the leading arts of traditional Turkish theatre, shadow play, and carried Karagöz from the stage into the social and political life. The newspaper, which brought humor to the peak with the caricatures of Ali Fuat Bey, was once among the highest publications in circulation. In a copy of the newspaper published in 1909, a documentary about the tomb of Karagöz in Bursa was shared. It was stated that the tomb inscription was fragmented in this document. According to the rumor in Bursa, the Greek soldier ruined the epitaph while leaving the city during the Bursa invasion. The incorrectness of this rumor was also revealed by this document. Additionally, the existence of the tomb of Hacıvat - Haci İvaz was also mentioned while giving information about the tomb of Karagöz, in the cover of a copy of the newspaper named Fevâid, published by Murat Emri Efendi. Karagöz, one of the most famous plays of traditional Turkish theater, has maintained a continuity based on the master-apprentice relationship for centuries. It was especially widespread in the time of Suleiman the Magnificent. An important reason for this is the love of the Sultan's Karagöz. Some nights he had karagöz performances in the Kanuni Palace and watched with his princes. He also brought the dream to the palace in the circumcision festivities of his princes and watched them together with his princes. Karagöz, which became very common in Istanbul in the 1540s, was also the subject of some gossip. Some of the Ulema have asked Karagöz not to comply with the sharia and not to be played due to the obscene communications in its content. Suleiman the Magnificent invites Ebussuud Efendi, the sheik of Islam of the time, to ask for a fatwa whether Karagöz is in accordance with the law. After a while, Ebussuud Efendi gave a fatwa that Karagöz conforms to the sharia, and Karagöz was saved from being erased from the historical scene. This fatwa was included in the work of Mustafa Ali, who came from Gallipoli, gathering fatwas of the period. The work is still in Beyazıt Library. Whether it is real people or imaginary, Karagöz is an essential brand and essential brand of our culture and Bursa, regardless of Hacıvat. The fact that Karagöz has been moved from the screen to newspaper pages is a registered document of the subtle humor of the Turkish people. Ali Fuad Bey, II. With the experiences he gained from the political and administrative structure during the reign of Abdulhamid, he was able to get along well with the existing governments, and therefore his newspaper was never closed during his entire broadcasting life. The Karagöz newspaper, which has been published for 47 years, expects to be examined in libraries and private collectors and to shed light on the political and social tendencies of the period, with both Ottoman copies and copies printed in new letters after 1928.

The M. H. Ross Papers contain information pertaining to labor, politics, social issues of the twentieth century, coal mining and its resulting lifestyle, as well as photographs and audio materials. The collection is made up of five different accessions; L2001-05, which is contained in boxes one through 104, L2002-09 in boxes 106 through 120, L2006-16 in boxes 105 and 120, L2001-01 in boxes 120-121, and L2012-20 in boxes 122-125. The campaign materials consist of items from the 1940 and 1948 political campaigns in which Ross participated. These items include campaign cards, posters, speech transcripts, news clippings, rally materials, letters to voters, and fliers. Organizing and arbitration materials covers labor organizing events from "Operation Dixie" in Georgia, the furniture workers in North Carolina, and the Mine-Mill workers in the Western United States. Organizing materials include fliers, correspondence, news articles, radio transcripts, and some related photos. Arbitration files consist of agreements, decisions, and agreement booklets. The social and political research files cover a wide time period (1930's to the late 1970's/early 1980's). The topics include mainly the Ku Klux Klan, racism, Communism, Red Scare, red baiting, United States history, and literature. These files consist mostly of news and journal articles. Ross interacted with coal miners while doing work for the United Mine Workers Association (UMWA) and while working at the Fairmont Clinic in West Virginia. Included in these related files are books, news articles, journals, UMWA reports, and coal miner oral histories conducted by Ross. Tying in to all of the activities Ross participated in during his life were his research and manuscript files. He wrote numerous newspaper and journal articles on history and labor. Later, as he worked for the UMWA and at the Fairmont Clinic, he wrote more in-depth articles about coal miners, their lifestyle, and medical problems they faced (while the Southern Labor Archives has many of Ross's coal mining and lifestyle articles, it does not have any of his medical articles). Along with these articles are the research files Ross collected to write them, which consist of notes, books, and newspaper and journal articles. In additional to his professional career, Ross was adamant about documenting his and his wife's family history in the oral history format. Of particular interest are the recordings of his interviews with his wife's family - they were workers, musicians, and singers of labor and folk songs. Finally, in this collection are a number of photographs and slides, which include images of organizing, coal mining (from the late 19th through 20th centuries), and Appalachia. Of note is a small photo album from the 1930s which contains images from the Summer School for Workers, and more labor organizing. A few audio items are available as well, such as Ross political speeches and an oral history in which Ross was interviewed by his daughter, Jane Ross Davis in 1986. All photographic