The Social Media Comment Section as an Unruly Public Arena: How Comment Reading Erodes Trust in News Media

The comment section accompanying news stories on social media offers an important interactive context for news, but may also afford the possibility to spread anti-establishment, trust-eroding comments. Exposure to such comments may affect social media users’ trust in news media. However, evidence of over-time effects is scarce. This study draws upon cultivation theory and uses a three-wave panel survey in the Netherlands ( N = 906). Findings indicate that increased comment reading at T2 exacerbates and deepens news media mistrust at T3, suggesting that exposure to the comment section accompanying news stories posted on social media indeed has negative ramifications for news media trust. News media seem to be closing off their own comment section and delegating commenting to social media in part to create a buffer between themselves and trust-eroding comments. Our findings suggest this buffer is not as solid as news media might hope.

Confessional Component of Urbanonymy in Lexicographic Interpretation

This article addresses the issues of enhancing the lexicographic representation of confessionally marked urbanonyms. The objective of the study is to substantiate parametric models for dictionary entries that allow for a comprehensive presentation of the confessional component of urbanonymy in both culturalhistorical and functional aspects. The research material is drawn from the database of the Experimental Laboratory of Educational Lexicography at Pskov State University, which contains 3,000 urbanonyms, including more than 200 ecclesionims (official, colloquial, and slang), forming the core of the urbanonymconfessionalism dataset. Through structuralsemantic and contextual analysis, the study identifies the denotative correlations, lexical composition of these urbanonyms, and various types of their variations in contemporary speech. Historical-etymological analysis aids in uncovering the motivations behind nomination. The method of linguocultural interpretation is employed in developing the commentary section of the dictionary entry. Lexicographic construction techniques are utilized in creating an improved model for entries in a general alphabetical urbanonym dictionary and an innovative discourse-type entry for an urbanonym guide dictionary. Samples of dictionary entries with accompanying comments are presented.

Leveraging TikTok as an educational platform: Insights from Ministries of the Republic of Indonesia

TikTok has become an increasingly popular medium for education, with even governmental institutions utilizing this platform to disseminate educational content. This includes the Republic of Indonesia ministries, with eight ministries having already established TikTok accounts for educational purposes. This study aims to describe how ministries of the Republic of Indonesia are utilizing TikTok for educational purposes, specifically examining the content of messages, language use, video format, and interactions. The research method used is descriptive, by observing the social media content of ministries in the year 2022. The results show there are three types of educational content delivered by these ministries: knowledge and skill enhancement videos, program and event education videos, and minister's activities highlight videos. The messages are conveyed in a colloquial language that can be understood by the younger generation. The videos are in a vertical format, with some being serious, and presenting educational content, while others follow current trends. The administrator strives to interact with the audience by responding to messages in the comments section.

SENTIMENT ANALYSIS OF YOUTUBE COMMENTS ON WISH 107.5 VIDEOS USING NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING (NLP)

Wish 107.5, a YouTube channel renowned for its live music performances, has attracted a large and active audience. Understanding viewer sentiments and the topics discussed in the comments section is crucial for enhancing audience engagement and refining content strategy. This study employs Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to analyze the sentiments and topics of YouTube comments on Wish 107.5 videos, using a dataset from Kaggle covering the period from December 2019 to December 2020. Google Collab was used for data processing, with sentiment analysis performed using a binary classification tool, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks applied for topic modeling. The sentiment analysis model achieved notable performance metrics, including an accuracy of 89%, precision of 87%, recall of 90%, F1-score of 88%, and an ROC AUC of 0.92, demonstrating its effectiveness in classifying YouTube comments. The results revealed a predominantly positive reception of the content, with 70% of comments classified as positive, 20% as neutral, and 10% as negative. Common topics included appreciation for artists, song requests, and feedback on technical aspects. While the model exhibited a training accuracy nearing 1.0, the validation accuracy was 0.78, indicating some overfitting. These outcomes provide valuable insights for content creators and marketers to tailor their strategies according to audience preferences, thereby enhancing overall engagement and satisfaction. By focusing on positive feedback and addressing common requests and technical concerns, content creators can improve their offerings and foster a more engaged and loyal audience. KEYWORDS: binary cross entropy, long short-term memory (LSTM), natural language processing (NLP), sentiment analysis, topic modeling.

