The operational actualization of this in theory and practice exemplifies a paradigm of news and other editorial contents reporting slant that pays more attention to dramatizing events and incidents, at best exacerbating, psychologically, panic, apprehension, and tension, but hardly focusing on solution to critical situation in society. However, journalism may not always be about the curses; it could be about cures, particularly in regard to climate change/global warming issues in developing economies like Africa＇s. Hence, the thrust of this paper is a strong advocacy for curative journalism that should issue from a well fed body of science-based information on how to adapt to the menace of global warming palaver in developing nations of the world, especially Nigeria. It advances that new media scientific journalism that could benefit society should do more of probing solution rather than concentrate on the throes： the former acting as an anti-depressant journalism instead of a hopeless journalism.展开更多

Equitable representation by women in the political arena is viewed as crucial in the improvement of women＇s participation in the decision-making process. Nevertheless, though women have made and make great contributions in both the private and public spheres, a review of media＇s coverage of women in the public realm shows a strong tendency to relegate women to mainly domestic affairs. This is consistent with findings from studies on women political candidates＇ image during campaign issues that showed that though women candidates attempted to present themselves in decisive and assertive ways, gender stereotyping was dominant in the media agenda and persistent biases typical of traditional gender representations in the media prevailed. There is very little research in Malaysia on how the media frames women candidates during campaign periods, or what issues are aligned with women candidates. The construction of images of women political candidates, in particular, is often omitted in most research on the General Election. This study analyses how women candidates were covered in selected Malaysian newspapers in the 2008 General Election. The types of issues women political candidates are identified with in the newspapers are also analysed.展开更多
