Co-written with Benedetta Brevini, this presentation was part of a panel that explored non-European public service media at the International Association of Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) conference, July 2015, Montreal Canada.
This document discusses how new internet technologies are changing public service delivery and citizen participation. It notes that the OECD has called for new ways of working that leverage networks and connectivity to involve stakeholders. As citizens' expectations grow to participate in and shape services, the public sector must promote transparency and tap into these social forces. Web 2.0 sites have become very popular among younger generations who have grown up with technology and see the digital world as a normal way of life, communicating, and establishing relationships. This new "Net Generation" prefers interactivity and could provide opportunities for more cost-effective public services through greater citizen involvement and sharing of information online.
Blandin Foundation Broadband Stimulus 071409Ann Treacy
The presentation describes the strategy behind the application that Blandin Foundation is developing for ARRA funding. The focus is on the Sustainable Broadband project area. The goal is to bring together key Minnesota organizations to create a program that will fund a variety of market development, economic development and sustainable broadband practices in rural MN communities.
1) The CHRA represents the affordable housing and homelessness sector in Canada with a membership of 200 organizations. 2) The CHRA advocates for policies like a national housing strategy and the housing first principle. It also conducts research and education initiatives. 3) The CHRA established The New Learning Network to facilitate information sharing between community entities receiving federal funding to address homelessness in their communities.
The yarraReporter project trains public housing residents in civic journalism to increase awareness of social issues, improve communication, and build skills. The project aims to break social isolation through multimedia news production and distribution on intranets and blogs. Trainees learn media production, publishing, distribution and news gathering to produce weekly content. The goal is to give socially disadvantaged communities a voice and address their underrepresentation in mainstream media.
Role of social media in news organisations finalRuci-Mafi-Botei
This document discusses the role of social media in news organizations. It notes how social media has become an important tool for newsgathering, audience engagement, and distributing content. However, traditional journalism values like verification, anonymity, and ethics are sometimes challenging to uphold on social media. While social media editors are increasingly common, traditional media still draws much larger audiences. Professional journalists using social media must maintain their standards of fairness, accuracy, and independence.
Presented at Habinteg's Homes for Living Forum, 17 September 2013. Flick Harris presented an overview of inclusive housing policy in Manchester, referring to proposals for the new UK Housing technical standards.
The document proposes a model called Community Communications Centre (C3) to help address the digital divide. C3 would be a community center providing communication facilities and services. It would offer (1) Community Information and Learning services through a library, newspapers, radio, TV, internet and screening hall, (2) Community Participatory services like a community newspaper and radio, and (3) Community Archiving services to preserve community history and media. C3 aims to make communication accessible to all in the community and empower them through information sharing and participatory media and services. It would be managed by a community steering committee and funded through community or external sources.

Convergence media paradigm: definition starts from mindset
The document discusses convergence in media. It argues that convergence is not just a transformation, but starts with adopting a new mindset. There is no single correct way to converge media, but there are wrong ways to do so. Convergence involves interlinking computing, communications, and media content through practices like cross-promotion and multimedia storytelling across platforms. While convergence allows for new opportunities, it also risks undermining journalistic values if used only to generate revenue. Adopting the right mindset and developing new roles and skills through training can help facilitate productive convergence.

The document outlines a campaign against net neutrality regulations. It aims to influence the policy debate by creating an international grassroots movement. The campaign's goal is to stop the "Net Neutrality" movement by making policymakers and the public aware of the proposed regulations' negative effects. The strategy involves an online media campaign using websites, social media, and advocacy efforts to reach libertarian, conservative, and business target groups. The desired outcome is growing support against net neutrality regulations.

