Appreciating News Algorithms: Examining Audiences’ Perceptions to Different News Selection Mechanisms
As news selection is increasingly controlled by algorithms, a growing number of scholars are exploring how news recommenders can serve public services. Despite aspirations towards public service algorithms, little is known about which type of news recommender people prefer, let alone about a news recommender that aims to promote societal values. This study aims to give insights into audiences’ perceptions to news recommenders and their underlying…
Exploring the Effect of In-Game Purchases on Mobile Game Use with Smartphone Trace Data
Microtransactions have become an integral part of the digital game industry. This has spurred researchers to explore the effects of this monetization strategy on players’ game enjoyment and intention to continue using the game. Hitherto, these relationships were exclusively investigated using cross-sectional survey designs. However, self-report measures tend to be only mildly correlated with actual media consumption. Moreover, cross-sectional des…
News Diversity Reconsidered: A Systematic Literature Review Unraveling the Diversity in Conceptualizations
Concerns about selective exposure and disinformation in the digital news environment have brought the concept of news diversity to the forefront of academic debates. Despite its growing prominence in scholarly work, however, news diversity often remains hard to grasp. The current paper aims to re-assess what the concept of news diversity means in an evolving news ecology. To do so, we draw on three dominant conceptualizations of news and media di…
(What) Can Journalism Studies Learn from Supervised Machine Learning
In recent years, scholars have explored the applicability of supervised machine learning (SML) within journalism studies. While such computational methods could be of added value to the field, the rationale for employing these supervised models harbors some assumptions that deserve further inspection. This paper seeks to specify under which conditions SML could be useful for journalism scholars and where the field stands in exploiting its potenti…
How to be a gamer! Exploring personal and social indicators of gamer identity
Over the past decades, digital games have continued to extend their audience as they moved into the cultural mainstream. Despite this fact, however, only a portion of those who play games consider themselves a gamer. Drawing on insights from social identity theory, this study explores the factors that contribute to why people attribute a gamer identity to self or others. It does so by considering 2 sites of identity construction: the social conte…
In Pursuit of Play: Toward a Social Cognitive Understanding of Determinants of Digital Play
Over the years, reasons for playing digital games have been studied from a variety of perspectives. A systematic, theoretically and empirically grounded conceptual framework which takes into account the specificity of gaming as a contextualized social, rule-based, narrative, and systemic practice has hitherto been lacking however. This paper proposes such a framework based on social cognitive theory and elaborated on by means of 37 in-depth inter…
