The main objective of this research was to analyze the influence of digital marketing on purchasing decisions. The research was guided by specific aims; to evaluate numerous digital marketing platforms in Jordan that can affect the purchasing decisions and identify product categories purchased by customers on digital media platforms. Furthermore, questionnaires were given based on a simple sampling technique and acquired in the Jordanian market. 300 questionnaires were distributed, and 220 available samples were gathered, except for incomplete questionnaires, resulting in a 73% response rate to all those who selected to participate. Descriptive analysis, reliability test, correlation test, and multiple regressions were used in this research. Moreover, this study's results demonstrated that digital marketing, such as social media marketing and mobile marketing, has a profound impact on consumer purchasing decisions. However, hypothesis testing demonstrated that there are many patronized digital media platforms in Jordan that affect student behavior. Jordanian students buy various product categories on digital media platforms, and digital marketing affects student decision-making. Finally, the results of this study suggest that firms should adopt strategies to leverage the digital world and technology, increase brand awareness through digital platforms to continue competing in today's commercial environment.

This study investigated the television (TV) content viewers' behavior influenced by online communication at the choice of new TV series on a terrestrial streaming platform. For exploring the impact of the anchoring effect on the TV content consumption, this study analyzed the correlation between the first episode's TV ratings and the data of online comments or reactions. These data were potential audiences' communication, which were generated on the online article three weeks before the first broadcasting began. To avoid the crucial influence by external factors, such as season and social issue, the test was done with eight (8) TV series which have same genre (drama), similar core audience targeting (20-49's women), similar broadcasting period (Jun-Oct 2016), same scheduling (10.00 to 11.00 pm, weekdays) and aired on terrestrial TV platforms. This research found that not only the amount of comments and reactions, but also the attitude about the comments created before broadcasting, positively influence the audiences' decision-making behavior for new TV content choices. This investigation contributes to the literature on media economics and management by exploring the media content users' consuming behavior with behavioral economics perspectives (anchoring effect) and making a first step for finding a new effect on the media content consumption.

Internet users are increasingly invited to express their opinions on various subjects in social networks, e-commerce sites, news sites, forums, etc. Much of this information, which describes feelings, becomes the subject of study in several areas of research such as: "Sensing opinions and analyzing feelings". It is the process of identifying the polarity of the feelings held in the opinions found in the interactions of Internet users on the web and classifying them as positive, negative, or neutral. In this article, we suggest the implementation of a sentiment analysis tool that has the role of detecting the polarity of opinions from people about COVID-19 extracted from social media (tweeter) in the Arabic language and to know the impact of the pre-processing phase on the opinions classification. The results show gaps in this area of research, first of all, the lack of resources when collecting data. Second, Arabic language is more complexes in pre-processing step, especially the dialects in the pre-treatment phase. But ultimately the results obtained are promising.

소비자와 소통하기 위한 브랜디드 콘텐츠를 중심으로 하는 콘텐츠 마케팅이 현대 마케팅의 주요 트렌드로 각광받고 있는 시점에서, 브랜드의 무대후면영역 정보를 적극적이고 전략적으로 노출하는 시도, 이른바 비하인드씬(behind-the-scene) 콘텐츠가 마케터들의 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구는 브랜드의 비하인드씬을 연극적 접근이론을 통해 '무대후면영역' 노출로 개념화 하였고, 브랜드 무대후면영역 노출의 효과를 실증적으로 규명하고자 하였다. 또한 소비자가 평소에 가지는 광고회의 성향이 소셜미디어를 통해서 접하는 브랜디드 콘텐츠의 평가에도 적용되는지 탐구하였으며, 광고회의 성향이 브랜디드 콘텐츠를 통한 브랜드의 무대후면영역 노출 시에 미치는 조절 효과를 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 브랜드의 무대후면영역을 접한 소비자는 그렇지 않은 소비자에 비해 상대적으로 높은 수준의 정보태도, 브랜드태도, 구매의도를 나타냈다. 또한 광고회의 성향이 낮은 소비자는 높은 소비자에 비해 브랜디드 콘텐츠에 긍정적으로 반응하였으며, 브랜드 무대후면영역에 노출되었을 시 소비자의 정보태도와 브랜드 태도는 광고회의 성향에 따라 조절됨을 파악하였다.