Indonesian Slang Word Formation Processes in TikTok

Language changes over time due to social and cultural factors. These changes are evident through language varieties such as standard and non-standard languages, dialects, accents, and registers. This research focuses on one type of language variation, namely slang. Slang words show that language is constantly changing. For example, there are many new slang words that emerge and old ones that are no longer used or replaced. Slang also reflects people’s creativity because through slang we can see how someone can be very creative in making new words or modifying existing words. This research aims to identify the slang words that appear in the comments section of the TikTok during June to December 2022 and analyze the word formation process of each slang found. The authors used the qualitative descriptive method in order to present the data thoroughly. This study found that there were 39 slang words that appeared repeatedly and there were six most common word formation processes found in TikTok comments, namely blending, clipping, borrowing, acronym, affixation, and multiple processes. The most frequent processes are blending and clipping. The least frequent word formation processes are affixation and borrowing.

Bonding over bashing: Discussing LGBTI topics in far-right alternative news media comments sections

Abstract This study investigates virtual community-building practices and discriminatory views in PAL NWS, a Dutch-speaking Belgian far-right alternative news medium, by examining discussions in the comments sections. Thematic analysis was applied to a total of 1,127 comments by 343 users in response to 50 articles about LGBTI topics. The findings show that far-right alternative news sites can function as virtual communities that facilitate polarization. The comments exhibited a high level of hostility towards LGBTI individuals, particularly toward transgender people and public displays of LGBTI inclusion. Furthermore, Muslims were homogeneously perceived as homophobes, and LGBTI topics were understood as (woke) ideological suppression by a dogmatic minority. The results of this study have implications for understanding the dynamics of comments sections on alternative media and the potential for far-right news platforms to facilitate the spread of intolerance.

Norms concerning the recognition of victimhood in postconflict societies: An analysis of “whatabouteries” in online sectarian arguments

AbstractAcknowledging the victims on both sides of a conflict is crucial to peacebuilding and reconciliation. However, recognizing the victims of one community can challenge an opposing group's conflict narrative, particularly when their own group is seen as the primary victim. Suggestions of inclusive victimhood and blame can also threaten the sense of distinctiveness of each group's experience, leading to resistance. This article examines the conflict that arose when historical victimhood was discussed in the online comments sections of U.K. newspapers in response to the 2021 Coroner's Inquest into the Ballymurphy massacre. We focus on one common turn in sectarian argument in Northern Ireland: “Whatabouteries,” and the conflict that arises when whatabouteries appear in discussions. We describe the variety of forms whatabouteries—and responses to them—can take and analyze two extended conflict sequences in which they occur. Responses to such posts often invoke an implicit norm in these discussions: That when the victims of one group are publicly recognized in truth‐finding mechanisms, raising the issue of the opposing group's victims is illegitimate and can be treated as an act of provocation. This illustrates the need for sensitivity and an understanding of local, context‐specific norms when discussing victimhood and violence.

Super-Resolution Imaging of Clickable Lipids With Lipid Expansion Microscopy (LExM).

Fluorescent imaging of cellular membranes is challenged by the size of lipid bilayers, which are smaller than the diffraction limit of light. Recently, expansion microscopy (ExM) has emerged as an approachable super-resolution method that requires only widely accessible confocal microscopes. In this method, biomolecules of interest are anchored to hydrogel-based, polymeric networks that are expanded through osmosis to physically separate and resolve features smaller than the diffraction limit of light. Whereas ExM has been employed for super-resolution imaging of proteins, DNA, RNA, and glycans, the application of this method to the study of lipids is challenged by the requirement of permeabilization procedures that remove lipids and compromise the integrity of the membrane. Here, we describe our recently developed protocols for lipid expansion microscopy (LExM), a method that enables ExM of membranes without permeabilization. These detailed protocols and accompanying commentary sections aim to make LExM accessible to any experimentalist interested in imaging membranes with super-resolution. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Factors Influencing the impact of nurse practitioners' clinical autonomy: a self determining perspective.

