This study examines Israeli youth's news consumption habits and perceptions in a fragmented multi-media landscape intertwined in conflictual society. Using Q methodology and in-depth interviews with participants aged 15–18, the research uncovers four distinct cross-media repertoires of news consumers ("newsers") varying by frequency, content, and platform. Our findings underscore that in the digital era, the definition of "news" has evolved, encompassing not only traditional media but also personal stories and social media updates on current affairs, including everyday life events. Building on existing literature, this research offers insights into the lives of young individuals navigating a rapidly evolving media terrain in a society marked by persistent conflict. The study sheds light on the emerging generation poised to influence Israeli democracy. Understanding their nuanced perception of news can inform content creation strategies to connect with and activate them. Our findings hold broader theoretical, methodological and practical implications for fostering civic engagement and promoting constructive action not only within Israel but also in other nations grappling with political unrest. By leveraging these insights, policymakers, media professionals, and educators can work toward cultivating a more informed and participatory citizenry, thus contributing to the advancement of democracy and social cohesion on a global scale.

Food media content has recently grown tremendously in quantity and types. To understand food media's popularity and the role they play for their audience members, this paper applies a uses and gratifications (U&G) approach to study the recipients' motives for using or encountering various food media. Where do they come across media messages about food? Do they consciously or unconsciously seek or use them, and why? How do they perceive the outcomes of using food media? Twelve focus group interviews were conducted combined with a photovoice task. Results indicate that many of the encounters with food media were accidental in nature. In total, seven gratifications for using food media were confirmed: education, entertainment, social utility, identity-building, passing the time, motivations for healthier eating, and making grocery choices. Affordance-driven gratifications were ease-of-use of a medium, accessibility of -, trust in -, and emotional connection to the medium. This study forms a basis for further audience-centered research on food content so that both scholars and content creators can better understand how food media content can meet recipients' needs and how it can be employed in communication strategies regarding, for example, conveying nutritional information or providing entertainment.

Based on a theoretical perspective of the optimum stimulation level (OSL), we investigate how the cross-media usage (multi-device and multi-app usage) of individual users influences their exploration of new music in a music-streaming platform. We also examine whether gender moderates the link between cross-media usage and new music exploration behavior. We analyze survey responses from 1116 college students in China, and our findings show a significant and positive effect of multi-device usage on new music exploration. By contrast, multi-app usage does not have any statistically significant effect. The results also indicate that being a woman positively moderates the relationship between multi-app usage and new music exploration behavior. Our study contributes to the understanding of exploratory user behavior in a new media context by linking the OSL theory to digital music consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the functioning of the cross-media system during wartime by comparing the strategy of two Ukrainian newspaper websites, one attached to the daily Vysoky Zamok, published in Lviv, and the other to the English-language weekly from the capital, the Kyiv Post. For the interpretation of data this study relies on content analysis as well as a combination of comparative and systematizing strategies. Both newspapers, as we have found, are adept at using various communication channels to push their cross-media information production and distribution. This strategy has a lot of advantages for the operator. He can get information from consumers who retain their privacy, and he can induce individual consumers to interact regularly online with media outlets offering the latest blogs, films, photos, commentaries, opinion polls, product rankings, etc. Moreover, the use of multiple media channels by the consumer may result in content being placed and reproduced in a widening circle of platforms and social media chats. Finally, it can be observed that since 2022 each platform has developed its own activity pattern (whereby the frequency of new uploads is the most important indicator of its health).

Despite being central to the media repertoire approach, operationalizations of interrelations of media repertoire components often remain limited to proportions of use, or the personal relevance of repertoire components. This paper seeks to contribute to our understanding of these interrelations by focusing specifically on one particular operationalization: the (in)compatibility of parts of the repertoire. Recent discussions in newspaper headlines indicate how Flemish reality TV-show Temptation Island might function as one such component, deemed incompatible with the repertoire of higher-educated young viewers. By drawing upon Lahire's theory of dissonance, and exploring the appropriation of Temptation Island within repertoires through a moral economy of media use, the paper explores how young viewers under thirty-five make sense of "dissonant components" within their repertoire, and alleviate the tensions that their presence can create by adopting strategies that establish distance from the text or by hiding parts of the repertoire in certain social contexts.

