Media parenting in a pandemic: Understanding U.S. Parents’ motivations for parental mediation during the COVID-19 lockdown

ABSTRACT Little is known about how parents utilized parental mediation strategies during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw an upsurge in youths’ technology use and increased family time at home. The current study surveyed the parents of 964 U.S. school-aged children for their mediation behaviors, perceptions of media risk, views about youth media use, and awareness of and reliance upon professional youth media guidelines to identify key factors influencing the use of media parenting strategies (i.e. parental mediation) during the lockdown (March – May 2020). Structural equation modeling revealed that parents’ use of professional media use guidelines and their perceived changes in media views during the lockdown were positively related to their use of active mediation, restrictive mediation, and coviewing. Further, perceptions of media risk were associated with restrictive mediation, but not other mediation types, and single parents were less likely to engage in active and restrictive mediation than parents with a partner.

«They Held Each Other in a Communicative Clinch»: a Showdown in Football Fans’ Subculture (by the Example of the Revier Derby Schalke 04 vs Borussia Dortmund)

The article considers cases of verbal conflict between football fans of competing clubs. The issue is analysed by the example of the famous German (Revier) derby in which the teams Schalke 04 (Gelsenkirchen) and Borussia (Dortmund) participate. The author gives account of the origin of the discourse of rivalry between the two clubs and their fans, characterizes the derby from the point of view of sports mass media, football fans, etc. The article states a great diversity of linguistic means, styles, genres used by fans of Schalke and Borussia to achieve communicative aims, of which the main is to humiliate, offend, downgrade in a communicative clinch the so-called ‘others’, attribute negative qualities to them, besmirch them in the eyes of people around (first and foremost representing the fan culture) and so on. It distinguishes the most frequent patterns of creating ‘tension’ and provocative modality in the analyzed discourse – intertextuality, metaphorization, play on words, mixing discourses. The author emphasizes linguistic creativity of both clubs’ fans in creating conflict speech acts, stresses comic attitude in many messages, whereby humour is employed to disguise offense. As a direction for further research the author proposes surveying the discourse of rivalry in fan subculture by the example of famous derbies held in other countries. Instances are given to demonstrate verbal attacks on an adversary in the communication of the Moscow clubs Spartak’s and CSKA’s fans. The methods used are discourse, contextual, stylistic, semantic, linguistic and cultural, axiometric analysis

From Body Narratives to Cultural Identity: A Study of Ritualised Representations in Modern Sound Media

For modern people who have been under the hegemony of visual picture for a long time, the sensory balance in the Internet era is the key to releasing body appeals and getting rid of individual heterogeneity. The unique sense of imagination, immersion and companionship created by modern sound media to the audience can directly arouse emotional resonance, so as to achieve the group identity of sound field culture. Based on the perspective of ritual view of media, this paper analyzes the ritualized representation mode of modern sound media from two dimensions: the morphological evolution of body narrative of sound media and the deep aggregation of auditory culture, and thus corresponds to the dual aspects of ritualized representation: the embodied presentation and landscape modeling of sound media. By clarifying the subject’s holistic and differentiated identity cognitive thinking in media practice and the social auditory cultural aggregation phenomenon, the ritualized signs of modern sound media are deeply investigated in order to provide a theoretical perspective for the cultural research of modern sound media.

Synthesizing perspectives: Crafting an Interdisciplinary view of social media's impact on young people's mental health.

This study explores the intricate relationship between social media usage and the mental health of young individuals by leveraging the insights of 492 UK school headteachers. It adopts a novel multidisciplinary approach, integrating perspectives from psychology, sociology, education studies, political science, philosophy, media studies, linguistics, social work, anthropology, and health sciences. The application of thematic analysis, powered by ChatGPT-4, identifies a predominantly negative perspective on the impact of social media on young people, focusing on key themes across various disciplines, including mental health, identity formation, social interaction and comparison, bullying, digital literacy, and governance policies. These findings culminated in the development of the five-factor Comprehensive Digital Influence Model, suggesting five key themes (Self-Identity and Perception Formation, Social Interaction Skills and Peer Communication, Mental and Emotional Well-Being, Digital Literacy, Critical Thinking, and Information Perception, and Governance, Policy, and Cultural Influence in Digital Spaces) to focus the impacts of social media on young peoples' mental health across primary and secondary educational stages. This study not only advances academic discourse across multiple disciplines but also provides practical insights for educators, policymakers, and mental health professionals, seeking to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by social media in the digital era.

