Although advocacy and activism have been discussed in communication literature, are important in society, and often aid in organizational success, conceptual definitions and valid measurement of the concepts are lacking. By searching the literature, seeking two rounds of expert feedback, and employing two surveys (N = 1,300) for scale development, this study advances a new measurement model of behavior that may be useful for future research and practice. The findings support six distinct factors of behavioral advocacy and activism, three representing advocacy and three representing activism. The behaviors are communicative, collective, and combative in nature. Implications are discussed, along with suggestions for future research.

The text attaches great importance to scrutinize the dynamic process in which different social agents (regimes) with varying socioeconomic statuses articulate and negotiate their power on the Chinese internet. Then Yuan introduces us to various forms of internet sociality which is “fluid, porous, and interstitial, embodying the multi-layered complexity of contemporary communication.” These diverse discursive practices can not only help express and build the internet identities of social actors, but can also significantly reorganize the structure underlying those symbolic exchanges and social interactions. Yuan reiterates the important role that the internet plays in changing the contemporary China culturally, economically, and politically, while recognizing both macrodiscourses of power and authority, and micro-discursive practices of individuals and groups. Yuan argues that the Web of Meaning has provided us a more “pluralistic, open, relational” perspective of the contemporary public sphere on the Chinese internet. The conclusion recommends the field framework adopted in the book over the prominent public sphere theory for understanding the Chinese internet. Relatively, the last case of Alibaba seems to be a little weak when it was used to exemplify the perfect combination of two extraordinary developments in China: market economy and network technology in past 20 years due to lack of empirical evidence. The rise of Alibaba is indeed phenomenal as the largest e-commerce company in China. We suspect that the author has elevated the symbolic power of market economy and network technologies over that of the Chinese authoritarian government. The state-sanctioned capitalism can only flourish under the hegemony of the Chinese Communist Party. The more recent crackdown of Chinese internet companies including Alibaba and Didi demonstrated to the world who is actually in charge. Overall, this book has made significant contributions to the understanding of the social, cultural, and political implications of Chinese internet. It will be of great value to students and researchers in such fields as new media and the internet studies, critical cultural studies, cultural sociology, and media economics. Because of its focus on critical discourse and the sociology of practices, the book will also be of interest to the scholars of linguistics, semiotics, discourse analysis, and cultural sociology.

In this article, using two data sets, we examine whether place-based identity correlates with feelings toward journalists. Next, we examine whether the importance of a place-based identity moderates the relationship between place-based identity and feelings toward journalists. Finally, we examine the conditional indirect correlation between place-based identity and media use via feelings toward journalists, which may vary based on identity importance.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to inflict damage throughout the world, some minority groups are bearing a disproportionate share of its impacts. We concentrated on one such group, U.S.-dwelling Chinese, who have had to cope with challenges related to acculturation, health, safety, and racism. Recognizing that health information seeking was an essential step in helping maintain and improve health behaviors, we conducted a two-wave longitudinal study (N = 1,284) to examine the various factors predicting U.S.-dwelling Chinese's use of U.S. and Chinese media for COVID-19 information as well as the consequences of their information seeking. Overall, we found that acculturation, accuracy (i.e., information insufficiency) and defense (i.e., conspiratorial beliefs) motivations, trust in media, and perceived information gathering capacity played a key role in explaining information seeking from an intercultural viewpoint, and that the use of U.S. and Chinese media was associated with different health behaviors. These findings contribute to theory and practice in a variety of ways.

This study investigated how exposure to negative and misleading online comments about the COVID-19 vaccination persuasive messages and the ensuing corrective rebuttals of these comments affected people's attitudes and intentions regarding vaccination. An online experiment was performed with 344 adults in the United States. The results showed that rebuttals by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, rather than those by social media users, indirectly increased people's willingness to receive the vaccine by reducing their psychological reactance to persuasive messages and their belief in the misinformation contained in the comments. Rebuttals by social media users became more effective in reducing reactance when people initially had stronger pro-vaccination attitudes.

This article utilizes theoretical concepts of sensemaking and affective events theory to analyze and interpret what type of harassment events journalists experience from readers, viewers, and strangers, and their subsequent emotional responses. Findings indicated journalists experience three forms of harassment at work from those external to the newsroom, and that women not only receive more sexual harassment than men, but they experience more overall harassment, from viewers, readers, and strangers. When examining affective reactions, men say they experience emotions of anger when harassed. Women, however, noted emotions of anger when experiencing sexual harassment, and emotions of fear when experiencing incivility and disruptive harassment and personally attacking harassment.
