APPLICATION OF THE NEURAL NETWORK AUTOREGRESSIVE (NNAR) METHOD FOR FORECASTING THE VALUE OF OIL AND GAS EXPORTS IN INDONESIA

Indonesia is one of the countries with the most diversity and abundant natural resources, consisting of many commodities, and has enormous trade potential with other countries The success of economic activity a country can be measured by the amount of economic growth that occurs in the country. A recession is when a country's economic condition is getting worse. Meanwhile, a recession in Indonesia is expected to occur in 2023. In a 2022 news issue written by the editorial team, tirto.id said that some experts say that if 2023 is a recession, the cause is due to a spike in inflation from the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. It is known that the value of oil and gas exports affects the Indonesian economy. Any increase in the value of oil and gas exports will be followed by an increase in economic growth, and vice versa. However, over time, the value of oil and gas exports has decreased every year. Therefore, forecasting the value of oil and gas exports is needed so that the country's economic sector development strategy can be on target. In addition, oil and gas export forecasting is also needed to determine the distribution of goods exports that must be carried out. In this study, we forecast the value of oil and gas exports using the neural network autoregressive (NNAR) method. The choice of this method is made because there is no assumption of normality of the residuals and white noise like in autoregressive models. From the NNAR method, the best model results are obtained, namely NNAR (2,3) with a MAPE value of 11.75640%, which means that this model has very good forecasting performance.

Watchful waiting: public relations strategies to minimize and manage a fake news crisis

PurposeFake news stories have become a central element of crises that corporate public relations practitioners have confronted. Whether such stories are rumors, outright lies or deliberate attempts to discredit corporations, they have the same impact and require specific strategies for public relations practitioners to effectively respond. The purpose of this study is to uncover strategies to manage crises that arise from fake news and if and how these strategies differ for other corporate crises.Design/methodology/approachIn this multi-method study of 21 in-depth interviews and a 8-person focus group with senior-level corporate public relations practitioners, authors explored decision-making strategies for responding to fake news crises. Transcripts of interviews and the focus group were thematically analyzed.FindingsResults reveal insights regarding how public relations practitioners determine if and when to respond to fake news crises in corporations; what response strategies public relations practitioners have the autonomy to employ for fake news crises in corporations, and how public relations practitioners control media narratives during fake news crises in corporations.Practical implicationsThe findings guide public relations practitioners to craft an autonomous decision-making process and effective online listening strategies—establishing a watchful waiting approach—and determine if the fake news issue is a passing moment or movement swirling into a crisis.Originality/valueFew studies have examined the perspectives of crisis communication experts about minimizing and managing fake news crises. The study identifies opportunities for future research focused on crises originating from fake news and disinformation.

Check the Report and Comments: The Veracity Assessment of Unfamiliar News on Social Media

Given growing concerns regarding the spread of medical misinformation, the current research set out to assess the message effects of social media news on reader veracity assessments. A 2 (news report with hedging vs. without hedging) by 3 (uncivil vs. civil vs. no comments) between-subject experiment on Facebook users was conducted (valid N = 824). Results reveal that news hedging was more predictive of perceived credibility, news sharing, and fact-checking tendencies than was comment incivility. Hedged reporting was also found to elevate perceived news credibility, which in turn predicted a greater likelihood of news sharing. Moreover, perceived credibility increased fact-checking tendency only when the news was reported with hedged messages. These findings indicate that when readers encounter an unfamiliar health news issue, the content of news played a more important role in veracity assessment than the style of reader comments.

When Posting Is Believing

Abstract. Social network sites (SNS) facilitate the expression of users’ opinions to a large audience. This research aimed to investigate whether the characteristics of this new media context strengthen the adaptation of opinions to the majority and lead to an internalization of the expressed views. Based on literature on public self-presentation and identity shifts, it was assumed that the publicness of and the identifiability within SNS elicit stronger expression effects than online forums or non-public settings. A between-subjects experiment ( N = 302) varied the visible majority opinion on a news issue as well as the media context in which participants were asked to write down their opinion. Results showed significant adaptation effects to the majority (positive vs. negative comments) across media contexts. The internalization of attitudes was stronger in SNS groups with a more relevant audience but also occurred in other settings. Consequences for the formation of public opinion are discussed.

