Castells"}],"abstract":"We live in the midst of a revolution in communication technologies that affects the way in which people feel, think, and behave. The mass media (including web-based media), Manuel Castells argues, has become the space where political and business power strategies are played out; power now lies in the hands of those who understand or control communication. Over the last thirty years, Castells has emerged as one of the world's leading communications theorists. In this, his most far-reaching book for a decade, he explores the nature of power itself, in the new communications environment. His vision encompasses business, media, neuroscience, technology, and, above all, politics. His case histories include global media deregulation, the misinformation that surrounded the invasion of Iraq, environmental movements, the role of the internet in the Obama presidential campaign, and media control in Russia and China. In the new network society of instant messaging, social networking, and blogging--\"mass self-communication\"--politics is fundamentally media politics. This fact is behind a worldwide crisis of political legitimacy that challenges the meaning of democracy in much of the world. Deeply researched, far-reaching in scope, and incisively argued, this is a book for anyone who wants to understand the dynamics and character of the modern world. \"How could Manuel Castells have predicted that now is the time of the perfect storm? I do not know. But I do know that his new book coincides with the largest downturn in global economies since the 1930s, with the most important American election since the 1960s, with a most radical transformation of world politics in many generations, and with the most profound reevaluation of the lives of modern citizens, from what they value to how they communicate. We have become used to Castells' careful scholarship and penetrating analyses but in this new book he cuts deeper into the heart of the matter. Sometimes he provides illuminating answers and where he cannot, he frames the questions that must be answered. This is a powerful and much needed book for a world in crisis.\"--Antonio Damasio \"Manuel Castells unites the mind of a social scientist with the soul of an artist. His trilogy took us to the edge of the millennium. This book takes us beyond to the critical crossroads of the 21st century, where technology, communication, and power converge.\"--Rosalind Williams, Director, Program on Science, Technology and Society, MIT","source":"Semantic Scholar","year":2009,"language":"en","subjects":["Political Science"],"doi":"10.5860/choice.48-0090","url":"https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/e030433a720c7894fd072f7e2718a6d9fc7f11fb","is_open_access":true,"citations":1376,"published_at":"","score":83},{"id":"ss_92f031a0130721cf3e75df7c198f7ceae4eab98a","title":"Agenda setting function of mass media","authors":[{"name":"M.

Led by Maxwell McCombs, the author of this article, communication researchers have discovered a logical and more realistic effect of media: While the media do not tell people what to think, they tell people what to think about. That is, the media determine which issues—and which organizations—will be put on the public agenda for discussion.

While prior work has examined these actors in isolation, their interplay in shaping science communication remains poorly understood. Using the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study, we analyze 1.24M tweets and 211k news articles that reference pandemic-related scientific papers. We find that the most influential Twitter accounts in this discourse are predominantly individuals with medical or research credentials. However, we also identify a coordinated network that disproportionately amplifies a small set of prominent credentialed experts who advance contrarian, anti-consensus positions on vaccines, lockdowns, and related topics. The papers promoted by these influential actors substantially overlap with those covered by news media, but with key differences: pro-consensus experts primarily engage with studies featured by mainstream and medical outlets, whereas contrarian experts align more closely with papers promoted by low-quality, pseudoscientific, or conspiratorial sources. Notably, news outlets tend to report on scientific studies after they have been highlighted by social media superspreaders. Together, these findings reveal multi-level pathways of information flow and coordinated amplification structures that shape science communication across social media and news, offering new insights into the dynamics of the broader information ecosystem.","source":"arXiv","year":2026,"language":"en","subjects":["cs.SI","cs.CY"],"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.17249","pdf_url":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.17249","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"2026-03-18T01:08:20Z","score":70},{"id":"doaj_10.4467/22996362PZ.25.040.22223","title":"\n                        Sprawozdanie z XVI ogólnopolskiej konferencji naukowej z cyklu „Współczesne Media”.

In conclusion, communication is a complex process with significant implications for society and politics. The role of mass media, whether through the commercial model or the public sphere model, is crucial in shaping public opinion and facilitating democratic engagement.

