Movies can help us better understand our lives, culture, and societies of those not directly linked to us. In addition, movies shed light on political and spiritual matters and broaden our understanding, critical thinking, and feelings. Pakistan and China enjoyed more than 70 years of friendship. They cooperated in several sectors; however, there is no cooperation in the entertainment industry/film industry that might be a pivotal medium for both countries to improve their understanding. This review was aimed to find out the possible hurdles and problems that prevent Chinese movies from screening in Pakistani cinemas. Furthermore, possible suggestions are discussed that could allow the Chinese movies to screen in Pakistani cinema in the future. In this digital era, movies could play a vital role in strengthening friendship and enhancing the understanding between the two iron brothers.","PeriodicalId":405628,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Journalism and Communication","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128613429","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}

On the mass media front in the sovereign country, new non-traditional, format, range, themes, and views of media, which were not previously immersed in the communist party ideology, began to appear.

In other words, in the consumer culture, the products that they purchase define consumers, and consumption is seen as an everyday activity, which is done quite frequently (Paterson, 2006). The cosmetic products that women decide to buy carry symbolic meanings, and these meanings are transferred when they consume these products (Iqani, 2012). The consumer culture promises to the female consumer that by buying a variety of goods she can achieve self-enhancement, which will help her to stand out among other people, and she can preserve her self-esteem this way as she will be superior to others (Mooij, 2004). Therefore, this paper aims to make a critique of the consumer culture from the perspective of cosmetic products by showing how women, in fact, use cosmetics as a symbol of distinction and do hedonic shopping at department stores, and how women’s magazines indeed create false needs in their readers for purchasing more cosmetic products by putting a literature review forward.","PeriodicalId":405628,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Journalism and Communication","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122551856","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}

Mass media plays an essential role in influencing the public’s awareness and perception of cancer. The present study analyzed cancer related news articles in two leading weekend newspapers: “The Nation” and “Malawi News” published in 2019, and health programs from two radio stations: “Malawi Broadcasting Cooperation” (radio 1) and “Zodiac”, and two Television stations from the same media companies. Out of 106 newspapers reviewed, only 38 (36%) had cancer-related articles. Content analysis of news articles revealed that focus was on breast cancer with 8 (53%) articles. Kaposi sarcoma, cervical and oesophagus cancers, which have the highest morbidity in Malawi, were under-reported; with 1 (6.6%), 1 (6.6%) and 0 (0%) articles respectively. In addition, prevention was the most frequently mentioned theme with treatment, early detection, signs and symptoms, and risk factors mentioned only rarely. Except during awareness month of breast cancer, where a program was aired once on radio and TV stations, there were no specific programs set aside for cancer in their health programs. The findings suggest that apart from breast cancer, which appears to be influenced by its awareness month, media coverage of cancer appears under-represented. Possible implications of the results and recommendations for future research are presented.","PeriodicalId":405628,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Journalism and Communication","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114788271","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}

In addition, the greater the upward comparison with others, the lower the self-esteem, which leads to lower life satisfaction; When Facebook users upward compare themselves with others, it lowers their self-esteem which in turn reduces their life satisfaction.

Study used one-week news reports about the 10-28 Tiananmen attack in 2013 from Asia News Monitor, China Daily, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal for analysis. It was found that national interest and ideologies play an important part in frame construction while globalized frames are employed to gain approval from rest of the world and become part of “us” and outcast “them”. US newspapers use analogies completely irrelevant to attack and try to use this even as a reminder for reader that Tiananmen square is historically famous for pro-democracy protests.
