*Inclusive journalism: How to shed light on voices traditionally left 
out in news coverage*

This note introduces the concept of inclusive journalism in a bid to 
encourage a critical dialogue of the press’s ability to challenge 
hegemonic notions of inequality under the rubric of social diversity. 
Over the last century journalism’s authority in fast processing of 
information has moved from the privileged position of reporting life to 
the more privileged position of reporting life that matters. Its 
capacity to separate individual lives from the life of society has 
enabled it to turn persons into representative of the groups. By forming 
and un-forming groups and by constructing a sense of who we are in 
relation to others, the journalistic sector of the media participates in 
the larger process of inclusion and exclusion.


*Translation in the newsroom: Losing voices in multilingual newsflows* 
<https://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=24664/>

The information, events and voices that receive media attention are 
highly dependent on their linguistic form – when the language is 
accessible to journalists, the news is more likely to enter public 
discourse. If the voices are in languages other than that of the region 
the journalist is writing for, then translation strategies can influence 
not only the news style but also the selection and perspectivation of 
the information presented. In this article, the authors discuss how 
working between languages inside the newsroom can endanger the flow of 
accurate information. Among other stakeholders, we focus on journalists 
as key gatekeepers in global and local newsflows who need to cope with 
cross-linguistic communication in their processes of news production. 
Initial analyses show that translation matters in the newsroom, but it 
is far from being part of systematic professional socialization or 
subject to quality measures.


*How diverse are Egypt’s media: A look at the post-revolution 
presidential elections* 
<https://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=24666/>

This article examines media diversity and inclusiveness of the coverage 
in Egypt through a content analysis of Egyptian media during the first 
Presidential elections following the 25 January revolution of 2011. 
Diversity is defined as the inclusiveness of different groups in terms 
of race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, age, income-based 
discrimination, gender and any other factors that make individuals or 
groups different from, but equal to, each other. The author used 
quantitative content analysis of four popular state and private 
newspapers and a critical analysis of the main television news bulletin 
and several talk shows. Overall, the coders analysed a total of 5308 
stories that were published on the elections in the four newspapers. 
They also analysed the main news bulletin and three talk shows on state 
and private satellite channels. Analysis started a week before and ended 
a week after each round of the Presidential elections for a total of 32 
monitoring days. The research addressed diversity both in terms of the 
agents featured in the media and the topics mentioned/discussed. The 
results indicate that, even though the journalistic standards were 
sometimes reasonable, coverage ignored important issues of substance and 
all issues related to inclusiveness and diversity as they relate to 
women, children, the elderly, religious minorities and ethnic 
minorities. The study concludes that diversity issues are still largely 
ignored in the Egyptian media.
