A Framing Analysis of New Zealand Mainstream Media’s Textual Reports on the Matthew Hunt Case
No full textThis thesis delves into the intricate dynamics of the framing of media reports in New Zealand on gun violence in the case of Constable Matthew Hunt. The Christchurch Mosque attacks in 2019 caused New Zealand to be recognised as a country with gun law and violence issues. But despite several policy changes since then, police statistics continue to show a steady rise in gun crime in the community; therefore, the media continues to report on this social issue. The death of Constable Matthew Hunt further illustrated the crisis the country faced, which led to heated debates in the community and in the media about the government’s existing strategies and policies, with many advocating for immediate change and resolutions such as tougher sentencing acts, arming the police, and special tactical squadrons. This study employs a quantitative approach by meticulously examining a sample of four news articles from three mainstream New Zealand news outlets to discern the prevalent news frames and sources. By drawing on framing theory and utilising the content analysis approach, this research compares the articles and investigates the variations and dominance of news frames and sources between the NZ Herald, RNZ and Stuff NZ articles. Preliminary findings indicate the dominance of the societal impact and political consequence frames in the sample, and within these two frames, a variation of frame valences were identified between the three outlets in the societal impact frame. A mixture of episodic and thematic frames were also examined and compared to emphasise the multifaceted nature of news framing. Sources in the sample reports showed a dominance of authoritative voices. It is recommended that news outlets diversify their sources and narratives beyond authoritative figures. They could organise a public forum with feedback opportunities from citizens and report on this. News outlets should also aim to diversify the variety of news frames as findings indicated an inconsistency between specific frames and the frame valences. The comparison between the outlets showed that RNZ covered the case with the best practice in terms of news framing. There was also evidence of ethical journalism in the news framing by the three media outlets. Overall, this study contributes to the existing literature by offering fresh insights into the study of news frames in the media reportage of New Zealand gun laws and gun violence in the Matthew Hunt case
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
