Mourning “Men Joined in Peril and Purpose”: Working-Class Heroism in News Repair of the Sago Miners’ Story     

Carolyn Kitch 《Critical Studies in Media Communication》2013,30(2):115-131

Initially promising to replicate the story of the 2002 rescue at the Quecreek mine in Pennsylvania, news coverage of the January 2006 coal mine accident in Sago, WV, went terribly wrong when journalists incorrectly reported the miners’ “miracle” survival. Analysis of 761 newspaper, newsmagazine, and broadcast news reports illustrates how journalists corrected a mishandled story, and offers a glimpse into their broader role in constructing politically affirming national mythology. The final story of Sago was one of a rural community with class pride, distinct gender roles, and other “traditional” values presumed lost—a nostalgic parable of blue-collar patriotic sacrifice.  相似文献   

Frame Diversity and Citizen Competence: Towards a Critical Approach to News Quality     

Mauro P. Porto 《Critical Studies in Media Communication》2013,30(4):303-321

This article identifies two basic models of citizen competence (the ignorant citizen and the rational citizen) in which normative theories of journalism and standards of news quality are grounded. I propose the interpreting citizen as an alternative view of citizen competence. According to this model, the availability of diverse interpretive frames in the public realm, particularly in the news media, is an important precondition for enhancing citizen competence. Given flaws in existing standards for evaluating journalism quality, the news media should be judged in terms of their performance in presenting diverse interpretive frames, rather than in terms of informational goals.  相似文献   

The relationship of supportive communication to sex discussion in the home     

Michael R. Neer  Clay Warren 《Communication Research Reports》2013,30(2):154-160

Supportive communication was examined as a component of mothers’ sex discussion with children. Results demonstrated that mothers who communicated supportively were more open and disclosing when discussing sex and were more likely to provide sons with birth control information and instruction than mothers who communicated nonsupportively. The study concludes by raising several issues for future research and sex education pro‐ams for parents.  相似文献   

Majority/minority size and the evaluations of persuasive arguments     

Rick Garlick  Paul A. Mongeau 《Communication Research Reports》2013,30(1):43-53

The present study examines the influence of relative minority size on perceptions of argument quality and attitude change. Strong and weak arguments for both cautious and risky positions were presented in conjunction with information describing the size of minority factions as either small or large. Results demonstrated that cautious argument quality influenced perceptions of argument quality only when the majority advocated a cautious position or when the minority faction was large. Results are discussed in light of their implications for normative and informational influences in group polarization.  相似文献

Qualitative data were obtained from 68 patients who had received a message they perceived as negative information from a health care provider. Through grounded theory methodology, patient accounts were examined to reveal four provider strategies for breaking bad news. This investigation underscores the importance of using effective communication strategies to achieve patient satisfaction and compliance.  相似文献   

立片言以警策:新闻标题的炼字锻句问题     

吴礼权 《阜阳师范学院学报(社会科学版)》2013,(3):11-16

现代传播媒介已不仅限于传统的平面媒体(报纸)一端,传媒形式的多样化特别是网络的发达,使得各种新闻的总量成为真正的海量。在这信息爆炸的时代,在各种新闻"泛滥成灾"的情况下,如何将某一有价值的新闻及时有效地传达给受众,让其发挥应有的作用,就成为考验新闻写作者或新闻编辑者语言表达智慧的一道无可回避的试题。为了使所要传播的新闻最大限度地为受众了解,新闻写作者或新闻编辑者就必须在新闻标题的炼字锻句方面下功夫,注意表达技巧,在第一时间内迅速抓住受众的注意力。新闻标题需要讲究表达技巧,但要遵循"自然"、"贴切"的原则,不能"为修辞而修辞"。  相似文献   

“People Killing People on the News”: Young Children's Descriptions of Frightening Television News Content     

Karyn Riddle  Joanne Cantor  Sahara Byrne  Emily Moyer-Gusé 《Communication quarterly》2013,61(2):278-294

This article investigated children's fear responses to everyday exposure to the news in the absence of a recent crisis or major event. From March to May 2006, a survey was conducted of 218 kindergarten through 6th-grade children regarding their fright reactions to the news. Results showed that 35.3% of children reported being frightened by the news. Reporting on what frightened them in their own words, children most frequently mentioned natural disasters (24.7% of children frightened), followed by kidnappings (10.4% of children frightened), the Iraq War (7.8%), and burglaries (7.8%). A qualitative analysis suggests that some children have vivid memories of disturbing news content. The accessibility of television in children's households was not related to news exposure or fear. Implications for parental guidance and research methods are discussed.  相似文献

随着竞技体育的开展越来越普及,许多项目都在走职业化发展道路,在对市场资源争夺与竞争空前激烈的前提下遇到了各种各样的新问题,其中之一就是项目如何定位,以什么形象走入市场,也就是对赛事如何进行推广、宣传和运作,媒体在开发和培育有市场潜力的职业体育赛事过程中起到了哪些作用,本文试图对这些问题进行分析与讨论。结果认为,新闻媒体为职业体育赛事提供了一个宣传与创作的平台,当前火爆的职业体育赛事如NBA、世界杯足球赛、网球大满贯、拳王争霸赛等都是与新闻媒体的介入分不开的。职业体育赛事的推广与发展需要借助媒体的力量,媒体对体育赛事的报道,能引起广大观众的关注,激发体育迷的热情并“制造”明星。媒体也因报道赛事而增加了自身的价值与读者数量,新闻媒体与职业体育赛事之间建立起来的相互作用、相互依赖的关系越来越密切。  相似文献
