“…Relevance sampling was used. This sampling procedure required including only articles relevant to the study (Schweizer, 2019). Consequently, inclusion criterion for the magazine contents entailed that immigration stories must be discussing immigration issues pertinent to migrants of African or Middle Eastern regions, regardless of whether MEA migrants’ experiences occurred in Europe, US or Africa.…”

Immigration was a salient feature of Trump and Brexit campaigns in 2016. In view of this, the study assumes that media coverage of Middle Eastern and African (MEA) migrants in international press might deteriorate. Extracting contents from Bloomberg Businessweek, Time and The Economist magazines for the years 2016–2018, the phenomenon was investigated using quantitative content analysis and qualitative textual analysis methods. The findings showed that MEA migrants are positively framed. However, the metaphors and language of constructing the image of these migrant groups belie the positive frames, making references to migrants’ values, cultural backgrounds, faith, and origins in a way that dehumanises and capable of generating hostile attitudes towards them. Of the categories of sources used, politicians’ voices and quotes dominated the coverage with references to the political actors of the 2016 epochal events, while the voices of MEA migrants are underrepresented. What these findings suggest is that not only did the 2016 Brexit and Trump immigration discourses influenced MEA migrants’ portrayals, they also indicated that the media is still manufacturing consent with regards to immigration coverage.

“…Since the aim of this study is to identify organizational cultural factors, organizational reputation and overarching themes encompassed in the content posted by the emergency management organization, only text messages (70 posts) posted by the organization were collected for coding and analysis. The main advantage of analyzing text messages was its unobtrusive nature in comparison with document analysis and interview (Schweizer, 2019).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to identify organizational cultural factors and overarching themes on emergency management evident across the Facebook page of an emergency management organization. This study also aims to understand the dimensions of social capital that influence the reputation of emergency management organization using the lens of organizational culture.Design/methodology/approachThe organizational cultural factors defined in the literature were used to classify content posted by the organization during a six-month period. The posts were read and analyzed thematically to determine the overarching themes evident across the collected posts. The dimensions of social capital defined in the literature were used to determine its influence on the reputation of an emergency management organization.FindingsThe organizational cultural factors that emerged from the analysis are openness and future orientation without any evidence on risk-taking and flexibility. An analysis of cultural factors indicates that organizational culture facilitates knowledge exchange and knowledge combination. The key themes embedded in the organization's posts are emergency preparedness, communication devices for emergency management, coordination and admiration. The dimensions of social capital that influenced the reputation of emergency management organization were group characteristics, volunteerism, generalized norms and togetherness. Though previous studies have found the influence of culture on social capital, this study extends those findings by identifying the dimensions of culture (i.e. openness and future orientation) that reflects the social capital dimensions (i.e. generalized norms and group characteristics) in an organizational setting.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to theory on the identification of cultural factors from content posted by emergency management organizations on a public social networking site (SNS). The organization benefited in terms of its reputation through the dimensions of social capital which are group characteristics, volunteerism, generalized norms and togetherness. One of the organizational reputation dimensions that was evident in this study was moral reputation which is a contribution of this study.Practical implicationsAmong the guiding principles of Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, three guiding principles were evident in the posts of the emergency management organization. These principles which represent the practical implications of this study are disaster risk reduction through cooperation, inclusiveness of minority community members and implementing cost-effective and sustainable development policies for future through investment.Originality/valuePrevious studies have examined organizational culture in general, but to date there has been very little research into determining cultural factors that facilitate knowledge exchange and knowledge combination. This is also a unique study which identified the dimensions of social capital and organizational reputation in emergency management.

“…Las primeras apuntan a la emergencia de un mensaje común a los diferentes momentos de una narración (Mariño, 2009) y permiten observar las formas retóricas a partir de las cuales la posición de determinados actores va ganando aceptación en los medios poniéndolas en relación con su contexto (Löblich, 2019). Las segundas, en tanto, rastrean la recurrencia de determinados valores de un conjunto de variables (Igartua, 2006;Schweizer, 2019) y, a partir de ello, detectan la existencia de patrones persistentes en la definición del problema, sus causas, la evaluación moral y sus posibles soluciones.…”

“…Desde luego, los resultados no deben confundirse con un "espejo" de la realidad, pues se trata de la realidad tal como es "construida" o "mediada" por los medios (Schweizer, 2019, p. 267). Segundo, la aplicación de esta técnica es capaz de obtener evidencia empírica que aporte a la formulación de políticas: no solo en términos de la calidad periodística, la diversidad de voces y el pluralismo informativo sino también por la relación que permite establecer entre la estructura de los medios y su contenido (Schweizer, 2019), aspecto que suele darse por sentado en las investigaciones de economía política de la comunicación (Ali & Puppis, 2018). En otras palabras, el análisis del contenido de los medios colabora con la comprensión del papel crucial que estos juegan en la política de las políticas de los medios (Freedman, 2008), teniendo en cuenta -una vez más-que, lejos de proporcionar un escenario neutral para debatir aquellos asuntos que afectan su propio negocio, son actores políticos y económicos que influyen en el curso de los acontecimientos.…”

El artículo realiza una indagación conceptual acerca de la productividad del Framing como herramienta teórico-metodológica para estudiar los debates que se desarrollan en los medios de comunicación en torno a las medidas de política pública que los involucran. Para ello, se centra en la instancia productiva de la información y se posiciona en el paradigma crítico de este programa de investigación integral. En la fase de construcción de los encuadres noticiosos y de las políticas públicas los diversos actores intervinientes –periodistas, instituciones mediáticas, hacedores de políticas y la sociedad civil– libran disputas de poder que dejan sus huellas en los textos, sean estos mediáticos o documentos de políticas. Finalmente, el hecho de que se trate de políticas dirigidas a los medios cuyas dinámicas se analizan plantea desafíos específicos, dado que estos actores políticos y económicos son capaces de emplear las coberturas y editoriales para promover sus encuadres y modelar la controversia pública sobre este tipo particular de políticas, a la vez que deben cultivar su legitimidad en el tratamiento de asuntos públicos. Por último, se propone un enfoque metodológico triangulado para aproximarse a la instancia de frame-building y a los textos que son producto de ese proceso.
