Jurnal Komunikasi Malaysian Journal of Communication Jilid 34(2) 2018: 166-187 #Trending: A Reevaluation of Traditional News Values Given Twitter through a Mixed Methods Approach VENICE NICOLE ARBOLEDA AMOROSO NICOLE ABIGAIL CENIZAL CHAM PAULO MARI CHICO CRUZ CANDICE RIA ESTACAMENTO MONSALE MICAH GABRIELA TONGOL SAN JOSE JEREMAIAH MANUEL OPINIANO University of Santo Tomas, Philippines ABSTRACT Over the years, social media have catered for faster and perhaps more efficient delivery of news. Twitter, one of the most popular micro-blogging sites, is now being used by journalists in spreading and gathering news. And since Twitter takes note of what topics are trending, journalists now have an idea on what their audience would like to know and talk about. However, topics trending on Twitter often do not reflect the dominant news values presented by the journalists in the traditional news media, thus creating a gap between the perceptions of the audience and of the journalist on what are considered to be newsworthy especially on Twitter. This also creates an impression that news and news values are evolving. This exploratory mixed methods research re-evaluates the traditional news values in the age of Twitter. It seeks to determine if such values have evolved and if they remain relevant for journalists in the delivery of news in this entirely new platform. Four news values were identified given a phenomenological approach employed in qualitative interviews. These identified news values were then tested using a survey (N=300) as structural equation modelling was employed to test if these four news values are correlated to newsworthiness, news consumption and news distribution. -

No less than House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. himself thumbed down the idea of legalizing same- sex marriages, which are now deemed legal in the United States. “Definitely I’m against [it],” he said in a text message. Belmonte’s opposition was shared by male colleagues in the House, who noted that the chances of a bill on same-sex unions being passed is next to none considering that even the proposal to SAME SEX MARRIAGE continued on page 21 ABOVE-GMA7 Kapuso star Heart Evangelista poses with Miss Philippines Canada 2015 Nathalie Ramos and Miss Philippines Canada 2014 titlist Krisgelle Maramot.

{PDF EPUB} the Lost Art of Gratitude by Alexander Mccall Smith the Lost Art of Gratitude Summary and Reviews
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Lost Art of Gratitude by Alexander McCall Smith The Lost Art of Gratitude Summary and Reviews. Isabel's son, Charlie, is now of an age—eighteen months—to have a social life, and so off they go to a birthday party, where, much to Isabel’s surprise, she finds Minty Auchterlonie, the high-flying financier she first encountered in The Sunday Philosophy Club . Minty had seemed to Isabel a woman of ruthless ambition, but the question of her integrity had never truly been answered. Now, when Minty takes Isabel into her confidence about the complicated troubles at the investment bank she heads, Isabel finds herself going another round: Is Minty to be trusted? Or is she the perpetrator of an enormous financial fraud? Not that this is the only dilemma facing Isabel: she also crosses swords again with her nemesis Professor Dove, in an argument over plagiarism. Her niece, Cat, of course, has a new, problematic man (a stunt man!) in her life. And Jamie—doting father of Charlie—is still pressing Isabel to solve his dilemma: getting her to marry him. As always, there is no end to the delight in accompanying Isabel as she makes her way toward the heart of every problem: philosophizing, sleuthing, and downright snooping, in her inimitable—and inimitably charming—fashion.
