This study aims to explore the successful experiences in the portrayal and dissemination of the handicraft culture within Yunnan ethnic minority documentaries. Through exquisite visual presentations and the stories of artisans, Yunnan ethnic minority documentaries have sparked vigorous discussions on social media, played a significant role, and positively impacted the lives of many artisans. The research employs focus group methodology as the primary measurement approach, gathering materials through interactive discussions among group members. The study's findings reveal the impact of imagery narratives on the dissemination of Yunnan ethnic minority culture, emphasizing the importance of visual representation in enhancing people's understanding of traditional artisans and preserving their heritage. An authentic presentation of intangible cultural heritage maximizes public attention towards Yunnan ethnic minority artisans. Through this research, we gain in-depth insights into the successful portrayal and dissemination of handicraft culture within Yunnan ethnic minority documentaries, offering references and insights for the further enhancement of handicraft culture dissemination and preservation.

During the last century, social movement organizations have mobilized around what role religion should play in school. These struggles have focused on teaching creationism and evolution in the science classroom and the appropriateness of school prayer and Bible reading in public schools. Court cases like Scopes and Engel are infamous in American history, while others are much less well-known. This project explores media coverage of social movements that do not engage in typical protest activity and instead choose to operate in more institutional contexts. This paper will begin by presenting the coverage patterns of each movement across the twentieth century, illustrating how the media's focus is primarily influenced by movements either initiating legal action, being compelled to appear in court, or reacting to judicial proceedings. Next, it will present a typology of coverage that these legal-based movements received. A movement's legal framing is carried in and through the media, and sometimes, the framing is all that is reflected in media attention, making this type of reporting so attractive to movement organizations. The legal constraints over framing and legitimate actors account for some of the media exposure, which was likely to be equitable in tone and quantity to both the creationism and school prayer movements. To understand media coverage of social movements, scholars must begin to account for the cycles and patterns of coverage likely to occur when a movement ends up in court.

This study aims to find out textual function including the types, progression, and markednes in The Jakarta Post Newspaper on the Covid-19 Outbreak in order to identify how the information in the clause goes on and gives a significant contribution to keeping the text coherent. The texts were analyzed by applying the theory of textual Metafunction proposed by Halliday and Matthiessen (2014). This study used a qualitative approach by using the content analysis. The result of this study shows topical, textual, and interpersonal Themes were found. Moreover, Topical Theme has the highest occurrences (77,3%), followed by the Textual Theme (21,5%), and Interpersonal Theme (1,2%). Regarding to the occurrences of the Theme Markedness, Unmarked Topical Theme (UMT) has higher occurrences with 91,5% than Marked Topical Theme (MT) with 8,5%. Meanwhile, the Thematic progression analysis shows that the Linear pattern has the highest occurrences with 55,8%, followed by a Constant Pattern with 36,4%, then a Split-Rheme pattern with 5,2%, and the Derived Theme as the lowest occurrences with 2,6%. The highest occurrences of unmarked Topical theme and Linear patterns give that both of them play an important role in creating continuity clauses of the newspaper.

This paper focuses on the role of social media in guiding the socialization of celebrity fans through qualitative research. Specifically, we explore fans’ choices of social media platforms and the navigating role of fan communities on fans’ personal identity, group identity and emotional labor. Through the analysis of social media platforms as well as in-depth interviews with fans, we find that the various features and functions of social media platforms have different impacts on the socialization of fans in China. At the same time, fan communities can also provide a place for fans to communicate and identify with each other, promote interaction and emotional exchange among them, and enhance the sense of belonging and pride. These findings have important theoretical and practical implications for understanding the role of social media in guiding the socialization of celebrity fans.

Artificial intelligence has started to expand in journalism, especially in advanced news organisations. It is evident that journalists are beginning to realise the importance of AI and that it will be a partner to human journalists in their work inside newsrooms. Despite the numerous benefits that AI contributes to journalism, several challenges hinder the expansion and spread of its adoption among journalists. The ethical challenges of AI systems have become a concern among journalists. Therefore, this research is guided by the relationship between technological development and media ethics as the philosophical study of morality, specifically the Social Responsibility Theory. This study adopts a qualitative approach to explore the ethical challenges of AI faced by journalists. In-depth interviews were conducted with 14 journalists working in the newsroom of a government-affiliated channel, Al Mamlaka TV in Jordan. Data obtained from interviews conducted were analysed thematically. The results concluded that the main ethical challenges faced by journalists in the newsroom in adopting AI are data bias; privacy violations; and the absence of legislation and international regulations regarding the use of AI in journalism. The study concludes that journalists at Al Mamlaka TV adhere to the basics of Social Responsibility Theory through their critical adoption of AI in the newsroom.
人工智能已开始在新闻业,尤其是先进的新闻机构中得到推广。很明显,记者们开始意识到人工智能的重要性,人工智能将成为人类记者在新闻编辑室工作的伙伴。尽管人工智能为新闻业带来了诸多益处,但仍有一些挑战阻碍着人工智能在新闻工作者中的推广和普及。人工智能系统的伦理挑战已成为记者们关注的问题。因此,本研究以技术发展与作为道德哲学研究的媒体伦理之间的关系为指导,特别是社会责任理论。本研究采用定性方法探讨新闻记者面临的人工智能伦理挑战。研究人员对在约旦政府下属频道 Al Mamlaka 电视台新闻编辑室工作的 14 名记者进行了深入访谈。对访谈获得的数据进行了专题分析。结果得出结论,新闻编辑室的记者在采用人工智能时面临的主要道德挑战是数据偏见、侵犯隐私以及缺乏有关在新闻业使用人工智能的立法和国际法规。研究得出结论,Al Mamlaka 电视台的记者通过在新闻编辑室批判性地采用人工智能,坚持了社会责任理论的基本原则。

Social media holds enormous power in directing the flow of health information during a health crisis and can tap into the individual and collective consciousness to make behavioural improvements. Being the third country with the highest number of COVID-19 cases reported worldwide, the magnitude of the pandemic was immense in the Indian context; timely health communications that prompt individuals to adopt preventive measures were crucial in the process of risk control. This systematic review consolidated evidence on the effect of COVID-related social media communications on the development of protective behaviours among the Indian population. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar and CINAHL yielded 11 studies highlighting six themes related to social media and protective behaviours. The themes associated with the positive impact of social media include catalysing awareness, shaping psychological responses and perceptions at an individual level, behavioural changes at a community level and social media as the most influential media source for behavioural improvements. The negative effects comprise misinformation and disparities that emerge from social media health communications.
