The communication field is undergoing a fundamental transformation, driven by at least three interrelated factors. One is the emergence of only a handful technology platforms as powerful information gatekeepers for both producers and users of informational content. These platforms include not only social media companies like Meta and Twitter but also distribution and vendor platforms, such as Netflix or Amazon. All of them rely on business models that—informed by behavioral, digital trace, and a host of other microand meso-level consumer data—algorithmically tailor or microtarget information based on consumer preferences. A second and related transformation facing our field is the fading out of “mass communication” as a meaningful concept. The golden age of journalism, during which mostly middle-aged White men “broadcast” news to hundreds of millions of Americans, has been over for a while. “Post-broadcast democracy,” a term coined by political scientist Markus Prior, foreshadowed many of the challenges that have arisen from “narrowcasting,” that is, the increasing audience fragmentation that was partly a motivation for and partly a result of the advent of cable television. MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow summarized cable TV’s philosophy of segmentation both succinctly and depressingly during her Theodore H. White lecture at Harvard’s Shorenstein Center in 2010:
在至少三个相互关联的因素的推动下，通信领域正在经历一场根本性的变革。一个是只有少数技术平台作为信息内容的生产者和用户的强大信息看门人出现。这些平台不仅包括Meta和Twitter等社交媒体公司，还包括Netflix或亚马逊等分销和供应商平台。所有这些都依赖于商业模式——由行为、数字追踪和大量其他微观和中观层面的消费者数据提供信息——基于消费者偏好的算法定制或微目标信息。我们这个领域面临的第二个和相关的转变是“大众传播”作为一个有意义的概念的淡出。新闻业的黄金时代已经结束一段时间了，在这个时代，大多数中年白人男性向数亿美国人“广播”新闻。政治学家马库斯·普莱尔(Markus Prior)创造的“后广播民主”(Post-broadcast democracy)一词预示了“窄播”带来的许多挑战，也就是说，观众越来越分散，这部分是有线电视出现的动机，部分是有线电视出现的结果。2010年，MSNBC的主播雷切尔·马多在哈佛大学肖伦斯坦中心(Shorenstein Center)的西奥多·h·怀特(Theodore H. White)讲座中，简洁而沮丧地总结了有线电视的细分哲学:

The monograph presents a rigorous, pioneering endeavor; it unveils initial findings that may prompt additional journalism research in a brand-new and fruitful direction. Soo Young Shin intends to direct attention to attributes of news media beyond trust or cred-ibility that the existing scholarship cannot fully account for, including in the context of the situation currently facing the news industry. Shin’s valuable piece draws on an interesting conceptual foundation, and its verification has been arduously executed with three well-thought-out studies. The main discoveries of the study may contribute to several interconnected fields, including media business, journalism practice, and marketing strategies. Its primary contribution lies in the innovative thinking described at the outset that can inspire future scholars to study audience perceptions of individual news outlets and to gauge the impact of these images on marketability and popularity. That said, on one hand, perhaps due to its massive global scope, the theoretical articulation and elaboration of all related components that led to the author’s inquiry (such as the conceptual parallelism of college reputation and national image to news firms) is not entirely cogent. Also, the synthesis of findings may not necessarily reflect and encapsulate the entire image structure of a given media corporation or industry. On the other hand, the monograph offers gems that deserve to be highlighted. communication at Boston University. His research areas are international communication and political communication.

专著提出了一个严格的，开创性的努力;它揭示了一些初步的发现，这些发现可能会促使更多的新闻研究朝着一个全新而富有成效的方向发展。Soo Young Shin希望将人们的注意力转移到现有学术无法完全解释的信任或信誉之外的新闻媒体属性上，包括在新闻行业目前面临的情况下。Shin的这篇有价值的文章借鉴了一个有趣的概念基础，并且通过三个深思熟虑的研究艰苦地进行了验证。该研究的主要发现可能有助于几个相互关联的领域，包括媒体业务，新闻实践和营销策略。它的主要贡献在于开头描述的创新思维，可以启发未来的学者研究受众对个别新闻媒体的看法，并衡量这些形象对市场和受欢迎程度的影响。也就是说，一方面，也许由于其庞大的全球范围，导致作者调查的所有相关组成部分的理论阐述和阐述(例如大学声誉和国家形象对新闻公司的概念平行性)并不完全令人信服。此外，调查结果的综合可能不一定反映和概括给定媒体公司或行业的整个形象结构。另一方面，专著提供了值得强调的宝石。他是波士顿大学的传播学教授。主要研究方向为国际传播、政治传播。他曾在多家期刊上发表文章，并与人合著了有关媒体与政治相互作用的书籍，包括《媒体、政治和亚裔美国人》(汉普顿)和《选民决策中的形象和情感:影响议程》

