Download or read book The Cognitive Impact of Television News written by B. Gunter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that, while people around the world consistently nominate television as their most important news source, much of the content of news bulletins is lost to viewers within moments. In response, Barrie Gunter argues that this can be explained by the way in which televised news is written, packaged and presented.
Book Synopsis Cognitive Effects of Breaking News by : William Joe Watson
Download or read book Cognitive Effects of Breaking News written by William Joe Watson and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study tested a model of the process involved when television news viewers are exposed to breaking news. The model posited that media present a breaking news frame, which then influences the cognitive processes of those who see it. Testing the model involved two stages. First, a content analysis of actual breaking news examples identified elements contributing to a breaking news frame. Eight production elements were identified as statistically significant in framing breaking news coverage. Second, those elements were used to create a stimulus for an experiment in which a control group saw an artificial news story presented in a traditional format, and a treatment group saw the same story presented in a breaking news format. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to identify differences between the two groups. Members of the treatment group evaluated breaking news as being more urgent than other stories in a newscast, expressed greater curiosity about breaking news, and evaluated breaking news as having occurred more recently than other stories in a newscast. There was no significant difference between the two groups in their evaluation of the importance of breaking news. In addition, hierarchical regression analysis was used to determine if the frequency of viewing television news, need for orientation, and cognitive involvement explained a person's evaluation of breaking news. Only need for orientation emerged as a significant predictor of curiosity about breaking news. The findings of the study were discussed in relation to their implications for audiences and media production. The content analysis suggested that predictable elements, such as an anchor reading a script and videotape, contributed more to breaking news production than techniques like an anchor ad libbing and live reports, which could indicate the presentation of incoming and developing details. The content analysis also revealed that four production techniques (a breaking news open, a lower-third breaking news banner graphic, an anchor on camera, and a verbal identification of breaking news coverage) worked together most frequently to frame breaking news. Results from the experiment confirmed that viewers exposed to breaking news were primed to evaluate the coverage differently than those who were not exposed to breaking news. An examination of individual characteristics, however, provided little additional insight into the priming process. Finally, limitations of the study and directions for future research were discussed.

Book Synopsis Doing News Framing Analysis II by : Paul D'Angelo
Download or read book Doing News Framing Analysis II written by Paul D'Angelo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents original, ‘big picture’ perspectives on news framing. Each chapter in this volume will feature an individual or team of framing analysts who take a reflective look at their own empirical work. The editors' goals are to identify the influences that determine the use of different theoretical and methodological approaches, and to provide interpretive guides to news framing scholars regarding what news frames are, how they can be observed in news texts, and how framing effects are uncovered and substantiated in cultural, group, and individual sites. Doing News Framing Analysis II will continue the work of its predecessor by giving talented framing scholars the space to write about their work and bring readers closer to the framing research project.

Book Synopsis On Television (Large Print 16pt) by : Pierre Bourdieu
Download or read book On Television (Large Print 16pt) written by Pierre Bourdieu and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-11-12 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Television exposes the invisible mechanisms of manipulation and censorship that determine what appears on the small screen. Bourdieu shows how the ratings game has transformed journalism - and hence politics - and even such seemingly removed fields as law' science' art' and philosophy. Bourdieu had long been concerned with the role of television in cultural and political life when he bypassed the political and commercial control of the television networks and addressed his country's viewers from the television station of the College de France. On Television' which expands on that lecture' not only describes the limiting and distorting effect of television on journalism and the world of ideas' but offers the blueprint for a counterattack.
Book Synopsis The Psychology of Fake News by : Rainer Greifeneder
Download or read book The Psychology of Fake News written by Rainer Greifeneder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the phenomenon of fake news by bringing together leading experts from different fields within psychology and related areas, and explores what has become a prominent feature of public discourse since the first Brexit referendum and the 2016 US election campaign. Dealing with misinformation is important in many areas of daily life, including politics, the marketplace, health communication, journalism, education, and science. In a general climate where facts and misinformation blur, and are intentionally blurred, this book asks what determines whether people accept and share (mis)information, and what can be done to counter misinformation? All three of these aspects need to be understood in the context of online social networks, which have fundamentally changed the way information is produced, consumed, and transmitted. The contributions within this volume summarize the most up-to-date empirical findings, theories, and applications and discuss cutting-edge ideas and future directions of interventions to counter fake news. Also providing guidance on how to handle misinformation in an age of “alternative facts”, this is a fascinating and vital reading for students and academics in psychology, communication, and political science and for professionals including policy makers and journalists.
Book Synopsis The News and Public Opinion by : Maxwell McCombs
Download or read book The News and Public Opinion written by Maxwell McCombs and published by Polity. This book was released on 2011-10-10 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The daily news plays a major role in the continuously changing mix of thoughts, feelings and behavior that defines public opinion. The News & Public Opinion details these effects of the news media on the sequence of outcomes that collectively shape public opinion, beginning with initial attention to the various news media and their contents and extending to the effects of this exposure on the acquisition of information, formation of attitudes and opinions and to the consequences of all these elements for participation in public life. Sometimes called the hierarchy of media effects, this sequence of outcomes describes the communication process involved in the formation of public opinion. Although the media landscape is undergoing rapid change, key elements remain the same, and The News & Public Opinion emphasizes these basic principles of communication established over decades of empirical social science investigations into the impact of mass communication on public opinion. The primary audience for this book is students, both advanced undergraduates and graduate students, as well as members of the general public who want to understand the role of the news media in our civic life.

