“…In the context of studying media, some uses-and-gratifications scholars classify discussion as a form of audience activity that occurs after exposure to a media stimulus (e.g., Levy & Windahl, 1984, Perse & Rubin, 1988Rubin, 1993). In essence, discussion is a consequence of exposure to media (Kanihan & Gale, 2003;Kubey & Peluso, 1990). In this study, music discussion was defined as a conversational exchange about music that may be either in a face-to-face or mediated communication context.…”

People listen to music for many different reasons. However, few researchers have examined people's motives for listening to music and the potential social effects of music listening. This study addressed this gap in the communication literature, and employed a uses-and-gratifications theoretical framework. Exploratory factor analyses were used to identify 5 music-listening motives and 7 music genre preferences. In addition, hierarchical regression analysis revealed how antecedents predicted music discussion with others. Possible theoretical implications for both uses-and-gratifications and two-step flow theory were discussed.People talk about music-a fact to which veterans of company mixers, impromptu soirees, and awkward first dates will attest. However, music discussion is not limited to uncomfortable first encounters or small talk associated with social functions. Our daily conversations with friends, family, and coworkers also are rife with talk of favorite bands and musicians, concert experiences, and music competition shows. However, despite the ubiquity of music-related conversation, few communication scholars have focused serious effort on studying music listening or music listeners' discussion of music with others (Chaffee, 1985).

“…In his study of political reporting and bias, Englis (1994) found that journalists' projections of anger, fear, or stress induced the same emotions in viewers. These findings also transferred to emotional nonverbal displays of newscasters with anger (Kanihan & Gale, 2003), stress (Schuster, 2001), depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and sleeplessness (Pew Research Center, 2002). Since network reporters have the ability to influence a wide audience with potential biases (Nacos, 2003), it is critical for journalists to be aware of any behavior that could communicate nonneutrality, including nonverbal behaviors.…”

Written All Over Their Faces: Neutrality and Nonverbal Expression in Sandy Hook Coverage

During crises, it’s challenging for journalists to keep their emotions out of reports. While broadcast journalists try to keep linguistic messages neutral, nonverbal behaviors are difficult to conceal. Graber’s stages of crisis coverage theory discusses routines of covering crisis and preventing verbal bias but doesn’t examine nonverbal bias. This study examines the neutrality of nonverbal expressions conveyed during the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School through the lens of the stages of crisis coverage theory. This study provides insight for understanding the responses news organizations should have in terms of crisis coverage. By examining the ways that the influence of emotional events have on the nonverbal expressivity of journalists during crisis, researchers can better understand the ritualization of the nonverbal neutrality standards of the profession and make recommendations on potential ways that the field could adapt their current crisis plans to consider nonverbal communication displays more explicitly. Further, by combining crisis planning, media ritualization practices, and journalistic nonverbal expression, this research provides further insight into how performance by media during a crisis can influence cultural meaning about the event for viewers. The findings in this study also suggest the stages of crisis coverage theory was not upheld by broadcasters in this context, calling for reexamination of the theory’s uses and applications to all crisis coverage.

“…More recent studies have increasingly paid attention to emerging media, examining when and how people become aware of news through various channels, including the internet (Greenberg et al, 2002;Kanihan and Gale, 2003;Ruggiero and Glascock, 2002), as well as in what patterns they use or adopt the internet (Nguyen, 2008;Nguyen and Western, 2007). However, these studies have more or less maintained the welltrodden approach to the new phenomenon, rather than posing new questions.…”

The emerging mediascape, same old theories? A case study of online news diffusion in Korea

This article aims to re-examine the main ideas of traditional diffusion study in the context of the internet. Two news stories, one initiated by an established news organization and one uploaded by an individual internet user, were selected for our case study. The study analyzed how a news story gets carried on through various websites of media organizations and individuals. We found that the original stories undergo transformations in terms of content and form over time in the diffusion process. The authors hence introduce a new concept, 'seed news', in order to explain this transformative online news diffusion phenomenon. The concept of seed news may subsume the manifold and dynamic process of diffusion, addition, displacement, evolution, and decline of the news story. It also comes to terms with the multifarious dimensions of transmission and the active interplay between the media and users, or among the users themselves.
