There is a long-standing debate about the effects of media-generated stereotypes on receivers’ trust and attitude. However, there is insufficient consensus about their influence on the media receiver’s ecological perspective in determining their extent of trust and attitudes. Drawing an analogy from Differential Susceptibility to Media Effect Model (hereafter DSMM) notion that media effects are conditional and are contingent on differential-susceptibility, this study examines the influence of dispositional and social susceptibility to media. To do so, the study validates the influence of media user’s gender (dispositional susceptibility) and ethnicity (social susceptibility) in determining the outcomes of media-generated stereotypes, media trust (MT), and attitude towards media organization (AO). The survey method has been employed to collect data through a self-administered questionnaire from 1061 university students in public sector institutions in Pakistan. The results provide empirical evidence that media-generated stereotypes are a substantially negative predictor of media trust and attitudes towards the media organization. The results also validate that the influence of the stereotyping manifested by the receiver’s ecological perspective such as ethnicity and gender are crucial determinants of the receiver’s trust and attitudes. Managerially, the study urges that journalistic practices must be more ethnoculturally inclusive, to cope with the contemporary media landscape.

The paper focuses on the problem of new digital generation’s participation in the media consumption process and first of all in television watching under conditions when the contemporary television audience transforms due to the emergence of mobile digital technologies. The digital generation is the most vivid segment of the society in terms of diverse interests and active media consumption; it possesses new selection opportunities and influences the elder generation. This article aims to define the digital generation’s role in contemporary media processes; identify its current functions and current attitude to traditional media, particularly television, as well as Russian telecontent. Methods of researching the media audience also change. The main object of mediametry measurements is now the process, not the result of media consumption. In practice, however, the audience is still viewed as a homogenous mass, not a dynamic system. That is why “mass” calculations cannot be used to judge specific audience needs. It is important not simply to measure views but also to study the audience, taking into account the content and formats of media texts consumed by it within the telecommunication process. The research applies the expert survey method within homogenous groups of young people and focuses on qualitative properties of media consumption, specifically its motivation structure and audience needs. Results of three expert surveys conducted among 17–27 years old journalism students of the Ural Federal University at various times are presented. The motives of telecontent consumption are defined. The paper reveals that the new digital generation relies on the telecontent posted on various online platforms. The youth have a critical attitude towards broadcast television not only because of competition from the new media but also due to low quality of professional media products. Additionally, representatives of the young media audience participate in mass communication processes not only as consumers but also as creators of their own video content.

Atualmente é preciso reavaliar o comportamento do consumidor e seus modos de consumo, pois buscando contribuir para um mundo mais equilibrado, com menos desperdício e impacto ambiental, percebe-se uma maior conscientização da sociedade acerca do que se consome. Neste sentido, este estudo possui como objetivo analisar o comportamento de consumo sustentável e compreender as similaridades e diferenças do consumo de produtos verdes de acadêmicos dos cursos de Administração de uma universidade brasileira e outra, espanhola. Para tanto, utilizou-se o método survey, com uma amostra caracterizada como não-probabilística e por acessibilidade mediante a aplicação de um questionário, que obteve o retorno de 289 respondentes. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi adaptado do estudo desenvolvido por Biswas e Roy (2015), o qual aborda a teoria dos valores de consumo, composta pelo valor funcional, valor social, valor condicional, valor ambiental e valor conhecimento. Os resultados obtidos revelam que, tanto para os acadêmicos brasileiros, quanto para os espanhóis, os constructos valor condicional e valor ambiental apresentaram as maiores médias, enquanto o constructo valor social apresentou uma média baixa. Também se observou que, por um lado, os estudantes brasileiros são mais propensos a adquirir produtos sustentáveis por sugestão de seus grupos sociais e que estão mais preocupados com o fato de que a escassez dos recursos naturais ameace o futuro das gerações posteriores. Por outro lado, os estudantes espanhóis são mais dispostos a comprar produtos de empresas que investem em questões ambientais. ABSTRACTNowadays it is necessary to reevaluate consumer behavior and consumption modes, as seeking to contribute to a more balanced world, with less waste and environmental impact, there is a greater awareness of society about what is consumed. In this sense, this study aims to analyze the sustainable consumption behavior of academics in Administration courses in Brazil and Spain, through comparative research. For this, the survey method was used, with a sample characterized as non-probabilistic and for accessibility through the application of a questionnaire, which obtained the return of 289 respondents. The data collection instrument was adapted from the study developed by Biswas and Roy (2015), which addresses the theory of consumption values, composed of functional value, social value, conditional value, environmental value, and knowledge value. The results obtained reveal that, for both Brazilian and Spanish academics, the conditional value and environmental value constructs had the highest averages, while the social value construct had a low average. It was also noted that, on the one hand, Brazilian students are more likely to purchase sustainable products at the suggestion of their social groups and that they are more concerned that the scarcity of natural resources threatens the future of later generations. On the other hand, Spanish students are more willing to buy products from companies that invest in environmental issues.

This study examines the orientalist influences in the media. Studies that determine the orientalist elements in media content in Turkey are not sufficient. In order to eliminate this deficiency, it was determined as the starting point of the research whether the orientalist stereotypes are still valid today and whether they contain epistemic violence. Based on this problem, some of the advertisements used in tourism promotion in the last 20 years within the framework of the official state policies of the Republic of Turkey are selected. Historical understanding and analytical thinking are adopted. In this direction, cultural context research is conducted using comparative case studies. It is aimed to find out whether the situation defined as self-orientalism in tourism promotion advertisements coincides with Western orientalist stereotypes. Thus, it is desired to provide a new perspective to researchers working on this subject and to present meta-analysis data.
