“…We proposed a perspective on media users' attitudes and beliefs 'guiding' how they construct notions of old and new in making sense of media. Therefore, we used the concept of media ideology and operationalized it as comprising the three dimensions of rhetoric, everyday experiences, and emotions suggested by Natale (2016a).…”

“…By investigating personal experiences, knowledge, beliefs, and emotions, it is possible to understand how media users renegotiate 'oldness' and 'newness' personally as well as collectively with others. Consequently, we do not argue that the personal perception is isolated because it is the result of collective efforts of renegotiation on multiple levels of society within different social arrangements and cultural contexts individuals are embedded in (Bolter and Grusin, 1999;Natale, 2016a).…”

On the relativity of old and new media: A lifeworld perspective

It is an old, yet, accurate observation that the ‘newness’ of media is and most probably will continue to be a catalyst for research in media and communication studies. At the same time, there are numerous academic voices who stress that studying media change demands an awareness of the complexities at play interweaving the new with the old and the changes with the continuities. Over the last decades, compelling theoretical approaches and conceptualizations were introduced that aimed at grasping what defines old and new media under the conditions of complex, disruptive media change. Drawing from this theoretical work, we propose an empirical approach that departs from the perception of media users and how they make sense of media in their everyday affairs. The article argues that an inquiry of media change has to ground the construction of media as old or new in the context of lifeworlds in which media deeply affect users on a daily basis from early on. The concept of media ideology (Gershon, 2010a, 2010b) is used to investigate notions of ‘oldness’ and ‘newness’ people develop when they renegotiate the meaning of media for themselves or collectively with others. Based on empirical data from 35 in-depth interviews, distinct ways how the relativity but also relationality of old and new media are shaped against each other are identified. In the analysis, the article focuses on the aspects of rhetoric, everyday experiences, and emotions as well as on media generations, all of which inform media ideologies and thereby influence how media users define old and new media.

“…sharing and framing of health advice (Abramson, Keefe, & Chou, 2015). Though many researchers distinguish new from "old media" (Natale, 2016) broadcasters and news publishers have increased their penetration into social media platforms by extending their reach and connection with audiences (Kalogeropoulos, Cherubini, & Newman, 2016). A growing number of news and other talk shows are experimenting with the elicitation and incorporation of audience messaging into their dialogues with public figures (Bonini & Monclús, 2015).…”

Interactional Alarms: Experts’ Framing of Health Risks in Live Broadcast News Interviews

This study examined how experts frame health risks in real-time interactions with journalists. Though there is evidence that experts influence media framing of health risks, the ways they respond to journalists' agendas in real-time interactions have yet to be explored. This paper examines instances of risk assessment extracted from a corpus of news interviews to determine how expert assessments were requested and provided. The analysis reveals that experts rarely deliver their assessments neutrally but rather treat these exchanges as opportunities for framing or reframing the topic. Their framing is shown to be responsive to journalistic agendas and to those who experts understand to be accountable when their assessment is elicited. These findings suggest ways in which news interviews can be useful in health communication. The implications for experts, journalists, and public information officers who plan to use interviews for this purpose are discussed.

“…As Lesage and Natale (2019:5) explain, current media is characterized by "interdependency and complexity (…) making it harder to 'bracket' a specific medium from its surroundings." The relationship between new and old media has been further illustrated as one of interplay rather than replacement (Natale, 2016). Current media trends have also been described by Jenkins (2006) focusing on the concept of convergence as one where the media industry and users collide and find each other as definers of what, when and where content is produced.…”

#MigrantCaravan: The border wall and the establishment of otherness on Instagram

Recent media attention aimed at migrant caravans at the US-Mexico border has increased interest from different actors in the political and social spheres. Parallel to traditional and mainstream media, social media has become the prime context where narratives about the border develop, moulding broader societal perspectives on the immigration issue. Through a content and discourse analysis of 105 posts connected by the #MigrantCaravan or #CaravanaMigrante hashtags, we delved into how media representations of immigration on Instagram effectively establish otherness between the different characters involved in this phenomenon. The border wall emerges as one of the main components in these narratives and a symbol of the temporal and spatial stages of the migratory journey. Meanwhile, the voice of the main character, the migrant, is mostly absent, often conveyed through biased views, filtered by the opinions of posters about immigration and characterized by new narrative configurations enabled by the Instagram format.
