30 DE CADA 100 GALEGOS, EN INTERNET
En cuanto a Galicia, los datos son más esperanzadores. Después de que en el año 2005, el nivel de penetración de Internet (usuarios en el último mes) descendiese al 25% de la población, en los últimos meses esta cifra ha repuntado hasta superar el treinta por ciento (30,4%), reduciendo el diferencial con la media española de 9,5 puntos a 6,8. Galicia supera a Castilla-León, y se acerca a los datos de Murcia, Andalucía y La Rioja. Con todo, es evidente que nadia debe darse por satisfecho con esta situación, puesto que Galicia es la 14ª Comunidad Autónoma (de 17) en acceso a Internet.

SdP 92: Máis sobre "Futebol e Comunicação"
Felisbela Lopes
É, sobretudo, através do olhar e do ouvido que acedemos àquilo que a televisão transmite, mas é igualmente no imaginário de cada um que os sentidos e os significados da imagem e do discurso televisivos acontecem. Isto significa que não pode haver nestes dois actos uma contraposição, mas uma continuidade. Concebendo o corpo como o meio que nos situa no mundo, uma espécie de axis mundi, a fenomenologia já havia neutralizado oposições como corpo/alma, físico/psíquico, sensível/inteligível. Concordando com estas teses, a proposta de encarar a pele como o limiar entre o que está fora e o que está dentro, mas também como o lugar que permite o contacto a partir do qual a comunicação se torna possível, reúne, na nossa perspectiva, traços pertinentes para pensar a informação desportiva veiculada pela TV.

Collective memory, the publicly shared meaning of a common past, can structure both news stories and reporters' search for information within the broader context of journalistic practices. It can also provide reporters with an independent perspective, balancing elite-dominated news frames. Following the space shuttle Columbia's crash, journalists turned repeatedly to the ‘lessons' of the accident that claimed the Challenger shuttle 17 years earlier both in formulating questions at NASA briefings and in reporting Columbia's destruction and the subsequent investigation in print. In many instances, journalists' reliance on these memories is entirely implicit in the finished news stories, making Challenger a ghostly presence that led reporters to focus on NASA's inadequacies rather than on the mechanical causes of Columbia's demise.
Key Words: Challenger crash • Columbia crash • collective memory • framing • hegemony • press autonomy • space reporting • typification

What is good journalism? comparing Israeli public and journalists' perspectives Yariv Tsfati

The frequent referencing of service to the public interest as a core professional journalistic value raises the question of the correspondence between the perception of journalists and the public as to what constitutes good and bad journalism. In this study, a sample of Israeli journalists and a sample of the Israeli public were asked a series of questions about the core values and practices of journalism. Results suggest four major conclusions: first, Israeli journalists have a clear, relatively uniform perception of what constitutes worthy journalism. Second, journalists and the public differ in the degrees of significance they assign to various journalistic norms and practices. Third, the public is slightly more positive in its overall assessment of the Israeli media in comparison with the journalists. Finally, the two general assessments are constituted by different, or even opposing, components.
Key Words: Israel • journalistic values • public opinion

Gendered mobility, the nation and the woman's page
exploring the mobile practices of the Canadian lady journalist, 1888–1895
Sandra Gabriele
Carleton University, Canada
This article explores the domestic travel writing of two women journalists who wrote for competing partisan papers in Toronto – Kit Coleman of The Daily Mail and Faith Fenton of The Empire. Using what I refer to as ‘mobile practices', Coleman and Fenton found a middle ground between the conventional regimes of domestic femininity represented in many of the features of their woman's pages, and the emerging conditions of modern travel that allowed women to explore new places. Woman's pages and travel writing allowed the newspaper to contribute to nation-building in a multitude of ways and across a number of sites, such as the family, the city and countryside, Canada's colonial history and women's roles as the moral heads of household. In turn, mobile practices were both strategies for dealing with the emerging conditions of modernity as much as they were instruments for its continuation.
Key Words: Coleman, Kathleen Blake (Kit) • domestic femininity • Freeman, Alice (Faith Fenton) • journalism history • modernity • newspapers • travel writing • women journalists

Newspapers' transition from women's to style pages
what were they thinking?
Dustin Harp
University of Texas at Austin, USA
After nearly a century of publishing explicitly named women's pages, US newspapers starting in 1969 and into the 1970s began renaming them ‘style’ or ‘lifestyle’ sections, theoretically meaning they were for a general audience. This research investigates industry discourse during this time to determine what those in newsrooms were thinking about this transition. Seventy-two articles from three newspaper trade publications from 1969 through 1975 reveal that editors and reporters were most concerned with including serious content in these sections and unconcerned with the names of the sections. In fact the women editors of these style pages, who dominated the discourse, indicated that even after renaming the sections industry insiders thought of them as for and about women. The analysis also revealed that newsroom constraints, particularly those placed on lower level staff by male editors, prevented women editors of these women's/style sections from constructing the pages they desired.
Key Words: feminism • news • US newspapers • women • women's sections • women's pages

