Abstract This paper offers an analysis of the nature of information related to religion presented on television news programs in contemporary Japan. The author maintains that information coming from television programs plays an influential role in formulating people’s perception of religion. This includes not only incidents that have occurred in the case of new religions (e.g., Aum Shinrikyō and Hō no Hana Sanpōgyō), but also events related to well-established religious traditions, such as Buddhist and Shintō denominations, and religions outside of Japan, in particular Islam. Through the use of data on TV broadcasting compiled by a database-producing company, the author examines information about religion aired on the news programs of NHK (Nihon Hōsō Kyōkai) and Nihon TV. In this context, the author categorizes four types of religion-related programs that are aired on TV: (1) religious programs provided by religious organizations themselves; (2) general educational programs that feature religious elements; (3) news reporting on religion; and (4) religious programs as entertainment programs. The author concludes that news reporting on religion in Japan today follows predictable patterns, contributing to what he calls “the stereotyping of religion.”

Television is a mass media which has always been a top priority for the community in getting accurate and reliable information. The presence of television will always be awaited by the public to convey all information, especially when natural disasters occur in an area. This article tries to provide an analysis of the news program produced by the TVRI Public Broadcasting Institutions. This study uses the framing analysis method, with a four-dimensional structural approach to the news text as a framing device from Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki. This analysis aims to understand and then describe how reality is constructed by TVRI broadcasting institutions in the frame of television news programs on natural disasters, earthquakes and sunbaths in Central Sulawesi. The results of the analysis with framing showed that TVRI's reporting through the special program of natural disaster recovery "Sulteng Bangkit" showed prominence on the government's role in the process of handling and restoring conditions after the earthquake and tsunami natural disaster in Central Sulawesi.

Televised violence, especially during sporting events and news reporting, is increasingly implicated in imitative and aggressive behavior exhibited by children. This behavior often results in severe injury. We are all aware of the numerous injuries sustained by children participating in such contact sports as ice hockey and football, yet the number of such injuries due to identification with sports heroes and imitation of their exploits is unknown. The corresponding literature on this aspect of imitative behavior is nonexistent. During the late summer and fall of 1974, the daredevil exploits of Evel Knievel received extensive media coverage, especially on the sports segments of television news programs.

Abstract To reduce negative emotional responses and to stimulate prosociality, constructive journalism promotes the inclusion of positive emotions and solutions in news. This study experimentally tested whether including those elements indeed increased prosocial intentions and behavior among children, and whether negative emotions and self-efficacy are mediators in this regard. To this end, children (N = 468; 9 to 13 years old) were exposed to an emotion-based, solution-based, or non-constructive news video. Results showed that emotion-based and solution-based news reduced children’s negative emotions compared to non-constructive news. No direct effects for prosocial intentions were found, but solution-based news led to less prosocial behavior (i. e., money donated) than emotion-based and non-constructive news. Moreover, negative emotions served as a mediator, self-efficacy did not. The more negative emotions were elicited by a news story, the higher the prosocial intentions and behavior. In conclusion, a constructive style of reporting helps to reduce children’s negative emotional responses but subsequently hinders prosociality.

In the last decades, sports journalism has become one of the most rapidly growing parts of the media world. The reason is simple — right now sport holds the unique position in contemporary society. Governments, transnational companies, businesses — all are interested in promoting sports events. With this, coverage of tournaments and games has reached the global level. One of the main drivers of this hype is the mutual interest in hundreds of dozens of sports events that is shared all over the world. And the second driver is vast technical possibilities for transmitting information in all forms. Nowadays, new channels of mass communication are taking away significant part of the audience from the traditional sports broadcasting leader — television. News programs that once were a main source of the relevant sports information now are giving way to internet portals and digital media feeds. In this paper we thoroughly explore factors that have led to such drastic changes. Firstly, compared with the new media sources of information (e.g. Internet media) the core flaws of the television news are the following: loss of efficiency, delayed timing, an abundance of themes, format limits, expensive newsroom, high competition, almost zero feedback. Yet, experts in the sports news departments are relentlessly seeking for a new way to represent information. What sports news can give to the audience? It may be some unique content, original insights, “story behind story”, deep analysis, and, of course, high professional qualities of the sports news team.

In the 50 years of Australian television, the one constant in the nightly schedule has been the news. The story of television news is usually told from the perspective of the news consumer. Even when the set of professional practices that produce news is analysed, the frame used is usually that from in front of the box rather than behind the camera and microphone. The result is that the process of reporting and the way it has changed over time has been given less attention than it deserves. Now, as the medium continues the transition from analogue to digital, Australian television news reporting is undergoing a series of shifts — in its methods of delivery and the tasks that reporters perform. These changes affect the nature of journalistic practice, which in turn bears on the product audiences receive.

In recent years there has been a slight tendency for television network news programs to increase the amount of soft news presented mostly during the last one-third of the newscast. Content analysis of the Vanderbilt Television News Abstracts from 1972 through 1987 shows that, although all networks did increase the amount of soft news, this type news remained a small part of the newscast. Soft news is defined as stories that focus on a human interest topic, feature or nonpolicy issue.
