Bill Dutton's presentation on the contributions of Fred Williams, founding Dean of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California.
The document discusses social media and its role in the 2011 London riots. It notes that 37% of British teenagers own a Blackberry, which some rioters used to organize via BBM. Facebook and Twitter were used both by rioters to share photos of stolen goods, and by clean-up groups to coordinate their efforts. The idea of Henry Jenkins is discussed in the context of how youth representations could be analyzed during the riots, noting Jenkins' views on participatory culture and social connections. Examples are given of how some youths challenged negative media portrayals through campaigns like "Not in my name" and "Young not dumb."
Media studies emerged in the UK in the 1960s from the academic study of English and challenged distinctions between high and popular culture. Influential journals like "Screen" were established in the 1970s. The 1980s saw developments in computing, telecommunications, and Len Masterman's influential works on teaching media. National GCSE courses in media studies launched in the 1980s/90s. The 1990s saw media studies gain recognition worldwide, though it still required justification as an academic subject. Into the 2000s, technology growth and recognition of children's media experience helped promote media education. Schools now have technologies for media production across curriculums.
This document provides an introduction to media studies. It defines media as collective communication outlets used to deliver information, including television, music, newspapers, the internet and advertising. Media studies is described as the discipline that analyzes content, history and effects of mass media. The document outlines the importance of media literacy in making sense of increasing media messages. It then gives a brief history of media development and an overview of four eras in the evolution of media theories, from early mass society theories to current cultural criticism approaches. Key theories from each era are also summarized.
Chapter 12 of a university course in media history by Prof. Bill Kovarik, based on the book Revolutions in Communication: Media History from Gutenberg to the Digital Age (Bloomsbury, 2nd ed., 2015).
This document outlines a lesson plan on the evolution of traditional media to new media. It discusses four ages: prehistoric, industrial, electronic, and digital. In the lesson, students will examine the technology available in each age to communicate, store information, and broadcast information. They will fill out a table comparing the devices used across the different eras. The goal is for students to understand how media has changed over time and to identify traditional and new media forms.
History of Instructional Design and TechnologyBen Clark
The document traces the history of instructional design and technology from the early 1900s to the present. It highlights several key events and developments, including the first use of media for instructional purposes in 1905, the emergence of visual instruction and audiovisual instruction between 1905-1930s, the influence of cognitive psychology principles in the 1980s, and the increasing focus on constructivist and learner-centered approaches from the 1990s onward. The field has evolved significantly over the past century due to technological innovations and refinements in instructional strategies.
This document provides a timeline summary of the history of instructional design and technology from 3330 BC to 2013. Some of the key developments included the emergence of pictographic writing, the printing press, photography, radio, television, the internet, online learning platforms, and digital technologies that have transformed education. Major milestones were the first correspondence schools in the United States in the 1800s, the introduction of educational films and programs in the early 1900s, and the growth of distance education through radio, television and online learning over the 20th century.

Young adults frequently use Facebook. This document examines how young adults used Facebook during the 2010-2011 earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand. It discusses how social media both adds to culture but also transforms it, as seen with its use by authorities, media, and citizens during disasters like the Queensland floods to disseminate information on a global scale, including opportunities for citizen journalists to break news stories.
Click-To-Send: Why Camera Phones Matter in Today’s News CycleJeffreyBo
The document summarizes how camera phone images shaped media coverage of the 2005 London bombings. Alexander Chadwick, a survivor of the bombings, took a grainy camera phone photo inside a darkened subway tunnel. His photo was among thousands uploaded to news sites and became one of the defining images used by media to tell the story. The widespread sharing of amateur photos and videos transformed how the media reports on breaking news by supplementing and sometimes replacing professional content with user-generated material. The event marked a turning point where citizens became active participants in the news process through ubiquitous mobile technology.

The document traces how viewpoints and the field itself have evolved over time to incorporate new technologies and research insights.
This document discusses the characteristics of Millennial learners or Generation Y. Some key points made:
- Millennials were born between 1982-2002 and grew up with technology being ubiquitous. They are digital natives, comfortable with technology from a young age.
- They value collaboration and are family-oriented. Their use of technology includes social media, smartphones, tablets, and streaming services.
- Their constant exposure to technology has impacted education, making it more student-centered, networked, and collaborative with more access to information. However, it also brings challenges like plagiarism and privacy issues.
Television has become an integral part of everyday life, serving as both a global and local news source as well as a way to access cultural information. It is also a major money maker. Interactive television allows for greater viewer participation, such as with American Idol and Dancing with the Stars which allow voting, or Lost which included games and polls. As technology advances, interactive television is expected to increase social networking and custom television programs, with broadcasters integrating more interactivity rather than traditional passive viewing.

The document discusses the emergence of a "Fifth Estate" enabled by networked individuals on the Internet. It presents findings from surveys showing increasing use of social networks and user-generated content. It proposes that networked individuals, if they reach a critical mass, can hold institutions accountable in new ways outside of the traditional Fourth Estate of journalists and media. However, realizing this potential requires engaging rather than resisting regulation that could undermine trust and access online.

Finally, whipped cream is piped over the top and garnished with toasted nuts.
This document discusses the rise of the "Fifth Estate" enabled by the Internet. It defines the Fifth Estate as a critical mass of individuals who can source their own information and network with others in ways that support distributed social accountability in various sectors. It outlines how networked individuals are empowering themselves through citizen journalism, political organizing, open data projects, and patient networks. However, it notes the Fifth Estate is not a substitute for institutions and faces challenges from those who oppose its influence. The document draws on various research projects at Oxford University to support its analysis of this emerging concept.

A presentation underpinning a discussion with participants in the wide-area network (WAN) summit held on 26 September 2022 in London at the QEII. It is based on initial descriptive results of a 2022 global survey of over 7,000 internet users on their workplaces prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, during the pandemic, and currently. Questions also address the cybersecurity issues they faced during each stage of the pandemic. The rise of working from home and hybrid working are clear along with declines in office work and the use of decentralised offices. The survey was designed by our research team at the Global Centre for Cybersecurity Capacity Building at the University of Oxford in collaboration with Grape Data, a new and innovative survey research organisation, which fielded the survey.
Presentation for the Seminar on Contemporary Issues of Communication and Culture, Escola de Sociologia e Políticas Públicas, Lisbon University Institute, Lisbon, Portugal, 29 April 2021.
The document discusses the emergence of a "Fifth Estate" enabled by the internet and social media. It defines the Fifth Estate as a collectivity of civic-minded individuals who use digital tools to enhance their communicative power and hold powerful actors and institutions accountable. It analyzes case studies like Darnella Frazier, Greta Thunberg, and citizen detective Paul Haynes to show how individuals have contributed to issues like climate change and criminal justice. The document also outlines strategies used by the Fifth Estate like searching, creating, distributing information, networking, and developing collective intelligence. It acknowledges threats like misinformation but argues the Fifth Estate perspective emphasizes digital rights, responsibilities, and continuing to hold powerful actors accountable through open participation and cooperation

Presentation on fake news, filter bubbles, and echo chambers for representatives of media and regulatory agencies at Palace Foz (Lisbon), 9 April 2018, by Bill Dutton.
The document summarizes key findings from a study on how internet users search for and access political information online across 7 countries. Some of the main findings are that search engines are the most common way people find political information online, users report getting information from multiple sources both online and offline, and they frequently check facts and information from different sources. The study also found that relatively few users actively block or censor others online due to differing political views. It concludes that concerns about "filter bubbles" and "echo chambers" are often overhyped and that most users are discerning in how they evaluate online information.
