Media Influence Research Papers - Academia.edu (original) (raw)

El propósito fundamental de esta investigación era demostrar si existía una correlación entre el consumo de noticias o contenidos periodísticos por internet, la influencia del medio -basada en su credibilidad -y la calidad de la información que provee. Con tal propósito, basados en la literatura científica sobre estos tres temas, fue diseñada una encuesta con 90 items, la cual fue sometida a revisión de expertos y piloteada con 40 estudiantes de Comunicación. A partir del envío de 103.650 correos electrónicos durante el mes de septiembre de 2010 se logró convocar un total de 344 personas que contestaron. Los resultados revelan que el posicionamiento de un medio en su versión electrónica está supeditado al posicionamiento que tiene en su versión tradicional (impresa o audiovisual) y que los hábitos de consumo, adquiridos en edades tempranas, influyen en la escogencia del medio, independientemente de la calidad que se perciba sobre el mismo.

In the complex operations of the Indian media economy, the phrase 'media markets' requires careful consideration as an analytical concept. As a noun, 'media markets' is typically used to refer to a spread of media businesses and/or consumer sectors. Closer examination reveals that there tend to be multiple markets operating simultaneously within any media business (for products, capital, labour, audience, etc.). This implies an 'economy of markets', transacting both across media formats and with markets situated outside of the media production process. Both 'media exchanges' and 'mediated exchanges' shape the dynamics of the interlocking markets that constitute the Indian media economy. Thus, at the categorical level, we ask several questions: What are the boundaries of media markets? Who are the key actors? How are these transactional relationships valued? With these questions in mind, this article seeks to identify points of distinction in form and geography along with critical relationships between overlapping markets and underlying interests. We propose a topology of Indian media markets, organised via three levels, with treatment of each taking into consideration the synergistic character of media markets and how interdependency shapes functional norms, rules of exchange, and the embedding of media transactions.

Many theorists refer to the "digital revolution" when they refer to social media and new media technologies. Internet use can also aid journalists in the mainstream media to improve their traditional reporting in terms of speed and feedback. However media practitioners should also recognize the negative consequences and ethical implications of these new media platforms, as the sources distributing information on social media sites such as Twitter may not be truthful and accurate. Journalists should be aware that these sites can be used by enemies of the state to distribute false information. The purpose of this article will be to investigate whether the South African media is at risk of being used as a tool for information warfare. The paper adopts an argumentative analytical approach on case studies with the intention to sensitize journalists to the possibility that different forces may try and exploit their weaknesses in order to influence social opinion with potentially destabilizing effects. In conclusion the paper ends with an overview of some challenges the mainstream broadcast media have to overcome to prevent being used as weapons by the enemies of the state.

Very little known is about how speakers learn about and/or respond to speech experienced without the possibility for interaction. This paper reports an experiment which considers the effects of two kinds of exposure to speech (interactive or non-interactive mediated) on Scottish English speakers' responses to another accent (Southern British English), for two processing tasks, phonological awareness and speech production. Only marginal group effects are found according to exposure type. The main findings show a difference between subjects according to exposure type before exposure, and individual shifts in responses to speech according to exposure type.

Social media has become an integral part of many people's lives around the world. The main use of this communication channel is to connect with social circles. It is also widely used for commercial and business purposes. Governments are also keen to use social media as an alternative to the traditional communication channels. Nonetheless, when the level of use of social media in the government is compared to other fields, a clear gap becomes apparent. This chapter investigates the adoption of social media as a communication channel between citizens, public agencies and government departments; and considers a wide range of factors that affect the issue from the perspective of public agencies. This chapter presents an extensive literature review and proposes a framework that organises the critical factors that affect public agencies' efforts while implementing social media. We also provide a list of hypotheses to validate and evaluate the significance of these factors.

This paper investigates how British and American newspaper coverage of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution framed the protest movement that led to the resignation of Hosni Mubarak as the President of Egypt. Previous studies examining Western media coverage of domestic protests indicate that news media often covered movements and protesters with the expectation of violence occurring, or whose motivations, aspirations, and actions were trivialised and marginalised, while Western media coverage of the Middle East and North Africa often contextualised the region's nations, peoples, and politics in ways that promoted negative stereotypes. In analysing British and American newspaper coverage of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, this paper demonstrates the opposite to be true through a content and framing analysis of relevant news stories (n=611). Results from British and American newspaper samples offer strong evidence for not only reassessing the dominance of the reportorial paradigms by which the news media covers political and social dissent, but also normative Western media portrayals of the nations and people within Middle East and North Africa.

Combination of image, sound and language given to inform, seduce, disinform, educate, deceive or enlighten the audience, spectators, viewers, followers is young technology in addressing to the masses, but at the same time, it is deeply rooted in human mechanisms of getting knowledge, feelings, memories. And, it works. That is why all media, especially global maistream media, by its behaviour may be taken responsible among the others, for destructions of different kinds and on different levels.

Political TV dramas have become increasingly popular with audiences as a source of entertainment after the 2016 presidential election, particularly programs depicting the functions of the executive branch of government (CenturyLink, 2017). This research investigates how political TV dramas, as compared to network news coverage of U.S. foreign policy events, influence the perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs of U.S. audience viewers. Using agenda-setting as the theoretical frame, this study employs a quantitative experimental design in order to measure participants' preand post-attitudes on two variables; perceived issue familiarity and perceived issue importance of U.S. foreign policy events and U.S. diplomacy tactics. Participants additionally reported the perceived source credibility towards media formats. Materials and measures received approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Voluntary participants were recruited from introductory communication and political science classes from a Midwest university. Participants viewed one episode of the political TV drama, Madam Secretary, as well as a news story covering a similar, real life event. The presentations were systematically rotated to avoid ordering effects and a control group was included for research integrity. A survey instrument was used to gather the data related to the hypothesis and research questions advanced in the study. The findings report how audience attitudes are impacted by dramatic depictions of U.S. foreign policy events compared to nightly network news. Limitations, discussion, and future directions will be addressed.

This paper reports on a research project which examined media coverage and audience perceptions of stem cells and stem cell research in Hungary, using focus groups and a media analysis. A background study was also conducted on the Hungarian legal, social and political situation linked to stem cell research, treatment and storage. Our data shows how stem cell research/treatments were framed by the focus group members in terms of medical results/cures and human interest stories -mirroring the dominant frames utilized by the Hungarian press. The spontaneous discourse on stem cells in the groups involved a non-political and non-controversial understanding -also echoing the dominant presentation of the media. Comparing our results with those of a UK study, we found that although there are some similarities, UK and Hungarian focus group participants framed the issue of stem cell research differently in many respects -and these differences often echoed the divergences of the media coverage in the two countries. We conclude by arguing against approaches which attribute only negligible influence to the media -especially in the case of complex scientific topics and when the dominant information source for the public is the media.

On November 5th, 2009, the Polish Parliament passed an amendment to the Penal Code, introducing a new preventive measure against pedophilia perpetrators, commonly known as chemical castration. The amended Article 95a, section 1a of the Penal Code concerns, among others, a mandatory referral of the perpetrator of rape of a minor under the age of 15 to outpatient treatment or placement in a closed institution, where they will undergo pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment aimed at reducing sex drive. The amendment has been widely criticized by professionals; doctors, sexologists, and criminologists, who underlined ineffectiveness and possible adverse health consequences of the so-called chemical castration, not to mention how its mandatory nature violates the basic rights of the individual. Nevertheless, this law has an extremely large popular support: according to a Millward Brown SMG / KRC survey lab, 79% of Poles approved of the amendment. It is also worth noting that the ...
