“…These reactions are obtainable through engagement with media texts for varied reasons like personal, educational, and being academically critical (Thomason & Connolly, 2021). In turn, boosting media relevance and audience engagement leads to media sustainability (Castells-Fos et al, 2022), which can be achieved using three considerations: the careful management of staff and resources to meet the demands of digitalization, the strength of the ties between reputation and loyalty, and the powerful relationship between visibility and organizational size (Castells-Fos et al, 2023).…”

The dissemination of bad news in journalism practice seems to be a norm. Oddity is a key determinant of what journalists define as news. This conception has led to an intensification of bad news reports in society. This study measures the effects of bad news reports on media audiences. Agenda Setting, Framing and Gatekeeping theories are used. A total of 376 inhabitants in Buea municipality were surveyed. Findings suggest that the effects of bad news reports are significantly negative (0.000). It evokes anger (41.1%), makes the audience scared (73.4%), affects the audience's mood (46.7%), promotes extremism and violence (41.4%), reinforces distrust and hatred for public officials (57.5%), increases the audience blood pressure (20.1%), significantly (0.000) reduces media exposure and gives joy to some (9%). As a result of the negative effects, 211 (56.1%) respondents preferred good news reports to bad news reports. To mitigate the negative effects of bad news reports on media audiences, this study recommends that journalists should adopt the silver lining approach to news reporting. The approach warrants journalists to focus more on positive features in bad occurrences.

“…What is lacking is "a thorough reflection on the social and personal meaning journalism can have in the context of the 21st century" (Drok, 2018, p. 274). In addition, as pointed out by Drok (2018, p. 274), the challenges journalism is facing, on the one hand, the financial crisis, i.e., diminishing numbers of people willing to pay for news (Newman et al, 2023, p. 11), and on the other, its functional crisis, i.e., diminishing relevance of news to the general public (Castells-Fos et al, 2023), are seen by the industry as one and the same. Scholars such as Creech and Nadler (2018, p. 182) agree, writing that an overfocus on innovation as a way to meet journalism's challenges comes at the expense of "normative concerns about journalism's democratic purpose.…”

This article delves into the factors driving change in the UK’s public-interest news sector, pinpointing key uncertainties that shape its future. Through a participatory action research approach and scenario planning, the study News Futures 2035, seeks to answer the pivotal question: How can the UK ensure the ongoing supply of trustworthy, public-interest news? It stands out for its unique focus, enriching the debate among industry, academia, policymakers, and civil society on safeguarding the sector’s future. The research identified two primary, unpredictable elements with significant influence: the realm of policies, regulations, and governance; and the industry’s capacity for innovation to maintain the relevance of public-interest news for all stakeholders. The study highlights the indispensable role of collaborative action research and continuous dialogue among key stakeholders. It emphasizes the need for structured, cooperative efforts to navigate the complexities of policy, regulation, and consumer relevance, introducing the concept of back-channel deliberations, akin to track 2 diplomacy, as a valuable strategy for engaging diverse stakeholders in informal yet structured discussions. This method promises to foster a platform for innovative solutions and mutual understanding, addressing the challenges to the future supply of public-interest news. The participants’ commitment to advancing this dialogue through a dedicated forum underlines the importance of ongoing stakeholder engagement to ensure the sector’s relevance, sustainability, and societal impact.

Systematic literature reviews (SLRs) are an effective way of mapping a research field and synthesizing research evidence. However, especially in communication research, SLRs often include diverse theories and methods, which come with a considerable downside in terms of reproducibility and replicability. As a response to this problem, the present article introduces the method of standardized sampling for systematic literature reviews (STAMP). The method is a structured, four-stage approach that is centered around score-based screening decisions. Originating from principles of standardized content analysis, a method common in communication research, and supplementing established guidelines like Cochrane or PRISMA, the STAMP method contributes to more transparent, reproducible, and replicable SLR sampling processes. As we illustrate throughout the article, the method is adaptable to various SLR types. The article also discusses the method’s limitations, such as potential coder effects and comparatively high resource intensity. To facilitate the application of STAMP, we provide a comprehensive guideline via the Open Science Framework that offers a succinct overview for quick reference and includes practical examples for different types of SLRs.