The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the interaction between media and public relations in crisis situations. This study used a qualitative methodology utilizing in-depth interviews with public relations professionals who have direct experience in crisis management. Research has shown that media can be a powerful tool for crisis communication. Using traditional media such as television, radio, and print media can be effective in reaching a large audience quickly. Online media, such as social media and blogs, can also be effective, especially when targeted to specific audiences and interacting with them in real time. The study also confirmed the importance of a proactive and transparent approach to crisis communication, including developing relationships with the media before a crisis occurs. Building trust with journalists would help communications teams provide accurate and timely information during a crisis, minimizing the potential for misunderstanding or misinformation. Overall, this study highlights the critical role of the media in communicating crisis situations to the public and the importance of effective media management to achieve successful outcomes.

This class of channels that falls in the transitional region between the narrowband and broadband channels, in many ways, is unique and shows significant potential. For instance, the effect of a highly unfavourable non-line-of-sight (NLoS) propagation environment can be transformed into a significantly favourable condition without making any intervention on the original propagation environment, but by simply communicating in the mediumband. The more unfavourable a propagation environment for wireless communication, the higher the potential gain by communicating in the mediumband. In this paper, using lay language as much as possible, we elaborate the unique properties of mediumband channels and implications of communicating in the mediumband for wider wireless communication along with some future research directions.","source":"arXiv","year":2024,"language":"en","subjects":["cs.IT","eess.SP"],"doi":"10.1109/MCOM.001.2400050","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.00512","pdf_url":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.00512","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"2024-08-31T17:39:58Z","score":68},{"id":"arxiv_2406.13820","title":"Framing Social Movements on Social Media: Unpacking Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Motivational Strategies","authors":[{"name":"Julia Mendelsohn"},{"name":"Maya Vijan"},{"name":"Dallas Card"},{"name":"Ceren Budak"}],"abstract":"Social media enables activists to directly communicate with the public and provides a space for movement leaders, participants, bystanders, and opponents to collectively construct and contest narratives.

A prominent feature among children with DLD is their struggle with phonological processing, a pivotal skill for later reading proficiency. Recent research suggests that children with DLD may also exhibit impairments in various non-linguistic cognitive abilities, including memory, attention, and perception. Of particular importance is visual attention, which plays a critical role in integrating visual perceptual information with diverse cognitive and linguistic processes.ObjectiveTo characterize visual attention during phonological processing tasks in Colombian children with DLD.MethodologyThis study employed a cross-sectional descriptive experimental design involving 20 children diagnosed with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and 20 children without language difficulties. All participants underwent language, vocabulary, and phonological awareness tests. Additionally, an experimental task utilizing the eye-tracking method was designed and administered to measure phonological processing with phonological and lexical distractors.ResultsChildren with DLD exhibited diminished performance on phonological awareness tasks, as evidenced by their lower scores. This was further supported by the experimental phonological processing task, where an interference effect was observed in the presence of lexical distractors for word recognition, but not with phonological distractors.ConclusionChildren with DLD demonstrated deficiencies in both phonological awareness and visual attention skills during linguistic and phonological processing tasks. They also exhibit reduced sensitivity in identifying phonological relations such as rhyme. The study discusses these findings along with their clinical implications, emphasizing the importance of assessing online processing abilities in children with DLD and considering the influence of other cognitive abilities on their linguistic performance.","source":"DOAJ","year":2024,"language":"","subjects":["Communication.

