Purpose / values / priorities 16:09 Nov 9, 2010
Trying to look at this from a different perspective, I wondered how I'd rephrase it so I was using the verb νοηματοδοτώ instead. Triandafyllidhs defines νοηματοδοτώ as «δίνω νόημα σε κτ., συνήθ. στη σημ. I2», and the I2 definition of νόημα as «ο τελικός σκοπός, η σημασία και η αξία μιας ενέργειας, μιας διαδικασίας, ενός φαινομένου». That could be translated as "purpose, importance and value". In this case, who is giving "purpose, importance and value" to whom or to what? Could the author be referring to the way that the news editor gives relative value to eg domestic vs international news, politics vs celebrity news, financial vs environmental news etc??? I think this would make sense in the context, as the type of 'news' the broadcaster choses to concentrate on is, indeed, something very flexible.
