The publicly funded Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has a unique, participatory relationship with the science academy that is showcased on the CBC documentary website Geologic Journey II. Although academics work on interesting projects that have great relevance to those outside academic circles, their work is generally published in journals or texts that are not often accessed or easily understood by the general public. On Geologic Journey II, contemporary research is highlighted in a manner that makes it easily accessible and showcases scientific findings to a much wider audience.
Through the lens of media logic, using the theories of convergence culture and the public sphere, in this paper I explore how the relationship between CBC and the science academy invigorates public discourse, and why building relationships with community partners makes good business sense for a public broadcaster.
This document summarizes a report that examines how 14 democratic countries fund and protect the independence of public media. It finds that countries generally use several approaches: multi-year funding to lessen political pressure; structures that link public media directly to audiences; charters that require public-interest content while restricting government influence; and independent agencies/boards as buffers between media and governments. As a result, public media provide more public affairs coverage and viewpoints than commercial media. However, countries vary in how well their systems are funded and insulated from political interference. The report provides models for the U.S. to consider strengthening its own modest public media system.
This document discusses the changing landscape of political journalism in the digital age. It notes that new forms of communication online were thought to provide new outlets to bypass traditional media, but in reality digital media can be more pernicious and less balanced. It examines how political journalism now works with power, media, and the public interconnected online. Key changes discussed include hypertextuality, interactivity, multi-mediality, and the abundance and diversity of information sources. The document questions whether these new forms of journalism can still fulfill the core functions of informing the public, fostering debate, and holding power to account.
This document provides an introduction and background to a book about the impact of social media on political parties and power balances. It discusses debates around social media's revolutionary potential in politics and notes most studies have focused on exceptional cases or US politics. The book aims to examine social media's impact on "normal politics" and power relations between parties using the Netherlands as a comparative case study.
Gatewatching and News Curation: Journalism, Social Media, and the Public SphereAxel Bruns
This document summarizes key points from the book "Gatewatching and News Curation: Journalism, Social Media, and the Public Sphere" by Axel Bruns. It discusses how social media has become a tertiary space for news that does not privilege journalists, how metrics can promote populism, and how gatewatching and sharing news is now habitual. It also notes opportunities for journalists as curators and personal brands, and how generational shifts are increasing reliance on social media as a primary news source while platforms siphon advertising revenue.
Rachel Miller Social Media and Image in Political CampaignsRachel Miller M.S
This document discusses how political campaigns have changed with new media like the internet and social media. It focuses on how image and motivation are key aspects of campaigns and how they are impacted by these changes. Specifically, it notes that the internet allows for more rapid spread of information, both positive and negative, which can impact a candidate's image. It also discusses how social media can help campaigns motivate voters and keep them engaged throughout the process.
1. Young people consume news media differently during election periods than their daily routines. Television remains the main source for election news, even as internet and print sources grow in popularity among younger groups.
2. Girls in the study showed less interest in following election campaigns than boys. Television is still an important unifying media for families, despite the rise of individualized news consumption online.
3. As new media like the internet emerge, television is becoming a more niche source perceived as more credible by some, though it still dominates how people access election results and debates. Radio is rarely used for news while print newspapers remain more important but can't compete with television for election coverage.
Gatewatching and News Curation: Journalism, Social Media, and the Public SphereAxel Bruns
This document summarizes key points from the book "Gatewatching and News Curation: Journalism, Social Media, and the Public Sphere" by Axel Bruns. It discusses how social media has disrupted journalism by allowing the public to directly participate in the news process through acts of citizen journalism, gatewatching, and news sharing. While this has shifted the balance of power away from traditional media, it has also created new opportunities for journalists and news organizations to engage with audiences on social platforms. However, the rise of audience metrics and platform dominance poses challenges around funding models and potential filter bubbles.
This document discusses the relationship between media and politics. It explores how politicians, journalists, and citizens shape news coverage and how media has changed politics. Media now plays a central role in politics by influencing politicians and political campaigns. Politicians also try to influence media coverage. The relationship is complex, with both sides relying on each other while also exerting power over one another. Foundations provide over $1.8 billion in funding to support various media-related activities in the U.S. Accountability and independence of media is important to balance the rights of individuals, communities, and press freedom.

