SUMMARY:CPG Speaker: Marc André Bodet
DESCRIPTION:Accent as a factor of differentiation in a pluralistic society \nMarc André Bodet\, Professor\, Université Laval \nAbstract. There exists substantial research on the impact of various characteristics on the definition of national identity. Factors such as skin color and other phenotypical characteristics associated with race and ethnicity have played a central role along cultural and religious symbols. Language acquisition has also been a strong indicator of integration. In this article\, we focus on an understudied area that often signals otherness\, namely the importance of accent as a factor of differentiation. We focus on the impact of standard versus nonstandard accents\, alone and in combination with ethnic cues. Making use of a preregistered online experiment conducted in the Canadian province of Québec\, we randomize the ethnicity and accent of a person making a political statement and test whether these two characteristics are associated with differentiated evaluations of two types of statements about diversity (one more intercultural and one more multicultural)\, as well as assessments of the speaker’s belonging to the majority group. \nPart of the Communication and Politics Group speakers series.

SUMMARY:CPG Speaker: Dan Hiaeshutter-Rice
DESCRIPTION:Enemies of the (E)state: Examining the Role of Attacks on The Press and Media Content \nDan Haieshutter-Rice\, Michigan State University \nA healthy critique of the free press is vital in a democracy. Like the other pillars of a functional democratic system\, the press performs its role best under a receptive but critical eye. Yet broad and sustained attacks by political elites can undermine a free and independent press. These attacks may pressure outlets to alter their content\, potentially through defense of the press or pulling back their negative coverage. These responses may also vary based on the kind of news organizations. Certain outlets may be more susceptible than others; for example\, publicly funded media could be especially responsive to accusations of bias given their reliance on government support and donor goodwill. \nThis paper examines how a wide range of news outlets—including local news organizations\, public media\, major broadcast networks\, and cable news—have responded to public accusations of bias and threats of regulatory action over the past 20 years. Drawing on the Congressional Record and a database of political newsletters from members of Congress (DCInbox)\, it analyzes changes in tone\, language\, sourcing\, and thematic emphasis in news coverage following political attacks. The findings will illuminate the extent to which critiques of the press translate into measurable shifts in coverage\, and the conditions under which media outlets are most likely to alter their content in response to political pressure. \nPart of the Communication and Politics Group speakers series.

SUMMARY:CPS Speakers Series: Kevin Arceneaux (Sciences Po)
DESCRIPTION:The Political and Social Influence of Social Media: The Case of Facebook\nKevin Arceneaux\, Sciences Po\nWednesday April 9\, 10:30-12:00\, Rolfe 2125 \nABSTRACT: Popular discourse about social media presumes that social media platforms play an\noutsized role in shaping public opinion and political behavior. The social nature of these\nplatforms allow people to learn about politics from a tailored set of trusted sources\, making\nthem a potentially powerful influence\, while also making them notoriously difficult to study.\nDeactivation experiments\, which incentivize users to forgo using social media\, offer a blunt\ninstrument for estimating the overall impact of social media platforms. This talk will consider\nwhat we have learned about the effects of Facebook from several deactivation experiments\nconducted in the US and France. Despite its potential to shape public opinion and political\nbehavior\, these experiments suggest that it has relatively modest effects.
