The document discusses how Twitter could potentially meet the requirements of a free and responsible press in a democratic society. It lists five requirements: providing a truthful account of the day's events in context, being a forum for comment and criticism, allowing for the projection of group opinions, presenting societal goals and values, and reaching everyone with information. It also discusses challenges like differences in race, class, gender, geography and generation that influence communication. Finally, it compares the approaches of Hutchins, Maynard and Obama's team regarding social media and its role in democracy.

This document discusses a study on public connections and media consumption among college-educated individuals in Mexico City. Some key findings were that people have an understanding of what public issues are but low trust in politics. Public issues included both politics and social/cultural topics. People's daily lives show a blurring of public and private spheres. Media plays a strong role in how people understand public issues through agenda-setting and priming effects. New forms of participation through social networks were found rather than traditional political channels. The document raises questions about how to define "public" and whether youth are interested in public issues, and how they can participate through new digital means or if this discourages real participation.
Khatuna S. - Micro Narratives - UNDP - Georgia
This document discusses using media and technology to research tolerance levels towards LGBT, religious, and ethnic minorities in Georgia. It proposes using a web-based survey, mobile apps, and social media to engage stakeholders like the Public Defender's Office and NGOs working on minority issues. The goals are to tackle issues related to minorities, improve people's lives, change perceptions and foster understanding through accessible knowledge on the issues. UNDP blogs and social media platforms would disseminate the results to support citizen-driven social innovation.

Slides from a workshop on how journalists can use Twitter and other social media as reporting and publishing tools. Presented to editors and writers at AARP the Magazine and AARP Bulletin on June 12, 2009.
The transformation of Professional Development- An imagination exercise
In 20 years, the workforce and professional development will look very different due to demographic shifts. By 2035:
- The global population will reach 8 billion with India surpassing China as the most populated country. The elderly population will grow 4 times faster than the working class.
- The workforce will be highly mobile, half men and half women, with Christianity no longer dominant. Many corporations will be located outside of the US and Europe.
- Professional development will need to focus on skills over memorization due to advances in technology replacing some jobs. Education will utilize more adaptive learning, virtual coaching, and self-guided models like MOOCs and Hole-in-the-Wall learning. Professional development will be
Media theorists revision review
The document summarizes several media theories including the hypodermic needle theory, two-step flow theory, uses and gratification theory, reception theory, structuralism theories from Todorov, Levi-Strauss and Propp, participatory culture theories from Leadbeater, Anderson and Jenkins, and Web 2.0 theories on the changing nature of online participation and content creation. Key ideas covered include the influence of media on audiences, the role of opinion leaders, active audience choices, encoding and decoding of messages, narrative patterns, and the democratization of media through user-generated content and networking effects online.
Digital literacy and the death of community
This document discusses the implications of digital literacy on community. It argues that digital literacy and networks empower the individual over community by allowing people to selectively choose their online connections and create echo chambers. This undermines real-world communities as well as civic associations that were important for building democratic participation. While digital tools provide new opportunities for creativity, their design and control by corporations and data miners concentrates power in ways that can discourage collaboration and civic participation. As educators, developing digital literacy should include helping students understand these political implications and cultivate skills for "playing well with others."
The Social Web's Impact on Politics and Public Policy
The document discusses the impact of social media on public policy. It provides examples of how social media campaigns have influenced policy decisions and government action. Specifically, it describes how coordinated online protests killed proposed legislation SOPA/PIPA in 2012. It also discusses how social media drew attention to infrastructure issues, resulting in congressional action, and how student activism around campus sexual assault led to statements from the White House. The document analyzes factors that made these social media campaigns effective in influencing policy, such as clear messaging, coordinated tactics, and influential champions.
Chatterjee, sanjeev & daunic, rhys digital storytelling presentation
This document provides guidance for creating pitch videos to promote MAP projects developed through the Salzburg Academy for Media and Global Change (SAC). The objective is to get organizations like the Red Cross and UNDP to view final MAP PDFs on the Mosaic website. It includes a checklist for effective pitch videos with criteria like having an engaging hook, being visual, clearly defining the problem and solution. Sample pitch videos are described for issues like youth unemployment and corruption. Students are instructed to create a treatment for their own pitch video and have a rough cut reviewed by the following Thursday.

