Resisting the News : Engaged Audiences, Alternative Media, and Popular Critique of Journalism
Resisting the News brings together unique insights from activists and alternative-media users to offer a distinctive perspective on the problems of journalism today—and how to fix them. Using critical-cultural theory and, in particular, the conceptual frameworks of ritual communication and interpretive communities, this book examines how audiences filter their interpretations of mainstream news through the prisms of their identities and experiences with alternative media and political protest.Jennifer Rauch gives voice to alternative-media audiences and illuminates the cultural resources, values, assumptions, critical skills, and discursive strategies through which they make sense of their news environments.Drawing on a 15-year research project, Rauch employs a variety of qualitative, quantitative, and quasi-ethnographic methods, including focus groups, media-use diaries, close-ended surveys, and open-ended questions, to paint a layered portrait of liberal and conservative critiques of journalism. Shedding new light on popular theories about "how news works" and about "mass" audiences, this book will be useful to students, scholars, and teachers of political communication, journalism studies, media studies, and critical-cultural studies.

What are sensory cells, sensory organs, and senses?
Sensory cells are specialized cells that detect and respond to specific stimuli, such as light, sound, touch, taste, and smell. These cells are found in sensory organs, which are structures in the body that contain sensory cells and are responsible for detecting and transmitting sensory information to the brain. The senses, on the other hand, are the physiological capacities of organisms that provide data for perception. They include sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, and are essential for experiencing and interacting with the environment.
-
What is the difference between a primary sensory cell, a secondary sensory cell, and a sensory nerve cell?
Primary sensory cells are specialized cells that directly detect stimuli from the environment, such as light, sound, or touch. Secondary sensory cells receive signals from primary sensory cells and transmit them to the central nervous system. Sensory nerve cells, also known as sensory neurons, are responsible for transmitting the signals from secondary sensory cells to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted. In summary, primary sensory cells detect stimuli, secondary sensory cells relay the signals, and sensory nerve cells transmit the signals to the brain for processing.
-
What is sensory perception?
Sensory perception refers to the process of receiving and interpreting information from the environment through the senses. This includes the five main senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, as well as other sensory experiences such as balance, proprioception, and temperature. The brain then processes this sensory information to create a perception of the world around us, allowing us to interact with and understand our surroundings. Sensory perception is essential for everyday functioning and plays a crucial role in how we experience and navigate the world.
-
Are receptors sensory cells?
Receptors are not sensory cells themselves, but they are specialized proteins located on the surface of sensory cells. These receptors are responsible for detecting and responding to specific stimuli, such as light, sound, taste, or smell. When a receptor is activated by a stimulus, it triggers a series of biochemical reactions within the sensory cell, ultimately leading to the generation of a sensory signal that can be transmitted to the brain for processing. Therefore, while receptors are not sensory cells, they play a crucial role in the sensory process by detecting and transducing stimuli into neural signals.

Pop Culture, Politics, and the News : Entertainment Journalism in the Polarized Media Landscape
In Pop Culture, Politics, and the News, Joel Penney explores how pop culture news has taken on an important role in contemporary political discourse.Through coverage of topics like Hollywood diversity, celebrity controversy, and "cancel culture" backlash, entertainment journalism has emerged as a key source of political information and commentary, providing audiences with an accessible lens into some of the most hot-button issues of our time.Yet due to the "clickbait" economics of the polarized digital news business, the quality of entertainment journalism is often compromised, and consequently, people view pop culture coverage as "soft news" with little substance or public value.Very little is known about how this journalism is produced and consumed as a component of the digital news ecosystem.Moreover, we lack a measured sense of its potential impact on the political interests and knowledge of its audiences, the politics of the entertainment industry it covers, and the shape of public debate more broadly.Drawing on interviews with entertainment journalists and testimonials from news audiences who share these stories on social media, Joel Penney argues for the importance of reframing our understanding of impactful journalism and persuasive political communication when culture and identity have moved thoroughly to the center of U.S. public discourse. Moreover, Penney examines how audiences engage with this highly accessible and emotionally resonant form of journalism and use it as a resource for political expression and discussion, raising important questions about how it can serve as a bridge to public issue engagement as well as a potential distraction from on-the-ground political concerns.As a cutting-edge, data-rich analysis of the blurring boundaries between entertainment, politics, social media activism, and partisan journalism, Pop Culture, Politics, and the News makes a major contribution to public scholarship on the shifting digital information landscape.

Power and Loss in South African Journalism : News in the Age of Social Media
This timely collection of essays analyses the crisis of journalism in contemporary South Africa at a period when the media and their role are frequently at the centre of public debate.The transition to digital news has been messy, random and unpredictable.The spread of news via social media platforms has given rise to political propaganda, fake news and a flattening of news to banality and gossip.Media companies, however, continue to shrink newsrooms, ousting experienced journalists in favour of 'content producers'.Against this backdrop, Daniels points out the contribution of investigative journalists to exposing corruption and sees new opportunities emerging to forge a model for the future of non-profit, public-funded journalism.Engaging and dynamic, the book argues for the power of public interest journalism, including investigative journalism, and a diversity of voices and positions to be reflected in the news.It addresses the gains and losses from decolonial and feminist perspectives and advocates for a radical shift in the way power is constituted by the media in the South African postcolony.A valuable introduction to the confusion that confronts journalism students, it has much to offer practising media professionals.Daniels uses her years of experience as a newspaper journalist to write with authority and illuminate complex issues about newsroom politics. Interviews with alienated media professionals and a semi-autobiographical lens add a personal element that will appeal to readers interested in the inner life of the media.

What are artificial sensory organs?
Artificial sensory organs are devices designed to mimic the functions of natural sensory organs, such as the eyes, ears, and skin. These devices use advanced technology to detect and process sensory information, allowing individuals to perceive and interact with their environment in a way that is similar to natural sensory organs. Artificial sensory organs have the potential to enhance or restore sensory capabilities for individuals with disabilities, as well as to provide new sensory experiences for people without impairments. These technologies have the potential to revolutionize healthcare and human-computer interaction.

What are sensory nerve cells?
Sensory nerve cells, also known as sensory neurons, are specialized cells that transmit information from the body's sensory organs (such as the skin, eyes, ears, nose, and tongue) to the central nervous system. These cells are responsible for detecting various stimuli, such as touch, temperature, pain, and pressure, and converting these stimuli into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. Sensory nerve cells play a crucial role in allowing us to perceive and respond to our environment.
-
Why is sensory transduction necessary?
Sensory transduction is necessary because it allows the body to convert various forms of environmental stimuli, such as light, sound, touch, and chemical signals, into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the nervous system. This process is essential for the body to perceive and respond to its surroundings, allowing for the detection of potential dangers, the regulation of bodily functions, and the experience of sensations such as taste, smell, and touch. Without sensory transduction, the body would not be able to effectively interact with its environment and respond to changes in its surroundings.
-
How does sensory development progress?
Sensory development progresses through a series of stages, beginning with basic sensory experiences such as touch, taste, and smell in infancy. As children grow, they develop more refined sensory abilities, such as improved vision and hearing, and begin to integrate sensory information to make sense of their environment. This process continues into adolescence and adulthood, with individuals becoming more adept at interpreting and responding to sensory stimuli. Overall, sensory development progresses from basic sensory experiences to more complex and integrated sensory abilities as individuals mature.
