AbstractMost of the books on Journalism, Mass Communication and Media Studies discuss and elaborate the areas of process and the effects of mass communication. These books deal with the effects of media content on people and society but it is equally important to understand the influences that shape media content. Media, not only influence target audience, but themselves are influenced by a number of factors. It has been found by research that media content is influenced by the personal attitudes and orientations of media workers, professionalism, corporate policies, ownership patterns, the economic environment, advertisers, audiences, ideology and above all, the governments (Shoemaker & Reese, 2004:4). This study investigates the influence of Government on print media content in Pakistan based on its advertising power and being the largest advertiser of the country.

Effects Of Media

The article presents an exploratory study of regional media content in Lithuania, carried out using computational content analysis methods. The aim of the study is to reveal the effects of media capture on media content. More specifically, it analyses if and how local government’s control over regional mass media leads to media bias. In addition, the research aims to test the methods of automatic content analysis for the texts in Lithuanian language. The article focuses on two local newspapers known for close relationships with local governments – Druskininkai newspaper “Mano Druskininkai” and Širvintos newspaper “Širvintų kraštas”. For comparative purposes, the local newspapers of four additional municipalities (Utena, Šilutė, Birštonas and Biržai) are added to the analysis. The data revealed two different mechanisms for consolidating political power through the politically controlled media: in one newspaper, the dominant technique is the promotion of the mayor as a person, while in the other it is the attack of political opponents.

The article focuses on gender portrayal in audio-visual media and discusses the visibility and participation of diverse people. Based on a theoretical framework from gender media studies, we conceptualize audio-visual visibility as a dimension of intersectionality and apply this in an empirical approach. Audio-visual character analysis (ACIS) is introduced as a method to investigate media content in order to describe visibility of the represented people. Applying this method, a quantitative content analysis of a representative sample of German television from 2016 was realized to answer the research questions on the portrayal of relevant characters and on the positions behind the camera. The findings show an unequal representation of gender and an intersectional relevance of other categories of difference such as age as well as an interplay between gender of creative positions and visibility of female characters. The article discusses findings and implications for future research.

Abstract: The 2003 SARS outbreak in Toronto offers an opportunity to study the ways risk has come to form a rhetorical basis for public discussions of morality in contemporary Canadian society. This paper combines Ewald’s precautionary description of risk functionality with Douglas’ pollution theories to analyze quantitative and qualitative data taken from a print media content analysis. Precautionary conceptions are pre-eminent at the outset of the story, while pollution formulations become more important when the international community accuses Toronto of hosting a plague. This shift in emphasis between the two risk formulations is linked to a change in story frames from a public-health focus to an economic one. The paper concludes that risk is defined, redefined, and deployed as a moral tool and agent of social control by members of Canada’s information elite. Résumé : La flambée de SRAS a Toronto offre l’opportunité d’étudier la façon dont le langage du risque est devenu la base de discussion sur la moralité dans la société moderne canadienne. Cet article rassemble les théories du risque précautionneux d’Ewald avec les théories de la pollution de Douglas afin de procéder à une analyse d’une analyse de contenu quantitative et qualitative de journaux. Quand les journaux Canadiens présentent les premières discussions sur le SRAS, c’est en termes précautionneux. La discussion se fait ensuite de plus en plus en termes de pollution lorsque la communauté internationale accuse Toronto d’héberger une peste. Le changement entre ces deux formulations du risque est lié au fait que ce qui débute comme une histoire à propos de la santé publique devient une histoire économique. Cet article fini par conclure que le risque est défini, redéfini, et utilisé à la fois comme un outil moral et un agent de contrôle social par les membres de l’élite de l’information Canadienne. .

Destination image has been extensively studied in tourism and marketing, but the questions surrounding the discrepancy between the projected (perceptions from the National Tourism Organizations) and perceived destination image (perceptions from tourists) as well as how the discrepancy may influence sustainable experience remain unclear. Poor understanding of the discrepancy may cause tourist confusion and misuse of resources. The aim of this study is to empirically investigate if the perceived (by tourists) and projected (by NTOs) destination image are significantly different in both cognitive and affective aspects. Through a comprehensive social media content analysis of the NTO-generated and tourist-generated-contents (TGC), the current study identifies numerous gaps between the projected and perceived destination image, which offers some important theoretical and practical implications on destination management and marketing.

“If you didn’t take a selfie, did you even vote?”: Embodied mass communication and citizenship models in “I voted” selfies

After participating in US elections, voters have begun to share “I voted” selfies, or networked self-portraits that display their political participation. “I voted” selfies exist at the intersection of competing ideals of citizenship, including dutiful citizenship, which centers civic duty and voting, and self-actualizing citizenship, which focuses on individualized and expressive forms of political participation. I argue that these images can be understood through historically resonant communication practices, namely, as a mediated manifestation of 19th-century political congregations that I term embodied mass communication. To trace how voters perform embodied visions of citizenship through shared practices of digital self-representation, I conducted a content analysis of “I voted” selfies posted to Twitter on US Election Day 2016. In these selfies, voters present their bodies as civic evidence, frame individual representations to signify visual collectives, and creatively contextualize their political participation. Their selfies suggest how representational rituals can reflect and reconstitute citizenship models.
