Les organes qui assurent les communications de masse peuvent‐ils maitriser les tendances totalitaires de la société de masse? L'auteur propose un modèle opérationnel pour l'analyse de cette question. Elle situe le noeud du problème comme étant la manifestation de change‐ments dans le rapport entre le journalisme politique et les institutions politiques. La nature de ce lien est cruciale pour que les organes de communication exercent leur fonction de critiques. D'autonome, ce rapport devient dépendant, à mesure que la société de classes devient une société de masse. De nouvelles formes de journalisme apparaissent, tels que le journalisme de prestige et le journalisme administratif, ce dernier devenant semblable au journalisme soviétique. C'est ainsi que le rôle de critique de l'organe de communication est mis en danger. Le fait pour les journalistes et pour d'autres groupes ayant des intéréts semblables de s'associer leur procurera peutêtre une mesure de protection.

Quoique les études publiées dans le présent numéro de Recherches sociographiqu.es portent toutes sur les communications de masse, on doit reconnaître que, dans leurs thèmes comme dans leurs méthodes, elles présentent un caractère assez disparate. Aussi il a semblé utile de les faire précéder d'un exposé sommaire de l'état de la recherche sur les mass média au Canada et au Québec et des problèmes auxquels elle est confrontée. Ce tour d'horizon devrait permettre au lecteur de mieux situer chacune des contributions à ce numéro et d'en mieux apprécier l'originalité et la pertinence.

Things or events about politics are always attracted the attention of mass media to be news materials. The news about political actors in the mass media will form the self-image of the political actors in the eyes of the public Current media conditions are widely used as a political vehicle, made the news presented by the media is difficult to objective even the media prioritize the interests of this media. It can affect the image of someone who became the object of news. The formulation of the problem in this research is how the reception of the audience towards the image of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama through the news in mass media and what the factors that can affect the audience in the reception to the image of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama through the mass media. The purpose of this study is to determine how the reception of audience to image Basuki Tjahaja Purnama through mass media and also what factors affect the audence during the reception. Researchers used Stuart Hall's reception analysis theory to know how reception of audience to the image Basuki Tjahaja Purnama in mass media. The results obtained are the researchers found two sources who are in the position of the dominant-hegemonic and and four others are in the position of the negotiated reading. Researchers did not find the audience included in the category of the oppositional reading. The conclusion of this study is that not always the theory of reception analysis proposed by Stuart Hall can produce three audiences positions. Its because, audience is dynamic, not static. Then, factors that influence the reception of audiences are four, media usage that includes the frequency of news consuming and media selection, religion, culture and fanaticism.

The study of various types of programming is essential for critical analysis of the media and also offers revealing perspectives on society's cultural values, preoccupations, behavior, and myths. This handbook provides a systematic, in-depth approach to the study of media genres - including reality programs, game shows, situation comedies, soap operas, film noir, news programs, and more. The author addresses such questions as: Have there been shifts in the formula of particular genres over time? What do these shifts reveal about changes in culture? How and why do new genres - such as reality T

In fast-changing scientific fields like biotechnology, new information and discoveries should influence the balance of risks and rewards and their associated media coverage. This study investigates how reporters interpret and report such information and, in turn, whether they frame the public debate about biotechnology. Mass media coverage of medical and agricultural biotechnology is compared over a 12-year period and in two different countries: the United States and the United Kingdom. We examine whether media have consistently chosen to emphasize the potential risks over the benefits of these applications, or vice versa, and what information might drive any relevant changes in such frames. We find that the two sets of technologies have been framed differently—more positive for medical applications, more negative for agricultural biotechnology. This result holds over time and across different geographic locations. We also find that international events influence media coverage but have been locally framed. This local newsworthiness extends to both medical and agricultural applications. We conclude that such coverage could have led to differences in public perception of the two sets of technology: more negative (or ambivalent) for agricultural, positive for medical applications. Our findings suggest that understanding news frames, and the events that drive them, provides some insight into the long-term formation of public opinion as influenced by news coverage.

There's no doubt that globalization and presentation of neologisms have extended in later a long time as innovation has created more quickly than ever individuals communicate and, in some cases, make modern words or expressions which can effectively spread all over the world and gotten to be well known much appreciated to the web and mass media. The contemporary investigation aimed to discover the linguistic evaluation of neologism associated with Coronavirus (COVID-19). Recently, a brand-new coronavirus disorder COVID-19 has emerged as a breathing contamination with widespread difficulty for worldwide public fitness hazards. However, with every passing day, an increasing number of showed instances are being stated global which has alarmed the worldwide government consisting of the World Health Organization (WHO). In this examine, the researcher makes use of the time period neologism this means that the coinage of latest phrases. Neologism performed a widespread function in the course of the records of epidemic and pandemic. The consciousness of this examine is at the phenomenon of neologism to discover the introduction of latest phrases in the course of the outbreak of COVID-19.

The literature on the effect of exposure to media violence (including exposure to violent pornography) on aggressive behavior is critically reviewed. Evidence and theoretical arguments regarding short-term and long-term effects are discussed. Three points are emphasized: 1. Exposure to violence in laboratory and field experiments is as likely to affect nonaggressive antisocial behavior as it does aggressive behavior. The pattern is consistent with a sponsor effect rather than a modeling effect: an experimenter who shows violent films creates a permissive atmosphere; 2. the message that is learned from the media about when it is legitimate to use violence is not much different from the message learned from other sources, with the exception that illegitimate violence is more likely to be punished in media presentations; 3. the fact that violent criminals tend to be versatile—they commit nonviolent crimes as well—is inconsistent with explanations that emphasize proviolence socialization (from the media or other sources). I conclude that exposure to television violence probably does have a small effect on violent behavior for some viewers, possibly because the media directs viewer's attention to novel forms of violent behavior that they would not otherwise consider.

Mass media plays a crucial role in information distribution and thus in the political market and public policy making. Theory predicts that information provided by mass media reflects the media's incentives to provide news to different types of groups in society, and affects these groups?influence in policy-making. We use data on agricultural policy from 60 countries, spanning a wide range of development stages and media markets, to test these predictions. We find that, in line with theoretical predictions, public support to agriculture is strongly affected by the structure of the mass media. In particular, a greater role of the private mass media in society is associated with policies which benefit the majority more: it reduces taxation of agriculture in poor countries and reduces subsidization of agriculture in rich countries, ceteris paribus. The evidence is also consistent with the hypothesis that increased competition in commercial media reduces transfers to special interest groups and contributes to more efficient public policies

This article focuses on recent trends in the Italian mass media. In broadcasting the first pirate stations challenged the RAI's monopoly in the first half of the 1970s. In the absence of a relevant law, chaos reigned, and gradually Fininvest, owned by Silvio Berlusconi, became the predominant protagonist in private television (in addition to being heavily involved in the media industry as a whole). The Constitutional Court repeatedly called for strict anti-trust measures. Finally, in 1990, parliament approved a new law which in fact merely confirmed the existing situation, i.e. the same company could control up to three national networks (in addition to having substantial interests in others). This law apparently contradicts the Constitutional Court's decisions. The article also analyses recent trends in the press and in the film industry, which, during the last decade, have also been subject to similar ownership concentration phenomena. In the words of a parliamentary commission `the current level of mass media concentration in Italy is now unparalleled in any other country with a market-based economy'.
