Authors:Semih Bedir Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. This study explores the factors influencing the rising global appeal of Turkish TV series, focusing on the production process and economic dynamics with the global and local media distribution of these dramas. It assesses how market-driven media production conditions and creative professionals’ roles influence the creation of Turkish series by interviewing nine industry insiders. The study found that market-oriented media practices and executives’ understanding of Turkish audience preferences significantly direct the creative output, which is predominantly aimed at local viewers.

Authors:Senem B Çevik Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. While conspiracy theories have traditionally received attention from the Turkish public and political elite, recently, however, they have proliferated when explaining complex situations. This paper examines conspiracy theories in Turkey and the role of entertainment media, specifically the popular period drama, Payitaht: Abdülhamid, in mainstreaming conspiracy theories. Payitaht: Abdülhamid, as an ideological state apparatus, repurposes anti-Semitism as salient conspiracy theories by creating scapegoats and existential others. This paper argues that the state uses entertainment media to disseminate conspiracy theories and, in effect, endorses anti-Semitism. As a result, anti-Semitism has transformed from a marginal movement to a mainstream movement. Citation: Global Media and Communication PubDate: 2024-05-10T10:30:40Z DOI: 10.1177/17427665241242706

Authors:Zhan Zhang Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. This article examines the Huawei 5G controversy in Europe through the lens of social group dynamics and power shifts. It traces Huawei’s European journey from the deregulation of telecommunications in the 1980s to the company’s recent challenges following the US ban. Utilizing theories of the social construction of technology, the study investigates four meta-categories of social actors defining the 5G technology disruption in the Huawei situation, showcasing the evolving roles of various social groups and the impact of geopolitical rivalry.

Authors:Ayleen Cabas-Mijares, Sara Shaban, Cristina Mislán Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. This study presents a textual analysis of the discourses that emerged in Mexican national newspapers and on Twitter about Donald Trump’s calls for a border wall in 2017. As the case of Israel’s border wall became entangled in this discussion, discourse in print and social media engaged in a re-evaluation of alliances and solidarities between Mexico, the Jewish-Mexican community and Israel. The findings show print and online media discourse to be remarkably consistent in terms of the voices that were elevated, the targets of criticism, and the enabling of vilifying narratives about the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation.

Authors:Mohamad Hamas Elmasry, Mohammed el-Nawawy Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. This content analysis examined posts and user comments on four of the most followed Egyptian newspaper Facebook pages: Al-Masry Al-Youm, Al-Youm Al-Saba’, Al-Shorouk and Al-Ahram. The purpose of the analysis was to assess the extent to which Egyptians are able to navigate ongoing government authoritarianism to self-express online. Contrary to expectations, the results indicate that Facebook page size appears to be a much more important factor in dictating the conditions of Egyptian news spheres than editorial policies and ownership structures. Overall, this suggests that current authoritarian conditions in Egypt have rendered editorial lines relatively unimportant.

Authors:Huiling Ding, Yeqing Kong Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. As a global technoscientific form involving various forces and stakeholders, research and development (R&D) in artificial intelligence (AI) transcends corporate, national and institutional boundaries. Incorporating transnational rhetorical analysis and corpus-assisted discourse analysis, this article examines the global cultural flows surrounding AI constructed in official and media discourses in the US and China. We propose a new theoretical concept of knowledgescape that expands the toolkits of global flows and provides new explanatory power about global innovation and competition. This concept sheds light on the global processes, mechanisms and power dynamics of the production, dissemination, consumption and contestation of cutting-edge knowledge.

Authors:Vincent Pak-Hong Wong Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. This paper examines the counter-violent extremism and anti-terrorism measures in Australia, China, France, the United Kingdom and the United States by investigating how governments leveraged internet intermediaries as their surrogate censors. Particular attention is paid to how political rhetoric led to legislation passed or proposed in each of the countries studied, and their respective restrictive measures are compared against the recommendations specified by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression. A typology for international comparison is proposed, which provides further insights into a country’s policy focus.

