Have new media editors abandoned the old media ideals? The journalistic values of online newspaper editors

Research question: With the spread of the Internet, which has become a tool in reaching and spreading information in this information age, the change in journalism has become a matter of curiosity with its different dimensions. The purpose of the study was to determine the viewpoints of sports journalists, who guide the written sports media and visual sports media with their thoughts and interpretations and who make important contributions to the field on the present status of the traditional and online journalism in Turkey; and to evaluate their opinions on the future of sports journalism. Research methods: In the context of qualitative research, interviews were made with 6 journalists, who volunteered to contribute to the study, which was conducted with the Interview Technique. The data that were obtained with the interviews were subjected to Content Analysis. Results and Findings: The interviews were examined in detail and were divided into three main themes as “A General Look on Online and Traditional Journalism”, “A General Look on the Future of Traditional Journalism”, and “A General Look on the Future of Online Journalism”. Within the context of these main themes, different sub-themes were formed. As a result, it was emphasized by the participating sports journalists that traditional newspapers had to analyze their contents well, they had to bring good quality to the forefront in their news, there was no internal control mechanisms or the existing ones were inadequate, the academic education was important in building the journalist identity; and they mentioned that they had problems like journalism not being considered reliable, news was printed with commercial concerns, focusing on branch news, and their jobs being carried out under pressure due to various elements. Implications: This study was carried out in order to establish the current status of journalism, the changes in it and the way the sports journalists evaluate these changes. The findings of this study contribute to the field. This study is to be beneficial for the researchers and experts who would like to be informed about the opinions of the renowned sports journalists regarding the traditional and online journalism in Turkey.

The long-term effects of membership in Israeli youth movements on the political socialization of their adolescent members, and their subsequent political ideology and involvement after leaving the movements were studied on a representative sample (N = 1250) of Israeli University students. This research's main contribution to political socialization studies is that it offers a means by which to analyze a socialization effect directed solely at the adolescent, to control (at least statistically) other confounding childhood influences, and to enable relating their adult political ideology to this influence. The wide age range of Israeli students (due to their 3-year army services and need to work) and the size of the control group (those who had never joined a youth movement) helped to surmount many of the difficulties that occur in longitudinal and cohort studies. As with any field study, perfect proof is not feasible. It is impossible to verify if all the socialization agents were accounted for, or whether some spurious correlations had occurred but, within the confines of this research method, the hypotheses, on the whole, were confirmed: (1) Adult political ideologies offormer youth movement members corresponded to their movements' official ideologies, while ideologies of nonmembers were more erratic; (2) political involvement was higher among former youth movement members than among nonmembers. The results are discussed within the lifespan theories of political socialization.

Although much research has been devoted to how political interest is related to different political outcomes, little is known about its influence on attitudes toward immigration. In line with deliberative theory, political interest should facilitate greater exposure to various perspectives via political discussions and other forms of political engagement that, in turn, should contribute to more positive attitude toward those with differing views or backgrounds. Using data from the European Social Survey, including 39 countries across 10 survey rounds 2002–2021, this study shows that political interest is positively related to immigrant acceptance. However, there is moderation effect of conservative values. Being politically interested is associated with a higher probability of holding pro-immigrant attitudes among weak conservatives, while there is no significant association among strong conservatives. This finding can be explained by the motivated cognition theory, which states that individuals tend to seek out and pay more attention to information that supports their strong pre-existing ideologies. For individuals with ideologies that predispose them to adopt very negative attitudes toward immigration (strong conservatives), being politically interested might entail a greater exposure and attention to ideology-congruent perspectives and, as a result, confirmation of initial predispositions.

In Lebanon, within the spread of digital technology, online journalism has entered the local media landscape. The diffusion of several kinds of newspapers online in English and French has contributed to the creation of a new kind of journalism addressing both an international audience and the Lebanese diaspora. While 'traditional' newspapers in Arabic address mainly Lebanese and Arab readers, online newspapers direct their attention not only to the metropolitan upper middle class, but to the diaspora and to a foreign audience. The online Lebanese press is not simply the web version of traditional newspapers. The de velopment of digital technologies gave rise to new forms and styles of communi cation and led to radical transformations in the idea of information itself. As pointed out by Gonzales-Quijano (2003: 67):

