▼ This study was an inquiry into the perception of Ethiopian journalists with regard to the watchdog role of journalism. In this regard, the researcher has employed Western model of journalism, Development model journalism and propaganda model as theoretical underpinnings to answer the designed research questions. To come up with a seeming finding, qualitative research methodology was employed with an individual in-depth interview and focus group discussion as instruments for data collection. Hence, using a purposive sampling, a total of six practicing journalists were interviewed in the in-depth interview category, of which two were editors-in-chief, the other two, deputy editors-in- chiefs, one assistant editor and finally a producer. In the focus group discussion domain, six journalists were interviewed from one media house. The participants for the individual in-depth interview were also drawn from both government and private media institutions. In the findings, journalists from both individual and focus group fronts have the orientation toward watchdog journalism as the Western literature portrays it; „to be the public‟s eye in monitoring and exposing power abuse and misuse, maladministration, and corruption, to serve as a check and balance on the government or a fourth estate to monitor the three branches of government.‟ Except one who learned it at school, the rest were informed about it through reading and actual practice. When it comes to our context, the government media has espoused development journalism, while the private media claimed to exercise watchdog journalism with all its challenges. At last, it was found out that since the practice of the Western model of journalism was not compatible to our situation, development journalism seems to be the available option that works in our condition. Moreover, it was also shown that watchdog journalism has a part to play in the realm of development journalism. Furthermore, it was suggested that the practice of watchdog journalism needs a redefinition in our context. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Gebremedhin Simon (advisor).

▼ Journalistic ethics is a key issue of concern among not only journalists and journalism educators but also the general public, and particularly so in a transitional society. So, in the time of information society, getting ethical journalists in all media house is indispensible for the people to exercise the right to know the truth. As one can easily guess, truth or information is a power and gives people a big power. This power can transform the society in to a new level of development. Ethical journalists are the one who facilitate this power to be used by the people. When journalists become unable to accomplish this role, the society will lose the trusts and label journalists or the profession as a whole untrustworthy and dishonesty. However, the media have the responsibility of serving the people by providing fair, balanced and accurate stories in a responsible manner. So, this thesis aims at exploring the state of journalistic ethics in the newsroom of the Amhara mass media agency. In the newsroom, journalists (reporters) do not give due attention to journalistic ethical principles needed in the newsroom. That some people are heard complaining about journalistic ethics are violated and affected by journalist own biases, personal interest, subjective judgments and the like are the main factors of it. Thus, ethical issues and news credibility may be neglected. So, the researcher tries to identify ethical problems, observed in the newsroom in the case of the Amhara mass media agency. The study is conducted in Amhara mass media agency‟s newsroom. The researcher gathered data through individual in-depth interview and focus group discussion with Amhara mass media newsroom‟s editors and reporters (journalists) respectively. Moreover, to attain the research objective easily and reach at valid findings, the study tries to use the researcher‟s own observation. The results show that the major respondents have said; fairness and balanced reporting, objectivity, social responsibility and conflicts of interest are affected by different ways in the newsroom. In this particular research topic the researchers also able to find many details for internal and external factors of journalists that influence ethical decision making process in the newsroom. Those are: individual, small group (editors, managers, or colleagues), organizations, professional problems, economic factors, psychological factors, and self-censorship of journalists. Based on the finding, therefore, the researcher recommends the media stakeholders to work more on professional journalistic ethics, confident, responsible and skilled journalists are needed in the newsroom.

