“…Accordingly, news actors embrace a personal positioning, highlighting their recognizable personas, exclusive knowledge (Blom et al 2021 ; Hamo 2015 ), and superior prediction capabilities. This type of rhetoric was common in both commentary texts and tweets, especially when produced by veteran male columnists (e.g., Thomas Friedman, Paul Krugman, Nahum Barnea; for an examination of gender and news discourse see: Tenenboim-Weinblatt and Baden 2021 ). Stressing their authority, commentators and hosts inserted their beliefs into their prospective analysis.…”

This paper explores trust-building strategies in future-oriented news discourse, marked by a high degree of uncertainty. While current research mainly focuses on audiences’ perceptions of news credibility, this study addresses news trust from a production standpoint. We examine the trust-building efforts of media actors, focusing on their discursive labor within the context of election projections. Drawing on rich data from five election rounds in Israel and the US, we qualitatively analyzed 400 news texts and 400 tweets that were produced by 20 US and 20 Israeli media actors. This textual analysis was supplemented by 10 in-depth interviews with Israeli journalists. Our findings demonstrate three types of journalistic trust-building rhetoric in election coverage: facticity, authority, and transparency. These strategies result in a two-fold form of trust, which re-affirms traditional notions of accuracy and validity, while also challenging the ability of newspersons to obtain them in contemporary political and media cultures. Overall, these strategies hold unique opportunities and challenges for sustaining public trust in journalism and illuminate the complex communicative labor involved in building trust with news audiences. Our findings also highlight the importance of studying trust not only in relation to the past and the present, but also in future-oriented discourse.

This research is a part of a study that focuses on the communication between refugees and hosts in Pekanbaru city, Indonesia. 'Refugee' is a status to refer to people who are forced to leave their home countries because of war, violence, conflict, or persecution to survive in neighboring countries or countries directed by the UNHCR. Indonesia is one of the transit countries that take care of refugees before they relocated to third-world countries. There are 13 pointed cities to manage the refugees by the government, and one is Pekanbaru City. The waiting time for resettlement can be indefinite for refugees which mean in these circumstances they will form a social life as a form of social functioning. Thus, this study takes a look at that particular point. Exploring their interaction when communicating with the host by using observation and interviews in a phenomenological approach. This research found that between hosts and refugees communication patterns form gender patterns. This study also reports on the factors that might influence the formation of these gender-based communication patterns that occur in the research area and how is it shaping their topic conversation. The result organically according to the situation on the site instead of reposting from a journal existed. The finding will show the sustainability of refugees' life in Indonesia and complement its participation in maintaining world peace as enshrined in the 1945 Constitution.

“…Each entity is operationalized by a list of common, indicative keywords (including spelling variants) in each language, disambiguated based on their context, totaling more than 90,000 more or less complex search strings per language. The dictionary was repeatedly validated and improved until it achieved precision and recall scores well in excess of .75 in each language (see Baden & Stalpouskaya, 2015;Tenenboim-Weinblatt & Baden, 2021 for more detail). As the dictionary uses structural features of the documents (e.g., word distances, syntactic structure) for concept identification and disambiguation, 8 the dictionary was applied to the unprocessed text.…”

The goal of this paper is to evaluate two methods for the topic modeling of multilingual document collections: (1) machine translation (MT), and (2) the coding of semantic concepts using a multilingual dictionary (MD) prior to topic modeling. We empirically assess the consequences of these approaches based on both a quantitative comparison of models and a qualitative validation of each method's potentials and weaknesses. Our case study uses two text collections (of tweets and news articles) in three languages (English, Hebrew, Arabic), covering the ongoing local conflicts between Israeli authorities, settlers, and Palestinian Bedouins in the West Bank. We find that both methods produce a large share of equivalent topics, especially in the context of fairly homogenous news discourse, yet show limited but systematic differences when applied to highly heterogenous social media discourse. While the MD model delivers a more nuanced picture of conflict-related topics, it misses several more peripheral topics, especially those unrelated to the dictionary's focus, which are picked up by the MT model. Our study is a first step toward instrument validation, indicating that both methods yield valid, comparable results, while method-specific differences remain.
