  • Media Effects and Marginalized Ideas: Relationships Among Media Consumption and Support for Black Lives Matter
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 4287–4305 1932–8036/20190005 Media Effects and Marginalized Ideas: Relationships Among Media Consumption and Support for Black Lives Matter DANIELLE KILGO Indiana University, USA RACHEL R. MOURÃO Michigan State University, USA Building on research analyses of Black Lives Matter media portrayals, this inquiry uses a two-wave panel survey to examine the effects news coverage has on the evaluation of the core ideas from the Black Lives Matter social movement agenda. Results show that conservative media use increases negative evaluations; models suggest this relationship works as a multidirectional feedback loop. Mainstream and liberal media consumptions do not lead to more positive views about Black Lives Matter’s core ideas. Keywords: media effects, partisan media, conflict, news audiences, Black Lives Matter The 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, was the catalyst that launched a brewing protest movement into the international spotlight. Police officer Darren Wilson shot the unarmed teenager multiple times in the middle of a neighborhood street. Initial protests aimed at finding justice for Brown turned violent quickly and were subsequently met with a militarized police force (e.g., Brown, 2014). Local protests continued in Ferguson while the jury deliberated Wilson’s possible indictment. However, in November 2014, Wilson was not indicted, and the decision refueled national protests. Brown’s death was one of many in 2014, and news media paid attention to the reoccurrence of similar scenarios, as well as the associated protests. These demonstrations were part of the growing, decentralized Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. Protests echoed demands for justice for Black men, women, and children killed by excessive use of force, for police policy reformation, and for the acknowledgment of oppression against Blacks and other marginalized communities.

  • 1 to What Extent Has Sensationalism in the Oregon Shooting, the Ebola
    1 To what extent has sensationalism in the Oregon shooting, the Ebola Crisis, and the missing Malaysian flight avoided genuine problems in print media? AP CAPSTONE RESEARCH March 14, 2016 2 Introduction Sensationalism can be defined as subject matter designed to produce startling or thrilling impressions or to excite and please vulgar taste. (Dictionary.com, 2016) The use of sensationalism in media, or other forms of entertainment can be traced back to ancient roman society, where messages would be publically presented. On public message boards, information was considered to be sensationalized as scandalous and thrill-seeking stories were typically presented first, and in the most exciting manner. From that period on, although not officially given a name, the idea of sensationalizing stories became predominant in society. (Czarny, 2016) It is typical amongst news outlets that stories involving death and crime gain the most attention. Not only do these stories exhibit controversial, graphic, and expressive details, but give news outlets the opportunity to report on high profile cases, that can be followed and updated for days to come, filling up air time. (Czarny, 2016) The idea of sensationalism began after the nineteenth century, due to William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. Both publishers worked for high profile media outlets based out of New York City, and developed the idea and name of Yellow Journalism. Journalists would uphold the title of a “yellow journalist” as their stories would exaggerate events and conceal accurate details to attract and rouse viewers. (Story, 2016) Although unethical, media outlets saw dramatic increases in the numbers of viewers, and thrived off of the attention they were receiving.

  • Understanding the Construction of Journalistic Frames During Crisis
    Understanding the Construction of Journalistic Frames during Crisis Communication Editorial Coverage of COVID-19 in New York Times By: Syeda Shehreen Fatima Supervisor: Maria Zuiderveld Södertörn University | School of Social Sciences Master’s dissertation 15 credits Journalism | Spring semester 2020 International Master’s Program in Journalism Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic is a global crisis with every country being affected. It is one of the widely reported crisis over the past few months. Crisis of such degree and range of influence demands a well-informed reporting with an understanding of the possible impact. As the media coverage is largely influenced by journalistic frames and their interpretations, it is highly important and relevant to study this crisis from a framing perspective. Therefore, this research aims to explore the construction of frames, to what extent they exist in the text in comparison to each other, and how they appear across different time periods by studying the online editorial coverage of the COVID-19 crisis published by New York Times. Eight constructive and seven negative frames have been deductively coded to conduct the research through qualitative content analysis with quantitative elements of the editorials published during three specific periods in January, February, and March of 2020. Constructive frames have been coded with the help of constructive journalism which is used as an analytical concept in this research, while negative frames have been retrieved from literature on the framing of previous crises. The analysis suggests that the editorial coverage of the COVID-19 crisis by New York Times is overall constructive but with focus on few dominant constructive and negative frames.