▼ The purpose of the study was to examine the level of job-satisfaction and its determining factors among journalists working in Addis Ababa and Federal mass media agencies. Accordingly, the study questions were targeted to answer the overall level of job-satisfaction in general and across media agencies as perceived by the journalists themselves (perceived); as measured indirectly by satisfaction levels on particular work-related factors (interpolated); and the combined of the above two (aggregate). Furthermore, the study attempted to find out if there exists a statistically significant variation across demographic variables and association between job-satisfaction and work-related factors. The study population included journalists and editors drawn from four media agencies, vis., E.B.C, A.A.M.M.A, E.N.A, & E.P.A. Stratified cluster systematic random sampling method was employed to sample the respondents from these agencies after the sample size was determined statistically to ensure equal and proportional probability across media agencies and sexes. The research design used was mixed research method and to be specific, sequential exploratory research design since no research was available to guide the possible sub-constructs that adequately define and capture the construct – job-satisfaction in the Ethiopian context. The data obtained through questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive (frequency, percentages, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and, Pearson product moment multiple regression). Findings on all the three measures of jobsatisfaction, i.e., ‘perceived job-satisfaction’, ‘interpolated job-satisfaction’ and ‘aggregate jobsatisfaction’, respectively, have indicated that the majority (72%), (66.0%), and (66.0%) of the journalists lack job-satisfaction. Data further have shown that there is statistically significant variation across agencies on all the three measures of job-satisfaction have further indicated that. Analysis of data across demographic variables yielded that job-satisfaction show statistically significant variation across most variables, i.e., sex, age groups, educational level, work experience as journalists, marital status, pay or monthly salary. Hence, measured on a 0 to 10 scale higher level of aggregate job-satisfaction was witnessed among older journalists compared to younger cohorts, i.e., 41-50 years (M = 5.7590); 31-40 years (M = 5.2156) ; and 20-30 years (M = 4.5939); female (M = 5.23) male (M = 4.84); those with, relatively, more working experience, i.e., 11-15 years (M = 5.4623); 6-10 years (M = 5.4593) ; and 1-5 years (M = 4.6407); married (M = 5.14) compared to single (M = 4.57); those with, relatively, higher salary, i.e., Birr 5500-7000 (M = 5.6553); Birr 4000-5500 (M = 5.0888); Birr 2500-4000 (M = 4.6002); and Birr 1000-2500 (M = 4.0592). Data responding to the final study question have shown that there is statistically significant association between levels of job-satisfaction and… Advisors/Committee Members: Ato Gobena Daniel (advisor).

▼ The main purpose of this study was to analyze the challenges and opportunities in reporting terrorism by journalists in Kenya. The specific objectives were: to examine the challenges that journalists experience when reporting on terrorism in Kenya, to examine the various ways in which the media coverage of terrorism can compromise national security in Kenya, to examine the role of social media in the promotion of terrorist‟s agenda in Kenya, and to investigate how the media can objectively report on terrorism while safeguarding national interests in Kenya. The study utilized descriptive research design involving a survey and content analysis. The target population for this study was journalists who report on terrorism, security agencies charged with the mandate of managing terrorism and media trainers. The study adopted the purposive sampling technique to select a sample size of 90 respondents. Data was collected using questionnaires and one-on-one interviews with media trainers, generating both qualitative and quantitative data. The study found that majority of the respondents encountered challenges while reporting terrorism but they felt that journalists were well trained to survive the challenges particularly if guidelines on how to report on terrorism were set. The study also found that media coverage of terrorism compromises national security by running speculative stories and that constant broadcast of dramatic and explicit images of terrorist activities create tension, fear, anger and grief to the public. Further, the study found that media enhance the agenda of terrorists by reporting terrorism activities to promote the goals of terrorists. The study found that media reporting on terrorism can enhance national security interests through responsible journalism that boosts security and reduces the effect of terrorist activities by preaching peace in the country. The study recommended that journalists should avoid words that may seem to magnify the threat and fear in people, and tone down on negative rhetoric, avoid stories that may breed stereotypes against certain persons in the community and promote stories that unite people and rally them together in times of terror attacks. Journalists should also wholly embrace self-regulation and through its various organizations spearhead campaigns that create awareness on terrorism reporting among journalists.

Professional Doctorate - Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)

Hong Kong is a highly liberal society with strong social belief of press freedom. Such freedom is protected by article 27 on the Basic Law of Hong Kong which states that Hong Kong residents shall have freedom of speech, of the press and of publication; freedom of association, of assembly, of procession and of demonstration; and the right and freedom to form and join trade unions, and to strike. The majority of Hong Kong media company is privately held with diverse political views. The government only has ownership on Radio Television Hong Kong. Hong Kong was ranked 69th and China was ranked 176th out of 180 territories ranked by the Reporters without Borders on the world Press Freedom Index in 2016. According to the article 35 of Chinese constitution, citizens are guaranteed with rights of freedom of press, assembly, association, demonstration and publications. However, Administration of Press, publication, radio, film and television of the People’s Republic of China under state council which manages, owns, supervises and monitors all news organization requires news workers in China to faithfully perform the role as mouthpiece for the party under all circumstances. There is a different practice of media industry and different political system as well as different ideology training on journalism between Hong Kong and China. As such, such difference in the ideology leads to potential conflict of job expectations towards role of media between the editor perspective in Hong Kong non-Mainland China owned company and journalists trained in mainland Chinese media system. The research problem goal is to exam whether journalists trained in mainland China communist party controlled media industry and ideology training would have problems to adapt to work in Hong Kong liberal media environment. The research finding suggests that the pure background in connection with the Chinese Communist Party either as a member of the party or a member of the Chinese Youth League is not a consideration or a concern for editors in Hong Kong non mainland China owned media company to make hiring decision. The main concern is on the socialization with other colleagues and different perspective on news judgment while handling news content.

