Aquila presents research at Feb. 20 colloquium

SoJ Web Report — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:43:05 +0000

Doctoral student Valerie Aquila will present “Smithsonian 9/11 Conversations: The role of engaged visitors in the creation of individual-level audience frames," at 4 p.m. Feb. 20 in the Ernie Pyle Hall lounge. Her talk is part of the school's Research Colloquium series.

Aquila’s study focuses on how groups within a specific online community maintained by the Smithsonian Institute National Museum of American History reflected on the ways that 9/11 had affected them, and their roles in memories of the event.

She studied 70 people in five groups engaged in a public discussion about 9/11 over the course of two weeks in fall 2011. The conversations yielded many recollections, ideologies and attitudes about 9/11, but only two frames emerged from the data: 9/11 as a current event and 9/11 as a pivotal moment in U.S. history. In her work, Aquila analyzes two frames, which she will use in follow-up studies to identify whether individual frames are present in media surrounding memorials of tragic events that affect communities.

IU’s recently formed American Student Radio took center stage during the mid-winter meeting of the scholastic journalism division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communications.

High School Journalism Institute director Teresa White and adjunct lecturer Sarah Neal-Estes presented “American Student Radio: Teaching and learning on a national stage,” at the meeting at the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Fla., Jan. 6-7. White moderated a panel that featured Neal-Estes and IU students Julia Meek and Barbara Anguiano.

They talked about the idea of the Web-based station. American Student Radio launched last fall and will be the first national student radio station produced by students, for students, regardless of their locations. Neal-Estes is director of the project, which also will serve as a way for IU audio storytelling students to showcase their work.

As a website, ASR also will allow students from any location to contribute work, such as podcasts. Contributors also will blog about the process of producing their work, inviting others to comment and make suggestions. The website is live now but Neal-Estes said the project should be in full swing later this month.

Several faculty and students will participate in the spring conference of the International Communication Association convention in Phoenix May 24-28.

The ICA promotes academic research worldwide, and its conference is designed to provide a forum to enable development and evaluation of communication research, according to its website.

Participants

Professor Emerita Christine Ogan’s paper, "The Role of Questionnaire Construction and Cognitive Interviewing in the Assessment of Children's Online Risk-Taking and other Activities,” will be presented at ICA. She is lead author with Turkan Karakus and Engin Kursun, both from Middle East Technical University.

Professor Radhika Parameswaran will be an invited speaker at the Global Communication and Social Change Division's extended mini-plenary session on shifts in power globally as they relate to culture and media. She will also be a discussant for two research panels, one on gender and modernity in Asia for the Ethnicity and Race in Communication Division, and the other on the women's movement and its media for the Feminist Scholarship Division.

Associate professor Owen V. Johnson will serve as a discussant on the panel, "Journalistic Professionalism Around the Baltic," organized by the Polish Communication Association, includes participants from Sweden, Russia, Poland and Lithuania, as well as from the United States.

Doctoral candidate Jaesik Ha's paper, “Health Care Reform vs. ObamaCare: Partisan Framing of FOX, MSNBC, NYT, and WSJ," has been accepted for presentation. It was developed and completed in professor Radhika Parameswaran's J614 Globalization, Media & Social Change last spring.

"Partisan Selective Exposure and Presidential Evaluation: Moderating Factors of the Priming Effect," by Jaesik Ha and co-author Sung Wook Ji, doctoral candidate in telecommunications, was selected for presentation.

Doctoral student Jihyang Choi has two papers accepted for presentation. “Another Challenge of Convergence: The Impact on Newspaper Journalists of the Convergence of Print Journalism with Social Media” was accepted by the Journalism Studies Division and “The Competition Between Frames and Counterframes in the U.S. Media's Social Construction of Global Warming” was accepted by the Environmental Communication Interest Group.

Doctoral student Bill W. Hornaday’s paper, “Journalistic Freedom and Effective News Reporting: Shifting U.S. Views Over Time?” has been accepted to the conference's Journalism Studies Division. It compared replies to open-ended questions from the 2002 and 2007 versions of The American Journalist survey series that concern perceived limits of job-related freedom for U.S. journalists, their views on whether their news organizations effectively inform the public, and how those perceptions are linked to commercial, organizational, source-based, professional/ethical, and self-imposed pressures.

The paper was produced in last spring's J660 The Global Journalist course taught by professors David Weaver and Lars Willnat.

Doctoral student Rosemary Pennington's paper, “Stepping into Modernity: Narratives of Egypt’s January 25 uprising in New York Times editorials,” has been accepted for presentation in the Journalism Studies division. Pennington's textual analysis showed that the editorial writers' understanding of the event was largely colored by historical colonial assumptions about the country and its people.

Doctoral students Shuo Tang is and Shi Li are authors of "Framing Earthquakes in China: A comparative study of news photos in Chinese and Western newspapers," which has been accepted for presentation.