Technology And Customer Consultation Kieran Lenihanklenihan
The document discusses citizen participation and customer consultation through new technologies like Web 2.0. It notes that Web 2.0 allows for greater consultation and involvement of citizens through social media sites. Reasons to consider these technologies include their popularity, potential to involve citizens in improving services, and opportunities for cost savings. The document advocates for more transparency and debate to foster trust and societal outcomes.
Mukurtu Hubs & Spokes: A Sustainable Platform for Community Digital ArchivingWiLS
Mukurtu is a grassroots project that aims to empower indigenous communities to manage, share, and exchange their digital cultural heritage in culturally respectful ways. The project goals are to establish regional hubs to provide training and support for communities using the Mukurtu content management system, engage with tribal organizations, foster collaborations between communities and institutions, and expand the system's features. The mission is to maintain an open, community-driven approach to the platform's development and help build a system that fosters relationships of respect and trust.
The multistakeholder model of internet governance has emerged as a more viable option than intergovernmental approaches. It recognizes the roles of all stakeholders but still faces challenges regarding legitimacy, transparency and inclusiveness. The adoption of the multistakeholder statement at NETmundial was significant progress. The European Commission supports multistakeholder internet governance if it ensures representation and prevents corporate capture, and believes global processes could learn from its principles for legitimate multistakeholder conversations.
The document discusses scholars engaging with the public environment through various online tools and platforms. It notes that knowledge exchange through dialogue can enrich knowledge for all parties. It also discusses constraints of language in public discourse and how social media, crowdsourcing, and Web 2.0 technologies have created new dynamics for interactive scholarship. Finally, it suggests that clarity of purpose and relationships will be important for taking advantage of new opportunities that public engagement enables.

This document discusses the requirements for conducting a feasibility study for a broadband project. It explains that a feasibility study should gather data on the current broadband market, providers, and quality of service. It should also assess community interest and the types of business structures, funding options, and costs that could be involved. Conducting a thorough feasibility study that evaluates multiple technology, design, funding, and partnership options provides the best chance of a successful broadband network project. Experience in feasibility studies is important for finding the right solution.
This document outlines a campaign against net neutrality regulations in the United States. The campaign aims to influence the policy debate by creating awareness of the potential negative effects of government regulation of internet access. The campaign will target libertarian and conservative groups, internet companies, and policymakers. Key messages will argue that net neutrality is actually "net brutality" and will lead to censorship, inefficient markets, and excessive taxes. Outreach will utilize online media like websites, Facebook, blogs, and Twitter.
This document discusses citizen journalism and its impact on traditional journalism. It defines citizen journalism as ordinary people using media tools to inform others rather than relying solely on traditional media. It discusses the Australian citizen journalism project youdecide2007 and how it challenged the traditional division between media producers and consumers. It also analyzes how new media technologies have impacted journalism by changing ethics, production models, and the relationship between journalists and the public. Finally, it concludes that while citizen journalism initiatives may not have large audiences, they help prototype new production practices and make the relationship between mainstream and independent media more permeable.

Using social media to engage communities and consultInnovation Agency
Step by step guide to using social media to consult communities in planning and providing health care, particularly relevant to the delivery of Sustainability and Transformation Plans in England. Presented by Alex Talbott of Super Ant at the Innovation Agency's EngageWell event in December 2016.
Community radio stations face several challenges. They have small budgets and coverage areas. They aim to serve local communities by providing localized content overlooked by larger stations, like news relevant to immigrant groups. However, community radio stations struggle with high staff turnover reducing skills, unreliable electricity in remote areas, and lack of clear regulations in some countries. Ensuring community participation and developing management skills to pursue sustainable funding models are also challenges, as community radio relies on local involvement and cannot depend solely on temporary donor funding. Despite obstacles, some stations like FM Ranchi and Sangham Radio have achieved success serving their local audiences.
Media convergence refers to the flow of content across multiple media platforms and the integration of multiple media industries. It has led to new technologies that expand media accessibility and interactivity, while media ownership has concentrated into few large companies. Convergence is an ongoing process that varies in pace depending on a country's development. It affects community ties and national identities, challenges older systems of distribution and ownership, and shifts consumers from passive to active participants through new media like Twitter. Important negotiations now occur between producers and consumers in areas like audience measurement, content regulation, intellectual property, and the relationship between popular culture and citizenship.
Communication models of institutional online communities: the role of the ABC...University of Sydney
The co-creation of cultural artefacts has been democratised given the recent technological affordances of information and communication technologies. Web 2.0 technologies have enabled greater possibilities of citizen inclusion within the media conversations of their nations. For example, the Australian audience has more opportunities to collaboratively produce and tell their story to a broader audience via the public service media (PSM) facilitated platforms of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). However, providing open collaborative production for the audience gives rise to the problem, how might the PSM manage the interests of all the stakeholders and align those interests with its legislated Charter? This paper considers this problem through the ABC’s user-created content participatory platform, ABC Pool and highlights the cultural intermediary as the role responsible for managing these tensions. This paper also suggests cultural intermediation is a useful framework for other media organisations engaging in co-creative activities with their audiences.
Public Service Media Taste Agents: Cultural Intermediaries Working as Innovat...University of Sydney
This document discusses the role of cultural intermediaries in public service media as innovation brokers. It argues that cultural intermediaries, such as YouTube producers at the fringe of creativity, can interact with "lead users" to help public service media organizations innovate. The document uses the example of the ABC's "Fresh Blood" program in Australia, which helped launch several popular comedy acts. It concludes that public service media has an important role in innovative cultural production and that cultural intermediaries can help translate fringe creativity and share new production methodologies with the broader media sector.

