Depression narratives in graphic medicine, a conspicuous subset of mental illness narratives, work in tandem with the existing oeuvre of verbal narratives and move beyond them to deliver and map the disordered mind’s complexities. These graphic expositions inculcate an ethos often glossed over by biomedicine and, in so doing, validate the patient experience either for its universality or singularity. Reflective of the widespread attitudes towards the illness, Clay Jonathan’s Depression Comix (2011), a webcomic on depression, deals with the intricate inner lives of subjects belonging to a heterogeneous society. Depression Comix is a saga of telltale clues of depression covering the sufferers’ intrapersonal and interpersonal lives in elaborate ways. From an impersonal point of view, the author deftly employs conventional and innovative metaphors to concretize the mental conditions and emphasize the diversity of illness experience and its challenges as perceived by the general population. The use of metaphor, the article argues, accentuates, and facilitates the visual narration of illness as it concretizes the phenomenologically intense experience of depression. The present artic le revisits the theoretical postulates of George Lakoff, and Mark Johnson theorizes verbo-visual metaphors as deployed in Jonathan’s Depression Comix to delineate the representational, aesthetic, and figural aspects of depression.","PeriodicalId":52105,"journal":{"name":"Media Watch","volume":"12 1","pages":"33 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46720799","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}

Television is an ambitious actor in mass media. Using the case of Kazakhstan, we discuss the impact that television makes on developing the population’s cultural and spiritual values. The study research method includes the comparative analysis and dialectical approach. We explored the need that society has in social information to influence personality development through various social communication channels. The carried out analysis makes it possible to summarize that Kazakhstan television has not yet established the system to perform cultural, educational, and social functions. TV channels fill more than 80% of their airtime with entertainment programs. Television programs hardly touch upon relevant public issues. They are monotonous in genre and presentation style. The findings point out the fact that airtime scheduling is not efficient. Only entertainment programs and light show projects are prime, which does not correspond to the public demand. The study proposes revising mass media’s editorial policies and absorbing entertainment contents, focusing on the socially relevant and culturally cognitive broadcasting format.","PeriodicalId":52105,"journal":{"name":"Media Watch","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48338844","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}

The current research demonstrates that this relationship is more significant than previously thought. Addressing Russia’s advertising market’s case study, we analyze the major trends and establish the media environment’s effect. To do so, we put forward several hypotheses designed to elucidate the ongoing changes. Statistical and structural-dynamic analysis of development indicators of the media sphere and advertising in 2010–2019 and analysis of macroeconomic data led to the conclusion that Russia’s advertising market has considerable unfulfilled potential for growth. The research results indicate a structural shift towards a growing share of Internet advertising (3.97 times), while all other media market segments are shrinking amid deepening industry diversification. The study confirms the hypothesis that the advertising market is dramatically affected by the level of internet penetration, investments in the media and content sector, and the size of the profit and loss balance of organizations (potential advertisers). The hypothesis that there is a correlation between the growth of the advertising market and the growth in the number of organizations operating in the economy was not confirmed. Based on the regression models, we produce a scenario forecast for developing Russia’s advertising market for 2020–2024. Depending on the action factor, its growth potential ranges from + 5% to + 27% during the indicated period. One of the avenues for further studies is searching for useful tools to stimulate market development based on the patterns identified.","PeriodicalId":52105,"journal":{"name":"Media Watch","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44905160","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}
