ABSTRACTElection debates are key campaign events that allow citizens to compare politicians’ issue positions side-by-side. While debate moderators try to keep candidates on-topic to contrast issue positions, candidates can try to shift the debate to off-topic issues instead. Election debates thus provide a unique setting to study candidates’ issue emphasis. In this context, we study: who veers off-topic, on which issues, and when? Our theory-driven quantitative content analysis of 24 Belgian election debates (1985–2019) shows that different candidates are equally likely to veer off-topic, but when they do, they emphasize their party’s core issues and follow previous off-topic speaking turns.

ABSTRACTAlthough radio still holds a high status among everyday media users in German society, there has been a clear downward trend in the usage of mainstream pop radios in recent years. In this essay, we highlight six central problems of current linear mainstream music radio and present possible solutions for creating more attractive and contemporary programs. In sum, we argue for greater inclusion of music editors’ creativity and experience, which is connected to the conscious downgrading of music-based market research, and for a stronger harmonization and curation of at least parts of the program by editors and moderators.KEYWORDS: radiomusicprogrammingformattingmarket research Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The article focuses on the radio formats with a wide reach and that target a broad mainstream audience. There is, of course, a multitude of other popular formats with a partly specialized musical orientation (which are presented in an overview by Schramm (Citation2019b), for example) or the country radio and college radio stations that are especially popular in the US (on the music composition of the latter, see, for example, Desztich & McClung, Citation2007; Wall, Citation2007).2 Titles for music-based market research are chosen by music editors using different sources, amongst others by their own evaluation, the back catalog of the radio station or the airplay charts (for a full overview, ordered by importance of source, see Schramm & Mayer, Citation2023, p. 123).3 Although the suitability of Christmas songs in December may not be worth testing, the issue of appropriate songs to evoke emotions in spring or autumn, for instance, is worth addressing.Additional informationNotes on contributorsHolger SchrammHolger Schramm (Ph.D., Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media) is a professor of communication at the University of Wuerzburg, Germany.

ABSTRACTThis study argues that Al Jazeera represents a shift in the media production of nonwestern audiences, allowing new identities to emerge. However, it also cautions that this new space should not be valorized yet, as there might be other ideological underpinnings that shape this new flow. The study concludes that western universalism continues to shape the production of culture in the Global South, thereby altering the cultural realities of the people. Disclosure statementThis paper does not have any relevant financial or non-financial competing interests associated with it.Additional informationNotes on contributorsOlolade AfolabiDr. Afolabi is a scholar-teacher of media studies with specialties in international communication, global /transnational media, critical cultural studies, and African women studies.

ABSTRACTThe inaccessibility of ChatGPT to Chinese users has fueled public conspiracy theories surrounding the technology. We conducted a critical discourse analysis of 1,576 relevant Weibo posts to identify these conspiracy theories and the sociocultural and political factors at play. Our findings reveal four major themes, including a profound distrust of foreign high technology, nationalist fervor, disconcerting allegations of AI development, and sensational assertions of government manipulation of the fertility rate. More importantly, we observe that the escalation of nationalist sentiments in the online sphere exacerbates the spread of conspiracy theories, reflecting public concerns about the country’s technological progress and global reputation.

ABSTRACTPrevious research has linked lifetime media use with intergroup prejudice. Our studies extend previous findings by linking current intergroup prejudice (race, social class) with retrospectively reported media use in specific life stages (childhood, adolescence, adulthood). Across two surveys (n = 293; n = 369), we found childhood social media use, but not adolescence or adulthood social media use, significantly predicted participants’ current prejudicial attitudes toward Black individuals and low-income individuals, mediated through social dominance orientation. Additionally, overall lifetime social media use was associated with positive and negative racial attitudes through social dominance orientation. However, findings with lifetime TV use were mixed. Neither of indirect effects between overall lifetime TV use, social dominance orientation, and racial attitudes (or income egalitarianism) was statistically significant. Further, neither of these indirect effects with TV use in specific life stages was significant. Overall, the present findings call for attention on contemporary media in addition to traditional media in cultivation research. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Cronbach α is not available for this measure as it is a weighted index.2 The same weighing formula was used as in Riddle (Citation2010).3 Study 1 participants were excluded from the recruitment pool for Study 2.4 These latter two models are saturated models and by definition have perfect global model fit.Additional informationNotes on contributorsShay Xuejing YaoDr. Shay Yao is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication at Georgia State University who studies media psychology and health communication.Nikki McClaranDr. Nikki McClaran is an assistant professor in the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University who studies how and why media impact health beliefs and behaviors.Morgan E.

ABSTRACTResearch has established the important role of incidental exposure in facilitating political learning, participation, as well as attitude polarization. Extending this line of work to public health crisis contexts, this study examines how pro-attitudinal and counter-attitudinal incidental exposures predict individuals’ expressive behaviors on social media and messaging apps (e.g. WhatsApp and LINE), and the subsequent coping outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Analysis of an online survey in Taiwan showed that incidental exposure was related to expressive behaviors on social media and LINE, which in turn predicted coping outcomes, regardless of whether the information affirmed or undermined individuals’ opinions. However, the relationships between pro-attitudinal but not counter-attitudinal incidental exposure and expressive behaviors varied by perceived network homogeneity both on social media and LINE.
