The Lifestyle Of The "Urban Tribe", Nichelle D. Mcnabb, Rachel Friedman
The Lifestyle Of The "Urban Tribe", Nichelle D. Mcnabb, Rachel Friedman
Communications Faculty Scholarship
It was once the norm for people to get married in their early twenties,
perhaps right after college or maybe during college. Once married, there was
the need to start a family as soon as possible. However, nowadays, people
appear to be substituting (at least for this period of time after college) the
traditional family structure with a new one – the “urban tribe.” This paper
takes a critical approach to examining portrayals of rituals in “urban tribes”
in two television shows – Will & Grace and Friends in which we argue that
the progressive elements of these shows counter …
Why A Black Baptist Community Uses Christian Media: An Ethnographic Treatment Of A Working-Class Community Where Christian Media Use Is Shaped By Sacred Tenets, Social Influences And Personal Factors, Eric K. Jones
Communications Faculty Scholarship
As aspiring Christians, this African American Baptist community faces intense societal pressures. These pressures work in conjunction with the following things to help shape their continued struggle to live righteous lives - their convictions in the Baptist faith, their church and work environments and their personal and familial experiences. This ethnographic study examines how they socially construct rituals of Christian media use that help them do the following things; negotiate feelings of guilt and moral conflict, prepare for life’s difficult challenges, and form meaningful social bonds with others. This study extends the literature on qualitative research conducted within the uses …

Not So Revolutionary After All: The Role Of Reinforcing Frames In Us Magazine Discourse About Microcomputers, Jean P. Kelly
Not So Revolutionary After All: The Role Of Reinforcing Frames In Us Magazine Discourse About Microcomputers, Jean P. Kelly
Communications Faculty Scholarship
This study investigates the role of media discourse in the hegemonic process by which the microcomputer became a common and trusted appliance in the USA during the early years of the technology's adoption: the 1980s to 1990s. A critical discourse analysis combined with framing analysis of four cases from consumer magazines — two advertisements and two editorial feature stories — reveals that a device heralded as 'revolutionary' was presented in fact using rhetoric that incorporated and legitimized traditional values, roles and practices such as capitalism. Any frames that potentially challenged existing social structures and power relationships were secondary and 'super-framed' …
A Communitarian Critique Of Dr. Phil: The Individualistic Ethos Of Self-Help Rhetoric, Eric K. Jones
A Communitarian Critique Of Dr. Phil: The Individualistic Ethos Of Self-Help Rhetoric, Eric K. Jones
Communications Faculty Scholarship
Communitarians have criticized liberals for being too focused on individual rights and responsibilities. But not many scholars have raised this criticism in the area of self-help rhetoric. To address this void, this essay formulates a communitarian critique of the rhetorical devices Dr. Phil uses to counsel guests on his television program. Many scholars have published insightful work on the communitarian/liberalism debate. This paper extends that debate by providing a moral critique of the rhetoric espoused in this popular form of self-help entertainment. Dr. Phil's persuasive appeals to his guests reveal how notions of individualism appear during the show's dialogue.

The Road To Tenure: Obstacles For The Media Adviser, Jeffrey M. Demas
The Road To Tenure: Obstacles For The Media Adviser, Jeffrey M. Demas
Communications Faculty Scholarship
Tenure has been the topic of various journal articles, but few have examined the process from within specific disciplines. This study surveyed 136 advisers of campus radio and television stations to ascertain what obstacles to tenure were associated with this position. Respondents reported that 1) advising a media outlet takes time from teaching and research; 2) advising the station and producing programming is not highly valued by tenure committees; 3) tenure is essential to job security because students tend to push the envelope in on-air activities, and; 4) tenure is an archaic concept and they have no interest in pursuing …

The Myth Of The Five-Day Forecast: A Study Of Television Weather Accuracy And Audience Perceptions Of Accuracy In Columbus, Ohio, Jeffrey M. Demas
Communications Faculty Scholarship
Television weather has not been studied in a communication journal since 1982, despite technological advances and a reliance on forecasts by a transient public.This study measured accuracy of weather forecasts in central Ohio and found that stations were very accurate in predicting within 48 hours,but extended forecasts were quite inaccurate. Interviews with local television weathercasters revealed that they use the extended forecast as a marketing tool. Telephone interviews with 315 central Ohio residents revealed that they not only rely on the five-day forecasts, but believe them to be accurate.Television was cited as the dominant resource for weather information, and a …
