“…Many of the amateur news-oriented blogs perform a ''watchdog'' role by scrutinizing traditional mass media sources (e.g. television, newspapers) and illuminating alleged inaccuracies in their reporting (Sousa, 2006). Wall (2005) posits that such blogs are a new form of journalism characterized by personality, noninstitutionalization, audience participation in content creation and connection with other websites.…”

This research explored Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling's self-presentation strategies that he displayed on his blog -38pitches.com, in response to sports broadcasters' and journalists' portrayal of him during 2 events that made national sports headlines. A thematic analysis was conducted using constant comparative methodology of Schilling's blog entries that he authored in response to these events. Three self-presentation strategies emerged from data analysis: (a) critic, (b) committed individual, and (c) accountable person. Using Hermans, Kempen, and Van Loon's (1992) dialogical self theory, the study revealed that Schilling fluidly moved between multiple positions when self-presenting to combat media framing. Additionally, the findings suggests that blogs and other information and communication technologies (ICT) are valuable tools that professional athletes and other celebrities can employ to counter perceived negative media framing of their personae.

“…Following ethnographies that show distinctive modes of information gathering and story authoring related to the context of news production (Bishara, 2006; Clausen, 2004; Hasty, 2006; Hughes, 2006; Stahlberg, 2006), the analysis will be attentive to relevant issues of local singularity. But it is also worth noticing dynamics of the contemporary journalism field identified in two recent streams of work that situate the present case study within somewhat more shared patterns of practice: Studies of news making in several countries have depicted phenomena convergent with those examined here (Baisnee & Marchetti, 2006; Garcia Aviles & Leon, 2004; Klinenberg, 2005; Reinemann, 2004; Rosenstiel, 2005; Sousa, 2006; Velthuis, 2006); and, comparative analyses have suggested a trend towards homogenization of news media systems and products (Hallin & Mancini, 2004; Shoemaker & Cohen, 2006).…”

Rethinking Hard and Soft News Production: From Common Ground to Divergent Paths

The twin issues of recent changes in journalistic phenomena and how they afford theory development are addressed by depicting a key transformation in the former-the increase in the frequency and volume of content dissemination in online news-and using this depiction to examine the current heuristic value of the conceptual distinction between hard and soft news. An ethnographic study of online news production at the largest online newspaper in Argentina is used to show that a growing separation in the temporal patterns of hard and soft news production is intertwined with major differences in critical aspects of editorial practice in which the common ground between hard and soft news work has traditionally been assumed to be significant. This finding challenges a dominant strain in the literature that underscores a blurring of the differences between hard and soft news. Because central elements of this case resonate with developments identified in several other settings, this study suggests rethinking some notions about the distinction between hard and soft news.

“…This study utilizes Braudel's Long Term Theory to explore the similarities and differences of economic development cycles and the establishment of public higher education institutions in the long time series. According to Braudel's theory (1976), social time is divided into three categories: the temporality of events, intermediary duration of conjunctures, and long-term structural time (Sousa, 2006). Temporality events refer to "innovations, inventions, episodes, individual stories, and fast-changing transformations" (Sousa, 2006, p. 375).…”

In cooperative human communication, the speaker has to mark the connection between his utterance and therefore the given information, because the hearer interprets the utterance regarding the data that has already been obtained. Languages adopt various devices to mark the connection between the utterance and also the context. This paper investigates semantic and pragmatic presupposition in Discourse Representation Theory (DRT) within the Chinese language and enhances the pragmatic perspective of presupposition in DRT.
