Adorno’s critical arguments on popular music from a sociological perspective, and explores the reference and enlightenment of his arguments on the problems of current mass media. Both mass media and popular music belong to the “cultural industry”. It also has social characteristics of standardization, pseudo-individualization, entertainment and social cohesion. It lacks independent artistry and becomes an accomplice of capitalist ideology, causing the masses to lose their ability to think indepen-dently, and lose their spirit of resistance and criticism. This article aims to arouse people’s in-depth reflection on the phenomenon of current mass media, and hope that mainstream media will make good use of the “double-edged sword” of mass media, and play a lead role to create a clean mass cultural en-vironment, thereby promoting the positive development of mass media.","PeriodicalId":405628,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Journalism and Communication","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127238861","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}

Both academia and field professionals benefit from the studies that cast light on this fundamental issue. However, there is a lack of attention to interdisciplinary approaches. The purpose of this study is to implement Media Richness Theory (MRT), rarely used in mass communication research to address the issues, which otherwise would remain unexplained since none of the existing mass communication theories combine factors such as a crisis situation, visual richness of media content and media choice of audience simultaneously. Findings of multivariate analysis of variances applied to survey data from the European Social Survey support the researchers’ hypotheses that during the political and economic crisis in Greece, the assumptions of MRT explained the changes in audience’s behavior towards a decrease in visually “lean” in favor of using visually “rich” media.","PeriodicalId":405628,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Journalism and Communication","volume":"5 50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128818607","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}

Three YouTube channels were considered for this study, namely: Road To 2022, Al Jazeera Contrast, and Qatar Airways. Using a virtual reality head-mounted display and the model of EM framework, we found that all of the nine productions featured limited use of the six qualities of EM. We identified three broad thematic categories: 1) FIFA stadium and travel, 2) use of cutting-edge technology, and 3) Qatar’s history and traditions, and many sub-themes pertaining to travel, lifestyle, and more. We provide practical and managerial implications of EM contents for the tourism industry, sports tourism, and destination marketing.","PeriodicalId":405628,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Journalism and Communication","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121405295","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}
