“…In this view, media such as television, Internet, and others directly change, intervene, and shape the interaction [32, p. 364]. According to the theory, as media become more pervasive, relations among people and organizations are redefined at the micro-level, along with their meanings at the macro-level [28]. As presented in the results section, chatbots are envisioned to affect how people interact with one other in religious activities.…”

“…This exploratory study highlights the versatility of chatbots in spiritual practices, as well as the personal and intimate nature of spiritual and religious practices. Additionally, the wide spectrum of participants' answers calls for further research towards a more critical engagement with advanced intelligence in media and social life [3,4,11,28]. In the spirit of our exploratory study, we offer three design implications as follows.…”

Chatbots are increasingly adopted in our daily activities such as offering customer services and supporting our social activities. Yet, their potential for spiritual purpose is insufficiently explored. Interested in closing this gap, we conducted an interview study with 23 participants comprising 12 Christians, 5 Hindus, 4 Buddhists, 1 Muslim, and 1 Pagan, to probe how people who profess a religion perceive the idea of interacting with a chatbot in a spiritual context. During the interview, we also used a chatbot prototype to engage people in the speculation of a chatbot's roles in religious spaces and the desired functions. Our participants envisioned that spiritual chatbots retrieve religious information for the user. Some welcomed the idea of engaging in a religious conversation with a chatbot while others also expressed concerns of letting chatbots play an active role in religious space.

“…Mediatisation has a German origin -mediatisierung (Couldry & Hepp, 2013;Livingstone, 2009;Nie et al, 2014) that emphasized the dominance of the media in nearly all aspects of life during the 20th century (Hepp, 2013). With evolving media technologies, individuals and institutions have increasingly relied on the media because media offerings have become convenient, affordable and dynamic (Nie, et al, 2014).…”

“…The disagreement is not so much routed in the lack of definition or ambiguity of definition but rather in the lack of a theoretical framework in which the two most divergent aspects of its meaning can be understood". Despite the uncertainty emerging from mediatisation discourse with scholars giving this field of research labels such as 'word/term' (Knoblauch, 2013) or 'concept' (Christensen & Jansson, 2014;Deacon & Stanyer, 2014, Falasca, 2014Falasca 2014;Nie, et al, 2014), it is introduced as a theory by Hepp et al, (2015) who argue that "the research field's understanding of mediatisation has matured, theoretically as well as empirically" (p.315). They maintain that there is a growing conceptual and empirical research which explains mediatisation processes in different aspects of life-politics, religion, culture, education, commerce, even conflicts.…”

A Theoretical Discourse on the Mediatisation and Framing of Jos Ethno-Religious Conflicts

Studies on the role of journalists in the Jos ethno-religious conflicts are enormous, but none examines this phenomenon through the theoretical lenses of mediatisation and news framing to understand the logic that underpins the construction of conflict narratives. While mediatisation describes media logic in news production, news framing suggests the way the narratives which constitute news are constructed. Both theories explain journalistic practices in many respects. For instance, understanding media logic is the first step in identifying journalists' role in the Jos conflicts which in turn determines the brand of journalism they adopt.The Jos conflicts involve a 'settler' group craving for recognition and legitimacy on the one hand, and a group of 'indigenes' that insists the territory is its inheritance on the other. Based on critical analysis, this paper argues that journalists impose media logic on their audiences through news framing and make them to understand reality from their own point of view. This effort is a new thinking towards understanding theoretical dimensions to media and/or journalistic interventions in the Jos violent conflicts so that researchers may build on these frameworks.
