Abstract

Although news programs have been usually considered a typically informational media genre, current research suggests that they are followed not only from a rational point of interest but also from an emotional motivation (Döveling, Hoffmann 2006). Along with this perspective, an experimental study addressed the role of social interaction within news reception. 40 dyads (friends and couples) were presented a TV-news report and then asked to discuss it. Conversations were taped in order to analyze how it is processed communicatively. 40 individuals in the control group singly watched the report without subsequent interaction. In both groups evaluations and opinions were measured. Confirming the above mentioned assumption, dyads discuss news content on an emotional basis and cope with their evaluation interactively. Discussions increase the salience of selected issues and affect their subsequent perception. Communication partners reassure their personal assessments of the news and adjust their positions in the course of conversation. This demonstrates the vital role of social interaction in coping with TV-news. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
