| dc.description.abstract | In their claim as agents of change CSO’s produce newsworthy actions. The thesis studies their representation in three Amarigna newspapers over the entire election year 1997 (2005 G.C.). The paucity of material on the issue has led me to rely more on theoretical sources (social responsibility theory, normative theory, agenda-setting theory) and, by the same token, on experiences that diverge from the Ethiopian. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used. The data gathered by the usual sampling techniques and semi structured and unstructured interviews are analyzed with regard to type of articles, attribution, tone, themes. The findings are that portrayals depend on the domain of activity: rather favourable in the socio-economic domain, less so in the political. My concluding remarks evoke the question of self-image that a certain type of representation seems to have entailed. | en_US |
