Full textFear has found its latest instrument in the news media. The discourse of fear in news presentations produces gasping meanings, which we can compellingly indulge in. Fear not just being entertaining, but one of the ways in which we relate to reality, is used as a protection mechanism of our status quo. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the extent to which Fox News tends to use, and further reproduce, the fear discourse to form identities and meaning. The method utilized in this thesis is frame analysis, which is a form of discourse analysis. The primary results indicate that Fox News undeniably uses the fear discourse, for entertainment and the proliferation of the status quo - meaning system. In addition, Fox News applies fear blatantly in the news presentations, as acts of courage and virtuous loyalty to reporting.
Key words: Fear, Frame analysis, Meaning, News media, Infotainment.

Full textThis research used a series of qualitative measurements of media coverage to investigate how differences in characteristics of a terrorist related event correlate with qualitative differences in media coverage. The first part of this study determined that there were tools to measure differences in the quality of coverage. Three variables showed significant differences in coverage. Coverage differed in the structure of the news account- in whose shoes the reader enters the story. The differences between entering through the perspective of the victim, the perpetrator or the context have been correlated by Cerulo (1998) with different messages of the legitimacy of the actors. Victim sequences signal deviant (illegitimate) violence, perpetrator sequences signal legitimate violence and contextual sequences signal ambiguous violence. Coverage also differed in the extent to which an article provided contextual information or focused strictly on the details of the event. Providing contextual information is important for terrorist groups because it includes information on the grievances of the group as well as the history of the conflict. This variable was measured as an episodic or thematic frame. Explanations of motivation for participation in terrorism also differed based on characteristics of an event. As with contextual coverage, presenting themes of causation or motivation for the account is a way for terrorist groups to present grievances and history of the conflict. Combining these three variables into a favorable coverage variable helped makes sense of competing trends in the data. This first section set up a system for evaluating the qualitative impact on media coverage of choices that terrorist groups and governments make. What stands out is a paradox for a terrorist group around the use of violence. Both here and in other studies, violence has been shown to be an effective means of getting through the media gatekeeping and achieving coverage, but it is also associated with a decrease in favorable coverage. Number of casualties is also negatively associated with favorable coverage. Hence the paradox that, in order to achieve coverage, based on criteria of newsworthiness, violence may often be necessary, but violent action actually decreases the number of articles presenting the kind of information terrorist groups want to get across. Looking at the paired cases, what was most significant was the lack of change in the favorability of coverage before and after events. The implication is that while terrorist groups may have some control over whether or not their actions get covered, media organizations develop fairly resilient patterns for covering those actions, irrespective of the nature of the action. Terrorist groups essentially have less capacity to actually manipulate the type of coverage they receive than is commonly believed. While there were some very small effects, the favorability of coverage immediately following an event is essentially the same as before it. The difference lies in the actual amount of coverage. While short-term impacts were slight, there are substantial differences both in quantity and quality over the life of the conflict, a longer term view may allow for better understanding of changes in media coverage.

The ever increasing ubiquity of social media platforms has led to the emergence of an incredibly important positive feedback loop between social media sharing and online content consumption. The potential of this feedback loop is critical to marketers, publishers, politicians, and beyond. However, identifying causal effects in this context is very difficult. The data requirements are quite demanding, calling for data from both social media platforms and content producers. In addition, feedback loops inherently suffer simultaneous equation bias. Using regional rainfall as a natural experiment, we use a novel panel-IV strategy to identify positive and significant cross-region "peer effects" in online news viewership: a 1% increase in within-region viewership causes external viewership to increase by approximately 0.06%. Moreover, evidence suggests that social network sharing is a primary driver of these peer effects. We find that the peer effect is stronger on viewership referred from social network sources compared to viewership referred from search engines. Beyond this, we find that social network connectivity moderates the strength of this peer effect: "strongly-connected" regions exhibit more positive and significant peer effects relative to more "weakly-connected" ones. Our provides a first step in understanding how social media platforms generate value for online content producers.

The growth and spread of the Internet have generated new possibilities for public participation with news content, forcing news scholars and makers alike to confront a number of questions about what the nature, role and function of news, journalists, and audiences are in a networked society. If news gathering, reporting, and circulation had existed for generations as a largely centralized process, left to the minds and hands of reporters organized through news rooms across the nation, the environment of the Internet and interactive properties of new media counter such a model, affording users with as much capacity to produce their own news content as they have had to merely consume it. This thesis, then, seeks to contribute to scholarship on online journalism through an ethnographic study of the five-year-old, technology-centered news site Slashdot.org as an emerging model of online news production and distribution I call a collaborative new network. Embodying a pronounced case of the decentralization of editorial control in online news environments, Slashdot's collaborative news network operates through an inscription of users as the primary producers of news content; an expansion of an understanding of the site of news to include not just journalistic reports and articles, but the discussion by users around them; debate around issues of editorial authority; a valuation of subjectivity and transparency as properties of news; and the generation of user-driven forms of collective action whose effects extend beyond the environment of Slashdot's network. This study will focus, then, on an examination of the social practices and processes surrounding the production, consumption and distribution of news on Slashdot, and the meanings that are generated through such activities. Through such an analysis, I hope to explore how practices enacted on Slashdot (re)construct users' relationship to news, editors, and one another - and similarly investigate how it (re)constructs editors relationship to news, readers, and one another.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 58-59).
Synthetic News Radio uses automatic speech recognition and clustered text news stories to automatically find story boundaries in an audio news broadcast, and it creates semantic representations that can match stories of similar content through audio-based queries. Current speech recognition technology cannot by itself produce enough information to accurately characterize news audio; therefore, the clustered text stories represent a knowledge base of relevant news topics that the system can use to combine recognition transcripts of short, intonational phrases into larger, complete news stories. Two interface mechanisms, a graphical desktop application and a touch-tone drive phone interface, allow quick and efficient browsing of the new structured news broadcasts. The system creates a personal, synthetic newscast by extracting stories, based on user interests, from multiple hourly newscasts and then reassembling them into a single recording at the end of the day. The system also supports timely delivery of important stories over a LAN or to a wireless audio pager. This thesis describes the design and evaluation of the news segmentation and content matching technology, and evaluates the effectiveness of the interface and delivery mechanisms.
