AUSTRALIA; EFFECTS OF TV; VIOLENCE ON TV Summary: "This paper is designed to evaluate television's influence within the social context in which the medium is used. The inclusion of context variables is important because it emphasizes the notion that television does not affect the individual in isolation, but rather, television's influence must be seen in terms of the audience member's construal of the televised message. How the audience will interpret what it views will depend not only upon the content of the programs but also on the nature of the viewer and the context in which the viewing occurs." - INTRODUCTION Notes: Draft version for comments only, prepared for Berkowitz, L.

AUSTRALIA; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA; NEWS PROGRAMMES. AUSTRALIA; PROGRAMME CHOICE; PROGRAMME CONTENT. AUSTRALIA; TELEVISION. AUSTRALIA Summary: "It is shown that audience members actively select amongst available programs on television. This selection is based upon the social role and situational characteristics of the viewer and it is also directly related to the reasons given by viewers for watching television. Patterns of program selection are related to three clusters of needs and reasons. The two most important of these are composed of needs relating to information and diversion. The least important cluster is concerned with the self and social contact. Escape and diversion are needs satisfied by almost any programme; selection is minimal by those viewers expressing these needs. Information needs are best satisfied by news and other informational programmes, while social and self needs are best satisfied by quiz and variety programs, popular drama and movies." - ABSTRACT Notes: Date of publication sourced from Trove More info
