Abstract:
|
In the second half of the 1990's, the competition between news programs has rapidly increased in the Netherlands. The present study focuses on sensationalism in the main evening newscasts, covering both domestic and international news. In order to attach construct validity to the concept, sensationalism is defined and measured in terms of the psychological concepts of 'vividness' and 'salience'. A sample of 698 news items was analyzed. The analyses revealed, that according to some indicators television newscasts have become more sensational between 1995 and 2001, and that the most recently started program has played the biggest role in this process. Particularly the findings concerning the indicators which might best represent the 'vividness' of the sensationalist news, were in line with the hypotheses. |
