Abstract: Stories about crime provide several necessary ingredients for the successful marketing of news-concrete events with powerful impact on ordinary people, drama and emotion, and, above all, attention-getting visuals.The special attraction of television to crime is reflected in the content of local television news. In a recent study of fifty-six different cities, crime was the most prominently featured subject in the local news (Klite, Bardwell, and Salzman 1997). In some cities, crime accounted for more than 75 p… Show more

“…On the other hand, if negative media images about Latinos and welfare are less prevalent and having more Latinos in a state makes whites feel more positive toward them, then it is reasonable that effects will depend on the ethnic context. 31 There exists an extensive literature on the influence the media or political elites have on attitudes about race (Gilliam and Iyengar 2000;Valentino, Hutchings, and White 2002), racial inequality (Iyengar 1991), poverty (Gilens 1996a;Iyengar 1990Iyengar , 1991, as well as attitudes toward welfare and other programs for the poor (Mendelberg 2001;Nelson and Kinder 1996). Given that whites are more likely to see blacks depicted unfavorably in the national media, it is curious that the coefficient on the Latino work ethic variable is larger than the coefficient on the black work ethic variable in disproportionately white states.…”

“…Departing from the recently shown relationship between media use, general taste scheme, and cultural capital on the one hand and attitudes on the other (Bryson, 1996;Elchardus & Siongers, 2003, 2007, 2009a, 2009bGilliam Jr, 2002;Romer et al, 2003;van Eijck & Lievens, 2008), and the findings of some studies suggesting a cultural component of homonegativity (e.g. Osborne & Wagner, 2007), this paper has as its main goal to explore the relationship between cultural capital, expressed by lifestyles, and homonegativity, controlled for the standard model of homonegativity.…”

“…Recently, it has been shown that a relationship exists between (mass) media use and attitudes (Elchardus & Siongers, 2007, 2009aGilliam Jr, 2002;Romer, Jamieson, & Aday, 2003). In this regard, it has been argued that it is not the explicit content of a media message that might influence attitudes, but rather the emotions, style, structure and 'hidden' messages in the symbolic system (Elchardus & Siongers, 2009a).…”

“…Studies of content analysis have shown that minorities tend to be portrayed in association with negative terms, such as delinquency or terrorism (Dixon and Linz, Media Exposure and Attitudes towards Immigrants 2000; Entman and Rojecki, 2000;ter Wal, 2002). For example, in United States television, it is typical for minorities to be portrayed in relation with poverty, crime or violence (Dixon and Linz, 2000;Entman and Rojecki, 2000;Gilliam and Iyengar, 2000). In fact, the same occurs in the European context (ter Wal, 2002).…”

“…In fact, the same occurs in the European context (ter Wal, 2002). Therefore, current studies assume that these recurrent stereotypes generate negative attitudes and beliefs (Dixon, 2008;Gilliam and Iyengar, 2000). In Spain, Igartua et al (2011), based on the framing theory and an experimental methodological approach, analyzed the cognitive, attitudinal and emotional effects of media framing on processing of news regarding immigration.…”
