“…The cover page headlines of these monitored newspapers reveal their editorial policy. As Develotte and Rechniewski (2001) has stated: "it is difficult to draw a clear line between an informational headline and one, which has a pragmatic function since much depends on the context and the readership". Because it is really difficult to separate that thin line that separates these two types of headlines.…”

“…Based on the simple definition given by Jespersen (2013) for headlines, when he says: "Headlines ... are sentences, they move, so to speak, at the limits of ordinary grammar" and when it is said that freedom of expression and freedom of the press are fundamental rights and the free flow of ideas, then it can be said that everyone, especially journalists, has the right to fair and objective information. A research on the informative and pragmatic function of headlines was conducted by Develotte and Rechniewski (2001), and they express that it is not completely clear which function is informative and which is pragmatic.…”

The coverage of the war in Ukraine has become an important aspect in understanding global politics and the new world order. Given the heightened interest in coverage among regions directly affected by this war, this paper offers a regional overview of events in the Russia-Ukraine war over a four-month period. The paper examines daily printed newspapers in the Western Balkans, providing a comprehensive analysis of the geographic landscape. The data was collected from equivalent functional media through a strict and systematic selection of news related to the war in Ukraine. Media sources were selected using the snowball sampling method, beginning with Albanian newspapers and expanding to include all the Western Balkans countries. The study analyzed cover page headlines from two daily print newspapers in five Western Balkans countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia. In these newspapers, the headlines were analyzed in terms of the space they occupied, their objectivity, subjectivity, and bias toward one of the parties in war. The main findings of this paper reveal that a significant number of news headlines are presented in a sensational manner. In terms of objectivity and subjectivity, five newspapers published objective headlines while the other five published subjective ones. However, the percentage of objectivity and subjectivity varies from country to country and from newspaper to newspaper. As for bias, the majority of newspapers lean towards Ukraine. Our findings are comparable and can be proven at any time.

“…Besides, many studies in newspaper analysis primarily focus on examining the textual content purely at the article level. One commonly employed evaluation method is headline analysis, as demonstrated in [6][7][8][9][10][11]. These studies have recognized the significance of headlines as they serve as a concise summary that captures the reader's attention.…”

“…Examples are the works of Casey (2019) on how newspaper coverage fueled the Irish residential property boom of 2000to 2006and Walker (2014 on the reaction of media coverage to UK housing market behavior and whether this could be used to predict future changes in the market. In other fields, Develotte and Rechniewski (2001) used newspaper headlines as a basis for analyzing representations of the 1995 Franco-Australian crisis in the Australian and French press. Examining representations of the two nations in a range of media over three time periods-the months before, during, and after the crisis-they focused on headlines because, they argued, they mirror social and cultural frames circulating within a society at a given time.…”

“…As for the choice of methodology for this study, content analysis has been used in similar studies, including that of Walsh-Childers (1994) just mentioned, who examined the impact of four newspaper series devoted to health issues on health-related policies. By way of further examples, Ahn et al (2020) analyzed the content of the advertising for foods and beverages in Jamaica; Develotte and Rechniewski (2001) analyzed the content of headlines in Australian and French coverage of political crises; and Schafraad et al (2006) used thematic content analysis to assess the benefits and limitations of digital media in research. Sun and Zhong (2020) also employed semantic analysis of newspaper coverage in other contexts, in ways that are comparable to the analysis of the coverage of COVID-19 presented here.…”

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria was documented by pervasive press coverage, with daily reporting on such issues as infection rates, government expenditures on efforts to combat the disease, and non-adherence to public health measures by local celebrities. More recently, the coverage has come to include the pandemic’s effects on the economy, notably in terms of industrial performance and the implications for the livelihoods of Nigerian citizens. This paper presents an analysis of media accounts of the impact of COVID-19 on the country’s real estate industry that sheds light on the issues of concern before the pandemic, lessons about the impact of COVID-19 on the industry captured in national newspaper stories, the integration of long-standing concerns into reports on the impact of the disease, and the short-term implications for the real estate market. Specifically, within the framework of a qualitative research design, a content analysis of the coverage in three online national newspapers was conducted over the period from First February to 30th May 2020, which was segmented into consecutive pre-COVID, pre-lockdown, and lockdown periods. The analysis was performed using Atlas ti.8 software. The results indicated that the impacts of COVID-19 on the Nigerian real estate market have included increases in void rates in the upper-income residential submarket, more defaults on loans, rents, and mortgages on commercial properties, and changes in the demand for traditional office space. It was also found that the coverage of issues related to both COVID-19 and general-interest issues remained fairly constant, except that reports about COVID-19 became more frequent during the lockdown period. The projections in the coverage regarding the immediate future of the real estate sector are varied. Practitioners expected much leaner housing sales, and there were predictions of an upward trend in the co-sharing of spaces and in mortgage defaults.
