Book Description
Research shows that, while people around the world consistently nominate television as their most important news source, much of the content of news bulletins is lost to viewers within moments. In response, Barrie Gunter argues that this can be explained by the way in which televised news is written, packaged and presented.

Book Description
This study tested a model of the process involved when television news viewers are exposed to breaking news. The model posited that media present a breaking news frame, which then influences the cognitive processes of those who see it. Testing the model involved two stages. First, a content analysis of actual breaking news examples identified elements contributing to a breaking news frame. Eight production elements were identified as statistically significant in framing breaking news coverage. Second, those elements were used to create a stimulus for an experiment in which a control group saw an artificial news story presented in a traditional format, and a treatment group saw the same story presented in a breaking news format. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to identify differences between the two groups. Members of the treatment group evaluated breaking news as being more urgent than other stories in a newscast, expressed greater curiosity about breaking news, and evaluated breaking news as having occurred more recently than other stories in a newscast. There was no significant difference between the two groups in their evaluation of the importance of breaking news. In addition, hierarchical regression analysis was used to determine if the frequency of viewing television news, need for orientation, and cognitive involvement explained a person's evaluation of breaking news. Only need for orientation emerged as a significant predictor of curiosity about breaking news. The findings of the study were discussed in relation to their implications for audiences and media production. The content analysis suggested that predictable elements, such as an anchor reading a script and videotape, contributed more to breaking news production than techniques like an anchor ad libbing and live reports, which could indicate the presentation of incoming and developing details. The content analysis also revealed that four production techniques (a breaking news open, a lower-third breaking news banner graphic, an anchor on camera, and a verbal identification of breaking news coverage) worked together most frequently to frame breaking news. Results from the experiment confirmed that viewers exposed to breaking news were primed to evaluate the coverage differently than those who were not exposed to breaking news. An examination of individual characteristics, however, provided little additional insight into the priming process. Finally, limitations of the study and directions for future research were discussed.

Book Description
On Television exposes the invisible mechanisms of manipulation and censorship that determine what appears on the small screen. Bourdieu shows how the ratings game has transformed journalism - and hence politics - and even such seemingly removed fields as law' science' art' and philosophy. Bourdieu had long been concerned with the role of television in cultural and political life when he bypassed the political and commercial control of the television networks and addressed his country's viewers from the television station of the College de France. On Television' which expands on that lecture' not only describes the limiting and distorting effect of television on journalism and the world of ideas' but offers the blueprint for a counterattack.

Book Description
This volume presents original, ‘big picture’ perspectives on news framing. Each chapter in this volume will feature an individual or team of framing analysts who take a reflective look at their own empirical work. The editors' goals are to identify the influences that determine the use of different theoretical and methodological approaches, and to provide interpretive guides to news framing scholars regarding what news frames are, how they can be observed in news texts, and how framing effects are uncovered and substantiated in cultural, group, and individual sites. Doing News Framing Analysis II will continue the work of its predecessor by giving talented framing scholars the space to write about their work and bring readers closer to the framing research project. Chapter 9 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com.

Book Description
This volume examines the phenomenon of fake news by bringing together leading experts from different fields within psychology and related areas, and explores what has become a prominent feature of public discourse since the first Brexit referendum and the 2016 US election campaign. Dealing with misinformation is important in many areas of daily life, including politics, the marketplace, health communication, journalism, education, and science. In a general climate where facts and misinformation blur, and are intentionally blurred, this book asks what determines whether people accept and share (mis)information, and what can be done to counter misinformation? All three of these aspects need to be understood in the context of online social networks, which have fundamentally changed the way information is produced, consumed, and transmitted. The contributions within this volume summarize the most up-to-date empirical findings, theories, and applications and discuss cutting-edge ideas and future directions of interventions to counter fake news. Also providing guidance on how to handle misinformation in an age of “alternative facts”, this is a fascinating and vital reading for students and academics in psychology, communication, and political science and for professionals including policy makers and journalists.

Book Description
First published in 1987. This volume presents papers from the Fifth Ontario Symposium on Personality and Social Psychology, held at the University of Waterloo, August 21-23, 1984. The contributors are active researchers in the area of social influence. One of the purposes of this volume is to provide an accurate picture of our current knowledge about social influence processes. Thus, the chapters describe important recent developments in this area. A second and perhaps more important purpose of this volume is to bring together scholars with different perspectives on the social influence process in order to stimulate further research and theorizing in this area.
