Community radio in Ireland: building community, participation and multi-flow communication

Community radio in Ireland: building community, participation and multi-flow communication
(2003)
Day, Rosemary
Abstract:
The core aims of community radio stations foreground the principle of participation by the people in the communication process. Community radio stations broadcast to build the communities which they serve. Six Irish community radio stations are studied to examine the implementation of these aims. The study asks how community radio stations • try to build the communities in which they broadcast? • promote multi-flow communication? • facilitate participation? Three main frameworks are employed in the analysis of the research. The ideal construct of community is understood to be formed on the four bases of place, relationship, time and belief. Enzensberger’s dichotomy of repressive and emancipatory media is built upon to examine how multi-flow communication can be facilitated. A hierarchical model which identifies seven possible levels of participation in media is employed. The key finding of the study is that it is the facilitation of participation which enables community radio stat...

Crisis elections and the primacy of policy: explaining media framing of election coverage
(2012)
O'Malley, Eoin; Brandenburg, Heinz; Flynn, Roddy; McMenamin, Iain; Rafter, Kevin
Abstract:
Media coverage of elections in Europe and North America has increasingly tended to focus on the horse-race and the campaign as a game rather than the policy debate pertinent to the election. This is often explained by the changes in media pressures. It may also make sense given the narrowing of policy space between left and right and the comparative prosperity enjoyed in Europe and North America. But the relevance of politics varies. The economic crisis in the west might have led to an increased interest in policy among voters and focus on it by media. Ireland experienced both extremes of boom and crisis between the late 1990s and 2011. The Irish case allows us use a quasi-experimental approach to test the impact of crisis on media framing of elections. This article uses original data from Ireland’s last three elections, and with a design that shows when other pertinent variables are held constant, we find empirical support for the theoretical expectation that the context of the ele...

Cronin-Sheehan Interviews 2001-2002
(2002)
Sheehan, Helena
Abstract:
These interviews with Jeremy Cronin MP, which took place in 2001 at University of Cape Town and in 2002 in the South African Parliament were much discussed in the mass media and at political meetings and cited in academic texts. They were originally published on my DCU website, which has since been re-organised. I am depositing them here, because it is important that they be accessible for the historical record.

Culture, trade and cultural trade: citizens' communication rights in a global market

O'Sullivan, NoelleAnne
Culture, trade and cultural trade: citizens' communication rights in a global market
(2003)
O'Sullivan, NoelleAnne
Abstract:
This thesis addresses the concepts of rights and freedoms of citizens to cultural expression and democratic information in political and economic communities. It directly engages with the problematic of defending citizens' rights to communication as a cultural right and a social right. These arguments are founded in a fear of cultural imperialism, a defence of national cultures and an advocacy of cultural diversity within a “European culture”. This author is confident that the notion of culture, and cultural objectives will be challenged repeatedly at every round of World Trade Organisation negotiations. This thesis takes the view that the annexation of audiovisual products and services is therefore a temporary solution. This thesis prefers to address broadcasting policy and audiovisual services policy from a trade and human rights perspective. It argues that an awareness of human rights in 18lh century Ireland developed firstly as a by-product of trade with America within the...

Cybercortical warfare: Hizbollah's internet strategy
(2005)
Conway, Maura
Abstract:
The major focus of this chapter is the way in which Hizbollah have wielded the Internet as a weapon in their information war. As will be demonstrated, the group’s collection of Web sites is targeted not at Lebanese or Palestinian audiences, but at the Israeli population and global publics. For this reason, the chapter represents a case study of the possibilities of the new technology, discussed and defined by this chapter as ‘cybercortical warfare’.

