“…Grounded theory is well-suited to this type of research in that it generates new knowledge which we seek to do here (Williams & Tkach, 2021). Though grounded theory can be used to derive inferences from data, it is best used in conjunction with another methodological strategy.…”

We interviewed 31 individuals about their online dating life and behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. We use literature on risk and health behaviors to generate four frames for dealing with risk associated with COVID-19 while dating: 1) Unconcerned about Risk, 2) Preliminary Risk Assessment, 3) Active Risk Negotiation, and 4) Risk Aversion. Further, we argue that risk perception causes daters to use implicit and explicit communication about health behaviors to determine COVID compatibility, a state of being in agreement with a partner about how to best minimize risk of contracting COVID-19. Daters want to know that their partner is behaving with similar regard for health guidance and that they are doing their best to keep those in their communities safe. Though daters may transition between frames throughout the course of the pandemic, we use these four frames to identify sets of beliefs, routines, and personal health practices across our sample that have relevance for social scientists, health communication scholars, and health care practitioners.

“…The first part of our post-hoc analysis focuses on the relationship between technology competence and teamwork competence ( γ 10 = 0.590, p < 0.001). Research indicated that there is a convergence of media technologies ( Deuze, 2005 ; Williams and Tkach, 2021 ). As a result, reporters have to produce news content suitable for publication in various media formats through various channels and platforms (e.g., web, television, and social media).…”

The rapid development of digital technologies has transformed the world but can be a double-edged sword. We study the interaction of important variables that affect individual news reporters’ performance in which digital technology is the dominant feature. A multilevel model illustrates how transactive memory and job competence affect individual performance. The empirical study includes data from 19 teams of news reporters and 211 valid survey responses, applying hierarchical linear modeling to analyze the data. The results indicate that transactive memory and technology competence help to improve a reporter’s job performance. More importantly, teamwork competence fully mediates the relationships. Our findings thus suggest that teamwork competence is the core skill. Neither technology competence nor transactive memory alone translates directly into enhanced individual performance.

“…With the advent of the era of integrated media, newspapers, radio, television, and other traditional media have opened the integrated media live section and have their own anchor; traditional radio and television hosts are facing new challenges and opportunities [11][12][13]. In order to adapt to the development needs of the times, traditional radio and television hosts must constantly adjust the original hosting state, combined with their own professional skills and experience, and continue to improve their business ability and transformation ability in order to meet the hosting requirements of the modern live broadcast of integrated media [14][15].…”

In the age of informationization, webcasting has gradually become an essential form of media. On the live broadcasting platform, hosts transmit information through discourse practice and continuously reshape their identities, a phenomenon of great significance in both academic and practical fields. Qualitative and quantitative methods analyze the host’s discourse characteristics and identity construction process. It is found that the moderator’s discourse patterns are mainly affectionate, humorous, simple and commonplace, and the role of discourse practice in the construction of identity is revealed through Foucault’s discourse theory and the SMCR communication model. The empirical analysis shows that the hosts’ discourse themes in beauty and fashion account for up to 20% of the total, and enhance the communication effect through multimodal discourse (visual and auditory). The study also found that hosts reshape their identities through live discourse, such as transforming traditional TV anchors into online KOLs, to portray a pro-people and professional image. Hosts realize effective identity reshaping on live broadcast platforms through discourse practice, profoundly impacting emerging marketing models such as live bandwagon.
