- Abstract
Dams are a globally important social-ecological issue, and the practice of removing aging or obsolete dams is increasing in many countries where rivers have been used to fuel industrial growth. News media play an important role in providing information and raising awareness about dam-related decision making and patterns in news media coverage can shape public sense-making about potentially controversial dam decisions. This research focuses on spatial patterns of news media references to "dam removal" georeferenced to a New England dams database, the types of dam removal characteristics that contribute to newsworthiness, and specific media framing strategies. We develop a method, known as DAMMDA, that combines a large geodatabase of dam features and corpus of news media articles. We find that spatial patterns of "dam removal" news media coverage do not necessarily coincide with the actual occurrence of removed dams, nor the distribution of extant dams, in the landscape. Instead, a minority of dams with specific characteristics make up the majority of dam media references. Such "newsworthy dams" are capable of generating hydroelectricity, are situated on large rivers, are located in urban areas, or have already been removed. Further, references to newsworthy dams are often used to frame discussions about future dam decisions in other locations in New England and across the United States. We conclude by reflecting on how this approach is relevant for understanding complex and interconnected factors that can shape controversial sustainability issues, such as the relationships between news media and social-ecological characteristics of infrastructures within landscapes., (© 2022.

5. THE PRESS AND THE PUBLIC'S FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT OF ACCESS TO TERRORISM ON TRIAL: A POSITION PAPER.
- Subjects
TERRORISM ,TRIALS (Military offenses) ,PRESS ,MASS media ,LEGISLATIVE amendments - Abstract
This article discusses the right of access to terrorism on trial in the U.S. Military tribunals have been used periodically throughout United States history. The Supreme Court has been asked to consider their constitutionality and jurisdiction on a number of occasions. However, as of the writing of this article no court had yet considered whether the press and public have a First Amendment right of access to proceedings in military tribunals, as they have for proceedings in Article III courts and U.S. Military courts-martial. That may be because the last military tribunal convened in this country was in 1946, long before the United States Supreme Court recognized the public right of access to criminal proceedings. Or, it may be because military tribunals have traditionally been used in the most heated and uneasy times of war, when there was little time to consider the First Amendment rights of the press and public. With little fanfare and without delay, these military tribunals swiftly dealt with violators of the laws of war.

In late nineteenth-century USA, technological developments in paper production—a shift from a reliance on scarce cotton rag to plentiful wood—drastically reduced the price of newsprint. That decline helped overturn the reigning economics of the daily newspaper and resulted in the rise of new cheap papers with vastly expanded circulation. This novel mass press encompassed almost all Americans in the public sphere as represented by its pages. Focusing on newspapers in Detroit, this study examines the manifold consequences this shift had for the press's economics, its news agenda, and the implicit identity of the audience it addressed. The rise of a mass press in the late nineteenth century, however, was not specific to Detroit or the USA. As comparative historians have highlighted, the emergence of a mass press in Europe and elsewhere was a turning point that deeply marked the historical evolution of press systems around the globe.

- Abstract
This paper describes a curricular project in which a network of media educators, in making a case for the educational and social values of an interactive documentary, integrated it in a media degree program to encourage activism in students and promote civic engagement. The project provides valid and important results in an immediate sense, while also establishing the foundation for strengthening the media curriculum at educational institutions. For educators, this has positive implications, as along with the traditional content we teach, we also strive to increase the awareness of civic issues among our students to make them better citizens.

12. Functioning of Emotive-Evaluative Vocabulary in a Political Text

Polyakova, Liliya S., Suvorova, Elena V., and Trutnev, Alexey Yu
- Abstract
This paper is aimed at highlighting the problem of the use of emotive-evaluative vocabulary in the English-language mass media political discourse, which is a relevant topic since the scope of media texts in English is widespread in the information community and the media language is the basic means for communication, phrasing, conveying and storing information. Political discourse is a popular area of research of linguistics, as it covers all aspects of modern life and society. Being mainly broadcasted by the politicians, it is considered a complex linguistic phenomenon, whose objectives, direct or indirect, are aimed at disseminating, implementing political authorities and obtaining the majority of votes during the election campaigns. The article is devoted to the evaluation categories, which refer to the semantic and pragmatic categories and can be one of the strongest tools of influence on the public. Within the framework of our research 29 English articles, posted on the Internet, concerning the political leaders of the United States and Great Britain, attributing the personal characteristics to them, were analysed. Using the continuous sampling method there was found 214 examples of English emotive-evaluative vocabulary. During the study, the methods of compilation, interpretation, and descriptive methods were used.