With the rapid growth of multimedia data (e.g., text, image, video, audio and 3D model, etc) in the web, there are a large number of media objects with different modalities in the multimedia documents such as webpages, which exhibit latent semantic correlation. As a new type of multimedia retrieval method, cross-media retrieval is becoming increasingly attractive, through which users can get the results with various media types with the same semantic information by submitting a retrieval of any media type. The explosive increasing of the number of media objects, however, makes it difficult for the traditional local standalone mode to process efficiently. So the powerful parallel processing capability of cloud computing is accommodated to facilitate the efficient large-scale cross-media retrieval. In this paper, based on a Multi-Layer-Cross-Reference-Graph(MLCRG) model, we propose an efficient parallel cross-media retrieval (PCMR) method in which two enabling techniques (i.e., 1) the adaptive cross-media data allocation algorithm and 2) the PCIndex scheme) are accommodated to effectively speedup the retrieval performance. To the best of our knowledge, there is little research on the parallel retrieval processing of the large-scale cross-media databases in the mobile cloud network. Extensive experiments are conducted to testify that our proposed PCIndex method outperform the three competitors (e.g., the PFAR (Mao et al, 22), the MBSR (Retrieval 4(2):153-164, 42) and the SPECH (Knowl Based Syst 251(5):1-13, 40)) in terms of the effectiveness and efficiency, respectively.

For urban agglomerations that contain multiple interconnected cities, carbon pollution mitigation is particularly challenging due to the complex pollution transfer among environmental media and among cities. Insufficient attention has been paid to the city‐level metabolic processes of carbon in diverse physicochemical forms and their spatial interactions, impeding the identification and management of multi‐media carbon pollution from the integrated perspective of the whole urban agglomeration. Using the Greater Bay Area of China as a case, this study reveals the dynamic characteristics and spatial influencing factors of multi‐media carbon pollution covering 30 consecutive years based on substance flow analysis and a spatial econometric model. We find increasing necessity for controlling carbon pollution in the solid state, which reached 1890 Gg C/a in 2018 and was significantly higher than that in the gaseous (290 Gg C/a) and liquid (730 Gg C/a) state. Cross‐media transfer of carbon pollution made an increasingly substantial contribution to total carbon pollution from 14.6% to 20.7%, stressing the need for treatment and harmless disposal of sludge and the control of CH4 produced from waste landfilling, wastewater treatment, and livestock manure. Relocation of heavily polluting industries and variances at the level of environmental regulation between cities causes spatial transfer of carbon pollution, while the improvement of industrial structure and the advancement of pollution treatment technology have a positive demonstration effect for carbon pollution abatement of the neighboring cities. This study demonstrates the necessity of multi‐media and multi‐city integrities in carbon pollution mitigation within clustered cities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Web video event mining based on cross-media fusion has become a research hotspot. However, each video is only described by a dozen noisy words, resulting in extremely unstable textual features. Moreover, different people might describe the same video with completely different words. Thus, the semantic association between textual and visual information would be much sparse, which brings great challenges to web video event mining based on cross-media associations. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel framework to enrich the associations between near duplicate keyframes (NDK) and terms based on multiple semantic-paths embedding. After data preprocessing, we build a heterogeneous information network to establish associations among NDKs, terms and videos. Then, semantic-path walk strategy is designed to generate meaningful semantic-node sequences for embedding. Next, an embedding fusion method is proposed to predict the distribution characteristics of each term in NDKs. Finally, multiple correspondence analysis is used to mine web video events. Experiments on web videos from YouTube show that our proposed method performs better than several state-of-the-art baseline models, with an average F1 score improvement of 19–50%.

This study investigates the propagation characteristics of rectangular Hermite-Gaussian array beams (RHGABs) through the oceanic and atmospheric turbulence considering ocean waves. Firstly, a theoretical model for the RHGABs in seawater-to-air propagation path is proposed. Secondly, we derive the expressions of the mean squared beam width and angular spread of RHGABs by using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and Rytov approximation. Finally, the effects of turbulent mediums on the RHGABs spreading are studied by analyzing the Rayleigh range. Our findings suggest that the Rayleigh range increases with the beam order of RHGABs. And the mean squared beam width of RHGABs in oceanic turbulence increases significantly higher than that in atmospheric turbulence. The results of this research can be applied to underwater optical communication systems.

