‘Our words are stronger’ : re-enforcing boundaries through ritual work in a terrorist news event
2020
This article investigates the ritual work in terrorist news events, using the Berlin truck attack as a case in point. The article connects with the larger cluster of anthropologically inspired communication research on media events as public rituals in news media and applies digital media ethnography as its method. Fieldwork is conducted in 15 online news sites. The article identifies three key phases through which the ritual work was carried out: the rupture in the news event (ritualised as the strike), the liminal phase (ritualised as the manhunt) and the reconstitution of order following the attack (ritualised as the mourning). The article concludes with an interpretation of the broader …
The overstated generational gap in online news use? A consolidated infrastructural perspective
2021
Recent research by Taneja et al. suggested that digital infrastructures diminish the generational gap in news use by counteracting preference structures. We expand on this seminal work by arguing that an infrastructural perspective requires overcoming limitations of highly aggregated web tracking data used in prior research. We analyze the individual browsing histories of two representative samples of German Internet users collected in 2012 ( N = 2970) and 2018 ( N = 2045) and find robust evidence for a smaller generational gap in online news use than commonly assumed. While short news website visits mostly demonstrated infrastructural factors, longer news use episodes were shaped more by …
Print and online newspapers as material artefacts
2014
Traditional newspaper journalism is in a state of crisis and there have been several attempts to overcome this. Many discourses have reiterated the triumphal march of a digital revolution in newspaper journalism and anticipated the end of the print newspaper. This moment calls for an in-depth analysis of reader habits of news consumption and use in order to understand the audiences for journalistic output and their relationship with the journalistic objects. In this study, we adopt a multi-method approach, integrating (1) qualitative content analysis of student essays dealing with the physicality of printed and online newspapers, (2) ethnographic observation of the use practices of readers…
The relationship between Internet use, online and printed newspaper reading in Finland: investigating the direct and moderating effects of gender
2012
This article explores how the time spent on the Internet is associated with printed and online newspaper reading. The direct and moderating effects of gender are especially investigated. The survey data ( N = 612) collected from Finland in 2011 are analysed by using hierarchical regression modelling. The results of the study show that Internet use has a displacement effect on printed newspaper reading but only among male respondents. In contrast, results show that more women spend time on the Internet the more frequently they also read printed newspapers. This finding is in line with the so-called efficacy hypothesis. No similar moderating effect of gender was found when exploring online n…
Retoriskie teksta posmi interneta ziņu rakstos
2016
Ziņas ir viena no svarīgākajām vajadzībām ikdienas dzīvē, lai sekotu līdzi pasaules notikumu attīstībai. Ir veikti vairāki avīžu rakstu pētījumi no dažādiem aspektiem, taču maz uzmanības tiek pievērsts retoriskajiem teksta posmiem avīžu rakstos, kas pieejami internetā, tādēļ šī darba mērķis ir izpētīt retoriskos teksta posmus un to attiecīgo soļus struktūru interneta ziņu rakstos un noteikt to lingvistiskās iezīmes. Darba analīzei, galvenokārt tika izmantotas tādu autoru kā Swales (1990)un Bhatia (1993) teorijas. Iegūtie dati tika analizēti, izmantojot kvalitatīvā pētījuma metodi ar kvantitatīviem elementiem. Analīzei tika izvēlēti divdesmit BBC biznesa interneta ziņu raksti. Pētījuma rezul…
Prezidenta Džo Baidena inugurācijas dienas tiešsaistes ziņu multimodālā analīze
2022
Amerikas Savienoto Valstu prezidenta inaugurācija ir viens no visvairāk dokumentētajiem notikumiem pasaulē, kuru plaši apraksta tiešsaistes mediju avoti. Ņemot vērā notikuma nozīmi un tiešsaistes ziņu lomu informācijas nodošanā mūsdienās, šī pētījuma mērķis bija parādīt lingvistisko un vizuālo līdzekļu integratīvo lomu nozīmes veidošanā, attēlojot Amerikas Savienoto Valstu prezidenta Džo Baidena inaugurāciju kā svarīgu notikumu tiešsaistes ziņās. Lai sasniegtu izvirzīto mērķi, tika apkopots un analizēts ziņu rakstu korpuss, kas publicēts dažādās starptautiskās ziņu vietnēs, izmantojot lingvistisko un vizuālo līdzekļu modeli un multimodālo diskursa analīzi. Rezultāti atklāja, ka izmantotie v…
Vardarbības attēlojums elektroniskajās ziņās
2020
Tā kā mūsdienu sabiedrībā vardarbība ir nopietna sociāla problēma, tās atspoguļojums ziņās ir svarīgs. Cilvēki vēršas pie ziņām, meklējot jaunu informāciju, un viņu viedoklis bieži veidojas ziņu iespaidā, tādējādi tas, kā vardarbīgas darbības tajās tiek aprakstītas, ietekmē sabiedrības izpratni par vardarbību. Tāpēc pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt diskursīvas operācijas, kas mazina vardarbību, un to atrašanās vietu ziņu rakstos par Greisas Milleinas slepkavības tiesas procesu. Diskursa analītiskā metode tika izmantota, lai noteiktu ziņu rakstu funkcionālos elementus, un atklātu diskursīvas darbības, kas mīkstina vardarbību. Deskriptīvā metode un kontentanalīze tika izmantotas, lai iegūtu dziļā…
Innovators and innovated: Newspapers and the postdigital future beyond the “death of print”
2017
Along with other cultural organizations, newspapers, through waves of digital disruption, have become subject to a dominant narrative of crisis. But newspapers have long participated in change. A constructivist approach, qualified by consideration of media materiality, draws attention to diverse but essential processes of innovation around them. We see a contraflow of migration from digital to print, opening up a shared media space; bonding strategies are bringing multimedia to ink on paper, while bridging via boundary objects such as QR (Quick Response) codes are connecting the two. Among other initiatives, development of automation of news production and experiments with transparency are …