This study examines 17 U.S. Supreme Court transcripts in oral arguments that took place in mass communication-related cases from December 8, 2004 to April 22, 2008. Researchers sought to understand differences among Justices in type of prompts given to lawyers at oral argument. In order to accomplish this, we categorized each prompt by a Justice as one of the following types: open-ended (who, what, when, where, why and how questions); disjunctive (question offers alternative possible answers); yes/no questions; leading questions (question itself suggests desired answer); rhetorical questions; and declarations or statements. These categories were derived from literature in interpersonal communication and legal studies. We hypothesized Supreme Court Justices would fall toward the non-question controlling, rather than open-ended inquisitive, end of what one scholar called the "continuum of control." Results are presented to discuss Justices' information-seeking profiles and the implications for broader communication study. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Indirectly experienced negative life events are not considered Criterion A traumatic events per DSM-5 posttraumatic stress disorder diagnostic criteria, yet individuals indirectly exposed to trauma via the media may report these events as peak traumatic experiences. We studied which events people considered to be the "worst" in their lifetimes to gain a better understanding of the types of events individuals consider to be distressing. This longitudinal study included a nationally representative sample of U.S. residents living outside New York (N = 1,606) who were exposed to the September 11th, 2001 (9/11) terror attacks exclusively via the media. Bereavement was the most frequently cited "worst" life event (42.0%); violent events were cited by 11.4% of the sample. However, 22.0% of respondents reported 9/11 as their worst life event even though they did not directly experience the attacks. More lifetime exposure to violent events and bereavement, odds ratios (ORs) = 0.79 and 0.72, respectively, and a college education, OR = 0.61, were associated with decreased odds of naming 9/11 as one's worst life event. Watching 4 or more hours of 9/11-related television coverage in the week after the attacks, OR = 1.67, and identifying as African American, OR = 2.01, were associated with increased odds of naming 9/11 as one's worst life event 1 year after the attacks. Events experienced indirectly through the media may be considered the worst of people's lives, with important implications for assessing stressful life event history and understanding indirect exposure to negative life events., (© 2020 International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.)

Purpose The news media plays an important role in agenda setting and framing of stories about tobacco control. The purpose of this study was to examine newspaper, newswire and television coverage of tobacco issues in the USA over a 7-year period. Methods Analyses of 2004-2010 news media surveillance system data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Office on Smoking and Health, based on content analysis and quantitative methods. Information on extent of news coverage, and types of tobacco-related themes, were examined from articles in 10 newspapers and 2 major newswires, as well as transcripts from 6 national television networks. Results The overall extent of newspaper, newswire and television stories about tobacco, and level of coverage by specific media outlets, varied over time, especially for newspapers. Nevertheless, there was an average of 3 newspaper stories, 4 newswire stories, and 1 television tobacco-related story each day. Television stories were more likely to contain cessation/addiction or health effects/statistics themes and less likely to contain secondhand smoke or policy/regulation themes than newspaper/newswire stories. There was more variation in the choice of tobacco theme among individual newspapers/newswires than television media outlets. Conclusions News coverage of tobacco in the USA was relatively constant from 2004 to 2010. Audiences were more likely to be exposed to different tobacco themes in newspapers/newswires than on television. Tracking information about tobacco news stories can be used by advocates, programs and others for planning and evaluation, and by researchers for hypothesis generation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

