Rethinking Media and Democracy
The principal democratic role of the media, according to liberal theory, is to act as a check on the state. The media should monitor the full range of state activity, and fearlessly expose abuses of official authority. This watchdog role is said to override in importance all other functions of the media. It dictates the form in which the media system should be organized. The traditional public watchdog definition of the media thus legitimates the…
Moisture monitoring of stone masonry
Water is a fundamental control on the deterioration of historic stone masonry , of which wind-driven rain (WDR) is an important source in the UK. Non-destructive testing methods for moisture measurement can characterise the response of masonry to short (but intense) periods of wind-driven rain. An important part of this response is how masonry functions as a system of stone units and mortar joints , in which mortar can act as a conduit for moistu…

Why Are “Others” So Polarized? Perceived Political Polarization and Media Use in 10 Countries
This study tests the associations between news media use and perceived political polarization, \nconceptualized as citizens’ beliefs about partisan divides among major political parties. Relying \non representative surveys in Canada, Colombia, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, \nNorway, United Kingdom and United States, we test whether perceived polarization is related to \nthe use of television news, newspaper, radio news, and online new…
International News and Global Integration
This study challenges the ruling orthodoxy that foreign news tends to be reported in divergent ways, reflecting the interests and identity of the home nation. Instead it concludes that the Greek and US elections in 2012 were reported in very similar ways in the leading news media of five countries located in different continents. In the case of the 2012 Chinese election, there were striking affinities in the news reporting of four out of five cou…
Pride and Prejudice
The Olympic Games are one of the most popular global mega-media events. However, the ways in which the opening of the 2012 Olympic Games in London were reported varied significantly from one country to another. In order to compare how different countries represented this event, we conducted a qualitative discourse analysis of three days of television news coverage from 10 channels in five countries: the United States, China, Japan, Germany, and t…
Reconsidering ‘virtuous circle’ and ‘media malaise’ theories of the media
This study, based on a content analysis of television news and survey in eleven nations, explores the split between those who see the media as politically alienating and others who see the media as encouraging greater political involvement. Here, we suggest that both positions are partly right. On the one hand, television news, and in particular public service television news, can be very effective in imparting information about public affairs an…
Online Threat, But Television is Still Dominant
As news media change, so media news consumption changes with them. This paper, part of a larger international research project involving 11 countries in four continents (Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia), is focused on news consumption. As the range of media outlets has increased dramatically in recent years, this paper asks which news sources are people regularly watching, listening to or reading to understand what is happening in the world.…
Sources in the News
In analysing the news media's role in serving the functions associated with democratic citizenship, the number, diversity and range of news sources are central. Research conducted on sources has overwhelmingly focused on individual national systems. However, studying variations in news source patterns across national environments enhances understanding of the media's role. This article is based on a larger project, “Media System, Political Contex…
Internet revolution revisited
While numerous studies view the internet as a patron of internationalism and public empowerment, this comparative study of leading news websites in nine nations shows that online news is strongly nation-centred, and much more inclined to cite the voices of authority than those of civil society and the individual citizen. Online news is very similar, in these respects, to newspaper and television news. This convergence is due to the way in which l…
International Tv News, Foreign Affairs Interest and Public Knowledge
This article investigates the volume of foreign news provided by public service and commercial TV channels in countries with different media systems, and how this corresponds to the public's interest in and knowledge of foreign affairs. We use content analyses of television newscasts and public opinion surveys in 11 countries across five continents to provide new insight into the supply and demand for international television news. We find that (…
Auntie Knows Best? Public Broadcasters and Current Affairs Knowledge
Public service broadcasters (PSBs) are a central part of national news media landscapes, and are often regarded as specialists in the provision of hard news. But does exposure to public versus commercial news influence citizens’ knowledge of current affairs? This question is investigated in this article using cross-national surveys capturing knowledge of current affairs and media consumption. Propensity score analyses test for effects of PSBs on …
Misunderstanding the Internet
Rethinking internet history
When the internet expanded in the 1980s and early 1990s, it was cloaked in romance.1 The internet’s pioneer users developed a distinctive argot, introducing acronyms like MOO and MUD (which refer to adventure and role-playing games). To use the internet in this period was like belonging to a cult, with its own inner secrets, sub-cultural style and tough entry requirement of technical competence. Users were overwhelmingly young, and in the know. E…

