Hello. In my modest opinion, they are related. Greater KCP are achieved thanks to the learning. Additionally, I would say that is also related to absorptive capacity of organization too.

Do you think that the new media coverage increases the objectivity of the media and information provided to the public?
However, in recent years, on the basis of the development of behavioral economics, there are more and more data and results of research carried out, that unfortunately there are many examples suggesting the irrationality of some economic decisions.
Often, consumers make unnecessary purchases based on an efficiently carried out advertising campaign for products or services.
Perhaps consumers are more and more often susceptible to the impact of effective advertising campaigns, in addition to traditional media, also in new online media, including on social media portals, where viral marketing is widely used.
Often in advertising campaigns, specific products and services are presented as unique, innovative or having such features as opposed to the substitutional offer of competition.
The message that is not always formulated in the advertising campaign is truthful, but some consumers may receive such a message as objective and this translates into an increase in the sale of a specific, effectively advertised assortment.
Do you agree with my opinion?
Please reply

Are there instances in  ancient history were people would greet others with cuss words? A contemporary example is how some people now a days would call each other "yo dawg". Are there similar instances similar to this in ancient history?
Relevant answer
Answer
There are plenty of examples of greetings that to an outsider would seem to be derogatory, although whether these qualify as 'cuss words' is another matter.
The most famous from antiquity may be the emperor Gaius' nickname Caligula, a greeting that was certainly shouted to him when he succeeded to the purple. One which he came to hate because of its derogatory overtones, Mary Beard glosses it as 'bootykins'.
If we look to the medieval Icelandic sagas these sort of derogatory greetings seem common. Although only among friends, if someone outside one's circle used them they might seem to be an insult and trigger violence. The use of epithets for elites in other parts of Europe suggests these attitudes were widespread, e.g. Longshanks, Wolf, Crookback, Bald or Ugly.
I suspect one of the problems maybe that authors would not have been prepared to demean their works with profanities and therefore examples of cuss words as greetings may fail to be recorded. I very much doubt that the response of the soldiers to Claudius' envoy who was attempting to get them to invade Britain was anywhere near as polite as the language Tacitus uses to describe it.

A couple of years ago newspapers have been full with articles about bird flu, although there have been hardly any deaths caused by it. In contrary, the danger that comes from fake medicines sold over internet is hardly discussed in the media, although it has caused more deaths than bird flu.
Is there a theoretical framework that can explain why some issues become a subject of public debate and why others not? I can imagine that there is something like a norm entrepreneur (in international relations theory) but being not a media sociologist, I don't know the references. 
Any help/idea is appreciated.

Answer
The most effective use of power is that which determines which issues appear on the political agenda, and which issues are submerged.  Even in an open society, such as a democracy, not all issues of interest can receive equal attention or will even find their way onto the agenda for public debate or consideration by public policy makers.  Issues struggle with one another for public visibility.  The political scientist, E.E. Schattschneider, referred to this struggle as "the conflict of conflicts" and claimed that all political systems are structurally biased in favor of the inclusion of some kinds of issues on the public agenda, and the exclusion of  others.  Peter Bachrach and Morton Baratz coined the phrase "non-decision making power" to refer to the exercise of power to submerge issues or to keep them completely out of public debate.  This non-decision making power is most often exercised to submerge issues which are threatening to the dominant interests of political, social, and economic elites, or issues which clash with dominant values embedded in a society's political culture.

I define "bookish social media" as bookish minded communities on popular social media sites (i.e. BookTube, #bookstagram, book blogs, etc.). Any literature you think might be of value to read would be appreciated!

Hi Lori,
It sounds like your class is similar to the one I'm currently teaching! My students have found the following critics most useful for their research on digital literary cultures: Simone Murray, Beth Driscoll (look at the recent special issue of Logos she edited), Meredith Nelson, Claire Squires, Danielle Fuller and DeNel Rehberg Sedo. 
Good luck with your research!

Can anybody recommend an appropriate methodology and statistical test to study media coverage of hate speech?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Nazia,
Shanma is correct but I think may be of some use in helping you make your question clearer. 
1) What is hate speech? What you may think is I or others may not. Just as what I may feel is hate speech you and others may not.  Please define so reader can know what it is you are looking for.
2) Limit your question! What media source? It will be impossible to monitor every television channel, radio station, news papers,magazines, ect.  You may want to focus in on one but more than that you would need a team.
3) Methodology approach. In your study it may just be watching, listening, or reading and counting the number of times statements met your defined requirements for statement to be considered hate speech. Or listening to prime time shows and comparing them to one another. Many such methodologies are a valid approach to your question.
4) Have a statistical method or approach can be done much the same as #3. 
I hope this helps and I look forward to your reply,
Douglas

I am beginning a project analysing print media/web-based articles on poverty/welfare benefits. I have a great collection of articles in my project using NCapture. I would appreciate any advice on any traps/pitfalls others have found using this program.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi, QSR have told me I am a 'power user' of NVIVO 10 so happy to try share what I'm learning.
I have a lot of social media in my research but NCapture has not been able to do what it is designed to do in terms of capturing twitter / Facebook images and their associated captions (I've tried IE, Chrome and Mozilla). So currently I have to download the photo and record the caption. I find the picture quality is better when I do this in Word, instead of NVIVO. However if I then want to import that word document as a memo into NVIVO - to keep all my writing/analysis in one library - the pictures in Word seem to overload NVIVO and it freezes/shuts down, or imports the document but the pictures are stretched beyond use.
QSR are apparently making some updates to fix these problems. For the mean time, I try to have a tight system to retrieve my information through NVIVO and Word - but two 'libraries' is not ideal.
I would like to add, on some occasions NCapture works - and it is so good when it does!! So when the bugs are fixed, it will be great.
But all that being said - it sounds like you just want NCapture for PDF versions of online articles, so I don't foresee you having the problems I have had specific to social media?
