Types Of Enemy Labelling Is An Appropriate Way Of...

While Aday’s analysis is well-researched, it can be argued that the importance of the variable ‘enemy labelling’ has been overstated. From Tables 5 and 6, the coverage on NBC shows the enemy in Iraq to be called â€Å"insurgents† whereas they are â€Å"terrorists† at FNC. In Afghanistan, at NBC, they are labelled â€Å"Taliban† or â€Å"Taliban and al Qaeda† differing to FNC’s use of â€Å"terrorist† or â€Å"jihadist†. While the differences in the terms used to describe the enemy is interesting to note, this does not further the article’s arguments against the claim of over-reporting negative news. The analysis of this data is noticeably shorter than for the other variables examined in the study. There appears to be no new inferences to make from the data in relation to the study. The article fails to theorise enemy labelling as an appropriate way of analysing its arguments. A response to this critique may be that the variable of enemy labelling is a direct test for framing or counterframing. It is important to see whether news coverage is complying with the administration’s frame or deviating from this. Language used in news media is important as it affects public opinion about the war. It is a subtle element of bias from the news programme that gives away a political stance that may have not been explicit. This is because it establishes a sense of evaluating the situation morally. Counterframing, as Aday notes, can occur by the media rejecting obvious administration framing devices, such as enemyShow MoreRelatedDeterminants of Violence in the Greek Football League a Case Study of Paok Fc Supporters13608 Words   |  55 Pagesa person in an unsocial and savage condition.

By using anthropometric methods on prisoners and by taking into consideration perceptions of the early 1920s Lombroso argued that it is possible to determine and describe a particular type of human that he named â€Å"L’uomo delinquente†(Lombroso 1925). According to Lombroso, L’uomo delinquente carries in his/her idiosyncrasy the seeds of criminal behaviour and can be distinguished from normal people owing to the fact that he/she has someRead MoreThe Essentials of Project Management65719 Words   |  263 Pages31 3 Organization Effective organization and communications- Project teams versus functional group or matrix organizations- vi Contents Functional matrix organizations- Variations of the matrix organization - Project team organization - Which type of organization is best? - The hybrid option Organizations with more than one project manager -The project manager himself - Project services groups 4 Work breakdown and coding Family tree hierarchy - Work breakdown structures for large projectsRead MoreStrategic Marketing Management337596 Words   |  1351 Pagesproductivity The use of ratios Analysing ratios and trends Ratios and interfirm comparison vi CONTENTS 3.13 3.14 A strategic approach Summary 112 116 117 119 119 120 128 136 139 149 153 159 165 167 169 169 170 174 182 188 192 202 214 215 221 223 223 230 236 241 246 248 250 251 255 261 4 Market and environmental analysis 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 4.5 4.6 4.7 4.8 4.9 4.10 Learning objectives Introduction: the changing business environment (or the new marketing reality) Analysing the environment The natureRead MoreContemporary Issues in Management Accounting211377 Words   |  846 Pagesthis publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, without the prior permission in writing of Oxford University Press, or as expressly permitted by law, or under terms agreed with the appropriate reprographics rights organization.