The last few years have increasingly shown that the boundaries between film and television are porous. This In Focus section re-examines historical intermedial connections, calling into question the dominant narrative of rivalry and contest. Case studies on specific genres, film and television viewing practices and discourses on the emergence of television demonstrate that there were numerous points of contact and cooperation between the two media in the 1950s and 1960s, a reassessment that opens up new perspectives and paves the way for further intermedial research on film–television relations.

This paper explores the evolving landscape of cultural participatory platforms. Scientific research on this subject tends to identify and describe two opposing phenomena: on the one hand, amateur platforms rooted in participatory culture, and on the other, institutional platforms, often embodied as crowdsourcing tools. We argue for the interest in overcoming this opposition and for studying the circulation across distinct digital spaces with diverse affordances. Based on the concept of 'cross-media,' we aim to propose a new theoretical and empirical approach for analyzing and designing cultural participatory platforms. A complex methodology, combining quantitative and qualitative techniques, is defined to analyze the different digital (amateur and institutional) spaces related to the 1 Day 1 Soldier project. Building upon this case study, this paper contributes a theoretical and empirical framework for understanding participatory platforms as dynamic, multi-space environments that accommodate diverse collective and individual needs.

The development of information and communication technologies and the digitalization of the media space create new opportunities for the popularization of scientific knowledge. There is an objective need to study popular science journalism as an activity that develops a multimedia network format and various media content distribution channels. The work is aimed at analyzing the features of the development of popular science journalism on the Internet in the context of cross-media. The study employed general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis), a method of studying documents with elements of content analysis, a comparative method that includes a comparison of different types of content, as well as data from social network and messenger analytics services. The authors studied media channels and ways to promote media content, its ideological, thematic, and structural characteristics, the features of its transformation on high citation index ratings scientific-oriented platforms Nplus1.ru and Naked-science.ru. As a result of the conducted research, it was discovered that the audience involved in the studied online media is carried out through a differentiated cross-media presence, the use of rewriting, and reposting processes. Particular attention was focused on the comparative analysis of the media content of official websites, accounts in the social network VKontakte, and Telegram messenger.

Cross-media association mining based on heterogeneous information network(HIN) has received widespread attention. However, video is described by only a few words, leading to the lack of association between visual and textual information. As a result, the heterogeneous graph is inevitably incomplete, which brings great challenges to event mining. Fortunately, topological relationships can infer correlations between similar nodes. In view of this, a novel framework of web video event mining based on attention graph structure learning is proposed to generate a new adjacency matrix, which reconstructs the association among nodes. First, a novel heterogeneous network is constructed, while each relation subgraph is produced separately. Then, in each relational subgraph, feature graphs are generated by feature similarity, which can capture potential relationships between nodes. Simultaneously, semantic graph is also created by learning semantic structures to describe complex heterogeneous interactions between node semantics. Next, these graphs are fused by channel attention to reconstruct the correlation among nodes. Finally, graph convolutional network(GCN) is applied for web video event mining. Experiments on web videos from YouTube demonstrate that our proposed method is more effective than the state-of-the-art methods with significant improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We empirically examine the cross-media effects of personalized and mass media on consumers' purchase incidence in a multichannel shopping environment. We capture the cross-media effect as the combined impact of two distinct marketing communications on consumers' purchase behavior. Our data consists of individual-level transaction data and information on consumers' exposure to multiple marketing media consisting of personalized (catalog and email) and mass (television and radio) media. We find that personalized (mass) media are more influential in driving consumers' online (offline) purchases in a multichannel shopping environment. Our analysis of cross-media effects reveals synergistic (attenuating) effects between media components across (within) personalized and mass media. Furthermore, our examination of media elasticities demonstrates that discounting such cross-media effects between personalized and mass media components can bias a firm's assessment of the effectiveness of media components in a multichannel-multimedia marketing environment. Results from our model can help marketing managers in the optimal planning of integrated marketing communication in a multichannel-multimedia shopping environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Social networks have surpassed their intermediary role and become gatekeepers of online content and traffic. This transformation has favored the spread of information disorders. The situation is especially alarming in Spain, where 57% of Spaniards have at some moment believed false news. Since 2016, First Draft has promoted several collaborative verification projects that brought together newsrooms to fact-check false, misleading and confusing claims circulating online during presidential elections in several countries. The main objective of this article is to study the collaboration forged between newsrooms in Spain in order to debunk disinformation contents in 2019 under the name of Comprobado (Verified) and the impact of this initiative. Applying a methodological approach based on non-participant observation, interviews, content analysis of reports, scientific articles, books and media archives, we examine the internal uses of this platform, how journalists verified public discourse, the strategies and internal agreements implemented, and the degree of participation of the 16 media involved. Results show that only half of the initiatives begun were transformed into published reports, and the media impact achieved was limited. Finally, we note that the principal reasons for the frustration of the project were its improvised implementation, due to the date of the election being brought forward, and the scant culture of collaboration in the sector. In Spain at least, cross-media alliances are still an exception.