Moving Convergence Culture Beyond ‘Speculative Fiction’ to Grounded Experienc...University of Sydney
Williams has noted the role of cultural studies is “the making of society” which “requires the finding of common meanings and direction” (Williams 1958: 93). Cultural studies as a (non) discipline has arguably spawned an array of emerging disciplines including the creative industries, which to some extent encompasses convergence cultures. Recent humanities scholarship has called for researchers to move beyond the marvel of convergence cultures as a form of cultural studies with its potential for increased social inclusion and cultural diversity, to a more nuanced understanding of participation. Participation in this instance may be mobilised by an increased capacity for economic or political gain, or, more likely, to satisfy the increase in the attention economy addressed through networked individualism. Given this provocation to extend our understanding of convergence culture beyond the “80 per cent speculative fiction” (Turner 2011) argument, scholars within the cultural studies discipline should be looking towards grounded approaches of audience participation within the media and communication sectors. The provocation also poses the question, is convergence culture an adequate framework to investigate the increasing political engagement alongside the increasing individualisation of mass communication?
Jenkins (2013) recently commented, “cultural scholars from varied traditions have much to learn from each other if we can move past a history of internal culture wars and towards a more productive dialogue that balances critique and advocacy” (p 2). The data in this paper seeks to satisfy that balance through the findings of a three-year ethnographic research project that investigated participatory cultures at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), specifically ABC Pool (www.abc.net.au/pool). The data emerges from practice-based research and suggests participation does impact on greater democratic processes, however it is the work of the cultural intermediary that facilitates this process. Finally, this paper seeks to consolidate the convergence culture framework as a suitable approach to understand the broader policy and regulation disciplines.

Cultural intermediation at the intersection point of instituional co-creation...University of Sydney
In an unstable and unpredictable media environment (Cunningham & Turner 2010), public service media organizations have been encouraged to explore new production techniques that engage the audience in innovative and exciting ways while delivering content over multiple digital platforms (Debrett 2010). In a multiplatform media environment described as one that intersects the single audience member with the mass audience (Enli 2008), PSM host platforms that enable content to not only be published by the institution’s professional media staff but to also host content contributed by the audience. Multiplatform within PSM also engage the characteristics of participatory cultures where users refuse “to simply accept what they are given, but rather insists on the right to become full participants” (Jenkins, 2006, p. 131), thereby appropriating media for new contexts. Walker (2009) suggests participatory cultures have seen PSM move beyond the one-way communication model of web 1.0 to an engaged, democratic and inclusive communication model more representative of web 2.0, further complicating the media environment.