Authors:Sujatha Sosale, Tania Cantrell Rosas-Moreno Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. Drawing from nation-branding as a recent development in contemporary globalization, and new middle power theory that examines hierarchies of nations, we used thematic textual analysis to examine business press coverage of the IBSA (India, Brazil, South Africa) consortium for business news representations and the positioning of IBSA nations in the global arena. Analysis of coverage in India’s The Financial Express, Brazil’s Valor Econômico and South Africa’s Business Day revealed that regional economic leadership, strengths in trade and technology, development aid and the consortium’s collective engagement in global activism inform the business press’ positioning of the IBSA countries as new middle powers.

Authors:Augusto Santos Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. International broadcasting services are typically designed to serve public diplomacy and soft power objectives. Traditionally, Western powers have explored and benefited from this state-sponsored media category. However, countries in the Global South, like Brazil, have endeavoured to establish cross-border television services to bolster their international presence. This paper scrutinizes TV Brasil Internacional as a case study, examining its designated functions, management, and funding models. The research illuminates through document surveys and semi-structured interviews that while the channel initially reflected Brazil’s external policies and public service ideals, structural alterations enabling increased governmental intervention alongside budget cuts rendered the international service dormant.

Authors:Abdullahi Tasiu Abubakar Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. This article explores the patterns and consequences of transnational audiences’ engagement with global media in the digital age, focusing on experiences in Africa. It examines Nigerians’ interactions with the BBC World Service, and draws on active audience theory and Joseph Nye’s soft power concept to unpick their complex relationship. Using documentary analysis, focus groups and individual interviews, the study unpacks how Nigerians deploy digital devices to engage with the BBC – and how the broadcaster leverages this to extend its influence. The impacts of digital technologies on participatory programming and audience interactivity – and the theoretical implications – are also analysed.

Authors:Bereket Wondimu Wolde, Amanuel Gebru Woldearegay Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. Since Ethiopia’s 2018 transition, sporadic ethnic and political violence and conflict and inter-group divisions have brought the nation to its knees. This study aims to assess the presence of the Hostile Media Phenomenon (HMP) among audiences of Ethiopian private, regional and federal television channels. Survey data were gathered from 600 participants living in Addis Ababa City, Amhara and Oromia regional states and were purposely chosen based on their historical and political dominance in the country. The study examined six different television channels found in the three regions: Oromia Broadcast Network (OBN), Amhara Broadcast Corporation, Addis TV, Wlata TV, Fana Broadcast Corporation (FBC) and Ethiopian Broadcast Corporation (EBC). The results of this study indicate that the regional states’ television channels play a major role in intensifying the hostile media phenomenon as well as in motivating violence and conflict among different regional states and groups of people.

Authors:Daniel Barredo Ibáñez, Paulo Carlos López-López, Daniel Javier de la Garza Montemayor Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. Participating in social networks has become a controversial phenomenon. In this study, we explore the relationship between the type of social network used by citizens of 18 Latin American countries (moderated by age) and satisfaction with democracy, based on the mediation carried out by satisfaction with life and economic self-placement. To do so, we have prepared a moderated mediation analysis with the survey carried out by Latinobarómetro in 2018 and in 2020. The results confirm an indirect effect between the networks included and satisfaction with democracy, mediated by the proposed variables, in a majority of the cases.

Authors:Wail Ismail Abdel Barry, Mamdouh Abdallah Mohamed Abdellatif, Haitham Gouda Moayad Abstract: Global Media and Communication, Ahead of Print. There is a correlative relationship between mediatization and social interaction. Communication scholars have paid attention to this relationship. We argue that mediatization involves the incorporation of various patterns of interaction among users of social media platforms. We used two theoretical approaches, namely mediatization and symbolic interaction. We surveyed a purposive sample that we selected according to certain criteria. Regression analysis revealed the correlative relationship between the dimensions of mediatization over social media platforms and the patterns of symbolic interaction among users.
