“…People were motivated to take privacy protection behavior and support governmental regulation. These findings confirm that people's evaluation of and behavioral reactions to an innovative technology-driven practice are often influenced by the ways with which the innovative practice is framed in the press coverage (Cogan, 2005).…”

Cyber vigilantism, in particular crowdsourced vigilantism, is a newly emerging practice whereby people expose misconducts and identify culprits through collaboratively searching and publicizing information using the Internet. This study proposes a theory-oriented framework with which we demonstrate that individuals’ media exposure and perceived social norms may interact and jointly predict their reception of and reactions to the practice. We tested the framework with web survey data of 800 adults in Taiwan. Results showed that the frequency and the ways in which the press covers cyber vigilantism were both directly and indirectly associated with individuals’ acceptance of or resistance to cyber vigilantism. The indirect associations were mediated by individuals’ evaluations and perceived social acceptance of the practice. We suggest that obtaining favorable news coverage is essential for cyber vigilantism to gain acceptance and attract crowds. When modeling or predicting the structure and evolving process of this newly emerging cyber practice, researchers may want to consider the overall media environment, social context, and personal evaluations.

“…Fourth, a regulatory frame in which political actions caused technological developments, which consequently induced political regulations. Cogan (2005) and Kelly (2009) studied the media coverage of computers between the 1970s and 1990s and found that the coverage of social digitization mainly consisted of highlighting the personal utility of digital devices. During this period, the media were prone to ignore the negative technological or societal consequences such as hacking and potential risks to children.…”

In recent years, digital technologies have developed rapidly and have consequently been adopted for wider social purposes. It follows that digitization has economic and political consequences to the extent that it generates new forms of production, distribution and regulation. This study shows how print media present the interface between digital technologies and society. Arguing with a theoretical framework consisting of political parallelism at the media system level, editorial lines at the media outlet level and diverging values and sociological structures at the journalistic level, systematic differences in the frame building of digitization between outlets are assumed. The findings of a content analysis of print media from 2003 and 2008 indicate that social digitization framing was partially ideologically motivated. A content analysis of German print media shows that left-leaning press reports social digitization critically by highlighting the negative consequences of political actions. Conversely, right-leaning press portrays social digitization more often and in a more positive light by slightly emphasizing its economic characteristics.

“…Brennen et al ( 2018 , p.1) found that the recent UK media treatment of artificial intelligence (AI) was also generally positive, ‘portraying AI as a relevant and competent solution to a range of public problems [….] with little acknowledgement of on-going debates concerning AI’s potential effects.’ Arceneaux and Schmitz Weiss ( 2010 ) observed that early coverage of Twitter, like that of personal computers (Cogan 2005 ), was consistently positive, heralding everything from its ability to ‘make valuable business contacts or find jobs’ (p. 9) to facilitating political mobilization and ‘access to political information’ as politicians embraced it.…”

The coverage of cultured meat in the US and UK traditional media, 2013–2019: drivers, sources, and competing narratives

2020

‘Cultured’ meat has attracted a considerable amount of investor and media interest as an early-stage technology. Despite uncertainties about its future impact, news media may be contributing to promissory discourses, by stressing the potential benefits from cultured meat to the environment, health, animal welfare, and feeding a growing population. The results from a content analysis of 255 articles from 12 US and UK traditional media from 2013 to 2019 show that much of the coverage is prompted by the industry sector, whose representatives are also the most quoted. Positive narratives about cultured meat are much more prominent than cautionary ones. Our findings support previous scholarship on other emerging technologies which concluded that with important variations, media treatments are largely positive.
