Contextual objectivity is a principle with roots in quantum mechanics that was adapted and applied to explain and describe the operations of news media organizations during times of war . Proposed by Adel Iskandar and Mohammed El Nawawy in their analysis of Al Jazeera as a case study, the term expresses the attempt to reflect all sides of any story while retaining the values, beliefs and sentiments of the target audience . The concept has been applied by some scholars to explain Fox News Channel s news programming in the 2002 2003 run up to the Iraq war . Other studies used contextual objectivity to describe differences between mainstream media and alternative ethnic media s coverage of post Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

Orphan date February 2009 Context date October 2009 Contextual cueing also referred to as Contextual Cuing is a concept in psychology that refers to the manner in which the human brain gathers information from visual elements and their surroundings. The term was coined by Drs.

Contextual cueing is defined as an attentional guidance or facilitation effect derived from past experiences of mostly hidden regularities of the mainly visual world. In other words, visual attention can be guided by incidentally acquired knowledge about spatial invariants. Spatial invariants can be the objects around a given target object, their spatial layout, their trajectories, etc. This means that when you are searching for some visual object that is repeatedly surrounded by the same objects, or by objects in the same locations, or by objects following the same trajectories, you will be faster to find the object you are looking for. However, if the object is surrounded by different objects, or by displaced objects, or by objects randomly moving around, each time you look for it, then you will not be faster to find the given object.

Editorial Related Advertising is associated with the concept of Contextual advertising Contextual Advertising but differs in its ability to match advertising to content in a much more specific manner. Where Contextual Advertising is keyword based, Editorial Related Advertising is able to also take in the content of the whole article and match on a conceptual level, rather than simply looking for the existence of pre selected words. For example, there is no chance that an Auto Mechanic could advertise next to an article about the Detroit Pistons. This specificity also ensures that Advertisers do not advertise next to defamatory articles or they can create content that will offer a right of reply Advertisers do not advertise next to inappropriate content such as obituaries or negative news articles Advertisers can appear next to articles in the general subject area of interest, for example for keywords that are not actually included in the on page text Advertisers can supply a number of specifically targeted pages, each with their own message to attract users to their microsite . This microsite is housed within a publication on a searchable vertical directory. Advertisers who are not completely related to the publication will not be considered for the program. This creates a directory resource of related suppliers within the publication s website that is also optimized for search engine traffic.
