This article analyzes Theodor W. Adorno’s critical arguments on popular music from a sociological perspective, and explores the reference and enlightenment of his arguments on the problems of current mass media. Both mass media and popular music belong to the “cultural industry”. It also has social characteristics of standardization, pseudo-individualization, entertainment and social cohesion. It lacks independent artistry and becomes an accomplice of capitalist ideology, causing the masses to lose their ability to think indepen-dently, and lose their spirit of resistance and criticism. This article aims to arouse people’s in-depth reflection on the phenomenon of current mass media, and hope that mainstream media will make good use of the “double-edged sword” of mass media, and play a lead role to create a clean mass cultural en-vironment, thereby promoting the positive development of mass media.

What drives the audience’s choice of media is one of the most studied topics in mass communication research. Both academia and field professionals benefit from the studies that cast light on this fundamental issue. However, there is a lack of attention to interdisciplinary approaches. The purpose of this study is to implement Media Richness Theory (MRT), rarely used in mass communication research to address the issues, which otherwise would remain unexplained since none of the existing mass communication theories combine factors such as a crisis situation, visual richness of media content and media choice of audience simultaneously. Findings of multivariate analysis of variances applied to survey data from the European Social Survey support the researchers’ hypotheses that during the political and economic crisis in Greece, the assumptions of MRT explained the changes in audience’s behavior towards a decrease in visually “lean” in favor of using visually “rich” media.

In this study, we examine how and the degree to which Experiential Media (EM) are utilized to promote travel, sports, and, more broadly, cultural tourism in EM contents produced in the buildup to the 22nd FIFA World Cup to be hosted by Qatar in 2022, the first Arab nation to host the World Cup. Three YouTube channels were considered for this study, namely: Road To 2022, Al Jazeera Contrast, and Qatar Airways. Using a virtual reality head-mounted display and the model of EM framework, we found that all of the nine productions featured limited use of the six qualities of EM. We identified three broad thematic categories: 1) FIFA stadium and travel, 2) use of cutting-edge technology, and 3) Qatar’s history and traditions, and many sub-themes pertaining to travel, lifestyle, and more. We provide practical and managerial implications of EM contents for the tourism industry, sports tourism, and destination marketing.
在这项研究中，我们研究了体验媒体(EM)如何以及在多大程度上被用来促进旅游、体育，以及更广泛地说，在2022年第22届FIFA世界杯(第一个举办世界杯的阿拉伯国家)由卡塔尔主办的筹备过程中产生的EM内容中的文化旅游。本研究考虑了三个YouTube频道，即:Road To 2022, Al Jazeera Contrast和卡塔尔航空公司。使用虚拟现实头戴式显示器和EM框架模型，我们发现所有九种产品都有限地使用了EM的六种品质。我们确定了三个广泛的主题类别:1)国际足联体育场和旅行，2)使用尖端技术，3)卡塔尔的历史和传统，以及与旅行，生活方式等相关的许多子主题。我们为旅游业、体育旅游和目的地营销提供新兴市场内容的实践和管理意义。

This study explored how news outlets, China Daily (CD), Cable News Network (CNN), and Daily Mail (DM) have reported the COVID-19 pandemic. Mainstream media is a credible communication path to guide public attention on COVID-19. Computational text analysis contributes to understanding media activities about the pandemic and promotes health information communication. The word frequency statistics and lexical diversity highlighted how pandemic reports changed in the early outbreak. A cluster analysis illustrated the frequency and semantic relationship between the highly frequent words from CD, CNN, and DM reports. Sentiment analysis was based on natural language processing when analyzing the sentiment of all headlines and the sentiment of the different words in the headlines. This study also discussed similarities and differences in the coverage by the three different media outlets at various stages of the outbreak. Three media reported comprehensive coverage of the pandemic. Since they are based in different countries, their focus and the numbers of reports are different at different stages. The richness of the vocabulary and the degree of emotion are related to their media attributes. These results can help health departments exchange information, guide accurate public awareness, and eliminate public fears regarding misconceptions about the pandemic.
