UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Understanding the role of media in the lives of consumers has been a longstanding concern of various scholars. Although the news media do not tell consumers what to think explicitly, they do imply what consumers should think, via the contexts in which news is presented.

Transitioning College Media From Print Focused Business Models To Digitally Focused Business Models, Celina Oseguera
Journalism
The noticeable downturn in print advertising indicates a need for change in the news industry business model. College media is not immune to this decline and need for change.

Taking into account the state of print focused business models in the general and collegiate news …

Freelancers On The Frontline: Influences On Conflict Coverage, Denae Lynn D'Arcy
Doctoral Dissertations
Some journalists who cover conflict in countries like Syria, Ukraine, and Egypt work as freelancers. As opposed to full-time staff members of media organizations, freelancers pay for their own travel, security, drivers, and insurance. While this model of conflict coverage is financially beneficial for media organizations, freelancers indicate that they work for themselves in order to have “freedom” to make their own decisions about conflict coverage. The researcher studied the phenomena of freelance journalism in conflict scenarios through an exploratory study utilizing long interviews, an interpretative, textual analysis of war correspondents’ autobiographies, an online, open-ended questionnaire, and follow-up in-depth interviews …

Second, it considers how the program, and others like it, operate outside the realm of traditional news media and are, consequently, not subject to expectations of objectivity, potentially allowing for greater critique of powerful political, economic and media entities. Finally, the role of news in …

Faculty Publications
The emergence of online news offers journalists the opportunity to use a variety of formats to present news, including traditional text and video forms and emerging multimedia forms.
