Competition and the decline in Western television program popularity in Indonesia during the 1990s

Despite the country's population base of 240 million, Indonesian television has not been widely explored in academic and professional venues. This paper examines the impact of competition on the popularity of foreign programs in the Indonesian market during the mid-1990s. Analyzing recently released ratings data from a television ratings service, this paper suggests that competition has given rise to the popularity of local programs, while foreign program popularity has declined steeply during the same three year period. The findings also suggest that cultural proximity is a factor of the popularity of programs. By 1997, Asian programs outnumbered Western programs on the top 100 highest rated program lists in Indonesia. We explore implications of study findings for filling this void in the literature.

Book reviews

Guided by uses and gratifications theory and prior research on cross-cultural adaptation (CCA), this article investigated how loneliness influenced Chinese students’ Internet use and CCA. The results showed that chronically lonely, situationally lonely and non-lonely groups were significantly different in their motives for Internet use. Non-lonely Chinese students were more likely to use the Internet for acculturation and less likely to use it for passing time and companionship than did chronically lonely Chinese students. Moreover, loneliness was a significant negative predictor of both sociocultural adaptation and psychological adaptation. Consistent with previous research on CCA, the findings lent support to the uses and gratifications paradigm which posits that individual differences influence people's motivation for media use. Implications of the results for uses and gratifications and CCA research are discussed.     

媒介语境:为受众设置的界面

媒介传播存在一定程度的多义甚至歧义现象。媒介语境运用媒介本身所造成的信息环境 ,帮助受众进行正确解码 ,促进信息的流通。因此 ,媒介语境的功能指向是传播效果。媒介语境的构成可以从语义层面、语法层面、语用层面来进行分析。媒介语境的运用要注意同调规则、阈限规则、完形规则。

对媒体与传播未来的一些初步思考

近年来,媒体研究经常关注当代数字技术如何重塑社会和个人意识.这不可避免地引发了关于传播、媒体和交通的关系以及\"媒体中心主义\"所带来的利弊难题.在这种情况下,我们必须提出,研究应该如何与媒体研究、传播学、文化研究、交通地理学和流动性研究等学科相关联,以及我们想要建立或超越什么样的学科界限.这也引发了关于历史分期问题的思考,以及如何最好地使用概念来说明时代之间的断裂和连续.这里,需要扭转对技术影响的通常看法,并将新技术纳入可以回答的问题中.这对强调解除管制的后福特主义社会的具体特征很有用,为富裕的北半球温带地区的媒体运营提供了条件,也为许多分析提供一个通用模板.因此,还需要考虑该领域的\"去西方化\"的问题,以及我们所生活的后疫情时代的特殊性如何有助于确定当代传播形式的背景.     

Beyond “J-Tweeters”

Based on a survey (N?=?1613) directed to members of the Norwegian Journalist Association (NJ), this paper presents an extensive overview of the ways in which comparably older and newer online platforms have been incorporated into the professional lives of Norwegian journalists. While plenty of research is available that explores the uses of Twitter by journalists, the results presented here suggest that Facebook is by far the most frequently used platform throughout the journalistic process—from collecting information, distributing content and engaging with readers. Statistical analyses provide further insights into which variables appear to influence certain modes of usage across the studied platforms. Based on the results, the argument is made that the advantages of using Facebook as a platform for journalistic practices are obvious due to its popularity among the general public, but that this utilization of one platform over others also could be problematic. As Facebook continues to gain leverage towards the newspapers they host, questions of journalistic practices need to come to the fore.     

Online Threat,But Television is Still Dominant

As news media change, so media news consumption changes with them. This paper, part of a larger international research project involving 11 countries in four continents (Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia), is focused on news consumption. As the range of media outlets has increased dramatically in recent years, this paper asks which news sources are people regularly watching, listening to or reading to understand what is happening in the world. Moreover, the paper tries to detect whether television news remains at the top of the news hierarchy, seeking to identify differences in news consumption in different countries with different media cultures and, consequently, different media behaviour, as well as to reveal differences in news media uses between older and younger generations.     

Establishing a Baseline: History,Evolution and Evaluation of Grand Valley State University's Off-Campus Library Services

ABSTRACT

The model replacing a dedicated off-campus library services (OCLS) unit was one in which librarians provide services to both on- and off-campus students and faculty within their liaison disciplines. A year after this model was implemented, faculty in subjects taught both on- and off-campus were surveyed to assess their awareness of library resources and whether this awareness impacted course assignment design. Findings from this survey combined with a planned review of off-campus course syllabi will help identify areas of concern and lead to ways to strengthen awareness and usage of library resources.

Gaming motivations,avatar-self identification and symptoms of online game addiction

This study conducted a survey of 217 adult game players in Hong Kong to explore the effects of gaming motivations and avatar-self identification on symptoms of online game addiction. Results show that avatar-self identification is positively associated with the problems and salience dimension as well as the uncontrollable game-play dimension of game addiction. The motivation to relax is positively related to perceived avatar-self identification and uncontrollable play; the motivation to socialize in online games is positively linked with the avatar-self identification and both symptoms of online game addiction. The motivation to escape is positively related to the symptom of problems and salience. The drive to achieve virtual accomplishment in online games is negatively associated with the problem caused by gameplay and the salience of online games.     

一种融合情境因素的社会化信息推荐新方法

[目的/意义] 针对目前融合情境因素的信息推荐方法大都存在推荐前的情境过滤(pre-filtering)和推荐后的情境过滤(post-filtering)所导致的价值信息流失问题,将情境因素融入到推荐过程中,实现基于用户-资源-情境的多维推荐。[方法/过程] 将情境因素融入推荐的过程中,动态挖掘在不同情境下用户兴趣的偏好,利用社会网络的相关指标赋予用户兴趣初始值,从空间距离的视角计算用户兴趣的权重,最后,借鉴内容过滤和协同推荐的思想实现用户的评分预测,进而按照用户的兴趣进行推荐。[结果/结论] 与以往二维推荐的实验比较表明,将情境因素融入到推荐过程中的方法在减少价值流失的基础上,能更为准确地揭示用户的兴趣,提高推荐质量,为存在社会关系的社会化媒体推荐服务提供借鉴。

信息媒介使用在中国:概念梳理与理论进展

[目的/意义] 我国对于信息媒介使用的研究逐渐成为学界关注的热点。为进一步把握该领域的前沿动态和研究趋势,需对已有研究进行梳理。[方法/过程] 基于中文社会科学引文索引(CSSCI)数据库,选取\"信息媒介使用\"相关文献进行内容分析。[结果/结论] 研究主题聚焦于信息媒介使用的载体、现状、动机等三维论域,以国外理论进行本土实践或基于国内典型案例作为研究路径,以实证分析方法为主导研究媒介使用与其他变量的关系,但仍缺乏理论创新的自觉性,信息媒介使用主体研究对象有待扩展,议题研究程度发展不均等。建议图书情报学加强对信息媒介使用的相关研究。     

LOOK WHO'S TALKING

Even though we live in a global world cross-cultural comparisons of journalism practice remain rare. This study analyzed the use of sources in newspaper coverage in Sweden and the United States. Rather than focusing on one single event, the comparison utilizes data from a number of different events: the 2003 Iraq War, the 2002 national election in Sweden and the 2004 presidential election in the United States, and the 2005/2006 international controversy stemming from the publication of the Mohammad Cartoons. Some interesting patterns across the three events emerged for the use of government officials, academic experts and citizens as sources. The findings are discussed in the context of news reporting and journalism within a distinct national political and media system.
