Media-aware stock performance has been well recognized in recent studies. Previous research, however, focused on the content influence of the media, ignoring the manner in which the media is delivered. Based on the trust theory, this study argues that the media platforms, as media distribution vehicles and trust endorsement for news, are themselves influential on the stock market. This paper collected news data from seven Chinese mainstream media platforms and classified them into official, professional, and mass media platforms to investigate the impact of different platforms. The authors find that high official and professional media coverage predict increased abnormal returns, while high mass media coverage predicts the opposite. In addition, this paper systematically explores the mechanism of media platforms on stock performance from the perspectives of platform content, audience, and publication timeliness. The findings include that investors' attention to media platforms has a moderating effect on the stock performance, and such an effect is more salient in bear markets.

In our increasingly connected world, individuals produce continuous streams of data through their constant interactions with the Internet. This data is opening up opportunities to measure human behaviour that was previously time consuming or expensive to capture. Here, we explore whether data from online photographs can be used to estimate travel statistics on a global scale. We draw on the locations attached to 69 million publicly shared photographs to infer the global travel patterns of almost half a million users of the photo-sharing platform Flickr. We find that our photo-based estimates of tourist arrival statistics for the G7 countries Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States correlate with the corresponding official statistics released by those countries. Our results highlight the potential for vast volumes of online data to inform the generation of timely, low-cost indicators of the state of society. We discuss practical considerations that remain before this methodology could be used in the production of official statistics.

Having a voice in media is important to gain power and legitimacy in policy processes. However, media are biased in transmitting information. Using a quantitative content analysis of ten years' news reporting around water management policies in the Netherlands, we study how much media attention different groups of actors receive and how media biases relate to this attention. Executive politicians get on the news because of their authoritative position; less authoritative actors getting on the news is more related to information biases. Information biases can thus function as a form of checks and balances in news reporting on policy processes.

In recent years, studies on subjective well-being emerge in endlessly, many types, involving a wide range of fields, including sociology, psychology and economics. This paper chooses the type of media use as the independent variable, political trust as the intermediary mediating variable, and people’s subjective well-being as the dependent variable to establish the research model. This paper attempts to explore the influencing factors of people’s subjective well-being from the use of network media, and adds the variable of political trust to provide reference for further understanding the relationship between government and media in the media age. In this study, the main research data were obtained from the Chinese Academic Information Survey Database, with a total of 5415 questionnaires. SPSS25.0 was used for regression analysis. Combined with the "Edman Trust Survey 2021 China Report", this paper analyzes the changes of political trust of Internet users in China in recent years. The results show that the use of official media has a significant positive effect on people’s subjective well-being, and the use of non-official media has a significant negative impact on subjective well-being. Political trust has a significant mediating effect between media use and subjective well-being. Therefore, in order to improve people’s subjective well-being, government departments should improve the use of official media, shape a positive image of the country, and better enhance people’s positive cognition of the country.

This study examines how official sources and dramatic events influence media framing of political issues, assessing the claims of the indexing hypothesis and event-driven models. Through an analysis of the New York Times' coverage of the Iraq War in late 2005 and early 2006, this study compares coverage from before and after the bombing of a major Shi'ite shrine in Iraq. The analysis shows that journalists avoided the preferred frame of the White House while amplifying the preferred frame of the military. It also shows that the bombing spurred journalists to reframe the conflict. These findings challenge parts of the indexing hypothesis and support a more event-driven model of media framing.

The rapid expansion of the Internet in China has seen a concomitant rise in government regulation. While most existing studies have approached this issue from a technical or institutional perspective, few have examined how China's official media discourses work to legitimize its Internet governance. Based on a content and discourse analysis of 301 articles published by China Communist Party's central mouthpiece, People's Daily (2000-2014), this study explores how Internet governance is discursively constituted and practiced in China. The findings suggest that China's state-run media consistently justifies Internet governance on the basis of moral goodness, personal security, and social stability. Over the years, official media discourse has changed from viewing the Internet as a technological space with potential moral and security concerns to treating it as a destabilizing field of contentions. The findings also demonstrate the ways in which China's Internet governance framework is evolving in step with the pace of technological change. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

After a disaster, the media typically focus on who is to blame. However, relatively little is known about how the narrative of blame plays out in media coverage of the release of official disaster reports. This paper examines coverage by two Australian newspapers (The Courier-Mail and The Australian) of the release of the Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry's Interim Report and its Final Report to identify whether and how the news frame of blame was used. Given the absence of blame in the Final Report, the newspapers resorted to the frame of failure' in news and feature articles, while continuing to raise questions in editorials and opinion pieces about who was to blame. This study argues that situating coverage of the report within the news frame of failure and questioning who was to blame for the disaster limited the media's ability to facilitate a discussion about the prevention of similar disasters in the future.

Many high-ranking Chinese officials have recently changed their low-key persona and have discussed sensitive issues on television talk shows. Using complete participant observations of a CCTV talk show, we argue, besides officials' personal factors, that the unequal power distribution between the central ministries and the promotion competition among officials is the mechanism that motivates senior officials to enter the spotlight. State ministries with less political clout and local officials are more active talk show guests. They take advantage of media interviews to enhance policy adherence, signal administrative needs, and display achievements to the central government. The media political platform also brings more personal interaction between Chinese media and political elite, which may increase personalization of politics and autonomy for the media.

The overall purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between emotion tendency and e-WOM publishing during four phases of tourists' travel experience, from the multiplatform perspective, which has not been much studied in the field of tourism management. We firstly carried out a sentiment analysis of reviews on two platforms, the results indicated that there is a \ distinct emotion polarity. Then we measured 260 Chinese respondents' emotion tendency in four scenes using mDES and investigated their selection of different platforms to publish e-WOM. The statistical analysis and correlation analysis revealed that tourists with positive affect tend to share their experiences on social media while those with negative affect prefer integrated tourism websites. The results also revealed that the positive emotions are more frequent than negative emotions in a journey and the emotions of males and females are quite different. Finally, we give some management suggestions to different platforms. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The unprecedented pressure that has been exerted on The Guardian by UK authorities for disclosing state secrets about mass surveillance programmes of security and intelligence services and the instrumental involvement of large high-tech corporations has legal and practical consequences. On one hand, it endangers freedom of speech that characterises and sustains democracy at domestic level and, on the other, it reinforces cross-jurisdictional tactics of media organisations and uncontrolled disclosures on the internet, where the danger of manipulation of national state secrets is considerable. The legal problem involved lies in a judicial deviation from the entrenched standards of constitutional review, forcing an exclusive focus on the alleged damage that is caused by media publications. To secure a healthy political and public debate domestically and avoid unwarranted disclosures and manipulation of national state secrets in foreign media and digital markets, the importance of the public interest issue that is disclosed by domestic media must be evaluated, and safeguarded accordingly by a higher level of protection of freedom of speech in constitutional review.
