    Study Notes

    Sociology of Communication

    • Sociology is a scientific discipline examining social structures, human behavior, organizations, and institutions. It studies how societies are formed and maintained through institutions like family, school, church, workplace, government, and media.
    • Media, a multi-faceted concept, includes technology (TV, computers, phones), commercial enterprises (news corporations), and a relational environment impacting storytelling and culture. It acts as a mediator between technology and people, and can be categorized by technological specifications, aesthetic features, and industrial components. Photography juxtaposes perception and reality, and media encompasses various forms like music, movies, books, comics, and video games.
    • Mediated communication brings humans and cultural objects together (books, music), allowing cultural engagement. The printing press in the 15th century was a key early mediator, and it has transformed knowledge access.

    Interpersonal Communication

    • Communication is a sequential process (sender, receiver, channel, noise, destination). However, it is not linear. Communication requires two subjects and every action is a form of communication.
    • Meaning is co-created through exchanges of symbols, which vary across cultures and languages. A dialogical model emphasizes reciprocity to understand the other. Interaction and modification of one's framework are essential.

    Interactionism

    • Interactionism posits that mind and body interact. Social interaction involves people orienting their behavior based on exchanged information. Social interactions include front-region (mask-on) and back-region (true self) performances.

    Mass Communication System

    • Mass Media is an institutionalized production and diffusion of symbolic goods via mass-communication, a form of broadcasting.
    • Mass markets and industries focus on homogeneity of consumers to lower costs. For instance, the Fordism paradigm links mass production and consumption through wage growth and increased productivity.
    • Today's mass is heterogeneous rather than homogeneous.
    • Media effects theories speculate on the power of media; effects can be strong or weak, and audience can be passive or active. Different methodologies are considered, from speculation to empiricism.

    Paradigms

    • A paradigm defines a scientific discipline's focus, methods, and interpretation during a particular period. Moving from one paradigm to another involves scientific revolutions.
    • Strong media effects, for instance, the Magic Bullet Theory, view media as powerful manipulators of a passive audience. This theory was alarmist, based on speculation, and an asymmetric communication model.
    • Behaviorism connects with communication by proposing deterministic cause-and-effect.

    Theories of Media Effects

    • The Persuasion Theory refines the stimulus-response model by considering audience psychology (Selective Exposure, Selective Perception, Selective Memorization). It emphasizes individual differences and indirect influences.
    • The Limited Effects Theory contrasts the powerful media in the magic bullet theory and argues for an active audience.
    • The Uses and Gratifications Theory proposes active audiences seeking specific media needs, such as cognitive, affective, and social integration.
    • The Spiral of Silence Theory argues that individuals conform to dominant opinions to avoid social isolation, leading to a silencing of minority views.
    • The Cultivation Theory posits that extensive TV viewing leads to a distorted view of reality (particularly violence)
    • The Agenda Setting Theory suggests media sets the agenda for what people think/discuss.

    Constructionism

    • Constructionism emphasizes that media constructs social reality and that social reality shapes media.

    Social Shaping of Technology (SST)

    • SST rejects technological determinism and argues human action shapes technology, it involves both choices and unpredictability. Different social groups interpret and use technology in different ways (design flexibility).

    Social Construction of Technology (SCOT)

    • SCOT argues that technology is a boundary object, used and interpreted differently by various groups. Design, invention, and use are shaped by social negotiations.

    New Media

    • New media is a socio-technical phenomenon, combining engineering, media production and socio-historical context characterized by recombinations of existing technologies and characteristics like ubiquity, interactivity, and network-based communication.
    • Social Media Logic, through programmability, popularity, connectivity, and datafiction, has altered communication. Algorithms affect content visibility and user interactions.

    Big Data and Algorithms

    • Big Data, delivered by algorithms, presents a potentially misleading representation of reality; it's prone to manipulation.

    Convergence Culture

    • Convergence involves the integration of media technologies, industries, and consumer behaviors (economic, technical, and media convergence), creating greater participatory, flexible consumption of media. This is evident in fandom and creative consumption.

    Storytelling and Strategies

    • Storytelling is a powerful strategy in business, branding, and personal branding. It establishes empathy, creates value, and engages audiences by connecting with individual and shared experiences (audience's story, brand's story, current issues). Content marketing differs from storytelling.
    • Storytelling strategies consider situation, problem, solution to connect with audiences' fears and hopes. Key factors include understanding the audience, defining a plot, selecting the right channel and verifying effectiveness.
