While debate moderators try to keep candidates on-topic to contrast issue positions, candidates can try to shift the debate to off-topic issues instead. Election debates thus provide a unique setting to study candidates’ issue emphasis. In this context, we study: who veers off-topic, on which issues, and when? Our theory-driven quantitative content analysis of 24 Belgian election debates (1985–2019) shows that different candidates are equally likely to veer off-topic, but when they do, they emphasize their party’s core issues and follow previous off-topic speaking turns.

As a robustness check, we also conduct the analyses with a binary operationalization of our dependent variable, indicating whether the candidate’s turn contained at least one word from each issue domain (1) or not (0). Except for the “preceding turn off-topic issues” predictor, results remain similar (see Appendix F and G).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the KU Leuven Internal Funders under Grant C14/17/022; and FWO and F.R.S.-FNRS Excellence of Science (EOS) under Grant G0F0218N.Notes on contributorsJonas LefevereJonas Lefevere (Ph.D. University of Antwerp) is research manager at the Media, Movements & Politics (M²P) research group at the University of Antwerp, and assistant professor at the Brussels School of Governance (Vrije Universiteit Brussel).

In this essay, we highlight six central problems of current linear mainstream music radio and present possible solutions for creating more attractive and contemporary programs. In sum, we argue for greater inclusion of music editors’ creativity and experience, which is connected to the conscious downgrading of music-based market research, and for a stronger harmonization and curation of at least parts of the program by editors and moderators.KEYWORDS: radiomusicprogrammingformattingmarket research Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The article focuses on the radio formats with a wide reach and that target a broad mainstream audience. There is, of course, a multitude of other popular formats with a partly specialized musical orientation (which are presented in an overview by Schramm (Citation2019b), for example) or the country radio and college radio stations that are especially popular in the US (on the music composition of the latter, see, for example, Desztich & McClung, Citation2007; Wall, Citation2007).2 Titles for music-based market research are chosen by music editors using different sources, amongst others by their own evaluation, the back catalog of the radio station or the airplay charts (for a full overview, ordered by importance of source, see Schramm & Mayer, Citation2023, p. 123).3 Although the suitability of Christmas songs in December may not be worth testing, the issue of appropriate songs to evoke emotions in spring or autumn, for instance, is worth addressing.Additional informationNotes on contributorsHolger SchrammHolger Schramm (Ph.D., Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media) is a professor of communication at the University of Wuerzburg, Germany.

Our studies extend previous findings by linking current intergroup prejudice (race, social class) with retrospectively reported media use in specific life stages (childhood, adolescence, adulthood). Across two surveys (n = 293; n = 369), we found childhood social media use, but not adolescence or adulthood social media use, significantly predicted participants’ current prejudicial attitudes toward Black individuals and low-income individuals, mediated through social dominance orientation. Additionally, overall lifetime social media use was associated with positive and negative racial attitudes through social dominance orientation. However, findings with lifetime TV use were mixed. Neither of indirect effects between overall lifetime TV use, social dominance orientation, and racial attitudes (or income egalitarianism) was statistically significant. Further, neither of these indirect effects with TV use in specific life stages was significant. Overall, the present findings call for attention on contemporary media in addition to traditional media in cultivation research.

Analysis of an online survey in Taiwan showed that incidental exposure was related to expressive behaviors on social media and LINE, which in turn predicted coping outcomes, regardless of whether the information affirmed or undermined individuals’ opinions.