This was a talk to George Washington University students about how the process of government and politics is becoming 'mediatised'. By that I mean that the process of creating and implementing policies, as well as reporting and deliberating upon politics, is becoming saturated in an unprecedented volume and variety of sources, platforms and content creators. This creates a kind of networked politics. This has good aspects and bad.
New Media Practical Skills for Serbian Journalists Workshop July 2015 Dr Bill...Arizona State University
These are the Powerpoint slides converted from Keynote used during a workshop conducted by myself in partnership with the US Embassy Belgrade and IN. #Newmediabelgrade
join us on twitter in the conversation to explore New Media and Practical Skills
Workshop Purpose: This year will be tough for many media professionals. Completion of privatization and withdrawal of the state from media ownership of all media outlets in Serbia in mid-2015 will result in the bankruptcy and closure of many small media organizations that fail to find buyers. The goal of the seminar is to assist Serbian media professionals (reporters, photographers, cameramen, web editors) to shift focus to online media, which can provide low- or no-cost platforms for professional journalists. The workshop will teach local participants to replicate successful American new media/online models.
Workshop Mission: To help journalists explore the latest tools and technologies of new media. To reflect on their own role as a journalist and storyteller and what their personal brand is becoming. To understand more completely social media trends such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and others - and their impact on traditional news and your professional career. To share, explore and put into practice the most innovative and functional social media tools to deliver better news and public affairs to the people of Serbia and to create sustainable incomes for individual journalists.
Workshop key questions and objectives: What do you want to learn? What do you want to have happen? Who is responsible for the learning to occur? How can you make a difference?
Learning Outcomes: During these workshops, journalists should actively learn how to use online media, Internet and its resources for reporting. They should explore the power of personal and professional branding. We also will look at financial sustainability of online media, particularly news web portals, and the future of journalism.
This document discusses the changing relationship between politics, journalism, and citizens in an era of networked communication. It notes that political reporting is now faster, more saturated, and disintermediated as journalists, politicians, and citizens are directly networked. This mediatization of politics can undermine truth, politicize civil servants, and lead policy to follow media agendas. Both journalists and politicians struggle with issues like spin, lack of attention, and cynicism. New media gives citizens more direct voice but can also fragment discussion and spread misinformation. The role of journalists is to filter information for citizens while upholding traditional watchdog functions, but the real challenge is how to engage public attention on issues like climate change in this new environment.
The document discusses the role of mass media in politics in Kazakhstan, the UK, and the USA. It notes that in Kazakhstan, the media plays a substantial role in political development by informing citizens about parties and issues. It then provides key political dates in Kazakhstan's history related to media development. It also discusses levels of trust in different media sources in Kazakhstan. For the UK, it states that television is the primary source of political information. For the USA, it emphasizes the importance of mass media in elections, with candidates spending billions on television ads, and media focusing more on dramatic moments than policy issues. It concludes by noting that media are often not fully objective due to political influence.
1) In the postwar era from 1945-1970s, British voting behavior was highly predictable, with strong correlations between social class, occupation, and voting patterns. However, beginning in the 1970s-1980s, a period of "dealignment" began as class distinctions weakened and voting became less predictable.
2) As dealignment occurred, the "communications barrier" between the media and the public eroded, allowing the media to have more influence on the public in areas like agenda-setting, learning, framing issues, and persuasion.
3) Studies found correlations between the partisan leanings of British newspapers and their readers, though it was unclear if the media shaped views or readers chose congenial papers
Political journalism and reporting of the 2015 UK General ElectionPOLIS LSE
- Political journalism is changing as news media becomes more networked and citizens have more direct access to information and ability to participate.
- Traditional political journalism provided information about policies and events, facilitated deliberation through debate and analysis, and held politicians accountable through investigation.
- However, both politicians and the public have problems with political journalism, such as perceived bias, lack of expertise, and irrelevance.
- New media allows for more citizen voice and direct access to information but can also fragment discussions and spread misinformation. The role of journalists is shifting to curating relevant information for audiences while still upholding accountability.

In their article, authors Nichols and McChesney discuss the crisis of journalism in America and its decline, which threatens democracy. They argue that media companies prioritized profits over professional journalism, leading to less news content. While some blame new technologies or economics, the authors believe the crisis stems from media consolidation reducing authentic journalism. To revive the industry, they propose government intervention through indirect subsidies, which they argue need not threaten media independence.
The document discusses several models of mass communication effects:
1. The hypodermic needle model suggests media can precisely inject ideas into passive audiences.
2. The magic bullet model from the 1940s-50s viewed media as a powerful influence on behavior change.
3. The two-step flow model proposes opinions spread from media to opinion leaders then to the public.
4. Cultivation theory argues heavy media exposure shapes viewers' perceptions of social reality.
5. Agenda-setting theory holds media influence public issues by deciding what is newsworthy.

This document summarizes a forum that brought together public diplomacy practitioners, policy makers, and public opinion researchers. The forum aimed to foster discussion around the relationship between public diplomacy and world public opinion, with a focus on bridging the gaps between these communities. It included leaders from polling organizations, foreign policy think tanks, and academia. The resulting papers explore opportunities for greater collaboration between those who study public opinion and those who practice public diplomacy.

