Making Sense of “Views” Culture in Television News Media in India

ABSTRACT

The initiation of economic reforms in the 1990s led to major recastings in the media-state-market relationship in India. Looking specifically at the television news media space, the age-old monopoly of the state broadcaster Doordarshan was challenged by the mushrooming of a host of private television news media. Private participation in the television news sector was in sync with the logic of market capitalism. Market-based news model radically altered the nature of production, representation and consumption of news. This paper makes an inquiry into one such predominant aspect of news production, the ascendancy of views/opinion based prime time programming in television news media, in contemporary India. Through a series of semi-structured interviews with journalists, the paper attempts to make sense of the reasons, the nature and significance and the likely impact of such programming on the nature of public discourse in India.

Diagnosing Nonlinearity With Confidence Envelopes for a Semiparametric Approach to Modeling Bivariate Nonlinear Relations Among Latent Variables

During the early phases of research, semiparametric models (SPMs) have the advantage of recovering latent nonlinearity over parametric counterparts. Structural equation mixture models (Bauer, 2005) can be applied as SPMs to flexibly recover and describe the form of the unknown latent relationship with minimal distributional assumptions. This short report extends the work on this SPM (Bauer, 2005; Pek, Losardo & Bauer, 2011) by developing approximate simultaneous confidence bands or confidence envelopes (CEs) to evaluate potential nonlinearity of the unknown latent function. A line-finding algorithm to be used in conjunction with these CEs is also developed as an implementation of an informal test to diagnose nonlinearity. Coverage of the CEs and performance of the algorithm in terms of rates of detecting latent nonlinearity are evaluated by Monte Carlo. Recommendations for the use of these CEs and the algorithm for detecting nonlinearity are suggested.

Movement Duration,Fractionated Reaction Time,and Response Programming

The purpose of this study was to determine how the manipulation of movement duration affects components of fractionated reaction time and presumably motor programming. Twelve subjects, in a simple reaction time paradigm, responded to an auditory signal by executing an elbow flexion movement in the sagittal plane through a range of motion of 100° in 150, 300, 600 and 1200 ms. Results indicated no changes in motor time but small increments in premotor and reaction time through the 600 ms condition. At 1200 ms, reaction time increased faster than premotor time, and this appeared to be predominantly a consequence of an increment in motor time. These data were interpreted to be supportive of the notion that movement duration is related to response complexity and the time required for motor programming.