Journey to the West as one of the 'four great Chinese classic novels' has had an extraordinary influence across history and around the world. Journey to the West depicts how a Tang Dynasty Buddhist monk Xuanzang and his three disciples went through 81 trials to obtain the Buddhist texts (Sutras) from the Western Heaven (ancient India). Despite the novel itself being a product of a long history of adaptation, this article aims to offer an overview of the modern and contemporary cross-media adaptations of both the novel and the tale Journey to the West, with examples of literature (including web fictions), stage performances, films, TV series, manga and animation, video games and music. These adaptations not only happen in the Chinese-speaking world but also on an Asian and global level. Through introducing the extensive and diverse cases that inform an idea of 'IP (intellectual property)' as favoured in the Chinese cultural market, this article aims to point out the cultural and capital flow within this one single series of adaptations. In place of a relationship between source and adaptation, the contemporary context supports the idea of a wider context in which a source may be seen to validate a range of new and highly commercialized genres. It is developed from a presentation in the 2019 JAFP symposium Looking Back, Stepping Forward. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the media market of Ukraine during the period from 2018 to 2020. The study includes social and political phenomena that had an effect on media consumption in Ukraine. Firstly, at the end of 2018, the presidential election campaign contributed to the mass digitalization of the country. Then at the begging of 2020, news consumption was highly increased due to the situation with coronavirus pandemic. The article provides statistics on the Ukrainization of media content.

The transition from orality to writing and from analogue to digital has had deep consequences on the traditional oral heritage. Even though fairy tales have suffered from this impact much more than other genres, they have shown a high degree of adaptability to the most diverse media. This work aims to verify the repercussions digital and virtual systems have had on fairy tales in order to explore possible future scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a research on cross-media intelligent perception and retrieval analysis technology based on deep learning education in view of the complex learning knowledge environment of artificial intelligence of traditional cross-media retrieval technology, which is unable to obtain retrieval information timely and accurately. Based on the cross-media theory, this paper analyzes the pre-processing of cross-media data, transforms from a single media form such as text, voice, image, and video to a cross-media integration covering network space and physical space, and designs a cross-media intelligent perception platform system. With multi-core method of typical correlation analysis algorithm, this paper develops a new joint learning framework based on the joint feature selection and subspace learning cross-modal retrieval. What's more, the algorithm is tested experimentally. The results show that the retrieval analysis technology is significantly better than the traditional media retrieval technology, which can effectively identify text semantics and visual image classification, and can better maintains the relevance of data content and the consistency of semantic information, which has important reference value for cross-media applications.

The coronavirus pandemic sent tremors throughout the news landscape. While the onset of the pandemic appeared to significantly increase news hunger, soon after, studies reported an uptick in what they termed "coronablocking": the conscious avoidance of coronavirus related news. Younger age groups in particular appeared more likely to engage in coronablocking. This article seeks to contribute to extant research by providing a textured account of how and why young news users avoid the news. To explore these questions, we conducted 25 in-depth interviews with Belgian news users under the age of 35. We propose that news avoidance practices are fluid, as news avoidance was often preceded by moments of increased news consumption, and inherently connected to the specific spatiotemporal context of users and enacted within their broader media repertoire. In our analysis, we discuss the user-identified characteristics which lead users to a 'tipping point', at which point they avoided the news to varying degrees by reconfiguring their media repertoire. Three types of reconfigurations are identified: tuning out news content, regulating the flow of information, and controlling the tone of voice, all of which underline users' agency in shaping their repertoires to avoid the news.

