This paper contributes to the growing literature on how “new media” is influencing “old media” by tracking references to an extensive list of political blogs in stories run by seventeen prominent print media outlets during the last ten years. The findings presented here show that although journalists frequently use political bloggers as sources in their news coverage, they only reference certain blogs in certain ways at certain times. To be precise, journalists turn to political blogs primarily during national election campaigns and this turn is commonly in the direction of a relatively small group of interactive, liberal blogs.

Abstract. Opinion polls are a well-established part of political news coverage, especially during election campaigns. At the same time, there has been controversial debate over the possible influences of such polls on voters’ electoral choices. The most prominent influence discussed is the bandwagon effect: It states that voters tend to support the expected winner of an upcoming election, and use polls to determine who the likely winner will be. This study investigated the mechanisms underlying the effect. In addition, we inquired into the role of past electoral performances of a candidate and analyzed how these (as well as polls) are used as heuristic cues for the assessment of a candidate’s personal characteristics. Using an experimental design, we found that both polls and past election results influence participants’ expectations regarding which candidate will succeed. Moreover, higher competence was attributed to a candidate, if recipients believe that the majority of voters favor that candidate. Through this attribution of competence, both information about prior elections and current polls shaped voters’ electoral preferences.

Implementation Delay

ObjectivesIn 2012, Australia was the first country in the world to introduce plain or standardised tobacco packaging, coupled with larger graphic health warnings. This policy was fiercely opposed by industry. Media coverage can be an influential contributor to public debate, and both public health advocates and industry sought media coverage for their positions. The aim of this study was to measure the print media coverage of Australian’s plain packaging laws, from inception to roll-out, in major Australian newspapers.MethodsThis study monitored mainstream Australian print media (17 newspapers) coverage of the plain packaging policy debate and implementation, over a 7-year period from January 2008 to December 2014. Articles (n=701) were coded for article type, opinion slant and topic(s).DesignContent analysis.ResultsCoverage of plain packaging was low during preimplementation phase (2008–2009), increasing sharply in the lead into legislative processes and diminished substantially after implementation. Articles covered policy rationale, policy progress and industry arguments. Of the news articles, 96% were neutrally framed. Of the editorials, 55% were supportive, 28% were opposing, 12% were neutral and 5% were mixed.ConclusionsProtracted political debate, reflected in the media, led to an implementation delay of plain packaging. While Australian media provided comprehensive coverage of industry arguments, news coverage was largely neutral, whereas editorials were mostly supportive or neutral of the policy. Countries seeking to implement plain packaging of tobacco should not be deterred by the volume of news coverage, but should actively promote the evidence for plain packaging in the media to counteract the arguments of the tobacco industry.

Los medios digitales han sustituido progresivamente al papel como soporte de comunicación. Han hecho necesaria la existencia de dispositivos mecánicos para la lectura del los documentos que antes eran directamente manipulados por el lector. En el papel la disposición gráfica de textos e imágenes dependía de cada libro. La elección del tamaño, del formato y del color se hacía en función de la estructura de la obra. Sin embargo, en la era digital, la disposición gráfica depende del dispositivo que pone a disposición del lector los documentos. A pesar de sus ventajas evidentes para reordenar la información, han incorporado procedimientos interactivos de los medios impresos que guardaban relación con la habilidad del lector para mirar, leer y comprender la composición. Este trabajo analiza la pervivencia de los modelos gráficos de la interacción impresa en estos nuevos soportes.Digital media has gradually replaced paper as a medium of communication. These new media have need the existence of mechanical devices for reading documents that until now were directly manipulated by the reader. In printed paper graphical layout of text and images depended on each book. The choice of size, color and proportion was a consequence of the structure of the work. However, in digital age, graphic layout depends on the device that makes available documents to the reader. Despite its obvious advantages to reorder the information, have incorporated interactive procedures from print media that were relevant to the reader's ability to see, read and understand the whole layout. This paper analyzes the survival of graphical interaction models in these new media

New Perspective

Aturan mengenai pers di Indonesia diatur oleh Undang-undang No.40 tahun 1999 tentang pers. Segala bentuk aktivitas jurnalisme, baik yang menggunakan media cetak, media penyiaran, dan media baru dilindungi dan dijamin oleh Undang-undang Pers. Pada perkembangannya, praktik jurnalistik pada media online tidak sesederhana formulasi pada undang-undang Pers. Ruang lingkup media baru yang menghadirkan sedemikian banyak kebaruan menghadirkan persoalan dilematis karena karakter media yang berbeda. Karakter media yang berbeda membuat aktivitas jurnalistik pada media baru juga mengalami pergeseran dan dinamika yang luar biasa. Hal ini pula yang kemudian menghadirkan persoalan dilematis di wilayah normatif dan etis. Berangkat dari asumsi tersebut, penelitian ini bermaksud ingin melihat bagaimana posisi Undang-undang Pers dalam ekosistem media baru. Penelitian ini berusaha menjawab posisi tersebut dalam dua aras. Pertama, penelitian ini hendak mengelaborasi bagaimana posisi Undang-undang Pers dalam konteks hukum media di Indonesia, baik dalam perspektif lex spesialis maupun perspektif lex generalis. Kedua, posisi Undang-undang Pers dalam penelitian ini dilihat dalam konteks empirik pada berbagai kasus jurnalisme media online di Indonesia. Konteks empirik ini lebih melihat pada bagaimana fakta yang terjadi di wilayah hukum dalam menanggapi berbagai persoalan terkait pers di media online.  Indonesian Law No. 40 in 1999 on Press regulate Indonesia press activity in print media, electronic media, and online media.

Commentary: The power of the print media lies not simply in its capacity to attack opponents, but in its unwillingness to grant timely or sufficient right of reply in its Op-Ed pages. Perhaps the greater regulation advocated by Finkelstein would begin to change this. Amid all the restructuring and the rivalry, the opportunity for a more comprehensive review of journalistic regulation, broached by Finkelstein, may well slip away in the cross currents of the Convergence Review, the prospect of new media mergers and acquisitions, precarious federal parliamentary politics, and the turmoil of the broadsheets themselves. Yet it is a debate that we have to have; like our protracted debt crisis, it cannot be postponed indefinitely.

The paper presents results of media monitoring during the election campaigns held in Bulgaria between 2014 and 2019 – after the adoption of the new Electoral Code in 2014 until the last local elections in 2019. The main research question is to what extent the media as mediators in the election campaigns know, respect and comply with the legal regulations concerning their activities during such campaigns. The results outline the models of legal socialization of the Fourth Estate in the election campaigns. They also show patterns of compliance and violation of the legal framework. In addition, they reflect the way in which the media work to change the regulations in question. The research sample included between 117 and 180 media service providers in various election campaigns. There were representatives of all media subfields – traditional media, new media, yellow media, brown media, Prokopiev’s media, Peevski’s media, as well as Russian and American “propaganda media”. The period of research includes almost two full election cycles ‒ two parliamentary elections, two European elections, two local elections, and one presidential election which was held after the clear definition of the legal framework for media in the 2014 Electoral Code. No changes were made to this framework during the study and prior to the publication of this paper. This leads to conclusions regarding the electoral legislation and the regulation of the media system in the electoral process.