Fatigued by Ongoing News Issues? How Repeated Exposure to the Same News Issue Affects the Audience

ABSTRACT When a news issue is of ongoing topicality and covered by news media extensively for a prolonged period, news users can be exposed to this issue repeatedly for weeks, months, or years. There are indications from several countries that citizens become fatigued from ongoing political issues in the news and, consequently, try to avoid them. News users’ fatigue from, and avoidance of, current political issues would be detrimental to a politically informed citizenry. This study examines the potential effects on news users from repeated exposure to a news issue by applying a qualitative, longitudinal, mixed-methods approach. The findings from the qualitative content analysis of data obtained from semi-structured diaries combined with semi-structured interviews with the same participants reveal that, along with repeated exposure, news users hold specific cognitions, such as redundancy, regarding the issue and its media coverage. They show emotions regarding the issue, such as annoyance, and behaviors, such as avoidance during news exposure. It becomes apparent that fatigue with an ongoing political issue can carry further implications for the user’s knowledge of the issue, their evaluations of political actors, and their trust in news media.

Perceived Media Bias and Intention to Engage in Discursive Activities for Mental Health: Testing Corrective Action Hypothesis in the Context of Mass Shooting News

ABSTRACT The current study tested the “corrective action hypothesis” by analyzing intentions to engage in discursive activities for mental health in response to news coverage of mass shootings. Hypotheses were proposed regarding how involvements with the news influence on people with mental health issues moderate preexisting attitude toward people with mental health issues in predicting perceived media bias, and how perceived media bias predicts intention to engage in discursive activities for mental health. Two hundred nighty eight respondents were surveyed through Qualtrics national research panels. The results suggested participants would not be motivated by their prior attitude toward mental health to take part in discursive activities unless they are highly involved with the news issue and in the meantime perceived mass shooting coverage is biased against people with mental health. The results extended the discussion of corrective action hypothesis to the context of media coverage of mass shooting – a significant issue nowadays that intertwines with public health concerns. The results also provide a basis for the discussion of the potential benefits of employing perceived media bias in educating the public by appealing to individuals’ outcome concerns and value systems.

Fighting fake news: Inspiring critical thinking with memorable learning experiences

Despite fake news having a long and notorious history in the United States, it seemed like a brand-new phenomenon to many people during the 2016 presidential campaign. Four years later, we continue to grapple with the understanding that the fake news issue is a symptom of a perfect storm of political polarization, shifting U.S. demographics, labor market upheaval, the proliferation of social media use, foreign interference, and normal human psychology. With no clear solutions in sight, the battle against fake news continues. Fake news has many troubling implications for life outside of the academy, but it also has serious consequences for student learning. From the perspective of undergraduate students, it may seem that in this post-truth era, anyone with a cellphone can create news, journalists have ulterior motives, news organizations cannot be trusted, debate centers on reaffirming one’s worldview, and nothing is knowable because there is always evidence on both sides of an argument. Despite this, we believe learning experiences designed to be memorable can change students’ perspectives and make a lasting impression.

Learning Politics From Social Media: Interconnection of Social Media Use for Political News and Political Issue and Process Knowledge

Drawing on a national survey of 1,157 South Korean adults, the present study finds that social media use for political news is positively associated with knowledge about political issues, but not with knowledge about political processes. Professional media use for political news is significantly associated with both political issue knowledge and political process knowledge. The impact of social media for news on political issue knowledge increases with the additive role of professional media news use. This study also finds that political talk strengthens the positive association between social media use for news and political issue knowledge.

The Authentic (And Angry) Audience

Comments that accompany news teasers on social media are often uncivil, leading to undesired outcomes for news outlets. Why are readers susceptible to the effects of online comments? Are comments perceived as memorable or authentic more likely to influence readers? If so, do such outcomes occur across multiple types of news? An online experiment was conducted to test a 3 (comment valence: positive vs. negative vs. no comment control) × 4 (topic type: policy vs. international vs. health vs. sports) between-subjects design using a convenience sample recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk (N = 230). Results revealed that negative comments decreased news credibility and issue importance through the mediating pathway of decreased bandwagon support. The pattern of results was particularly strong among comments perceived as vivid and authentic, regardless of the type of news in question. Theoretical and practical implications of study findings are discussed.