이 연구는 모바일 뉴스의 핵심 소비층으로 부상하고 있는 밀레니얼 세대가 모바일과 SNS를 통해 어떤 뉴스콘텐츠와 뉴스가치를 선호하며, 뉴스기사에 대하여 어떻게 반응하는지를 조사 분석하였다. 연구결과, 밀레니 세대가 뉴스를 가장 많이 소비하는 SNS 창구는 카카오톡과 페이스북이었으며, 하루에 평균 한 번 이상 SNS를 통해 뉴스를 소비하는 것으로 나타났다. 밀레니얼들은 인구학적 특성별로 뉴스유형 선호와 뉴스기사에 대한 반응정도가 달랐으며, 뉴스주제별로 반응정도도 다르게 나타났다. 또한 밀레니얼들의 뉴스 소비 경로는 SNS가 전국일간지와 지상파TV, 인터넷신문, 종편채널 등보다 높게 나타났으며, 선호하고 중요하게 생각하는 뉴스가치로는 '영향성'과 '유용성'이 '속보성'이나 '흥미성'보다 높게 평가되었다.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze 1) who created and distributed fake news, 2) the distribution channels of fake news, 3) who fake news has targeted, and 4) the effects on voting and the impact of fake news on Korean politics. In South Korea, fake news was mainly created by candidates or election campaigns. The reason is that in the wake of the impeachment of President Park Guen Hye, all the political parties in Korea used fake news as a means of mobilizing supporters for each of their candidates or parties to gain an advantage in situations involving political divisions and confrontations between the pro-impeachment, progressive young generation and anti-impeachment, conservative senior generation. Voters' media usage patterns were polarized through social network services (SNS) media and television. Fake news was mostly received through these two media outlets. According to the spreading structure of fake news in Korea, the younger generation generally uses SNS posts intended for unspecified individuals, and the older generation uses closed SNS like KakaoTalk or Naver's BAND. In the end, it is typically characteristic of the older generation to spread fake news through existing offline human networks. In the 2017 presidential election, fake news has been confirmed to have the effect of mobilizing supporters for each political party. In the presidential election, an increase in voter turnout was confirmed among those in their 20s and those in their 60s or older. Evidently, fake news influenced the election of Moon Jae-In. The influence of fake news is expected to grow further as ideological polarization and consequent political polarization continues to intensify in South Korea.

This study analyzes the content of YouTube Vlog videos created by patients of Coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") in South Korea and viewer comments on those videos. As this new infectious disease started to sweep the world in late 2019 and early 2020, the public started facing fear and uncertainty stemming from the lack of sufficient and accurate information about the virus. At the same time, as COVID-19 patients in South Korea were treated in isolation to prevent the spread of the virus, the patients themselves were experiencing anxiety and exclusion from the society. During this period, there was an increase in YouTube Vlog videos created by the patients in which they shared their experiences going through the treatment and recovery processes. To understand how these YouTube Vlog videos were being used by the patients to connect with the society and seek support in a state of isolation and anxiety, this study conducted a qualitative multi-case analysis of three sample YouTube Vlog video channels to analyze their content, as well as a lexicon-based sentiment analysis of viewer comments to understand the experiences and reactions of viewers. The patients' YouTube Vlog videos showed that they shared similar stages of progress, despite each emphasizing a different main theme. Overall, the tone of the viewer comments became increasingly positive over time, although with some variance among different patient cases and stages. The results confirmed that Vlogs of patients played a significant role in reducing the uncertainty around COVID-19 and strengthening social support for the patients. The findings of this study can improve an understanding of the psychological and behavioral aspects of patient experience in isolated treatment and the impact of shared communication among members of society in times of crisis.