Attribute learning has improved the performance in scene understanding and scene recognition. However, there are many attributes described by words or short texts in a static scene and traffic crowd scene. If there are two similar scenes, the semantic relationship topology structures of corresponding attribute groups of the two scenes are also homogeneity. But it is difficult to learn a semantic relation topology projection across semantic text data and visual data. To solve the problem, we construct approximate homeomorphism mapping based on the scene attributes semantic relational regularization. Hence, we propose a novel attribute semantic topological relationship regularization based scene attribute semantic learning(ARSL) method for scene semantic understanding. We establish a transport and travel scene recognition model based on attribute semantic features which are achieved by the proposed ARSL algorithm. In order to verify the proposed method, the experiments are implemented on the static transport-travel scene dataset and dynamic transport-travel crowds scene dataset respectively. The static transport-travel scene dataset is constructed by the SUN Attribute dataset including images and texts. However, the dynamic transport-travel crowds scene dataset is constructed through the WWW Crowd dataset including videos and texts, and the dynamic transport-travel crowd scene dataset is named as the WWW Crowd-Sub dataset. The performances of the proposed method are improved by 38.48% and 17.51% on the SUN Attribute dataset and WWW Crowd-Sub dataset respectively. The experimental results on the SUN Attribute dataset and WWW Crowd-Sub dataset demonstrate that the proposed approach has superior performance compared to state of the art. It can be demonstrated that the performance of the proposed ARSL method is effective against static transport-travel scene and dynamic transport-travel crowd scene.

This article is dedicated to one of the essential problems of improvement of the quality of education in the higher educational institutions in Ukraine nowadays that is the introduction of crossmedia into the educational process. In the article, based on the author's own experience, the essential characteristics of the cross-media, the importance of the formation of cross-media competencies in the Humanities graduates are disclosed and the effectiveness of the introduction of cross-media as an innovative technology in their training is analysed. The peculiarities of transformation and modernization of the modern didactic space are described, Ukrainian and foreign scientific and methodological works on the problem of the introduction of cross-media technologies into the educational process are reviewed, the theoretical aspects of this problem are studied, preferable sources of information and most popular platforms among students based on content analysis of ethnocentric questionnaire (hand delivered questionnaire) are revealed. An emphasis is made on the necessity to conduct media education in formal, informal and accidental ways, which lead to the formation of one’s own media product in the sphere of one’s personal interests. The author also paid special attention to the package of licensed programmes such as AdobeAudition, InDesign, Photoshop, AdobePremiere for the production of the multimedia content of high quality. On the basis of the new technological equipment the students who obtain higher education have an opportunity to realise their students’ media projects and create the journalist content in such forms as: printed production with the on-line version, video- and audio-podcasts, infographics, videoconnection, webinars etc. The effectiveness of the student-centered attitude in the educational process that motivates the future specialists to self-knowledge, self-development and self-education is substantiated. It is proved that the introduction of such technologies affects the modernization of the educational process in the higher education institution, provides the maximum approximation of education to the conditions of the future career.

In this article, we examine the correlates of fear of violence in the cross-media landscape. The study draws on the Finnish National Crime Victim Survey (n = 6,141, respondents aged 15–74 years). First, we examine from what information and media sources respondents receive information on violent crime. We then examine how consumption of different types of media and information sources on violent crime associates with the contemporary experience of fear of street violence, avoidance behavior due to threat of violence, and perceived threat of terrorism to oneself. We also examine whether this association remains when age, gender, education, past victimization, and economic strain are adjusted for. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Media economics is the study of choices, what incentives and disincentives influence them, and how to make better choices to inform company decisions, public understanding, and policymaking. The present paper reviews the development of the field since the beginning in the 1970s with scholars such as Alfonso Nieto at the University of Navarra, Nadine Toussaint Desmoulins at the University of Paris 2, and Karl Erik Gustafsson at the University of Gothenburg to the emerging of the field with more scholars from different countries. Nowadays the field of media economics research has matured and become multifaceted, encompassing a wide variety of theories and approaches necessary to explore multiple developments and issues in media structures and operations. It is particularly relevant because media and communications are amid a massive transformation created by technology, social changes, and changes in demand. Expansion of commercial media and personal communications, new means of production and distribution, and new economic arrangements are altering well established relationship and interactions in media. This situation requires clear mindedness and knowledge to comprehend the developments and to develop the best individual, firm, and social responses to the challenges arising from the changes.

