Telling your own bad news: Eliot Spitzer and a test of the stealing thunder strategy

This study explored the concept of stealing thunder, or telling your own bad news. Unlike previous research which used surveys and experiments, this study examined actual news coverage following crises that involved individuals. One case study compared media coverage of two New York governors while the second case study compared media coverage of a high profile athlete and a late night talk show host. In each of the two studies, one of the individuals in crisis stole thunder from reporters by revealing negative information before the media did; while the other person in crisis engaged in silence and allowed the media to break the story. Results indicate there may be an association between stealing thunder and the amount of news coverage one receives. Both studies found that the source who stole thunder received considerably less news coverage than the source who did not. Additionally, results from both studies showed that stealing thunder was associated with more positively framed stories and headlines and fewer negative media frames.     

Are ‘journalists’ own problems’ aggravating their hostility toward public relations?—A study of Korean journalists

Journalists’ own job problems have been found to be detrimental to media recognition of public relations: journalists vent frustration from their worsening job conditions at public relations practitioners. This outlook of occupational psyche casts a shadow over the bright prospect for media recognition of the profession. Journalists’ problems operate outside media relations, thus beyond direct attempts of public relations practitioners at media recognition via enhancing professionalism in their practices. There have been, however, only a few qualitative studies on this significant issue, all pointing to journalists’ occupational psyche running against media recognition. The purpose of this study is to determine quantitatively whether journalists’ own job satisfaction and their envy of public relations practitioners lead to their negative attitude. A survey of 128 Korean off-line journalists was conducted, and its results suggested that occupational psyche has little influence on media attitude—contrary to the findings of previous qualitative studies. For future study, this paper issues a call for cross-country, comparative research on the subject of journalists’ occupational psyche.

论"后战国时代"

从秦朝到汉初,构成了一个相对完整的历史阶段,即"后战国时代"。特点有三:(一)分封观念在社会上的普遍存在;(二)诸侯集团作为政治体制的现实存在以及对汉初政局的强大影响;(三)思想学术在官方制度架构中的多元共存。作为一种历史的"过渡形态",其内在特性应该成为我们对后战国时代进行界定和阐释的理论依据。     

"玉器时代"研究述评

"玉器时代"是20世纪80年代我国考古界提出的一个历史分期概念,这个概念的提出,主要是基于良渚文化遗址中出现的大量玉礼器所反映出来的文化信息.对"玉器时代"应该慎下结论,特别是在目前考古材料还不充分的情况下,只能将其视为良渚等文化的一个阶段,这个阶段是以宗法制度的形成、玉器的礼器化为特点的.

西方媒体人类学研究简述

研究西方媒体人类学,必须关注其历时发展脉络、人类学涉足媒体的动因和条件,尤其是具体的研究进路。认同、性别和国家主体建构、生产者与受众及在地化研究等内容是西方媒体人类学研究的焦点。西方媒体人类学处于西方社会文化背景、学术传统以及人类学变迁的多维动力中,既有对经典人类学的继承、发扬,亦有向媒体及相关领域的开拓、创新。     

新时代凉山彝族自治州乡村治理之困及应对策略研究

乡村治理是凉山彝族自治州社会治理的重要方面,目前凉山州乡村治理在推进乡村民主政治、促进集体经济增长、提升公共服务水平等方面均有一定进展。但从整体看来,凉山州乡村治理仍是区域社会治理的薄弱环节,表现为：现实经济发展水平难以支撑乡村治理有效开展;彝族社会传统治理规则的现代性转化率较低;地理环境阻隔妨碍乡村治理效能的有效提升;部分基层党组织乡村治理角色及功能定位偏差;乡村治理工作考评优化机制不健全。凉山州乡村治理应坚持新发展理念,增强乡村治理现实经济基础和经费保障;挖掘彝族传统治理规则及治理资源并实现现代性转化;探索多样化治理单元模式,强化信息网络支撑;深化党建引领,找准基层党组织角色功能定位;建立健全乡村治理考评优化机制,以此实现凉山州乡村善治。     

“中心-边缘”：自媒体与媒体权力结构的再生产

自媒体研究既需在宏观上建立完整的理论框架,也需微观考察其新闻生产方式的多样性。文章采取“中心-边缘”的分析框架,以数据统计为主要研究方法,从宏观和微观两个层面解释自媒体参与下的、媒体领域的权力结构再生产。结论显示：中国的传媒体制构成“中心-边缘”的权力结构,20世纪90年代至21世纪初期的体制变革以来,大型国有传媒集团始终处于中心地位;Web20浪潮之下,自媒体一方面挑战了原有的权力结构中的中心媒体,另一方面在多方力量博弈的结构中依然处于边缘。这一再生产后的权力结构既异于以往,同时又继承了原有结构的若干特征,而非停留在“去中心、去权威”的简单状态,亦不能用“新-旧”或“精英-大众”简单的二分法来解释。     

分析朝鲜书院的展开过程当中出现的士林系书院观
