The television news memoir is mostly a loathsome genre, self-absorbed and selfpromoting, blighted by humble-bragging and name-dropping—and light on meaningful self-criticism or insight into matters of consequence. In this, as in all else, Katie Couric conforms to expectations. It’s been more than a decade since Couric vacated the anchor chair at the CBS Evening News, but the perky young news woman who first catapulted to fame co-hosting NBC’s TODAY show in the 1990s has thrust herself back into the spotlight with a memoir that combines celebrity autobiography, dishy score-settling, gendered war stories, and selective self-disclosure. Couric starts at the beginning, with her “solidly middle class” upbringing outside Washington, DC, in a neighborhood that “was the postwar suburban dream: hilly streets teeming with kids riding bikes and playing capture the flag” (p. 24). The youngest of four kids, Couric realized that “my superpower was emotional intelligence—I learned at a very early age how to win friends and influence people” (27). She never stopped. Indeed, the secret of her success has been her preternatural ability to get people to like her, especially the powerful men in television who controlled the nation’s airwaves. Blessed by good looks, winsome confidence, and moxie, Couric’s rise in television news was quick and smooth. After college, she showed up unannounced at the ABC News bureau in Washington and talked her way into a job as a desk assistant. Over the next decade, Couric climbed steadily, from an assignment editor at CNN to on-air reporter at local TV stations in Miami and Washington, DC, and then NBC Nightly News. It wasn’t always easy. At CNN, a top executive humiliated her at an editorial meeting by announcing that she was hired because of her “breast size”—but she demanded, and got, an apology: “I liked the feeling of having his nuts in a vise,” she realized (p. 39).

Inspired by the Hutchins’ Commission 1947 report on the freedom of the press, Fred Siebert, Theodore Peterson, and Wilbur Schramm explored the concept of a socially responsible press. Their work to develop the social responsibility theory of media set the stage for 50 years of a theory that holds that the press while enjoying a “privileged position under our government, is obliged to be responsible to society for carrying out certain essential functions of mass communication in contemporary society” (Seibert et al., 1956). The basic premise is that the media have a responsibility to the public, and to an extent democracy, to provide a platform for discourse. In the more than half a decade since the publication of Four Theories, the media landscape has changed, drastically (Bagdikian, 2004). Media became a commodity and the highest bidder won the prize. Social media opened the flood gates for anyone with access to Internet and the idea to voice it. Traditional media outlets are no longer the main source of news for most Americans who use a blend of traditional and new sources to get their information (Pew, 2011). With these dramatic changes, does social responsibility still have a place in the media landscape? Adams-Bloom and Cleary (2009) claim that “although the paradigm shift has occurred, the theoretical writing has not kept pace with the modern reality” (p. 2) and propose a framework based on stakeholder theory to explain the current media landscape—a dual responsibility model—which “allows for an acknowledgment of the financial side of the media business while preserving the editorial integrity that has traditionally been at the root of social responsibility theory” (p. 7). This model focuses on the marketplace and the media outlets, but where are the journalists and the communities they serve? Wenzel (2020) offers another framework that is based on communication infrastructure theory and focuses on building trust between residents, local media outlets, and Book Review
受1947年哈钦斯委员会关于新闻自由的报告的启发，弗雷德·西伯特、西奥多·彼得森和威尔伯·施拉姆探索了对社会负责的新闻的概念。他们发展媒体社会责任理论的工作为一种理论奠定了50年的基础，该理论认为，新闻界在享有“我们政府的特权地位的同时，有义务对社会负责，在当代社会中履行大众传播的某些基本功能”(Seibert et al.， 1956)。其基本前提是，媒体对公众负有责任，并在一定程度上实现民主，为言论提供平台。在《四大理论》出版后的五年多时间里，媒体格局发生了巨大的变化(Bagdikian, 2004)。媒体成了一种商品，出价最高的人就能得奖。社交媒体为所有能上网并有想法的人打开了闸门。传统媒体渠道不再是大多数美国人的主要新闻来源，他们使用传统和新来源的混合来获取信息(皮尤，2011)。随着这些戏剧性的变化，社会责任在媒体领域还有一席之地吗?Adams-Bloom和Cleary(2009)声称“尽管范式转变已经发生，理论写作没有跟上现代现实”(第2页)，并提出了一个基于利益相关者理论的框架来解释当前的媒体格局——双重责任模型，该模型“允许承认媒体业务的财务方面，同时保留传统上作为社会责任理论基础的编辑完整性”(第7页)。该模型关注市场和媒体渠道。但记者和他们服务的社区在哪里?Wenzel(2020)提供了另一个基于通信基础设施理论的框架，重点是在居民、当地媒体和书评之间建立信任

