“…For that reason, media framing often becomes highly politicized. Roluahpuia (2017) stated that the issue of media bias often arises in issues involving high political stakes: "media has the potential to distort issues or marginalize one issue over the other by under-reporting one perspective over the other" (p. 76).…”

This research explores mainstream and diasporic media coverage and discourses surrounding the Venezuelan economic and political crisis from late March 2017 until early May 2018. A comparative content analysis was applied to a total of 256 news articles, editorials, and stories from the Toronto Star, one of Canada’s largest newspapers, and from La Portada Canadá, a Spanish-language Latin American newspaper in Toronto. The results demonstrated diasporic media’s appropriation of journalistic biases such as human impact, dramatization, and national interests and the reframing of dominant discourses from international news agencies about the Venezuelan crisis. Whereas there are significant similarities between both media’s content regarding the crisis, La Portada Canadá stressed the transnational component of the Venezuelan diaspora through discourses about political and civic engagement in Canada. The Toronto Star focused more on the economic and political components of the crisis, which are closely linked to the country’s national agenda. Keywords: diasporic media, mainstream media, media coverage, media discourses, international crises, humanitarian crisis, Venezuela, Toronto

“…Now and then mass media is seen trapped in difficult circumstances during conflicts and crises. In conflict situations, media is considered to either promote peace process or emphasize conflict, growing tensions between rivalries (Roluahpuia, 2016). This peace-building ability was well used in the reporting of Northern Ireland conflicts by prominent media houses across the globe including BBC, Irish news media, and Ulster electronic media (Rid, 2019;Wolfsfeld, 2001).…”

The current study investigates the framing process through the lens of the causal responsibility and the subject matter adopted by Pakistani print news media during the armed conflicts after the Pulwama assault in February 2019. With the help of the census approach, 282 opinions and editorials were collected from a population of 1,321 published items from six English newspapers. The findings show that Pakistani print media outlets extensively used the individual causal responsibility frame, while the social responsibility frame was used less in numbers. The content analysis reveals that the subject matter of awareness was extensively used in media content during the Pulwama assault and its aftermath. The observations are examined from the perspective of journalistic preferences in selecting specific frames during the framing of regional and global armed conflicts.

“…The imperial provisions and political decisions to keep the 'unruly hills' (Karlsson, 2011) separate from the valley areas have directly contributed to ethnic segregation and strengthened ethnic-territorial attachments. Interestingly, successive post-colonial governments have failed to revise the land law and the 'excluded areas' status of the hills, despite acknowledging its critical role in sustaining ethnic and development tensions in Manipur (Arora, 2013;Jilangamba, 2015;Kamei, 2018;Meetei, 2017;Roluahpuia, 2016;Ziipao, 2016).…”

Roads are bitumen covered concrete metaphors of modernity and development, and they materially represent fantasies, collective hopes, and aspirations of future(s). They symbolize movement, connectivity, transactions and transportation, and eminently reflect governmentality. Our article is about Manipur’s connective infrastructures, and it focuses on internal roads, and a border highway that connects Imphal (Manipur’s capital city) to Dimapur at Nagaland in North-east India. We explain the infrastructural deficit within Manipur and decision-making about them being influenced by a hill-valley socio-ecological ethnic distributional conflict. The road links and is part of the uneven development route. We provide an ethnographic account of a truck journey undertaken between Imphal and Dimapur in 2018, and this enables us to understand routinized corruption and the collusion of state and non-state actors therein. The road is the symbol of hope, and a developmental desire, and epitomizes state’s governmentality and developmental project of progress, nonetheless it also gets transformed into the central locale of political protest, ethnic conflict when ethnic groups appropriate it forcibly to erect blockades and organize protests in its arterial space. The roads and highways spatially produce and reproduce (il)legality, (il)legibility, and (il)legitimacy of the Indian state. Our ethnographic research unpacks and invokes the multivalence of roads.
