• Narrative has taken a central presence in Communication research. • Although few communicaiton scholars make a distinction between narrative and story, narrative and story need to be defined for conceptual and analytical clarity. • Stories provide causal linkages between events while narratives have specific structures that affect the involvement and attention that is required to develop those linkages. • Narration simulates the social world through abstraction, simplification and compression. • In situation models, words, actions, ideas, sounds and images are all brought together to enable us to experience a narrative for ourselves. • It is inevitable that we will adopt the perspective of characters so that we can understand a narrative. • However, we maintain our attitudes, stereotypes, prejudices, and knowledge of the world that we have experienced. We don’t become the character, but the character is us. • Perspective taking is inf luenced by the nature and type of character goals and motivations, as well as our knowledge of real-world (physical) constraints on the narrative action, and even some physical aspects of the audience member. A great deal of recent research on communication has been developed in the general area of narrative or narrative effects. The majority of this work has brought in older communication concepts without reconciling those concepts

Estimate the amount of alcohol advertising in sport vs. non-sport programming in Australian free-to-air TV and identify children’s viewing audience composition at different times of the day. Alcohol advertising and TV viewing audience data were purchased for free-to-air sport and non-sport TV in Australia for 2012. We counted alcohol advertisements in sport and non-sport TV in daytime (6am-8.29pm) and evening periods (8.30pm-11.59pm) and esti-mated viewing audiences for children and young adults (0–4 years, 5–13 years, 14–17 years, 18–29 years). During the daytime, most of the alcohol advertising (87%) was on sport TV. In the evening, most alcohol advertising (86%) was in non-sport TV. There was lit-tle difference in the mean number of children (0–17 years) viewing TV in the evening (N = 273,989), compared with the daytime (N = 235,233). In programs containing alcohol adver-tising, sport TV had a greater mean number of alcohol adverts per hour (mean 1.74, SD = 1.1) than non-sport TV (mean 1.35, SD =.94). Alcohol advertising during the daytime, when large numbers of children are watching TV, is predominantly in free-to-air sport TV. By per-mitting day-time advertising in sport programs and in any programs from 8.30pm when many children are still watching TV, current regulations are not protecting children from exposure to alcohol advertising.
