ABSTRACT Intra- and inter-group dynamics involving local identity have rarely been examined in media contexts. Drawing on Media System Dependency and Social Identity Perspectives, we examine the information power of localized social media (LSM) during post-earthquake disaster. The quake-affected city, Pohang in South Korea, is relatively small-sized and geographically peripheral compared to the Seoul metropolitan area. We conducted an online survey with 530 female members of Pohang Mom Noriteo, the largest Pohang-based LSM platform, which represents a high-entitativity online group. Results indicate that uncertain local identity resulting from the earthquake predicted the strengthened relation with the LSM. Notably, strong local identifiers with heightened risk perception reported a substantially reduced negative perception of Seoul-based mainstream media coverage of the earthquakes. We discuss these findings in light of the unique group status of the city, which was jeopardized by the disaster, and the essential role of mainstream media during post-disaster periods.

Exclusionist positions on immigration have become a key component of right-wing ideology in most countries around the world. Combining group threat and news values theory, this study sheds light on the emergence of right-wing discourses on immigration based on one of Germany’s most influential right-wing print outlets. I employ supervised and unsupervised machine-learning methods on almost 54,000 articles published between 1998 and 2019 to test whether real-world conditions shape immigration news. Results show that reporting on immigration generally increased over time and peaked during the refugee inflow in 2015/16. Immigration numbers, foreigner crime rates, and Jihadist terror attacks predict the salience of the immigration issue in the overall news as well as discursive shifts within immigration news. During times of high immigration, articles were more likely to address topics related to deportation and closing borders or the criminalization of immigration. Terrorism was more present in immigration news after attacks, especially after attacks in Germany. Foreigner crime did not significantly increase reporting on crime in immigration news. In short, right-wing immigration discourses seem responsive to real-world developments and events that enable exclusionary rhetoric and a threatening portrayal of immigrants.

ABSTRACT While media representations of female athletes in lean sports often lead to negative body image perceptions in female audiences, media images depicting athletes playing sports may generate positive responses with respect to body image. Derived from the two lines of scholarship in sports media effects, this between-subjects, online experiment tests the effects of viewing images of female athletes playing lean sports (gymnastics, diving, artistic swimming, figure skating, and cheerleading). Results showed that female viewers (N = 625) engaged in greater appearance social comparison after viewing the images of female athletes playing lean sports (versus the control images), which in turn, was positively associated with their body satisfaction. Different levels of thinness and muscularity of female athletes in the media images did not significantly affect female viewers’ appearance social comparison or body satisfaction. Notably, post hoc analyses revealed several different findings across three age groups of women audiences (young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults). Overall, this study sheds light on the positive impact of appearance social comparison after viewing lean sports. Furthermore, the findings indicate the importance of focusing on athlete performance in media practice in relation to lean sports.
