To Seek or Not to Seek? An Assessment of Partisan Media Avoidance and Its Correlates
Scholars have noted the importance of studying avoidance of partisan media. However, most partisan media studies have only included measures of seeking out these sources of information and assume that avoidance is operationally measured as a lack of use of partisan media. Some scholars have argued that avoidance is conceptually distinct, so assessing avoidance as a lack of use may not be the best approach to measuring avoidance. In this paper, we…
A Two-Study Qualitative Exploration of Ecological Momentary Assessment as a Tool for Media, Health Behavior Measurement
Ecological momentary assessment (EMA), a method that allows for data collection in real-time, may offer benefits for communication research. We conducted two EMA studies on different topics (i.e., alcohol and sexual content in media and social media use, emotions, and tanning) in 2017 and 2018, respectively, and completed in-depth interviews ( N = 19 and N = 16) following each study. Participants were open to the method and described potential ch…
From media to hypermedia: Journalistic representations of Rohingya refugees and humanitarian communication
The paper is a comparative analysis of two media artifacts from Reuters engaging with the ongoing Rohingya refugee crisis. One artifact are the ‘traditional’ images that won the Pulitzer Prize in 2018; the second is a special report utilising several aspects of new media. Locating the artifacts within humanitarian journalism, the analysis seeks to understand whether emergent media has pronounced gains over traditional media. The study argues that…
The Rohingya Refugee Crisis: A Social Semiotic Study of Visuals in The New York Times and The Washington Post
In this social semiotic analysis, we examined visuals of Rohingya refugees in two U.S. newspapers: The New York Times and The Washington Post. We identified prominent tropes and themes exemplifying those tropes. Visuals connoted refugee vulnerability and subscribed to gender stereotypes. Media also leaned on familiar themes to translate “distant suffering.” Our study has addressed the urgent need to bridge academic/critical work on journalism and…
Visual Framing of the Rohingya Refugees: A Comparative Examination from Newspapers in four Countries
Media depictions of refugees play a significant role in determining public attitudes toward policies and dispensation of aid. Given this centrality, the study analyzes prominent visual frames of the Rohingya refugee crisis in newspapers from Pakistan, Bangladesh, the United States, and Canada. We also examine the frames qualitatively. Findings show that overall coverage tended to focus on negative aspects by highlighting refugees’ vast numbers, v…
Gender on the agenda: Media framing of women and women of color in the 2020 U.S. presidential election
The results of this article propose three primary findings: first, the news media perpetuates and creates new stereotypes for women and women of color who run for political office; second, female journalists disproportionately write news articles about female candidates compared to their male counterparts; and finally, images of women in online news stories appear to be “vanishing,” with news articles supplementing media elements with videos and …
News Framing of the Rohingya Crisis: Content Analysis of Newspaper Coverage from Four Countries
The study examines prominent news frames, sources, and refugee characteristics present in coverage of the under-reported Rohingya refugee crisis across newspapers from four nations. Findings show victim, thematic, and administrative frames were most commonly used. Politicians, international organizations, and NGOs were dominant sources, while nationality, age, and gender were frequently used refugee characteristics. Findings suggest positive prac…
The longitudinal effects of alexithymia on romantic relationships
Using the tenets of Affection Exchange Theory, the study predicted longitudinal effects of alexithymia on both romantic relational outcomes (satisfaction and commitment) and relational communication (affectionate communication and relational maintenance behaviors). The study also predicted that Time 2 levels of relational communication would mediate the longitudinal effects of alexithymia on the relational outcomes. The results largely supported …
