Bringing content into the equation: Using a wordscores method to compare the effect of newspaper and television on vote choice in referendums
Full text linkCitizens often lack policy-specific knowledge to cast a well-informed vote in a direct democratic ballot. To fill this information gap, citizens rely on the media to find policy arguments. With that in mind, this article compares the effect of newspapers and television on vote choice in a referendum. It is the first attempt to use the same method, i. e., a Wordscores content analysis, to position newspaper outlets and television format on a No–Yes scale within the same direct democratic campaign. Indeed, by linking this content analysis with a three-wave online panel survey (N = 686) this method considers the divergent influence of newspapers and television on vote choice. A panel model identifies a positive effect of newspapers on the vote choice of those who consume newspapers intensively. Alternatively, the model detects a positive effect of television content on vote choice, but only for citizens with low political awareness. In the end, this paper extends the literature on the importance of systematic reasoning in direct democratic votes
Exploring Public Health Agencies’ Communication on Social Media in the Early Stages of the Covid-19 Pandemic: An International Perspective
No full textThe Covid-19 pandemic created a significant challenge for public health agencies worldwide. Many have turned to social media as a tool for pandemic-related information dissemination. However, research on the effectiveness of social media for pandemic communication is still limited. This study explores social media communication by health agencies during the early stages of the pandemic in four countries which differ in their pandemic dynamics, cultural and geopolitical factors: the Netherlands, Poland, South Korea, and the United States. We focus on Twitter and identify themes present in the health agencies’ communication, as well as their relationship with the publics’ engagement. We find that the health agencies’ communication was mostly neutral and focused on providing sources for more information about the virus and basic information about the virus, however, there are differences between the countries
\u27Mapping\u27 Knowledge Dissemination: What Metaphors Reveal About the Conceptualisation of Immunotherapy in Scientific and Journalistic Communication
No full textMetaphors are commonly used in communication about complex health issues and interventions, such as immunotherapy. This study maps the use of metaphors in communication about immunotherapy and explores differences and similarities in scientific and newspaper articles, with the aim to reveal the conceptualisation of immunotherapy among academic peers and to a broader public. We compiled two datasets of scientific (N = 1,425) and newspaper (N = 2,650) articles about immunotherapy. We identified signalled metaphors in text fragments about immunotherapy, determined their source domains, and categorized which aspects of immunotherapy they described. We identified 510 text fragments with a signalled metaphor describing 10 different aspects of immunotherapy, representing 210 different metaphorical words from 23 metaphorical source domains. The two datasets largely described similar aspects of immunotherapy, such as workings of immunotherapy and role or function of immunotherapy. They referred to similar metaphorical source domains, such as war and journey, but their distribution showed different patterns. Furthermore, different metaphorical words were used in the two datasets, with the newspaper articles showing greater diversity. This study shows how immunotherapy is conceptualised and communicated, demonstrates metaphor analysis as a method to gain insight in health issues, and suggests future research with implications for practice
Co-Actors and Inequities in Digital Health from a Nursing Home Perspective
No full textHow are digital media used among older people at nursing homes? This qualitative study investigates the use of digital media in healthcare among individuals aged 75 and over who reside in nursing homes in Denmark. Focusing on the essential role of relatives and care takers, the research analyses the challenges faced by older individuals, particularly those without immediate relatives, in accessing and utilising digital health solutions and health communication. Through in-depth interviews and observations, we explore how digital health technologies often fall short of meeting the need for joint use among the older individual, relatives and nursing home staff, which leads to a digital divide that intensifies existing inequities in healthcare access. Our findings underscore the critical need for personalised assistance and support mechanisms to bridge the gap between older individuals and digital health technologies. By highlighting the importance of warm experts, co-actors in health and proxy users, this study offers insight into effective strategies for improving the digital health experiences for residents in nursing homes with the ultimate aim of contributing to more inclusive and equitable healthcare solutions
Articulations of the institutional and the popular in the construction of Europe: A discourse-theoretical analysis of Czech social media content
Full text linkThis article focuses on how Europe is discursively constructed across its institutional and popular dimensions, in content published on social media, in the Czech Republic. The research combines quantitative content analysis and discourse-theoretical analysis to explore both broader patterns and varied nuances of the institutional and the popular in the discursive construction of Europe. The analysis shows the hegemonic presence of institutional aspects and dimensions in articulating Europe, while the Europe of the people, of values and ideas, is not conspicuous. The discursive mechanisms of reduction and contestation activate specific articulations of the institutional and the popular, weakening the signifier Europe as a potential identity marker for Czech citizens. These mechanisms are activated by Eurosceptic populism, exacerbated during the research period of elections, in the Czech context that bears a post-socialist load in articulating national and European identities
