TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline a number of important patterns that constitute the contextual discursive resources of such depictions identified in representative media samples and other sources and provide a set of alternative framings for each pattern, and challenge what Deuze has referred to as an 'occupational ideology' of journalism and ultimately to change Pakeha newsmaking practices that routinely undermine efforts to approach and attain social justice in the field of Māori/Pakeha relations in Aotearoa.
Abstract: Negative mass media representations of Maori are of major concern, impacting on Maori/Pakeha relations, how Maori see themselves, on collective health and wellbeing, and ultimately undermining the fundamentals of equity and justice in our society. In this article, we outline a number of important patterns that constitute the contextual discursive resources of such depictions identified in representative media samples and other sources and provide a set of alternative framings for each pattern. Our purpose is to challenge what Deuze (2004) has referred to as an 'occupational ideology' of journalism and ultimately to change Pakeha newsmaking practices that routinely undermine efforts to approach and attain social justice in the field of Māori/Pakeha relations in Aotearoa.

TL;DR: A content analysis of 2004 Olympic Games coverage on the website of Australia's national public broadcaster, ABC News Online, showed that images of female athletes outnumbered those of male athletes as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Photographs tell stories. They are ‘so much a part of our daily lives we rarely think about how they influence us and what that influence is’. Yet photographs, like other media images, can be used to legitimate the interests of hegemonic groups seeking to shape consensus or consent to existing social arrangements (Duncan, 1990, p. 22). A content analysis of 2004 Olympic Games coverage on the website of Australia’s national public broadcaster, ABC News Online, shows that images of female athletes outnumbered those of male athletes. However, in line with results from analysis of 2000 Olympics coverage on News Online, women competing in team sports received little recognition and females were frequently depicted as passive subjects rather than active competitors. Such under-representation for team players and stereotypical portrayals of sportswomen on News Online may instill in its news audiences the belief that women’s sports are less powerful, less interesting and thus separate and different from men’s sports.

TL;DR: The authors argue that the terms citizen and journalist are multivalent discursive constructs, and that recognising the various contexts in which they are deployed is essential to understand the ways in which changes to relationships between media participants are occurring and being resisted.
Abstract: Since it emerged early this century, 'citizen journalist' and its related terms have been increasingly contested among groups including professional journalists, academics, and citizens themselves. This article creates a typology of five key participant groups in this contest and uses it to analyse the discursive constructs each group uses to advance their position. We argue that the terms citizen and journalist are multivalent discursive constructs, and that recognising the various contexts in which they are deployed is essential to understanding the ways in which changes to relationships between media participants are occurring and being resisted.

TL;DR: The trends in state regulation, surveillance and control of the internet in Asia stand to effectively reduce political expression as it has been noted that post 11 September 2001 a slew of anti-terrorism laws have been adopted in Asia which place restrictions on the Internet as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The trends in state regulation, surveillance and control of the internet in Asia stand to effectively reduce political expression as it has been noted that post 11 September 2001 a slew of anti-terrorism laws have been adopted in Asia which place restrictions on the Internet. Such measures limit and reduce the space cyberactivists have to push the democratic agenda online and add to already draconian regulations in Southeast Asian countries.

TL;DR: The authors argue that journalists should be encouraged to use Indigenous sources for their stories about indigenous affairs, by challenging prevailing understanding of indigenous people and their worldview, and this alone might enable access to indigenous public spheres, across lines of cultural diversity.
Abstract: Journalism should be viewed as a key cultural practice to facilitate dialogue between different public spheres, and journalists must be encouraged to use Indigenous sources for their stories about indigenous affairs. This alone might enable access to indigenous public spheres, across lines of cultural diversity, by challenging prevailing understanding of indigenous people and their worldview.