The article examines the perspectives of cross-media in the field of political journalism and positioning of relevant publications in the modern media. It focuses on the psychological aspects of perception of materials of political journalism by the readership. The basic description of media tools for improving journalistic publications of political content is represented. In the sphere of political information the transition from traditional to the newest forms of information exchange, in which communications, based on technological mechanisms, become the priority. In different countries of the world, the information environment is modified in terms of new technologies, which are gradually moving into the Ukrainian information space. In journalism it is traced factually the transition into cross-media age. In the article, except the general definition of cross media as “the ability to distribute information in convincing, user-friendly and visually understandable form with various communication tools and platforms”, an alternative definition is proposed for a better understanding of this information phenomenon. The need for cross-media research in the field of political journalism is related to the general reformation of the Ukrainian information space into a cross-media version. The results of the study can be used in the form of addendum to journalist lectures in educational institutions, as well as as practical application in the work of young journalists, advertisers and publishers.

RESUMO:A partir da narrativa, Morde&Assopra (REDE GLOBO, 2011), vamos considerar a representação do conceito de robô parceiro/amigo. A presente análise vai alavancar-se nas duas personagens robô amigáveis: Zariguim e Naomi. É nossa intenção clarificar que Morde&Assopra oferece representações de robôs humanoides, atualizando o mito de Pigmalião e, assim, fornecendo, na era digital, uma resposta à demanda arquetípica pela imortalidade. Recuperando para a discussão a relação homem/máquina ou homem/parceiro e considerando que tanto o robô Zariguim como a robô Naomi surgem como personagens humanizadas no texto em estudo, por esse fato, julgamos estar em condições de poder evidenciar a urgência e pertinência da análise semiótica da face dos robôs à semelhança da que se desenvolve para a face humana. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: robô; narrativa transmedia; cross-media; semiótica; Morde&Assopra. ABSTRACT:From the narrative, Morde&Assopra (REDE GLOBO, 2011), we will consider the representation of the robot concept partner / friend. The present analysis will leverage the two friendly robot characters: Zariguim and Naomi. It is our intention to clarify that Morde&Assopra offers representations of humanoid robots, updating the myth of Pygmalion and thus provide, in the digital age, a response to the archetypal demand for immortality. Recovering for the discussion the relationship man / machine or man / partner and considering that both the robot Zariguim and the robot Naomi appear as humanized characters in the study text, therefore, we believe we can show the urgency and relevance of the analysis semiotics of the face of robots, like that which has being developed for the human face. KEYWORDS: robot; transmedia narrative; cross-media; semiotic; Morde&Assopra.

In order to meet increasing power-dissipation requirements of the electronics industry, compact, low-cost, and lightweight heat exchangers (HXs) are desired. With proper design, materials, and manufacture, polymer composite heat exchangers could meet these requirements. This paper presents a novel crossflow air-to-water, low-cost, and lightweight metal-polymer composite HX. This HX, which is entirely additively manufactured, utilizes a novel cross-media approach that provides direct heat exchange between air and liquid sides by using connecting fins. A robust numerical model was developed, which includes the dimensional effects of additive manufacturing. The study consists of a simplified 3D CFD model based on ellipsoidal-shaped staggered tube banks for the laminar range. It then uses an analytical approach to compute entire HX performance. The model is validated experimentally within 8% for thermal performance, 12% for air-side impedance, and 18% for water-side impedance. Finally, HX is compared with a conventional CPU radiator and performs within 10% of the conventional unit for reasonable flow rates and pressure-drop ranges. Moreover, HX also provides added design and cost advantages over the conventional unit, which makes the HX a potential candidate for electronic cooling applications.