The Impact of Social TV and Audience Participation on National Cultural Polic...University of Sydney
This document summarizes an experiment by the ABC called #7DaysLater, which produces a weekly television comedy show created through audience participation on social media. Each week, the audience provides ideas for the show's title, genre, location and other elements via Twitter and Facebook. The show is then written and produced in just 7 days to incorporate the audience's suggestions. The document discusses the challenges and opportunities of this experiment, including growing the audience, cutting through the noise on social media, and developing new talent. It also reviews literature on public service broadcasting and how its values could apply to digital media like social TV.
The social and technological challenges of augmenting the ABC’s archival coll...University of Sydney
Given the provocation that cultural institutions should be engaging in mobile platforms to provide the public with improved access to their archival collections, many institutions have been experimenting with hybrid projects. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) facilitated one experiment during 2011 to understand how it could leverage augmented reality (AR) technologies to promote public access to its archival collections. This presentation describes one ABC AR project, MyBurb. MyBurb was developed to publish ABC Australian suburban archives, while also encouraging users to contribute their personal collections to co-create an historical urban landscape. Burgess and Banks (2010) define co-creation as “the ways in which platform providers (however imperfectly) integrate user-participation into their own models of production” (2010, p. 298). Co-creation at the ABC aligns with its public service remit to foster national culture and engage the public sphere (Cunningham, 2013).

The document discusses public service media (PSM) and its role in a networked society. It argues that PSM should work with digital influencers to better understand public issues and leverage their audiences. PSM currently treats social media like traditional broadcasting, which is contrary to a networked model. To better operate as "switchers" within networks, PSM needs to embrace the multichannel network model and empower digital influencers, who act as cultural intermediaries. This would help PSM fulfill its universal remit in a neoliberal environment. The document ultimately questions whether digital influencers like Moretoki should be the new face representing PSM.

This document summarizes a session on public spaces and social cohesion. It discusses how public spaces can harness social cohesion across diverse groups and accommodate multiple stakeholder interests. It also examines challenges like the emergence of virtual spaces, political conflicts, urbanization, and clamping down on public spaces. Examples are provided from GIZ programs in Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, and regional projects. The examples showcase how participatory planning and inclusion of marginalized groups in infrastructure projects can foster social cohesion and ownership over public spaces. Challenges addressed include complexity, limited services, power struggles over use of spaces, and marginalization. The discussion focuses on enabling factors like participatory tools, institutional structures, capacity development, and integrating gender
Blocked by YouTube - Unseen digital intermediation for social imaginaries in ...University of Sydney
YouTube is one of the most globally utilised online content sharing sites, enabling new commercial enterprise, education opportunities and facilities for vernacular creativity (Burgess, 2006). Its user engagement demonstrates significant capacity to develop online communities, alongside its arguably more popular use as a distribution platform to monetise one’s branded self (Senft, 2013). However, as a subset of Alphabet Incorporated, its access is often restricted by governments of Asian Pacific countries who disagree with the ideology of the business. Despite this, online communities thrive in these countries, bringing into question the sorts of augmentations used by its participants. This article reframes the discussion beyond restrictive regulation to focus on the DIY approach (augmentation) of community building through the use of hidden infrastructures (algorithms). This comparative study of key YouTube channels in several Asia Pacific countries highlights the sorts of techniques that bypass limiting infrastructures to boost online community engagement and growth. Lastly, this article reframes the significance of digital intermediation to highlight the opportunities key agents contribute to strengthening social imaginaries within the Asia Pacific region.
Community media is media that is operated by, for, and about a community. It aims to give community members a voice and promote participation, ownership, and accountability. In Maldives, community media could empower communities by addressing local issues, disseminating important information like during natural disasters, and supporting livelihoods like fishing. It works as a tool for development by facilitating co-learning, sharing best practices, and guiding community empowerment through skills development and promoting local talent.

