Complete evaluation of anti-drug abuse campaigns should examine not only the messages created, but the programming content which makes up the information environment for those receiving these messages. A content analysis of one major information source (prime time TV) indicates that drug-relevant information is being disseminated and should be taken into account in planning information strategies. Commercial appeals promoting chemical agent use and programming which largely neglects abuse potentials suggest cautions for the strategy planner and questions for media programmers.

<p>After more than a decade with no quantitative update on the progress of advertising's integration of disabled characters this study found 29 out of 1,671 prime-time commercials analyzed included images of disability. Although the raw number is only 1.7% of the total sample it represents a 200% increase over 1999 totals.&nbsp; The portrayals were much more likely to be major characters than background roles and the disability depicted in the commercials tended to be from a more diverse set of conditions than it was in the late 1980s.&nbsp; Based on an approximately equal sample of television programming the ability-integrated advertising (AI advertising) appeared more frequently on cable channels (52%) than network channels (39%).&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Keywords: ability-integrated advertising, content analysis, disability and advertising, SADP</em></p>

Over the past decade, the European Union has lost the trust of many citizens. This article investigates whether and how media information, in particular visibility and tonality, impact trust in the European Union among citizens. Combining content analysis and Eurobarometer survey data from 10 countries between 2004 and 2015, we study both direct and moderating media effects. Media tone and visibility have limited direct effects on trust in the European Union, but they moderate the relation between trust in national institutions and trust in the European Union. This relation is amplified when the European Union is more visible in the media and when media tone is more positive towards the European Union, whereas it is dampened when media tone is more negative. The findings highlight the role of news media in the crisis of trust in the European Union.

Abstract: Waqf law can be categorized as a living law and potential of waqf can be written. The law of the living does not fully comply with regulations. This problem can lead to law-enforcement-representation issues then formulated into the question: How to advocate community against the Waqf Law? It contains public knowledge, public awareness and public obedience. Assuming sharia is natural law, it is eternal and does not change. In the case, sharia is not in accordance with waqf. The provisions of waqf law are obtained through ushul fiqh with analogical deductive reasoning patterns. The rest, the provisions regarding waqf agreement are obtained from human preferences about the general good. Waqf law is based ruh al-hukm, the spirit of teachings, and maqashid al-shariah. It is more important to be developed to be more responsive to people's priorities and needs. Opportunities for enforcement of waqf law are very large, so that at that time the community complied with waqf law. This research is a descriptive study, which analyzes waqf as a system, as well as a subsystem of a wider system. This analysis, explains the process of society from knowledge to aware and finally to be obedient. The data source used consists of library materials both in the form of documents, books, and scientific writings and other relevant information. Data collection is carried out with literature study techniques, with the approval of the principle of relevance and novelty of the information collected. The analysis is content analysis (classification, interpretation and inference findings). Abstrak: Hukum wakaf dapat dikategorikan sebagai the living law. Sekalipun demikian, terdapat usaha-usaha untuk mengaktualisasikan potensi wakaf. Hal ini mengisyaratkan, bahwa hukum-yang-hidup tidak selalu tegak secara teoritis. Sehubungan dengan itu, masalah ini dapat diidentifikasi sebagai masalah penegakan-hukum-perwakafan. Maka masalah ini dirumuskan ke dalam pertanyaan: Bagaimana kepatuhan hukum masyarakat terhadap Undang-undang Wakaf? Penelitian ini difokus­kan pada unsur-unsur mengenai pengetahuan masyarakat (legal knowledge), kesadaran masyarakat (legal awareness), dan kepatuhan masyarakat (legal obidience) terhadap UU Wakaf. Dengan asumsi syariah merupakan hukum kodrat (natural law), sehingga sifatnya kekal dan tidak berubah.  Sekalipun demikian, dalam kasus wakaf, syariah tidak menentukan secara tegas menge­nai wakaf. Ketentuan hukum wakaf diperoleh melalui ushul fiqh, dengan pola pena­laran deduktif analogis. Selebihnya, ketentuan mengenai mekanisme wakaf diper­oleh berdasar­kan preferensi manusia mengenai kebaikan umum (public good). Hukum wakaf lebih didasarkan pada ruh al-hukm, semangat ajaran, dan maqashid al-syariah. Sehingga wakaf lebih memungkinkan untuk dikembangkan menjadi lebih responsif terhadap tuntu­tan dan kebutuhan masyarakat. Peluang penegakan hukum wakaf sangat besar, sehingga pada gilirannya masyarakat patuh terhadap hukum wakaf. Penelitian ini merupa­kan penelitian deskriptif, yakni menganalisis wakaf sebagai sebuah sistem, seka­ligus subsistem dari sistem yang lebih luas. Analisis tersebut, dideskripsikan proses masya­rakat dari tahu menjadi sadar dan akhirnya menjadi patuh terhadap hukum wakaf. Sum­ber data yang digunakan berupa bahan kepustakaan, baik berupa dokumen, buku, dan tulisan-tulisan ilmiah serta informasi lain yang relevan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan teknik studi kepustakaan, dengan menekankan prinsip relevansi dan kebaruan dari informasi yang dihimpun. Adapun analisisnya adalah analisis isi (content-analysis), dengan langkah: klasifikasi data, interpretasi data, serta inferensi temuan.

