KCB201 Week 7 Lecture (Barry Saunders): DIY Media and Collaboration

KCB201 Week 7 Lecture (Barry Saunders): DIY Media and Collaboration

This document discusses the long history of DIY (do-it-yourself) media and collaboration. It mentions various examples of DIY media over time, including zines, punk and folk music, community radio and TV, blogging, open source software, citizen journalism projects, webcomics, and machinima. It also discusses how lowered costs of equipment and distribution have made DIY media more popular and provided opportunities for both amateur and professional artists.

All the World's a Library: Produsage and User-Led Curation (ARLIS 2008 Keynote)

The document discusses the emergence of "produsage," where users are becoming producers of content through various online activities like open source software, wikis, social bookmarking, and user reviews. It outlines a new "value chain" where the roles of producer and consumer are blurred as content is iteratively developed through collaborative contributions. Folksonomies of user-generated tags are discussed as an alternative to formal taxonomies for organizing this user-led content. The opportunities and challenges for libraries and information professionals are considered in helping curate and manage this new landscape of participatory knowledge production.

Teaching the Produsers: Preparing Students for User-Led Content Production

The document discusses the emergence of user-led content production, where users actively create and share content online through means such as open source software, blogs, wikis, and social media. This represents a shift to "produsage", where the roles of producer, distributor, and consumer are blurred as users take on active roles in content creation. It argues that education needs to prepare students for this new paradigm by cultivating skills like creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication.

The User Led Disruption: Self-(Re)broadcasting at Justin.tv and Elsewhere

The User Led Disruption: Self-(Re)broadcasting at Justin.tv and Elsewhere

The document discusses how users are disrupting television through self-broadcasting and rebroadcasting of content on platforms like Justin.tv. It notes that different genres of television content are being affected in different ways, with news and sports especially seeing live streaming and rebroadcasting. While punitive measures have failed to stop this behavior, territorial licensing schemes are also ineffective for online distribution given dispersed global audiences. The document argues there is a market for global live sports streaming services but licensing would need to change from territory-by-territory models.

New Perspectives on Social Media: Putting Our ‘Known Unknowns’ on the Map

New Perspectives on Social Media: Putting Our ‘Known Unknowns’ on the Map

This document discusses new approaches to researching social media at scale using data mining and network analysis techniques. It notes that while traditional qualitative and small-scale quantitative research on social media provides insights, there is a need to study phenomena like communities and user behaviors over large populations and extended timeframes. The document outlines tools like crawlers, scrapers, and network/text analyzers that can access and analyze massive amounts of publicly available social media data. It provides examples of how such techniques could shed light on dynamics in domains like blogs, music listening, and Wikipedia editing. The document calls for more interdisciplinary work at the intersection of cultural studies, computer science, and research technologies to fully realize the potential of these new approaches.

Crowdsourcing is radically changing the geodata landscape

Crowdsourcing, specifically OpenStreetMap, is radically changing geospatial data by allowing the general public to contribute mapping data. OpenStreetMap data is now comparable or better than some commercial data sources in terms of coverage and accuracy. However, it remains unclear whether established commercial mapping companies or new competitors will be better able to capitalize on crowdsourced data going forward.

Identifying the Symptoms of Destructive Polarisation

This document discusses research into destructive political polarization. It presents a project studying polarization across multiple countries over time using various online data sources. Five symptoms of destructive polarization are identified: breakdown of communication, discrediting information, erasure of complexities, disproportionate attention to extremes, and exclusion through emotions. A referendum in Australia on an Indigenous Voice is used as a case study, and analysis of social media content around it reveals examples of several symptoms, including extreme views receiving attention and complex issues being oversimplified. Further research perspectives are discussed, such as more systematically diagnosing symptoms and evaluating polarization across different forms and platforms.

The document discusses the rise and fall of Twitter as a social media platform. It describes how Twitter started as a niche platform that gained widespread popularity for connecting communities and sharing news in real-time using hashtags. However, over time Twitter struggled with inconsistent management, a slow response to misinformation and harassment, and changes that disrupted the third-party development community. After Elon Musk's acquisition, he laid off much of Twitter's staff and promoted policies that led to increased confusion, chaos and the spread of disinformation, contributing to Twitter's decline.

This document summarizes the rise and fall of the Twitter platform. It describes how Twitter started as a niche site in 2006 but grew to be an important platform for news, communities, and public discourse. However, inconsistent management and slow responses to challenges like misinformation contributed to its decline. Elon Musk's chaotic leadership after acquiring Twitter in 2022 accelerated this, through mass layoffs, attacks on content moderation, and promotion of disinformation, further undermining the role Twitter once played.

This document discusses types of polarization that can be studied in digital media, including micro, meso, and macro levels as well as issue-based, ideological, affective, perceived, and interactional forms. It describes a research project studying drivers of partisanship and polarization across multiple countries over time using digital methods like topic modeling, sentiment analysis, and network analysis. Examples are given of analyzing polarization on topics like climate change on Twitter and political rhetoric on Facebook. Finally, it outlines perspectives on further defining symptoms of dysfunctional polarization and developing more systematic diagnostic approaches.

Gatewatching 5: Weaponising Newssharing: ‘Fake News’ and Other Malinformation

This document summarizes a research project analyzing the dissemination of problematic information on Facebook from 2016 to 2021. The researchers compiled a list of over 2,300 "fake news" domains and collected Facebook posts sharing links to those domains. They analyzed the link-sharing network between public Facebook pages/groups and domains, identifying clusters that commonly share the same domains. They also analyzed the on-sharing network between public Facebook spaces to identify communities with common interests spreading this information. The goal is to better understand the dynamics, themes, and networks involved in spreading problematic information at scale on social media over time.

Gatewatching 10: New(s) Publics in the Public Sphere

Gatewatching 10: New(s) Publics in the Public Sphere

Lecture 10 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. Reading for this lecture: Bruns, A. (2018). New(s) Publics in the Public Sphere. Gatewatching and News Curation: Journalism, Social Media, and the Public Sphere. Ch. 8. Peter Lang.

Gatewatching 4: Random Acts of Gatewatching: Everyday Newssharing Practices

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. Reading for this lecture: Bruns, A. (2018). Random Acts of Gatewatching: Everyday Newssharing Practices. Gatewatching and News Curation: Journalism, Social Media, and the Public Sphere. Ch. 4.