and audio-visual materials are at the end of their respective series. ; Myron Howard "Mike" Ross was born November 9, 1919 in New York City. He dropped out of school when he was seventeen and moved to Texas, where he worked on a farm. From 1936 until 1939, Ross worked in a bakery in North Carolina. In the summer of 1938, he attended the Southern School for Workers in Asheville, North Carolina. During the fall of 1938, Ross would attend the first Southern Conference on Human Welfare in Birmingham, Alabama. He would attend this conference again in 1940 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. From 1939 to 1940, Ross worked for the United Mine Workers Non-Partisan League in North Carolina, working under John L. Lewis. He was hired as a union organizer by the United Mine Workers of America, and sent to Saltville, Virginia and Rockwood, Tennessee. In 1940, Ross ran for a seat on city council on the People's Platform in Charlotte, North Carolina. During this time, he also married Anne "Buddie" West of Kennesaw, Georgia. From 1941 until 1945, Ross served as an infantryman for the United States Army. He sustained injuries near the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944. From 1945 until 1949, Ross worked for the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, then part of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), as a union organizer. He was sent to Macon, Georgia, Savannah, Georgia and to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he worked with the United Furniture Workers Union. He began handling arbitration for the unions. In 1948, Ross ran for United States Congress on the Progressive Party ticket in North Carolina. He also served as the secretary for the North Carolina Progressive Party. Ross attended the University of North Carolina law school from 1949 to 1952. He graduated with honors but was denied the bar on the grounds of "character." From 1952 until 1955, he worked for the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers as a union organizer, first in New Mexico (potash mines) and then in Arizona (copper mines). From 1955 to 1957, Ross attended the Columbia University School of Public Health. He worked for the United Mine Workers of America Welfare and Retirement Fund from 1957 to 1958, where he represented the union in expenditure of health care for mining workers. By 1958, Ross began plans for what would become the Fairmont Clinic, a prepaid group practice in Fairmont, West Virginia, which had the mission of providing high quality medical care for miners and their families. From 1958 until 1978, Ross served as administrator of the Fairmont Clinic. As a result of this work, Ross began researching coal mining, especially coal mining lifestyle, heritage and history of coal mining and disasters. He would interview over one hundred miners (coal miners). Eventually, Ross began writing a manuscript about the history of coal mining. Working for the Rural Practice Program of the University of North Carolina from 1980 until 1987, Ross taught in the medical school. M. H. Ross died on January 31, 1987 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. ; Digitization of the M. H. Ross Papers was funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
Abstract Thanks to the rise of the internet, the press has been able to grow online. The press has strengthened its place in the Fourth Estate. The aim of this dissertation is to explore headlines, leads, pictures, topics and political views of online newspapers as well as their influence on the readership. After a brief explanation of the main paper characteristics, the study focuses on an analysis of four selected newspapers with the aim of observing the differences between their features on the basis of three current events. Then, the investigation continues with students' opinion of the role of headlines, pictures, leads, topics and political affiliations in the press. In order to conduct our study, two research questions were considered as relevant. The first one deals with an analysis of headlines, leads and accompanying visuals through three particular topics, which come from four online chosen papers. The second is about the political views of newspapers and their potential target readership through the three selected topics. In order to answer these two questions, four different newspapers, available online, were under study, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, Le Figaro and Le Soir and three articles were analysed, namely the meeting between President Donald Trump and the Supreme Leader of North Korea, the Windrush generation and Uber vs. taxis. Other data such as the political affiliation, the country and the influence on readers were taken into consideration. To examine students' opinion of paper features, a survey administered via Google Forms was conducted and posted on social networks. Through this exploration of online newspaper articles, it was found out that one topic can be approached in different ways: some articles are purely informative, and others use techniques to try to draw the reader's attention. It was discovered that some newspapers tended to condemn or praise one party or another, whereas some others prefer to remain neutral in the political sphere. This political orientation is linked to the target readership. One article may attract one specific reader or all readers without distinction. The results of the survey showed that the students in Translation and Multilingual Communication at UCL were in favour of online papers rather than print versions. Besides, they considered that topics and headlines are the two main features that may give them the wish to read an online article. Finally, an overwhelming majority was aware that papers have an impact on their opinions. ; Master [120] en communication multilingue, Université catholique de Louvain, 2018
