One is the emergence of only a handful technology platforms as powerful information gatekeepers for both producers and users of informational content. These platforms include not only social media companies like Meta and Twitter but also distribution and vendor platforms, such as Netflix or Amazon. All of them rely on business models that—informed by behavioral, digital trace, and a host of other microand meso-level consumer data—algorithmically tailor or microtarget information based on consumer preferences. A second and related transformation facing our field is the fading out of “mass communication” as a meaningful concept. The golden age of journalism, during which mostly middle-aged White men “broadcast” news to hundreds of millions of Americans, has been over for a while. “Post-broadcast democracy,” a term coined by political scientist Markus Prior, foreshadowed many of the challenges that have arisen from “narrowcasting,” that is, the increasing audience fragmentation that was partly a motivation for and partly a result of the advent of cable television. MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow summarized cable TV’s philosophy of segmentation both succinctly and depressingly during her Theodore H.

Soo Young Shin intends to direct attention to attributes of news media beyond trust or cred-ibility that the existing scholarship cannot fully account for, including in the context of the situation currently facing the news industry. Shin’s valuable piece draws on an interesting conceptual foundation, and its verification has been arduously executed with three well-thought-out studies. The main discoveries of the study may contribute to several interconnected fields, including media business, journalism practice, and marketing strategies. Its primary contribution lies in the innovative thinking described at the outset that can inspire future scholars to study audience perceptions of individual news outlets and to gauge the impact of these images on marketability and popularity. That said, on one hand, perhaps due to its massive global scope, the theoretical articulation and elaboration of all related components that led to the author’s inquiry (such as the conceptual parallelism of college reputation and national image to news firms) is not entirely cogent. Also, the synthesis of findings may not necessarily reflect and encapsulate the entire image structure of a given media corporation or industry.

Using a multidisciplinary literature review and qualitative and quantitative analysis, this study adopted a multidimensional construct—news media image—to investigate how news audiences perceive news media organizations. The respondents studied here, who were representative of the general U.S. population, referenced the news media in general in their evaluation of news outlets. Results of focus groups and online surveys (factor analyses) indicated that news audiences evaluate the content and practices of news media overall based on perceptions related to seven specific criteria: usefulness, credibility, empathy, personality, usability, news selection bias, and social responsibility. Image perception encompasses rational, cognitive judgment, and affective evaluation. That news audience respondents commonly employed multiple evaluation criteria related to news media points to the need to broaden the scope of journalistic research in the direction of a new heuristic. Examining news media image, that is, investigating how “the general public” views news media as an institution in a continuously changing—and challenging—news media landscape adds value to media research. Results from a confirmatory factor analysis used in this study suggest that a positive news media image can enhance audience satisfaction and, subsequently, loyalty.","PeriodicalId":147592,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Monographs","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132042053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most scholarship about Hearst has focused on his newspapers; less studied have been the magazines he acquired early in the 20th century. This monograph examines immigrant representations in Hearst magazines published between 1905 and 1945, focusing on how magazine fiction, nonfiction, and “fact-fiction” articles presented immigrants and immigration as social and political issues. Like Hearst himself, the publications favored immigrants from Germany and the Scandinavian countries of northern Europe and tended to disfavor those from China and Japan and, to a lesser extent, Mexico. According to the magazines, immigrants from the Far East and Mexico were “undesirables” who threatened society by, allegedly, importing, selling, and using hazardous drugs. Newspaper advertisements, news articles, and editorials extended these portrayals to wider audiences. Hearst also applied cross-media promotion to motion pictures, with writers converting fiction from his magazines into screenplays for Cosmopolitan Productions and MGM. The monograph contains examples of how magazine content and iconic covers have informed contemporary films and television series. In recent years, stylized representations have glamorized lifestyles but have also perpetuated cultural stereotypes that may contribute to anti-immigrant attitudes.","PeriodicalId":147592,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Monographs","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126334748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the primary message of Fondren’s analysis of the challenges faced by German officials more than a century ago as they struggled to garner domestic and international support for the First World War. The Germans were prescient: a “patriotic” model for military news would emerge and solidify over the coming century. This demonstrates that the keys to success for wartime propaganda identified by Germans during World War I—the necessity of coopting journalists, using new communication technologies, and finding attractive national narratives to obscure the harsh realities of war—are now deployed to great effect by authoritarian and democratic nations alike. According to the patriotic model of news, the norms of objectivity and service to the citizenry are overwritten by the notion that news must serve national interests and help propagandize the national war effort. In fact, politicians in democratic countries have adopted that same model of the news for internal use. By the same token, as the Germans came to acknowledge, the impossibility of being able to completely gloss over atrocities or turn them into positive messaging remains true today. Countries now have much more effective patriotic models of the news, in which both free and authoritarian media systems preference emotion over facts to promote military actions. The efficacy of military propaganda reminds us that stories of strength, power, and dominance tend to travel farther and faster than calls for equity and unity. With the advent of the internet and the collapse of national media boundaries, the subversion of free media into propaganda outlets eventually moved from international conflict to domestic politics, notably in the United States under Donald Trump. Nations have discovered that authoritarian messages that rely more on emotions than facts wield significant political power.","PeriodicalId":147592,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Monographs","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123470092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet German propagandists in particular struggled to master mass media, manage their messages, and build audience trust during the Great War in their goal to control domestic and foreign public opinion. Although previous scholarship has agreed that the German propaganda machine failed, little has been said about how Germany recognized these failures early on and sought to remedy them through increasingly modern propaganda strategies—even if those strategies were ultimately no match for the public’s growing distrust of official information. This monograph examines how it was that more institutions, more manpower, new publicity initiatives, copying tactics from enemies, crowdsourcing ideas, and eventually focusing on visuals and film did little to boost morale at home or improve Germany’s reputation abroad. The findings rest on a historical analysis of military dispatches, federal policy documents, letters, news stories, propaganda materials, and memoirs located in German and U.S. archives. Although many of the methods and tactics these early propagandists used would fail, others would become part of the universal toolbox governments still rely on to influence people’s views and spread information.","PeriodicalId":147592,"journal":{"name":"Journalism & Mass Communication Monographs","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131571794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