The premise of this study is the timeliness of interdisciplinary approaches in news media research, specifically including the perceptions of news audiences. Using a multidisciplinary literature review and qualitative and quantitative analysis, this study adopted a multidimensional construct—news media image—to investigate how news audiences perceive news media organizations. The respondents studied here, who were representative of the general U.S. population, referenced the news media in general in their evaluation of news outlets. Results of focus groups and online surveys (factor analyses) indicated that news audiences evaluate the content and practices of news media overall based on perceptions related to seven specific criteria: usefulness, credibility, empathy, personality, usability, news selection bias, and social responsibility. Image perception encompasses rational, cognitive judgment, and affective evaluation. That news audience respondents commonly employed multiple evaluation criteria related to news media points to the need to broaden the scope of journalistic research in the direction of a new heuristic. Examining news media image, that is, investigating how “the general public” views news media as an institution in a continuously changing—and challenging—news media landscape adds value to media research. Results from a confirmatory factor analysis used in this study suggest that a positive news media image can enhance audience satisfaction and, subsequently, loyalty.

William Randolph Hearst became editor and proprietor of the San Francisco Examiner in 1887, and by 1935, he had assembled a media empire consisting of nearly 30 major newspapers, 13 magazines, 8 radio stations, 3 news wires, and 2 motion picture companies. Most scholarship about Hearst has focused on his newspapers; less studied have been the magazines he acquired early in the 20th century. This monograph examines immigrant representations in Hearst magazines published between 1905 and 1945, focusing on how magazine fiction, nonfiction, and “fact-fiction” articles presented immigrants and immigration as social and political issues. Like Hearst himself, the publications favored immigrants from Germany and the Scandinavian countries of northern Europe and tended to disfavor those from China and Japan and, to a lesser extent, Mexico. According to the magazines, immigrants from the Far East and Mexico were “undesirables” who threatened society by, allegedly, importing, selling, and using hazardous drugs. Newspaper advertisements, news articles, and editorials extended these portrayals to wider audiences. Hearst also applied cross-media promotion to motion pictures, with writers converting fiction from his magazines into screenplays for Cosmopolitan Productions and MGM. The monograph contains examples of how magazine content and iconic covers have informed contemporary films and television series. In recent years, stylized representations have glamorized lifestyles but have also perpetuated cultural stereotypes that may contribute to anti-immigrant attitudes.

Wars end, but propaganda survives and evolves. This is the primary message of Fondren’s analysis of the challenges faced by German officials more than a century ago as they struggled to garner domestic and international support for the First World War. The Germans were prescient: a “patriotic” model for military news would emerge and solidify over the coming century. This demonstrates that the keys to success for wartime propaganda identified by Germans during World War I—the necessity of coopting journalists, using new communication technologies, and finding attractive national narratives to obscure the harsh realities of war—are now deployed to great effect by authoritarian and democratic nations alike. According to the patriotic model of news, the norms of objectivity and service to the citizenry are overwritten by the notion that news must serve national interests and help propagandize the national war effort. In fact, politicians in democratic countries have adopted that same model of the news for internal use. By the same token, as the Germans came to acknowledge, the impossibility of being able to completely gloss over atrocities or turn them into positive messaging remains true today. Countries now have much more effective patriotic models of the news, in which both free and authoritarian media systems preference emotion over facts to promote military actions. The efficacy of military propaganda reminds us that stories of strength, power, and dominance tend to travel farther and faster than calls for equity and unity. With the advent of the internet and the collapse of national media boundaries, the subversion of free media into propaganda outlets eventually moved from international conflict to domestic politics, notably in the United States under Donald Trump. Nations have discovered that authoritarian messages that rely more on emotions than facts wield significant political power.

During the First World War (1914–1918), all belligerent governments realized that propaganda proficiency was critical to selling their causes and stirring up support for the war. Yet German propagandists in particular struggled to master mass media, manage their messages, and build audience trust during the Great War in their goal to control domestic and foreign public opinion. Although previous scholarship has agreed that the German propaganda machine failed, little has been said about how Germany recognized these failures early on and sought to remedy them through increasingly modern propaganda strategies—even if those strategies were ultimately no match for the public’s growing distrust of official information. This monograph examines how it was that more institutions, more manpower, new publicity initiatives, copying tactics from enemies, crowdsourcing ideas, and eventually focusing on visuals and film did little to boost morale at home or improve Germany’s reputation abroad. The findings rest on a historical analysis of military dispatches, federal policy documents, letters, news stories, propaganda materials, and memoirs located in German and U.S. archives. Although many of the methods and tactics these early propagandists used would fail, others would become part of the universal toolbox governments still rely on to influence people’s views and spread information.
