This paper explores the change in Estonian media organizations’ readiness to cooperate with freelance journalists. The interviews with editors of newsrooms of magazines, newspapers, and radio and television broadcasters were conducted in 2014 and 2019. The findings were additionally tested in the conditions of the Covid-19 crisis in 2020. The paper outlines how over the five years the editors have not only changed their perception of who freelance journalists are but how they express the readiness to outsource content from journalistic entrepreneurs. We conclude that the Estonian media market shows signs of adopting diverse collaborative forms that diverge from the journalistic field. The freelancers’ concept has changed, indicating integration of journalistic and entrepreneurial roles – the entrepreneurial journalist is seen less as the odd-jobber working on commission and more of a business partner.

Increasing numbers of citizens rely on social media to gather both political and non-political information. This fact raises questions about belief formation and belief updating in the social media setting. Using Facebook data on users’ behaviour in Poland in 2017, I test the hypothesis that individuals tend to like content that confirms their beliefs. I measure the political preferences of nearly 1.4 million users who were active on the main political and news media pages and classify them as being supporters of certain political organisations or as being politically unaffiliated. Based on the principles of analytical sociology, I construct a theoretical model that may explain the results. According to the model, users tend to like posts from only one source of information. There are also statistically significant differences in the news media preferences of supporters of different political organisations. They are prone to like posts published by sources that accord with their views. The model also correctly predicts that politically unaffiliated users choose media outlets that are considered unbiased or less biased. The results support the hypothesis that users of social media prefer exclusive or near-exclusive sources of information.

In the proposed study consideration is given to the problem of the interdependency and distinction of priorities of public opinion, news media and public policies on the local level. The theoretical and methodological basis of the paper consists of the agenda-setting and political responsiveness approaches. The empirical data is divided into three agendas: public, media and policy, which were analysed using comparative statistical analysis. The conclusions pointed at the substantial distinction of the priorities formulat-ed by public opinion and the policies implemented by local government and, to a certain extent, at the interdependency between the news media and local public policy agenda.

This study combines two discourse analytic frameworks, and explores the utility of this combination for unpacking journalistic opinions written in response to a polarising and racialised event in South African education: the Overvaal High School incident. It uncovers strategic constructions of racism within politicised blame games, in the context of Overvaal, and discloses how blame-assertion and blame-denial became implicated in framings of moral panic. Methodologically, this study relies on the concept race trouble, as well as a practical model of argumentation. In conjunction, these two approaches supply insight into both the calculated construction of racism, as well as the incorporation of these constructions into arguments aimed at rationalising blame-assertion and blame-denial. The results are interpreted within theorisations of moral panic. The findings showcase how arguments are produced to blame an individual politician for escalating racial antagonism around Overvaal, instead of offering a deeply historicised and contextualised account of the incident. Consequently, the arguments that shaped the opinion pieces, and the framing of racism involved in these arguments, ultimately obfuscate inquiry into structural determinants of racial inequity. Implicitly, this framing of racism and its incorporation into argumentation and blame games, produce a form of moral panic, in which South Africans racialised as white are construed as embattled by self-serving (black) politicians. Such politicians are vilified, or rendered as folk devils, and the results indicate how this process evades penetrating analyses of racialisation and its intersection with unequal education.

