This is achieved by analyzing the data, or in the current research, analyzing the news items as 'text' (consisting of both verbal and visual images) (Deacon et al. These constructed meanings embedded in news items can reveal how dominant representations in SABC are 3 and e-TV's news items can construct a dominant worldview (Wodak et al, 1999: 8) Finally, others represent the news items that cannot be classified in the previous transnational news.
This is evident in the analysis of news sources from both SABC 3 and e-TV in the categories of foreign (includes 'Foreign' and 'Local in Foreign' news) and regional (includes 'Regional and 'Local in Regional' news in). This 'glocal' aspect is analyzed in the beginning of SABC 3 and e-TV bulletins (form) and news item story types (content). In contrast, foreign news dominates general news for e-TV, with 60% of foreign news items in this section (45 percentage points more than the 15% in main news).
18 For SABC 3, five news items (article and 29) on 'local to foreign' are 'glocal' defining the relationship between South Africa - represented by Thabo Mbeki (president of South Africa) - and a global organisation, the UN , where the action takes place on a global level in a global location (UN headquarters, New York City). Also the broadcast time allocated to local and foreign news in the bulletins shows a boundary value between local and foreign news on both SABC 3 and e-TV. As both SABC 3 and e-TV are national broadcasters, it is useful to analyze how the impact of globalization is a factor in mediating 'bonds' (Ree, 1996) or 'affiliations' (Held, 2002) with others outside the nation in news articles.
Both SABC 3 and e-TV news topics related to security and governance represent a dominant factor in the selection of 'foreign' news. The inclusion of dramatic news events is explained by the relationship between negative news and good news in the selection of 'foreign' and 'regional' news. To understand the functioning of civil society in news articles requires the analysis of dominant actors in the news (state and non-state), using the news value of elite persons (Galtung and Ruge, 1965), as well as the involvement of elite organizations. (Boyd-Barrett, 2000), national to global, in all foreign news.
The next candidate for the representation of national organizations in news reports is a combination between national and global organizations as elite sources, characterized as 33%. As mentioned earlier, because fewer regional news items were recorded by SABC 3 and e-TV in the three weeks analyzed, this makes a comparison with 'foreign' story types difficult. In all news items for both SABC 3 and e-TV, there is talk of an unbalanced civil society at national and global levels.
The mediation of the global perspective can be interpreted by analyzing the content of foreign news that illustrates transnational news. Civil society is mostly represented at the national and international levels of governance in the news, although again there are news stories for SABC 3 and e-TV that highlight aspects of global governance. Moderate cosmopolitan perspectives are present in news content by analyzing how news locations are mentioned in news by SABC 3 and e-TV.
In comparison, SABC 3 has more 'regional' news items and 'foreign in local' and 'local in foreign' news than e-TV.

APPENDIX h: SABC 3, NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR CRISIS (WEEK 2)
TV Thursday 12 October 2006 NO STORY
North Korea says any more threats by the west or its neighbors would be seen as a declaration of war. Since then, the UN Security Council has been urged to impose sanctions and North Korea's neighbors are strengthening their defenses. The US and Britain are sending their war toys to Japan in what they say is a countermeasure against any North Korean threat.
Nervous Japan has mistaken an earthquake off its coast for a second North Korean nuclear test. But weapons experts warn against hysteria that says North Korea is still a very small fish in a very big nuclear pond. If North Korea does have a nuclear arsenal, it is relatively small compared to the arsenals of other countries.
As diplomatic efforts continue to spread the crisis in Japan, protesters clash with police demanding that the US not stockpile weapons on their soil. Newscaster: In international news, world powers are moving closer to imposing sanctions on North Korea. Japan has already confirmed that it will continue with the sanctions and has ordered North Korean ships to leave the coast before midnight.
The Japanese sanctions include trade and travel bans, imports and visits by North Korean officials. But with the US putting pressure on the Security Council to make a decision, it appears the UN is moving closer to imposing sanctions on North Korea. We are certainly very much in favor of keeping all diplomatic channels open, but we also want swift action and we cannot allow meetings and more meetings and more meetings to be an excuse for inaction.
