The Effectiveness of Locator Maps in Increasing Reader Understanding of the Geography of Foreign News

Deleted Journal (1994)

Jeffrey L. Griffin Robert Louis Stevenson

This study tested the influence of two techniques of providing contextual geographical information in foreign news stories - the traditional method of weaving it into the text and the increasingly common method of including a map with the story. Results of the experiment indicated that newspaper readers' understanding of the geographical context of a foreign event can be increased either by building geographical information into the text or by including a map, but the most effective technique is the redundant one of providing geographical information both in the text and via a map.

The Americanization ofThe Office: A Comparison of the Offbeat NBC Sitcom and Its British Predecessor

Jeffrey L. Griffin

One dimension of the globalization of television is the remaking of fictional series in countries beyond their country of origin. This study examines how the quintessentially British comedy The Office was adapted for an American audience. U.S. networks have aired numerous remakes of popular British dramas and sitcoms in recent seasons. Although most have had markedly short runs, NBC's version of The Office has forged its own identity and achieved notable success. In dissecting the Americanization of The Office, the author compares the remake with the original, considering how such elements as setting, character portrayal, dialogue, and plot underscore the remake's American identity.

The presence of written English on the streets of Rome

English Today (2004)

Jeffrey L. Griffin

ENGLISH is a juggernaut whose sweep across the globe is marked not only by the ever-swelling ranks of those who speak it as a second language, but also by its intrusion into other languages and cultures. While far from omnipresent, English is seen and heard in enough contexts in non-English-speaking countries that social scientists must carefully explore its role alongside indigenous languages. This study, which focused on the city of Rome, examines one dimension of English as an invader – its presence on street signs, on store fronts, in shop windows, outside commercial and public buildings, in billboards and other street advertisements, and in graffiti. It takes a more expansive and comprehensive approach than previous studies in examining the use of English in a foreign locale, in order to get a better sense of how widespread it is on the streets of a non-English-speaking country and in what contexts it appears.

The Entertainment Landscape of the United Kingdom

Routledge eBooks (2019)

Jeffrey L. Griffin

This chapter surveys the entertainment landscape of the United Kingdom by examining British television, radio, and film. After relevant background on the United Kingdom is covered, the chapter delves into the basics of television in Britain before profiling the leading British TV networks and considering the television export market. Then some aspects of the radio environment are explored. The chapter also examines facets of film in Britain, notably movie-theater attendance, the relative strength of the domestic film industry versus U.S. films, and the impact of the film industry, particularly the production sector, on the UK economy. Finally, global dimensions of British film, including film exports, are explored.

Influence of Text & Graphics in Increasing Understanding of Foreign News Context

Newspaper Research Journal (1992)

Jeffrey L. Griffin Robert Louis Stevenson

Given Americans' general ignorance about other nations and lack of understanding of events beyond U.S. borders, foreign news accounts should offer more background information. This experiment shows that background material in both graphic and textual forms effectively increases reader understanding of complex world events.

Global English infiltrates Bulgaria

English Today (2001)

Jeffrey L. Griffin

Following his article ‘Global English invades Poland’ (ET50, Apr 97, Vol 13.2), the author explores the comparable impact of English on advertising in a second Eastern European nation. Global English continues its unchecked spread, not only as the second language of choice for more people than any other, but also as an infiltrator whose words creep into the fabric of other languages through such avenues as film, television, popular music, the World Wide Web, advertising and youth culture.