Research problem: This study is trying to examine to what extent online journalism in the Arab world has adopted biased coverage of the United States. The study hopes to provide a current assessment of how the US is portrayed in Arab world online journalism. This valid, updated information will enable researchers and communicators alike to better understand not only what is being done, but may lead to ways of providing a solid basis for better dealing with American issues and images in the future. Research Hypotheses: There are differences among web sites (whether biased or not) in image type, covered topics, US image, used evidences, main concentration, ways of distortion, salience, main issue, news values, attraction tools, included figures. There is a positive correlation between image bias (totally biased, totally objective, somehow objective/biased) and image type (negative, neutral, positive). There is a correlation between website affiliation (Arab and non-Arab websites) and website bias, US image and image type (negative, neutral, positive) of the United States. There is a correlation between US image and used appeals, evidence, evidence type and main concentration at the materials. Research Methodology: Eight online news websites were been selected among 14 are considered the most important news websites at the Arab world based on the nomination of some experts in this field. News and editorial materials at the first page and internal topics which had any signs at the front pages were also analyzed.

The development of information technology and the internet has significantly transformed the landscape of media and journalism. Traditional journalism, which relied on print and electronic broadcasting, has evolved into digital journalism supported by online platforms. This change has had a profound impact on the professionalism and credibility of journalists. This research aims to analyze the paradigm shift from traditional journalism to digital journalism and explore its impact on journalistic professionalism and credibility. The methods used in this study are literature review and comparative analysis. In the literature review, we examine the relevant literature on the paradigm shift in journalism and its impact on journalistic professionalism and credibility. Comparative analysis is carried out by comparing the characteristics of traditional journalism and digital journalism and analyzing the changes that have occurred. The results of the study indicate that the paradigm shift from traditional journalism to digital journalism has changed the role of journalists in gathering, editing and delivering news. Digital journalism provides greater freedom and flexibility for journalists in creating content, but it also brings new challenges related to the validity and credibility of information. Journalists today are faced with demands to adapt to new technologies, master algorithms, and build a strong online presence.

Excellence in Online Journalism: Exploring Current Practices in an Evolving Environment. David A. Craig. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage, 2011. 180 pp. $39.95 pbk.For journalists, the Internet offers limitless space, multiple media forms, and constant deadlines. David Craig's Excellence in Online Journalism moves beyond asking How do we do journalism online? to focus on a related but perhaps more significant question: What will online journalism look like when we do it really, really well?Craig, associate dean for academic affairs at the University of Oklahoma's Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, acknowledges that at some level excellence in online journalism has much in common with excellence in traditional journalism. The goals are the same: helping citizens know well in the public sphere, and fostering community. But, he notes, the Internet presents both challenges and opportunities for those pursuing journalistic excellence.This well-organized and highly readable book suggests four general standards of excellence for journalists in the digital age:* Speed and accuracy with depth in breaking news* Comprehensiveness in content* Open-endedness in story development* The centrality of conversationCraig follows best practices for today's journalism by using a variety of story forms to put forth his case. Sidebars, lists, Q&As, personality profiles and much more help break up the book and keep the reader engaged. In doing the research for this book, Craig interviewed more than thirty award-winning online journalists, editors, and producers from a variety of media outlets, ranging from the New York Times and MSNBC to neighborhood bloggers. Their war stories add both authenticity and accessibility to the book. Also, Craig provides tables throughout, with at-a-glance summaries of various topics, including the news cycle for breaking stories at various media outlets, and standards of excellence in online journalism. A companion website, www.excellenceinonlinejournalism. com, contains links to examples cited in the text, and Craig has continued to add fresh examples of top-quality online journalism to the site as he comes across them.A great strength of this book is the frequency with which the author refers to concrete illustrations of his points, giving the reader a behind-the-scenes look at online journalists covering such stories as the landing of US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River and the balloon boy hoax. …

This paper analyzes changes in media consumption patterns for trusted news sources over a three-year period among Qatari Nationals and expatriate residents living in Qatar, using data from the 2010, 2011, and 2012 Omnibus Surveys of Life in Qatar, administered by the Social and Economic Survey Research Institute (SESRI). Results show that television remains the strong favorite for local news and international news for both Qatari Nationals and expatriate residents, but that reliance on television is declining, especially for international news. Consumption of daily newspapers as the preferred source of local news remained stable among Qataris, but declined among expatriates. Internet news sites as the preferred source for local news increased during the three-year period. Additional analyses suggest weak agenda-setting effects between trusted news sources and perceived most important issues, and positive correlations between use of Internet sites and interest in political news.