▼ This Master's thesis is a study aimed at gaining insight into why Russian journalists specialize in investigative journalism. Since the 1990s, international and Russian media monitoring systems have shown that Russia is one of the more dangerous countries in which to practice journalism, especially when it comes to investigative journalists unearthing information that corporate, political or military forces would rather be kept away from public attention. Given the circumstances, why do Russian investigative journalists continue to practice such a risky profession? While investigative journalism is often considered a bi-product of a democratic spirit to maintain a healthy citizenry by bringing public attention to any wrongdoings by societies' elites to in turn compel the latter to behave responsibly, a study on investigative journalism as practised in Russia holds particular interest given the tumultuous conditions the Russian Federation continues to develop in, not to mention current president Vladimir Putin's conservative attitude towards the media's press freedom. This study is based on interviews with seven Russian investigative journalists - collected in the autumn 2012 and summer 2013 in Moscow, Petrozavodsk and Helsinki. While the main goal of this study is to assess why these journalists have specialized in investigative journalism, the research also explores the assets the profession has to offer, as well as the challenges the journalists face when practising this riskier type of journalism. In addition to identifying the reasons why the participants of this study are drawn to practising investigative journalism, this research suggests that there is a continuation between the motivation exhibited by today's investigative journalists and the 'sense of duty' expressed by Soviet journalists in prior studies. Additionally, this study shows that investigative journalism is considered to be an exemplar of professionalism among these Russian journalists. Finally, this research proposes that the audience, as readers and viewers of investigative reporting, plays a potentially crucial role in the perpetuation of investigative journalism now and in the future.

▼ This thesis is the first comprehensive account of the groundbreaking Australian women journalists who reported World War II from Australia, Europe and the Asia-Pacific. Since the first Australian woman covered the Boer War in 1900, Australian women journalists have been tenacious in their determination to report from close to the battlefield, and from beyond the ‘woman’s angle’. This thesis argues that Australian women war reporters were more numerous, productive and significant than the prior historiography has indicated. Through analysis of official military and government documents from the United Kingdom and Australia, as well as the journalism and the recollections of American, British and Australian journalists, it interrogates the ways that the military perceived, defined and controlled women war reporters. In revealing the diversity and breadth of Australian women’s war reportage this study also examines Australian press culture and attitudes towards women journalists, and reveals the various ways women reporters manipulated or rejected gendered assumptions about their role in journalism. The thesis will demonstrate that the resistance to the presence of women war reporters in operational areas during World War II was particularly strong within the Australian and British military establishment, but government authorities, newspaper editors and male journalists all opposed granting women reporters equality with their male colleagues. Australian and British women reporters faced more challenges in gaining accreditation as war correspondents than American women. Attitudes to women reporters – as expressed in official policy or voiced by individual male editors, military officers and journalists – were shaped by ingrained cultural beliefs about the nature of sexual difference, and by gendered understandings of both journalism and war. The military’s suspicion of women journalists was influenced by the perceived triviality of women’s journalism, and the belief that their visible difference from the troops could undermine military operations. Not until late 1942 in Australia, and mid–1944 in Europe, were British and Australian women permitted to become accredited war correspondents. Both the British and Australian military believed the primary role of women war reporters was to publicise the work of the women’s auxiliary services on the home front. The military’s definition of ‘war correspondent’ as a male reporter of frontline conflict resulted in the construction of the subsidiary gendered category of ‘woman war correspondent’ as a reporter of non-combat war news for an imagined female audience. These definitions forced the formulation of policies and procedures aimed at preventing the incursion of women reporters into the combat zone. The military’s conviction that women did not belong at the front was fortified by arguments about women’s physical vulnerability, their lack of affinity with technology, and their inability to understand or cope with war conditions. Even when British and Australian…