The dark side of screens: Exploring impairment with the iRAT framework

This paper introduces the iRAT model, an extension of the existing RAT framework, to comprehensively evaluate the integration of digital media in educational settings. While the traditional RAT framework focuses on Replacement, Amplification, and Transformation, the iRAT model includes a fourth category: Impairment. This new category addresses the potential negative impacts of digital media use, such as unnecessary app usage, distractions from learning objectives, lack of pedagogical integration, and resource wastage. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, including participatory observation, lesson plan evaluation, expert think-aloud protocols, and AI-driven scenario identification, to validate the iRAT model. Findings highlight the importance of considering both positive and negative aspects of digital media integration, suggesting that future research should adopt the iRAT framework for a balanced evaluation. This study closes a significant research gap and challenges the overly optimistic view of digital media in education, advocating for a more critical perspective.

FRAMING ANALYSIS OF MEDIA ONLINE INDONESIA AGAINTS EXECUTIONS WITHOUT NOTIFICATIONS BY THE GOVERNMENT OF SAUDI ARABIA

This study aims to analyze the views of online media in Indonesia on the case of the execution without notification carried out by Saudi Arabia against Tuti Tursilawati, who is a worker from Indonesia. The researcher uses Murray Edelman's framing analysis theory to analyze media texts to determine how a media conveys news. The research method used is qualitative research with literature review and literature review. Data was collected by accessing three online news portals in Indonesia, including Detik, Kompas, and CNN and obtaining a total of 75 news articles. The news was collected using NCapture and analyzed using NVIVO 12 plus software as a qualitative data analysis tool using features such as crosstab and matrix coding. The research results show that three online media in Indonesia reporting on executions without notification tend to discuss the flawed system and method of communication in Saudi Arabia rather than focusing on Indonesia's failure to save Tuti Tursilawati from execution. Even though the government has sought legal assistance for Tuti Tursilawati, the lack of advocacy and weak political lobbying meant that the execution could not be thwarted. However, this important matter should have been discussed in the media. Based on the results of analysis from 3 online media and 3 points of research using Murray Edelman's overall framing analysis, it tends to corner Saudi Arabia so that it seems that the media is not delivering neutral news but is in favour of the government. This also seems exaggerated because most news highlights the lousy side of Saudi Arabia, so the government's shortcomings in handling it are of little concern.

Implikasi Revolusi Sains Thomas S. Khun dalam Media Dakwah

Thomas Khun in his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions argues that the paradigm shift from the old paradigm to the new paradigm produces scientific breakthroughs that are revolutionary, both partially and thoroughly. The paradigm shift occurs in several stages before the new paradigm replaces the previous paradigm. Islam continues to spread its teachings through various means, including utilizing electronic media such as radio and television. The shift to digital da'wah media affects the way da'wah activists organize, distribute and manage religious messages. This research is library research, which is research that uses literature in the form of books, articles, and the like. The result of this article is that a shift in the point of view or paradigm of da'wah media will occur when digital da'wah media proves to be more effective in achieving da'wah goals and can well meet the needs of the audience. This new paradigm is the result of the application of information and communication technology that is more interactive, participatory and decentralized in the dissemination of religious messages.

Sharing for the Benefit of All

From 2020 to the present, about 30 billion yuan of expired food is wasted in China every year. Against this background, this study proposes a two-pronged parallel food bank supply chain innovation program aimed at solving the problem of expired food waste. Offline, we work with merchants to collect and distribute expired food to the public free of charge, and online, we continuously update social media to popularize expired food and develop a small program that allows the public to communicate directly with merchants and make appointments to collect expired food. The project measured the impact of the program and the satisfaction of the public through questionnaires and interviews with the audience. Through the program, 93% of the sample surveyed changed their attitude towards expired food from negative to positive; 82% gained more knowledge about expired food; and 92% were very satisfied with the program. According to social media statistics, over 10,000 media views were recorded during the program, achieving a more successful online popularization effect. In the future, our project will continue to distribute and establish cooperation with more merchants, in order to protect the environment and sustainable development of the road steadily and far.

