This paper investigates how parties spread news from traditional media on their social network accounts to engage followers. In particular, we address why parties would choose to include in the 'media digest' they carefully craft for their followers also content from 'hostile' media outlets and journalists. We analyze 4,586 Facebook posts published by the main Italian parties during the 2019 European election campaign, assessing the impact on readers' engagement of counter-attitudinal and pro-attitudinal content from either hostile or friendly media. Our results show that parties skillfully exploit friendly and hostile sources alike to alternatively engage or outrage their followers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the media consumption and media literacy of Uzbek youth based on the results of an empirical survey conducted using a questionnaire. The sources of information of young people were checked, their connection with the media, the ability to work with information and extract facts in the form of text, video, photos, critical thinking skills. According to a survey of 7,827 respondents, the results of previous surveys in this area differ. This indicates that the forms and methods of media consumption of the audience are changing. The opportunities for Uzbek youth to access the digital world are expanding, and they are actively using the media, especially the Internet. The level of media literacy for checking information is medium, with a low level of information creation. Young people do not have a deep understanding of the manipulative, commercial impact of information. While there has been progress in the consumption of digital media products, there has been a hierarchical regression in traditional media. The youth of Uzbekistan widely uses the media, has an idea of the need to regulate media consumption, the formation of media literacy. There is still no complete and complete understanding of the components of media literacy. The results of the study can be used in the development of the information policy of Uzbekistan, the introduction of media education, the integration of media education tools with other disciplines, and the creation of an information portrait of the youth audience.

5. Media Use, Feelings of Being Devalued, and Democratically Corrosive Sentiment in the US.

- Abstract
We take two approaches to understanding democratically corrosive sentiment (DCS) in the US, which we operationalize in terms of populist attitudes, conspiracy beliefs, and expectation of fraud in the next election. Our first approach is media use, which is not well understood as a correlate of DCS beyond generalities about the harms of social media and partisan news. We distinguish between mainstream news and right-wing media, and between three categories of social media: those facilitating stronger ties among users, those facilitating weaker ties, and extremist Alt-Tech brands. Our second approach to explaining DCS is attitudinal. For this, we introduce a concept called Feelings of Being Devalued (FBD), which we offer as a complement to status threat and sense of material deprivation. Using a survey of our design (
N = 2,000) fielded in the US in 2022, we show that: (1) mainstream news use and attention to right-wing media have opposite relationships with DCS; (2) not only Alt-Tech social media but also stronger-tie media such as Facebook are correlated with DCS, while use of weaker-tie social media such as X are uncorrelated in a model with a rich set of controls; and (3) FBD is strongly associated with DCS—more so than right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, and ideology.

Adolescents spend almost nine hours a day engaging with media. As a result, they are confronted with large amounts of obesogenic content that shapes their understanding of what are normal and acceptable eating behaviors. Utilizing primary data collected from a sample of 4,838 low-income, racially and ethnically diverse middle school students in Los Angeles County, I studied the effects of different types of media use (i.e., social media, TV/movies/videos, gaming, music, Internet) on dietary patterns and weight outcomes. I assessed (1) whether those effects were mediated by individual-level health behaviors (i.e., snacking while consuming media, sleep duration, physical activity); and (2) whether it was possible to buffer the deleterious effects of media consumption on eating behaviors by associating with friends who are perceived to place importance on eating healthfully, friends who are perceived to be dieters, or by having classmates who eat more healthfully, or by having classmates who are on average slim. I also examined social media specifically and assessed whether the effects on dietary behaviors were exacerbated for individuals who perceive themselves to be overweight or are trying to lose weight. In this way, I was able to gain a clearer picture of the social and environmental determinants of obesity risk in adolescents.I found that media consumption is consequential to the diet of middle school students. This was a robust finding. Independent of health behaviors, friends, classmates, weight status, and dieting behaviors, media consumption was associated with poor eating outcomes. Media consumption generally results in greater consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, junk food and fast food and less consumption of fruits and vegetables. Strong support emerged that snacking on junk food while consuming media complements other unhealthful eating behaviors. There was relatively weak evidence that sleep duration or physical activity explained the relationship between media consumption and eating behaviors. Furthermore, I looked at contextual factors and showed that friend and classmate behaviors matter independent of media consumption. That is, one’s social networks contribute to poor dietary behaviors. Finally, I examined social media use specifically and found that it was associated with poor dietary behaviors for both males and females. There was also weak evidence to suggest dieting buffers the deleterious effects of social media on eating behaviors for males. But more importantly, weight-related concerns and weight control behaviors served to restrain consumption of excess discretionary calories that come from things like sugar-sweetened beverages, junk food and fast food independent of social media consumption.Understanding and addressing determinants of eating behaviors is of critical importance. In a complex society where youth are confronted with obesogenic content in media, peer influences, and other socio-ecological factors, it is no wonder that obesity among young people is a complex and difficult issue to address. It will not be until more multi-level and well-informed public health efforts are implemented that any real change can be made in the eating behaviors and health outcomes of our youth. If this does not happen, it is unlikely that we will be able to halt or reverse the obesity epidemic among youth.