Sellele kõigele lisandub uue tõhusa ärimudeli otsimine, millega praegu meediaettevõtted silmitsi seisavad. Väitekirja eesmärk on uurida ajakirjanikke, kes kõikide nende muutuste kiuste teevad väga olulist tööd – toimetavad auditooriumini informatsiooni ühiskonnas toimuva kohta. Doktoritöö täpsem eesmärk on uurida ajakirjanike töörutiini ja stressi, selgitada välja nõudmised ning ressursid uudise loomise protsessis ja analüüsida professionaalset tagasi- ja edasisidet ajakirjanike töös. Nii stressitekitavate kui ka töös toetavana mõjuvate tegurite väljaselgitamiseks ja analüüsiks kasutan töö nõudmiste-ressursside (job demands-resources) teooriat. Kasutasin töös nii kvantitatiivseid kui ka kvalitatiivseid meetodeid, mis andsid mulle ühtviisi nii andmeid laiema konteksti kohta kui ka detailset materjali ajakirjaniku töö, stressi, nõudmiste ja ressursside kohta. Töös tuli välja, et muutuste ja uute nõudmiste tõttu pole minu valimite ajakirjanikel veel tõhusaid rutiine välja kujunenud. Tõhusad rutiinid tähendavad seda, et ajakirjanikud suudavad kiiresti opereerida mitmete meediumide vahel, vältides negatiivset stressi või vähemalt selle kuhjumist. Ühtlasi tunnetasid ajakirjanikud mitmekülgseid tehnoloogilisi oskusi positiivsete omadustena ja intervjuudes nenditi, et ka toimetustes peetakse neid olulisteks. See viis aga ka tõsiasjani, et eri vanuses ja kogemusega inimestel tekib stress erinevatest nüanssidest: noortel pigem sellest, et töötatakse eri meediumidega ja seetõttu tehakse rohkem tööd; vanematel pigem sellest, et kohati võib oskuste vähesus või mitte nii tõhus ja kiire reaktsioon eri meediumides tekitada tööl jätkamise suhtes ebakindlust. Professionaalset edasi- ja tagasisidet, mida peavad töö nõudmiste-ressursside teooria autorid üheks oluliseks toetavaks teguriks tööl, said ajakirjanikud minu uuringutes väga vähe. Klõpsustatistika on küll tagasiside tehtud tööle, ent ei sisalda endas piisavalt informatsiooni, millest ajakirjanik võiks õppida, et ennast professionaalselt arendada.; The aim of this doctoral dissertation is to analyze and map out job demands and resources, routines and stress in the news production process of Estonian journalists. Another aspect that is investigated in this dissertation is professional feedback and feedforward. To investigate aspects that support or cause stress among journalists, job demands-resources theory is being implemented. Different researchers in journalism studies have said that journalism is in a state of flux for a quite some time now. Technological changes have had influence on job demands and tasks in journalism (and other areas as well). Another topic of discussion in journalism is the collapse of old business model and the search of a new one. Journalists have to carry out an important task of distributing… Advisors/Committee Members: Ugur, Kadri, juhendaja (advisor).

▼ Two studies that employed semi-structured in-depth interviews with 22 South Korean journalists found that significant changes have recently occurred in the occupational perspectives, behaviors, and moral reasoning among these journalists in accordance with changes in several contexts that influence their coverage and reporting activities. The first study focuses on Korean journalists’ occupational identity and structural conditions that have affected their attitudes toward the profession. Influenced by professional groups that in the past strongly advocated editorial independence and fair news reporting, many Korean journalists have continued to share these ideal values and goals that support their role as professionals who serve the public. However, recently some Korean journalists’ occupational self-identity has changed to that of a “salaryman,” defined as an employee whose main goal is to work for a living with little or no professional identity. The current study, designed to develop a substantive theory using an inductive approach, finds that formation of Korean journalists’ occupational identity as a “salaryman” is the product of three structural conditions that influence their work. These findings touch upon two major topics of discussion in journalism studies: a comparative approach for analysis of practices of the press in certain countries and the long-held question of whether journalism is a profession. The second study, using an adaptation of Kohlberg’s Moral Judgment Interview that was developed to identify participants’ moral justification for their choice in dilemmatic situations, explores the characteristics of Korean journalists’ moral reasoning and situational conditions that affect their decision-making in ethical dilemmas they encounter in the workplace. Findings show that the level of Korean journalists’ moral development is fairly low, considered to be the outcome of their adoption in recent years of an occupational self-identification as a “salaryman” rather than as a professional. Current workplace practices in South Korean media companies appear to have eroded Korean journalists’ professional autonomy. Especially, the weakening of Korean journalists’ long-held collective resistance to editorial interference along with the failure of their massive strikes has resulted in their feelings of demoralization, powerlessness, and fear of being disadvantaged, thereby affecting their occupational moral judgment.