Dallas with balls: televized sport, soap opera and male and female pleasures
(1993)
O'Connor, Barbara; Boyle, Raymond
Abstract:
Two of the most popular of television genres, soap opera and sports coverage have been very much differentiated along gender lines in terms of their audiences. Soap opera has been regarded very much as a 'gynocentric' genre with a large female viewing audience while the audiences for television sport have been predominantly male. Gender differentiation between the genres has had implications for the popular image of each. Soap opera has been perceived as inferior; as mere fantasy and escapism for women while television sports has been perceived as a legitimate, even edifying experience for men. In this article the authors challenge the view that soap opera and television sport are radically different and argue that they are, in fact, very similar in a number of significant ways. They suggest that both genres invoke similar structures of feeling and sensibility in their respective audiences and that television sport is a 'male soap opera'. They consider the ways ...

Devils and angels: the ideological construction of poverty stories on RTE television
(1996)
Devereux, Eoin
Abstract:
This thesis investigates how Radio Telelis Eireann (RTE) constructs television stories about poverty. Using a combination of critical content analysis and an ethnography of the production context of television programmes, the study examines poverty stories on factual, fictional and fund-raising television. The study begins with an account of how existing social science discourse has considered the phenomenon of poverty in the Republic of Ireland. It proceeds to examine the limited amount of debate about media coverage of poverty. The case for a largely qualitative methodological approach is then outlined. The main part of the study is an analysis of how poverty stories are constructed on RTE’s Six-One News, Tuesday File, Glenroe and the People in Need Telethon. Each of these four chapters consider the respective programmes in terms of their history, production context, the content of their poverty coverage, as well as a consideration of the ideology of that coverage. The study adopt...

Dialogic Science and Democracy: the Case of Nanotechnology
(2013)
Murphy, Padraig
Abstract:
How do we mean ‘democratic’ and ‘dialogic’ when referring to something supposedly universal such as science? This chapter will look at nanotechnology in an Irish context drawing from current thinking in science communication and science studies, particularly ideas concerning public engagement and public participation in science governance. The specific approach used here extends the concept of engagement to include how publics might interact and potentially shape the discourses, and indeed even the 'products', of emerging science. I will address two key areas: first, a separation between a strategic science and a constructed ‘public’ where public participation might happen, on the one hand operating as a one-way communication process but now increasingly dialogic, yet on the other hand also increasingly the context for strategic vision for Ireland in a global economy. We are in the era of technoscience, application-driven science with extraordinary epistemological posit...

Documentary realism and fundamentalist religion in Ireland: a case study of power in the blood together with The Rocky Road to Dublin and The Road to God Knows Where
(2009)
Brereton, Pat
Abstract:
Introduction: According to many critics documentary helps to interpret history and promote human understanding while dramatising and bending reality. In general it does not draw conclusions, but rather consists of statements and assertions so that conclusions can be drawn. All the ‘creative’ documentaries discussed in this paper attempt to address the power and influence of religion in Ireland and to encourage audiences to reflect on such issues using a range of conventional strategies from direct address to cinema verite techniques, drawing upon the powerful influence of Robert Flaherty's poetic exposé of Man of Aran from the 1930s, together with more recent documentary techniques using more dialogical and reflexive formats. Peter Lennon, John T. Davis and Alan Gilsenan's documentaries under discussion in this paper present a relatively raw yet somber aesthetic, combining many of these techniques in their varying attempts to understand and appreciate the historical power ...

Does the Internet Fundamentally Change Anything?: European Research and the COST A20 Action on the Impact of the Internet on Mass Media (Television, Newspapers and Radio)
(2005)
O'Neill, Brian
Abstract:
The subject of this paper represents one attempt at a more balanced approach and consists of the research undertaken under the COST A20 action, ‘The Impact of the Internet on Mass Media’. The paper presents a brief overview of some of the principal themes under discussion in relation to radio, television and newspapers as well as offering some reflections on the emerging issues for communications research at a cross media level. The central theme is whether there the Internet (with a capital ‘I’) has had the transformative effect its proponents might once have claimed or whether there has been a somewhat different process of incorporation of the net (with a small ‘n’).

