Managerial and Economic Factors Affecting Science Journalism in Qatar
This article uses the Hierarchy of Influences model (Shoemaker and Reese 1996; 2014) to analyze results of a 2021-2022 study of science journalism in Qatar. The study extends the HoI model by incorporating the role of corresponding and contradictory interests when assessing findings across the five levels of the model. Empirical data were collected in semi-structured interviews with 15 Qatar-based journalists and editors. The findings clarify per…
News coverage of scientific discoveries in Qatar
The study analyzes 429 news articles from six local newspapers and interviews with 15 journalists and editors to assess the state of local science journalism in Qatar. Despite significant investments in scientific infrastructure, local science news has not kept pace, with most stories sourced from foreign agencies and lacking contextual relevance. This is due to a science-unfriendly news culture where local science is not seen as newsworthy for t…

Bali's tourism industry, the New Order's village electrification program, the construction a national television net…

Wiring the New Order
While Indonesia’s New Order government frequently claimed that its motivation for rural electrification was the improvement of villagers’ welfare, the motivation was also political. It sought to convince villagers to vote for GOLKAR in the general elections. In addition, President Soeharto used electrification inauguration ceremonies to create a sense of Indonesia as a rapidly developing society with himself at the helm directing the country’s de…
