ABSTRACT This study critically explores discourses of hegemonic neoliberalism on the digital news show CNN 10, which is explicitly produced for student audiences and shown in classrooms to millions of young people. Drawing on theories of hegemony, neoliberalism, and positioning, analysis of 102 episode transcripts shows that CNN 10’s young audience is interpellated occasionally as students, rarely as citizens, and almost always as nascent workers, consumers, and investors, whose overriding concern about world events should orient toward efficient capitalist production and frictionless global commerce. The study’s main contribution is to foreground these proffered subject-positions, calling attention to the subtle hegemonic work produced through pedagogical news discourse and legitimated in classrooms.

ABSTRACT This study empirically examines tweets and Instagram posts that reference the hashtag #fakenews in connection to Canadian issues to understand the nature of the public’s political and multimodal discourses. Taken from larger datasets consisting of over 255,000 Instagram posts and over 14 million tweets, we used a mixed method, partly analyzing more than 4100 most retweeted messages and Instagram posts and manually categorizing them into seven topic types along with their political tone. Theoretically, we argue that the term fake news has lost its core meaning as it is appropriated by the social media public to communicate a variety of messages especially in relation to politics. The findings show that although there are differences between the two social media platforms, the majority of Instagram and Twitter topics that reference fake news are political in nature and anti-liberal in tone. Methodologically, the inclusion of multimodal analysis helps identify the sentiment and emotional aspects which are critical aspects for the spread of fake news and polarization on social media. Despite the different political contexts, our findings on Instagram and Twitter align with other studies that examined political polarization and the prevalence of conservative voices in the United States.

ABSTRACT We inquire into different perspectives and patterns of problematizing online hate speech within the social sciences from a systems-theoretical perspective. Our results identify five different research perspectives adopted by studies on the issue: (1) systematic perspectives on problems of operationalizing (online) hate speech; (2) intentionalist perspectives on actors and their motives; (3) consequentialist perspectives on victims of online hate speech; (4) perspectives on media affordances, infrastructures, and strategies of online hate speech; and finally, (5) normative perspectives on the consequences of online hate speech. Additionally, we want to propose a functionalist perspective on hate communication and, for this purpose, develop a systems-theoretical and media-sociological framework for analyzing online hate speech. A systems-theoretical perspective connects to a process-oriented paradigm of doing hate speech. Instead of asking what hate speech is, a systems-theoretical framework focuses on how different communicative contextures empirically produce different understandings of hate communication. We will make four research proposals: We will (1) conceptualize hate as hate communication, then proceed to (2) analyze different communicative contextures, (3) develop media archeology of negation and conflict communication, and finally (4) focus on the function of conflict and hate communication for the emergence of (counter-)publics.

ABSTRACT This study seeks to evaluate the current status of journalism and digital slow journalism and identify its future challenges. A Delphi method has been used, with international experts responding to a qualitative questionnaire. This methodological technique is used to analyze experts’ perceptions regarding one subject of study and detect future tendencies. In this particular case, an iterative process was conducted in two waves, with 28 professionals and academics from different continents (North America, South America, Europe and Australia), to stimulate a critical debate about digital slow journalism. The most prominent result of the study is that slow journalism is understood as more critical, contrasted and contextualized than fast journalism. The participants of the study believe there is a need for the truthful and quality information offered by slow journalism and narrative journalistic genres. Additionally, the findings indicate that the future of slow journalism involves the incorporation of new multimedia content and formats into its practice. This is particularly important if slow journalism is to be adapted to digital consumption demands. In this direction, future audience investigations will be key to offer readers better experiences and narrative styles.

ABSTRACT This study examines how the Chinese government has adopted authoritarian digital populism to justify its political programs through its official social media sub-accounts. Through discourse analysis, we investigate textual material concerning the “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) posted on a representative WeChat account, Xiakedao. We find Xiakedao performing digital populism through stylistic-emotional manipulation to portray the benefits of the BRI to China, BRI countries, and the world, or, put succinctly, to legitimize the BRI. Specifically, in 2014–2016, through mixing informal and formal language, Xiakedao based its legitimization on stirring up a sense of hegemonic superiority by painting it as a strategy capable of significantly advancing China’s interests. Since 2017, Xiakedao has shifted to emphasizing its massive global contribution to stimulate nationalist pride and exploiting a trauma complex to bestow a counter-hegemonic aura on it. Drawing on Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, we argue that Xiakedao has utilized the terms “China” and “BRI” as an empty signifier and a floating signifier, respectively. We unravel its discursive strategies of fixing their meanings and (re)drawing antagonistic frontiers to legitimize the BRI during different periods. The study contributes to theoretically understanding how an authoritarian state legitimizes the same political programs from disparate stances.
