Depth Interviews

This research discusses the social media Twitter, which is the first platform to search for the latest information or news. This is backed up by the large amount of news or information circulating on online news portals, often sourced from the social media Twitter. The purpose of this literature review is to see how Twitter was chosen by social media users as a place to fulfill their information needs. The scope of this research is in the mass media communication circle using Uses & Gratifications Theory (UGT) to explain why users choose their media to complement their needs. This study uses an in-depth interview exploratory description method. Data collection from journals or previous research is carried out based on the context and cases where the data and information are needed in this study. In addition, this study uses an exploratory description method of in-depth interviews with four respondents who use social media Twitter. Questions are given in a structured manner. The result of this research is that there is a new motivation for people to use Twitter.

Wide Availability

This paper identifies and analyses current dimensions of change in mass media communication and in particular changes in mass media news transmitted via the Internet. In comparison with traditional media such as newspapers, Internet mass media products rely increasingly on a hypertext structure and on the integration of different channels of communication (hypermedia). In addition, they seek to convey the impression of personal, almost private communication. Audiences are carefully targeted, and media products can be customised to the personal needs and preferences of individual consumers. Online news media are also more interactive, requiring choices by users who activate some links and ignore others, and allowing users to “talk back” to the producers and interact with other users. The life span of information is changing as information is published as news in increasingly shorter time spans. Reception patterns are also changing: television and radio broadcasts available on the Internet can be received in a selective and asynchronous manner, like newspapers. Finally, online media differ from their traditional predecessors in their immediate world-wide availability, and in a reduction in the fixity of their texts.

Bot Detection

The reach and influence of social networks over modern society and its functioning have created new challenges and opportunities to prevent the misuse or tampering of such powerful tools of social interaction. Twitter, a social networking service that specializes in online news and information exchange involving billions of users world-wide, has been infested by bots for several years. In this paper, we analyze both public and private databases from the literature of bot detection on Twitter. We summarize their advantages, disadvantages, and differences, recommending which is more suitable to work with depending on the necessities of the researcher. From this analysis, we present five distinct behaviors in automated accounts exhibited across all the bot datasets analyzed from these databases. We measure their level of presence in each dataset using a radar chart for visual comparison. Finally, we identify four challenges that researchers of bot detection on Twitter have to face when using these databases from the literature.

The paper explores the grave issue for modern-day research of mass media communication - fake news. The study aims at identifying cognitive bases and mechanisms of formation of media fakes about coronavirus. The first part of the article defines fake news and delineates salient characteristics of fake news. The second part of the article reveals some common semantic macrostructures of media fakes about the virus based on the analysis of social media posts and news articles. The third part of the article presents and describes the key strategies and tactics of manipulation and information distortion typical of fake news about the virus. The analysis reveals essential cognitive and pragmalinguistic components of coronavirus media fakes. The results of the undertaken research are relevant to further exploring other features of fake news and can be implemented as a guide for identifying fake news in order to reduce the mass addressee’s susceptibility to fakes.

Key Aspects

The conceptual framework ‘medicine’ within the English lexicographic, scientific, educational, and mass-media discourse was considered in this paper. The research was motivated by current medical innovations accompanied by word-coining contributing to the renewal of nuclear concepts and their semantic content within the conceptual framework ‘medicine’. The nuclear concepts of the above-mentioned conceptual framework focusing upon semantic, synonymic, and hyper-hyponymic features of medical nouns in English were studied and systematized. For this purpose, the methods of data collection, description, and classification of the empirical materials with elements of semantic and conceptual analysis were used. The key aspects of the modern conceptual framework ‘medicine’ were identified. It was discovered that the conceptual framework ‘medicine’ in the modern English lexicographic, scientific, educational, and mass-media types of discourse is basically actualized through the following nuclear concepts: ‘diseases’, ‘diagnostics and treatment methods’, and ‘drugs’. Interestingly, the nuclear concepts in all types of the English professional discourse enrich and develop the conceptual framework ‘medicine’ with medical terms related to the corresponding professional markers, synonyms, hyponyms, and hyperonyms. The results obtained provide both a valid background for better explanation, translation, and application of medical vocabulary in terms of modern lexicographic, scientific, educational, and mass-media communication strategies.

Insight Into

This paper is based on reflections after an emotional discussion on the word and term medijs(i) (‘medium’) in Latvian that broke out during the yearly conference The Word: Aspects of Research at Liepāja University, in November 2019. The aim of this paper is not to blame or replace the broadly spread two-word term plašsaziņas līdzekļi with an anglicism mediji. In Latvia, there are many titles and documents where this term has a permanent and stable place. Such as, for example, The National Electronic Mass Media Council. At the same time, it is time to recognise the use of the word medijs(i) as an entirely accepted synonym of plašsaziņas līdzeklis(ļi) and even as a semantically more broadly usable term in the context of developing information and communication technologies. As this short insight into the research of the word shows, the term is already currently used not only among professionals but also on the level of state institutions, public and private organisations, and companies. On the other hand, especially in the contexts of communication science, arts, and philosophy, the spectrum of meanings of the word medijs(i) in the vocabulary of modern Latvian must be broadened.
