The phenomenon of influencer, far from being an emerging trend, may be considered as a rooted reality by now. Influencers can affect consumers’ decisions by providing new trends or sponsoring products. They operate in various sectors and starting from social networks, they may expand their activity. Food-bloggers belong to the influencers’ category. They do not exclusively provide recipes but, they also suggest restaurants or products to buy, give advice about diet or food tendencies as well as be promoters of a brands or create partnership with companies. The connection that they create with their followers allows to distinguish their profiles from celebrities and makes them more reliable. They represent a new form of amateur professionalism that perfectly matches the food world with the online environment. Being understood the foregoing, before explaining in details the food bloggers’ characteristics, their evolution across time and the influence they have upon consumers, it is important to provide information about the two topics they refer to: food (the object of their work) and Internet (the environment they work into). Food is not only the “fuel” of human’s body but, it is strictly related to socio-cultural realities. The concept of “food culture” refers to the practices, attitudes, beliefs, networks and institutions surrounding the production, distribution, and consumption of food. So, it is possible to talk about food as a “cultural aspect” when a population operates on it and modifies its characteristics. Individuals share food and recipes every day, using food as a way to communicate culture and to keep relationships alive. So, if food is considered as a glue between generation and culture, food-bloggers represent a bridge connecting them. Through online channels they transmit information, give advice to their audience and share food across time and distance. A second aspect to highlight, it is the online environment in which food-bloggers operate in. With the introduction of the fist model of Internet in 1969 and with the creation of Web 2.0., the way thought which individuals share information has been completely changed. Web 2.0. allows to share information, to publish contents, to discuss and to communicate with third parties, to use technology in everyday life. The possibility of real-time communication, of information sharing and the connection among people across the world has increased, and web communities have growth in popularity. In virtual 1 communities, people electronically communicate and share interests and goals. The most common web communities are represented by blogs, social networks and forums. Social networks represent an emerging phenomenon of the last years: they have moved from a niche to a mass phenomenon. Throughout such work thesis, some examples of most known social network, such as Instagram, Facebook or YouTube will be explained. SNs are computer networks which socially and virtually connect people or organizations: each user interacts with other actors and each social interaction is represented by a node. A larger number of nodes shows a higher number of social interactions. Users, such as food- bloggers, who operate across various nodes are considered like influencers because their opinion can be spread across different groups. People have always exchanged information: the phenomenon of word of mouth (WOM) has be converted in eWOM, where the “e” stays for “electronic” because users spread information across the web. Due to the success of SNs, a lot of companies have decided to create their profiles, and at the same time, food-bloggers have decided to spread their activities through them in order to obtain a larger audience. On the other hand, a blog is an online platform allowing individuals to create a sort of “personal diary”. Bloggers talk about different topics, share opinions, experience or personal life. Due to the development of technology, they can communicate with a larger audience than before. Blogs give voice to “ordinary people”: food-bloggers are not professional of the sector; they are foodie and they want to share their passion for food. It is possible to find blogs about every topic so that bloggers who want to distinguish themselves from the mass should be able to be perceived as credible and trustful. Blogs and social networks will be analysed in details and further information on them will be provided here-below, such as communities, micro blogging, opinion leaders and WOM. Once provided and understood the main characteristics of these two worlds, the figure of food-blogger could be analysed. More attention will be focused on blogs because they are the first tools used by food-bloggers to share their passion. Then, food-bloggers’ characteristics will be analysed in order to understand what they are and why they are considered opinion leaders. Food blogs are considered a relevant source for food research, such as recipes, restaurant where eat or new dietary tendencies. Reasons why photographic elements are considered essential will be also explained, with a focus on the phenomenon of “foodporn”. Due to increasing number of “food-bloggers” present on the web, it is very difficult to distinguish who is reliable and who is not. They want to share their passion for food and use various tool to do that. Some of them consider their activity 2 as a pure hobby, while others want to use that as a springboard for their career. There are a lot of “food-influencer” who have started their activity on blog. To confirm this trend, it will be introduced a paragraph dedicate to one of the most known Campania food- blogger: Egidio Cerrone, alias “Puokemed”. Egidio has been interviewed to disclose information about food-blogging in general, his consideration of the role that food- bloggers should have and about the reasons and evolution of his career. When a food- blogger obtains great success is defined as a “food influencer”: for this reason, companies want to collaborate with them to promote their products. Information about food, online world and food-bloggers represents the basis of a market analysis aimed at understanding if and how food-bloggers actually influence customers’ food-choices. A survey has been provided to customers and spread online in order to reach a larger audience.