23. The Role of Neutral Projecting Frames in the Quest for Media Objectivity

Warren Hancock
- Abstract
This article explores the textual properties of arguably one of the most influential textual domains in contemporary society; that of mass-media discourse. Within this genre, it examines English-language hard news media reports from the United States, Great Britain and Australia focussing on the concepts of objectivity within this domain. Drawing inspiration from White's (2001, 2002a) and Martin's (2000,2004) heteroglossic engagement perspective, and Halliday's (1978, 1994)semiotic theory and model of transitivity, this paper examines a range of linguistic mechanisms employed within the genre of hard news. In particular it focuses on the linguistic resources of the so called neutral projecting clauses of attributed messages and the ways that reporters can indirectly convey attitudinal positions and engagement using these neutral mechanisms. The analysis shows that even with these so called neutral attribution framers it is still possible through semantic and linguistic means for reporters to adopt stances, to construct textual personas and to manage interpersonal positioning and relations within the genre of objective hard news.

25. Media Education Issues for Classroom Investigation in British Primary Schools.

Eke, Richard
- Abstract
This discussion of issues that merit investigation in British primary schools focuses on those issues that concern the links between pedagogic positions, the practices these involve, the media education issues that are thus addressed, the consequences for the activities of the learner, and the critical understandings these practices facilitate. It is noted that these issues are informed by two strands of arguments, i.e., the inadequacies of content-oriented provision of media education and the weaknesses of progressive proposals. Discussions of the issues are organized around three significant foci: (1) the children and their activities and responses in connection with any kind of media education provision; (2) teachers' perspectives on their curriculum arrangements, their concerns with mass media, and their thinking about children's learning; and (3) the classroom in action, including the practical arrangements, classroom negotiations, critical agenda, and a critique of content-bound provision. The development of a progressive model of primary media education based on a review of recent British proposals and recent American work of similar scope is then described, and a characterization of progressive primary media education based on a comparison of the proposals from both cultures is presented. A critique of the progressive model is then given, and the paper concludes by suggesting ways of enhancing this model. (19 references) (CGD)

26. Mexico: The Role of the Participatory Media in Immigration/Emigration as Culture and Political Economy.

Oseguera, A. Anthony
- Abstract
Mexican mass media, especially television, incorporates an abundance of American programming and serves as a catalyst to motivate lower strata Mexicans to pursue life in the United States, resulting in a tremendous influx of both legal and illegal Mexicans and other Latin Americans to the United States. Although Mexico benefits because many Mexicans send money home, the resultant brain drain comes at a time when Mexico's economy must accommodate an estimated 450,000 refugees from Central America. Although Mexico has had political stability and the peso has been stable with a gradual decline during most of this century, the oil fiasco, and lack of favored nation treatment by the United States has brought Mexico to the brink of disaster. If it were not for the special interests of the United States, and several European governments and their banks, Mexico might have collapsed. Utilizing an historical-descriptive, theoretical research methodology, the paper examines immmigration-emigration patterns as cultural, economic, and political determinants that affect-effect the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of the Mexicans mass media system. The Soviet Union is juxtaposed against the United States and Latin America to determine the extent of its involvement in this hemisphere. (NQA)

In the early twentieth century, American newspapers enjoyed high circulations while presenting readers with diverse and plentiful content. After 1920, radio broadcasting made even more information available for public consumption, giving audience members an abundant range of media choices. During a time of plenty for readers and listeners, companies in the business of media struggled with the opposite problem: scarcity. As the amount of media content proliferated, the practical ability to disseminate it was determined by the access to scarce resources, and this was true for both radio broadcasting and newspaper publishing. In many respects, the history of the American mass media in the early twentieth century might best be told as a tale of two scarcities, one—the electromagnetic spectrum—defined by absolute limits and the other—the newsprint—defined by access to markets for a particular material, the supply of which often fluctuated in availability and price.

33. Higher Education Corruption in the World Media: Prevalence, Patterns, and Forms

Osipian, Ararat L.
- Abstract
Corruption in higher education is a newly emerging topic in the field of education research. There is a phenomenal growth in the number of media reports on corruption in higher education over the last decade. However, the rigorous systematic research on education corruption is virtually nonexistent. This paper considers corruption in higher education as reflected in the world media, including such aspects of corruption as its prevalence, patterns, and dominating forms. It follows publications in the specialized and the non-specialized media outlets in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Russian Federation. The publications are grouped depending on the particular problem they address. This criterion has been chosen as best addressing the issue of corruption internationally. Socio-economic context of educational reforms and changes in each country leaves its print on major forms of corruption in higher education. The findings help to determine which aspects of corruption in higher education should be given more consideration in the future research and which ones might be prioritized, as well as how the national systems of higher education can be improved.