The document discusses several media theorists and concepts related to changes in media brought about by new technologies and the internet, including Web 2.0 enabling user interaction and participation, citizen journalism challenging traditional "Big Media", knowledge building communities allowing faster sharing of ideas, convergence across platforms encouraging participatory culture and collective intelligence, and the "Long Tail" theory describing how niche content is becoming more economically viable online. However, it also notes potential issues like lack of diversity on platforms like YouTube and questions around the ethics of citizen journalism.
This document summarizes the key challenges in regulating convergent media in Australia. It discusses how traditional media regulation based on licensed broadcasting, ownership rules, and content standards no longer fits a media environment characterized by globalization, convergence of content and delivery platforms, and user-generated content. It analyzes challenges to the traditional "public interest" regulatory model and whether technological change favors a more neoliberal approach. The document also examines issues around measuring and regulating media concentration and influence in this new environment.
The document discusses how the media can be viewed as a social institution in several ways according to Silverblatt (2012). Traditionally, institutions like family, government and schools provided people with knowledge and tools to integrate into society, but now individuals increasingly turn to media for behavioral rules and values. While Western media primarily seeks profit, it also plays a role in social cohesion by presenting a standardized culture and collective experiences. However, its commercial imperative has also led it to expand into many private areas of life. The document then outlines characteristics, functions, sociological perspectives on and types of media.
The document discusses the governance challenges facing public service media (PSM) in an environment of transition. It makes three key points:
1. PSM historically had close links to states but relationships with governments and accountability have been ongoing challenges, with different models adopted in different countries.
2. PSM now face new governance challenges due to declining audiences and funding, needing to develop new digital services while maintaining relevance and charter obligations.
3. There are debates around who should decide priorities for PSM - managers, boards, governments? And how can accountability and value for money be ensured while allowing independence from arbitrary political interference?
This document discusses the role of "preditors" in citizen journalism. Preditors combine the ground work of citizen journalists with the expertise of professional journalists by performing editorial supervision, generating initial content, networking within communities, and handling technical responsibilities. Specifically, as facilitators they provide training, share site information, mediate discussions, and recognize super contributors who take on much of the workload. While some duties overlap with traditional journalism, preditors play a key role in guiding amateur content and ensuring user-generated news production is sustainable. Their labor is important but often overlooked in debates about participatory media.
The document discusses the role of "preditors" in citizen journalism. Preditors facilitate user-generated content by performing editorial, networking, community management, and technical work. This includes supervising contributions for accuracy and legal issues, generating initial content to attract an audience, cultivating relationships with journalists and the community, providing training to citizens, and conducting both on-site and off-site technical work to support citizen journalism platforms. Preditors play an important role in recognizing user labor and facilitating amateur content production in the changing landscape of online news.

The document proposes exploring opportunities for an industry standard around modular content.
This document discusses multi-channel publishing and dissemination. It begins with an introduction that describes how communication methods have changed with technology like the internet, leading to more channels. It then defines dissemination as broadcasting a message without direct feedback. The document goes on to classify different types of dissemination channels, including static channels like websites, and dynamic channels like blogs, newsfeeds, email lists, and microblogging services like Twitter and Tumblr. It discusses best practices for dissemination and measuring its impact.
Bennington and Moore - Public Value Theory & Practice - Marian ZinnMarian Z.
This document summarizes key concepts from chapters 2 and 13 of the book "Public Value Theory & Practice" regarding networked community governance and the reformulation of public value. It presents a graphic model showing how public value is created through dialogue between what the public values and what adds value to the public sphere. The document also discusses variables that can be used to evaluate the public value of media companies, including economic, cultural, social, educational, political and ecological value. It reviews methods that can be used to measure public value outcomes, such as reach, quality, impact and value for money. Limitations of measuring public value include its reliance on subjective judgements and challenges in coordinating stakeholders.

This document summarizes four recent public inquiries into media policy in Australia that have reignited debates around how to regulate media in a convergent environment. The inquiries covered the convergence review, the ALRC classification review, the Finkelstein media inquiry, and a review of the Australia Council. The document outlines some of the key recommendations and principles from these reviews, including a shift to platform-neutral and content-based regulation. It also discusses debates around how to approach regulation in a globalized digital environment and the roles of both government and industry in media governance.
11.public service broadcasting by radio -challenges aheadAlexander Decker
This document discusses the challenges facing public service broadcasting (PSB) by radio. PSB aims to inform, educate, and entertain the public, but it faces competition from commercial broadcasting seeking advertising revenue. While commercial broadcasting prioritizes entertainment, PSB must balance public welfare messages with attracting audiences. Financing PSB is also challenging as it relies on sources like license fees rather than advertising. Developing countries like India still greatly benefit from PSB, so its role must be supported and not undermined by growing commercial broadcasting.
Public relations has evolved from press agents in the early 20th century to encompass relationship building and two-way communication. The profession aims to help organizations adapt to their various publics. There are over 275,000 PR professionals in the US working in fields like media relations, community outreach, and crisis management. While the job outlook is strong with a projected 24% growth rate, salaries range from $28,000 for entry-level to nearly $90,000 for top earners, with corporate communications paying more. The Public Relations Society of America is the major professional organization.