Social media refers to media designed for social interaction and sharing. Websites with social components like forums and user-generated content connected more people than before and helped social media concepts explode online. As sites like blogs emerged, other social components also evolved like microblogging, photo/video sharing, and social gaming. Social media allows an ecosystem of supporting tools and services to develop.
Quality journalism in the digital age
This document discusses two myths about journalism in the digital age and provides guidance on how journalism can adapt and thrive online. It argues that (1) journalism has always needed to adapt to changes in how information is communicated, and (2) while the internet undermines traditional business models, it creates new opportunities. The key is for journalists to experiment with different formats, voices and revenue streams instead of clinging to old ways. Quality diagnosis of changes is important before prescribing solutions. If journalists focus on their core tasks of verification, sense-making, eyewitness reporting and investigation, journalism will not just survive but improve in the digital world.
Context and e competencies for diplomats - jan 13

[Forum Global Edition] The Future of the Long Tail
The document discusses how the internet has enabled the rise of the "long tail" in media, commerce, and other industries. It defines the long tail as the opportunity for niche products and interests to find customers as search and distribution costs approach zero. Specifically:
1. Traditional media focused on popular hits while the internet allows niche or unpopular items in the "long tail" to find audiences.
2. Markets have shifted from focusing on variety and popularity to fully serving minority tastes and granular markets in the long tail.
3. Industries where the long tail has won include advertising, media/entertainment, e-commerce, mobile apps/games, social media, and talent/education as more move

Becoming Media Literate
Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create various forms of media messages. It helps people understand how media can influence society and develops important critical thinking skills. About half of people share content on social media to inform others or enrich their social connections, but over two-thirds also share to project a certain image of themselves or define who they are publicly. Many shared links are never actually opened. To improve media literacy, people should think carefully about what they post and share online and do so intentionally rather than just liking or commenting without purpose.
Social Media: Tools for Peace and Development?
This document discusses how social media can be used as tools for peace and development. It explores different perspectives on whether social media represents new or old media, innovation or stagnation, and freedom of expression versus social control. Examples are provided of how social media platforms like Twitter, Ushahidi, and Global Voices are being used to map local issues, crowdsource information, and facilitate open exchange during events like elections and protests. The document considers debates around whether information industries and technologies operate in open or closed cycles.

Clay shirky
Clay Shirky argues that changes in media change the nature of public arguments over time, with significant social and political effects. He focuses on how decentralized technologies like peer-to-peer networking, wireless connectivity, and open-source development enable new cooperative structures for getting things done as alternatives to traditional centralized institutions. Shirky believes groups tend to limit themselves, and that digital networks have increased the volume of ideas and arguments in circulation worldwide.
19 November 2012
The document outlines today's plan which includes discussing the Israel-Gaza conflict, two readings on gendered spaces and coding gender as well as motivations for using social media and imagined audiences. It will include a group exercise on political blogging applying concepts from previous readings. The document also announces details for a human rights vigil taking place that evening.
What social media is doing to the world
Social media is changing the world by allowing real-time communication across borders. It has helped raise funds for disaster relief in Haiti and spread awareness of political protests in Iran and other countries. However, some governments seek to restrict or monitor social media use over concerns about control and surveillance. While controversies exist, social media also enables new connections and opportunities for exposure. The future of social media globally remains uncertain, but participation continues to grow in all regions.
Twitterlecture9
The document discusses how Twitter and social media can shape democracy and the news media. It explores whether Twitter meets the key functions of the news media like providing a comprehensive account of daily events, a forum for discussion, and a way to reach everyone with information. While Twitter may help spread opinions, it argues it does not yet provide enough context or clarity on societal goals and values to fully replace traditional news media. It also notes challenges of using social media to discuss complex issues like California's state budget crisis.
Twitterlecture8
This document discusses how social media, especially Twitter, is changing the news media landscape and shaping political discussions.

A Social Media Evolution Whats Next?
In less than 20 years the Internet has evolved from an academic exercise of interconnected computers, to communication systems that redefine corporate communication. From a few thousand static web pages, to always-on on-demand multimedia news and entertainment channels. From providing simple discussion forums and chat rooms to a hugely popular web of experiences for real-time social interaction. So what comes next? Social media will infiltrate and enhance all of our personal and commercial, private and public endeavors faster than you think.

We Media L20 mock exam revision
The document discusses issues around 'We Media' and democracy. It provides questions to consider regarding how 'We Media' has emerged and both the positive and negative impacts on democracy. Theories from thinkers like Chomsky, Curtis, Gillmor, and Keen are referenced regarding how the contemporary media may be both more democratic through citizen participation but also less democratic through issues like surveillance, control and lack of experts. The document also briefly outlines the potential structure for an exam answer on these topics.

Martin Waxman McMaster Building Social Media Relationships 2011
Social media allows for democratic and transparent interactions between people and organizations to build relationships and communities. It has become an important way to listen, engage, and connect with others. While social media parallels traditional media, it allows for two-way conversations without filters across borders. Building social media relationships requires setting parameters, commenting on and curating content, and creating your own content to tell your story visually online while maintaining some consistent interpersonal skills. Resources like books by Gladwell, Joel, Li, Bernoff, Baer, and Shirky provide further guidance.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