Besser, Howard
- Abstract
This paper describes the notion of two-way communication, wherein the receiver can question or challenge the transmitter of the information, and shows how it differs from the one-way forms of communication that are more prevalent in developed countries today. Pointing out that today's broadcast and mass-market print media usually take the form of one-way communication, which is characterized by its speed and ability to reach a large number of people instantly, the paper focuses on the role of gatekeepers (transmitters) in one-way communication as they control and package the information that is disseminated and are not responsive to questions from the receivers (the general populace). The societal and technological changes that have paralleled the move from two-way to one-way communications are also discussed. Using the traditional newspaper as an example, a model is then proposed which incorporates the speed of one-way communication while preserving feedback, i.e., the ability for the receiver to obtain further information and clarification, and to enter into dialogue with the transmitter. Finally, the paper examines two recent social-change situations--the Berkeley Anti-Apartheid Movement and Solidarity Poland--to show the various ways in which the modified two-way communications model has been effective. Diagrams of the models discussed are included. (DJR)

Background: With the development of digital pathology and the renewal of deep learning algorithm, artificial intelligence (AI) is widely applied in tumor pathology. Previous researches have demonstrated that AI-based tumor pathology may help to solve the challenges faced by traditional pathology. This technology has attracted the attention of scholars in many fields and a large amount of articles have been published. This study mainly summarizes the knowledge structure of AI-based tumor pathology through bibliometric analysis, and discusses the potential research trends and foci.Methods: Publications related to AI-based tumor pathology from 1999 to 2021 were selected from Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer and Citespace were mainly used to perform and visualize co-authorship, co-citation, and co-occurrence analysis of countries, institutions, authors, references and keywords in this field.Results: A total of 2753 papers were included. The papers on AI-based tumor pathology research had been continuously increased since 1999. The United States made the largest contribution in this field, in terms of publications (1138, 41.34%), H-index (85) and total citations (35,539 times). We identified the most productive institution and author were Harvard Medical School and Madabhushi Anant, while Jemal Ahmedin was the most co-cited author. Scientific Reports was the most prominent journal and after analysis, Lecture Notes in Computer Science was the journal with highest total link strength. According to the result of references and keywords analysis, "breast cancer histopathology" "convolutional neural network" and "histopathological image" were identified as the major future research foci.Conclusions: AI-based tumor pathology is in the stage of vigorous development and has a bright prospect. International transboundary cooperation among countries and institutions should be strengthened in the future. It is foreseeable that more research foci will be lied in the interpretability of deep learning-based model and the development of multi-modal fusion model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

39. Mass Media, Interpersonal, and Social Background Influences in Two Canadian American Settings.

Payne, David E. and Caron, Andre H.
- Abstract
A study investigated the effects of mass media, interpersonal communication, and sociolinguistic background on adults' political, cultural, and economic attitudes and agendas. Data for the study came from two earlier research efforts: one conducted in Minnesota, involved 414 adults who were interviewed concerning their media use, interpersonal contact with Canada, socioeconomic status and background, and knowledge of and attitudes toward Canadian and American political and cultural events and persons; the other, similar in design, involved interviews with 814 adults in Quebec, Canada. Analysis of data led to the following conclusions: (1) since cultural settings are unique, it is not possible to take findings from one setting and assume they will apply in another; (2) media, interpersonal communication, and sociolinguistic variables do not operate in a uniform manner across different categories of variables; and (3) caution should be exercised when examining media effects studies that do not include interpersonal and sociolinguistic variables. (Extensive tables of data are appended.) (FL)