John F. Kennedy had a significant influence on the evolution of mass media in the United States. As a politician in the 1960s, a time when television was growing as a new medium, JFK was skilled in using television to directly communicate with the public. He presented himself effectively on television and helped shift television's role from merely entertainment to a tool for influencing public opinion and political campaigns. As the first president to effectively harness television's power, JFK helped revolutionize how politicians engaged with media and contributed to establishing television as a major force in politics and society.

This document discusses analyses of user comments on YouTube videos about school shootings. It summarizes three main discursive areas found in the comments: 1) Bullying, with comments debating whether the shooters were bullied or not, 2) Trauma, with comments expressing sorrow for the victims, and 3) Social politics, with comments drawing connections to war or criticizing American gun culture. The document also notes that some comments exhibited disinhibition and racism. It concludes by discussing the potential for real-time social media monitoring and issues around privacy and access.
The persistent case of media effects research [lecture 2011]Rob Jewitt
1. The document traces the historical trajectory of media effects research through four phases: from viewing media as all-powerful, to its effects being challenged, to powerful media being revisited, to negotiating how audiences make meaning from media.
2. Across these phases, research approaches and theories have shifted from behaviorism and conditioning, to cultivation analysis and social learning theory, to examining how audiences actively interpret media rather than being passive receivers.
3. A key challenge is that it is difficult to isolate the specific influence of media from other variables on behaviors, and research approaches each have their limitations such as lack of external validity or real-world application.
Consequences of democratic citizens' policy agenda 2jordanlachance
This document proposes and tests a model to understand how Americans form judgments about the seriousness of global warming as a national problem. The model, called the ACE model, examines how beliefs about the existence and causes of global warming, attitudes toward its consequences, and certainty about beliefs and attitudes influence assessments of global warming's seriousness. The study tests the model using data from two surveys and finds support for the relationships proposed in the model. The findings point to psychological mechanisms that may shape public opinion and policy preferences on issues like global warming.
1. The document discusses the personalization of news media through an increased focus on human interest stories, celebrities, and ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
2. It explores the reasons why news outlets may personalize content, including to explain events through individuals and engage audiences, but also notes dangers like detracting from factual information or oversimplifying issues.
3. The document concludes that while personalization helps news producers connect with fragmented audiences, it can encourage a passive response and lower news quality when it replaces substantive news with infotainment or tabloid-style content.
This document provides an overview of a lecture on public service broadcasting, quality programming, and audience engagement. It discusses key themes like the role of public service broadcasting in Europe and the UK. It outlines debates around the purpose of public broadcasting and challenges it faces. The document also describes the methodology used in a study on audience perceptions of public and private media in the UK and Brazil, including a survey of 149 students and interviews with journalists. It covers findings on media consumption, views of different genres and what constitutes "quality" programming. The advantages and limitations of quantitative analysis methods like surveys are also summarized.
This document discusses the political and social power of mass media. It defines mass media and explores its role in informing the public and shaping societal agendas. Examples are given of how social media helped organize protests that led to regime changes. Al Jazeera is presented as a case study due to its influential coverage of Arab uprisings. The concluding question posed is what or who shapes the media's own agenda if it shapes the public's.
This document summarizes Jesper Strömbäck's four phases of mediatization theory. The four phases are: 1) mass media becomes the main source of information, 2) mass media becomes independent from political power, 3) political and social actors start adapting to mass media, and 4) social and political actors internalize media logic. The document provides context on Strömbäck and what media logic is. It then analyzes the four phases theory, noting the phases occurred from the 17th century to present day. The document concludes with a SWOT analysis of the four phases theory.
This document discusses how the rise of new communication technologies and social media have impacted politics and power dynamics. It argues that mass self-communication through blogs, social media, etc. allows non-institutional social movements to gain influence and shape political debates. While traditional media and politicians still hold power, they now recognize the influence of new online communication channels. Social media gives more actors the ability to set the political agenda rather than relying on traditional gatekeepers like editors. Recent social movements have used these new communication avenues to modify traditional power structures.
Mac201 television constructing the publicRob Jewitt
This document discusses the role of media in shaping public opinion and functioning as a public sphere. It examines debates around the responsibilities of broadcasters to stakeholders versus audiences. The ideal role of news media is seen as disseminating accurate, politically relevant information to contribute to an informed civic society. However, contemporary media are argued to have become "re-feudalized" due to ownership, advertising, and spin. The document analyzes BBC and ITV news coverage of public opinion and finds they construct audiences as apathetic. It also discusses whether shows like Question Time truly represent public spheres or serve ratings.