Views from the other side

The study explores the perspectives of political parties regarding news media coverage in election campaigns. By analyzing official post-election analyses produced by Swedish political parties from 2010 to 2022, the study offers a novel approach to the study of political party views of news media. The findings largely support the arguments proposed by mediatization literature, highlighting the significance of media in party communication. Parties display eagerness to attract positive media attention while expressing regret over inadequate or negative publicity. More surprisingly, there is a lack of references to media bias in the reports, suggesting that the hostile media effect is not a major concern among Swedish parties. Despite criticisms related to irrelevant reporting and perceived negative coverage, party perceptions towards the media remains predominantly neutral. The study contributes to the understanding of the complex relationship between political parties and news media in the context of election campaigns.

Brand heritage on Twitter: a text-mining stereotype content perspective

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine how users on social media view brands with a heritage. Consumers commonly post opinions and accounts of their experiences with brands on social media. Such consumer-generated content may or may not overlap with content desired by brand managers. Drawing from “The medium is the message” paradigm, this study text-mines user narratives on Twitter1 to shed light on the role of social media in shaping public images of brands with heritage through the lens of the stereotype content model.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a data set of almost 80,000 unique tweets on 12 brands across six categories, compares brands high versus low in heritage and combines dictionary-based content analysis with sentiment analysis.FindingsThe results indicate that both user-generated content and sentiment are significantly more positive for brands low rather than high in heritage. Regarding warmth, consumers use significantly more positive words on sociability and fewer negative words on morality for brands low rather than high in heritage. Regarding competence, tweets include more positive words on assertiveness and ability for low-heritage brands. Finally, overall sentiment is more positive for brands low rather than high in heritage.Practical implicationsImportant from co-creation and integrated marketing communication perspectives, the findings provide brand managers with actionable insights on how to more effectively use social media.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research is among the first to examine user-generated content in a brand heritage context. It demonstrates that heritage brands, with their longevity and strong links to the past, need to be aware of how contemporary social media can detract from their image.

The Public View on Social Media Platforms: A Case Study of Pakistan

Social media and the internet technologies are affecting society. The social media environment in which we live has a significant influence on our perceptions and beliefs.

The Media View of Traditions in Modern Bulgarian Society

The Media View of Traditions in Modern Bulgarian Society

Audience labour, discourse dynamics and challenges for analysis

ABSTRACTThis paper theorises and exemplifies the place of audience labour in the propagation of Discourse and discourses. Audience labour is simply the work of people engaged in mediation processes as they gather themselves into groups defined by specific media events (sport, music, news, movies and so on). It compares the environments and practices of the mass media era and those of the current era to show that the most economically valuable work in media is done by audiences, and that that work is becoming more direct in its orientation and effects, even as it gets cheaper for advertisers and more immersive for audience members. A social media view of audience labour shows up the intensely intimate nature of personal commodification: feelings, attitudes, opinions, outrages, general states of mind and being are all grist for the digital economy mill. Outrage systems are especially profitable. They provide grounds for what I call ‘discourse industrial sectors’, or, those groups of people making a living and sometimes a fortune fighting on one side or another of the so-called culture wars. I argue for a conception of rhetorical purpose as a guide for analysing current media environments that depend on social media.

Consent-deception: a feminist cultural media theory of commonsense consent

This article draws on feminist cultural studies, media and cultural theory, and engages with feminist law and criminology, to argue for a newly invigorated conceptualisation of consent in feminist theory. Rather than advance a particular feminist theory of consent, the article argues for a feminist cultural media theory of commonsense consent that is both sensory and representational. This theory acknowledges that there is no concept of consent reserved for sexual encounters. Rather, a more universal, commonsense theory, shaped as much by twentieth-century media as eighteenth-century political philosophy, informs how consent shows up to social experience. The article offers a revision of feminist discussions about consent in law, political philosophy and cultural studies, proposing that accounts such as Laura Kipnis’ Unwanted Advances: Sexual Paranoia Comes to Campus can be read as descriptions of consent's affective structure. Feminist accounts have underestimated the implications of the involvement of media, from early cinema through to contemporary social media, in co-locating consent with deception. This article shows how the media concept of consent-deception plays a role in suspicion and betrayal, both of which act as consent's structures of feeling. To further probe an enquiry into how personalised media are transforming commonsense consent, the article discusses the TV programme The Tinder Swindler. Various production techniques encourage a view of social media as a complete encapsulation of the social life and affectivity of consent-deception, suggesting a number of implications for a feminist cultural media theory of commonsense consent. In particular, the programme asks us to problematise the evidentiary status of informational social media linked to the changing perceptibility of consent-deception.