40. Public Service versus the Market--A False Polarity? The Case of Irish Broadcasting.

Meehan, Niall and Bell, Des
- Abstract
The challenge to public service forms of broadcasting posed by the adoption of neo-liberal communication policy strategies by a number of western European governments has presented the left with a dilemma. Traditionally these public corporations have been characterized as ideological instruments of class domination. Today, however, sections of the left have rallied around the public service ideal arguing that this is the last bulwark against the cultural barbarism of the marketplace. An examination of the development of public service broadcasting in the Republic of Ireland shows that the political economy of the media requires a more informed analysis of the complex relationships that obtain between the corporate state, capital, and public broadcasting, than is to be found at present in the critical literature. In Ireland today, the state's direct financial control over Radio Telefis Eireann (RTE) serves as an increasingly important instrument of political regulation of media content, reinforcing the effect of the existing censorship legislation. The current political campaign against this legislation and the struggle of the trade unions to defend jobs and services in the public sector media field must be linked to demands for an end to censorship and for an extension of access to communication resources. Television program output statistics for home produced programs and financial information on RTE are appended. (21 end notes, 15 references) (Author/CGD)

The article presents information on the challenges newspapers are facing in the U.S. On average, newspaper circulations and the number of newspapers in existence are down nationally. About 54 percent of Americans read a newspaper during the week (62 percent on Sundays) and the number of newspapers in the country has dropped nearly 1 percent a year for two decades to 1,457 in 2002. New Hampshire's newspapers are seeking out new ways to be competitive, including trying to harness the Internet to build readership and advertisement revenue and by building mini-media empires that include a mix of daily and weekly publications. Newspapers are also going back to their roots by concentrating more on local news that can't be found through other media outlets. INSET: Competitive and Free.

The article discusses the so-called alternative or underground newspapers in the U.S. and states the difficulty in defining what these really are. It notes as to how alternative press is established and points out that it has grown old with its original audience. It compares the conventional newspapers with that of their alternative counterpart in terms of the contents. It focuses as well on the different things these alternative newspapers bring particularly when it comes to news coverage, their editors and their interest in featuring unknown writers and publishing long articles. Moreover, it presents the reason why their editors are becoming uneasy despite the fact these have become respectable.

44. Media Education: An Indian Perspective.

Kumar, Keval Joe
- Abstract
This paper provides both a preliminary analysis of a survey on media education in India, and reviews of the research on media education in the western world, the limited media education research already done in India, and the more extensive research that has been done on the sociology of Indian youth and the media. The purpose of the survey was to investigate the extent of media access and exposure, the place of exposure, content preferences, and the views of secondary school students (N=1,000), teachers (N=150), and parents (N=60) on media and computer education. Students were from three distinct types of schools, as well as from different castes and religious and socioeconomic backgrounds. Preliminary analyses of responses to completed questionnaires indicated that the majority of all students favored certain Hindi programs, but that they differed in the kind of television serial or film they liked, and the newspapers, magazines, and comics they preferred. A model of media education for India should take into account: (1) the striking similarities and differences among Indian children from different types of schools; (2) the mix of the traditional and modern in Indian society; (3) the diversity of regional, linguistic, and religious groups; (4) theories of communication developed from Indian thought and experience; and (5) the Latin American 'liberation' approach to media education which seeks to promote a dialogic and participative communication system as opposed to a top-down hierarchical communication structure.

