“媒介涵化受众”与“受众涵化媒介”：大数据环境下网络涵化模式的重构

大数据时代,网络媒介相对于传统网络媒介发生了“空间转移”和“信息转移”的转向与变化,媒介和信息的变化使得大数据背景下传播学的“涵化理论”等经典命题发生了重构。传统涵化理论是单向的、线性的,认为受众在媒介长期影响下形成社会认知模式和社会行为方式。大数据背景下,受众的行为、个性、爱好都受到搜索引擎和企业的追踪,推送式的信息成为网民接触信息的主要方式。媒介根据受众的个体认知模式制造个性定制信息,受众涵化了媒介内容和媒介传播的方式;而媒介推送的信息又进一步加强和巩固了受众的原有认知模式,媒介又涵化着受众;整个互动过程中,受众受到原有自我认知模式的不断涵化。     

弱势群体新闻报道中社会与大众传媒互动研究

新闻作为一种公共话语形式,受到意识形态、社会语境等宏观因素及媒介价值取向、记者认知结构等因素的影响,在新闻报道中难免出现一定程度的偏差,尤其表现在对弱势群体的相关报道中。本文试图从此类新闻报道中探寻出客观现实到媒介现实、再到心理现实这样一个路径,并通过大众传媒的媒介偏见现象、价值取向利益化和受众选择性新闻接受、刻板印象等影响因素探讨大众媒介与社会认知之间的具体互动过程以及受众的认知转化过程。     

区域媒介的话语建构分析——以中原经济区建设为例

媒介话语建构通过系统性符码创造传递给受众,与受众个体原有认知系统发生交互反应,再由受众本身对媒介符码进行分析、判断,进而建构新的意义。媒介与社会事实以及媒介与个人意见和公众舆论的关系既是媒介话语建构的体现,也是媒介话语建构的社会基础。     

应对受众心理需求变化

新闻受众既是新闻传播的对象,又是新闻传播活动的积极参与者,新闻传播的社会功能的发挥,社会效果的体现,最终反映在新闻受众身上。反观中国媒介近年来的发展曲线,正符合受众心理变化的趋势。     

浅谈新闻媒体的社会责任

民生新闻及公共新闻,因其＂受众本位＂核心,一直深受公众认可,而随着新闻传播渠道的延展,受众媒介素养提高以及社会环境的变化,新闻传播理念也随之发生变化。本文从新闻媒体与受众之间的关系入手,解析新闻媒体应当承担的社会责任。     

网络中农民工形象对现实社会的影响与媒体责任

通过统计、调查和访问,得出网络媒体塑造的农民工形象、受众眼中的农民工形象和农民工自我认知形象三者之间存在较大差异.本文从这些差异出发,重点分析了网络中农民工形象对现实社会的影响以及这三者差异产生的原因,从而强调媒介新闻报道整体真实和新闻专业主义重要性,媒介必须承担相应的社会责任.     

电视民生新闻的社会功能

本文从传播社会学的角度，对民生新闻的社会功能进行了解构，将其功能性中最突出的舆论监督（即环境监视）功能、社会模式维持功能、社会成员社会化功能以及社会安全阀功能进行了探讨，并在其基础上对电视民生新闻与受众的社会认知的双向影响进行了较为详细的分析。     

浅谈目前我国社会新闻存在的问题

随着生活水平的提高,社会竞争的加剧,人们渴望在闲暇时间能够放松身心,于是社会新闻因其新鲜、通俗、有趣,在家庭、人生祸福、人伦关系的层面直接牵动人们的神经,受到人们的广泛关注。大量的“软”新闻增强了媒介与受众的接近性,拉近了与广大受众的距离。然而,有些媒体在追求通俗化、大众化的过程中,混淆了通俗和庸俗的界限,导致社会新闻日益庸俗化、狭隘化、雷同化、虚假化,陷入了低级趣味和媚俗的误区。     

社会媒体对新闻与受众互动的塑造——以微博的新闻传播为例

任何一种媒介在传播新闻时,都承载着新闻对社会的影响力。影响力的大小与受众的数量有关系,与新闻的质量有关系,还与所能引发的公众关注有关系。本文将着重探究在微博时代,新闻与受众方面出现的新机制,新机制主要包括新的传受关系、受众的互动行为以及微博对现实世界与虚拟世界的建构。     

