CURRENT AFFAIRS PROGRAMMMES AS PUBLIC RELATIONS TOOL: A STUDY OF EBONYI BROADCASTING CORPORATION (EBBC), ABAKALIKI

The current affairs programmes of broadcast stations are considered as effective public relations tool. They bridge the gap between the government and the governed. They also attract goodwill and patronage for the station. This study focused on how effective current affairs programmes are used in Ebonyi Broadcasting Corporation (EBBC) to foist good image on the station. The survey method was used to get analyzable response from the station’s audience. The study examined the potentials of current affairs as a broadcast programme and how it can be used as a tool of public relations. It specifically sought to determine if current affairs programmes have any effect on the relationship between the audience and any particular broadcast organization; identify the problems that affect the production of current affairs programmes as a public relations tool, and proffer solutions to ineffective current affairs programmes production. It further found out that good current affairs programmes affect station-audience relationship. This is not only because good current affairs programmes induce respect for, interest in and familiarity with the station, but they, more importantly, raise the popularity of the station. Thus these are invaluable resources which every organization craves for as they are also at the root of every good public relations campaign. The study, moreover, discovered that educated adults, mostly civil servants and business men and women listen to EBBC current affairs programmes regularly to know the activities in government (their chief employer and policy maker) and in the society at large. The study however found out that lack of requisite skills, lack of programme materials and lack of touch with station’s environment and needs, and inadequate training of staff are chief among the problems affecting current affair programmes. It therefore recommended among others that broadcast establishments should be professional in their conduct to sustain and retain audience. These they can do by employing professionals in the field as well as carrying out regular training of staff to keep pace with the ever changing trend of audience appeal

Diversity in broadcasting as an enabler of capabilities: The case of Palestinian-Israeli women on public and commercial radio and television

ABSTRACT The study examines how media-portrayals of Palestinian–Israeli women, can help community members realize their capabilities. We present a comparison of the frequency and context of appearances, between different media institutions, public and commercial, and between different media technologies, radio and television, based on a sample that includes all news and current affairs programs broadcast on all five Israeli broadcast networks over 24 months (2016–2017). The results, which show underrepresentation and misrepresentation of Palestinian-Israeli women, are analyzed utilizing the capabilities-approach. Additionally, to better understand the implications of media representations on women’s capabilities, we include semi-structured qualitative interviews with 15 Palestinian-Israeli women. The analysis suggests that Israeli broadcasting hinders the full realization of six distinct capabilities for Palestinian-Israeli women, which are detrimental to their wellbeing.

Tüketim Karşıtı Yeni Yaşam Biçimi Köye Dönüşün Medyada Sunumu: Yeni Köylüler Örneği

Tüketim kültürünün yarattığı aşırı tüketim maddi doyumsuzluk, kaynakların tükenmesi, kültürel yozlaşma, çevre kirliliği ve ürün bolluğunun yarattığı kararsızlık gibi olumsuz etkiler yaratmaktadır. Bu etkilerin farkına varan tüketiciler tüketim karşıtlığı kapsamında ürün ve markaların boykot edilmesinden karşı reklamlara, çevre protestolarından freegan akıma kadar çeşitli boyutlarda aşırı tüketime ve modern yaşamın yarattığı koşullara tepki göstermektedirler. Tüketim karşıtı söylem sürdürülebilirlik, organik üretim, sürdürülebilir tüketim, çevre bilinci, konuları üzerinden de şekillenmektedir. Tüketicilerin tüketim karşıtı eğilimleri, ürün tercihlerinden tüketimi azaltan yeni yaşam tasarımlarına ya da mekansal olarak şehirlerden doğaya yeni yaşam biçimleri kuracak şekilde farklı uygulamalarda kendini göstermektedir. Tüketicilerin tüketim karşıtı eğilimlerinin oluşmasında medyanın sunduğu içerikler tüketim karşıtlığına atfedilen değerleri ve imajları ileten bir söylem yaratmaktadır. Bu bağlamda araştırmada medyanın ürettiği içeriklerde hangi temaları kullanarak tüketicileri tüketim karşıtlığı yönünde teşvik ettiğinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada önceden belirgin olmayan temaların ve boyutların ortaya çıkarılmasına ve toplanan verilerin derinlemesine analiz edilmesine imkan vermesi nedeniyle içerik analizi tercih edilmiştir. İçerikleri bağlamında TRT Belgesel kanalında yayınlanan “Yeni Köylü” programı, CNNTÜRK kanalında yayınlanan “Yeşil Doğa” programı ve TRT Belgesel kanalında yayınlanan “Bi Çiftlik” programı incelenmiştir. Program içerikleri deşifre edilerek ortaya çıkan nitel verilerin çözümlenmesinde tematik kodlama yapılmıştır.

