“…For the results of the expert's evaluation to be valid, there must be a way to The quality of television news in Indonesia (Vinanda Cinta Cendekia Putri, Alem Febri Sonni) the competence for providing information, not simply limited to facts but also emphasizing public safety in the obtaining and sharing of this information. As McQuail (1989) Media ideology and ideological hegemony are critical concepts in media studies (Hartley, 2002;Wall & Rayner, 2008). Both of these definitions align with the Dijk (2003) view, which suggests that ideology is a social system used in groups and becomes a mental representation in these groups.…”

This research aims to explore the watching patterns of the people of Indonesia with a specific focus on how they consume news programs on television. Indonesian democracy condition is draining much information energy every year. The war for information among broadcasting institutions has stirred worry among the general public regarding the quality of the content broadcast by national television stations. Virtually no medium is safe from the touch of politics, and news programs, in particular, are often highly political. Due to the urgency of this research to measure the quality of programs, not the number of viewers, the informants of this study are industry experts and academics. Their knowledge, experience, and insight into the television industry make them exceptionally qualified to assess television programs' quality critically. The results of the evaluation and deepening of the experts can be concluded by several aspects of the quality of news programs: The intervention of media owners is still evident and even conspicuous in the balance of news in an industry where broadcasting institutions are explicitly manipulating news content, especially when it concerns political issues. Concerning critical power, several news programs fail to arouse a critical rationale. News is delivered from one perspective only. The supervision aspect is still deficient because the shocking and horrible are intrinsically appealing. Subjectiveness in the news is widespread, especially in the selection of titles and narratives that simply justify the reporters' words.

“…Codes are groups of signs all belonging to a precise culture (Nöth, 1995), and here culture must be meant in its widest sense, as the system adopted in a nation, a social behaviour, a religion or simply a group of people. Semiotics has long been seen as a subjective exercise in interpretation, leading to different results according to the interpreter of the analysed signs (Wall et al, 2008). On the contrary, this article assumes that semiotics teaches us 'how meaning is socially produced (not individually created) and subject to power relations and struggles' (O'Sullivan et al, 1994: 282-283).…”

This article analyses magazines and books of Nazi propaganda representing meat in order to demonise the Jews. Nazism adopted controversial policies on meat. On the one hand, it banned vegetarian associations; on the other hand, Hitler and many Nazi officials professed their vegetarianism. Moreover, Nazi Animal Protection Law protected animals from the same tortures that the Nazis inflicted in the concentration camps. The article draws on Bauman’s theory that Nazism may be understood through the opposition purity/impurity, and on Gambrill‘s propaganda studies. Moreover, it is based on Elias’s Civilising Process and on Fullbrook’s ‘uncivilising process’. Finally, it focuses on other studies on Nazism and on ancient myths on animals revived by the Nazis. Qualitative propaganda and semiotic analysis focuses on Jews dealing with producing, selling and eating meat. Magazines and books have been sampled according to maximum variation strategy, and therefore this study focuses on a great variety of propagandistic images and texts. Results show that propaganda targeted the Jewish slaughterers, dealers, butchers and eaters in order to represent them as involved in the uncivilising process. In the end, meat contributed to the representation of the Jew as ‘impure’. Related to this, blood is overrepresented and is often part of a code of violence that depicts the Jew as separate from the rest of the world, as threatening the German civilising process and, again, as impure. Moreover, the symbolic meat eating contributed to the fabrication of the legend of the Jews as human flesh eaters. Finally, propaganda for children conveyed the Nazi criminal message more directly than any other form.

“…Media play an influential and prominent role in societies by selecting news stories they wish to communicate to the public. Wall and Rayner (2007) state that the consumption of media texts allows people to make sense of the world as well as the events happening in it. News organisations have isations in order not only to reflect, but to represent and to shape the world and the events taking place in it according to their fostered beliefs.…”

This article explores how the institutional and ideological practices of news media can impact on translating news articles by focusing on the ideological representations in media discourse. It tests the hypothesis that hidden ideologies in news texts are changed/re-presented in the process of reformulation, taking into account the translation practices followed by news institutions. The study applies a Critical Discourse Analysis model to analyse issues relayed to representing people and events in a range of media texts. To do this, it uses a corpus of 63 news articles collated from Aljazeera and Al-Arabiya websites to identify the textual, ideological, and institutional representations and alterations happening through translation. It shows that it is possible for a news translator to carry out minor or major alterations to a news story under translation for the purpose of ideologically reorienting their message or text-focus.
