Built on grounds of plausibility and consistency with existing narratives, racial hoaxes may remain latent for a long time, and periodically emerge when negative stereotypes can be framed as actual news stories. Racial hoaxes have relevant political and social implications: spread across multiple channels, they can foster exclusionary discourse on immigration, migrants, refugees, and other minorities, with concrete consequences on people and policies. In particular, far-right movements embrace hoaxes as a great opportunity to advocate their claims and legitimate their calls for violent action.","PeriodicalId":431362,"journal":{"name":"From Media Hype to Twitter Storm","volume":"263 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132965685","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}

Due to intensif ied competition, journalists are increasingly responding to stories in other media and audience preferences, at the expense of stories on political issues. By using the digitalized archive of the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, news waves were automatically identif ied in the four million articles from 1950-2014. Contrary to expectations, the amount of news waves has not increased linearly since the 1950s, but shows a U-curve, with more waves in the 1950s than in the 1970s. Political content in news waves peaked in the 1990s. The general shape of news waves consists of a small lead, a sharp and narrow peak, and a slow decline.","PeriodicalId":431362,"journal":{"name":"From Media Hype to Twitter Storm","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121313297","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}

Using the example of the seemingly exaggerated media coverage of a recent research finding concerning the effects of global climate change on the habitability of cities in the Middle East, I argue that making sense of this worry requires us to take seriously the value judgements involved in calling such coverage ‘hype’. I argue that it is judgements of credibility (who and what one ought to believe) that are put into crisis by science hype and consider a few possible approaches to resolving this crisis.","PeriodicalId":431362,"journal":{"name":"From Media Hype to Twitter Storm","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134407975","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}
