Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comparative volume provides a comprehensive cross-national account of media coverage and public attitudes toward migration both within and into the European Union. Using empirical research from across Germany, Hunary, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, Media and Public Attitudes Toward Migration in Europe offers an in-depth exploration of one of the most prominent social and political topics of the decade in Europe. Drawing on a large scale, cross-national panel survey, experiments, and media content analysis of migration discourse in both traditional news media and social media, expert contributors from across the continent investigate topics such as the linguistic features of migration coverage, the public perception of migrants, and the effects of journalistic communication strategies. Other topics addressed include a discussion of news framing effects on migration coverage and politicians’ postings on social media coverage about the issue. This is a valuable resource for academics, students, and policymakers interested in media coverage of migration, news framing effects, and public attitudes to migration generally. .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elections are the means by which democratic nations determine their leaders, and communication in the context of elections has the potential to shape people's beliefs, attitudes, and actions. Thus, electoral persuasion is one of the most important political processes in any nation that regularly holds elections. Moreover, electoral persuasion encompasses not only what happens in an election but also what happens before and after, involving candidates, parties, interest groups, the media, and the voters themselves. This volume surveys the vast political science literature on this subject, emphasizing contemporary research and topics and encouraging cross-fertilization among research strands. A global roster of authors provides a broad examination of electoral persuasion, with international perspectives complementing deep coverage of U.S. politics. Major areas of coverage include: general models of political persuasion; persuasion by parties, candidates, and outside groups; media influence; interpersonal influence; electoral persuasion across contexts; and empirical methodologies for understanding electoral persuasion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What emerges from this study is a greatly complicated and enriched picture of the roles journalists play in our ever more complex, media-saturated world. The first chapter shows that the terms World Wide Web, symbolic interaction, social construction of meaning, and convergence of meaning name current American social, psychological, epistomological and political movements that revolve around the interactive construction process of knowledge rather than the one-way delivery that characterizes traditional journalism. The middle chapters discuss research where nearly 200 reporters and news consumers were surveyed. The final chapter presents conclusions about the attitudes of journalists and their audiences.

Download or read book Discourse Analysis and Media Attitudes written by Paul Baker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the British press prejudiced against Muslims? In what ways can prejudice be explicit or subtle? This book uses a detailed analysis of over 140 million words of newspaper articles on Muslims and Islam, combining corpus linguistics and discourse analysis methods to produce an objective picture of media attitudes. The authors analyse representations around frequently cited topics such as Muslim women who wear the veil and 'hate preachers'. The analysis is self-reflexive and multidisciplinary, incorporating research on journalistic practices, readership patterns and attitude surveys to answer questions which include: what do journalists mean when they use phrases like 'devout Muslim' and how did the 9/11 and 7/7 attacks affect press reporting? This is a stimulating and unique book for those working in fields of discourse analysis and corpus linguistics, while clear explanations of linguistic terminology make it valuable to those in the fields of politics, media studies, journalism and Islamic studies.

Coverage of the current coronavirus outbreak has consumed much of the news media’s attention as Americans look for information in a time of high anxiety and uncertainty. Overall, more Americans hold positive than negative views of the news media’s coverage of the COVID-19 crisis, though broader views of the media are more evenly divided or more negative.

Download or read book How News Media Influences Readers Attitudes Toward the United States written by Jacob Andrew Kursinskis and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite American news media warnings of a rising Chinese nationalism reaching back decades, new research suggests that Chinese nationalism is not rising, thus it appears there is only a perception that Chinese nationalism is rising. Americans are becoming increasingly aware of the effects of news media coverage, and since U.S-China relations have been moving towards more confrontational, this research examines the effects that the so-called nationalist Global Times coverage has on readers’ attitudes toward the United States compared to the more reserved and more “official” People’s Daily. This study took initial reporting and commentaries from the Global Times and People’s Daily on the same issues and had participants read one of the eight articles before taking a survey measuring their opinions toward five aspects of the United States. This study also included a control group who only took the opinion survey. The study found, among other things, that participants who read the Global Times’s reporting on political and economic matters generally expressed more negative opinions toward even unrelated aspects of the United States such as its society and people than did participants who read People’s Daily or were part of the control group that did not read a news article. This study’s findings, coupled with a better understanding of Global Times’ role in the Chinese media system, can help American academics and policymakers better contextualize Chinese media reporting on the United States and develop more appropriate responses.

