{"title":"Framing the Philpotts: anti welfarism and the British newspaper reporting of the Derby house fire verdict","authors":"S. Harper","doi":"10.1386/MACP.10.1.83_1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1386/MACP.10.1.83_1","url":null,"abstract":"This article analyses the newspaper reporting of the Mick Philpott manslaughter verdict of 2013. Philpott is an unemployed British man who in May 2012 set fire to his house, accidentally killing six children. This article argues that the Philpott verdict provided a valuable propaganda opportunity for British politicians and elements of the British media to link the crime to ‘welfare reform’ at a time when the coalition government had begun to target welfare benefits for cuts. In particular, it is argued that the demonization of Philpott as a member of the white British underclass converged with an intensification of conservative and anti-welfarist arguments about the United Kingdom’s benefits system, reviving and reinforcing the Victorian concept of the ‘undeserving poor’ and the related notion that benefits are a reward for good behaviour rather than a right. Examining articles from national newspapers published in the days following the announcement of a guilty verdict in the trial, this article analyses the discursive framing of the stories in order to discover what kind of ideological messages were at work in the reporting of the Philpott verdict and what sorts of differences existed between these messages. The article concludes with an attempt to set this analysis in a wider socio-political context, considering how the press’s perspectives on the story relate to the ideological (re)framing of public discussion about welfare ‘benefits’ and claimants in the United Kingdom today.","PeriodicalId":306936,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116993191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on research with staff involved in the production of content for BBC television and radio, this article explores the occupational context in which they work. In particular, it focuses on the experiences and strategies of the BBC’s Department of Religion and Ethics as it attempts to secure its survival as an autonomous production unit. This group of executives, producers, presenters and production staff are in many ways unique because of the professional and social role that they fulfil, most notably through the close historical and ideological ties between religion and the principles of public service. This research finds a distinct professional identity built around a fusion of public service logic and commercialism, along with the mobilization of specialist knowledge. This allows the department to symbolically and discursively separate itself from other actors in this field as it attempts to reinforce religious broadcasting’s professional distinctiveness at a crucial time in the survival of the unit and to highlight the uniqueness of religion as a topic within cultural production.","PeriodicalId":306936,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114519106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The ‘terrorism’ frame in ‘neo-Orientalism’: Western news and the Sunni–Shia Muslim sectarian relations after 9/11","authors":"Aziz Douai, S. Lauricella","doi":"10.1386/MACP.10.1.7_1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1386/MACP.10.1.7_1","url":null,"abstract":"Sunni–Shia relations have become a topic of significant media attention; this attention is largely due to the tendency of these groups to engage in sectarian strife as well as the Islamic Shia sect’s influential rise in world politics. The inter-Islamic sectarian relations are part of extensive reporting on upheaval events currently taking place in the Greater Middle East in the post 9/11 decade. This study analyses ten years of news coverage of the Sunni–Shia relations in the Canadian Globe and Mail and the US-based Washington Post. Results indicate that rather than contextualizing sectarian tensions between Sunni and Shia Islam, this media coverage overwhelmingly frames the tensions from the ‘war on terrorism’ perspective. This article argues that ‘neo-Orientalist’ discourses and propagandist perspectives have become routinized and more prevalent in the manner in which Western media represents Islam, privileging dominant discourses and ‘war on terrorism’ frames. MCP_10.1_Douai_Lauricella_7-24.indd 7 6/3/14 11:55:00 AM Aziz Douai | Sharon Lauricella 8 The post-9/11 ‘war on terrorism’ has directly led to Western media’s greater attention to Muslim countries, issues related to religious extremism and radicalization and, more generally, the salience of Islam and Muslims in international news coverage (e.g. Karim 2003; Palmer 2003; Tumber and Palmer 2004; Richardson 2004; Artz and Kamalipour 2005; Saeed 2007). The salience of Sunni–Shia relations in Western media’s coverage of Islam and terrorism is part of this extensive reporting on the Greater Middle East. For media professionals and reporters of international news, a host of reasons warrant such increased media scrutiny of Sunni–Shia relations and the Sunni–Shia ‘divide’ in Islam (Nasr 2006), not least due to the threat of ‘terrorism’ and al-Qaeda (Schwartz 2002). On the one hand, Sunni Islam has become inextricably embroiled in the debate about how Saudi Arabia’s Wahhabi tradition instigates extremism (Delong-bas 2004). The fact that al-Qaeda emerged out of Wahhabi Islam’s teachings, with its leader Osama Bin Laden born into the tradition, further cemented Sunni Islam’s supposed relationship to terrorism (Schwartz 2002). For international media organizations, highlighting the apparent rift between the Sunni and Shia Islamic teachings could provide a way of gauging the underpinnings of religious extremism. On the other hand, Sunni–Shia relations have become a hot topic of media coverage in large part due to these groups’ potential to engage in sectarian strife, but also because of the Shia sect’s influential rise in world politics (Nasr 2006). In addition to the evident geopolitical importance of the Khomeini-led Shiite Iran in the region, the US invasion of Iraq and the subsequent overthrow of Saddam’s Baathist regime shifted the balance of power in Iraq as its Shiite majority has become more vocal and the country’s de facto governing regime. While violence raged in Iraq, particularly in the ye","PeriodicalId":306936,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126618854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