网络新闻标题的失范现象及其规避路径

部分媒体为了追求经济效益,在制作网络新闻标题时违背了社会主义新闻工作的基本原则,过度传播负面、娱乐、低俗化的内容,致使网络新闻中的"标题党"现象愈演愈烈。这一方面损害了媒介的社会公信力,另一方面也误导了受众对于新闻信息的认知与判断,影响着社会的和谐稳定。因此,通过合理的路径构建应对网络新闻标题失范现象的对策势在必行,这既要求网络媒体坚持新闻专业主义原则,主动承担社会责任感,不断提升新闻工作者的专业素养能力,也要求进一步提升受众的媒介素养,培养有理性、会思考的受众。     

Learning Politics From Social Media: Interconnection of Social Media Use for Political News and Political Issue and Process Knowledge

Drawing on a national survey of 1,157 South Korean adults, the present study finds that social media use for political news is positively associated with knowledge about political issues, but not with knowledge about political processes. Professional media use for political news is significantly associated with both political issue knowledge and political process knowledge. The impact of social media for news on political issue knowledge increases with the additive role of professional media news use. This study also finds that political talk strengthens the positive association between social media use for news and political issue knowledge.     

试析完善社会新闻报道的措施

目前,社会新闻报道过程中存在诸多弊端,要消除这些不健康的因素,既要有媒体自身的努力,也要政府、社会各界共同参与进来,加强监管与引导,才能使社会新闻报道越来越健康。     

Why Users Share the News: A Theory of Reasoned Action-Based Study on the Antecedents of News-Sharing Behavior

Social media have become an integral part of online news use, affecting how individuals find, consume, and share news. By applying the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), this study investigates the effects of motives, attitude, and intention on news-sharing behavior among German social media users (n = 333). Findings show that news-sharing attitude and subjective norms have a positive effect on news-sharing intention, which in turn has a positive effect on actual news-sharing behavior. Taken together, we see that a new media behavior in the early phases of its societal diffusion—like social media news sharing in Germany in 2015—can mainly be explained by a rational choice logic and is rooted in the motives of socializing and information seeking. This finding thus reflects the double nature of social media as a means for both information retrieval and social grooming.     

War 2.0:重大事件新闻发布与社会化媒体的“初体验”——铸铅行动YouTube以军频道实证研究

2008年末,以军在YouTube上开设频道实施铸铅行动战时新闻发布,成为首支在军事行动中官方运用此类社会化媒体的军队。通过采用内容分析、用户分析和舆情分析等网络传播研究方法对这一典型个案进行实证研究可知,以军YouTube频道战时新闻发布的传播意图多重且相对鲜明、传播战略规律但略显粗放、传播样式多样而过于单向,传播效果反响热烈但结果意外。作为重大事件新闻发布的新领域,社会化媒体拥有超能量的同时弊端丛现。     

新制度主义视野下的新闻生产研究

本文从新制度主义的分析范式入手,探讨在有关新闻生产的研究中所运用的社会科学理论的最新进展情况。在同样将新闻视为社会建构的产物的基础上,新制度主义更强调嵌入于更广阔的社会部门和领域的媒介组织的政治和文化因素,认为新闻生产通常存在于被视为理所当然的、受文化认可的传统或制度中,由此说明组织对更广范围的文化规范及来自支配领域的压力的遵从。本文认为,新制度主义范式将制度变量引入了新闻生产的分析中,开拓了我们从社会学角度开展的一系列新闻研究,其对关键节点和时序划分等概念的强调,也有助于我们克服对新闻业自身发展的历史做因果直线式的"决定论"的偏向。     

论新闻的“有机真实”

