“…2018). Kuten myös haastatellut arvioivat, tutkimusten mukaan esimerkiksi paperikartat ja sanomalehdissä julkaistut tilastot ja diagrammit kuuluvat nuorten elämänpiiriin harvemmin kuin digitaalinen geomedia (Lapenta 2011;Vogler & Hennig 2013;Finn & Palis 2015). Eräs opettaja kuitenkin pohti, että koulun tehtävä on tutustuttaa lapset ja nuoret arkielämän pohjalta vähemmän tuttuihin asioihin:…”

“…Media eri muodoissaan, erityisesti digitaalisilla alustoilla, on keskeinen osa modernin ihmisen arkea (Finn & Palis 2015). Mediassa käsitellään usein myös maantieteellisiä teemoja, jotka liittyvät ihmisen ja ympäristön väliseen vuorovaikutukseen erilaisissa alueellisissa konteksteissa.…”

“…Median tarjoama kuvaus paikoista, kulttuureista ja tapahtumista muovaa sitä, miten hahmotamme maailmaa (Lambert & Morgan 2010: 148). Median välittämä tieto voi kuitenkin myös synnyttää vääristyneitä käsityksiä maantieteellisistä ilmiöistä (Finn & Palis 2015).…”

While geomedia is a new concept in Finnish curricula, it merely describes geographical methods and data that have always been central in geography education. In this study, we interviewed geography teachers on 1) how they understand the concept of geomedia, 2) what is the role of geomedia in their students’ everyday lives and how that is reflected in the school education, and 3) what is the impact of geomedia education for geography education in general and for the society. The interviewed teachers work with pupils from ages 7 to 19. The results show, for example, that most teachers consider geomedia as a useful hypernym at the curriculum level, but understanding of the concept is limited and few teachers utilize the term in the classroom. Outside the classroom pupils are mainly exposed to visual forms of geomedia and would need stronger skills to examine it critically. The teachers agree that geomedia education forms the basis of methodological geography skills and supports geographical thinking. Finally, geomedia education provides the pupils with skills to use geomedia in their everyday lives and to acquire many relevant skills in the future.

“…The abundance of studies investigated media reporting on HIV/AIDS have established that the media linked the disease with the behaviour and morality of those affected, leading to social exclusion and stigmatisation. More recent scholarship on pandemics has found that contagious diseases receive heightened media attention compared to other health-related risks (Berry, Wharf-Higgins, Naylor, 2007), while the prevailing concepts used to describe media coverage are crisis, dramatization and panic (Finn, Palis, 2015;Klemm et al, 2016;Ungar, 2008).…”

Starting from the observation that the COVID-19 pandemic is a socio-cultural and health phenomenon, in this paper we analyse the tabloid news framing of the pandemic in Serbia. Our study examines a month-long period following the first identified case, during which the government introduced preventative measures deemed to be some of the strictest in the world. Applying a news framing analysis to front page news of the three tabloid newspapers Alo, Informer, and Kurir (N = 387), our study identifies nine frames employed in the media reporting about the pandemic. Supplementing the framing analysis with an examination of the narrative roles of heroes, victims and villains in which different social actors are placed, we add to the nuanced understanding of the socio-cultural frames of reference in pandemic reporting. Our analysis establishes that the most prominent frames in the tabloid news stories on COVID-19 in Serbia are prevention and human-interest frames. It shows that the attribution of responsibility frame is used to present citizens as villains who undermine successful state measures, while China and Russia are portrayed as the heroes in the fight against are virus.