People use social media to express their feelings. Thus, social media constitute a valuable form of information for the early detection of stress and depression. Although many research works have been introduced targeting the early recognition of stress and depression, there are still limitations. There have been proposed multi-task learning settings, which use depression and emotion (or figurative language) as the primary and auxiliary tasks respectively. However, although stress is inextricably linked with depression, researchers face these two tasks as two separate tasks. To address these limitations, we present the first study, which exploits two different datasets collected under different conditions, and introduce two multitask learning frameworks, which use depression and stress as the main and auxiliary tasks respectively. Specifically, we use a depression dataset and a stressful dataset including stressful posts from ten subreddits of five domains. In terms of the first approach, each post passes through a shared BERT layer, which is updated by both tasks. Next, two separate BERT encoder layers are exploited, which are updated by each task separately. Regarding the second approach, it consists of shared and task-specific layers weighted by attention fusion networks. We conduct a series of experiments and compare our approaches with existing research initiatives, single-task learning, and transfer learning. Experiments show multiple advantages of our approaches over state-of-the-art ones.","source":"arXiv","year":2023,"language":"en","subjects":["cs.CL","cs.SI"],"doi":"10.1016/j.osnem.2023.100270","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18907","pdf_url":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.18907","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"2023-05-30T10:04:01Z","score":67},{"id":"arxiv_2312.11326","title":"Topic Shifts as a Proxy for Assessing Politicization in Social Media","authors":[{"name":"Marcelo Sartori Locatelli"},{"name":"Pedro Calais"},{"name":"Matheus Prado Miranda"},{"name":"João Pedro Junho"},{"name":"Tomas Lacerda Muniz"},{"name":"Wagner Meira"},{"name":"Virgilio Almeida"}],"abstract":"Politicization is a social phenomenon studied by political science characterized by the extent to which ideas and facts are given a political tone. A range of topics, such as climate change, religion and vaccines has been subject to increasing politicization in the media and social media platforms. In this work, we propose a computational method for assessing politicization in online conversations based on topic shifts, i.e., the degree to which people switch topics in online conversations. The intuition is that topic shifts from a non-political topic to politics are a direct measure of politicization -- making something political, and that the more people switch conversations to politics, the more they perceive politics as playing a vital role in their daily lives. A fundamental challenge that must be addressed when one studies politicization in social media is that, a priori, any topic may be politicized. Hence, any keyword-based method or even machine learning approaches that rely on topic labels to classify topics are expensive to run and potentially ineffective. Instead, we learn from a seed of political keywords and use Positive-Unlabeled (PU) Learning to detect political comments in reaction to non-political news articles posted on Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok during the 2022 Brazilian presidential elections. Our findings indicate that all platforms show evidence of politicization as discussion around topics adjacent to politics such as economy, crime and drugs tend to shift to politics. Even the least politicized topics had the rate in which their topics shift to politics increased in the lead up to the elections and after other political events in Brazil -- an evidence of politicization.","source":"arXiv","year":2023,"language":"en","subjects":["cs.SI"],"doi":"10.1609/icwsm.v18i1.31366","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.11326","pdf_url":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.11326","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"2023-12-18T16:19:53Z","score":67},{"id":"doaj_https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.2238-2593.organicom.2022.205774","title":"Eu tenho apenas uma literatura e não é minha: reflexões de uma experiência sino-espanhola","authors":[{"name":"Paloma Chen"}],"abstract":"Reflexões situadas em uma identidade sino-utiel-valenciana-wenzhounesa-espanhola são vistas como experiências particulares e minoritárias pela hegemonia ocidental, que atribui rótulos de hipersexualização, fetichização, exotismo e criminalização às mulheres asiáticas.

In this study, we draw upon survey data that we collected in spring 2020 from a national sample of U. S. adults to answer these questions. We find that most people missed elements of face-to-face interactions and particularly valued spontaneous interactions, physical closeness, and independence from technology about in-person interactions. More frequent and increasing use of popular digital modes such as voice calls, video calls, text messages, and social media were all positively related to missing face-to-face communication. Our results contribute to the understanding of the role and value of in-person interactions in a digital world.","source":"DOAJ","year":2022,"language":"","subjects":["Communication.

Mass communication is defined as a process of collecting, sending, and receiving the information to masses and the channels employed during this process are known as mass media. There are different types of mass media ranging from print and broadcast media to outdoor and digital media. All types of mass media are considered to perform some vital functions ranging from surveillance, correlation, and cultural transmission to entertainment, sensationalization, mobilization, and validation. Apart from these functions, one of the most pivotal functions of mass media for both developed and developing economies is its inevitable role in encouraging development within the nations.","source":"CrossRef","year":2022,"language":"en","subjects":null,"doi":"10.33774/coe-2022-4t1wg-v2","url":"https://doi.org/10.33774/coe-2022-4t1wg-v2","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":66}],"total":3423222,"page":1,"page_size":20,"sources":["arXiv","DOAJ","Semantic Scholar","CrossRef"],"query":"Communication.