Real-time visualization of sword trajectories in fencing matches

We developed a system called Sword Tracer that visualizes sword trajectories in fencing matches. Sword Tracer tracks the tips of the swords in the image coordinates and visualizes their movements with computer graphics (CGs). It measures each sword’s position in the infrared (IR) image by detecting IR light reflected from retroreflective tape placed on the tip of the sword. It uses only a single camera and a single marker at the tip, so the system is compact enough to be used in official fencing matches. It accurately detects the tips of the swords by using supervised machine learning and tracks them by predicting their positions in the next frame. The trajectory CGs of the sword tips can be composited on the broadcast image in real-time. Sword Tracer was first used for a broadcast at the All Japan Fencing Championships in December 2017 and has since been used for four other broadcast programs and five exhibition events from 2018 to 2020. TV viewers and guests at the events approved of this new video effect because it helped them to follow the fast-moving swords and gain a better understanding of the swordplay.

Football for all: the quality of the live closed captioning in the Super Bowl LII

In the U.S., new programming broadcast on television needs to be accessible to the hearing-impaired, and closed captioning is the tool most frequently used to provide such access. From all the audiovisual content available to viewers, live programs pose the greatest challenge to captioners, who, in this scenario, are required to provide accurate subtitles that reach the viewers with as limited delay as possible. Due to the difficulties involved in the production of real-time subtitles, research exploring the quality of live captioning is not yet abundant. However, having precise insights on this matter could help improve current practices and better accommodate the users’ needs. Drawing on existing literature from the field of Media Accessibility, this article presents the main findings of a study exploring the quality of the live closed captioning delivered during one of the most widely followed televised events of 2018 in the U.S.: the Super Bowl LII. The parameters that the Federal Communications Commission identifies with quality (completeness, placement, synchronicity and accuracy) were analyzed. The results point at completeness as the trait with more room for improvement and show that captions achieved impeccable placement, a commendable average latency and very high accuracy rates.

The characteristics of videos on demand for television programs and the determinants of their viewing patterns: Evidence from the Korean IPTV market

Korea's video-on-demand (VOD) market is led by pay TV service providers, especially internet protocol television (IPTV) service providers, and VODs for television programs (TV-VOD) represent the largest share of VOD in the country. TV-VOD is therefore of strategic importance to providers in terms of their current sales share and future growth. Focusing on the time-shift characteristics of TV-VOD and the serial complementarity of television programs, this study examines how various factors such as the characteristics of paid vs. free VOD services, and the average and variance of broadcast ratings affect VOD viewing patterns. An empirical analysis was conducted using data for TV-VODs of all television programs broadcast by major Korean broadcasters in 2015. The key findings are as follows: (1) There is an inverted-U shape relationship between broadcast ratings and TV-VOD views. This implies that there exists a positive window effect between the original broadcast and TV-VOD, with an exceptional substitution effect in segments with very high ratings. (2) Even if the average ratings are similar, there are more VOD views for programs that have a large fluctuation in ratings between episodes, mainly due to serial complementarity. (3) In terms of the distribution of VOD views over time, the initial concentration is higher in paid VOD packages and dramas, which implies that immediate decay appears for TV-VOD content because of subscriber preferences for novelty and the serial nature of drama shows. The study concludes with various implications for VOD service providers and policy makers.

Making up Audience: Media Bots and the Falsification of the Public Sphere

ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to discuss if and how Brazilian media outlets make use of automated strategies and artificial intelligence (AI) in order to produce convenient social media metrics about themselves and amplify their relevance on Twitter. We examine how media bots can manipulate online ratings, change social perception of what is relevant and increase engagement with both on- and offline media entities. We extracted three types of data: (i) 530,942 tweets containing at least one URL from Globo Group or Folha Group collected via Twitter API; (ii) URL metadata from 158,690 articles by Globo Group and Folha Group; (iii) Twitter trending topics in Brazil. Profiles that posted links were later sampled and classified using the Botometer. Automated and human accounts were analyzed regarding their posting frequency and speed. In this paper, we assess the hypothesis that the existence of media bots is affecting the Twittersphere in Brazil, where automated accounts, empowered by AI, might be responsible for a substantial share of the links to popular Brazilian media outlets on Twitter. Our research provides quantitative empirical evidence that bots are particularly active in amplifying news media links in the initial moments of spreading. Additionally, automated accounts play an important role in promoting TV broadcast programs in Brazil. Based on these evidences, we discuss the strategies adopted by Brazilian media corporations to sustain their omnipresence online that boosts their online audience.