Dropping the Captain: the short but eventful editorship of Louis McRedmond at the Irish Independent, 1968-70.
(2014)
Horgan, John
Abstract:
RECENT EVENTS BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER the publication of Lord Justice Leveson’s Report into regulatory aspects of the newspaper industry in Britain have tended to concentrate on ethical and professional issues as manifested in the practices of a substantial number of British national papers. Of less immediate concern – but, it could be argued, of some significance in the longer term – has been the relationship between proprietors and editors. It can reasonably be suggested that because the issues surrounding journalism practice are at least as cultural as they are legal or regulatory, and because culture within organisations flows down from the top rather than seeps up from the bottom, these relationships are deserving of further study than they have received to date. In the specific British context, the role of the effective proprietor of the News International group of newspapers has been evident in two sharply contrasting ways: in Mr Murdoch’s doughty, if behind-the-scenes, defence...

Free to Air: An examination of the role played by a radio phone-in programme, Liveline, in the democratic process
(2011)
Byrne, Frank
Abstract:
The radio phone-in, Liveline, attracts a daily listenership of over 400,000. The topics aired in the programme regularly feature in the newspapers on subsequent days or they become the subject of parliamentary questions in the Dáil or of reactions by government ministers. The programme is seen to offer a place for 'ordinary' voices and opinions in a mass media setting which is usually the preserve of broadcasting professionals, politicians, journalists and expert commentators. In this thesis I examine how Liveline functions in Irish democracy - as a source of information, as a popular platform and as an agent for debate. While it may be shown to be successful in some or all of these areas, it is at the same time a media product where the immediate goals are to interest and entertain the audience and thereby to attract advertising revenue. In order to address that tension between the civic and the commercial I firstly explore those fields of theory that shed light ...

Game of frames: the competition to establish the dominant framing of climate change among journalists, ministers and political advisors
(2018)
Robbins, David
Abstract:
This research is concerned with the competition between various actors – journalists, government ministers and their advisors – to establish the dominant framing of climate change during a particularly eventful period of Irish political history, during which the Green Party was in government and Ireland underwent a dramatic financial crisis. Three levels of analysis are presented: a content analysis to determine levels and trends in media attention for climate change; a frame analysis to uncover journalistic framings, and analysis of interviews with environmental journalists, government ministers and media advisors. The findings of these analyses are then discussed in relation to the dynamics of framing and theories of agenda systems. The explanatory power of the mediated issue development model proposed by Nisbet and Huge (2006) is also assessed in relation to Ireland’s media coverage of climate change. Ireland’s media coverage of climate change is framed in predominantly political...

Healing the trauma of rape and sexual abuse (second report)
(1995)
Rape Crisis Centre.
Abstract:
Since the last RCC report was published the nation has been made tragically aware of sexual violence in our community, particularly as it affects defenceless children. The revelations of such criminal acts at all levels of society have been hard to bear, particularly in the case of those in authority, both civil and spiritual, who grievously abused their trust. As a result of the wide publicity given to these damaging experiences some action has been taken, but too much still remains to be done. In the meantime, as both the Government and the public at large come to a full acceptance of the tragedy existing in our midst, the services provided by the RCC for victims of rape and sexual assault and adult victims of child sexual abuse - both female and male - are being availed of as never before.

Healing the trauma of rape and sexual abuse.

Healing the trauma of rape and sexual abuse.
(1998)
Dublin Rape Crisis Centre
Abstract:
It is now almost impossible to open any issue of a national newspaper without being confronted with reports of rape or sexual abuse, recording in detail the exposure of a trauma which may have remained hidden for decades. Most people would probably assent to the view that this widespread exposure of crimes which have for so long been hidden represents a significant social advance. But there is a real danger that this new departure of publicising the previously un publishable may induce an unspoken acceptance of rape and sexual crime as just another distasteful aspect of our society that we have to learn to live with. Rape is no longer a novelty, something of a front-page news value. There are the particularly notorious cases, of course, which are still singled out for such treatment, but from the situation of almost total secrecy and hypocrisy which existed when the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre (DRCC) first began its work almost 20 years ago the wheel has come full circle. And there is...
