Climate Communication and Indian Media: Challenges and Responses

Fast-depleting natural resources, global warming, and the consequent anthropogenic climatic change pose a severe threat to the very existence of life on our planet. Being a public concern, the problem for its solution, requires active public participation. It plays a crucial role by mobilising people against the rampant exploitation of nature. Past researchers have analysed the role of media in this direction. This paper takes a stride in this direction by engaging with Gateway Belief Model and scrutinising how communicating scientific consensus through media impacts the belief in climate change and produces support for action. It also discusses the challenges media face in its attempts to communicate nature to the public. By focussing on examples from the Indian media, this paper problematises the intersection between religious belief and scientific research to underpin the relationship between public perception and policy prescription regarding the climate change crisis.

Consumers’ Paying Intent for Public Service Media in Spain: The Effect of RTVE Service Quality, Citizens’ Expenditure, and the Moderating Role of Age

ABSTRACT Due to significant transformations in citizens’ news consumption habits and the arrival of on-demand multi-platform services, today’s public service media (PSM) face substantial challenges to endure their core public principles. Moreover, PSMs’ need and legitimacy are being questioned from both a liberal and a populist standpoint, opening up discussions about its sustainability. However, little academic attention has been paid to citizens’ paying intent in the context of PSM. To mend this gap in the literature, this study examines expenditure on news and entertainment services and Spain’s public television (RTVE) service quality as two potential direct predictors of paying intent for public service media, as well as the moderating role of citizens’ age. Findings indicate that higher expenditure on news and entertainment services is associated with lower paying intent for public service media, while higher perceptions of RTVE service quality positively influence paying intent. Finally, challenging prior literature, our findings revealed that the younger generations are the most likely to economically support PSM at all levels of RTVE service quality. This study emphasizes the need for PSMs to reinforce their quality offer and uniqueness and theorizes about different ways to achieve this goal in today’s multi-platform environment.

The Rise of New Media: A Benefit or a Threat to Traditional Media-Based Society?

This paper focuses on the multi-dimensional impact of the rise of new media on the modern society which is based on traditional media. This work is investigated from four different directions: reduced public's trust in the media, acceleration of the spread of fake news, increase in political polarization and anti-government attributes of media responses, and the replacement of traditional media in commercial promotion. The research supports each viewpoint with specific social examples and comes to the conclusion that people's opinions are more easily controlled by the media. Finally, this paper calls for more research on how people could maintain their independence of thought in the face of new media and use new media to benefit mankind.

From safety to source domination and diversity content: Media challenges in the pandemic era

All sectors of human life have been affected by the Covid-19 virus, including the media industry. There have been many changes in the media organization. The patterns that have become standard have completely changed due to the pandemic. The media face many challenges because of that. Those are the risk to the safety of workers, the loss of several types of jobs, the dominance of information sources, and threats to the diversity of information that the public can receive.

Faking it deeply and universally? Media forms and epistemologies of artificial faces and emotions in Japanese and Euro-American contexts

Attempts to visually represent the human face in various media forms have a long history. Fairly recent examples can be found in techniques that are used in animated films and video games (performance capture) or in the controversial phenomenon of “deep fakes”. The article looks at the relationship between faces, the media forms that are used for their representation and simulation and the knowledge that is (re)produced about emotions and their communicative effects. It reveals a peculiar contradiction: the quest to create a synthetic digital face that would be universally recognisable in terms of emotional readability and response homogenises our understanding of emotion while disguising the challenging cultural barriers to this recognisability. The simulated face caters to a two-fold and hence paradoxical aesthetic aspiration that places it between uniqueness and universality. By elaborating on the somatic, affective dimension of communication via faces, the article compares culturally specific modes of producing and reading emotions. A Euro-American tradition of thought regards them as artefacts, constructed as antagonists of rationality, that can be controlled and objectively modelled and measured. The idea of the face as the locus of emotions, which can be represented in distinct expressions, contrasts with more ambiguous and relational meanings in East Asian, particularly Japanese contexts. The epistemological genealogy of the facial display of emotions, however, does not conform to a clear West/East divide and is at the same time highly interwoven with specific media forms of their representation. In order to deepen this dynamic understanding of artificial faces, the article looks at different examples of Japanese traditions and art forms. Examples such as portraiture and photography, the subtle illusions created in Nō theatre and the less subtle ones evoked by robotic faces shed a light on the complex meanings but also the affective reactions to artificial faces.

