TL;DR: This paper explored attributes that correlate with the perception of news overload and the extent to which Spaniards feel overloaded, or not, with the amount of news available, and explored the following attributes: demographics (age, gender, and income), news interest, and consumer paying behavior for online news.
Abstract: This article explores attributes that correlate with the perception of news overload and the extent to which Spaniards feel overloaded, or not, with the amount of news available. Specifically, this study explores the following attributes: demographics (age, gender, and income), news interest, and consumer paying behavior for online news. The research methods employ a quantitative, explorative approach with data collected from an online survey of 1,439 Spanish adults, 18 years and older, in January 2013.Finally, managerial and theoretical implications are discussed.

TL;DR: This article examined online news about the gang rape of a teenage girl after she left her homecoming dance in Richmond, CA and found that framing implicated social structures by referencing gender socialization as a cause of rape.
Abstract: This study examines online news about the gang rape of a teenage girl after she left her homecoming dance in Richmond, CA. I analyze news framing in the 49 relevant stories that appeared on SFGate.com from 2009 to 2011, when 7 suspects were ordered to stand trial individually. My goals were to determine the dominant meanings in online news about gang rape and to illuminate how coverage invoked identity discourse. Findings suggest that frames debated the crime's causes, with a variety of sources offering competing explanations, many of which invoked identity discourses tying intersections of gender, race, and class with place. In contrast to previous research, some framing implicated social structures by referencing gender socialization as a cause of rape. Language: en

TL;DR: The frames used in news coverage of same-sex marriage before and after the decision and tone of coverage by frame and medium are examined, suggesting that frames and tone differed by medium.
Abstract: In June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court made a landmark decision to legalize marriage for same-sex couples amid nationwide debate and media coverage of this controversial issue. Using a content analysis of newspaper articles and television transcripts (N = 286) from top news outlets, this study examines the frames used in news coverage of same-sex marriage before and after the decision and tone of coverage by frame and medium. Findings suggest that frames and tone differed by medium, with television generally presenting more negative coverage and print more positive coverage. Results also suggest that some coverage frames were more negative than others and that the dominant frames of coverage differed from pre- to post-decision. This study helps improve our understanding of how the public was informed before and after a historic decision and illuminates the differences between frame and tone of coverage by medium, and by medium over time.

TL;DR: For example, this article analyzed news coverage of major presidential addresses in the New York Times from 1933 to 2013 and found that echoing has an inverse relationship with the inclusion of perspectives that run counter to the president's views.
Abstract: This study seeks to extend and clarify Domke’s (2004) theory of the “echoing press.” Developing a conceptual argument about the interrelationships among several key theories of the U.S. president–press relationship, we analyze news coverage of major presidential addresses in the New York Times from 1933 to 2013. Our analysis clarifies the consistent but modest echoing effect that has occurred over the past 8 decades, and broadens the theory to encompass not only wartime communications but all foreign policy contexts. We also rule out several alternative explanations for the echoing effect, and show that echoing has an inverse relationship with the inclusion of perspectives that run counter to the president’s views. Among the many important relationships that scholars of communication have sought to understand is the relationship between the U.S. president and the American news media.This only makes sense:The president is among the most significant political figures in the world and the news media are the president’s primary vehicle for public communication. Consequently, what the president says and how that message circulates throughout news media are issues worthy of scholarly exploration. Not surprisingly, a substantial body of research has grown from such exploration. Much of this scholarship has coalesced around a few key theories, most notably agenda setting/building (e.g., McCombs, 2004; McCombs & Shaw, 1993; Wanta, Stephenson, Turk, & McCombs, 1989), indexing (e.g., Althaus, Edy, Entman, & Phalen, 1996; Bennett, 1990; Bennett, Lawrence, & Livingston, 2007), and framing (e.g., Entman, 1993; Rowling, Jones, & Sheets, 2011)—the last of which has been most fully specified in the politics–press context via Entman’s (2004) “cascading activation” model. Each of these theories, in its own way, provides needed insight into if and how the president and other political elites are able to meet one of their central goals: getting their chosen perspectives disseminated via the press.
