ABSTRACT Media ownership and diversity have been areas of concern for the U.S.’ Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for decades. In this study, the effects of ownership type and network affiliation upon ethnic and racial diversity within U.S. television newsrooms were explored. An exploratory content analysis of local television stations (N = 232) was undertaken to compare the diversity levels of on-air personnel for stations that were network owned-and-operated, as well as stations involved in Shared Services Agreements (SSAs). Findings reveal some significant positive effects for network owned-and-operated stations, but none for SSA-attached stations. Network affiliate status also did not play a significant role.

ABSTRACT Venture capital funding is an increasingly common yet understudied management model in the rapidly changing market of news media. Drawing on scholarship in media management and entrepreneurship, this study applies a community ecology framework to analyze the relationship between venture capital funding and digital news media firms. In doing so, this work explores the interaction between legacy news media firms and new entrants as they struggle for scarce resources and seek to grow in the face of rapid change. A dataset tracking funding activity of legacy and startup news media firms is used to analyze resource allocation within the digital news media ecosystem. Results of the analyses provide insights for news media management by furthering understanding regarding venture capital funding models and the generative mechanisms that help drive growth. Specifically, findings highlight the importance of cross-sector engagement and the tension between firm age and position for growth in the digital news media ecosystem.

ABSTRACT This article analyzes what the audience understands by the concept of quality as applied to television channels. This research also examines the influence of the perceived quality of the different programs broadcasted by a channel on the perceived quality of the whole channel. The empirical part is based on the answers provided by a sample of 405 respondents in Spain. The factors found to be associated with the idea of quality television by the audience are somewhat different depending on the method used to assess it, which points to the existence of social desirability bias when asking directly about it. Notwithstanding these differences, entertainment is the characteristic that the audience most consistently associates with the concept of quality in television channels. The results also show that news programs, movies and magazines, and talk shows are the genres with a greatest influence on the assessment of the quality of a television channel by the audience.

ABSTRACT This survey of 524 U.S. journalists explores how journalists perceive transparency, an emerging professional knowledge base, ethical value and set of practices, has been managed as a normative innovation. The study follows the recent addition of transparency to the ethics codes of two leading U.S. professional journalism associations: Society of Professional Journalists and Radio Television Digital News Association. The study includes a broad sampling of journalists working for both legacy and online media outlets, and explores the relationship between how journalists perceive transparency has been managed and the extent to which journalists practice transparency in their work. Results indicate journalists perceive transparency has not been a management priority, and how transparency is managed has a significant effect on the extent it is practiced. These results are consistent across media types, coverage areas, demographics and extent of professional experience. The data provide evidence that if the potential of transparency as a digital-age journalistic tool is to be realized, news managers must take a more active role in its development as professional knowledge, a newsroom norm and set of practices.

ABSTRACT Declining advertising revenue and print copy sales have propelled extensive paywall experiments in local newspapers to generate new revenue and fund local journalism. The success of these experiments is ultimately depending on whether or not they deliver the value that customers require. This article studies local newspapers’ potential to build successful paywalls by conducting a two-sided analysis of paywall value propositions and local news audiences’ responses to these value propositions. Drawing on mixed methods – in-depth interviews with 20 newspaper managers and a national survey (N = 1586) among local newspaper audiences – our study identifies a major gap between intended value of paywalls and customer value perception and behavior. These are misalignments between the intended attractiveness of paywalled content and audience attitude toward this content, and misalignments between access to paywalled content and use. Local newspapers’ offerings are particularly misaligned with younger, lower income and lower news interest customers. When these groups hit a paywall, they most likely bounce off.

ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been a trend toward “cord-cutting” by media consumers. Cord-cutting is the abandonment of paid subscription television in favor of video-streaming services. This research examines the phenomenon and proposes a framework for understanding its drivers based on two well-worn consumer behavior models: (1) consumer adoption and (2) self-efficacy. The framework proposes that cord-cutting is driven by the three needs of mobility, value, and autonomy, plus demographics. Totally, 14 hypotheses are tested, eight of which are accepted. Finally, media consumers are divided into four broad categories based on age and need for autonomy: Beautiful Streamers, Either/Ors, Both Worlds, and Cable Cabal.

ABSTRACT Empirical studies from a variety of fields suggest that perceptions of the same stimuli can vary across gender, race/ethnicity, political ideology, or other demographic dimensions. This may also be the case for perceptions of media brands, but no systematic examination of demographic differences in perceptions of media brand personality across multiple media formats has previously been undertaken, in spite of potential ramifications in the context of targeted brand advertising. The present study applies multilevel regression models to personality ratings of 100 TV show, movie, video game, pop music, and news outlet brands (N = 4,967), examining how individual-level demographic factors are associated with differing perceptions of brand personality across the dimensions of Aggression, Heroism, and Warmth. Significant ideology, gender, race/ethnicity, and familiarity effects are observed, with the results carrying relevance regarding the development of targeted and tailored messages to maximize brand-self congruence and associated effects on behavioral and attitudinal outcomes.