  • Sensationalism in the Media: Case of Serbia
    Sensationalism in the media: case of Serbia By Katarina Belic Submitted to Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Supervisor: Oana Lup CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2016. Abstract This research investigates the causes and the consequences of the crisis of the press in Serbia, with a special emphasis on one of its major features – sensationalism. I offer journalistic perspectives on this topic, enriching the academic literature on sensationalism, using qualitative interviews with seven journalists from different outlets in Serbia. The study also explores the effect of sensationalism on journalists’ roles and habits. The analysis showed the specific character of sensationalism in Serbia reflects in journalists’ belief that it is being used not only because of public demand, but also by the political elite with a purpose of distracting the public from important social and political problems. High level of sensationalism in Serbia is also explained by Serbian public being more prone to this kind of news because of specific political and economic circumstances of a transitional country. Lacking proper legal framework, according to the journalists, is the main cause of sensationalism perpetuating. The “ideal journalistic role” in their opinions, because of the mentioned trends, could be described as less demanding, making journalists feel powerless to change the direction of the developments. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgments Thank you: Oana Lup, for being everything a person could ask from a supervisor. Even more, and even faster. Mira, Zoki, Jovana and Majki, for making me feel grateful I have you day after day.

  • Analyzing News Values (And More) in Fake Stories
    Media and Communication (ISSN: 2183–2439) 2021, Volume 9, Issue 1, Pages 110–119 DOI: 10.17645/mac.v9i1.3331 Article What Is (Fake) News? Analyzing News Values (and More) in Fake Stories Edson C. Tandoc Jr. 1,*, Ryan J. Thomas 2 and Lauren Bishop 2 1 Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, 637718, Singapore; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 Missouri School of Journalism, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65211, USA; E-Mails: [email protected] (R.J.T.), [email protected] (L.B.) * Corresponding author Submitted: 9 June 2020 | Accepted: 9 August 2020 | Published: 3 February 2021 Abstract ‘Fake news’ has been a topic of controversy during and following the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Much of the scholar- ship on it to date has focused on the ‘fakeness’ of fake news, illuminating the kinds of deception involved and the motiva- tions of those who deceive. This study looks at the ‘newsness’ of fake news by examining the extent to which it imitates the characteristics and conventions of traditional journalism. Through a content analysis of 886 fake news articles, we find that in terms of news values, topic, and formats, articles published by fake news sites look very much like traditional— and real—news. Most of their articles included the news values of timeliness, negativity, and prominence; were about government and politics; and were written in an inverted pyramid format. However, one point of departure is in terms of objectivity, operationalized as the absence of the author’s personal opinion. The analysis found that the majority of articles analyzed included the opinion of their author or authors.

  • Boycotts and Sanctions Against South Africa: an International History, 1946-1970
    Boycotts and Sanctions against South Africa: An International History, 1946-1970 Simon Stevens Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Simon Stevens All rights reserved ABSTRACT Boycotts and Sanctions against South Africa: An International History, 1946-1970 Simon Stevens This dissertation analyzes the role of various kinds of boycotts and sanctions in the strategies and tactics of those active in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. What was unprecedented about the efforts of members of the global anti-apartheid movement was that they experimented with so many ways of severing so many forms of interaction with South Africa, and that boycotts ultimately came to be seen as such a central element of their struggle. But it was not inevitable that international boycotts would become indelibly associated with the struggle against apartheid. Calling for boycotts and sanctions was a political choice. In the years before 1959, most leading opponents of apartheid both inside and outside South Africa showed little interest in the idea of international boycotts of South Africa. This dissertation identifies the conjuncture of circumstances that caused this to change, and explains the subsequent shifts in the kinds of boycotts that opponents of apartheid prioritized. It shows that the various advocates of boycotts and sanctions expected them to contribute to ending apartheid by a range of different mechanisms, from bringing about an evolutionary change in white attitudes through promoting the desegregation of sport, to weakening the state’s ability to resist the efforts of the liberation movements to seize power through guerrilla warfare.
