Download or read book What s the News A Study of Senior Citizens Television written by Jonathan Lloyd and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The desire to be entertained or informed, the driving forces of routine or habit, the need for companionship and the alleviation of loneliness- nearly all people can relate to experiencing one or another of these motivations for media consumption at some point. Inspired by the expansion of television news programming and growth in the number of US citizens living well beyond the age of 65, this study qualitatively explores what uses and gratifications seniors get from Television news. The questions within the study concern seniors' television news programming choices, what uses and gratifications they get from the programs that they choose, and what their program choices say about how they define television news. The results of this study reveal a range of uses and gratifications associated with seniors' consumption of news programming. Particularly valuable to TV journalists, this study has implications for the future of all media as populations age and technology advances. There is also opportunity for Communication researchers to explore and challenge these results in subsequent studies.

Download or read book Crime and Local Television News written by Jeremy H. Lipschultz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers an analysis of crime coverage on local television, exploring the nature of local television news and the ongoing appeal of crime stories. Drawing on the perspectives of media studies, psychology, sociology, and criminology, authors Jeremy H. Lipschultz and Michael L. Hilt focus on live local television coverage of crime and examine its irresistibility to viewers and its impact on society's perceptions of itself. They place local television news in its theoretical and historical contexts, and consider it through the lens of legal, ethical, racial, aging, and technological concerns. In its comprehensive examination of how local television newsrooms around the country address coverage of crime, this compelling work discusses such controversial issues as the use of crime coverage to build ratings, and considers new models for reform of local TV newscasts. The volume includes national survey data from news managers and content analyses from late night newscasts in a range of markets, and integrates the theory and practice of local television news into the discussion. Lipschultz and Hilt also project the future of local television news and predict the impact of social and technological changes on news. As a provocative look at the factors and forces shaping local news and crime coverage, Crime and Local Television News makes an important contribution to the discussions taking place in broadcast journalism, mass communication, media and society, and theory and research courses. It will also interest all who consider the impact of local news content and coverage.
Download or read book Mature Audiences written by Karen E. Riggs and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mature Audiences, Karen Riggs challenges traditional ideas about older viewers as passive, vulnerable audiences for television. She tells the stories of seventy elder Americans who have worked television into their lives in specific and practical ways. In particular, Riggs studies older women fans of Murder, She Wrote, the impact of news and public affairs programming in an affluent retirement community, the efforts of several older African Americans to produce and telecast their own public-access shows, and the role of television in the daily lives of minority elders, including gays, American Indians, and immigrants from Russia and Laos. Although television's own images of the elderly are nearly nonexistent or frequently negative, this collection of interviews provides a portrait of viewers who are often deliberate, thoughtful, and seasoned in their responses to questions about the role of television in their daily lives.

Download or read book Television and the Quality of Life written by Robert Kubey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employing a unique research methodology that enables people to report on their normal activities as they occur, the authors examine how people actually use and experience television -- and how television viewing both contributes to and detracts from the quality of everyday life. Studied within the natural context of everyday living, and drawing comparisons between television viewing and a variety of other daily activities and leisure pursuits, this unusual book explores whether television is a boon or a detriment to family life; how people feel and think before, during, and after television viewing; what causes television habits to develop; and what causes heavy viewing -- and what heavy viewing causes -- in the short and long term. Television and the Quality of Life also compares the viewing experience cross-nationally using samples from the United States, Italy, Canada, and Germany -- and then interprets the findings within a broad theoretical and historical framework that considers how information use and daily activity contribute to individual, familial, societal, and cultural development.
