Nowe narzędzia i techniki zwiększające trafność badań internetowych
No full textThe aim of this paper is to present new techniques that increase the quality of data obtained through online research, basing on the example of Amazon MTurk. Using a critical analysis of the literature, preceded by a query, we identified the main sources of low-quality data such as careless responses, form-fill bots activity, and fraudulent behavior of manipulating IP addresses. The techniques implemented in the study offer several practical implications in terms of validity improvement. The results proved that 60% of observations were recognized as poor quality data. This confirms the applied control techniques to be useful and the proposed theoretical model of time operationalization to be an important indicator of careless responses.Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie nowych technik poprawiających jakość danych uzyskiwanych w badaniach przeprowadzanych online na przykładzie panelu Amazon MTurk. Poprzedzona kwerendą, krytyczna analiza literatury przedmiotu identyfikuje główne źródła zniekształcenia wyników, którymi są: bezrefleksyjność, działalność botów wypełniających ankiety oraz zachowania respondentów, klasyfikowane jako nadużycia lokalizacyjne interfejsu sieciowego IP. Wykorzystane podczas badania narzędzia oraz techniki wskazują na praktyczne sposoby zwiększania trafności uzyskiwanych danych poprzez rozpoznanie wyników zakłócających na poziomie 60%. Analiza otrzymanych danych potwierdza: 1) użyteczność zastosowanych technik kontroli oraz 2) stosowalność zaproponowanego w tekście modelu operacjonalizacji czasu jako istotnego wskaźnika zachowań bezrefleksyjnych.
War or Peace Journalism? Study of Media Coverage by Russian Media Outlets of the Trade War Between China and the USA
No full textIn recent years, the trade war between China and USA became one of the most important crises not only in global economic relations, but also in the international political agenda. The trade war between the world’s major powers also involved the core countries from differing regions, due to the significance of the trading streams between China and the USA. Therefore, Russia as one of the core countries was also affected by this trade war and attempted to develop own policy and economic relations towards the two sides. The current research is devoted to analysing the Russian media coverage of the trade war between China and USA based on content analysis and the implication of structural differences existing in the current Russian media system into war and peace journalism paradigms
Exploring Visual Culture of COVID-19 Memes: Russian and Chinese Perspectives
No full textThe article explores COVID-19 related Internet memes and treats them as samples of creolized text in a study of the way ethnic and cultural peculiarities of memes are perceived by representatives of two radically different cultural paradigms: the Russians and Chinese. A survey is used as a method of the investigation. Russian and Chinese students, and visual arts experts evaluated Russian and Chinese COVID-19 memes according to several criteria concerning their content, verbal constituent element and visual characteristics. The study concluded that the social and culture-specific components mostly contribute to forming the opinion of the meme and its appreciation. Awareness of both the cultural background and the current social and nation-specific situation is required to decode a full amount of information contained in a meme. Equally important is the visual component in understanding the meme. Thus, the study contributes not only to studying event-specific memes but also broadens the scope of research on memes as a sample of visual culture

‘Model Putin Forever’. A Critical Discourse Analysis on Vladimir Putin’s Portrayal in Czech Online News Media
No full textThis paper examines the Czech online news media representation of Vladimir Putin during three presidential elections (American of 2016, Czech and Russian of 2018). The portrayal of the Russian leader is examined using the methods of the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), mainly by the approach formulated by Teun van Dijk. The results showed a negatively biased portrayal of the president, Russian policy and the country itself, which corresponds with the historical-political context of the Czech-Russian relations, and which is in accordance with the Western media discourse. Applying the methods of global coherence revealed that the overarching theme of the coverage is Putin’s efforts to re-establish Russia as the global power and to restore the binary world as it was during the Cold war, while the methods of local coherence disclosed many implications, categorizations and the ubiquitous sarcasm and negativity in most of the texts