▼ This dissertation is concerned with the impact online news readers comments have on the role of journalists and the implication it carries in shifting private sentiments onto a public space. Online news readers comments have recently grown in popularity and journalists across the United States are divided on how best to host this new public space. Drawing perspectives from new forms of journalism, sociological studies in race and gender, critical race and feminist studies, this dissertation focuses on a) the challenges of news organizations as hosts of this new public space and b) the racist and sexist discourse generated by audiences of certain online news stories. This dissertation employs a multi-method research design that combines a large scale survey of journalists in the United States, in-depth interviews with journalists, content analysis and a discourse analysis of online news readers comments from five selected news stories with strong race and/or gender elements in order to 1) gain journalists’ perspectives in this new electronic landscape and 2) examine the content of the comments that pose the most challenges to journalists in terms of hosting this space. The survey and interviews revealed how journalists are divided in wanting to serve their public by providing a space for dialogue but yet refusing to host hate. Faced with this challenge within the new electronic landscape, a majority of journalists are left on their own to determine how best to handle this new public space with hardly any guidance or support from news managers. The analysis of the comments showed that the articulations of race and gender in the discourse were not erratic expressions of a minority but instead repertories of racism and sexism that mirrored the string of findings from race and gender scholars. This dissertation finds that online news readers comments section have emerged as the space for unconstrained expressions to flourish without the constraints of political correctness and within the safe confines of anonymity.

▼ A review of the literature on paradigm development within academic fields revealed that researchers have drawn distinctions between disciplines with greater paradigm development (discussed as discipline-wide consensus) and disciplines with lesser paradigm development. Several of these investigations centered on paradigm development and evaluative criteria used by academic journal editors for judging scholarly work. The purpose of this study was to ascertain Speech Communication journal editors' opinions of paradigm development within their field. A two-part survey was developed and mailed to eleven editors of the major Speech Communication journals. Data generated from the survey were analyzed using a descriptive methodology. Part A of the questionnaire was a partial replication of Beyer's (1978) research concerning journal editors from ten major journals in four disciplines: Physics and Chemistry (greater paradigm-developed fields), and Sociology and Political Science (lesser paradigm developed fields). Degree of paradigm development within Speech Communication was examined through journal editor policies and practices concerning: difficulty in arriving at decisions for accepting or rejecting a manuscript, article length, manuscript revision, and length of time between manuscript submission and publication. The mean, range, and mode statistics were used to derive editorial practices within Speech Communication. Mean scores from four fields investigated by Beyer (1978) were then descriptively compared to mean scores from Speech Communication in order to see where Speech Communication fit on the continuum of greater to lesser paradigm development. Part B of the survey was initially tested through a Pilot Study administered to five faculty members in the Department of Speech Communication, Portland State University. They were asked to "act as if they were editors of a major Speech Communication journal" for the purposes of completing the questionnaire. Respondents were requested to answer several open-ended questions related to their views of paradigm development in the field and to comment as to whether or not they believed paradigm was an indicator of discipline maturity. Data were content analyzed. Responses to the Pilot Study assisted in the conceptual refinement and placement of questions in Part B. Part A and Part B were then combined in the Survey of Editors questionnaire and administered to eleven Speech Communication editors-in-chief. All of the editors completed and returned the survey. The results of the study showed that while Speech Communication journal editors believe there are paradigms operating within the discipline, they indicated a concern that paradigm development could preclude the maintenance of an eclectic perspective. Therefore, they do not think that paradigm is a sign of discipline maturity. In addition, the editors expressed a desire to improve the quality of scholarship within the field but that some kind of organizing principle is needed to facilitate this improvement. Finally, based on… Advisors/Committee Members: Larry A. Steward.