‘I don’t want to live their lives!’ The dynamics of Vietnamese digital mediaUniversity of Sydney
Vietnam demonstrates advanced levels of digital media use. Online content creators have adapted to thrive within a media ecology against non-authentic media by evolving towards experience translators. Through interviews with Vietnamese creative industry experts, online content creators and young users, this article articulates how Vietnamese digital media is similar to outside models but has its own distinctiveness, rewarding its users by providing a generally positive space for online communication. Through a de-Westernised lens, it is possible to observe Vietnamese digital media is broadly progressive, inclusive, and at an arms-length from hate speech, misinformation and vitriol content. Vietnam’s focus on positivity and support for communities over individuals has provided a burgeoning digital media market for a variety of industries. Vietnamese digital media demonstrates a pushback against commercially oriented individuals that use their platformed affordances for capital gain, in preference for content from what can be described as online experience intermediators.
How might generative artificial intelligence (AI) and automation be undertaken to produce social good? In an increasingly automated digital media world, user agency is challenged through the loss of interaction functionality on the platforms, technologies and interfaces of everyday digital media use. Instead, algorithmically designed decision making processes function for users to assist them in making sense of these environments as a means of assisting them to seek out content that is relevant, of interest and entertaining. However, if the last five years are anything to go by, these sorts of recommendations, particularly across social media, have caused anything but social cohesion and unity amongst users, and have instead spread misinformation, vitriol and hurtful media. Would our society be different had we designed systems that focused on, while still entertaining, content that places the wellbeing of humans at the forefront over content that is, for the most part, popular?
This presentation uses the lens of digital intermediation to explore how civic algorithms might be designed and implemented in digital spaces to improve social cohesion. By unpacking the technologies, institutions and automation surrounding the cultural production practices of digital intermediation, it becomes clearer how these leavers can be adjusted to nudge and encourage platforms, users and content creators to engage in improved civic processes. As a digital intermediation challenge, creating and working with civic algorithms presents as a potentially useful approach towards improving the cornerstone of our democracies by ensuring citizens have access to accurate information, are engaging in the discussions that are important and relevant to them, and are operating within digital environments that value social good alongside commercial gains.
Are newsbots really able to 'converse' with their audiences? Maybe. This presentation explores 16 newsbots and highlights some of the advantages and challenges of automating the news through bots.
What value of cultural analytics? Discerning value in digital environmentsUniversity of Sydney
This document discusses the value of cultural analytics and content creators. It presents several theories on how individuals and groups determine value, including Schwartz's theory of basic human values. It also examines different types of cultural intermediation like Bourdieu's idea of taste agents and Negus' concept of market translators. The document suggests that current metrics used to measure online influencers often fail to capture important cultural values beyond commercial interests. Moving forward, more research is needed to develop new frameworks for determining value in digital environments and ensuring diverse content is properly recognized and supported.
Beyond social development alone in Vietnamese social media, and towards cultu...University of Sydney
My 2022 keynote delivered to the News and Media Research Centre as part of my University of Canberra Faculty of Arts and Design Distinguished Fellowship.
The document discusses how social media trends and influencers have evolved over the past ten years. While platforms and influencers have adopted new features from apps like Snapchat and TikTok, the core nature of influencers has not significantly changed. However, creative agencies that work with influencers have evolved, now focusing more on metrics, influence, and content creation through data science. The document questions how real influence can be measured and how influencers could be used to build meaningful worlds for young audiences on social media.

