How citizens’ perceptions of societal problems are shaped by media use has been a critical question in media effects research for decades. This study addresses a specific puzzle concerning media effects in contemporary fragmented media environments: the dual role of media trust as both (a) an antecedent variable guiding news selection and (b) a moderator variable conditioning the effects of news use on perceptions of societal problems. Building upon the differential susceptibility to media effects model, we analyze the role of media trust for citizens’ orientation towards mainstream and alternative news media—and how such usage influences perceptions of two major societal issues: health care and school. Findings from a four-wave panel survey conducted in Sweden suggest that public service and alternative news use matter for citizens’ perceptions of societal problems and that media trust influences news choices and may, partly, condition media effects.

This study adopts a populism communication framework to examine the influences of conservative summary site use on trust in mainstream news organizations. Data from two-wave panel surveys show that reading conservative summary sites is positively related to hostile media perceptions. Hostile media perceptions are negatively related to trust in several Japanese news organizations. The association between conservative summary site use and hostile media perception is not dependent on information processing strategies.

Infectious disease outbreaks are uncertain and potentially risky events that often attract significant media attention. Previous research has shown that, regardless of their objective severity, diseases receiving greater coverage in the media are considered to be more serious and more representative of a disease than those receiving less coverage. This study assesses the role of media coverage in estimations of population risk (measured as perceived incidence among a specific population within a 1-year time period) and personal risk (measured as perceived personal likelihood of infection). Diseases with higher media coverage were considered more serious and more representative of a disease, and estimated to have lower incidence, than diseases less frequently found in the media. No difference in estimates of personal risk was found. A significant correlation between estimates of population and personal risk was found for diseases infrequently reported in the media. A weaker correlation between estimates of population and personal risk was found for diseases frequently reported in the media. The correlation remained unchanged when participants were exposed to additional information, including symptoms, mortality and estimates of prevalence.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic review of the literature examining the role of news media consumption and awareness in shaping public attitudes about police. Design/methodology/approach A comprehensive, systematic search of multiple academic databases (e.g. EBSCO Host) was undertaken, supplemented by the use of Google Scholar to search among journals indicated as having cited the articles found in the databases. Findings A total of 42 studies were identified that met the selection criteria for this meta-review and examined exposure to high-profile incidents involving police, awareness of negative news coverage of police, and/or consumption of specific news mediums (e.g. newspapers). Overall, research supports a relationship between negative perceptions of police and both exposure to high-profile incidents and awareness of negative coverage. Some support for the influence of consuming television news on attitudes exists, but more research is needed on the role of different news sources in shaping perceptions. Future research should also include determining causal pathways and how news about police is selected. Originality/value This is the first meta-review of the research examining how news media and attitudes about police are related. This study will provide a useful resource for those researchers wishing to continue to examine different aspects of news media consumption as a predictor of perceptions.

Many traditional models of visual perception, advertising and promotion assume passive media environments, and whether or not these models effectively transfer to highly interactive media environments such as social networks, videogames and visual websites is uncertain. Drawing on prior literature in visual psychology, consumer behavior and eye-tracker research, this article shows how key nonconscious factors shape vision in interactive environments in ways not present for passive media. User agency focuses visual attention on objects that are under user control, owing to telepresence and goal-driven perception creating a form of interactive tunnel vision. These drivers of perception guide visual attention in ways not seen in passive media, and could be operating largely outside of conscious awareness or control. This article includes implications for branded elements within interactive environments.

This article, focusing on significant recent and current migration events, begins with the wide acknowledgement that mass media, especially news media, are the dominant sources from which individuals and groups construct their social realities. Further, print or broadcast reports, along with accompanying images that provide immediacy, relevance, and authenticity for the verbal messages, encourage particular interpretations through agenda setting, framing, and thematic narratives. The consistent, persistent, and corroborative character of media coverage of specific events, issues, or populations weighs heavily in this regard. Host-country expectations are typically formed as migrants approach a destination, or concurrently with their arrival, influencing reception and contextualizing perceptions of initial and ongoing encounters with migrants. The techniques and character of the agenda-setting, framing, and thematic narration as well as their impact on public opinion are explored. Additionally, journalistic self-assessment of migration coverage is explored.

How do managers perceive and use media? Media richness theory (MRT) appears to provide persuasive answers to this, but does it work when electronic media is used? Surveys of Japanese managers showed that the perceptions of media, including electronic media, did not contradict MRT. But, even so, the use of rich media was found to be influenced more strongly by whether the media was traditional or electronic, with respect to organizational interpretation of its environment. The perception and use of electronic media may not correspond, though they have generally been assumed to do so.

The importance of integrating renewable energy, such as solar PV, in the global energy mix for mitigating carbon
emissions is increasing. Despite the global drive towards renewable energy, the limited uptake of solar PV
particularly in developing nations, such as Indonesia, poses significant challenges for transition to sustainable
energy. This study analyses public discourse to comprehend the obstacles for widespread adoption of solar PV
technologies. This study employs topic modelling and sentiment analysis of mainstream and social media data to
comprehensively capture public discourse and perceptions concerning PV and residential PV adoption in
Indonesia. The findings reveal shared thematic areas in both mainstream and social media. Nonetheless, the two
media types diverge significantly in their focal points. Our findings support previous survey-based research while
introducing three new topics found in both media channels. These topics are: (1) knowledge, misconceptions,
and skepticism, (2) economically viable alternative PV technologies; and (3) government regulations and policies.
Social and visual impressions such as aesthetics, hedonic motivation, and social influence are notably
absent. Public perception varies, with mainstream media portraying PV technology more positively than social
media. From both media, the public generally holds favorable views of PV, particularly in terms of its practicality,
installation, safety, and information accessibility. Nevertheless, negative perceptions arise regarding investment
costs, regulations, governmental policies, and the adequacy of government support.

Populist politicians increasingly accuse opposing media of spreading disinformation or “fake news.” However, empirical research on the effects
of these accusations is scarce. This survey experiment (N¼1,330) shows that disinformation accusations reduce audience members’ trust in
the accused news outlet and perceived accuracy of the news message, while trust in the accusing politician is largely unaffected. However, only
individuals with strong populist attitudes generalize disinformation accusations to the media as an institution and reduce their general media
trust. The phrase “fake news” does not amplify any of these effects. These findings suggest that politicians can undermine the credibility of
journalism without much repercussion—a mechanism that might also threaten other authoritative information sources in democracies such as
scientists and health authorities.
