An overview of the 2023 RTDNA/Newhouse School at Syracuse University Survey shows that 2022 was a year of mixed results in local TV news. This summary report includes information about local television newsroom staff size, matters of employee retention, use of MMJs, and both hiring and salary data.

This study examines Twitter “resistance” discourse leading up to the 2018 U.S. midterm elections, which was widely viewed as a response to the 2016 presidential election then President Donald J. Trump won a majority of electoral college votes while Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. When analyzing randomly selected tweets with the term “resistance” social networks emerged discussing multiple associated terms with “resistance.” Once mapping these networks, the conversation frames that drove discourse across the virtual communities included the most used frame, the #MeToo frame, along with intersectionality and community-building frames. The results of the 2016 presidential election, and Trump's victory, enabled by explicit appeals to race and gender stereotypes, prompted a wave of civic activism, included in the social media conversations outlined in this study.

Journalism outlets are regularly looking for ways to reach their audiences. One of those ways that has increased in popularity over time is social media. However, little is known about how to best create content that connects to the audiences through these platforms. The current exploratory study utilizes quantitative content analysis to understand how three regional newspapers in the United States utilized Instagram for content distribution. Regional newspapers were selected to have non-elite levels of funding and staffing. Findings demonstrate three approaches to the platform from each of the outlets studied in terms of topic, visual approach, multimedia utilized, and more. The user responses to the content are also discussed.

Academic literature points to proximity, including geographic, political, economic, and cultural, as a key news value that influences media attention, sourcing, and visual framing across conflicts. Focusing on the prolonged Nile Dam crisis that has put Egypt and Ethiopia on the verge of military conflict, the study uses quantitative and qualitative content analyses to explore how China, Qatar and the UK's proximity to Egypt and Ethiopia relates to the framing of the conflict in China Global Television Network (CGTN), Al Jazeera English (AJE), and British Broadcasting Corporation's (BBC) English-language news articles and photographs online in 2019-2021. While proximity factored in AJE's more frequent coverage of the dispute, the study reveals how media systems and dependency on news agencies can mitigate proximity's impact on coverage and how temporary political tensions and economic aspirations can prompt more favorable reporting of the least culturally, linguistically, geographically, economically, and/or politically proximate country.

This study examined competing narratives about the actions of the United States abroad through an analysis of 314 news items of the 2021 American withdrawal from Afghanistan by two media organizations: Russian Sputnik and American Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. The textual analysis revealed five dominant themes in Sputnik: Americans as losers and Taliban as winners, Americans as incompetent, Americans as unreliable, insensitive, and irresponsible, Americans as duplicitous, and Americans as a threat to world peace; and four dominant themes in RFE/RL: The Taliban taking over the country quickly, Americans successfully leading the evacuations, Americans having good faith and defending the decision to pull out, and Americans as naïve and lacking good judgment. The findings are interpreted in light of the image theory and second-level agenda setting theory.

This exploratory study analyzes television news transcripts ( N = 300) to examine how broadcast news networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) and cable news networks (CNN, Fox, and MSNBC) cover military veterans and service members in news programming. Findings show that the stories and sources of broadcast news networks focused on veterans and service members or their families, while cable news networks relied on legislative issues, politicians and other elite sources. Other findings and recommendations are discussed.

While algorithms govern our newsfeed on social networking sites, most studies have sought to explore conditions to encourage audience interaction with news content. Few, however, have examined how audiences may refrain from content interaction which provides key indicators for news organizations gauging content impact and reflects online civic engagement. Through the theoretical lens of self-presentation and hyperpersonal model, this study examines the role of algorithmic awareness and self-monitoring in SNS news consumption. Using an online survey of Facebook news consumers (N = 808), findings reveal an association between algorithmic awareness, self-monitoring, and active news consumption on Facebook. The mediating role of self-monitoring indicates that levels of algorithmic awareness encourage active consumption when the stakes for self-presentation on the platform are high. Differences in algorithmic awareness levels by gender, age, and education are identified. The study provides promising preliminary evidence on how algorithmic awareness impacts SNS news consumption and practical implications for practitioners.

The past two Atlantic hurricane seasons have been among the most active in history. In the hurricane-prone southeast, broadcast meteorologists and emergency managers want their communities to both understand and trust the severe weather alerts they send out. This study examined how college students, a vulnerable population, view those messages. Results show students believed they understood, and actually did understand, messages with both human and graphics more than human only or graphics only. The human-graphics combination was also the most trusted of the three options. These findings suggest that not only is the human element important in emergency messages but students are also seeking out local television and meteorologists for their weather information more than the internet.

This study uses content analysis to explore the way a news organization's norms and expectations is tied to video production style and extends Rogers's Diffusion of Innovations theory. The study compares the current online video production styles from legacy print, legacy TV, and digital native news organizations based in the United States. Over time, while these organizations have converged into one screen for viewers, their differing organizational histories, traditions, and norms affect the way they produce video news. The analysis found legacy print organizations continue to produce slower-paced videos without scripted narration; TV organizations use scripted narration with one correspondent; and digital natives produce stories with quick pacing and a mix of narrator types. Diffusion of Innovations theory helps to explain why these organizations offer distinct production styles that are not converging in form.
