It is well investigated that the expression of racial prejudice is often induced by news coverage on the internet, and the exposure to media contributes to the cultivation of long-term prejudice. However, there is a lack of information regarding the immediate effects of news delivered through television or television-like media on the expression of racial prejudice. This study provides a framework for understanding such effects by focusing on content-audience associations using the logs of an “online television” service, which provides television-like content and user experiences. With these logs, we found an association between the news-watching and comment-posting behaviors. Consequently, logs relevant to two distinct forms of racism, modern and old-fashioned racism, were extracted. Using mathematical modeling, which considers the different levels of program inducements to racist expression, personal inclinations of audiences to racism, and certainty of prediction of audience behaviors, we found three associative patterns between the news programs and audiences. The relevance of the topics covered to the basic beliefs of each form of racism was characterized into three clusters: expression as a reaction to news that is directly relevant to the basic beliefs of racism with weak inducements by non-bigots, minority abuse by distorting the meanings of news content indirectly relevant to the beliefs but with strong inducements by audiences with a strong bias, and racial toxic opinions independent of the news content by clear bigots. Our findings provide implications for inhibiting the expression of online prejudice based on the characteristics of these patterns.

In the last decades, sports journalism has become one of the most rapidly growing parts of the media world. The reason is simple — right now sport holds the unique position in contemporary society. Governments, transnational companies, businesses — all are interested in promoting sports events. With this, coverage of tournaments and games has reached the global level. One of the main drivers of this hype is the mutual interest in hundreds of dozens of sports events that is shared all over the world. And the second driver is vast technical possibilities for transmitting information in all forms. Nowadays, new channels of mass communication are taking away significant part of the audience from the traditional sports broadcasting leader — television. News programs that once were a main source of the relevant sports information now are giving way to internet portals and digital media feeds. In this paper we thoroughly explore factors that have led to such drastic changes. Firstly, compared with the new media sources of information (e.g. Internet media) the core flaws of the television news are the following: loss of efficiency, delayed timing, an abundance of themes, format limits, expensive newsroom, high competition, almost zero feedback. Yet, experts in the sports news departments are relentlessly seeking for a new way to represent information. What sports news can give to the audience? It may be some unique content, original insights, “story behind story”, deep analysis, and, of course, high professional qualities of the sports news team.

A long user history inevitably reflects the transitions of personal interests over time. The analyses on the user history require the robust sequential model to anticipate the transitions and the decays of user interests. The user history is often modeled by various RNN structures, but the RNN structures in the recommendation system still suffer from the long-term dependency and the interest drifts. To resolve these challenges, we suggest HCRNN with three hierarchical contexts of the global, the local, and the temporary interests. This structure is designed to withhold the global long-term interest of users, to reflect the local sub-sequence interests, and to attend the temporary interests of each transition. Besides, we propose a hierarchical context-based gate structure to incorporate our interest drift assumption. As we suggest a new RNN structure, we support HCRNN with a complementary bi-channel attention structure to utilize hierarchical context. We experimented the suggested structure on the sequential recommendation tasks with CiteULike, MovieLens, and LastFM, and our model showed the best performances in the sequential recommendations.

In recent years there has been a slight tendency for television network news programs to increase the amount of soft news presented mostly during the last one-third of the newscast. Content analysis of the Vanderbilt Television News Abstracts from 1972 through 1987 shows that, although all networks did increase the amount of soft news, this type news remained a small part of the newscast. Soft news is defined as stories that focus on a human interest topic, feature or nonpolicy issue.

This study investigates to what extent audiovisual infotainment features can be found in the narrative structure of television news in three European countries. Content analysis included a sample of 639 news reports aired in the first 3 weeks of September 2013, in six prime-time TV news broadcasts of Ireland, Spain, and the Netherlands. It was found that Spain and Ireland included more technical features of infotainment in television news compared to the Netherlands. Also, the use of infotainment techniques is more often present in commercial, than in public broadcasting. Finally, the findings indicate no clear pattern of the use of infotainment techniques across news topics as coded in this study.

Carry Over Effect

Audiences make television news choices based on several factors, such as liking the newscaster, the content and scope of news programs, or from the carry-over effect of the preceding or following programs. Here, evaluation of the anchor person appeared to be most important in picking a weather program, less important for selected news and sports programs. Viewers reported that quality and scope of local news also drew them to particular programs. Findings are based on a telephone survey.

The Training for the Production of News Programs and Talk Show on Television for Students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Karanganyar The digital era makes it easier for humans to get information. Information provision is now no longer dominated by the mainstream media. Ordinary people can now provide information to the public by utilizing social media and other internet-based channels, such as YouTubers, citizen journalists, and other content creators. Unfortunately, they have not fully mastered the ability to produce standard information to fulfill the public's right to obtain accurate, responsible information, referring to existing ethics of information. This training was expected to provide solutions to the above problems. The determination of students as training participants was due to their much more significant curiosity and energy to do creative things to provide more incredible benefits. The benefits are not only for the students but can also be picked by society. The training was conducted at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Karanganyar, Central Java. As a result, the students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Karanganyar were able to produce audio-visual based works, especially in the form of television news programs and talk shows according to broadcasting standards.

The article focusses the written components of the screen surface in television news programs. The semiotic perspective represented in this article legitimises the viewpoint that they are not (ordinary) language signs. The main concern of this article is the status of the written text (as a semiotic medium) in the construction patterns of the news programs. It is argued that the written texts appear in the news programs increasingly as graphical elements, so that their visual presence becomes primary to their language meaning. This tendency is discussed in the article on the example of three news programs in the German television between 1996 and 2016.
