The journalism-audience relationship in the digital age: A theoretical literature review
The journalism-audience relationship is a key research topic within communication and journalism studies. Digitalization, which has transformed the relationship, has made it even more relevant to both journalism practice and research. There is a large body of literature that examines how the relationship between journalism and its audience has changed, what the mutual expectations are, and how the audience can actively participate in journalism. …
The complexities of digital media use in adolescents’ learning and academic performance: An experience sampling study
The increasing amount of time adolescents spend engaged with digital media has raised concerns about its impact on academic performance. This study investigates the relationship between adolescents’ digital media use and academic performance, considering the mediating role of time spent on schoolwork. Between September and November 2022, 3,087 responses were collected from 343 Austrian students using the experience sampling method. The data captu…
Revealing the interplay between digital media use and affective well-being across developmental stages: Results of an experience sampling study with Austrian adolescents
The debate about the impact of digital media use on youths’ well-being is polarized. We provide a comprehensive examination of the relationship between digital media use and adolescents’ affective well-being, investigating both within-person and between-person associations. We also examined how age and gender moderate these relationships, considering developmental stages. Using the Experience Sampling Method (ESM), we collected 3,087 responses fr…
Time for digital media but no time for school? An investigation of displacement effects among adolescents of gen X, Y, and Z
Great expectations? A taxonomy for expectancy research in journalism studies
Expectancy research in journalism studies is characterized by a heterogeneous use of terms related to expectations, reflecting the complexity and ambiguity of the expectation construct. To enable a systematization and classification of different expectation concepts, we develop a taxonomy comprising seven criteria: Whereas the (1) dimension specifies the content of expectations and (2) dimensionality indicates the degree of complexity of the conc…
Predicting user engagement with anti-gender, homophobic and sexist social media posts – a choice-based conjoint study in Hungary and Germany
Social media are used by populist radical right parties for anti-gender campaigns to mobilize against the 'gender ideology'.Anti-gender hate speech targets women, sexual minorities, and feminist activists and therefore poses a threat to their participation in society.In this study, we examine the engagement with antigender hate speech on social media in Germany and Hungary, using anti-gender, homophobic, and sexist Facebook posts as examples.Thes…
Uncovering the Missing Pieces: Predictors of Nonresponse in a Mobile Experience Sampling Study on Media Effects Among Youth
Mobile Experience Sampling (MES) is a promising tool for understanding youth digital media use and its effects. Unfortunately, the method suffers from high levels of missing data. Depending on whether the data is randomly or non-randomly missing, it can have severe effects on the validity of findings. For this reason, we investigated predictors of non-response in an MES study on displacement effects of digital media use on adolescents' well-being…
Science communication on Twitter: Measuring indicators of engagement and their links to user interaction in communication scholars’ Tweet content
Scientists increasingly use Twitter for communication about science. The microblogging service has been heralded for its potential to foster public engagement with science; thus, measuring how engaging, that is dialogue-oriented, tweet content is, has become a relevant research object. Tweet content designed in an engaging, dialogue-oriented way is also supposed to link to user interaction (e.g. liking, retweeting). The present study analyzed con…
A women’s issue? The role of backlash and issue ownership in users’ engagement with articles about gender equality
Gender equality issues are receiving increasing media attention. At the same time, journalists reporting on such issues experience hostility and online harassment. This study investigates which factors drive users’ intentions to engage with journalistic content on gender equality issues and whether the author's gender plays a role in this. An experiment was conducted among German online users (n = 612) with issue ownership and backlash as two cen…
Signaling news outlet trust in a Google Knowledge Panel: A conjoint experiment in Brazil, Germany, and the United States
Using data from a conjoint experiment in three countries (Brazil, n = 2038; Germany, n = 2012, and the United States, n = 2005), this study demonstrates that journalistic transparency can cue trust at the level of the entire news outlet—or domain level—using a Google Knowledge Panel that comes up when people search for a news outlet. In Brazil and the United States, two pieces of information in a Knowledge Panel provided the strongest heuristics …
How to tell the kids? Parental crisis communication during the Covid-19 pandemic
Crisis communication in a pandemic is challenging for parents, who have to explain risks and prevention measures to their children without transferring their own worries. Studies about crises indicate, that inappropriate crisis communication with children can ignite fears, worries, and even trauma among them. Recommended parental communication strategies in such situations are: (1) to consider developmental level to ensure comprehensibility; (2) …
Are byline biases an issue of the past? The effect of author’s gender and emotion norm prescriptions on the evaluation of news articles on gender equality
When female journalists write about issues of gender equality, they often become the target of incivility and their work is devaluated. Research has investigated such devaluations based on journalists’ gender under the scope of byline biases, analysing if it matters to readers whether a news piece is authored by a male or female journalist. In this paper, we set out to study if gender byline biases occur when journalists write about gender equali…
Investigating Neutralization Strategies in Digital Piracy: The Role of Content Preferences and Social Norms
Digital piracy is perceived as a victimless crime and therefore still challenges media industries. According to the neutralization theory, criminal behavior is more likely if individuals are able to justify it. As little is known about inhibitors and drivers of these cognitive processes, the current study investigated such preconditions by linking neutralization to social norms and content preferences (movies and series) in order to explain pirac…
Digital visibility and the role of mutual interaction expectations: Reframing the journalist–audience relationship through the lens of interpersonal communication
In the light of a new level of reciprocal visibility in the digital age, the journalist–audience relationship has fundamentally changed. Mutual expectations become visible or evolve anew. The question arises as to how these expectations and their (non-)fulfillment influence the journalist–audience relationship. Taking an interpersonal communication perspective by following expectancy violations theory, we focus on the level of interactions and pr…
Gendered (in)visibility in digital media contexts
In digital media environments, gendered inequalities can be observed on the level of representation and participation in online discussions and digital communities as well as regarding the prevalence of gender norms in self-presentations, and power relations in social interactions. The #MeToo debate exemplifies how gendered inequalities become visible in social media but also reveals the increasing hostility against women online. Drawing on the c…
Gender role orientation and gaming behavior revisited: Examining mediated and moderated effects
The article presents results of a study that examined the influence of gender role orientations on gaming motivations, game genre preferences, and different play styles. Applying social role theory, it was hypothesized that femininity and masculinity influence gender-typed motivations (social interaction, competition, and challenge) and preferences (role-playing and action games) as well as gender-typed behavior (cooperative play and competitive …