News media are an important source of information about mental health. The present study examined how 16 news organizations in the United States portrayed Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in 880 posts on the social media platform Twitter between 2013 and 2021. Coders examined the frequency with which news organizations employed stigmatizing and counter-stigmatizing frames to communicate news about PTSD. Journalists often stigmatized PTSD, associating the condition with military veterans and violence. Less common, but still present, were frames in which readers received educational information about PTSD or encountered someone affected by PTSD. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

This study examined the impact of job risks on job performance and the propensity to quit journalism among 576 TV camerapersons covering insecurity in Nigeria. The result of the study showed a significant main effect of job risks on job performance, F(2,548) = 241.016, p = .001, eta squared, ηp2 = .468. Also, career longevity significantly affects the relationship between job risks and performance, F(1,548) = 28.372, p = .001. Despite attaining statistical significance, the degree of the relationship was low, ηp2 = .049. A significant statistical relationship exists between job risks and the propensity to quit journalism among TV camerapersons. A further breakdown of the result showed that the more educated, the more propensity to quit journalism and vice versa. Finally, expected rewards such as career advancement, finance, commendations, and passion for journalism are why TV camerapersons have continued to cover security issues despite the known risks involved.
这项研究调查了工作风险对工作表现的影响，以及576名在尼日利亚报道不安全局势的电视摄影师的辞职倾向。研究结果显示，工作风险对工作绩效有显著的主效应，F(2548) = 241.016, p =。平方，ηp2 =。468。此外，职业寿命显著影响工作风险与绩效的关系，F(1548) = 28.372, p = .001。尽管达到了统计学意义，但相关程度较低，ηp2 = 0.049。在电视摄影师中，工作风险与辞职倾向之间存在显著的统计关系。进一步分析结果显示，受教育程度越高，越倾向于退出新闻业，反之亦然。最后，预期的回报，如职业晋升、财务、表彰和对新闻的热情，是电视摄影师不顾已知风险继续报道安全问题的原因。

This study examines how social systems level variables may help shape broadcast journalists’ perceptions of the forces influencing their work. We combined Worlds of Journalism Study data with Hofstede's cultural orientations to consider how the levels of the hierarchical influences model may coalesce. In six analyses across four levels, culture was significantly correlated with perceived influences. Our findings support the belief the social systems level is the hegemonic level on which the other levels rest.

Podcasting is a well-established medium with a rapidly growing audience but no established ethical standards or professional practices across a wide variety of genres. Through a representative national survey of American internet users (n = 1,025), this research examined how much podcast listeners (n = 529) trust podcasts as a source of news and how they evaluate their journalistic merit. Podcast listeners trust podcasts less than most other sources of information, with the exception of online news and satirical news programs. And though listeners agree that podcasting is a form of journalism, a way to stay informed about news and current events, and a valuable source of information, they’re more skeptical of podcasts when comparing them to traditional news sources of information. Age is the only demographic category that predicts listening frequency.

The blurring of faces and masking of voices are common news production techniques, typically to conceal the identity of individuals providing information. However, little is known about the impact of these masking techniques on audience perceptions, especially in the context of organizational wrongdoing and public risk. Drawing from Exemplification Theory, the current study examined the effect of blurring and voice masking on risk perceptions, opinions of a culpable organization, and desire for additional information about the risk. Risk perceptions were greater when masking cues were applied, as were behavioral intention to avoid the risk in focus. These cues did not impact the perceptions of how widespread similar risks are, nor did they effect respondents’ perceptions of the organization responsible. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, along with the need for future research examining the use of and effects of identity masking on audience perceptions.

This is the first study in which the effects of viewing VR/360-degree video with and without a Cardboard device on news learning outcomes are examined. Cognitive load theory and the dual-coding hypothesis were adopted as the theoretical framework. An experiment was performed with 213 participants watching news clips. The findings show that the participants learned news information better from normal broadcast video or when they watched VR/360-degree video without a Cardboard device than when they watched VR/360-degree video with a Cardboard device. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

This study examines Twitter data collected by Netlytic building up to the 2018 midterm election date as well as one month after. We conducted a social network analysis and a semantic textual analysis of the data. Prior research on network discourse of Black Lives Matter, a social movement organically created from a hashtag on social media following the acquittal of Trayvon Martin's killer George Zimmerman, found Black victims of police brutality and systemic racism were victim blamed. This present study maps tweets, showing communication networks formed around Black Lives Matter and what the networks communicated. Through our analysis, eight distinct virtual community networks emerged.
