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

Lisa Sparks  Melinda M. Villagran  Jessica Parker-Raley  Cory B. Cunningham 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2013,41(2):177-196

This investigation takes a patient-centered approach to examining strategies physicians use to deliver bad news to patients. 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   

学术期刊对科研成果的评价机制研究   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

徐行 《技术与创新管理》2008,29(6)

在学术期刊上公开发表的科研论文是科研成果的主要表现形式之一,学术期刊作为科研成果发表的媒介,其科研评价功能是明确的,主要体现在论文发表前的评审过程和论文发表后的反响情况.利用期刊的各种计量指标评价科研成果适应了科研管理科学化、制度化、有效化的时代要求.通过分析核心期刊科研评价的利弊,提出采用综合评价、明确期刊与论文间的关系、区别3种不同层次的评价对象、借鉴分级管理办法、进行校内优秀论文评审、推行论文代表作制、区别评价教学和科研人员的学术成绩,考虑科研成果评价的多面性等8个方面改进学术期刊科研评价机制的措施.  相似文献   

《中文新闻信息分类与代码》复分表评介——兼与《中国图书馆分类法》比较     

周冰 《图书情报工作》2009,53(15):101-91

《中文新闻信息分类与代码》是我国第一部以国家标准形式颁布的新闻分类法,由于主表类目只有5 000多条,复分表在提高标引能力方面具有重要作用。以新闻信息分类为例,对《中文新闻信息分类与代码》的复分表进行较为全面的介绍,并与《中国图书馆分类法》(文中简称“《中图法》”)的复分表进行比较,体会到《中文新闻信息分类与代码》复分表具有鲜明的新闻特色,使用方便。同时也提出复分表中的一些可商榷之处及相应的建议,供完善新闻分类法参考。  相似文献   

试析新闻媒体对职业体育赛事推广与发展的影响   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

朱海燕 《首都体育学院学报》2006,18(5):97-98

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   

《思想新闻》与民众教育：杜威的方案可行吗     

丁道勇 《复旦教育论坛》2023,21(1):5-12

《思想新闻》旨在通过知识传播来提升民众的理智水平,增进其参与社会公共事务的意愿和能力,以达到应对民主危机的目的。该方案的原理,贯穿在杜威的教育理论当中,是杜威民众教育方案的一个缩影。尽管该方案放弃了古代精英教育的传统,在设计上也有让人存疑之处,但是《思想新闻》的确代表了一种应对民主危机的方案。对于民众处境的关切,是教育哲学研究的一个出发点。  相似文献