Perceptions and Aspirations Toward Peer Mentoring in Social Media-Based Electronic Cigarette Cessation Interventions for Adolescents and Young Adults: Focus Group Study.

Social media offer a promising channel to deliver e-cigarette cessation interventions to adolescents and young adults (AYAs); however, interventions delivered on social media face challenges of low participant retention and decreased engagement over time. Peer mentoring has the potential to ameliorate these challenges. The aim of this study was to understand, from both the mentee and potential mentor perspective, the needs, expectations, and concerns of AYAs regarding peer mentoring to inform the development of social media-based peer mentoring interventions for e-cigarette cessation among AYAs. Seven focus groups, including four mentee groups and three potential mentor groups, were conducted with 26 AYAs who had prior experience with e-cigarette use and attempts to quit in the context of a social media-based e-cigarette cessation intervention. Discussion focused on preferred characteristics of peer mentors, expectations about peer mentoring, mentoring mode, mentor training, incentives for peer mentors, preferred social media platforms for intervention delivery, supervision, and concerns. Focus group transcripts were coded and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. Overall, participants were receptive to peer mentoring in social media-based cessation interventions and believed they could be helpful in assisting e-cigarette cessation. Participants identified the most important characteristics of peer mentors to be of similar age and to be abstinent from e-cigarette use. Participants expected peer mentors would share personal experiences, provide emotional support, and send check-ins and reminders. Peer mentors supporting a group of mentees in combination with one-on-one mentoring as needed was the preferred mentoring mode. A group of 10 mentees with a mentor:mentee ratio of 1:3-5 was deemed acceptable for most participants. Participants expressed that mentor training should include emotional intelligence, communication skills, and the scientific evidence about e-cigarettes. Although monetary incentives were not the main motivating factor for being a peer mentor, they were viewed as a good way to compensate mentors' time. Instagram was considered an appropriate social media platform to deliver a peer-mentored intervention due to its functionality. Participants did not express many privacy concerns about social media-based peer mentoring, but mentioned that boundaries and community agreements should be set to keep relationships professional. This study reflects the needs and preferences of young people for a peer mentoring intervention to complement a social media program to support e-cigarette cessation. The next step will be to establish the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of such a peer mentoring program.

496-P: Biomedical Expertise in the Face of Social Media: How Is Diabetes-Related Information That Stems from Social Media Discussed in Clinical Encounters?

Background and Aim: In today’s digital world, people with type 1 and 2 diabetes turn to peers on social media to exchange information and support. However, little is known about what the online sharing of diabetes-related information implies for the clinical encounter. This study examines how information that stems from social media is discussed in clinical encounters between healthcare professionals (HCPs) and people with diabetes (PWD) . Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 25 PWD aged 22-76 (type 1: n= 17, type 2: n=8) and HCPs (nurses n=9, medical doctors n=7, dieticians n=3) . The participants were recruited from the diabetes outpatient care setting in Denmark. Two researchers independently developed a thematic coding framework that was compared, revised, and then applied to analyze each interview. Subsequently, overarching themes were identified across the whole data set. Results: The first theme suggests that HCPs tend to have a ‘blind spot’ towards information that stems from social media: Most HCPs have not asked whether PWD retrieve information from social media and most PWD present information that is accessed on social media without naming their source. The second theme reflects that clinical dialogues about online information rest upon trustful relationships: PWD find online peer exchanges valuable and request for HCPs to acknowledge this. Still, PWD navigate large amounts of information and treatment advice online, and while PWD may seek to discuss their information in clinical encounters, initiating these dialogues is sensitive to the reactions of HCPs. Discussion: The results suggest that HCPs should encourage curious dialogues about how PWD retrieve diabetes-related information. This serves for HCPs to learn what PWD gain from peers online and for HCPs to be able to offer their expertise to support PWD who are navigating large flows of information and advice online.

POLITICAL CIVILIZATION LINKS OF CROSS-RELIGIOUS SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVITIES ON TWITTER

The wave of transnational ideological thought after the 1999 reform has become a serious threat to religious harmony in Indonesia. Ideological teachings that want to return to the roots of Islamic law in all aspects of life have implications for identity politics, which have given space to privilege Islamic groups and place other groups into second class in all aspects. life. This teaching is increasingly spread to the surface through social media and creates debate and unrest that threatens the unity of fellow Muslims and the integration of the nation and state which is built on ethnic, ethnic, cultural, belief, and religious diversity.

