Abstract from Author: In the new media era, attention has become a scarce resource. Tragic events can quickly arouse the attention of the audience. However, when journalists use new media technology to report tragic news events, there are many problems of media ethics. This paper takes the report of "a 17-year-old boy committed suicide by jumping off a bridge" as an example to analyze the problems in the reporting methods and content of the mainstream media "People’s Daily" and "Chengdu Commercial Daily" while using new media technology. The problems include the lack of humanistic care in the reporting method, the lack of rational judgment in the content of the report, and the problem of deliberately amplifying emotional feelings under the attention economy. In the end, specific solutions have been tentatively proposed for these problems, to provide reference for journalists when reporting such events.

Abstract from Author: This study examines audience use of new media technologies found on NPR. org. A total of 514 members from NPR program fan groups found on Facebook were surveyed. The results indicate people prefer ‘‘traditional’’ Web site technologies: written articles, audio and video, podcasting, and links to local stations. Visitors use NPR.org to take control of their media experience, to be entertained, and to gather information. To gather information includes social interaction. There is some evidence that users may not be interested in new media features if the usefulness of these technologies is not apparent. Industry implications are also addressed.

Abstract from Author: This book's title tells its intent. It is written to help you understand media and culture. The media and culture are so much a part of our days that sometimes it is difficult to step back and appreciate and apprehend their great impact on our lives. The book's title, and the book itself, begin with a focus squarely on media. Think of your typical day. If you are like many people, you wake to a digital alarm clock or perhaps your cell phone. Soon after waking, you likely have a routine that involves some media. Some people immediately check the cell phone for text messages. Others will turn on the computer and check Facebook, email, or websites. Some people read the newspaper. Others listen to music on an iPod or CD. Some people will turn on the television and watch a weather channel, cable news, or Sports Center. Heading to work or class, you may chat on a cell phone or listen to music. Your classes likely employ various types of media from course management software to PowerPoint presentations to DVDs to YouTube. You may return home and relax with video games, television, movies, more Facebook, or music. You connect with friends on campus and beyond with text messages or Facebook. And your day may end as you fall asleep to digital music. Media for most of us are entwined with almost every aspect of life and work. Understanding media will not only help you appreciate the role of media in your life but also help you be a more informed citizen, a more savvy consumer, and a more successful worker. Media influence all those aspects of life as well.

Abstract from Author: With a foreword by Norman Denzin Communication and the history of technology have invariably been examined in terms of artefacts and people. Gary Krug argues that communication technology must be studied as an integral part of culture and lived experience. Rather than stand in awe of the apparent explosion of new technologies, this book links key moments and developments in communication technology with the social conditions of their time. It traces the evolution of technology, culture, and the self as mutually dependent and influential. This innovative approach will be welcomed by undergraduates and postgraduates needing to develop their understanding of the cultural effects of communication technology, and the history of key communication systems and techniques.