Cross‐National versus Individual‐Level Differences in Political Information
We propose a context‐dependent approach to the study of political information. Combining a content analysis of broadcast news with a national survey measuring public awareness of various events, issues, and individuals in the news, we show that properties of national media systems influence both the supply of news and citizens’ awareness of events in the news. Public service‐oriented media systems deliver hard news more frequently than market‐bas…

Media Systems and the Political Information Environment
To express attitudes and act according to their self-interest, citizens need relevant, up-to-date information about current affairs. But has the increased commercialization in the media market increased or decreased the flow of political information? Hallin and Mancini stress that the existing empirical evidence is fragmented and that this question therefore has been difficult to answer. In this article the authors present new data that allow the…

Crime, foreigners and hard news
The Finnish media devote more attention to hard news than the British media, yet Finns are less interested in politics than the British. The principal reason for this difference in news values is that Finnish TV is more subject to public service influence than British TV, and the Finnish press is more strongly influenced by a professional journalistic culture than its British counterpart. While a number of national differences contribute to diffe…
L'Australie, le Japon et l'héritage de la Seconde Guerre mondiale
Cet article explore le legs de la Seconde Guerre mondiale sur la culture populaire et politique dans l'Australie de l'après-guerre, notamment en ce qu'il affecte les relations que le pays entretient avec le Japon. Alors que les dirigeants politiques et les décideurs furent relativement rapides à trouver une nouvelle base aux relations avec le Japon, des doutes persistèrent dans l'opinion publique. Ainsi, une histoire sur le pouvoir salvateur du c…
Media System, Public Knowledge and Democracy
■ This article addresses the implications of the movement towards entertainment-centred, market-driven media by comparing what is reported and what the public knows in four countries with different media systems. The different systems are public service (Denmark and Finland), a `dual' model (UK) and the market model (US). The comparison shows that public service television devotes more attention to public affairs and international news, and foste…

The New Revisionism in Mass Communication Research
The major developments of mass communication research, particularly in Britain, during the last fifteen years are reviewed critically. A new revisionist movement has emerged that challenges the dominant radical paradigms of the late 1970s and early 1980s. This has taken the form of contesting the underlying models of society, the characterization of media organizations, the representations of media content, the conception of the audience and the …

Cartographic Relief Portrayal
The problem of relief portrayal has challenged cartographers throughout the history of map-making. The advent of printing in 15th-century Europe and later advances in lithography led to experimentation in relief portrayal. The writer outlines the progression of the various techniques and describes new methods that have been developed in recent years. The method used by Surveys and Mapping Branch, Ottawa, since 1961 in their aeronautical chart pro…
Correlates of Physical Attractiveness and Interpersonal Attraction in the Dating Situation
The relationships between various indicators of physical attractiveness (objective, self perception, and date's) and interpersonal attraction in the dating situation were examined in this study. Agreement between the various indicators of physical attractiveness was lower for males than for females. The most significant predictor of interpersonal attraction was the date's rating of his (her) partner's physical attractiveness

The effects of physical attraction and attitude similarity on attraction in dating dyads
Convergence Toward a Single Sexual Standard
Male and female subjects in a “computer dating” study completed a sexual experience questionnaire as well as attitudinal and experiential questionnaires. The degree of a subject's sexual experience was found to be related to interpersonal attraction, physical attractiveness, dating experience and attitudes regarding religious, moral and political issues. The sexual experiences for both sexes were demonstrated to be cumulative and follow a fixed p…

The importance of behavioral and cognitive factors in heterosexual-social anxiety1
Subject groups were classified on the basis of behavioral ratings for degree of anxiety exhibited and level of social skill displayed during a simulated dating interaction. Subjects were then asked to view and evaluate their own skill performance and the performance of bogus subjects during the same interaction when presented on videotapes. All subject groups were accurate in rating the performance of bogus subjects during the same interaction wh…
