Everyone has a voice and can broadcast it to the world. We hear about the old maxim of media do not tell people what to think but what to think about. Under this theory or approach, a key function of political communication is to make the public think about an issue in a way that is favorable to the sender of the message. In a democracy, political communication is seen as crucial for the building of a society where the state and its people feel they are connected. Thus, this is a study on how social media (e.g., Facebook, blogs, and YouTube) were used in the domain of Malaysian politics during the 13th general election campaigning period in order to set the agenda to form public opinion. The study found that Facebook was the most popular social media tool that political parties actively engaged with during the 13th general election campaign period. Apart from that, issues pertaining to the election were significantly highlighted by the political parties in social media, especially Facebook. However, other issues that were also important to the people such as the economy, crime, and education were not sufficiently highlighted during the election campaign period. This indicates that the political parties influence the public on what to think about using social media.

헌법과 소비자보호법 체계는 소비지보호운동의 권리를 보장하고 있다. 신문독자와 방송시청자 역시 언론상품의 소비자로서 헌법, 소비자보호법체계 등에 의해 보호받을 수 있다. 나아가 신문독자와 방송시청자 등 언론소비자들은 언론관련법에 의해서도 권리가 침해되지 않거나 피해를 구제받을 수 있다. 언론상품이 언론정보와 광고정보로 구성되고 제품시장과 광고주시장에서 유통, 구매된다는 점 등을 감안하면 언론상품에 대한 불매운동, 광고불매운동은 2차 불매운동이 아니라 1차 불매운동에 해당한다. 이른바 '광고불매운동' 사건에 대해 서울중앙지법 1심 재판부가 광고불매운동을 정당한 소비자 운동의 일환으로 규정하면서 광고주 리스트를 인터넷에 게시하는 행위, 리스트를 보고 광고주들에게 소비자로서의 불매의사를 고지하는 행위 등을 광고게재의 여부가 상대방의 자유로운 판단에 맡겨지는 한 허용된다고 확인한 점은 당연하면서 동시에 다행스러운 판단이다. 그러나 소비자운동의 하나로서 광고불매운동의 자유를 인정하더라도 거기에 내재하는 한계로 인해 타 법익과의 충돌이 불가피하고, 이에 따라 법익간의 이익 형량과 조화가 필요할 것이다. 그럴 경우에도 언론소비자운동은 그것이 표현의 자유이자 동시에 소비자운동의 자유라는 기본권에 근거를 두고 있다는 점을 감안해야 할 것이다.

Twitter is a microblogging service that allows users to post short messages on a variety of topics in real-time. In this work, we analyze Twitter messages posted during the 2012 elections and find those implications. This study uses Twitter messages related to the 2012 South Korean presidential campaign. The three main candidates are represented by the abbreviations A, M, and P. According to the statistical analysis, the number of tweets and re-tweets for candidate P was relatively stable over the entire campaign period. Candidate P had the highest percentage of terms related to elections pledges, and candidates A and M were judged to be a little bit poorer with respect to campaign promises. The positive terms ratio for candidate P was higher than those for the other two candidates. The negative terms ratio in the Twitter messages of P was considerably smaller than those of candidates A and M. After considering all these results, it is suggested cautiously that Twitter messages posted during an election campaign could be correlated with the outcome of the election.

As more companies become interested in global markets, it has become crucial for firms to create globalized brands whose positioning, advertising strategy, personality, looks, and feel are consistent across nations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the global branding strategy of the Hyundai Motor Company (hereafter HMC) in order to show how the company processes its branding strategy. HMC, one of the leading global companies in the automobile industry, set up its brand identity as "Modern premium", in alignment with their new slogan "New Thinking New Possibilities", in 2011. The aim of the "Modern premium" concept was to provide consumers with new experiences and values beyond their expectations. HMC wanted their consumers to think of their cars as not only a medium of transportation but as a life space, where they can share experiences alongside HMC. In an effort to conduct consumer research in 5 different nations, HMC selected "brilliant" as a key communication concept. The word "brilliant" expresses the functional, experiential, and emotional dimensions of HMC. HMC furthermore chose "live brilliant" as a key campaign message in order to reinforce their communication concept. After this decision, the "live brilliant" campaign was exhibited through major broadcast channels around the world. The campaign was the company's first worldwide brand campaign, where a single message was applied to all major markets, with the goal of building up a consistent image as a global brand. This global branding strategy is worth examining due to its significant contribution to growth generation in the global market. Overall, the 'live brilliant' global brand campaign not only improved HMC's reputation image-wise, with the 'Modern Premium' conceptualization of the brand as 'simple', 'creative' and 'caring', but also improved the consumer's familiarity, preference and purchase intention of HMC. In fact, the "live brilliant" campaign was a successful campaign which increased HMC's brand value. Notably, HMC's brand value increased continuously and reached 9 billion US dollars in 2013, leading it to reach 43rd place in the Global Brand Rankings according to the brand consulting group Interbrand. Its brand value largely surpassed that of Nissan (65th) and Chevrolet (89th) in 2013. While it is true that the global branding strategy of HMC involved higher risks, it was highly successful according to cross-nation consumer research. Therefore, this paper concludes that the global branding strategy of HMC made a positive impact on its performance. We further suggest HMC to combine its successful marketing with social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and embrace digital media by extending its brand communication horizon to the mobile internet