Download or read book Why Americans Hate the Media and How It Matters written by Jonathan M. Ladd and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-05 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As recently as the early 1970s, the news media was one of the most respected institutions in the United States. Yet by the 1990s, this trust had all but evaporated. Why has confidence in the press declined so dramatically over the past 40 years? And has this change shaped the public's political behavior? This book examines waning public trust in the institutional news media within the context of the American political system and looks at how this lack of confidence has altered the ways people acquire political information and form electoral preferences. Jonathan Ladd argues that in the 1950s, '60s, and early '70s, competition in American party politics and the media industry reached historic lows. When competition later intensified in both of these realms, the public's distrust of the institutional media grew, leading the public to resist the mainstream press's information about policy outcomes and turn toward alternative partisan media outlets. As a result, public beliefs and voting behavior are now increasingly shaped by partisan predispositions. Ladd contends that it is not realistic or desirable to suppress party and media competition to the levels of the mid-twentieth century; rather, in the contemporary media environment, new ways to augment the public's knowledgeability and responsiveness must be explored. Drawing on historical evidence, experiments, and public opinion surveys, this book shows that in a world of endless news sources, citizens' trust in institutional media is more important than ever before.

Download or read book African Americans Attitudes Toward Civic Journalism written by Ebony Reed and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newspapers have tried to use civic journalism to recapture readers and improve news coverage. Civic journalism has been defined as a "reform of professional norms with the aim of putting the public at the center of political coverage, not politicians, their handlers and other elites" (Loomis, 2002, 4). Proponents of civic journalism say it can improve news coverage of groups that media outlets sometimes ignore. But does civic journalism really improve news coverage of a smaller, often ignored segment of America--African Americans? This study, which interviewed 20 African Americans in Cleveland and Columbus Ohio, found that participants tended to like strong characters and personal stories in newspaper articles, which is a characteristic of civic journalism. More than half of participants saw value in polls, which are also often used in civic journalism projects. However, participants were split on whether The Plain Dealer and Columbus Dispatch do good jobs when covering the black community.

Download or read book Citizen based Reporting written by John Leonard Morris and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public journalism movement and debate of the 1990s has raised the question of whether journalists can objectively report the news and interact with the audience at the same time. Several parallel movements in America have made this a practical epistemological question rather than a purely rhetorical one. They are the popular rise of the Internet, the public's preoccupation with interactivity, the social construction of meaning philosophical movement and the convergence of mass media. After reviewing the literature on these topics, this dissertation focuses on the following research questions: (1) What are the attitudes of reporters toward interaction? (2) What are the attitudes of news consumers toward interaction? (3) What are the news values of each group? (4) Are there any significant demographic attributes of the groups? Q Methodology, intensity rating scales and a demographic survey are combined in an attempt to answer these questions in a centrally located U.S. city with a wide variety of news media. The results of this research describe and compare four types of reporters, four types of news consumers and three types of communicators in the Denver Metro Area. The reporter types are Objective Egalitarians, Independent Existentialists, Experimental Reformers and Solution Facilitators. The consumer types are Information Users, Consensus Builders, Activist Reformers and Problem Solvers. The communicator types, which include reporters and consumers, are Objective Reformers, Solution Finders and Independent Participants. Finally, the results are interpreted in light of the literature reviews of previous research, and directions for future research in the effects of audience analysis on the quality of news writing are suggested.
