“…Thus, the salience of Pacific Island ethnicities within news media reporting of crime helps create powerful negative associations that contribute to the creation of simplistic stereotypes of Pacific people. For, as Jhally and Hall (1997) argue, 'what we know about the world is how we see it represented ' (p. 20). Hence, what we see in news media regarding Pacific people and South Auckland becomes what we know about them, to a point where 'whenever you see those people [emphasis added], you will assume that they have those characteristics [emphasis added]' (Jhally & Hall, 1997, p. 19).…”

“…This kind of coverage can influence racist attitudes towards Māori and Pacific people for, as Hook (2009) states, 'there is a perception held by the general public that Māori and Pacific Islanders are responsible for most of the crimes perpetrated on the streets of New Zealand ' (p. 3). Use of racial profiling and ethnic tagging works by describing and defining a group of people, to the point that particular images of these groups will result in fixed definitions of who they are (Loto et al, 2006Jhally & Hall, 1997. The linking of certain ethnicities with crime and violence is a manifestation of the power the news media has to name and frame minority groups (Couldry, 2000; Figure 4: Ethnic tagging in the text of articles Gabriel, 1998;Loto et al, 2006;Spoonley & Trlin, 2004).…”

Abstract:Research worldwide finds that indigenous, non-white, immigrant and other marginalised communities are subjected to media coverage that negatively and narrowly stereotypes them in comparison to dominant racial groups. In this article, we explore media representations of a predominantly Pacific and lower socio-economic community in New Zealand. The results contribute to the literature regarding media coverage of minority communities through an analysis of 388 news articles, drawing on Freire's (1996Freire's ( /1970 theory of antidialogical action to consider how power is used to marginalise the predominantly Pacific community of South Auckland. The results demonstrate that South Aucklanders are subjected to stereotypes and negative labelling that reinforce their marginalisation and exclusion from mainstream New Zealand culture.

“…The Canadian national context, the nature of Canadian multiculturalism, and the folkloric importance of a regional sense of belonging articulated in the show, however, remain instrumental points of online debate on the topics of identity, separatism, and inequality. As argued by Giroux (1994) and Hall (1990Hall ( , 1997, we could attest that Canadian Idol is not able to exert complete control over how viewers make sense of their represented identity on the show. However, it should be noted that the Canadian Idol message board provided a space for viewers to discuss the tensions between their regional and national identities articulated on this show.…”

This paper focuses on the 2006 season of the reality television show Canadian Idol and the manufacturing of Canadian identity. Our analysis looks specifically at the way Canadian identity was articulated in the production of the show, the comments of the judges to contestants, the comments in news releases, and the viewers' discussions on the message board accompanying the show. We argue that the show produces a version of Canadian identity that sustains a logic of regional difference, with a key point of distinction between urban and nonurban Canadians. However, we also indicate that this representation is ruptured by the viewers' debates on their feelings of Canadian identity.Keywords: Articulation; Canadian identities; Canadian Idol; Regionalism, nationalism, globalism; Representation; Viewer response Résumé : Cet article porte sur la saison 2006 de l'émission réalité Canadian Idol et la fabrication de l'identité canadienne. Notre analyse porte spécifiquement sur la manière dont l'identité canadienne s'articule dans la réalisation de l'émission, les commentaires des juges sur les participants, les commentaires dans les communiqués de presse, et les discussions sur les babillards électroniques menées par les amateurs de l'émission. Nous soutenons que Canadian Idol produit une version de l'identité canadienne qui perpétue une logique de différences régionales, y compris un élément clé portant sur la dichotomie urbaine/rurale. Nous ajoutons cependant que les spectateurs, dans leurs débats sur leurs propres sentiments d'identité canadienne, mettent en question une telle représentation.
People are exposed to various media. After the Digital Revolution, quantitative expansion of the media is at a rapid pace. Because of the expansion of the media, advertising needs efforts that induce the audiences' reaction. Rhetorical devices are used as the efforts. This study noted the visual paradox of rhetorical devices because it is an effective representation device that induced audiences' reaction by deliberate contradiction and ambiguity. This study has defined the visual paradox based on define and classification of paradox in logic. This study also tried to reveal the relationship between images and text for signification by metalanguage because it is important to the visual paradox in advertising. And analyzed cases of Volkswagen ads to prove the research process. Finally identified that images and text interact to create a new meaning.■ keyword :|Paradox|Metalanguage|Image|Text|