To explore factors that influence the impact of nurse practitioners' clinical autonomy with a self-determining perspective. Worldwide, there is a significant demand for healthcare professionals such as the nurse practitioner in meeting some healthcare needs across patients' lifespans. Factors influencing nurse practitioners clinical autonomy can impact the full utilisation of the role in practice. Limited evidence exists that describes or researches nurse practitioner clinical autonomy. Instead, there is a focus in the literature on strategic debates, role confusion and nurse practitioners reporting the straddling between nursing, allied heath professionals and medicine in the provision of healthcare services. A cross-sectional study design was used in a purposive sample in a national sample of nurse practitioners in Ireland across a full range of healthcare settings. Additionally, the survey included open comments sections to capture qualitative comments by the nurse practitioners themselves. Self-determination theory is rooted in an organismic dialectical stance. This study used a convenience sample of n = 148 from a total sample of n = 448 (33%) of the population. The Dempster Practice Behavioural Scale and an initially validated advanced nursing practice clinical autonomy scale were used. Open comments were analysed by thematic analysis. STROBE Standards guidelines for cross-sectional studies were followed, and COREQ guidelines were followed for writing qualitative research. The study findings demonstrated that the more clinical experience the nurse practitioner had, the higher their levels of clinical autonomy. The previous length of nursing experience did not impact nurse practitioner clinical autonomy levels. However, average experience of nurse practitioner' in this study was 3-10 years. No significant differences existed between the reported gender, nurse practitioners' clinical autonomy and decision-making. 1:40 female and 1:9 male nurse practitioners undertook a doctorate or PhD-level education. No advanced nurse practitioner identified as non-binary. Gender and organisational culture considerations can influence nurse practitioners clinical autonomy. This study highlights intrinsic motivators that support nurse practitioners in providing innovative healthcare: competence, relatedness and clinical autonomy. Countries credentialing, regulations professional standards and healthcare policy positively influence nurse practitioner clinical autonomy. Nurse practitioners' clinical autonomy is championed when health policy and organisational stakeholders intrinsically collaborate. A disconnect between health policy organisational culture extrinsically influences lower levels of nurse practitioners' clinical autonomy. The findings underline the positive impact of nurse practitioner clinical autonomy. A recommendation of this study is to continue to measure impact of clinical autonomy anddevelop nurse practitioners' self-determination strategies around the role and integrity of their levels of intrinsic clinical autonomy.

The Pragmatic Aspect of Modality in the English Mass-Media Discourse

The article is devoted to the pragmatic aspect of modality representation in the English mass-media discourse. The categorial status of modality, typology of modal meanings and their interaction have been examined from the viewpoint of historical perspective. The research is aimed at revealing the pragmatic characteristics of subjective-interpersonal (author-recipient) modality, which reflects the author's intentions to describe the world (epistemic modality), change the world (deontic modality), evaluate the world (axiological modality). The four factors of internet communication - the addresser, the addressee, the text, the objective reality - are studied within the framework of communicative-pragmatic approach to modality. The discourse-analysis and pragma-stylistic analysis have been applied to depict language means representing modality in the English mass-media Internet discourse, in the article on political issues. It has been revealed that the author of the article may act differently in accordance with the roles he assumes - of an informer, of an expert-analyst, of a consultant-adviser; his task is to attract the readers and involve them in discussion in the comments section. The expression of authorship is principal here and the author's modality is always explicit. The comments following the text of an article are distinguished by a variety of the authors' communicative strategies and modal meanings.

'Conspiracy theories should be called spoiler alerts': Conspiracy, Coronavirus, and affective community on Russell Brand's YouTube Comment Section.

This paper examines how conspiracy theories anchor affective communities through an analysis of the YouTube comment section for the actor and comedian turned political influencer Russell Brand. Comparing videos before and after Brand's shift to covid scepticism, I explore like counts, reply networks, and other commenting patterns in a dataset of 217,157 comments and conduct an in-depth analysis of 2000 top comments. The findings show first, a shift toward right-wing viewpoints; second, a reduction in comment length and comment replies alongside an increase in likes; third, a sharp rise in proclamations of Brand fandom; and fourth, a steep increase in references to conspiracy. The in-depth analysis reveals that comments focused not on narrating the content of conspiracies but on celebrating conspiracy as the basis of a political community and as a defence against accusations of paranoia. I argue that conspiracy theories can function as formal categories that anchor affective communities.

Mourning an Oenophile

Abstract In Petrus Nannius’ posthumously published commentary on Vergil’s Eclogues (Basel: Johannes Oporinus, 1559), one section contains a forgotten mock epitaph ascribed to Erasmus. The short poem, omitted in modern editions of Erasmus’ poetry, is written for a man simply referred to as “Theodoricus”. In the present article, I offer a diplomatic transcription, translation, and contextualization of the epitaph and the commentary section in which it is imbedded. In my discussion of the epitaph, I identify “Theodoricus” as Dirk Martens of Aalst (Theodoricus Martinus Alustensis/Alostensis), Erasmus’ close friend and the publisher of many of his works.