有机真实,不是简单的新闻真实类型,而是在新兴媒介环境中观察分析新闻生产、新闻真实的一种新观念、新视野,它意味着真实观念的变革,更意味着在新的媒介环境中,新闻真实实现的主体方式、媒介方式、符号方式、文本方式及其背后思维方式正在发生变革。有机真实的实质,是说新闻真实是在不同报道主体相互作用、相互影响过程中呈现的真实,有机真实是在不同媒介方式、符号方式、文本方式有机互动中呈现的真实。就当下来说,尽管有机真实的实现有赖于一个社会、一个国家信息的公开程度,有赖于职业新闻生产的透明度和公开度,也有赖于社会公众及其他各种社会组织、群体参与新闻生产传播的热情与水平,但最要紧的是,专业新闻媒体要充分发挥自身的专业能力,职业新闻工作者应该承担自身的应尽职责,在新兴媒介环境中重建自身的权威性、公信力。     

Contextualizing Nonprofits’ Use of Links on Twitter During the West African Ebola Virus Epidemic

This study investigates how nonprofit organizations use hyperlinks embedded in tweets for strategic communication during global health crises. Within the 1,494 links included in tweets about Ebola, organizations shared owned and earned media, including news stories directly or indirectly referencing their work and positive mentions from others on social media. Links allowed organizations to raise awareness about Ebola in West Africa, promote their work, and highlight endorsements from news media and influential users. Raising awareness and building trust are key steps in becoming credible sources during highly uncertain crises.     

Global Mistrust in News: The Impact of Social Media on Trust

ABSTRACT

Digital platforms such as search engines and social media have become major gateways to news. Algorithms are used to deliver news that is consistent with consumers’ preferences and individuals share news through their online social networks. This networked environment has resulted in growing uncertainty about online information which has had an impact on news industries globally. While it is well established that perceptions of trust in news found on social media or via search engines are lower than traditional news media, there has been less discussion about the impact of social media use on perceptions of trust in the news media more broadly. This study fills that gap by examining the influence of social media as news sources and pathways to news on perceptions of the level of news trust at a country level. A secondary data analysis of a 26-country survey in 2016 and 2019 was conducted. The analysis revealed an increase in social media use for accessing news resulted in a decline in trust in news media generally across the globe. Higher levels of general mistrust in news were related to an increased use of sharing of news. This paper argues the use of social media for news is closely linked to the increase in news mistrust, which is likely to continue to rise as the number of people using social media to access news continues to grow.     

Understanding User-Librarian Interaction Types in Academic Library Microblogging: A Comparison Study in Twitter and Weibo

This research examined the ways in which academic librarians and users interact when using social media tools such as Twitter and Weibo as well as end-users' and librarians' perceptions of the types of interaction through social media. The study conducted an analysis of 1600 microblog posts sampled from twenty university library Weibo (Chinese Twitter) sites and twenty library Twitter sites in English-speaking countries. The results were compared using Chi-Square analysis. Results indicated that at present academic librarians in English-speaking countries use post information relevant to the library (news and events) and respond to information/research inquiries. And academic librarians in China are likely to use Weibo to communicate with users and to disseminate library news. Given the lack of previous research on how social media such as micro-blogging in general facilitates communication between librarians and library users in academic libraries between in English-speaking countries and China, this study provides valuable information concerning librarians' and end-users' interactions of information/knowledge sharing activities, which will enable libraries to be better positioned to promote user engagement through SNS usage.     

Social media,legacy media and gatekeeping: the protest paradigm in news of Ferguson and Charlottesville

ABSTRACT

This study investigates the site of intersection between legacy and social media, whereby it asks how local legacy media (St Louis Post-Dispatch and Richmond Times-Dispatch) invoked social media (Facebook and Twitter) discourse within their coverage of the Ferguson (2014) and Charlottesville (2017) events. It thus explores how gatekeeping is manifested and, consequently, how the protest paradigm emerged in a news landscape of proliferating social media. Thematic textual analysis indicates that coverage of Charlottesville and Ferguson clearly relied on indulging the social media sphere in important ways. Common themes of social media as multipurpose platforms, as interfacing with law and order, and as reconciling material and digital modes culminating in social activism were revealed. The study shows that the protest paradigm that has long characterized legacy media’s coverage of social protest is not as “pure” as it may once have been, since a social media component is helping define the contours and content of legacy media’s landscape.
