Lately I have so little motivation to post. Guess life in Sydney is less stressed?

Using cross-sectional data in communication studies remains common. While we now consciously acknowledge that correlation does not imply causation, how might the most classic media effects theories evolve with longitudinal data?

One of my students talked about 'qualitative content analysis'. Coming from communication studies from HK, UK, and the US, I have never learned of this. Could anyone point me to any authoritative source on this method?

Couldn’t put this book down once I started. It’s amazing on so many levels—one standout is how it frames visits to themed cafe-bars as a form of "healing," addressing both Japan’s stagnant economic conditions and the precarity faced by visitors. Brilliantly conceived.

See what just came in? @michellehsho.bsky.social

How come this makes my day 😂

Just read a paper whose author claimed that Taiwanese gay men who want to get married, but whose mainland Chinese boyfriends don't (or can't), are marginalizing Chinese gay men and imposing a Western ideology.

I’m excited to share my graduate student Don Chui's research on queer men’s consumption of BL in Hong Kong! Her work situates the reading practice within the context of Hong Kong's limited progress in queer rights. doi.org/10.1007/s121...

I am working on a media psychology study. Reviewer #2 suggested that my discussion should be framed specifically within the context of HK. This feedback made me wonder how often studies based on US data limit their discussions exclusively to the US context - almost never, right?

Perhaps the Australian govt can take a look.
