Weeks 7-13News values & Media Logic:

firmly with the media
- CNN Effect = News Public Opinion Pressure on
government

publicity
1. Dramatic
2. Planned Mediatization
3. Clearly marked in time & space

E.g. Bush's speech to announce the end of the Mediation
war.
- Mediatization = a structural process where institutions
(especially political) become more dependent on media
- Mediation = communication and interaction through
media in concrete situations i.e. transferring infomation through media
- Mediatization is a four-dimensional concept
1. people in society are the media
2. media are independent of political institutions
3. media have their own logic
4. political actors are trying to influence media
- The four-dimensions together decide the degree to which politics or
society is mediated
1. The extent to which media becomes
the main source of infomation
2. The extent of in/dependency of
political institution
3. the extent that content is determined
by news values and driven by the need
to reach a large audience
4. the extent that political actors adjust
their behaviour/perceptions
- Media Logic = the power to define who & what is (politically) relevant lies
firmly with the media
1. Media & media attention are important
2. Producers of media have their own logic intermedia agenda
setting & fast competition
, 3. Actors anticipate demands from the media
4. These media rules displace other considerations (i.e., entertaining
news over informative news)

practices of mainstream news media this means that events are more
likely to become news, or be reported if they fit a specific criterion
- Who decides what news is important?
1. The gatekeeper individual journalists have little choice
(background characteristics have marginal influence), but the
personal norms & values of more powerful journalists do
2. the owner/editor-in-chief
3. the advertiser indirect influence
4. other factors
- Routines makes a lot of news predictable:
1. Beat = certain journalists will focus on a specific area
2. News net = journalists stay at the happening location, and use a net
to 'catch' news
3. News calendar = times that lead to a lot of news E.g. election

4. media genic
5. socially & geographically close
- A big influencer on the news is Commercialisation:

journalism
2. Audience ask for specific news (i.e. infotainment, tabloidization,
personalization, sensation) media respond to needs of audience
- News values have evolved (1965-2001), some values have been revised
but the three new ones are entertainment, good news and newspaper
