Word segmentation must be performed before semantic network analysis can be conducted. This paper describes how to perform Chinese word segmentation using the Stanford Natural Language Processing group's Stanford Word Segmenter v. 3.8.0, released in June 2017.

What sets the media agenda appears to largely be governmental communication. It was hypothesized that governmental actors would attract media to the issue of acid rain. Once coverage started, interest groups would push the media bandwagon for wider sectors of society. This creates a climate of “buzz journalism.” After conflict among interest groups accelerated and the wagon reached optimal speed, governmental actors would brake the issue cycle and media coverage would dissipate. It was further hypothesized that a period of “long-tail journalism” would ensue in which there was little media coverage over the years without this governmentalgenerated buzz of coverage. The plot of the number of stories per year for the next 25 years showed that there was some coverage but very predictable in its residual factual nature with no hooks to policy considerations. Not until again in 2009 was acid rain con...

In particular, it explains the very structure of the book, organized in three sections: (I) “Mediavolution”: communication media between evolution and revolution; (II) Communication technologies and their environment; and (III) Communication technologies and new practices of communication in the information and commu-

The sharing of Confucian culture may lead to a uniform media structure across these nations. Another possibility is technological determinism, which would also lead to similarity across nations. However, it is possible that countries are at different stages of technology development and will eventually become more similar. An opposing notion is that differences in other values among nations predict digital media use. To examine the evidence considering these possibilities, we factor analyze each population's use of nine traditional and digital media to see how similar the structures are. What results is a three-dimensional solution for four out of five countries, except Singapore, which has a more simple two-dimensional structure. Analysts regard Singapore as the most digitally connected society, which raises the...
