The document discusses sociological perspectives on mass media. It covers functionalist, conflict, and feminist views. Functionalist views see media as reinforcing social norms and conferring status. Conflict views see media reflecting social divisions and gatekeeping by elites. Feminist views see stereotypical gender portrayals in media. It also discusses the media industry, audiences, and social policy debates around media violence.
In this presentation, given at the end of this semester's CM443/743 class (New Media and Public Relations), I predict the end of the world, and whether social media will be the cause of it. I also create the "Societal Collapse Index," a score inspired by the HANDY model that is based on a country's EPI (Environmental Performance Index) and its World Bank Gini score. Based on their most recent EPI and Gini scores, the top five societies I predict the collapse of are: The Central African Republic, South Africa, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi.
Higher levels of economic segregation are associated with lower incomes, particularly for black residents. Higher levels of racial segregation are associated with lower incomes for blacks, lower educational attainment for whites and blacks, and lower levels of safety for all area residents.”

The world “Media is a plural Latin noun; the singular form is medium”. So it is correct to call television a “medium” and to refer to multiple types of communication as “Media”.
What is the difference between mass communication, mass media, and.docxphilipnelson29183
What is the difference between mass communication, mass media, and mass media outlets?
Mass communication- the industrialized production and multiple distribution of messages through technological devices.
Mass media- the technological instruments through which mass communication takes place
Mass media outlets- send out the messages through mass media
What kinds of mass media outlets do you use everyday? ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CNN, New York Times, Wall Street Journal ,etc.
Convergence- the confluence or coming together of different media factors
Three types-
Technological- the coming together of technologies in a digital environment.
The best example of technological convergence that I can think of is a smartphone. Think about all of the different things that your phone does. It’s not really even a phone…it’s more of a pocket computer. It’s a web browser, social media browser, music player, screen for movies, TV, Netflix, Hulu, camera, camcorder, video game, calculator, email, chatting, telephone machine (I’m sure I missed a bunch of things too).
Economic- the merging of Internet companies and telecommunication companies with mass media companies.
Consolidation- large companies merging to form bigger companies
Mass Media Conglomerate- a company that holds several mass media firms in different media industries under its corporate structure.
Usually involves having a parent company and subsidiaries of that company.
The mass media landscape has been shrinking rapidly within the past 30 years or so. Particularly in the mid1990s media acquisitions were occurring at a rapid pace. AOL-Time Warner, Disney and ABC, News Corp and Fox.
The issue with media conglomerates is really the concentration of mass media ownership
So, what’s the problem?
1 It means that fewer people get to set the agenda.
Agenda setting- not telling people what to think, but rather what to think about- ESPN with the World Cup vs. NHL
2.It’s homogenizing- there is a fewer number of viewpoints that are being discussed
3. It’s bad for democracy- people aren’t citizens (connected and involved in the process) they’re consumers of media being sold a political image. The fear is journalism becomes corrupted because it’s owned by a large company. Remember journalists are the watchdogs of our democracy. If they’re not reporting on a story, or if a politician is playing to media outlets instead of worrying about what the morally correct decision is that hurts us as a society.
The important thing here is the evaporation of diversity in ownership here only a hand full of companies own 90% of the media we consume now. This is essentially an oligopoly- an economic structure in which a few very large, powerful, and rich owners control an industry or collection of related industry
Cultural convergence- media products transcending cultural boundaries –
Why is it important to think about culture and the mass media? Mass media is the first place outside of the family that we learn o.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