Funder: University of Oxford Covid-19 Research Response Fund; Grant(s): Project Reference: 0009519, We explore the implications of online social endorsement for the Covid-19 vaccination program in the United Kingdom. Vaccine hesitancy is a long-standing problem, but it has assumed great urgency due to the pandemic. By early 2021, the United Kingdom had the world’s highest Covid-19 mortality per million of population. Our survey of a nationally representative sample of UK adults ( N = 5,114) measured socio-demographics, social and political attitudes, media diet for getting news about Covid-19, and intention to use social media and personal messaging apps to encourage or discourage vaccination against Covid-19. Cluster analysis identified six distinct media diet groups: news avoiders, mainstream/official news samplers, super seekers, omnivores, the social media dependent, and the TV dependent. We assessed whether these media diets, together with key attitudes, including Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy, conspiracy mentality, and the news-finds-me attitude (meaning giving less priority to active monitoring of news and relying more on one’s online networks of friends for information), predict the intention to encourage or discourage vaccination. Overall, super-seeker and omnivorous media diets are more likely than other media diets to be associated with the online encouragement of vaccination. Combinations of (a) news avoidance and high levels of the news-finds-me attitude and (b) social media dependence and high levels of conspiracy mentality are most likely to be associated with online discouragement of vaccination. In the direct statistical model, a TV-dependent media diet is more likely to be associated with online discouragement of vaccination, but the moderation model shows that a TV-dependent diet most strongly attenuates the relationship between vaccine hesitancy and discouraging vaccination. Our findings support public health communication based on four main methods. First, direct contact, through the post, workplace, or community structures, and through phone counseling via local health services, could reach the news avoiders. Second, TV public information advertisements should point to authoritative information sources, such as National Health Service (NHS) and other public health websites, which should then feature clear and simple ways for people to share material among their online social networks. Third, informative social media campaigns will provide super seekers with good resources to share, while also encouraging the social media dependent to browse away from social media platforms and visit reliable and authoritative online sources. Fourth, social media companies should expand and intensify their removal of vaccine disinformation and anti-vax accounts, and such efforts should be monitored by well-resourced, independent organizations.

- Abstract
This study analyzed a large national survey, the 2016 version of American National Election Study (ANES), to identify the predictors of attitudes toward the equal rights of lesbians, gay men, and transgender individuals. Egalitarian attitudes are associated with being female, younger, more liberal, less Republican, having a higher income and a lower level of fundamentalist religiosity, as well as consuming a wider variety of news media. Liberals tend to consume a larger number of news sources than conservatives. Also, news media diet mediates, instead of moderates, the effects of political ideology on support for the LGT community. Overall, a healthy diet of news media is associated with support for equality rights.

Introduction. In the current media environment, news consumption has undergone radical changes in terms of possibilities and forms. This research article focuses on the analysis of news consumption in traditional media, on the Internet and in social media among social science students, and particularly among journalism students. Methods. Data were collected from a sample of 100 third-year and fourth-year students from five public universities located in cities with different socio-economic profiles, to determine whether environment has an impact on students’ behaviour and news consumption habits, and whether this influence is reflected on students’ routines, interest and preferences. Results and conclusions. The press, radio and television continue losing audiences and most students now get the news from digital media platforms as they are already disconnected from traditional news media outlets. Technological developments have enabled new ways of dealing with space and managing time, which have an impact on the way people access information, on news content itself and on people’s possibilities to learn about what happens around them., Introducción. En el escenario mediático actual han cambiado las formas y las posibilidades de informarse, y en esta investigación analizamos el consumo de noticias en los medios, en Internet y en las redes por estudiantes de Ciencias Sociales, diferenciando los que cursan Periodismo.