45. Advertising, Marketing and Promotional Strategies for the Female TV Market from 1946-1980.

Schuler, Janice Lynn
- Abstract
This paper identifies major shifts in advertising and marketing addressed to the female audience between 1940 and 1980 in terms of women's labor, lifestyle, and leisure, and analyzes various popular and publicized conceptualizations of female identity and feminism from the point of view of business and marketers. The first period is identified as 1940 to 1950, which was characterized by a major shift in the workforce immediately following the war with the displacement of "Rosie the Riveter," and the subsequent shift from the "womanpower campaigns" to campaigns on domesticity and rigidly defined marital and motherhood roles. Another shift in the popular conceptualization of female identify occurring with the rise of the "women's liberation movement" in the early 1970s and the new markets which emerged during this period are also discussed. Three major topics are addressed: (1) Marxism Is Marketing Theory's Target Segmentation and Vice Versa, which includes women's role in the process of reproducing the means of production, the connection between capitalism and women's oppression, and how the interests of the patriarchal ruling class are maintained as the dominant ideology; (2) Marketing, the Market and the Social Subject, which analyzes the interaction between the advertiser and marketer and the viewer/audience/consumer in terms of full social exchange; and (3) I am Woman, I Am Market Segment, which discusses a tripartite, "segmented" model of identity as applied to the female audience from the standpoint of its importance to Marxist theorists, who are interested in achieving social change void of oppression, and to marketers, who need to objectify attitudes toward the stabilization or destabilization of society. Appendixes include lists of organizations affecting advertising and marketing; a list of laws affecting advertising in the United States; and a list of laws affecting advertising in the United Kingdom.

46. Strategies of TV News Dramatization: An Attempt of Discourse Analysis.
- Author

Mancini, Paolo
- Abstract
This paper defines indicators related to the dramatization of television and formulates a methodology for analyzing the discourse of the television news based on empirical studies. This methodology is used to isolate some indicators of dramatization as it relates to the structure and form of the message. The changes that have affected the text of Italian television news, and those other changes that are in progress after the transformation of Italian television from a public system in which the RAI monopoly prevailed to today's mixed system in which RAI competes with private television, are described. Elements of dramatization in television news that have been introduced in an effort to attract viewers are discussed at three levels: (1) the communication context; (2) the interactional level; and (3) the narrative level of dramatized news. Indicators that underscore the level of dramatization are identified as extratextual features, the structure of the discourse, and the format. All of these factors are analyzed and discussed with references to numerous studies and writings of others in the field. (6 end notes and 18 references) (CGD)

47. News as Interaction: Technology, Content and Audience.

McKnight, Lee
- Abstract
This paper proposes an integrated approach to the study of world events, as they are filtered and interpreted in the news, by systematic experimental research on the interaction of the technological characteristics of the media, the content or message, and the characteristics of the audience. Specifically, it is hypothesized that these three factors operating within the general framework of a given social, political, and economic environment (in this case the United States) may affect understanding of world events. A detailed analysis is provided of these factors, which are defined as: technology, or the technical infrastructure needed to support a mode of information distribution; content, which is the topic, format, or style of presentation; and audience of/for news, i.e., the people who do or do not view, read or listen to the news; are or are not affected by the news; and react to, have opinions about and interact with the information conveyed by newspapers, magazines, radio, and television. A final section briefly discusses the mutual complex interactions among variables relating to the technology, content, and audience for news that will be examined at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Audience Research Facility. This series of news studies has been designed to challenge the current, dominant conclusion that the content matters, but the medium of communication does not. (34 references) (CGD)

This article presents the comments of the author on the content of the newspaper "Mesabi Daily News." What sold the author on Bill Hanna, what made him believe that he had finally found the small-town newspaper of his romantic heart's desire, what drew him to Virginia, an otherwise unremarkable town in the heart of Minnesota's vast Iron Range, was not the story of Mary Peliska's sacking after seventeen years as director of the town animal shelter but rather Bill Hanna's letter to his 10,000 readers reminding them why his paper was telling the story in its familiarly relentless way. They stop to talk to him at Popper's, one of the sixteen remaining bars on Virginia's main street, or at the rebuilt Sawmill, a big, airy bar near the freight rail tracks on Route 53, or at the Whispering Bird, the spectacularly out-of-place Jamaican restaurant in nearby Gilbert where Hanna sometimes takes his dinners at the bar, the better to let people come by and tell him how much they love or hate the paper. It reflected Bill Hanna's personality, or rather a refinement of the personality that Hanna brought with him after years of journalistic wandering deposited him in a tiny newsroom in the middle of the Iron Range.

The article presents the authors' views on corporate media coverage in the U.S. of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which is a commercial treaty being negotiated secretly between the U.S. and several other countries. She states that several television news programs ignored the story on TPP even if it is regarded as newsworthy as it threatens democratic sovereignty. She offers information on TPP which would allow corporations to extract natural resources without approval from governments.
