Authors: Miao Feng; Paul R. Brewer; Barbara L. Ley (2012) - This study examines how Chinese and US news media covered the 2008 Chinese baby formula scandal. It begins by drawing on framing theory to provide a theoretical groundwork for comparing Chinese and US news coverage of product safety issues*an area of growing international concern due to the ever-increasing globalization of the world economy. It then presents an analysis comparing how two leading news agencies, the Xinhua News Agency of China and Associated Press (AP) of the United States, framed the scandal. In terms of the topics that Xinhua and AP covered, a higher proportion of the stories from the latter agency mentioned causes of the contamination, effects of the contamination, responses to the contamination, and links between the baby formula scandal and other safety issues in...

Authors: Lu Tang (2012) - Corporate social responsibility (CSR) in China is an issue of global concern.
China’s business sector has been facing criticisms both at home and abroad for its unsatisfactory records on environmental conservation, business transparency, labor conditions, and product safety. Even some multinational corporations are said to have lowered their ethical standards when they operate in China. Media are a major stakeholder in defining and promoting CSR, and media coverage of CSR sets the agendas for the public and, to some extent, for corporations, by raising awareness about CSR issues and selectively emphasizing certain aspects of CSR. Guided by theories of agenda setting, framing, and agenda building, this paper reports a content analysis of the CSR coverage in five leading Chinese news...

Authors: Chingching Chang (2012) - The likelihood that people tell stories in advertising, as well as the type of stories they tell, may reflect their cultural variation. A content analysis shows that commercials in Taiwan are more likely to employ narrative appeals than are commercials in the United States, and the story structures in Taiwanese commercials are less likely to be well-developed. Narrative ads in the two cultures also differ on three content dimensions: problems to be solved, psychological benefits from solving the problem, and the emotion experienced in the process.
The discussion of such differences relies on an integrated explanatory framework.

Authors: Geff Green; Eleanor Grace Lockley (2012) - This study investigates communication practices of a newly arrived Karen refugee community in the UK who, as well as establishing themselves in a strange country, seek to keep in touch, campaign politically and maintain identity collectively through communication and contact with their global diaspora. We look at the technologies, motivations and inhibiting factors applying to the communication by adult members of this community and construct the idea of three zones of displacement which help to model the particular contexts, challenges and methods of their communication. We find that, overall, they are using a wide range of internet-based technologies, with the aim to ‘keep-in-touch’ (personal contacts) and to ‘spread the word’ (political communication). This also includes archaic,...

Authors: Lai Fong Yang; Md. Sidin Ahmad Ishak (2012) - In 2003, the Malaysian Government announced the policy of Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English [ETeMS or better known by its Malay
acronym, Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa
Inggeris (PPSMI)]. The policy has, however, caused a furore, with both Malay nationalists and Chinese educationists treating the decision as an attack on their identity. Later in July 2009, the Malaysian Government announced to reverse the PPSMI policy starting from 2012. Researchers have long understood news as an artefact of a socially constructed reality. In making news, journalists shape a reality that reflects the political economic and ideological boundaries within which they work. By employing framing as the theoretical framework and content analysis as the research ...
