ABSTRACT Americans often learn about important health issues through pharmaceutical advertisements. Unfortunately, public trust in the pharmaceutical industry historically registers at low levels. Therefore, it is important to examine different aspects of commercial elements that may promote or prevent audience trust. This study combines different levels of viewing experience (comparing implicit micro-level behaviours with explicit self-reports) to examine the potential effect of ‘Actor Portrayal’ versus ‘Real Patient’ disclaimers in HPV vaccination advertisements. Key findings show that fixation count on the type of disclaimer significantly predicted perceptions of message credibility. Exposure to specific disclaimers also influenced perceptions of vaccine effectiveness as well as future vaccination intentions. The practical implications of these results are discussed in relation to establishing audience trust and evaluating current industry practices.

ABSTRACT Sharenting, a behaviour that parents share children’s personal information online, has brought about multiple privacy concerns and risks. Parents are criticised for violating children’s privacy and putting their identities at risk of being stolen. Existing sharenting studies tried to explain the sharenting behaviour based on the assumption that shared content is solely owned by children. This study, adopting a multiparty privacy perspective, proposed that sharenting content includes information owned solely by children and co-owned by parents and children, emphasizing the importance of recognizing information co-ownership by parents. By conducting 16 in-depth interviews, the current study investigated parents’ perceptions of sharenting content and explored factors that may influence sharenting behaviours. Results indicated that parents have a misunderstanding of information ownership and are unaware of children’s rights to co-owned information. Also, the sharenting behaviours are also influenced by audiences’ comments, family members’ privacy perceptions, cultural values, and exposure to negative news.

ABSTRACT When people share news stories on social media, they appeal to transcendent values: showing care, creating a community, seeking certainty, or demonstrating competence. This places news sharing in the realm of ritual actions. This is not always successful, however. This paper argues that failure of these rituals indicates their importance and shows how news-sharing rituals adapt to maintain their relevance in an environment dominated by the smartphone and influenced the fear of misinformation. Twelve focus groups discussed news sharing and the discussions suggested first what kind of transcendent ritual values are important when sharing news; second, what happens when the ritual fails; and third how the ritual adapts in the face of failure to maintain appeals to transcendent values. It offers evidence to challenge the myth of the media centre, and to question the role of the individual taking personal responsibility for the adaptation of ritual behaviour that contributes to the cohesion and survival of communities.

ABSTRACT This study seeks to uncover the mechanism of partisan-motivated reasoning acting on fake news evaluation and social media sharing through an online experiment. We found that, although political identification influences trustworthiness of news source and perceived levels of satire in fake news, Democrats view news outlets as more trustworthy than Republicans, and Republicans view fake news as more satirical than Democrats. We determined that political congruence or incongruence does not affect subjects’ ratings of veracity of fake news, which showed accuracy-motivated reasoning surpassed directional-motivated reasoning in the veracity evaluation process. This may be because trustworthiness and satire are types of information that are tied more closely to directional-motivated reasoning. For news diffusion, political identification and satire play a more important role in social media sharing. People are more likely to share satire. Moreover, Republicans tend to view fake news as more cynical and share fake news with a larger audience.

ABSTRACT Since 2007, celebrity author J.K. Rowling has disseminated retroactive reconstruction (retcon) statements via social media that seemingly seek to expand character diversity in her transmedial Wizarding World of the Harry Potter franchise. In response, fans have used Twitter to call out the difference between Rowling’s assertions of diversity and actual diversity they consider authoritative or ‘canon’. Thus, Rowling’s retcon statements, rather than enhancing her reputation and audience experiences, have instead created Public Relations (PR) challenges. Focusing on Rowling’s 2019 comments regarding Dumbledore and Grindelwald’s relationship in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and the PR crisis they precipitated on Twitter, Rowling’s communication strategies in response to the PR challenge of reputational damage done by her Twitter statements, are examined, especially through the lens of Coombs’ Situational Crisis Communication Theory.