Journalism, Disinformation and Facebook: How to Survive an EarthquakeSelf-employed
This document summarizes a presentation about the challenges facing journalism in a time of increasing disinformation and the shifting power dynamics around information distribution. It notes that journalism is struggling to find a business model in the digital age. Additionally, social networks have disrupted established flows of information and given more power to opaque algorithms and private companies over public discourse. This poses challenges for democracy, which requires some consensus around facts and truth. The presentation calls for rethinking how journalism engages audiences and addresses the root issues rather than just focusing on internal changes. Cooperation is needed between various actors to address problems that no single group can solve alone.
Libraries are providing social media classes to the community but how do they actively engage with it themselves?

Presented at Customs House Library, City of Sydney on 27 June 2013.
This document discusses the role of the media in a democracy. It examines different types of media like television, radio, newspapers, and social media. It explores how politicians use media to influence voters through staged events, photos, social media, and by claiming bias. The document also analyzes theories about the power of media, including the hypodermic needle theory, uses and gratifications theory, and cultural effects theory. Finally, it discusses the rights and responsibilities of media to inform voters and hold leaders accountable, as well as arguments for and against greater government regulation of media.
Gatewatching 4: Random Acts of Gatewatching: Everyday Newssharing PracticesAxel Bruns
Lecture 4 in the course From Gatekeeping to Gatewatching: News and Journalism in the Digital Age.
This lecture series addresses the continuing transformation of the production and consumption of journalism in the contemporary media environment. It provides a brief history of the impact of participatory online news production and engagement practices – from the first wave of citizen journalism to the social media platforms of today – on how news content is disseminated and experienced; examines reactive and proactive responses to these changes by news organisations and journalists; and explores the longer-term impact of these developments on the public sphere, touching on the power of social media platforms and their role in shaping their users’ information diets.
Readings are largely drawn from Gatewatching and News Curation: Journalism, Social Media, and the Public Sphere (Bruns, 2018), with additional readings recommended for selected lectures.

1 Paper Presented Fer Cenmep Conferece Politician Online Analyses Of Estoia...Pedro Craggett
This paper examines how Estonian political candidates used their websites during the 2009 European Parliament election campaign. The study analyzes the effectiveness of candidates' website presentations and their use of multimedia, interactivity, and personalization. The analyses found that while candidates had blogs and social media profiles, they mostly used these for marketing rather than deliberative politics or civic engagement. Candidates provided little personal input or interactivity on their websites. In general, Estonian political websites did not offer many opportunities for public participation in debates or discussions.
Citizen journalism emerged in the late 1980s and 1990s as new technologies allowed ordinary people to expose news and share information more quickly than traditional media. Citizen journalism plays an important role in filling information gaps when mainstream media faces restrictions, as seen in examples from Tunisia, Syria, and London riots. New media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter have become important sources of information about breaking news and social movements reported outside of official channels.
This document discusses the roles and functions of media. It covers how media sources gather and distribute information, though the means of delivery have changed over time. The document outlines the history of media and journalism in the US and how the field has evolved. It also examines how media can influence public opinion and the relationship between media and partisan politics. Key topics covered include the roles of journalists, the rise of new media formats, and theories about media effects on audiences.
Social Media Week Copenhagen @ UN City: Communication for Development at a Cr...tobiasdenskus
Thomas Tufte, Tobias Denskus and Norbert Wildermuth are some of the leading scholars in Scandinavia in the field of Communication for Development (C4D). They are all part of the bi-national research centre Ørecomm hosted at Roskilde University, Denmark and Malmø University, Sweden. Ørecomm works on exploring the interrelationship between media, communication and glocal change processes and they organize a large yearly festival in the Øresund’s region every September.
Thomas Tufte, Tobias Denskus and Norbert Wildermuth have all agreed to present their latest research regarding role and use of social media amongst social movements, within civil society and amongst established organisations, i.e. the UN. New media developments and massive civic engagement using the social media are sparking new dynamics and new challenges into the way communication for development is conceived and performed. What are the issues in these current developments and where is both the theory and practice of C4D heading?
Besides introducing the challenges and benefits outlined above, the three presenters will together with a representative from United Nations discuss the future role of social media in pursuit of social inclusion, accountability and empowerment.
This week's lecture and seminar discussed tabloid journalism. The lecture defined tabloid media as covering tabloid newspaper format, changing journalistic values, and sensational content over substance. While tabloids engage readers through relatable human interest stories, they may undermine reporting on issues of public concern. The seminar debated whether media should be regulated for freedom or quality, and whether tabloids inform or distract the public.
Citizens, Journalists and User-Generated ContentNick Jankowski
This document summarizes research on user-generated content and citizen journalism. It discusses how user-generated content has long been central to community media. It reviews previous research on whether community media "mattered" and if it gave citizens a voice. It argues this research missed how community media has changed in the digital age. It provides the example of OhmyNews, a site where citizens and journalists collaborate to provide news. It suggests more study is needed on how such collaboration between citizens and journalists can flourish.