From KPIs to KOLs: Regulating social media and influencers within VietnamUniversity of Sydney
The recent Facebook livestream by Nguyen Phuong Hang, which lasted for over three hours, vocally criticised, and called-out online celebrities for their dysfunctional behaviour, signifies a new era for social media and influencers within the country. As a key opinion leader (KOL) herself, Nguyen Phuong Hang has the capacity to swing public opinion, triggering a key regulatory moment for the Vietnamese government. As an already regulatory-tight country, Vietnam faces a paradoxical social media regulation moment: significant investment in its digital media future, while maintaining a consistent political line. As a result of this Facebook livestream, the Vietnamese government are looking to pressure KOLs and online influencers by increasing control over livestreaming: any social media account that has more than 10,000 followers must provide their contact information to the authorities. Social media platforms will be asked to remove content that has been flagged as problematic by government officials, highlighting Vietnam’s position on regulating foreign social media platforms, not only YouTube or Facebook specifically. This research draws on algorithmic visibility literature to examine the current state of regulation for Vietnamese social media users with a specific focus on KOLs. Drawing on several recent case studies, we highlight the current state of social media regulation in Vietnam, while also extrapolating the tension the country faces as it invests in and develops its digital and creative industries.

Algorithms and Public Interest? Protecting pluralism and diversity in media a...University of Sydney
This talk discusses algorithmic public service media (PSM) as an automation mechanism and policy lever to ensure diversity and pluralism in media. While commercial algorithmic platforms focus on popularity, PSM is tasked with social good. Algorithmic PSM could connect specific media with niche audiences in contrast to biases of commercial algorithms. It examines how PSM can utilize digital media and algorithms to meet its obligations within an increasingly automated environment, including through personalization, diversity of exposure, and critical analytics to measure impact beyond vanity metrics. Algorithmic PSM represents an opportunity for governments to support public media organizations and engage with large technology platforms on a more level playing field.
Shut it down or shape it up? The state of Vietnamese digital media in 2021University of Sydney
The document discusses the state of digital media in Vietnam in 2021. It notes tensions between the Vietnamese government and Facebook as the government seeks to regulate content on platforms. Digital media investment has grown significantly in recent years, but Vietnam ranks low on press freedom indices. Popular social media platforms in Vietnam include Facebook, YouTube, and Zalo, but government restrictions on political commentary are increasing. The document debates whether the government's approach to social media should be to shut platforms down or shape the content allowed on them.
Digital intermediation: Towards Transparent Public Automated MediaUniversity of Sydney
The document discusses digital intermediation, which refers to the combination of data (online content producers) and algorithms (automated decision making within media systems) and how they create new forms of online communities and knowledge exchange. It examines digital influencers and micro-platformization, where digital agencies ensure advertisers receive the appropriate influencer. It proposes three potential applications of digital intermediation: applying it to public service media, policy recommendations on regulatory systems, and designing algorithmic transparency interfaces. The overall aim is to understand how this new media ecosystem works and provide recommendations to help media organizations engage audiences on important issues.

Public lecture delivered to the Monash Culture, Media, Economy Focus Program: https://www.monash.edu/arts/media-film-journalism/news-and-events/events/events/digital-intermediation-automating-our-media-diversity
The document discusses how researchers can study digital data and online behavior that is not directly observable. It proposes adopting methods from ethnography, such as analyzing contextual relationships and temporal patterns in user data, to develop techniques for "data ethnography". These new methodologies are needed to allow researchers to continue studying issues related to digital platforms and the capitalization of personal information in a world of increasing data interoperability across many domains of society.
Public Service Media and Social TV: Co-creating television comedy with the ne...University of Sydney
Past years have seen a rapid growth in the uses of social media alongside conventional broadcast media such as radio and television. Television shows and networks have increasingly incorporated social media into their programming, for example by promoting the use of Twitter hashtags to channel user interaction with televised content and by showing a selection of incoming hashtagged tweets during live shows; by establishing dedicated Facebook fan pages and Twitter accounts for shows, presenters, or even fictional characters; or by providing their own bespoke social networks and apps such as Fango and Zeebox, which themselves often offer some degree of interconnection with mainstream social media platforms (Harrington, Highfield and Bruns, 2012). Collectively, such initiatives have become known as “social TV”.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