Book Synopsis Children and Television by : Norma Odom Pecora
Download or read book Children and Television written by Norma Odom Pecora and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This seminal volume is a comprehensive review of the literature on children's television, covering fifty years of academic research on children and television. The work includes studies of content, effects, and policy, and offers research conducted by social scientists and cultural studies scholars. The research questions represented here consider the content of programming, children's responses to television, regulation concerning children's television policies, issues of advertising, and concerns about sex and race stereotyping, often voicing concerns that children's entertainment be held to a higher standard. The volume also offers essays by scholars who have been seeking answers to some of the most critical questions addressed by this research. It represents the interdisciplinary nature of research on children and television, and draws on many academic traditions, including communication studies, psychology, sociology, education, economics, and medicine. The full bibliography is included on CD. Arguably the most comprehensive bibliography of research on children and television, this work illustrates the ongoing evolution of scholarship in this area, and establishes how it informs or changes public policy, as well as defining its role in shaping a future agenda. The volume will be a required resource for scholars, researchers, and policy makers concerned with issues of children and television, media policy, media literacy and education, and family studies.
Book Synopsis Media Effects and Society by : Elizabeth M. Perse
Download or read book Media Effects and Society written by Elizabeth M. Perse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in theoretical principle, Media Effects and Society help students make the connection between mass media and the impact it has on society as a whole. The text also explores how the relationship individuals have with media is created, therefore helping them alleviate its harmful effects and enhance the positive ones. The range of media effects addressed herein includes news diffusion, learning from the mass media, socialization of children and adolescents, influences on public opinion and voting, and violent and sexually explicit media content. The text examines relevant research done in these areas and discusses it in a thorough and accessible manner. It also presents a variety of theoretical approaches to understanding media effects, including psychological and content-based theories. In addition, it demonstrates how theories can guide future research into the effects of newer mass communication technologies. The second edition includes a new chapter on effects of entertainment, as well as text boxes with examples for each chapter, discussion of new technology effects integrated throughout the chapters, expanded pedagogy, and updates to the theory and research in the text. These features enhance the already in-depth analysis Media Effects and Society provides.
Book Synopsis News Framing Effects by : Sophie Lecheler
Download or read book News Framing Effects written by Sophie Lecheler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: News Framing Effects is a guide to framing effects theory, one of the most prominent theories in media and communication science. Rooted in both psychology and sociology, framing effects theory describes the ability of news media to influence people’s attitudes and behaviors by subtle changes to how they report on an issue. The book gives expert commentary on this complex theoretical notion alongside practical instruction on how to apply it to research. The book’s structure mirrors the steps a scholar might take to design a framing study. The first chapter establishes a working definition of news framing effects theory. The following chapters focus on how to identify the independent variable (i.e., the "news frame") and the dependent variable (i.e., the "framing effect"). The book then considers the potential limits or enhancements of the proposed effects (i.e., the "moderators") and how framing effects might emerge (i.e., the "mediators"). Finally, it asks how strong these effects are likely to be. The final chapter considers news framing research in the light of a rapidly and fundamentally changing news and information market, in which technologies, platforms, and changing consumption patterns are forcing assumptions at the core of framing effects theory to be re-evaluated.
Book Synopsis Integrative Framing Analysis by : Viorela Dan
Download or read book Integrative Framing Analysis written by Viorela Dan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of framing scholarship focuses either exclusively on the analysis of words or of visuals. This book aims to address this gap by proposing a six-step approach to the analysis of verbal frames, visual frames and the interplay between them—an integrative framing analysis. This approach is then demonstrated through a study investigating the way words and visuals are used to frame people living with HIV/AIDS in various communication contexts: the news, public service announcements and special interest publications. This application of integrative framing analysis reveals differences between verbal frames and visual frames in the same messages, underscoring the importance of looking at these frames together.
Download or read book A New Semiotics written by David Sless and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-01-02 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Semiotics is an introductory guide to the field of semiotics. Assuming no prior knowledge of semiotics, this accessible text takes a fresh look at semiotics and suggests that many of the forebears and many contemporary contributors to semiotics have misconstrued the nature of their work. The authors start off by asking ‘What is semiotics?’ and go on to outline a journey towards a new semiotics. It offers a clearer way forward out of the prison of complexity invented by the fathers of contemporary semiotics—Peirce and Saussure. Each chapter ends with a summary, exercises and discussion points for students, and further reading. This is the ideal text for introductory courses in semiotics within linguistics, communication studies, visual arts and related areas.
