But what is the role of reality TV anyway and do audiences even desire or care to include these conversations in entertainment discussions? In response to the most diverse cast of CBS’ Survivor, this study analyzes 492 social media posts to assess how audiences perceive race on season 41 of this popularized reality TV competition. Specifically, this study explores audiences’ sentiments about CBS’ attempt to intersect diversity initiatives with the show while assessing whether audiences believe Survivor is an appropriate forum to educate about race and engage in racial discourse. Findings suggest that generally audiences watch Survivor solely for entertainment purposes and believe engaging in race conversations presents an unnecessary and problematic distraction, encroaching on their ability to escape reality. Moreover, findings indicate audiences often become offended by these conversations and believe they demonstrate a political agenda, while believing diverse cast members can separate their racial identities from their gameplay, despite Survivor being a social experiment. Such perspectives and their implications including their ability to impede progress toward addressing systemic racial issues are discussed.","PeriodicalId":45915,"journal":{"name":"Howard Journal of Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80100409","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 study represents one of the first empirical efforts to examine the role of ethnicity in esports uses and effects by conducting an online survey with 526 esports consumers in the United States. Using existing scales, this study measured dependent variables, such as esports gameplay, viewing, sense of community, and self-esteem, as well as independent variables, including both individual factors and structures. Independent t-test results indicated many similarities between Caucasians and ethnic minorities. Yet, Caucasian respondents self-reported playing esports significantly more, while minorities used interactive features and preferred fighting games more than Caucasians. In addition, regression analyses found that significant predictors differed for gameplay and viewing between Caucasians and minorities and most variables to explain a sense of community and self-esteem. Nonetheless, esports uses and effects were predicted by motivations and preferences as well as by structures of time, access, and cost across ethnic groups. Overall, this study suggests that esports hold power and possibility to promote fair play, community-building, and well-being. Future study should continue to pinpoint ways to increase participation for minority esports users to create more inclusive communities.","PeriodicalId":45915,"journal":{"name":"Howard Journal of Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80289126","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}

By using Indonesia as a case study, this research aims to provide research contexts of demographic, historical, and contemporary challenges of social media and nation branding. The research project aims to answer three important objectives. Those are to investigate the pattern of tourism-based social media, the narratives behind the pattern, and the implications to the concept of nation brand of Indonesia. This study adopts a typology of photographic representations by using photos, videos, captions, and hashtags from tourism-based social media. The findings demonstrate the complexity and nuances of Indonesia’s nation branding from the narrative of a dreamy place through visual imageries and written texts, the discursive portrayals of people, place, and politics, and the trajectories of the past. This study implies that Indonesia’s brand is portrayed using tranquil and rural imageries, the exoticism of local identity, the symbols of authority in tourism, and the historical nuances of the nation. This concludes that the nation branding discourse and practices of Indonesia become a part of the dynamic struggle and negotiation of nation identity, culture, and governance, which define and redefine the collective and individual meanings of the country.","PeriodicalId":45915,"journal":{"name":"Howard Journal of Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75432108","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}

After COVID-19 vaccines were developed, dissemination and uptake within the Black community lacked. It was abundantly clear that the Black community’s large distrust of the medical establishment was a barrier to successfully rolling out COVID-19 vaccines. Former First Lady Michelle Obama, received her vaccine and posted a captioned image across all of her social media platforms. Her posts functioned as a health promotion tool. Therefore, to grasp the importance of Blackness and Black culture as it relates to communication, we utilize the Culture-Centered Approach as a lens to analyze the rhetoric of Michelle Obama’s vaccination posts. We argue that not only did Michelle Obama use her social position as former First Lady and a Black woman to connect with the Black community when she posted about receiving the vaccine, but we also highlight the unique communicative choices present in the posts that are rooted in Blackness.","PeriodicalId":45915,"journal":{"name":"Howard Journal of Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79105546","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 this present study, we examined the concession speeches of Hillary Clinton (United States, Democratic Party) and John Mahama (Ghana, National Democratic Congress, NDC) in the aftermath of their 2016 electoral defeats. Findings indicated that three similar frames emerged between the two candidates. Hillary Clinton’s frames included: acknowledging pain and acceptance, democracy, values and nationalism, and gratitude. John Mahama’s frames had: acceptance and concern, appreciation, unity, democracy, and nationhood. Both candidates accepted the electoral outcome, showed gratitude, and reaffirmed their belief in democracy and unity. However, there were slight differences. Hillary Clinton’s frame on acknowledging pain and acceptance had a more open, forthright recognition of being hurt in a way that enabled her to process the loss and pain. Findings from this study provide insights into recent concession speeches across two socio-cultural and continental divides, which builds on literature in framing and political communication.","PeriodicalId":45915,"journal":{"name":"Howard Journal of Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73439057","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}
