  • A Victory of the Internet over Mass Media? Examining the Effects of Online Media on Political Attitudes in South Korea

    • Authors: Daekyung Kim; Thomas J. Johnson (2006)

  • This study employed an online survey of 249 politically interested Internet users during the 2004 national Assembly election in South Korea to examine if reliance on online news media for political news and information influences political attitudes after controlling for demographics and use of the traditional media. Reliance on independent Web-based newspapers appeared to be a stronger predictor than traditional media and their online counterparts. Based on the findings, a media power shift in Korea was discussed.

  • Development Communication in the Agricultural Context (1971, with a new foreword)

    • Authors: Nora Cruz Quebral (2006)

  • The thinking behind this article jelled in that period before the 1970s when the modernization theory of development still ruled but had lost some of its luster. ‘Communication’ then was a word used mostly by academics to connote media systems or the mass media, also known familiarly as ‘the press’. With its perceived capability to directly affect large, passive audiences, communication for development was expected to diffuse from elite sources information to raise expectations, unify diverse groups; and persuade people to shed traditional attitudes, learn new skills, and adopt technological innovations. But in developing Asia and Latin America, native experience was not in sync with conventional wisdom. This article may be viewed as part of the tentative groping at that time for m...

  • Framing Analysis of a Conflict: How Newspapers in Five Asian Countries Covered the Iraq War

    • Authors: Crispin C. Maslog; Seow Ting Lee; Hun Shik Kim (2006)

  • This five-country study examined the extent to which the news coverage of the Iraq war by newspapers from India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and the Philippines and by one news agency from Pakistan is framed according to the principles of war/peace journalism outlined by Johan Galtung. The findings, based on a content analysis of 442 stories from eight newspapers, suggest a slight peace journalism framing. Two important factors shaping the news framing of the conflict and support for the war and for the protagonists in the war (Americans/British vs. Iraqis) are religion and sourcing. Newspapers from the non-Muslim countries, except the Philippines, have a stronger war journalism framing, and are more supportive of the war and of the Americans/British than the newspapers from the Muslim co...

  • Manifesto for Development Communication: Nora Quebral and the Los Banos School of Development Communication

    • Authors: Linje Manyozo (2006)

  • How did the discipline and practice of development communication begin? Who were the founders and how were the first experiments implemented? Rejecting the ideologically populist views that locates development communication origins within western development scholarship, the following postcolonist expose´ appraises various commu-nication uses in development that emerged from different parts of the world in the past 50 years. The discussion holds that the pioneering development communication experiments were located between postcolonial and underdevelopment theories, and as such, to understand its origins, a study must focus on the earliest non-commissioned and community-originated experiments, as this study purports to do.

  • News and Ideological Exegesis in Chinese Online Media: A Case Study of Crime Coverage and Reader Discussion on Two Commercial Portals

    • Authors: Li Xiao; Judy Polumbaum (2006)

  • Analyzing news stories, commentaries, and readers’ discussions of a sensational serial murder case on China’s two most popular commercial online portals, this study examines how the Internet’s medium-specific characteristics of unlimited space and interactivity facilitate both reinforcement and challenges to dominant ideologies of crime coverage. The study finds that news accounts on the two portals, Sina.com and Sohu.com, to a large degree favored the interests of the powerful over the powerless, excusing the inefficiency of the police and portraying causes of crime as individual; while readers contributing to online forums on the case voiced concern about social issues underlying crime, expressed standpoints of the poor and underprivileged, and questioned the authority and intent...
