  • Global risk, domestic framing: coverage of the North Korean nuclear test by US, Chinese, and South Korean news agencies

    • Authors: Jia Dai; Kideuk Hyun (2010)

  • Comparative framing analysis on coverage of the North Korean nuclear test in the US Associated Press, Chinese Xinhua, and South Korean Yonhap news agencies identified four major media packages. First, a common ‘threat’ frame dominated coverage by all news agencies, represented by reconfiguration of geopolitics and an emphasis on global cooperation in both perception and resolution of the nuclear test. Second, with each nation positioning itself differently in the world power system, the issue was notably domesticated in the news, with Associated Press connecting the nuclear test to the broader ‘War on Terror’ framework found frequently in US media, Xinhua promoting a negotia-tion principle in handling the issue, and Yonhap framing the test with a ‘Cold War’ perspective. In all three...

  • Learning modernity: lifestyle advice television in Australia, Taiwan and Singapore

    • Authors: Tania Lewis; Fran Martin (2010)

  • This article examines the role of lifestyle advice television programming in Australia, Taiwan and Singapore. Lifestyle television in the Asia-Pacific region includes a range of ‘popular factual’ formats from cooking and health shows to reality-style make-over shows and consumer advice programmes. What unites these shows, from Singapore’s highly popular Home De´cor Survivor to Taiwan’s Lifestyle Experts and Australia’s Better Homes and Gardens is their concern with instructing their audiences in everyday life skills while showcasing the latest consumer products and services. In this article we argue that, in inducting ordinary viewers into the ‘art of living’ these increasingly ubiquitous forms of advice television are playing a significant role in shaping social identities, consu...

  • The influence of family viewing preferences on television consumption in the era of multichannel services

    • Authors: Francis L.F. Lee (2010)

  • It is widely argued that the rise of multichannel television services, together with other ‘new media,’ have led to a decline in family television viewing and the emergence of more individualized media culture within the household. This study, however, argues that family viewing can be treated as a variable shaping people’s use and evaluations of the medium. More specifically, the survey data analysis focuses on how individuals’ perceptions of family television viewing preferences influence their consumption and evaluation of both conventional mass broadcast television and multichannel television services in Hong Kong. The results show that consumption and evaluation of mass broadcast television relate positively to preference for family viewing and negatively to perceived family t...

  • Framing the population debate: a comparison of source and news frames in the Philippines

    • Authors: Clarissa C. David; Jenna Mae L. Atun; Antonio G.M. La Viña (2010)

  • This study compares frames constructed by two sides of the Philippine population management debate with media frames of the issue. Analysis was conducted through neural network analysis with the CatPac computer program. On the one hand, supporters of the policy use a ‘development frame’ which defines population as a problem borne out of people having large families; it is argued that unchecked population growth negatively impacts on development outcomes such as education and income. In the development frame, the proposed solution is to institute a population management policy that promotes family planning (contraceptive use) to help Filipinos achieve their desired family size. Opponents on the other hand use two frames, one which equates the policies with abortion, and another which...

  • An integrated model of parental mediation: the effect of family communication on children's perception of television reality and negative viewing effects

    • Authors: Seon-Kyoung An; Doohwang Lee (2010)

  • This study proposed and tested an integrated model of parental mediation involving family communication, parental mediation styles, children’s perceptions of televised realities and the actual world, and perceptions of the negative effects of television viewing. A total of 348 Korean adolescents participated in a nationwide survey. The findings demonstrated that parental, instructive media-tion, in combination with open family communication, increased not only children’s perceived disparity between televised realities and the actual world, but also children’s perceptions of the potentially negative effects of television. Restrictive parental mediation styles were also found to mediate the role of open family communication on children’s perception of negative effects of television. ...

  • Market uncertainty and mimetic isomorphism in the newspaper industry: a study of Taiwan's mainstream newspapers from 1992 to 2003

    • Authors: Shu-Chu Sarrina Li; Chen-Yi Lee (2010)

  • Mimetic isomorphic theory explains the process through which organizations in the same environment imitate each other’s actions to become more similar to each other. Adopting the theory, this study examined the content of Taiwan’s three major newspapers from 1992 to 2003 to investigate the relationship between market uncertainty and mimetic isomorphism. The data analysis shows that the uncertainty in Taiwan’s newspaper industry created an environment of mimetic isomorphism, and the findings are congruent with the predictions of mimetic isomorphic theory.

  • A comparative study on source credibility and use in multinational nuclear talks

    • Authors: Hyunjin Seo; Jeongsub Lim (2020)

  • This study examines US and South Korean journalists’ use of sources and their perceptions of source credibility in covering the six-party talks on North Korea’s nuclear ambitions. In particular, this study analyzes the relationship between journalists’ perceptions of source credibility and the media’s source use in terms of the aggregate and individual levels. Results of content analysis of US and South Korean newspapers are compared with data from a survey of US and South Korean journalists who covered the six-party nuclear talks. Government officials are dominant sources in media coverage of the talks because of their high level of accessibility and credibility. US and South Korean journalists assigned the greatest credibility to government officials of their own country. The two ...

  • Audience duplication and its determinants: a study in the multichannel and multiculture television market in Guangzhou, China

    • Authors: Elaine Yuan (2010)

  • This study examines audience duplication, the extent to which the audience of one program also watches the other, and its determinants. Using peoplemeter data from Guangzhou, a multichannel and multicultural television market in China, the study tests the intertwining effects of media structural factors and audience preference factors on audience duplication levels of program pairs. The results show significant effects of the two types of factors. A regression model was established in which these two types of factors together explained 59% of the total variance in audience duplication.
