Massive numbers of users of social networks share various types of information such as opinions, news, and ideas in real time. As a new form of social network, Twitter is a particularly useful information source. Studying influence can help us better understand the role of social networks. The popularity of social networks like Twitter is primarily measured by the number of followers. The number of followers in Twitter and the number of users exposed to news media are important factors in measuring influence. We chose Twitter and the New York Times as representative media to analyze the influence and present an empirical analysis of these datasets. When the correlation between the number of followers in Twitter and the number of users exposed to the New York Times is computed, the result is moderately high. The correlation between the number of users exposed to the New York Times and the number of sections including the users on it, was found to be very high. We measure the normalized influence score using our proposed expression based on the two correlation coefficients.

This research investigates the media consumers' behavior with behavioral economics perspective, especially regarding TV content viewers' behavior; how do online communications influence TV viewers' decision when choosing a new TV content among options. We focus on quantity and attribute of comments or reactions on the online news articles. We analyze that online communications data, which were generated before the first broadcast, affect the TV content consumers' choice for a new TV series. Here we identify a predicted utility, experienced utility and distinction bias in TV media consumption to find the effectiveness of the first viewing choice on whole TV series' episodes. To avoid the crucial influence by exogenous factors, such as season and social issue, the test was done with specific conditions. This research found that the total number of reactions to the comments by itself positively affects the audiences' decision-making behavior for a new TV content choice. This influence was regardless of favor/ non-flavor reactions. This study contributes to the literature on media economics and management by exploring the media content users' consuming behavior and making a first step for finding an important influencer on the media content consumption.

Consumer innovativeness plays a vital role in explaining consumer dynamics, such as adoption, usage, and behavioral intention, in the new world of disruptive online media. This empirical study aimed to examine the importance of consumer innovativeness and digital literacy in the adoption and expansion of new technology-based media services, focusing on OTT services. Extending the theory of adoption of new technologies by innovators to new media environment centered on OTT services, it examines the influence of the four dimensions of motivated consumer innovativeness on OTT service usage. The Korea Media Panel Data of 2019, where overall ICT usage and media consumption of a broad panel of respondents was collected, was used for the analysis. From the data of 10,864 respondents, 4,031 (37.1%) were found to have experience in using OTT services. To clarify the mediating effect of digital literacy on the correlations between cognitive innovativeness of consumers and their use of OTT services, Process Macro Model 4 was used. The bootstrap method was applied to reveal that all four dimensions of consumer innovativeness have a significant indirect effect on new media usage through digital literacy, thus indicating how digital literacy plays an important role in the spread of new digital services in addition to consumer innovativeness. The findings are important in that they can help in the efforts to introduce new technologies to the public and educate them to improve their digital literacy so that they can enjoy the complete experience of using these new digital products.

한국사회에서 뉴미디어가 확산되는 과정에서 언론이 뉴미디어 의제를 어떻게 다루었는지 분석하고, 언론의 정치적 성향에 따라 뉴미디어 정책에 대한 태도가 어떻게 나타나는지 사설에 대한 네트워크 분석을 실시했다. 분석 결과, 언론과 정부의 정치적 성향 일치 여부가 정부의 뉴미디어 정책에 대한 태도와 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 보수 정권이 집권한 시기에 보수 언론은 뉴미디어 정책을 지지한 반면, 진보 언론은 정부의 정책을 반대했다. 이용자 관점, 사회적 관점, 정책적 관점에서 뉴미디어 의제를 분석한 결과, 신문사들은 뉴미디어 도입에 대한 찬반 입장, 정책에 대한 설명 등 정책적 관점에서 주로 접근했다. 사설이 뉴미디어 정책 효과에 대한 언론사의 의견을 밝히고 여론을 형성하는데 영향을 미치는 공간임에도 불구하고, 뉴미디어 정책에 사설대한 언론의 태도가 정부의 정치적 성향과의 일치 여부에 따라 다르게 나타난 것은 심각한 문제라고 할 수 있다. 뉴미디어의 도입과 확산에 정부의 투자와 인력 등 많은 자본이 투입되는 만큼 언론의 비판적인 시각이 중요하기 때문이다.
