A Press Divided Newspaper Coverage of the Civil War

A Press Divided Newspaper Coverage of the Civil War

Now in paperback A Press Divided provides new insights regarding the sharp political divisions that existed among the newspapers of the Civil War era. These newspapers were divided between North and South - and also divided within the North and South. These divisions reflected and exacerbated the conflicts in political thought that caused the Civil War and the political and ideological battles within the Union and the Confederacy about how to pursue the war. In the North dissenting voices alarmed the Lincoln administration to such a degree that draconian measures were taken to suppress dissenting newspapers and editors while in the South the Confederate government held to its fundamental belief in freedom of speech and was more tolerant of political attacks in the press. This volume consists of eighteen chapters on subjects including newspaper coverage of the rise of Lincoln press reports on George Armstrong Custer Confederate women war correspondents Civil War photojournalists newspaper coverage of the Emancipation Proclamation and the suppression of the dissident press. This book tells the story of a divided press before and during the Civil War discussing the roles played by newspapers in splitting the nation newspaper coverage of the war and the responses by the Union and Confederate administrations to press criticism. | A Press Divided Newspaper Coverage of the Civil War

Machine Learning in Translation

Machine Learning in Translation

Machine Learning in Translation introduces machine learning (ML) theories and technologies that are most relevant to translation processes approaching the topic from a human perspective and emphasizing that ML and ML-driven technologies are tools for humans. Providing an exploration of the common ground between human and machine learning and of the nature of translation that leverages this new dimension this book helps linguists translators and localizers better find their added value in a ML-driven translation environment. Part One explores how humans and machines approach the problem of translation in their own particular ways in terms of word embeddings chunking of larger meaning units and prediction in translation based upon the broader context. Part Two introduces key tasks including machine translation translation quality assessment and quality estimation and other Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks in translation. Part Three focuses on the role of data in both human and machine learning processes. It proposes that a translator’s unique value lies in the capability to create manage and leverage language data in different ML tasks in the translation process. It outlines new knowledge and skills that need to be incorporated into traditional translation education in the machine learning era. The book concludes with a discussion of human-centered machine learning in translation stressing the need to empower translators with ML knowledge through communication with ML users developers and programmers and with opportunities for continuous learning. This accessible guide is designed for current and future users of ML technologies in localization workflows including students on courses in translation and localization language technology and related areas. It supports the professional development of translation practitioners so that they can fully utilize ML technologies and design their own human-centered ML-driven translation workflows and NLP tasks.

Science Time and Space in the Late Nineteenth-Century Periodical Press Movable Types

Science Time and Space in the Late Nineteenth-Century Periodical Press Movable Types

James Mussell reads nineteenth-century scientific debates in light of recent theoretical discussions of scientific writing to propose a new methodology for understanding the periodical press in terms of its movements in time and space. That there is no disjunction between text and object is already recognized in science studies Mussell argues; however this principle should also be extended to our understanding of print culture within its cultural context. He provides historical accounts of scientific controversy documents references to time and space in the periodical press and follows magazines and journals as they circulate through society to shed new light on the dissemination and distribution of periodicals authorship and textual authority and the role of mediation in material culture. Well-known writers like H. G. Wells and Arthur Conan Doyle are discovered in new contexts while other authors publishers editors and scientists are discussed for the first time. Mussell is persuasive in showing how his methodology increases our understanding of the process of transformation and translation that underpins the production of print and informs current debates about the status of digital publication and the preservation of archival material in electronic forms. Adding to the book's usefulness are an extended bibliography and a discussion of recent debates regarding digital publication. | Science Time and Space in the Late Nineteenth-Century Periodical Press Movable Types

The Humanitarian Machine Reflections from Practice

The Humanitarian Machine Reflections from Practice

As the world reels from the impact of a global pandemic and increasing intensity of climate-caused hazards the humanitarian sector has never been more relevant. But providing aid to those affected by disasters and crises is more complex than ever. In The Humanitarian Machine aid workers reflect on their own experiences of working in crisis. As they write about their work and the ways in which they each approach the challenges of helping people they comment on some of the most vexing issues facing the humanitarian sector. Each speaks from their own perspective asking tough questions sharing thoughtful reflections about their ongoing work and unpacking what it really means to be a humanitarian worker. The stories they tell whether recounting a specific experience or reflecting on years of practice reveal the dilemmas they face and demystify the overly romanticized aura that sometimes surrounds humanitarian practice. Complementing the candid accounts that humanitarian leaders contribute in this book the editors examine how their stories perceptions and understandings align with similar conversations that take place in other settings. Viewed together in this way the insights and reflections provided in this book will be invaluable for humanitarian practitioners students and researchers alike. | The Humanitarian Machine Reflections from Practice

