“…Within the context of social media, individual media users -working in conjunction with content recommendation algorithmsserve a more significant gatekeeping function for their social network than was the case in the traditional media realm; and are increasingly reliant upon their social network to perform a gatekeeping function for them (Hermida, Fletcher, Korell, & Logan, 2012). Of course, via social media platforms individuals are building, maintaining, and (potentially) helping to inform social networks of much larger scale than typically could be achieved via traditional secondary gatekeeping processes such as word of mouth.…”

ABSTRACT:In the advent of societal issues surrounding minority groups, this paper investigates a significant such example in history (1992 Los Angeles Riots) to better understand how mainstream news media covered the story with regard to issues pertaining to key minority groups (blacks, Koreans). Utilizing theoretical frameworks such as media framing and the public sphere (Habermas, 1989), this paper examined how the Los Angeles Times framed issues regarding those minority communities before, during, and after the 1992 LA riots. Furthermore, the study analyzed audience discourse (letters to the editor) in the same time period to examine how the frames in news coverage compares with audience framing. Findings suggested that in the months after the riots, LAT significantly altered its coverage in a way that corresponded with the framing by its readers. Findings were then discussed in light of mass communication's relationship with society, especially for minority representation and framing.Key words: journalism; reporting; framing; race minorities; audiences. RESUMEN:En el advenimiento de las cuestiones sociales que rodean a los grupos minoritarios, este artículo investiga un ejemplo significativo en la historia (1992, Disturbios en los Ángeles) para comprender mejor cómo los principales medios de comunicación cubrieron la historia con respecto a temas pertenecientes a grupos minoritarios clave (negros, coreanos). Utilizando marcos teóricos como el encuadre de los medios de comunicación y la esfera pública (Habermas, 1989), este artículo examinó cómo el periódico Los Ángeles Times enmarca cuestiones sobre las comunidades minoritarias antes, durante y después de los disturbios de 1992 en la ciudad de Los Ángeles. Soo-Kwang Oh & Justin Hudson 124Revista de Comunicación 16 (2), 2017 IntroductionIn the United States alone, racial tension has become an important topic in the news-scores of cases involving racial profiling, police brutality and social movements have sprung up as a key issue in society (Blay, 2017). Such issues have also become a staple in the rest of the world, with immigration and refugee issues disrupting nation states in Europe and elsewhere globally (Teitelbaum, 2017). One of the problems associated with such issues is media coverage (HQR, 2017). How do news media cover and frame issues that signify racial conflict and tension among ethnic minorities in their audiences? Furthermore, how do the affected minorities respond to the coverage, and does this response influence how the news media further frame the issue? In the wake of the social tension resulting from various incidents involving minority groups, the researchers sought to better address the questions above by examining a prominent case from the past, the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. We believe doing so will shed light on the context and history regarding how media initially frame minority-related issues and how they those frames shift when media are faced with active audience discourse.News media provide coverage of newsworthy issues and foster...

“…However, an increasing number of media scholars have argued that for legacy media organisations, engaging, encouraging and assisting the audience in the circulation of media content is more important than having them participate in content production (Hermida et al, 2012;Singer et al, 2011). Naturally, these two ideas are interlinked in the sense that content in social media often acts as a social glue that connects people, such as when users view photographs on Instagram.…”

The diverse forms of participation in social media raise many methodological and ethical issues that should be acknowledged in research. In this paper, participation in social media is studied by utilising the framework of explicit and implicit participation. The focus is on the communicative and communal aspects of social media. The aim of the paper is to promote the reconsideration of what constitutes participation when online users create connections rather than content. The underlying argument is that research on social media and the development of methods should concentrate more on implicit forms of participation.
