“…The supporters of conservative parties such as AKP and MHP tend to support offline and online media censorship. Moreover, once again, in line with the existing literature (Webster et al 2016), religiosity has a positive relationship with the support for censorship of moral issues. We see that ethnic and sectarian minority groups form a relatively livelier basis of resistance to censorship tendencies.…”

“…Religiosity is also found to be linked to support for censorship. For example, Webster et al (2016) find that individuals with higher degrees of religiosity have a higher tendency to support censoring satirical religious cartoons. Fisher et al (1994) also find that those who consider themselves more religious are more likely to want to censor sexual content.…”

The increasing popularity of online news and social media sites has made it more difficult than ever to control the flow of information. However, governments across the world are successfully continuing to restrict access to content that adversely affects their interests. This study examines the determinants of public support for censorship, as public support is likely to influence governments’ ability to regulate information. Using the Balance Theory and nationally representative survey data from Turkey, we analyze the support for censorship of both online and offline media. Our results suggest that pro-censorship attitudes are positively associated with peoples’ sympathy for the censor.

“…All four interviewees had published cartoons critiquing the Novopay project, and three had done so multiple times. We were not able to recruit Danish cartoonists due to the legacy of terrorist attacks on a Danish newspaper office in response to religious satire, which had driven some cartoonists into hiding (see Webster et al, 2016) and, thus, increased the difficulty in reaching them. We found New Zealand's national cartoon archive 1 helpful to recruit the New Zealander cartoonists, but we could not use such an archive to recruit Danish cartoonists since the country lacked one.…”

Despite significant research into why IT projects fail, the frequency and impact of failure remains high. Attention has shifted to understanding and guiding de-escalation (i.e., reversing failure). This major turnaround process initially benefits from negative feedback on the status quo and requires an organization to break its established frames and re-establish its legitimacy with stakeholders (Pan & Pan, 2011). We consider the role of satire as a lens to challenge dominant frames and better understand stakeholders during the shift towards de-escalation based on analyzing political cartoons about high-profile troubled public sector projects in New Zealand and Denmark. Drawing on the theories of technological frames of reference, legitimacy, and stakeholder salience, we show how cartoonists expose and critique the normative framing of dysfunctionality to act as field-level evaluators of legitimacy. Through counterframing, exaggeration, and metaphor, they emphasize the urgency of citizen users' claims while undermining the legitimacy of powerful stakeholders. We extract lessons for stakeholder management and communication during project turnaround and suggest that satire could be a valuable addition to diagnostic and planning tools during deescalation. We identify that sensitivity to framing of IT projects exists in the public realm, which reinforces calls for organizations to consider institutional framing.

“…Previous research has found that prior attitudes towards a controversial issue influences the evaluation of climate opinion around the issue (Sude et al, 2019). In other words, because of the (in)congruence between the message and publics' prior attitudes, these attitudes such as IHR could potentially influence how socially undesirable or desirable people perceive the message to be, and thus would be less or more likely to perform communicative actions such as forefending and forwarding, or in the opposite scenario, increase their support for censorship (Webster et al, 2016). Hence the following hypothesis:…”

On Chinese social media, the stigmatization of homosexuals is tightly connected to the belief that they have a higher risk of contraction than others. However, scientists’ estimation of such risks is selectively framed on media outlets, and could cause confusion about and even polarization around the topic. In the theoretical framework of motivated reasoning, the current study showcases a cognition-intention link in the processing of scientific information regarding homosexuals’ high HIV/AIDS prevalence in China. An online survey experiment ( N = 695) using different emphasis frames of the findings from a scientific report shows that ad hoc identification with homosexuals’ rights, and individualism, strongly moderates the direct effect of exposure to different messages on intention of message forwarding, and also the indirect effect mediated by the perception of scientists’ expertise.