The online space is rich in playful experiences and can provide many pleasures and lessons to their younger users. However, it is true that children cannot always handle the advertising noise and other adverse effects resulting from excessive or inappropriate use of technology and particularly the game pages. This article aims to confirm the advertising pressure that affects children in Brazil and Spain when playing on Internet game pages. Measuring advertising pressure in online games by the theoretical and methodological framework for content analysis applied to the game pages visited by a group of Brazilian and Spanish children 9 to 11 years. This research showed that online games are occupied by a considerable amount of publicity, which repeatedly blocks access and disrupts key moments of young players with unwanted or not interesting messages. Like in television programming we must put more attention on quality and the amount of ads in online playing. So if there is a concern with the commercial content of children's programming on television similar reasons demand prompt and adequate attention to those games pages. Abusive ads damage advertiser’s reputation, affects gaming experiences and disturb the playtime. Game managers, advertisers, educators and families may use children opinions that are actually successful. El espacio online es rico en experiencias lúdicas y puede proporcionar muchos placeres y aprendizajes a sus usuarios más jóvenes. Sin embargo es cierto que los niños no siempre pueden manejar el ruido publicitario y otros efectos nocivos derivados del uso excesivo o inapropiado de la tecnología, y en particular de las webs de juegos. Este artículo tiene como objetivo confirmar la presión publicitaria que afecta a niños de Brasil y España cuando se entretienen en portales de Internet con juegos. Para medir la presión publicitaria en los juegos actuales se recurre al marco teórico y metodológico del análisis de contenido sobre una muestra de webs visitadas por un grupo de niños brasileños y españoles de 9 a 11 años. Esta investigación evidencia que los juegos on-line son obstruidos por una cantidad considerable de anuncios que repetidamente bloquean el acceso e interrumpen momentos claves con mensajes no deseados o sin interés para los pequeños jugadores. De la misma forma que hay una preocupación con el contenido comercial de las programaciones infantiles en la televisión, se espera una pronta y suficiente atención a aquellas webs de juegos que lesionan la imagen de los anunciantes, entorpecen la experiencia del juego y sobre todo afectan a quienes están formándose como ciudadanos antes que consumidores. Se comprueba que las opiniones de este grupo de usuarios son acertadas y relevantes para comunicadores, profesores y familiares.

Abstract: Political transition in Indonesia since 1998 has created uncertain situation for most Indonesian people. Moreover, the hard economic condition has multiplied the number of people living below the poverty line. In these circumstances, the light entertainments such as situation comedy, which blends the portrait of ordinary people and their quaint life style, occupied the prime time of television programming in Indonesia. This paper discusses the popularity of the situation comedy Bajaj Bajuri (bajaj literally means “two-passenger pedicab motor with scooter machine”) in contemporary Indonesia. This series is about the daily life of Bajuri’s (bajaj’s driver) family and their lower class neighbours in the edge of metropolitan Jakarta (the capital city of Indonesia). Therefore, this paper focuses on the representation of the marginalised people and how television constructed the boundary of marginality. This paper argues that situation comedy is not only reinforcing stereotype of the lower class group but also transgressing the stereotypical image of the lower class by parodying and abusing popular discourse.

A remarkable increase has currently been happening in social media platform content related to COVID-19. Users have created large volumes of content on various topics over a short time, interacting with people in real-time. This also has transformed social media into an indispensable information source for any crisis. This study aims to explore the information content on COVID-19 disseminated through social media and to discover prominent topics in shares on COVID-19. In this regard, we have retrieved 17,542 tweets shared in Turkish. A content analysis of social media shares has been carried out, with latent semantic indexing and network analyses being performed to detect the relationships and interactions among shares. As a result, the most shared topics have been concluded to be on yasak [lockdown], tedbir [precaution], karantina [quarantine], and vaka [case], with communication being frequently passed using this semantic string and information exchanges being faster within the network. In addition, shares related to hygiene, masks, and distancing were determined to have occurred less than shares related to precautions, rules, cases, and lockdowns. The number of likes and retweets for content with social propaganda such as #evdekal [stayathome], #evdehayatvar [lifeathome], and #birliktebaşaracağız [togetherwesucceed] were low and not found in a semantic string. This suggests social propaganda through social media to have had a limited impact on epidemic management. In conclusion, identifying the prominent issues in social media posts and the characteristics of social media networks will help decision-makers determine appropriate policies for controlling and preventing the pandemic’s spread.