Translation, adaptation, globalization
the Vietnam News
Theo van Leeuwen
University of Technology, Sydney, Australia
The Vietnam News is an English language daily newspaper produced on behalf of the Vietnamese Government, as part of its market reform policies. Drawing on an analysis of 100 translations from the Vietnamese press and their rewrites by the paper's foreign sub-editors, as well as on interviews with sub-editors and journalist-translators working at the Vietnam News, the article documents the translation and adaptation decisions that constitute the process of globalizing the discourse of the Vietnamese press in this particular instance. Three kinds of decisions are discussed in turn: translation decisions affecting the English used, translation/adaptation decisions affecting journalistic style, and translation/adaptation decisions affecting cultural and ideological references in the source texts. The article ends by asking whether the Vietnamese press is best served by closely following the Anglo-Australian model, as it does at present, or by developing its own distinct local style.
Key Words: attribution • censorship • journalistic style • leads • localization • nominalization • sub-editing • Vietnamese press

Public journalism
a reply to critics
Tanni Haas
Brooklyn College, USA
Linda Steiner
Rutgers University, USA
This article analyzes and responds to the most significant criticisms of public journalism made by scholars. After discussing public journalism advocates’ alleged failure to define public journalism clearly, we examine more specific criticisms. Among other issues, few advocates have taken seriously the likely impact of commercial imperatives on public journalism's modes of operation. We argue, however, that public journalism projects show that reform-oriented news organizations can challenge long-standing journalistic conventions, despite managements’ interests in maximizing profit. Ultimately, we argue, public journalism's long-term viability depends on continuing, explicit commitment by journalists, its institutionalization within newsrooms and journalism classrooms, and continued theory-development, research, and assessment.
Key Words: citizen participation • civic journalism • journalism theory • public sphere

