“…For instance, journalists quote police spokespeople in crime stories due to their institutional credibility and access to exclusive information. As sources, though, they present a different perspective than do crime victims or relatives of an alleged perpetrator (Perry, 2020). Journalistic sourcing options vary by source access (Berkowitz, 1992).…”

Public relations professionals engineer acceptability for policy, such as child immigrant detention, through key messages. Agenda building, engineered frames, and rules theories guide study of spokesperson attributions from 221 articles from January 2017 to October 2019. Findings show attributions to U.S. government spokespersons appeared most in stories. Journalist inquiries were declined at times by spokespersons citing legal and privacy arguments. While all spokespersons addressed the vulnerability of detained children, government spokespersons framed adult immigrant criminality as causing children harm. Opinion polls show government efforts to present child detention as a law-and-order issue appears to clash with cultural rules that value child well-being.

“…A useful tool for analyzing Hanson’s speech is the formula developed by Perry and Len-Ríos (2015), which measures excellence in media stories by their context, complexity, voices, authenticity and proportionality. Context provides the background of dates, locations, history, social contexts and culture so that audiences understand the issues and their connection with the larger world.…”

“…The voices that are included must be authentic; they must go beyond superficial answers and share experiences that reveal the truth of their personal values and knowledge. The stories that result should be like a map in which all demographics and issues are represented with proportionality; journalists, like cartographers, cannot create an accurate, comprehensive map if their rendering excludes some areas or has exaggerated the size of some areas against others (Perry & Len-Ríos, 2015, pp. 6–10).…”

“…All but one of these six references was a brief, passing mention. Even when dealing with politicians, journalists selected people to speak based on formal job descriptions and status markers of authority, rather than what Perry and Len-Ríos (2015, p. 8) call the authenticity of their voices in representing community perspectives.…”

Asserting Journalistic Autonomy in the ‘Post-truth’ Era of ‘Alternative Facts’: Lessons from Reporting on the Orations of a Populist Leader

A current challenge for journalists is how to report on post-truth political discourse in an era when the statements of populist leaders are increasingly characterized by emotionalism, out-of-context use of verifiable facts, euphemisms and double speak. A case study of the much-reported maiden speech by populist leader Pauline Hanson to the Australian Senate in 2016 is used to identify trends and patterns in stories that resulted from her oration. The case study findings were used to distil nine recommendations for journalists about how to research and report on statements by high-profile political and opinion leaders who peddle suspected alternative facts and post-truth logic. The findings indicate a need for journalists to reassert their autonomy over storytelling agendas through decoding post-truth discourse to identify underlying news issues, then applying rigour in certain fundamentals of fact checking, information sourcing, framing and backgrounding of stories. The case study findings have international relevance because the politics and media-management strategies of Hanson and her One Nation party replicate those of populist opinion leaders in the United States, United Kingdom and many other countries.

Examining the Conceptual and Procedural Knowledge of Decimal Numbers in Sixth-Grade Elementary School Students

<p style="text-align:justify">In this article, we present the results of empirical research using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodology, in which we examined the achievements and difficulties of sixth-grade Slovenian primary school students in decimal numbers at the conceptual and procedural knowledge level. The achievements of the students (N = 100) showed that they statistically significantly (z = -7,53, p < .001) better mastered procedural knowledge (M = 0.60, SD = 0.22) than conceptual knowledge (M = 0.37, SD = 0.17) of decimal numbers. Difficulties are related to both procedural and conceptual knowledge, but significantly more students have difficulties at the level of conceptual knowledge. At the level of procedural knowledge, or in the execution of arithmetic operations with decimal numbers, we observed difficulties in transforming text notation into numerical expressions, difficulties in placing the decimal point in multiplication and division, and insufficient automation of mathematical operations with decimal numbers. At the level of conceptual knowledge of decimal numbers, the results indicate difficulties for students in understanding the place values of decimal numbers, in estimating the sum, product and quotient of decimals with reflection and in mathematical justification. In relation to difficulties in justification, we observed an insufficient understanding of the size relationship between decimal numbers and difficulties in expressing them in mathematical language. The results indicate that to overcome such difficulties in the learning and teaching of mathematics, more balance between procedural and conceptual knowledge is needed.</p>