Resultados y conclusiones. La prensa, la radio y la televisión siguen perdiendo audiencia y la mayoría de los alumnos ya se informan a través de soportes digitales porque están desconectados de los escenarios clásicos. Gracias a la tecnología, existe una nueva forma de relacionarse con el espacio y de gestionar el tiempo, y esta circunstancia afecta a las formas de acceso, a los contenidos informativos y a las posibilidades de conocer lo que sucede en la actualidad.

Highlights • Created an automated system to verify COVID-19 news and information. • Leveraged multiple platforms to mimic contemporary “media diets”. • Used an accessible news feed, allowing mainstream adoption. • Enabled future research to help consumers make informed decisions about accuracy. • Built infrastructure for crowdsourcing COVID-19 misinformation data., There is an abundance of misinformation, disinformation, and “fake news” related to COVID-19, leading the director-general of the World Health Organization to term this an ‘infodemic’. Given the high volume of COVID-19 content on the Internet, many find it difficult to evaluate veracity. Vulnerable and marginalized groups are being misinformed and subject to high levels of stress. Riots and panic buying have also taken place due to “fake news”. However, individual research-led websites can make a major difference in terms of providing accurate information. For example, the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center website has over 81 million entries linked to it on Google. With the outbreak of COVID-19 and the knowledge that deceptive news has the potential to measurably affect the beliefs of the public, new strategies are needed to prevent the spread of misinformation. This study seeks to make a timely intervention to the information landscape through a COVID-19 “fake news”, misinformation, and disinformation website. In this article, we introduce CoVerifi, a web application which combines both the power of machine learning and the power of human feedback to assess the credibility of news. By allowing users the ability to “vote” on news content, the CoVerifi platform will allow us to release labelled data as open source, which will enable further research on preventing the spread of COVID-19-related misinformation. We discuss the development of CoVerifi and the potential utility of deploying the system at scale for combating the COVID-19 “infodemic”.

Los estudios indican que los jóvenes han modificando sus die-tas mediáticas y cada vez navegan más por Internet en detri-mento del consumo televisivo. Las conclusiones que se presen-tan son resultado de un estudio cualitativo centrado en las moti-vaciones que llevan a los/las adolescentes de clase media-baja de Barcelona y Lima a consumir un medio u otro en determina-dos contextos. Concretamente, se estudian los usos de la televi-sión y de Internet: para qué consumen los y las jóvenes la tele-visión y para qué navegan por Internet. El artículo repasa las conclusiones de los principales estudios sobre jóvenes y con-sumos mediáticos y recoge las distintas reflexiones teóricas alrededor de la ‘guerra de las pantallas’./nLa principal conclusión es que, mientras la televisión se considera un modo de desco-nexión, Internet se ha convertido en fuente de entretenimiento y socialización. Los usuarios siguen asociando la pantalla de televisión a un uso relajante. Se reflexiona también sobre las carencias en competencia mediática de los jóvenes entrevistados./nLa metodología se ha basado en la realización de cuatro focus groups con 41 alum-nos/as entre 14 y 17 años de clase media-baja de once centros de educación secunda-ria de Barcelona y Lima. Studies indicate that young people are changing their media diet and they surf online at the expense of television viewing. The conclu-sions presented here are based on the results of a qualitative study. The study focuses on the motiva-tions that drive adolescents of the lower-middle class society of Barcelona and Lima to consume one media or another depending on the context. We are most importantly studying the use of television and Internet: why young people watch television and surf on the Internet. The article reviews the findings of major studies on youth and media consumption and collects the different theoretical reflections regarding the 'war of screens'./nThe main conclusion is that while television is considered an off mode, the Internet has become a source of entertainment and socialization. Users still associate the television screen as a relaxing concept. The article also reflects the youth gaps on media competition./nThe methodology is based on four focus groups of 41 students. The students are aged between 14 and 17 and are from the lower-middle class society of eleven high schools in Barcelona and Lima.