THE FUTURE OF PAPERS (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
That is a critical question for the investors pondering bids for the two newspapers and Web site.
Will there come a day when readers, advertisers and revenue fleeing the newspapers will be captured by the Web site - in numbers sufficient to sustain the expensive business of covering news, sports, arts and culture in the nation's sixth-largest metropolitan area?
"I think it's safe to say that the consensus in the industry right now is that nobody has figured it out. That's the holy grail," said Ken Doctor, lead analyst with Outsell, a media research company, and a former vice president for the digital arm of Knight Ridder Inc., parent of The Inquirer and the Daily News.
The Wall Street Journal has attracted 771,000 paying customers to its Web site, but virtually every other newspaper publisher has concluded that charging for online access is not worth the revenue it would generate. And revenue from online ads, while growing rapidly, remains a fraction of overall newspaper revenue.
It was in that environment that Knight Ridder agreed in March to be purchased by the McClatchy Co., which plans to sell 12 of Knight Ridder's 32 papers, including the two in Philadelphia.
A partnership of the MediaNews Group Inc., of Denver, and others have agreed to buy four of those papers. The rest are still in play, pursued by MediaNews and other bidders.
Worries about shrinking profit and a cloudy future for newspapers, especially those in large urban markets, precipitated the sale. Some industry analysts wonder whether the worries are justified, especially if the audience and revenue growth of newspapers' online sites are factored in.
About 61 percent of Americans still look primarily to their local daily newspaper for local news, according to Outsell, which polled 2,800 consumers. Only 6 percent turn to such sites as Google, Yahoo and MSN.
John Morton, an independent media analyst, pointed out that ad revenue on many newspaper Web sites had grown 30 percent to 40 percent despite competition from the likes of Craigslist and Monster.com.
"A lot of people don't realize that in almost every market, the second-largest audience is the local newspaper's Web site, and the largest is the newspaper," Morton said.
Just last week, the Audit Bureau of Circulations reported that daily newspaper circulation nationwide fell 1.2 million, to 45.4 million, in the year that ended March 31. Meanwhile, the bureau said, online readership of newspapers grew more than five million, to 56 million.
Philly.com's revenue is growing but remains a small portion of the business. Last year, Philly.com accounted for about $20 million, or 5 percent of total ad revenue for the combined publications. This year, online ad revenue is up more than 30 percent.
Philly.com looks for new ways to attract users, including interactive features, said its general manager, Dennis Wichterman Jr.
"We're constantly growing on this front," he said. The site offers blogs, discussion boards and polls, he said. "We're currently looking at the possibility of photo community publishing as well."
The Daily News in the next several weeks plans to add a crime blog and an online afternoon edition with news on traffic, entertainment and other information, said Frank Burgos, the newspaper's editorial page editor and new media editor.
But he said Philly.com and many other newspaper sites needed to improve in several ways by:
Becoming 24-hour news operations, posting news on Web sites immediately.
Adding blogs and other ways for readers to debate and interact.
Figuring out how to deal with the increasing use of keyword searches, which take people using a search engine to a newspaper Web site only if it ranks high in their search.
Spending money to promote the newspaper and the Web site as the best source for local news, shopping and other information.
"One of the weaknesses we have at the building is not having much of a promotional budget," Burgos said.
Even though many newspaper Web sites have added shopping and other interactive features, competitors have already nabbed many of those opportunities.
"The 'Craigslist Revolution' is also dramatically affecting the purchase of classified ads," according to the Outsell report. Forty-eight percent of the Internet users it surveyed had used Craigslist, eBay, or other online auctions to buy or sell something in the previous 12 months, compared with 10 percent who bought print classified ads to sell.
And while Internet ad sales remain small, they are growing quickly.
Newspaper ad revenue is growing at just 3 percent yearly, according to media-and-communications investment firm Veronis Suhler Stevenson. Internet advertising, however, is expected to grow 25 percent this year.
Trends like that have hit newspaper profits hard.
In the first quarter this year, profit fell 53 percent at Knight Ridder; 20 percent at the New York Times, excluding a onetime gain of $68 million last year on the sale of its headquarters; 11.5 percent at Gannett (owner of USA Today); and 14 percent at McClatchy.
Ken Marlin, managing partner of Marlin & Associates, an investment-banking and consulting firm that focuses on technology and the Internet, said too many newspaper managers were still focused on simply transferring the traditional newspaper to the Web. Instead, he said, they should use the value of their brands to give readers new services.
One possibility: Readers could read a restaurant review, then click on a link that lets them make a reservation. Similar models could be developed for movies, cars and other items, allowing newspapers to charge businesses for the service, he said.
"Most newspapers understand cities very, very well," Marlin said. "They ought to be the best vehicle for people to get access to the city. Most newspapers just don't get it."
Philly.com and other sites do let readers buy movie tickets and other products, but the industry as a whole, critics say, has failed to make consumers think of them first in the same way that coffee drinkers think Starbucks.
Some news organizations, Marlin said, are starting to get it. They are adding audio, more photos and video to their Web sites, as well as information available only on the Web. They also are expanding their brands to non-news sites.
Marlin cited the acquisition of MySpace, a social networking site popular with young people, by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. Similarly, the New York Times Co. acquired About.com, a collection of Web sites on a wide variety of topics, and the Wall Street Journal acquired MarketWatch, a business news site.
Leonard M. Apcar, editor of NYTimes.com, said newspapers would survive both in print and on the Web.
"I think print is a very durable, very viable product, but I think the Web is extremely strong and that readers read the two very differently," he said.
NYTimes.com, for example, had to turn away ads because its pages were full. That sounds like good news, but it also points out a challenge: getting more people to look at more pages on an individual site, which would create more ad space. Internet ads are sold based on the number of page views.
About half the people who visit NYTimes.com are sent to an article from another site and never see the home page, Apcar said. NYTimes.com has redesigned its site to encourage surfing."The goal of the redesign," he said, "was to get people into the article page and hold them longer."

Ignacio Ramonet
La globalización es también la globalización de los medios de comunicación y de información, y estos megagrupos (que los poseen) ya no se plantean como objetivo cívico el de ser un “cuarto poder” para corregir los disfuncionamientos de la democracia y perfeccionar así este sistema político. Ni desean ser un “cuarto poder”, ni tampoco se proponen de actuar como un contra-poder. Podríamos decir que si estos grupos constituyen un eventual “cuarto poder”, sería en el sentido de que ese cuarto poder se une, se añade, se suma a los otros poderes existentes –Legislativo, Ejecutivo y Judicial–, al poder político y al poder económico, para aplastar a su vez, como poder suplementario, al ciudadano.
Por consiguiente, la cuestión cívica que se plantea es: ¿Cómo resistir, reaccionar, cómo oponerse, frente a lo que fue durante mucho tiempo el único poder de los ciudadanos en oposición a los poderes dominantes? ¿Cómo resistir frente a la ofensiva de este nuevo poder que en cierta medida traicionó al ciudadano pasándose al adversario? Pienso que lo que se debería hacer es crear sencillamente un “quinto poder”. Un quinto poder que nos permita oponer una fuerza cívica ciudadana a esa nueva suma, a esa nueva alianza de poderes.