Fashion designer\u2019s identity self-verification through social media engagement on Instagram

In recent years, online identity and social media engagement have been areas of study that have garnered a lot of interest. However, studies have yet to pinpoint empirical and theoretical connections between engagement and identity. Moreover, current research lacks holistic methods for measuring engagement rate and identity. Our multifaceted study examines how fashion designers use Instagram as a resource to self-verify their complex identities through social media analysis, body and face detection programmes such as Face++ and manual content identification. One-way and two-way ANOVA and t-tests were employed to determine the correlation in engagement rate between designers, image type and influence tier variables. By engaging with followers, designers verify their self-identities, which ultimately reinforces the fashion social identity online. We found variation in followers’ engagement behaviour when different identity types, image types, and designers of varying influence levels are presented. According to the result, images that reflected designers’ personal identity, such as selfies, body image, and miscellaneous images, drew higher engagement than role identity-related images. Among all image types, the full-body and upper torso more gained follower’s attention than a selfie, advertisement and product images in every influence tier. Therefore, fashion designers should consider posting body images as a meaningful form of identity and medium conveying their dressing aesthetic. Our findings suggest managerial implications for designers to strategise their content according to their tiers of influence.

Reģionālie mediji Latvijā: Covid-19 izraisītās krīzes izaicinājumi

A multi-stage study was conducted to find out what is the role of regional media in the crisis caused by the coronavirus Covid-19, what problems do the media face, what is the opinion of consumers about the work of regional media: 1) audience surveys (1428 respondents); 2) survey of national and regional media (26 respondents); 3) analysis of the content of the regional newspaper Alūksnes un Malienas Ziņas (during the state emergency, March 12, 2020 –June 10, 2020); 4) in-depth, semi-structured interviews with regional media consumers (audience); 5) in-depth, semi-structured interviews with regional media editors. The Covid-19 crisis changed the work of regional media. The ways of obtaining media information diversified, mutual communication and the created content changed, and interaction with the audience increased. The number of subscribers and advertisers decreased significantly (up to 50 %), and therefore the total revenue, creating a serious threat to the existence of the media. The financial situation forced several media executives to reorganise the media – to reduce the number of employees and their salaries, decide on reducing the periodicity of newspapers, and raise prices. Several regional media leaders predict that the media will be shut down if the situation does not improve. The public appreciates and trusts the work of the regional media, they are happy to consume them as well, but more and more often, they cannot afford to pay for them. The results of the survey confirm that with each decade of life achieved, people’s interest in local events (news in the municipality and region, culture and sports) and, consequently, the intensity of regional media consumption increase. Local proximity increases mutual trust between regional media workers (their content) and local community residents (audience). Interactions (seeking advice and assistance, participating in content creation, recording violations of restrictions) were particularly active during the Covid-19 crisis when the doors of state and local authorities were closed (the work took place from home) throughout the emergency. The rapid spread of Covid-19 changed the traditional agenda of regional media – methods of information gathering and mutual communication (remote interviews, video conferences, and meetings, virtual meetings on electronic communication platforms), as well as the content created. The results of the content analysis confirm the priority status of the Covid-19 topic (multiplicity, intensity, location) in the content of the regional newspaper Alūksnes un Malienas Ziņas. With the materials dedicated to Covid-19, journalists informed the audience about the latest events, explained the decisions made by the government, motivated them to act responsibly, appealed to conscience, called for mutual help, condemned, comforted, and also saved. During the emergency, journalists performed not only the functions of an informant but also an educator, psychologist, and social worker (educating, explaining, reassuring, motivating, and helping), while reducing one of their main functions – the watchdog function. The regional press is the only mechanism of balance of power in the regions that exercises power control in local governments, as well as the only ones that regularly record the uniqueness of the local environment, promote the construction of local identity, create a sense of belonging, ensure objective information from reliable sources. Without receiving the necessary support from the state authorities (financial assistance, tax relief, arrangement of legislation), the existence of regional media will be endangered in the coming year, thereby a versatile media environment, diversity of opinions, availability of objective information, as well as preservation of literary Latvian language and culture will also be in danger.