Political parties would normally claim that their campaign and communication materials have effects on voters, be it on their supporters or their opponents during election campaigns. However, such effects are assumed effects by the parties unless voters are themselves assessed about the effects of such materials on themselves. The supporters of the parties are likely to regard such campaign materials as congenial to them but this may not be so with the opposition supporters who would regard such materials as negative. Taking the third-person effect to analyze effects on the audience as the theoretical framework, this study posited that opposition members would regard the materials as negative and thus would claim that they would not have any effect on them but they would likely say that such campaign materials would have effects on own party supporters. Davison (1983) posited that individuals will perceive that negative mediated messages would have their greatest impact not "on me" or "you" but on "them,"- the third person. Research suggests that people judge others to be more influenced than they are by media, advertising, libelous messages, media violence, pornography, and television drama. The theory referred to as the Third-person effect developed on the postulation that audience members would not admit that media had any direct effect on them, but would instead believe that the media influenced others, the third person (Tewksbury, Moy, & Weis, 2004; Price, Tewksbury, & Huang, 1998). On the other hand, while people would discount the effects of negative or biased messages on themselves, they would, under the notion of the First Person Effect, readily admit to being influenced by such messages. This study was based on studying the effects of political literature on party and opposition party supporters taking the messages to be positive to one group and biased and partisan to another group. The study focuses on the assumed effects of political literature on own party and opposition party supporters. It traces the degree of influence of Malaysia's largest political party, Barisan Nasional (BN) political communication literature on its own supporters and on non-BN party supporters. While the third-person effect assumes a null or minimal effect on one's self and some or strong effect on others, the question that arises are on welcoming favorable media effects on oneself and assuming unfavorable effects on others.

본 연구는 기존의 미디어 효과에 관한 연구들이 신문, TV, 영화 등과 같은 미디어가 수용자의 인식에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 연구가 이루어지고 있는 바, 게이트키퍼가 없는 인터넷 기반의 새로운 미디어인 유튜브의 시청도 수용자의 인식에 영향을 미칠 수 있는지 살펴본 실증적 연구이다. 본 연구를 위해서 모두 76명의 대학생들을 2개의 집단으로 나누고, 한 집단에게는 일본 제품 불매운동에 관한 유튜브 영상을, 다른 한 집단에게는 불매운동과 전혀 관계없는 단편 영화를 4주 동안 매주 시청하게 한 후 설문조사를 통해 이들의 이슈 중요성 인식과 태도를 측정, 분석하였다. 분석결과 유튜브 영상을 시청한 수용자들이 유튜브 영상을 시청하지 않은 수용자들보다 일본제품 불매운동을 더 중요하게 생각하고, 불매운동에 더 적극적으로 참여하겠다는 태도를 보임으로써 의제설정 효과와 점화 효과가 발견되었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 유튜브의 의제설정 효과와 점화 효과를 확인하였다는 점에서 의의를 찾을 수 있으며, 향후 유튜브의 정치, 경제, 사회, 문화 등 다양한 분야에서의 수용자 효과에 관한 연구가 이어져 유튜브의 미디어 효과에 관한 이론이 정립되기를 기대한다.

Seeded marketing campaign (SMC) is a newly created type of marketing activities with the widespread use of social media. Previous research has examined to find out the optimal seeding strategy that yields the best outcome from the campaign. This research explores the relationships between the characteristics of the seeded influencer and user engagement. The data consists of information from 1062 seeded Instagram posts posted in September 2020 in Korea and 778 seeded influencers who posted those contents. Analyzed by negative binomial regression, our quadratic model suggests that the relationship between user engagement and the number of followers of the seeded influencer draws an inverted U-shape, indicating influencers with greater number of followers may not always be the best choice for the marketers. Moreover, this research shows that the negative marginal impact coming from the huge number of followers can be attenuated when the influencer is an expert of the seeded product.