Curriculum Innovations: A Social Media-Based Educational Curriculum Improves Knowledge for Trainees in Neurocritical Care: Results of a Stratified Randomized Study.

The Neurocritical Care (NCC) Society Resident and Fellow Task Force's NEURON study concluded that learners had significant concerns regarding the need for educational improvement in NCC. To address these shortcomings, we identified the lack of an educational curriculum for trainees in NCC and developed a Twitter-based educational curriculum for trainees to improve knowledge in NCC. The objectives of this study were to describe the pathophysiology, delineate a systematic diagnostic approach, and apply evidence-based strategies in the management of diseases in NCC. Ten trainees developed a Tweetorial (educational content available on Twitter)-based curriculum, with individual review by at least 2 NCC faculty. Learners were recruited through Twitter and randomized to 1 of 2 groups in a wait-list control prospective study. Group 1 completed the curriculum in the first 6 months of the 2021-2022 academic year, and group 2 completed the curriculum in the second half. Tweetorials were posted weekly on a private Twitter account only available to the active learner group. Learners were assessed by a multiple-choice format test (written by the trainees and reviewed by faculty) at 3 time points: before the first Tweetorial was released (preeducational curriculum assessment), after group 1 completed all tutorials and before group 2 started the curriculum (assessment 1), and after both groups finished (assessment 2). The primary outcome was the mean score on the second and third assessments. One hundred forty-six learners were assigned to group 1 or 2 using stratified block randomization including 99 (68%) Neurology residents, 81 (55%) US-based. Each group was composed of 73 participants. A total of 20 Tweetorials were published on a private Twitter account (@NeurocriticalE). Completed assessments were obtained from 100, 32, and 18 learners for the pre-educational curriculum assessment, assessment 1, and assessment 2, respectively. Group 1 and group 2 performed similarly in the pre-educational curriculum assessment. A potential for knowledge improvement was observed in group 1 at assessments 1 and 2 when compared with the learner group 2. Group 1 had more impressions, engagements, likes, URL clicks, and media views. Although there was some learner attrition, our study demonstrates that social media can effectively deliver educational content and engage a diverse group of trainees around the globe.

The rights of Iraqi women between legislation and application A survey of a sample of Iraqi women journalists

The talk about women's rights is one of the new old words. It is renewed despite all the divine religions and the laws enacted by the Holy Quran. The Quran has distinguished women in the importance of respecting their rights and honoring them. The care and respect of women is one of the most important rules in Islamic legislation that affirms this right in all fields but in the ground, these heavenly laws are transformed into verses that we read and do not work with, and the laws are reserved for materials between the books and on the shelves of libraries without finding those who apply them. In many institutions today, governmental and educational, even when they are headed by those with a religious character, those who ignore these rights have been the media women most affected by this subject because of the harassment and abuse even from their colleagues in the work because they do not understand the importance of their existence or because they consider them to contend with the place, which is a very late view of women. The media despite the call for freedom of expression and members of paragraphs of it in the Constitution, It gives the opportunity to express its opinion, but that there are many advocates of women's rights are the most people in their application has spread the latest phenomenon of violence is strange to our Muslim community, which works with the Koran and the Sunnah of the noble Prophet and women in many environments in our society, From this point of view, the idea of research on women's rights comes from legislation and application from the point of view of media. The research relies on the survey method through a questionnaire distributed to a sample of Iraqi women journalists belonging to multiple generations to find out their views and attitudes on the reality of the application of these legislations and laws that guarantee the rights woman Keywords: women's rights, legislation, laws, Iraqi women journalists, survey study.