Abstract Two studies examined ghosting, a unilateral breakup strategy that involves avoiding technologically-mediated contact with a partner instead of providing a verbal indication of the desire to break up. Study 1 solicited open-ended responses regarding experiences with ghosting and explored associations between ghosting and a variety of dispositional and situational variables. Study 2 investigated differences in the process of relationship dissolution and post-breakup outcomes as a function of breakup role (disengager or recipient) and breakup strategy (ghosting or direct conversation) across two samples.

Users are spending more and more time on these platforms, creating an active and passive digital footprint through their interaction. This footprint has high research potential in many research areas because understanding people’s communication on social media is essential in understanding their values, attitudes, experi- ences and behaviors. Researchers found that the use of social networking sites impacts adolescents’ eating behavior. If we define adolescents as individuals between ages 10 and 24 (WHO’s definition), 76% of USA young people at age 18–24 use Instagram, so the Instagram social network analysis is important for understanding young people’s expressions in the context of healthy food. This study aims to identify the main topic associated with healthy food on the Instagram social network via hashtag and community analysis based on 2,045,653 messages created by 427,936 individual users. The results show that users most associate Healthy food with healthy lifestyle, fitness, weight loss Citation: Pilaˇr,L.; Stanislavská, L.K.; and diet.

  • Kim Kelleher's Leaving "Time" for Say Media Is Further Proof That ELITE MAGAZINES AREN't "PARADISE PUBLISHING"
    July 16, 2012 Media Industry Newsletter Vol. 65 No. 28 New York, N.Y. www.minonline.com Kim Kelleher's Leaving "Time" for Say Media is Further Proof that ELITE MAGAZINES AREN'T "PARADISE PUBLISHING"... Back in the 1980s, the late Bernie Gallagher used his Gallagher Report to call Time Inc. Paradise Publishing. Yes, he was sarcastic (the company was in its first throes of change with the 1989 Warner Communications merger), but during the 1923-1967 era of founder Henry Luce and beyond, there were no magazine jobs more prestigious than being publisher or editor of Time, Life, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, and later Money and People. Nobody left voluntarily—the next and presumably last job was something cushy on the corporate level—unless you were as distinguished as the late 1968-1977 Time managing editor Henry A. Grunwald to be appointed U.S. ambassador to Austria in 1988 by President Ronald Reagan. (continued on page 5) ...AND WHAT IN THE WORLD IS SAY MEDIA? Without a doubt, the news that Time worldwide publisher (since May 2011) Kim Kelleher was leaving to lead Say Media was met with a chorus of "Say what?" The company, as Kelleher points out herself, has certainly been flying under the radar. Yet, ipon closer examination, that flight does appear to be charting a promising, if nontraditional, path. Say Media was formed in 2010, 18 months after the originally named (2004) VideoEgg acquired Six Apart, makers of a leading blog platform.

  • Food Porn on Instagram: Only a Feast for the Eye Or Also Valuable for Restaurants?
    Food porn on Instagram: Only a feast for the eye or also valuable for restaurants? An experimental study on the comparative effects of food-related user-generated images and marketer-generated images on restaurant brands, examining the moderating role of restaurant luxuriousness and type of post. Name Daphne Pleijers Student Number S4613325 Supervisor Prof. Dr. Samuel Kristal 2nd examiner Dr. Csilla Horváth Abstract With user-generated content (UGC), consumers are gaining control over the creation of brand meaning, whereas brands are losing it, due to declining trust in marketer-generated content. Little is known about the impact of user-generated images (UGI), as a form of UGC, on observers of those images. Since UGI are numerous in the Food & Beverage Industry, this study compares the effects that food-related UGI and marketer-generated images (MGI) have on millennial observers concerning consumer-based brand equity (CBBE), benign envy, restaurant visiting intention and willingness to pay. In a 3 (consumer UGI post vs. brand UGI repost vs. brand MGI post) x 2 (fine dining vs. casual dining) between-subjects experiment, the moderating roles of restaurant luxuriousness and type of post were also examined. The results show that, compared to MGI, UGI only have a more positive impact on CBBE in terms of brand expectations, and not for the other outcome variables. Restaurant luxuriousness moderates the effect of UGI and MGI on CBBE, restaurant visiting intention and willingness to pay: it is more positive for more luxurious restaurants. CBBE is more positively impacted by UGI for fine dining restaurants, but for casual dining restaurants MGI are more beneficial.
