A Comparative Analysis of the U.S. Mainstream Press and Black Press Coverage of Jean-Bertrand Aristide from 1991-2011

Amar N. Spencer

This study examined how the U.S. mainstream press and the Black Press portrayed former Haitian President
Jean-Bertrand Aristide from 1991-2011. Using narrative analysis, this study found that the mainstream press primarily depicted him as a savior of poor Haitians, and as a corrupt politician. The Black Press portrayed him in the same manner, but also depicted him as a victim of U.S. foreign policy. The findings led to the conclusion that the coverage by the Black Press is often similar to that of the mainstream. However, the Black Press is, at times, more inclined than the mainstream to challenge the U.S. status quo.

Hebatalla El Semary

The prime aim of this study is to find out the Arab Female TV reporters’ perception of ‘job satisfaction’ and to identify the factors which affect job satisfaction of female TV reporters. How ownership and management policy of the TV station could affect job satisfaction among female reporters are among the questions examined in this study.

A total of 200 questionnaires were to be completed by male and female news reporters who are identified as full-time employees of both governmental and Private Arab TV stations (Dubai Media TV channels & Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC) TV channels). Fredrick Herzberg’s two factor theory, power distance, and masculinity–femininity theory of Hofstede have been chosen to analyze data as well as variables. Moreover, In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 news personnel in governmental and non-governmental TV Stations to enrich the quantitative data with qualitative evidence.

Reporting Peace Negotiations: Content and Tactics from Uganda's Dailies

Charles Martin Jjuuko

The media in Uganda face various challenges in their development path although information about this reality is not fully or properly documented. The area of peace journalism is not an exception. Uganda suffered from civil strife, especially armed conflict, between 1966 and 2008. This paper attempts to analyse the representation of peace and armed conflict issues from a peace journalism perspective through a critical assessment of the content published by Uganda’s dailies during the peace negotiations between the Government of Uganda and the Lord’s Resistance Army between 2006 and 2008. It concludes that the two main negotiating parties as well as the analysed media engaged in some level of manipulation to, on the one hand, get their preferred points of view published and, on the other, to guarantee access to key sources of information.
