ABSTRACT This study explores the connections between partisan news exposure, affective political polarization, perceived threats from migrants, and immigrant deservingness. Data from a 2018 U.S. national survey indicate that exposure to immigration news on Fox News is associated with higher levels of polarization among Republicans and Democrats, while exposure to such content on CNN is not. Additionally, greater polarization correlates with Republicans perceiving more threats from migrants, while Democrats perceive fewer. Finally, Republicans with higher levels of polarization are more likely than polarized Democrats to believe that migrants should have specific qualifications to be considered deserving.

ABSTRACT Previous research suggests that, compared to regular news, satirical news has its own frame repertoire, which differs by outlet characteristics (e.g. medium type, political leaning). We analyzed two large corpora of satirical and regular news: television show episodes (8,925,180 words) and online written articles (64,301,669 words) of liberal and conservative outlets for character, emotional, and moral framing. Contrary to expectations, findings revealed consistent framing differences between the satirical and regular news genres, which were not moderated by medium type or political leaning. Thereby, this study shows how genre-level frame repertoires can offer deeper insights into cross-genre differences in news coverage.

ABSTRACT This study segmented digital news users according to their engagement with news personalization services. A national survey of 1,369 randomly selected digital news users was conducted. Three groups were identified through latent class analysis: Optimizers, Mainstreamers, and Skeptics. Optimizers had the most favorable attitude toward the services and the highest perceived contingency of news personalization. Skeptics showed the least favorable attitude and had the lowest perceived contingency. Optimizers were the most active consumers of digital news platforms, whereas skeptics were lagging in using digital news services. The study discussed the differences between these groups and their implications on news organizations.

ABSTRACT The current study uses national Nielsen ratings data for the five English-language broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, the CW, Fox and NBC) from the 2014, 2015 and 2016 television seasons to build on the more than 50 years of television audience scholarship by examining whether the factors traditionally found to impact primetime entertainment TV program ratings continue to do so in today’s media environment. The relationship between audience availability and program ratings followed traditional patterns. Importantly, the study found a heavy reliance on marquee events and special episodes of popular series to boost ratings at the expense of schedule predictability.

ABSTRACT Conspiracy beliefs are commonly seen during times of uncertainty. This study examined whether a chatbot offering counter-conspiracy information can mitigate conspiracy beliefs and the role of chatbot empathy on its effectiveness. We conducted an online experiment in two different contexts (climate change vs. Covid-19) (N = 189). The results showed that as for Covid-19, participants who interacted with the chatbot with less empathetic expressions showed fewer changes in conspiracy beliefs than those who read the scientific news article. Regarding climate change, a chatbot with more empathetic expressions was more effective in changing conspiracy beliefs than an article, but only for people who can tolerate ambiguity.

ABSTRACT The neutrality norm, journalists’ ability to remove their opinions and emotions from coverage, is typically studied linguistically, not nonverbal communication, how something is said. More understanding is needed on how journalists maintain professional nonverbal neutrality norms during crises. Utilizing qualitative interviews with journalists analyzed through the lens of the needs of meaning framework, this study shows journalists are continually negotiating nonverbal neutrality boundaries. Results suggest journalists are not fully aware of nonverbal behaviors’ impact on overall neutrality, trained in controlling nonverbal behaviors, nor receiving coping support. Suggestions for individual and organizational practices are provided.

ABSTRACT This paper investigates how parasocial phenomena can improve community strength on the livestreaming site Twitch, adding to existing research that has shown viewers who engage in parasocial interactions and/or relationships with Twitch livestreamers experience a variety of positive effects. A survey of Twitch viewers shows that feelings of PSI and PSR are positively associated with a beneficial sense of community. A second, experimental study suggests that livestreamers can engender communal feelings by encouraging parasociality with their audience. These studies suggest that parasocial phenomenon may be key not only to viewer experience but also to the viewer’s sense of community.