Desde una reflexión teórica, el artículo evidencia la influen-cia de la tecnología en la evolución del espacio de recepción televisiva, exigiendo a los investigadores del campo un ma-yor nivel de formación ante la responsabilidad que conlleva el momento actual. Finalmente insinúa líneas de acción para aquellos que persiguen contribuir a que las nuevas audien-cias alcancen la competencia mediática en un escenario de convergencia digital, que impone nuevos retos y múltiples posibilidades. El trabajo se centra en la sociedad digital en un contexto de convergencia digital esbozando los profun-dos cambios sociales en el que surgen nuevas audiencias, a veces escasamente cualificadas para afrontar estos universos digitales. Sin duda, está emergiendo una nueva generación, que se vislumbran autodidacta, con jóvenes capaces de co-municarse y producir con los dispositivos tecnológicos a los que tienen acceso, a veces con escasas competencias mediá-ticas. Este, hasta hace poco tiempo, inimaginable contexto se dibuja por la nítida desigualdad entre nativos y migrantes digitales, en una doble condición de responsabilidad, porque las nuevas posibilidades de acceso, distribución, consumo y producción de información y conocimiento exigen un re-planteamiento de preguntas, estrategias y participación, ante unas audiencias más expuestas y menos formadas., This work takes the transcendence of the emerging, vigorous concept of “media competence” to describe the evolution of the increasingly ubiquitous presence of communicative technologies in the society of digital leisure and information, and especially the impact of the Internet, in our lives. These changes in space and time that were already in motion thanks to the “television era” are now much greater in this new age of the network of networks. They present new challenges to this “society of screens” which now faces new audiences who are permanently exposed to any number of screens that are more reachable, accessible and univer-sal by the day. This work is based on the digital society within a context of digital convergence, and outlines the profound social changes that give rise to new audiences who are barely qualified to confront these digital universes. A new generation of young people is emerging that is self-taught and capable of communicating and producing with the technology available to them, often with hardly any media education. This context which would have been inconceivable until recently is now seen as a growing gap between digital natives and digital migrants. This merely increases the responsibility to find new opportunities for access, distribution, consumption and production of knowledge and information and which demands that we reformulate the questions, strategies and forms of participa-tion for audiences who are more exposed but less prepared.

- Abstract
Desde una reflexión teórica, el artículo evidencia la influencia de la tecnología en la evolución del espacio de recepción televisiva, exigiendo a los investigadores del campo un mayor nivel de formación ante la responsabilidad que conlleva el momento actual. Finalmente insinúa líneas de acción para aquellos que persiguen contribuir a que las nuevas audiencias alcancen la competencia mediática en un escenario de convergencia digital, que impone nuevos retos y múltiples posibilidades. El trabajo se centra en la sociedad digital en un contexto de convergencia digital esbozando los profundos cambios sociales en el que surgen nuevas audiencias, a veces escasamente cualificadas para afrontar estos universos digitales. Sin duda, está emergiendo una nueva generación, que se vislumbran autodidacta, con jóvenes capaces de comunicarse y producir con los dispositivos tecnológicos a los que tienen acceso, a veces con escasas competencias mediáticas.

