The document discusses how news values and storytelling took place on Twitter during the 2011 Egyptian uprising. It finds that:
1) Established news values like immediacy and relevance guided Twitter use, but new values like ambient news environments and collective production also emerged.
2) News storytelling on Twitter combined oral and print traditions, with a rhythmic and affective style where facts, drama, and emotions blended together instantly.
3) The form of news on Twitter challenges traditional distinctions between media and audiences, as collaborative and leaderless networks collectively framed the events in real-time.
Tracking Social Media Participation: New Approaches to Studying User-Gener...Axel Bruns
PhD Seminar
Thursday 29 Oct., 9.30-11 a.m.
Seminar Room, Journalism & Media Research Centre, 1-3 Eurimbla St (corner High St), Randwick
The impact of user-generated content on a variety of media industries and practices is by now well understood from a conceptual perspective (e.g. Benkler 2006; Jenkins 2006; Bruns 2008). What remains less thoroughly explored is the possibility to utilise the affordances of Web 2.0 technologies themselves to generate large datasets that can be used to track and evaluate user participation practices in order to develop a solid evidence base for further research into social media, and further development of social media projects, technologies, and policies. This presentation outlines research possibilities across a number of social media spaces, and uses the example of a current research project studying the Australian political blogosphere to explore potential methodological approaches.

What does it take to truly transform how an arts organization engages with its community? This is the story of how the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History dramatically increased its attendance, revenue, and public impact through a "revolution" in active participation and social bridging. Presented by Nina Simon at the Theater Communications Group national conference in June 2013.

A presentation and workshop by Nina Simon and Stacey Marie Garcia at the 2013 California Association of Museums conference based on our work at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History collaborating with diverse community groups and individuals.
Those who are looking for ready-to-harvest cattle for sale would also be interested in well-grown beef cattle or dairy cattle from your farm. In order for you to ensure that your farm will make big bucks when you put out your cattle for sale, you have to make sure that you care for your cattle properly.
A Different Grid: Multi-Channel Service Design, the African Way (IA Summit 2012)Franco Papeschi
Presented at IA Summit 2012 on the 25th of March 2012.
Recent evolutions in mobile technologies are fostering new modes of interactions and allowing the creation of services that work seamlessly across devices. The same is true in Africa, given a penetration of mobile phones well over 50% of the population. The difference? Many: dumbphones instead of smartphones; low literacy level limits the possibility to use text-based services (be it web or SMS); scarcity of PCs; importance of community radios in rural areas.
Starting from projects on voice-based services for farmers in West Africa, the talk presents some of the most interesting cases of multi-channel approaches – that combine different eras of technology in one service. It details the possibilities that voice-based interactions can give to illiterate people to access information available on the web, as well as create a community-based repository of information. In conclusion, it reflects on the learnings and how these can be applied to Europe and North America.

This talk was developed by Nina Simon for the Our Museums convening in June 2014 in partnership with the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. The focus is on mechanisms for scaling up inclusive and participatory practice in museums and cultural institutions.
