“…As a result, barriers to entry are very high. It may seem obvious but it is worth stressing that newspapers have always produced readers, not news, as their primary goal (Conboy & Steel, 2008). In fact, they sell news to readers and readers to advertisers, using a multisided platform.…”

Key Words: Global value chains-Digital disruption -Media evolution -Media industries -Spain Resumen Los medios de comunicación de masas en España han realizado un ajuste importante en los últimos años para adaptarse a la Gran Recesión y a una tecnología disruptiva como ha sido, en muchos casos, Internet. Esto se ha traducido en la caída de los ingresos publicitarios y de las subvenciones públicas, más una bajada de ventas y suscripciones. En los años de bonanza, las promesas de Internet y el fácil acceso a los mercados financieros internacionales a intereses bajos por debajo de la inflación hicieron posible que los grupos diseñaran estrategias de expansión verticales y horizontales para tomar posición en el mercado nacional y expandirse hacia los mercados internacionales, fundamentalmente hacia

“…An important concept to note is the primary concepts behind newspapers, namely, to produce readers, not news (Conboy & Steel, 2008). By focusing efforts on tailoring news to meet an audience, newspapers can more effectively generate revenue and/or exert influence over readers (Conboy & Steel, 2008). Through engaging in agenda setting, newspapers cater to what they think their audience will want to hear, thus generating readers.…”

Content analysis was used to assess selected articles (n = 139) from USA Today, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal to identify frames and emergent themes about antibiotic and hormone use in poultry production over a 20-year period. Overall, human interest (27.5%), responsibility (21.6%), and conflict (18.7%) were the most frequently used frames. Five emergent themes were evident in the analysis of these articles: Consumers Awareness of and Concern for Antibiotic/Hormone use in Poultry Production (41.0%, n = 57); Role of Antibiotic Use in Poultry Production in Increased Levels of antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (40.3%, n = 56); Regulation of Antibiotic Use in Poultry Production (36.0%, n = 50); Purpose of Antibiotic/ Hormone use in Poultry Production (32.4%, n = 45); and Transparency of Antibiotic Use Poultry Production Practices (13.7%, n = 19). Recommendations include a stronger focus on understanding and addressing consumer concerns about antibiotic and hormone use in poultry production, increased transparency, and improved relations with media contacts who cover antibiotic and hormone use in poultry production.

“…Photographs can now be taken by the journalist or even a citizen journalist, then emailed, placed and cropped on the page within minutes. This offers an element of immediacy which is vital in the newspaper industry which is competing against the accessibility of news stories and news images on the internet (Conboy & Steel, 2008).…”

“…Therefore, greater care is being taken to ensure that stories that sell take the lead in the newspaper. As Conboy and Steel (2008) argue, the primary goal of the paper is to produce readers rather than news. Therefore, editors must create a selection of news tailored for a particular readership to create profit and/or exert influence on that readership (p. 651).…”

If it bleeds, it leads? Changing death coverage in The New Zealand Herald

Death has become more prominent in the news in the past four decades. Articles about a murder or accident, which in the past may have featured on page five or seven of daily newspapers, now often take up all of the front page of The New Zealand Herald. New categories have also emerged, including the threat of death or near death. This is evident from the increase in human interest stories which not only report the details of the incident but also capture emotion. This article follows the increased visibility of death stories on the front page of New Zealand's largest newspaper, The New Zealand Herald, and investigates how that coverage has changed over time. International scholars have examined the visibility of death in the media closely. However, research is sparse about exactly how this large body of work correlates with New Zealand print media. Therefore, this study aims to close this gap by using content analysis to discuss the prominence of death in The New Zealand Herald over four decades from the 1970s, and the reasons for increased coverage of threats of death or near death.