Intense political behaviour is associated with brain regions involved in emotional and cognitive processing. However, it remains unclear if this neuroanatomy is causal, compensatory or otherwise correlated. We employed lesion network mapping in a cross-sectional study of 124 male military veterans with penetrating head trauma. Approximately 40-45 years after the injury, participants reported current political behaviour and recollection of political behaviour pre-injury. Using a normative connectome database (n = 1000), we mapped the circuitry functionally connected to lesions associated with changes in intensity of political involvement, ideological polarity and party affiliation. No significant neuroanatomical circuit was associated with political ideology or party affiliation, but a distinct circuit was associated with intensity of political involvement. Political involvement was more intense after lesions connected to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and posterior precuneus, in the full sample and in conservative-leaning participants. Political involvement was less intense after lesions connected to the amygdala and anterior temporal lobe, in the full sample and in liberal-leaning participants. These effects survived cross-validation in the full sample (P = 0.01) and in both conservative-leaning and liberal-leaning participants. These findings may inform cognitive mechanisms of political behaviour as well as clinical assessment after brain lesions.

While most studies of public service media changes in European media systems focus on regulatory policies and audience markets, this article investigates the development of professional journalistic values and newsroom practices among public service journalists. Previous studies have indicated that news values among public service journalists to a large extent have been guided by the principles of public interest and social significance. However, the majority of these studies were conducted mainly in the broadcast era, where competition was less important than it is today. In this article, the objective is to analyse public service journalists’ professional values and newsroom practices in a digital age. The study is based on a comparison between Spanish and Swedish journalists working within the public service media in the two countries, but within strongly diverging public service media conditions. The article compares professional values among public service journalists in the two countries, as well as between journalists working in the public and the private media sector in each country. Methodologically, the comparison is based on nation surveys among Spanish and Swedish journalists conducted during 2010. The results show similar perceptions of news values and between public and private journalists in both countries, but public journalists are more concerned about decreasing quality of journalism and increasing commercialization.

This paper constructs three monthly sentiment indices based on social media, traditional newspapers, and Internet news. The predictive power of the social media sentiment index and Internet news sentiment index in the full sample is excellent, far better than that of the macroeconomic predictors, whereas the index established based on the traditional newspaper is unsatisfactory. The forecasting results of the indices across different business cycles imply that the social media sentiment index has the best predictive power during expansion periods, and the Internet news sentiment index significantly predicts stock returns during recessions. The two combination sentiment indices obtained by principal component analysis and equal combination provide more accurate forecasts of stock returns and can generate great economic value for investors. These results are broadly consistent across robustness tests.

In the United States, an ideological and partisan divide in beliefs about science is well documented. In this study, we further examine this partisan divide and how this relationship is conditioned on levels of political interest and news consumption. Analyzing data from three nationally representative U.S. surveys, we replicate past research and find ideological divisions in evaluations of, and beliefs about, science and scientists. We then show that greater interest in politics and news consumption is more strongly related to positive beliefs about science and scientists among liberals than among moderates and conservatives.

This study aims to explore the evolving electronic reading habits in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the significant growth of electronic journalism. It also seeks to identify modern trends that have reshaped how people consume information, while examining the reading habits and preferences for print journalism. The research is guided by several key questions, ultimately revealing that the younger generation strongly prefers online journalism over print. This preference is driven by the limitations of traditional newspapers, such as the lack of immediate interaction, slower content updates and the dynamic nature of hypertext in the digital world. The study surveyed approximately four hundred individuals across the UAE and found a dramatic shift in reading habits, with traditional print media seemingly in decline, potentially making room for the rise of online journalism. The findings also confirm the growing influence of electronic journalism, suggesting that it is rapidly becoming a widespread social phenomenon. This shift extends beyond mere curiosity, evolving into new and lasting habits linked to the online media landscape. As online journalism establishes its position in society, it has simultaneously led to a noticeable decline in the use of print newspapers. This transformation highlights the need for traditional newspapers to adapt and evolve to stay relevant in the ever-changing world of media consumption.

In this article, we examine whether there is genetic overlap between personality traits and political participation, interest, and efficacy. We make several contributions to the literature. First, we use new data from a large sample of twins from Denmark to examine the link between genes, the Big Five traits, and political behavior. Previous research in this area has not examined the Danish context. Second, because our measures have some overlap with those used in previous studies, we are able to examine whether previous findings replicate in a different sample. Finally, we extend the literature by examining the possible genetic link between some personality and political traits that have not yet been explored. Overall, we find that genes account for a fairly large share of the correlation between two of the Big Five personality traits (openness and extraversion), political participation, and political interest. Thus, most of the relationship between these personality traits and our measures of political behavior can be accounted for by a common underlying genetic component.
