Media Life is a course intended for undergraduate students across campus. Its goal is to make people aware of the role that media play in their everyday life. The key to understanding a "media life" is to see our lives not as lived WITH media (which would lead to a focus on media effects and media-centric theories of society), but rather IN media (where the distinction between what we do with and without media dissolves).

What happens to mainstream political journalism when it becomes more networked? We are often told that something has gone wrong with the reporting of politics in democracies like the UK. But can new forms of journalism supplemented by social media and citizen input help revive its function as the way that we find out about and debate political ideas and policies?
This lecture tries to show how in the UK and US there are now opportunities for better and more democratic journalism around politics. However, the role of public relations or spin and the failure of journalists to be critical and informed enough, means that the public is not getting the democratic benefit. This lecture looks at the case of the Nick Clegg 'Sorry' video and the Mother Jones story about Mitt Romney's secret 47% speech.
The digital divide and civic tech (TICTec 2016, Helen Milner)Helen Milner
Civic tech can't make the impact it needs to if those working in the sector don't understand that more than half of the world's population doesn't use the internet. Blending my knowledge of digital exclusion, digital inclusion and the digital divide, and my time on the Speaker's Commission for Digital Democracy, this speech asks some difficult questions about how we can work in partnership to make real impact for the people who need better democracies and better lives.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Norris: The pattern suggests that online contact does bring together like-minded souls, who share particular beliefs, hobbies or interests, probably due to the hyper-pluralism and ideological diversity widely evident on the Internet, as well as widening social diversity. Whatever the results on Nov. 4, we’re already prepared to declare the winner of Election 2008: YouTube. Founded in February 2005, the free video-sharing Web service is the killer application of the cycle. Consider these facts: First, YouTube is stealing time and attention from older broadcast media. In the 60 years that the top three TV networks have been broadcasting, they have produced about 1.5 million hours of content — assuming, for argument’s sake, that they have been broadcasting 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That’s the equivalent of about six months’ worth of YouTube uploads. Kansas State University professor Michael Wesch points out that the amount of content currently pouring onto YouTube — about 200,000 three-minute videos added every day — is the equivalent of 385 always-on TV channels. In July 2008 in the United States, approximately 91 million viewers looked at nearly 5 billion videos on YouTube. The typical viewer watched 55 videos on the site in that month, according to Comscore. Second, the service has become the ubiquitous resource for all things political. According to the Pew Research Center, as of this past spring, 35 percent of all Americans said they had watched online videos related to the campaign, triple the level of 2004. One out of 10 Internet users — people who told Pew that they at least occasionally use the Net or send or receive e-mail — said they have either forwarded or posted someone else’s political video. YouTube is used both for instant response and for deep recall. Every day, the candidates and their supporters upload snippets of video from an event, sometimes even before the event concludes, in the hopes of catching the attention of the networked public sphere. At the same time, people are searching for and watching videos of content they may have missed but want to catch up on — whether it’s the latest “Saturday Night Live” parody or an old speech by a candidate. YouTube has become the instant replay or, more appropriately, the TiVo of our time. Third, YouTube has made it possible for the presidential campaigns to become full-fledged media operations, delivering their messages directly to voters without any intermediaries such as the mainstream media — and at a fraction of the price of paid TV ads. Together, Barack Obama and John McCain’s YouTube channels have received more than 100 million video views — though it’s telling to look at the different ways the two campaigns use the service. As of this writing, McCain’s channel contained just over 300 videos, with about 20 million views in all. Nearly all of his videos are short, well-produced pieces that look like, and in many cases are, TV commercials. Of his top 10 most-viewed videos, only one of them — a nearly eight-minute clip of a Sarah Palin speech — breaks that mold.