After the War The Press in a Changing America 1865–1900

After the War presents a panoramic view of social political and economic change in post-Civil War America by examining its journalism from coverage of politics and Reconstruction to sensational reporting and images of the American people. The changes in America during this time were so dramatic that they transformed the social structure of the country and the nature of journalism. By the 1870s and 1880s new kinds of daily newspapers had developed. New Journalism eventually gave rise to Yellow Journalism resulting in big-city newspapers that were increasingly sensationalistic entertaining and designed to attract everyone. The images of the nation’s people as seen through journalistic eyes from coverage of immigrants to stories about African American Black fiends and Native American savages tell a vibrant story that will engage scholars and students of history journalism and media studies. | After the War The Press in a Changing America 1865–1900

Climate Change Politics and the Press in Ireland

Climate Change Politics and the Press in Ireland

Media coverage of climate change has attracted much scholarly attention because the extent of such coverage has an agenda-setting effect and because the ways in which the coverage is framed can influence public perception of and engagement with the issue. However certain gaps in our understanding of the processes whereby such coverage is produced remain. The competition among strategic actors to influence media framing strategies is poorly understood and the perspectives of journalists and editors are largely absent from literature. With a view to advancing our understanding of the frame competition around climate change and to presenting the perspectives of journalists regarding climate change as a journalistic topic this book presents an in-depth case history of media coverage of climate change in Ireland. First the extent of media attention for climate change is established and the way in which such coverage is framed is also examined. Through a series of interviews including rare and privileged access to government ministers their media advisors and journalists and editors the book uncovers the contest to establish a dominant framing. The main objective of this book is to advance our understanding of the contest to establish the dominant framing of climate change in the media discourse. Although focussed on Ireland its conclusions are of value to those seeking to better understand the dynamics of media coverage of climate change in other contexts. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change environmental policy media and communication studies and Irish politics. | Climate Change Politics and the Press in Ireland

Edward Lloyd and His World Popular Fiction Politics and the Press in Victorian Britain

Edward Lloyd and His World Popular Fiction Politics and the Press in Victorian Britain

The publisher Edward Lloyd (1815-1890) helped shape Victorian popular culture in ways that have left a legacy that lasts right up to today. He was a major pioneer of both popular fiction and journalism but has never received extended scholarly investigation until now. Lloyd shaped the modern popular press: Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper became the first paper to sell over a million copies. Along with publishing songs and broadsides Lloyd dominated the fiction market in the early Victorian period issuing Gothic stories such as Varney the Vampire (1845-7) and other 'penny dreadfuls' which became bestsellers. Lloyd's publications introduced the enduring figure of Sweeney Todd whilst his authors penned plagiarisms of Dickens's novels such as Oliver Twiss (1838-9). Many readers in the early Victorian period may have been as likely to have encountered the author of Pickwick in a Lloyd-published plagiarism as in the pages of the original author. This book makes us rethink the early reception of Dickens. In this interdisciplinary collection leading scholars explore the world of Edward Lloyd and his stable of writers such as Thomas Peckett Prest and James Malcolm Rymer. The Lloyd brand shaped popular taste in the age of Dickens and the Chartists. Edward Lloyd and his World fills a major gap in the histories of popular fiction and journalism whilst developing links with Victorian politics theatre and music. | Edward Lloyd and His World Popular Fiction Politics and the Press in Victorian Britain

The Fair Reader An Extra Review Of Press And Politics In The '90s

Why did major news outlets virtually ignore the only cost-effective plan for universal health care coverage—even though polls showed the plan had majority support? Why did leading journalists go out of their way to attack Bill Clinton’s rivals in the 1992 Democratic primary—while focusing unprecedented attention on Clinton’s personal life? Why do establishment media consider falling unemployment to be bad news? In the tradition of I. F. Stone and George Seldes the contributors to The FAIR Reader probe the often mysterious connections between press and politics in the 1990s. The essays are filled with startling information about the critical issues of our time—from the Gulf War and the Clarence Thomas hearings to the debates over health care reform and NAFTA—documenting the deceptive one-sided mainstream reporting that leaves the public in the dark. Particular attention is paid to the election of 1992 and the Clinton administration showing how the media promoted undercut and finally shaped Clinton to fit a media agenda the book demonstrates that systematic media bias poses a threat to the democratic process and the free flow of information to the U. S. citizenry. FAIR founded in 1986 is the national media watch group dedicated to the principle that independent aggressive and critical media are essential to an informed democracy. In the nine years since FAIR was launched it has gained national recognition for its well-documented studies of media bias its challenge to powerful media figures like Rush Limbaugh and its award-winning journal of media criticism and politics Extra!. The FAIR Reader collects Extra!’s most incisive reporting on journalism and politics in the ‘90s.
