This study compares the news consumption, sharing and curating behavior on Twitter between Twitter opinion leaders and traditional opinion leaders, based on an online survey of 1,005 South Korean adults. The results indicate that both traditional opinion leadership and Twitter opinion leadership are significantly related to a high level of news use via traditional media and social networking sites (SNS). While traditional opinion leaders are likely to add links of traditional media news and web-only sites news to their tweets, Twitter opinion leaders tend to add links of traditional media news, web-only sites news, SNS news, and citizen journalism news to their tweets. This study also finds that those who consume news and curate the news on Twitter reveal stronger Twitter opinion leadership than those who consume news but do not curate the news.

Although the public regularly attempts to interact with reporters on Twitter, it is not clear to what extent reporters at various types of news outlets engage with citizens, politicians, and other users on the microblog. To find out, a content analysis was conducted on 4,500 tweets during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign from political reporters at TV networks/cable news, online-only news websites, and large newspapers. Findings indicate significant differences in Twitter interactivity by news outlet type, with TV political reporters most likely to interact with politicians and online-only political reporters most likely to interact with citizens. However, interactivity was generally low except with fellow journalists, which supports the normalization hypothesis.

A content analysis of 560 articles from 56 citizen journalism websites based in the United States showed more than a quarter of the stories didn’t use sources and nearly half used only one source. When sources were used, traditional media and press releases were often cited. When citizen journalists used traditional media as a source, they tended to quote directly from previously published material and then used an external hyperlink. Press releases were often quoted directly from, or published directly to, the citizen journalism sites. More than 90% of the stories did adhere to the traditional journalistic norm of objectivity since many stories were sourced from mainstream media reports and press releases. Stories reported most often included event, political, and business stories.

Contextual journalism calls for depth of news reporting rather than “just the facts.” A national survey of local television (TV) journalists indicated the increasing popularity of this more comprehensive reporting form. Although news sociologists contend that local TV routines facilitate the production of quick, less substantive stories, TV respondents in the present study highly valued comprehensive, contextual news styles—even more than newspaper journalists. Building on the work of Weaver and colleagues’ “American Journalist” project, TV news workers in this survey preferred contextual roles, such as alerting the public of potential threats and acting in a socially responsible way, but also valued traditional broadcasting roles, such as getting information to the public quickly. TV news roles were compared to those of newspaper journalists to analyze how professionals in different media view their work identities.

Thanks to the internet and steaming video options, traditional cable news channels have seen a decline in viewership among millennials. In 2014, CBS launched CBSN, an online streaming channel that offers coverage of news streamed to mobile devices and internet-connected television sets. The goal of this article is to argue that the traditional cable news channels should invest in creating similar services aimed at millennials that offers perspectives and coverage of the news from a presentation format that would appeal to this generation.

By utilizing 15 in-depth interviews with current and former local television (TV) news videographers and editors, this article examines vertical video and what impact it is having on the production of local TV news. Three key themes are analyzed to investigate this trend: (1) the discourse video professionals use to distinguish their work as professional while labeling 9 × 16 vertical video “amateur,” creating what Pierre Bourdieu called a habitus; (2) the role vertical video has in influencing video professionals’ daily newsroom responsibilities; and (3) where vertical video fits within the business of local TV news. Mobile applications collect and display vertical content natively, and this article argues that local news professionals should recognize the creative opportunity in producing original content to engage new audiences on various platforms.

This study investigates the truism that sensationalism in news is a guarantee for success in terms of selling the story to the public. More specifically, it investigates the impact of sensationalist content and packaging features on news viewing behavior. A web-based experiment among 190 participants was conducted in which participants could watch a maximum of 16 news stories that varied in content (neutral vs. negative stories) and packaging (standard vs. tabloid stories). The viewing time per news story was the dependent variable. Results show that sensationalism stimulates viewing time, but also that there are limits to the power of sensationalism. In all, the truism about sensationalism as a guarantee for success appears to be largely true, but not completely.

Social sharing of news content through Twitter, Facebook, email, and other platforms is increasingly important to local television (TV) news stations. This article presents the results of a longitudinal content analysis of the prevalence and design of the automated social sharing tools presented next to timely, local news content on TV news websites between 2010 and 2015. While 93% of news websites now contain automated social sharing icons, approximately 36% of the social shares from these tools contain incorrect information or lead back to different content altogether. While social sharing options have increased since 2010, automated messages shared with the links, and link accuracy rates, remain relatively unchanged. As readers’ social sharing of news stories becomes more important to the TV news industry’s penetration into social media platforms, it is increasingly crucial to study these automated social tools and how they can serve as unintentional gatekeepers by sharing the wrong information.
