Process and effects
Effects and uses
It is really interesting that the earlier studies focused on studying the ‘effects’ of media and concluded that the media played a limited role in influencing public opinion!!
There are many theories study the effects such as magic bullet theory or hypodermic theory, payne fund studies, and agenda sitting.
- The "hypodermic theory" which was done by Lasswell, implied mass media had a direct, immediate and powerful effect on its audiences. The mass media in the early studies were perceived as a powerful influence on behavior change. This theory suggests that the mass media could influence a very large group of people directly by ‘injecting’ them with appropriate messages designed to have a desired response. The bullet theory suggests that the message is a bullet, fired from the "media gun" into the viewer's "head". They express the view that the media is a dangerous means of communicating an idea because the receiver or audience is powerless to resist the impact of the message. There is no escape from the effect of the message in these models. The "war of the worlds" broadcast is a good example of the magic bullet theory and this is exactly how this theory worked, by injecting the message directly into the public’s mind in order to make effects. The war of the worlds became known as the "Panic Broadcast" made by Orson Welles.
- “Payne Fund Studies” are the second important studies that also focused on the effects standpoint these studies were developed by the motion picture research council and these studies were concerning about the effects of motion pictures on children particularly. Payne fund studies of effects included the effects on children's information acquisition, attitude change, emotion stimulation, health, and behavior. Children acquired then save or keep the information they received in the movies. Movie viewing changed attitudes concerning ethnic and social issues. Emotions were stimulated especially those related to fear. Health effects were measured by looking at the sleep patterns of children after watching movies, and certain movies disturbed healthy sleep. Children who attended movies regularly were found to behave poorly in school compared to those who attended less frequently. Children imitated favorable behavior they saw in movies, but movies also appeared to play a direct role in delinquent careers. Overall researchers found that movies influenced both children's attitudes and behaviors.
- “Agenda sitting” Agenda setting describes a very powerful influence of the media – the ability to tell us what issues are important. “The world outside and the pictures in our heads” which was done by Lippmann. The article is about an island that was populated by Germans, French and British. The case is that of Madam Caillaux, who was facing a trial for shooting someone. The murder was because of the hate that the English and the French were concealing against the Germans. The people of the island.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

4. The media effects theory and how it affects representation of England/ Englishness The media effects theory affects how English people view themselves, for instance, in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, the English are represented in a rough, ‘cockney-geezer’ way… This is a self-gratifying stereotype, but would likely be viewed as negative by a non-English audience. The theory is that these stereotypes that we view of ourselves are likely to affect the way we view ourselves, and, in turn act.
