Media Habits

Journalists are not only storyteller but also they are the watchdog of the society for different dimensions. In the era of globalization when everything is changing very fast, the status of all human being is also changing with the same pace, whereas the status of Journalists in India especially in Rajasthan are stagnant and comparatively not standard.

The Media habits and Socioeconomic backgrounds of the Journalists are identified by Questionnaire especially designed for this purpose. Data processing was done with the help of statistical tools and some manual calculations. It is recommended through this paper that the actions should be taken by the Print Media agencies to improve the Socioeconomic of the Print Journalists of Jaipur.Government of Rajasthan should take appropriate measures in this direction. And finally the Journalist should be highly skilled to cover their beats and related stories with due compassion and sincerity.

Technology habits have been objects of research for over 100 years and provided heuristic cases for the study of habits over the last two decades. This chapter traces the history of research on information and communication technologies in daily life, with an eye toward measurement and conceptualization problems. Similar to the new technologies of earlier eras, the prominence of current habitual manifestations has raised challenging questions for both researchers and societies. These newer media habits may exaggerate core habitual mechanisms by providing a wide spectrum of potential cues, possible contexts, and complex rewards-resulting in dynamic habits that appear to be "special". We discuss how research on technology habits serves to uncover the assumptions, boundaries, and moderators of habit, while calling for a revised approach to address recurring problems in the literature. Altogether, the chapter clarifies how technology habit research contributes to a broader understanding of habitual behaviour.

Den svenska allmänheten är ett nyhetsintresserat folk. Det visar resultaten från 2016 års nationella SOM-undersökning. Nästan alla tar på ett eller annat sätt del av nyheter, men valet av nyhetsmedier och plattformar varierar stort mellan olika grup-per i samhället. Nyhetskonsumtion på nätet är starkt förankrad i befolkningen, inte minst bland unga. De etablerade mediernas nyhetssajter nyttjas flitigt i vissa grupper medan andra väljer att konsumera nyheter via sociala medier. Men fortfarande lever såväl papperstidningen som tablåtittandet/-lyssnandet, även om den förra befinner sig i en utsatt situation. Den regelbundna pappersläsningen har dalat kraftigt, så även andelen hushåll med en morgontidningsprenumeration. Trots att svenska morgon-tidningar under senare år har lanserat digitala prenumerationsalternativ, föredrar prenumeranterna pappersalternativet. Detta är några av resultaten i det här kapitlet om det svenska folkets användning av nyhetsmedier. Kapitlet avser att belysa den svenska allmänhetens nyhetsintresse och nyhetsvanor. De övergripande frågeställningar som kapitlet kretsar kring är huruvida nyhetskonsumtion via digitala plattformar har stärkts ytterligare vid 2010-talets mitt och vilka grupper i samhället som främst väljer de digitala alternativen respektive papper/tablå. Inledningsvis fokuseras människors självskattade intresse för nyheter från olika områden, därefter belyses hur befolkningens nyhetskonsumtion har förändrats över tid under perioden 1986–2016.

New media have encroached into the lives of Middle Eastern youth in ways unimaginable just ten years ago.  Upon visiting any Middle Eastern city, observers are struck by the number of satellite dishes covering the diverse landscape, spanning the impoverished as much as the affluent neighborhoods.  Internet penetration rates across the region continue to grow exponentially, while governments in panic acknowledge this growth with hasty policies and regulations.  On almost every winding street of a Cairo, Beirut, or Damascene old town, a plethora of Internet cafes serve and entertain a vibrant youthful population.  Cell phone ringtones have become as familiar as calls to prayer.  Signs of youth increasingly succumbing to a global information saturated culture attract heated debates across the political, commercial, cultural and religious spheres, with predictions about its impact ranging from an acceleration in democratization and development, to a facilitation of Western cultural colonization and a breakdown in social traditions and norms.  Despite this intense interest in how, why and what media do Middle Eastern youth consume and produce and with what potential effects, there remains a dearth of scientific data critically needed to inform this topic.

In light of how the knowledge society may give rise to new forms of inequity in schools, the purpose of this article is to examine the stratification of Swedish schoolteachers' access to and use of ICT. The empirical data consist of a nationwide survey conducted in 2010, involving 6000 Swedish teachers in all grades (except pre-school and university). Accounting for teachers' age, gender, grade, and principal organization, bivariate analyses were conducted. The study finds significant differences between teacher's age and principal organization, indicating a growing gap between teachers in public versus independent schools. The finding is discussed in relation to the current research and its potential consequences for equitable learning activities.

Different kinds of media play significant roles in consumer behavior specifically in evaluating and choosing products or services. Actually, consumers are attracted to different kinds of products through a variety of media such as television, newspaper, magazine, internet, printing material, etc. In fact, dissimilarity among male and female in terms of their perceptions and taste clarify the prominent role of gender in this issue and contribute ways in which personality characteristic of audience may shape the kind of media which they choose to be exposed to.

The ethnographic research that I am undertaking as part of my doctoral work will demonstrate the formation of media use habits in a digital environment among ten toddlers from their earliest months until they reach the age of two. The study includes numerous filmed observations and in-depth interviews, as well as media and technology use logs. The findings will display the emergence and development of touchscreen-based digital media use in early childhood and explain the contribution of the initial environment (parents and siblings) in the formation of infants and toddlers as media consumers. Moreover, the study will determine how the children’s use of media changes over time in terms of quantity and quality of parental mediation.

Sociala medier växer sig allt starkare som nyhetsdistributör i den svenska befolkningen. Det gäller framför allt bland unga, där sociala medier dominerar mycket starkt. Bland svenskar i medelåldern präglas ny-hetsvanorna däremot av en mer blandad konsumtion av traditionella och digitala plattformar. Och för de älds-ta gäller fortfarande nyheter på tablå och papper. Men trots de digitala mediernas generellt starka förankring i befolkningen är det fortfarande papperstidningen som gäller för dem som prenumererar på någon morgontid-ning. Det gäller oavsett vilken åldersgrupp prenumeran-terna tillhör. Trots att de flesta svenska morgontidningar under senare år har lanserat renodlat digitala prenumerationsalternativ, tycks prenumeranterna fortfarande föredra pappersalternativet. Detta är några av resulta-ten i det här kapitlet om det svenska folkets nyhetsvanor.
