Multimodal analysis of disinformation and misinformation

“…van Dijk and P. Bourdieu for their discourse analysis ([73]; with literature cited);one paper drew upon S. Hall’s work for the analysis of media power and class power and on N. Cook’s work for analysis of music ([94]; with literature cited).Seven papers engaged in content analysis while using approaches originating from political communication, sociology, history, philosophy and anthropology, and anchored in: philosophy of language (epistemic activism, resistance, friction) based on work by J. Stanley’s work ([74]; with literature cited);framing analysis (grounded theory) based on works by R. Entman, D. Scheufele, D. Tewksbury & S.D. Reese ([97]; with literature cited);human geography as rooted in anthropology, history and sociology ([85]; with literature cited);cultural sociology (grounded theory) ([68]; with literature cited);theories of cognitive dissonance, parasocial interaction, social identification (grounded theory) ([93]; with literature cited);analysis by considering theories of gendered framing [67];an ethnographic technique, which is document-driven and across multiple sites, is used by Krafft & Donovan [53], based on the principles of Geiger & Ribes 2011.Six papers did not have a clearly defined theoretical and methodological framework [66,77,83,86,87,92]. Out of 22 papers only 12 engaged in multimodal analysis of content which relied on a defined theoretical and methodological framework.…”

Latent Cultural Bias in Soundtracks of Western News Coverage From Early COVID-19 Epicenters

“…Our perception of the world around us is freighted by cultural values acquired through a lifetime of mediated interpretations (Kassabian, 2013 ). As Deaville's previous research has established, news music and sound tap into those affective predispositions that are exploited by the media (Deaville, 2006 , 2012 , 2019 ). The global news coverage of the pandemic cannot escape the meanings assigned to its soundtracks, which have been produced and consumed within a politics of affect, of “pre-subjective forces and intensities” (Spinks, 2001 , 24)—they have corresponded to culturally determined and politically driven biases (Demirtaş-Madran, 2020 ).…”
