Most TV/Newspapers Partners at Cross Promotion Stage

Abstract

A survey of editors at U.S. daily papers shows that almost 30 percent have partnerships with television stations and those partnerships exist across circulation levels. Yet, few papers are committed to convergence.

Webvergence in Practice: Comparing U.S. TV Stations’ and Newspapers’ Online Strategies at a Crucial Moment

“…Newspaper response was fairly representative of the distribution of newspapers across the top five circulation categories used by the American Society of News Editors (2010), except for the smallest circulation category, 25,000 to 50,000, which was under-represented, (35.8% of the respondents vs. 49% of the population), and the next-to-largest, 250,000 to 500,000, which 1 Names of most survey subjects were found on the Websites of the news organizations involved, through professional association listings, or by calling the news organizations. 2 Reported return rates for other similar studies were 20% for Smith, Tanner, and Duhé (2007); 25.6% for Dailey, Demo, and Spillman (2005); 20.7% for Dailey, Demo, and Spillman (2009); 37% for Lowrey (2005); and 40% and 53% for newspapers and 38% and 47% for TV stations in studies by Kraeplin and Criado (2006). was overrepresented (8% of respondents vs. 4.7% of the population).…”

Media language under conditions of media convergence: linguistic and extra-linguistic periods of its development

“…Despite the fact that the process of media convergence is well studied by various authors (Baranova, 2017;Dailey, Demo & Spillman, 2005;Domingo, Salaverría, 2007;Fisher, Grant, Wilkinson, 2008;Kachkaeva, 2010;Zhang, 2008) and many others, each researcher has the different rational and emotional content regarding this word. All definitions, to a varying degree, differ from each other.…”

“…All of them could be defined as faithful but very narrow and not capacious. Moreover, there are several approaches that describe the definition of "convergence", that are based on the description of various processes occurring at the different organizational levels of a media company (Kawamoto, 2003); perception of convergence as a gradual increase in cooperation with the print media, television and Internet portals (Dailey, Demo & Spillman, 2005); the perception of convergence as a process leading to the technologies merging, the merging of previously different and disconnected media and markets (Vartanova, 1999, pp. 11-14) and others.…”

Book Review: Marc Edge, Greatly Exaggerated: The Myth of the Death of Newspapers

“…Newspaper Research Journal 36 (2) The Gazette leadership began systematically diluting the Mail's operations, cutting staff from more than 50 to about 20. After much public and advertiser outcry, intervention by the Department of Justice restored much of the Mail's staff, and rulings put major restrictions on the Gazette's ownership and operation of the Mail, which switched to the morning cycle in 2009 and continues to compete.…”

“…2 Edge argues that these are detrimental to the printed newspaper. He does not clearly delineate convergence via merger of ownership or embracing digital media; instead, he positions both as flawed, with ownership the more flawed.…”
