Checking Out Reading Center honors Weber Facility named after founding member, former University education professor By MELISSA NAYMIK The BG News Over the years, the University has had numerous facilities named after distinguished professors.

  • Viewing Wars
    Viewing Wars: Action Heroes and Canadian Mothers Concerns about Violent Television for Boys 3-6 Stephen Kline Media Analysis Laboratory Simon Fraser University Canada (draft June 2, 1999) Much of the growing interest in the analysis of audiences is written against the previous effects approach to understanding mass media. These models primarily theorized the influence of mass media rather narrowly as the flow of a dominant meaning from TV (stimulus) to audiences (respondents) and subsumed the idea that ‘reception’ could best be understood as the ’assimilation and storage of that meaning’. Since the late 1970’s however, challenged by a new theorizing of separate encoding and decoding processes (Hall’s 1980), communications studies has become aware of the fragmentation of mass media audiences and the active assimilation of media content (Morley 1986, Schroder 1994). This has inspired greater interest in viewers motivations and choices underlying viewing, and the reception processes have become the focal point for an audience centred study of communication and media culture (Livingstone 1998). There is a growing interest in applying this approach to children’s relationship to media (Livingstone 1999). In this regard, the work of the Himmelweit project using cross national comparative research on children and youth audiences is providing an empirical basis for a broad and subtle understanding of the global problem of children and media. Yet in the light of research that shows young audiences often make diverse, unexpected and even aberrant readings of their media, there is a growing need to better theorize the ‘diversity’ in young peoples media use and audiences (David Buckingham 1993, 1997).
