The Giffords shootings in Tucson: Exploring citizen-generated versus news media content in crisis management

This study expands on previously published research into the role citizen generated content plays in the coverage of crisis situations and discusses implications for public relations practitioners who must respond to this type of coverage. Using a content analysis of newspapers and the websites of cable and broadcast news networks, the authors explored the use of both official versus non-official sources and the use of citizen generated content during coverage of the January 2011 shootings in Tucson that injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and 12 others, and killed six people. Results revealed reporters were more likely to use non-official sources. Reporters also were more likely to use non-official technology sources, or citizen generated content, than official technology sources such as web-based news releases and statements. This study finds additional support for the concept that crisis managers must learn to deal with reporters’ use of citizen generated content while also leveraging social media to control their organization's message during a crisis.     

An Intersectional Analysis of LGBTQ Online Media Coverage of the Pulse Nightclub Shooting Victims

ABSTRACT

This study illustrates the radical potential of intersectionality to offer a more deeply critical analysis of hierarchies in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities. The author examines how 377 reports from the five most-trafficked LGBTQ Web sites represented victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, FL. Findings support previous scholarship that has emphasized Latinx exclusion, as the articles generally failed to present the victims in an intersectional way, focusing on their LGBTQ status and excluding their Latinx identities. At the same time, a significant minority of the reports emphasized Latinx queer people, most frequently in a way that continued to prioritize LGBTQ identification, sometimes even advancing stereotypical representations of Latinx communities as extraordinarily focused on faith, family, or “machismo.” Moreover, none of the articles considered xenophobia as a potential motivating factor in the shooting, and the reports typically presented policing agencies in a neutral, and sometimes even positive, way.     

胤征羲和事实考

伪古文尚书《胤征》所记胤征羲和故事,是在《书序》及《史记·夏本纪》的基础上衍生而成。《史记》记胤征羲和发生在夏帝仲康之时,是可信的。而伪《胤征》将此衍生为胤受夏帝仲康之命征讨羲和,则是错误的。因为后羿逐太康代夏政之后,仲康及相二位夏帝皆未成为实际的统治者。所谓胤征羲和,应即是后羿射日神话的人间版本。二者事同,时同,人同。从其时的政治格局而言,胤征羲和,可能正是发生在后羿统治集团与不愿臣服的原夏后氏统治集团成员之间的一场战争。

对2012年伦敦奥运会男子手球中锋位置单手接球射门技术的研究

本研究运用文献资料、调查访问、录像观察、数理统计等研究方法,对世界各手球强国的中锋位置队员在比赛中运用单手接球射门做了详细的技术统计,并对相关技术指标做了深入分析,获得结论如下：中锋位置队员单手接球之后形成射门的比重逐渐增加．中锋位置队员单手接球射门攻击区域逐渐扩大．在原地对抗情况下,在防守队员体前或体侧位置抢住,并能够稳定接空中球和反弹球射门,已经成了单手接球射门的基本特点．中锋位置队员单手接球射门技术比双手接球射门技术更迅速,攻击力更强,给防守队员带来的压力和威胁更大．中锋位置队员单手接球射门比双手接球射门更加稳定．     

从死刑执行方式的改革中看中国人权保障的进步

半个世纪以来,中国在推进法制建设的道路上充满了曲折和艰辛,一个重要的议题就是如何对待公民的权利。从斩首到枪决,从枪决到注射,死刑的执行方式的变迁,不仅有利于死刑犯在更少痛苦,更能体会到人格尊严的气氛中死去,更有利于死刑犯人权的保障。改革死刑的执行方式,是社会文明进步的必然,是现代人类文明的要求。     

“动态镜头”、“运动镜头”、“运动摄像”及相关概念辨析

在关于电视画面运动的讨论中,有好几个概念都存在彼此牵连、界定不清的问题。为了廓清思路,更好地指导实践,可从拍摄的角度起用一个新概念——“固定拍摄”,以便与传统的“运动摄像”概念形成呼应;从后期剪辑的角度,则可以起用一对新概念——“静态镜头”和“动态镜头”,以适应观众对画面的把握方式;同时,对传统的一对概念“固定镜头”和“运动镜头”相应地需要进行更准确的定位和把握。最后,对与“运动摄像”相关的一系列容易让人误解的传统概念、术语也进行了更为细致的辨别。     

论射礼兴衰与文化嬗变

本文论述了射礼起源于原始狩猎文化中的射禽鸟类活动。这种竞技活动在西周时期演变为周天子威慑诸候、维护中央集权的手段。春秋时期,经过儒家的阐释,射礼礼仪又成为检验人们道德修养的准则。射礼活动一直沿续至清代。