The present case study in general and the multimodal analysis of the warfare metaphor in particular tend to focus on the prevalence of metaphor framing related to news schemas documented over the period of the forty-four days of an actual war - the 2020 Nagorno-Karabagh war. Certain questions (Why was the warfare metaphor so widely used in this forty-four day war? How and in what ways did this type of metaphor realize its functional aims?) are addressed in the present case study by analyzing theoretical and empirical data on the subject and by advancing my own account of the functions of the warfare metaphor in war discourse presented in mass-mediated communication. Metaphor framing and its effects usually depend on words (the linguistic or verbal metaphor), however, such effect also depend on multimodal representations of the verbal metaphor, namely on the visual image. I therefore argue that metaphor framing and metaphor effects should be examined and explicitly described within the frames of multimodal analysis which can disclose how the convergence of verbal and the visual metaphor affects rhetorical war situations and increases the audience’s reception of the message of the war. Hence, this case study will show that the wartime metaphor, with the application of multimodality, conveys information of the war and impacts public opinion, thus striving to achieve positive outcomes. The results show that metaphor framing and the given type of metaphor is encountered in actual war to draw and capture public attention through emotionally charged multimodal devices aimed at informing and impacting public opinion, thus persuading and motivating the world to take urgent steps to stop the further escalation of the conflict. The usage of such metaphor framing closely connected with the context of war might result in certain outcomes illuminating that the warfare metaphor contributes to the understanding of complexities and abstractions of war discourse at large.

Intermedia agenda-setting is a stream of research within the agenda-setting studies which is quite new and relatively hard to find. This phenomenon is described as the transfer of salience of issues between two different media agendas (e.g. between press and TV news media agendas). The goal of the study is, firstly, to examine the press and the TV news media agendas (when the local election campaign is taking place), and their consistency, based on the agenda-setting theory and methodology. Secondly, the aim of the study is to confront the hierarchy of news in the intermedia agenda and the hierarchy of real world factors (which create the ‘real’ agenda, especially statistical data concerning the current public and economic importance of issues reported in the news media). The comparative analysis applied in the study is designed to determine the (in)adequacy of the salience of news (media issues), when compared to the importance of real world factors (reflecting the same problems as media issues). Consequently, the result of the research is an attempt to answer the question about the degree to which real world factors are reflected in the news media in Poland.

Ustanawianie agendy intermedialnej (intermedia agenda-setting), to nowy i rzadko spotykany nurt badań w ramach teorii agenda-setting. Zjawisko to polega na transferze ważności kwestii z jednego rodzaju agendy medialnej do agendy innego rodzaju (np. z agendy prasowej do telewizyjnej). Celem opracowania jest oparta na teorii i metodologii ustanawiania agendy obserwacja agendy prasowej i telewizyjnej w wybranym okresie (kampania przed wyborami do samorządu lokalnego w Polsce w 2014 r.), jak również konfrontacja hierarchii newsów tworzonych przez różne rodzaje mediów oraz wskaźników świata rzeczywistego, które tworzą tzw. agendę „rzeczywistą” (m.in. dane statystyczne dotyczące aktualnego społeczno-gospodarczego znaczenia kwestii relacjonowanych w mediach informacyjnych). Analiza materiału porównawczego pozwoli na przybliżone określenie adekwatności ważności kwestii medialnych w stosunku do nasilenia czynników świata rzeczywistego (w analizowanym okresie: 19 września–15 października 2014 r.). Efektem analizy ma być próba odpowiedzi na pytanie o zakres odzwierciedlenia złożoności świata rzeczywistego w wybranych przekazach medialnych.

Celem artykułu jest pokazanie, w jaki sposób użytkownicy Facebooka posługują się mediami informacyjnymi w dyskusjach internetowych. Według głównej hipotezy badawczej członkowie fanpage’y politycznych preferują źródła ideologiczne zbieżne z ugrupowaniem, z którym sympatyzują, natomiast dyskryminują pozostałe. Dowody w postaci ok. 33 tys. odsyłaczy do mediów informacyjnych zebrane od września 2015 do lutego 2017 r. sugerują jednak, że na fanpage’ach politycznych użytkownicy powołują się na zróżnicowane źródła.

This article aims to show how the users of Facebook use the news media in the internet discussions. According to the main hypothesis, fan pages’ members prefer the information published by the media ideologically close to their parties, and discriminate the others. However, the research material (c.a. 36.5 thousand links to news media which fans used since September 2015 to February 2017) suggest that on political fan pages, users refer to a variety of sources.