Caribbean Voices and the Communicative Failure of the West Indies Federation

This essay argues that the short-lived West Indies Federation (1958–62) was not only undermined by the failure of the regional intelligentsia to comprehensively communicate a narrative of regionalism to the majority of the archipelago’s peoples but also further compromised by the BBC Caribbean Voices literary radio program broadcast to the region between 1943 and 1958. During this fifteen-year period leading up to federation, Caribbean Voices broadcast West Indian literature, as well as critical commentary by the program’s longest serving editor, Henry Swanzy, that generally emphasized territorial rather than regional nationalism. Consequently, the program’s content had the inadvertent effect of undermining the narrative of regionalism, at the popular level, that BBC officialdom and the region’s intelligentsia seemed to have taken for granted. The essay therefore concludes that the narrative failure of federation was prefigured in the widely and more persuasively articulated story of territorial nationalism that was presented in much of the literature and editorial commentary broadcast to the region via Caribbean Voices in the decade and a half leading up to federation.

The concrete form is that some of the da'wah programs on television present more shows than guidance, some deviate to the point of lacking in everyday examples. Whereas television, if seen from the perspective of da'wah, can be said to be an effective da'wah media. And the role of government here is institutionally represented by KPI (Indonesian Broadcasting Commission). This study aims to find out exactly how the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission's policies towards television media content, especially during the month of Ramadan. Because of KPI's findings, found violations committed by television media are a repetition of previous years. This research is a qualitative study using policy analysis as a methodology for analyzing KPI policies, which includes collecting data from online news, the Broadcasting Law, KPI's official website and MUI statement, and then analyzing the findings. The results show that if theoretically, the policies issued by KPI institutions are legally strong and must be obeyed by all parties related to KPI institutions. But in reality there are still those who have not yet implemented it. And when related to the theories above, the factors that cause implementation to fail are due to factors such as the selection of the wrong strategy, or the wrong "machine" or "instrument"; "Programming" bureaucracy is wrong; the operation operation is bad; there is something wrong at the "executive level"; or a bad response to a problem. From these factors, it could be that the factors within the KPI are the poor level of implementing policies. The lack of strict sanctions provided, so that KPI institutions do not have the authority in the eyes of media stakeholders. And can also be bad bureaucratic instruments.

СУМІСНЕ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ ЦИФРОВОГО МОВЛЕННЯ DAB+ І ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ 5G ДЛЯ ПОШИРЕННЯ АУДІОКОНТЕНТА ПРОГРАМ МОВЛЕННЯ

The option of distributing of digital audio broadcasting programs using traditional DAB + broadcasting technology and 5G mobile communication technology is considered. It is proposed to use the mobile network as a transport network to deliver content to low-power digital broadcasting transmitters operating as single-frequency network. A review of typical configurations of radio and mobile networks is done, and it is noted that using the high and medium power transmitter networks it is quite difficult to provide high-quality reception on portable and car receivers, especially in large cities with dense buildings. To eliminate areas where reception is absent, it is proposed to install additional low-power receivers, to which the content will be distributed via mobile networks.

Broadcast Media and Their Social Network Sites: The Case of Palestinian–Israeli Representations and Capabilities

This study examines how media representations of Palestinian–Israelis differ between broadcast media outlets and their social networking sites, using the “capabilities approach” as the theoretical framework. The study presents a quantitative content analysis comparison of the frequency and context of appearances of Palestinian–Israeli interviewees on all news and current affairs programs broadcast on the five major Israeli broadcast networks over twelve months, as well as the simultaneous appearances of the interviewees on the programs’ Facebook and Twitter accounts. The results suggest that social networking sites of broadcast media are more enabling of capabilities for Palestinian–Israelis relative to the broadcast media themselves. Thus, with changing consumption patterns and technological developments, this analysis points to the importance of examining social networks in addition to traditional broadcast platforms, for a more comprehensive understanding of which capabilities are enabled through traditional mass media as they expand their reach to new technologies.