Welcome to Issue No. 2 of 2023. In this issue, you will find a diverse selection of scholarly articles emanating from different places across our Asia-Pacific region as well as from Africa. This issue opens with a methodological piece that considers if a new research paradigm is needed to study the creative industries. It then shifts into a ‘representational’ mode, with one comparative piece examining media power in the construction of the aged-care debate in Australian and Malaysia, followed by a fascinating discussion of autism in Vietnamese digital news media. Discussion on COVID-19 continues in this issue with an article critiquing strategic tweets and stories from Chinese authorities during the pandemic. We also have an interesting qualitative study on the use of extension agents in connecting rural people to food security programs in eastern Tigray, Ethiopia. The issue concludes with two papers focusing on two different aspects of Aotearoa New Zealand: biodiversity conservation and post-gay identities. The former explores the communication of the Predator Free 2050 Strategy by the Department of Conservation, while the latter undertakes a narrative analysis of homomasculinity among gay and queer men in Aotearoa New Zealand. I am certain you will enjoy most, if not all, of the papers in this issue. Speaking of Aotearoa New Zealand, the 2023 Annual Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA) will take place in Wellington, the nation’s capital. The conference theme is ‘Ka mua, ka muri: Bridging communication pasts and futures’. As most of our readers know, Communication Research and Practice is an ANZCA journal and we would usually reserve a special issue dedicated to papers presented at the conference. There is nothing like being in-attendance and in-person, so do consider joining us in November 2023. More information can be obtained from the conference website (www.anzca2023. com), which notes on the homepage:
欢迎来到2023年第2期。在这一期中，你会发现来自亚太地区和非洲不同地方的各种学术文章。这个问题以方法论的部分开始，考虑是否需要一种新的研究范式来研究创意产业。然后，它转变为一种“代表性”模式，其中一篇比较文章研究了澳大利亚和马来西亚在老年人护理辩论中构建的媒体力量，随后是越南数字新闻媒体中自闭症的有趣讨论。关于新冠肺炎的讨论在本期中继续进行，一篇文章批评了中国当局在大流行期间的战略推文和故事。我们还开展了一项有趣的定性研究，内容是利用推广机构将埃塞俄比亚提格雷东部的农村人口与粮食安全项目联系起来。这期杂志以两篇论文结尾，重点关注新西兰奥特罗阿的两个不同方面:生物多样性保护和后同性恋身份。前者探讨了环境保护部的“2050年无捕食者战略”的传播，而后者则对新西兰奥特罗阿的同性恋和酷儿男性中的男同性恋进行了叙事分析。我相信你会喜欢本期的大部分文章，如果不是全部的话。说到新西兰，澳大利亚和新西兰通信协会(ANZCA)的2023年年会将在新西兰首都惠灵顿举行。会议的主题是“Ka mua, Ka muri:连接沟通的过去和未来”。我们的大多数读者都知道，《传播研究与实践》是ANZCA的期刊，我们通常会为会议上发表的论文预留一个特刊。没有什么比亲临现场更好的了，所以请考虑在2023年11月加入我们。更多信息可从会议网站(www.anzca2023)获得。)，并在网页上注明:

ABSTRACT Combining computational and qualitative methods, this research presents a novel approach to the analysis of China’s digital diplomacy. The study explores the main strategic narratives disseminated by the Chinese Communist Party on Twitter during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. To identify the narratives, a sequential design was conducted. First, topic modelling was implemented to a sample of 189,708 tweets in English published by 163 Chinese authorities from January 1st, 2020, to March 11th, 2021. Second, the strategic narratives framework was applied to distinguish thematic and structural patterns among the most representative tweets of the main topics revealed. The findings expose how China tried to rationalise challenging events in accordance with its pre-established system and identity narratives. The antagonism to the West, the promotion of a new style of global leadership, the rejection of criticism, and the legitimation of projects abroad characterised China’s digital endeavours to influence international audiences.

ABSTRACT This article explores relationships between media power and older people in Western and non-Western settings, utilising the examples of Australia and Malaysia. Drawing on Fairclough’s three-dimensional critical discourse analysis and a dataset of articles from Australian and Malaysian newspapers, it reveals that despite differences in journalistic practices in the two countries there is a common thread of disparate representation of voices of older people and elites in news about older people. This demonstrates the exercise of power by journalists – and the influence of broader media and socio-political environments – in sustaining and reproducing social inequalities, including opportunities for people to have their stories and issues portrayed fairly and accurately. While the lack of critical engagement by Malaysian journalists can be linked to social norms and ideas of Asian-based development journalism, the absence of critical engagement from the Australian news media can be seen as conflicting with their Fourth Estate watchdog role.

ABSTRACT Quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods designs are accepted approaches to researching the creative industries. However, while these bring a depth of understanding, they do not generally include an understanding of the ‘making’ of a creative artefact; practitioners in the creative industries make creative products. A first-hand examination of the ‘making’, via an approach such as creative practice as research, provides a much-needed account of creative activity in the creative industries. But we take this argument further and provide a rationale for using creative practice as research alongside quantitative and qualitative approaches in a new research approach called extended-mixed methods. This paper discusses this approach and demonstrates that it can be defended within a constructionist epistemology.

ABSTRACT The development of queer theory in gender studies has provided multiple possibilities to investigate different aspects of gender construction and performance among people who identify as different from the dominant heterosexual norm. This narrative inquiry examines the identities of gay and queer men in Aotearoa New Zealand, as narrated in semi-structured interviews, with most of them recorded via virtual interactions during the COVID-19 lockdown in March-April of 2020. Narrative analysis of the participants’ stories focuses on how gay and queer individuals navigate their lives as non-normative men who are Othered by traditional, hegemonic and hierarchical masculinity. This research explores how these narratives of post-gay identities contest and move beyond heteronormativity, striving for a liberated presentation of individual self where sexuality is no longer a defining characteristic but one of many on a spectrum.