- Abstract
Studies indicate that young people are changing their media diet and they surf online at the expense of television viewing. The conclu-sions presented here are based on the results of a qualitative study. The study focuses on the motiva-tions that drive adolescents of the lower-middle class society of Barcelona and Lima to consume one media or another depending on the context. We are most importantly studying the use of television and Internet: why young people watch television and surf on the Internet. The article reviews the findings of major studies on youth and media consumption and collects the different theoretical reflections regarding the 'war of screens'. The main conclusion is that while television is considered an off mode, the Internet has become a source of entertainment and socialization. Users still associate the television screen as a relaxing concept. The article also reflects the youth gaps on media competi-tion. The methodology is based on four focus groups of 41 students. The students are aged between 14 and 17 and are from the lower-middle class society of eleven high schools in Barcelona and Lima, Los estudios indican que los jóvenes han modificando sus dietas mediáticas y cada vez navegan más por Internet en detrimento del consumo televisivo. Las conclusiones que se presentan son resultado de un estudio cualitativo centrado en las motivaciones que llevan a los/las adolescentes de clase media-baja de Barcelona y Lima a consumir un medio u otro en determinados contextos. Concretamente, se estudian los usos de la televisión y de Internet: para qué consumen los y las jóvenes la televisión y para qué navegan por Internet. El artículo repasa las conclusiones de los principales estudios sobre jóvenes y consumos mediáticos y recoge las distintas reflexiones teóricas alrededor de la guerra de las pantallas. La principal conclusión es que, mientras la televisión se considera un modo de desconexión, Internet se ha convertido en fuente de entretenimiento y socialización. Los usuarios siguen asociando la pantalla de televisión a un uso relajante. Se reflexiona también sobre las carencias en competencia mediática de los jóvenes entrevistados. La metodología se ha basado en la realización de cuatro focus groups con 41 alumnos/as entre 14 y 17 años de clase media-baja de once centros de educación secundaria de Barcelona y Lima.

"Web generation", "Nintendo generation", "e-generation" and so forth, are just a few among the popular generational definitions often mentioned not only in journalistic simplifications but also in scientific publications. This paper presents a theoretical examination of the implications and the limits of the generational approaches to audience research, in order to show under what conditions they can in fact be both relevant and useful. Refusing the simplifying attitude that dominates in popularization just quoted, the analysis develops the sociological tradition, drawn on the work of Mannheim, that studies the generations as a collective subject bound by a shared historical semantics, a resource of models of interpretation and linguistic devices by means of which experiences are thematicized and crystallized in a common "we-sense". On the basis of a certain body of empirical evidences, the authors outline some significant aspects and mechanisms of the mutually reinforcing relationship between media diet and generational semantics, pointing out the capacity of certain specific products to unite the generations in shared cultural legacy. The article concludes with a look to European framework, suggesting that a common European culture must be promoted by institutional strategies that look at the media as means for its dissemination, and that take stock both of local construction of identities and of cultural diversification between generations., JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education, 1-2007: Europe as an Educational Framework: Cultures, Values and Dialogues

- Abstract
“Web generation”, “Nintendo generation”, “e-generation” and so forth, are just a few among the popular generational definitions often mentioned not only in journalistic simplifications but also in scientific publications. This paper presents a theoretical examination of the implications and the limits of the generational approaches to audience research, in order to show under what conditions they can in fact be both relevant and useful. Refusing the simplifying attitude that dominates in popularization just quoted, the analysis develops the sociological tradition, drawn on the work of Mannheim, that studies the generations as a collective subject bound by a shared historical semantics, a resource of models of interpretation and linguistic devices by means of which experiences are thematicized and crystallized in a common “we-sense”. On the basis of a certain body of empirical evidences, the authors outline some significant aspects and mechanisms of the mutually reinforcing relationship between media diet and generational semantics, pointing out the capacity of certain specific products to unite the generations in shared cultural legacy. The article concludes with a look to European framework, suggesting that a common European culture must be promoted by institutional strategies that look at the media as means for its dissemination, and that take stock both of local construction of identities and of cultural diversification between generations., “Web generation”, “Nintendo generation”, “e-generation” sont définitions générationales presentés pas seulement par les journaux, mais aussi par la literature scientifique. Cet essay veuy analyser d’un point de vu sociologique les implications et les limites des approches générationaux à l’étude du public des media, pour comprendre les conditions auquelles ils sont utiles. L’analyse se develope à partir de la pensée de Mannheim, qui étude les générations comme subjets collectives fondés sur la condivision d’une specifique sémantique historique. Cette sémantique constitue une resource de modèles interpretatifs et de dispositifs linguistiques qui aident à lier les experiences dans un « sens commun » partagé. Sur la base des résultats de leur recherche, les auteurs soulignent quelques important aspects des rélations entre la reception des média et les sématiques générationales, qui rendent possible la condivision de products culturel à partir d’une vraie culture générationelle. L’essay se termine avec l’idée que une culture européenne doit être promotée à travers des strategies institutionnelles, qui utilisent les média comme instruments de dissémination, mais qui aussi respectent les différences culturelles des différents pays et des différent générations.
