Connected Hispanics and Civic Engagement
The document discusses how mobile technology has increased civic engagement among Hispanics in the United States. It provides examples of how mobile phones and social media have enabled Hispanics to organize around issues like immigration reform and education. Hispanics now lead other groups in using mobile devices to access the internet and social media. This new access allows for quick mobilization around issues and two-way communication between community organizations and members. The growth of mobile civic engagement will likely continue and benefit both the Hispanic community and broader American political discourse.
Linus Lee: Napster And Inequality
Napster allowed users to share MP3 files without permission or payment in the late 1990s. It had around 70 million users worldwide and disrupted the music industry's business model by giving consumers access to music without paying fees. This violated copyright laws and led to legal battles with music companies. While Napster argued it increased overall consumer well-being, critics said it amounted to theft and hurt music producers' control over distribution. The typical Napster user was younger, between their early 20s, primarily college students and adolescent males.

This document summarizes a study that evaluated the role of Delta Broadcasting Service (DBS) in managing inter-ethnic conflicts in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria in 2003. The study found that DBS's role in preventing, resolving, and transforming the conflict was minimal due to limitations including lack of organizational capacity for conflict prevention/resolution and inability to objectively manage the conflict due to the influence of its owners. To strengthen conflict management capabilities, the study recommends greater media executive commitment to conflict management, policy support for proactive programming, and institutional reforms including strategic alliances to facilitate funding, capacity building, and information sharing.

Future of Mass Media
Timothy Karr lecture delivered at Rutgers Univ on the importance of public engagement to shape the future of U.S. media
The World and Media Interconnected
Transnational media corporations play a key role in the globalization process by producing and distributing media content worldwide. They are large, concentrated organizations that are increasingly expanding into new markets to seek profits. This has economic and cultural impacts as local media industries struggle to compete and foreign content influences local cultures. It can also foster interdependence among social groups in different countries who consume similar global media.
The Spread of Information and its Influence On State Security And Development
The document discusses the spread of information and its influence on state security.

This document discusses the role of social media in achieving microfinance banking goals in Nigeria. It begins with definitions of key concepts - microfinance banking, social media, and new communication technologies. Microfinance banks provide financial services to the poor and small businesses in Nigeria. The establishment of these banks in Nigeria is aimed at poverty reduction and economic development. Effective communication is important for the success of microfinance initiatives. The social media, as interactive online platforms, can play important roles in raising awareness of microfinance opportunities and monitoring the activities of these banks. The document suggests a two-step approach, using both web-based social media and traditional community groups, to inform potential microfinance clients about how to access these services.
National & international communication by Amber Malik & Hina Nawab
The New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) emerged in the 1970s as developing countries protested the dominance of Western news agencies in global information flows. NWICO aimed to foster more equitable communications between developed and developing worlds. Major issues included the unbalanced flow of media from developed to developing countries, unfair allocation of radio spectrum and geostationary orbits, and lack of input from developing countries in decisions around satellite technologies and communication standards. While NWICO discussions aimed to address global imbalances, the United States opposed it as a threat to free press.

Lillian Ekwosi-Egbulem (Cyber Security course wk) Netwars-Mexico
The document provides background on the current political situation in Mexico, which has evolved since the 1990s when the Zapatista movement utilized "netwar" strategies. The Zapatistas and social activists mobilized online to protest issues like NAFTA and gain autonomy for indigenous groups. Non-governmental organizations played a key role in facilitating global communication in support of the Zapatistas. This netwar approach put pressure on the Mexican government and led them to recognize the Zapatistas and agree to greater autonomy. The memo recommends that the IT company NTS relocate to Mexico while taking precautions to protect employees and maintain good relations with social activists and NGOs who could impact company goals.

The Digital Divide for MCO435
The group studied the digital divide in Tempe and Phoenix through interviews and surveys. They found that most people, especially younger people, have access to the internet and technology. While cost was a barrier for some, they determined the area was not severely affected by the digital divide due to proximity to a college and large cities. The study concluded the divide has lessened over time but differences remain between older and younger generations in comfort with technology.
Pol. sci. presentation 2
The document discusses several topics related to the modern media landscape in the United States, including:
1) Ownership of media outlets has become more consolidated, with a small number of large corporations owning a wide variety of media properties across TV, radio, publishing, etc. This poses risks if viewpoints outside the mainstream have trouble finding an audience.
2) New technologies like the internet and WikiLeaks have increased access to information but also the spread of misinformation. They have empowered a new form of "adversarial journalism" aimed at exposing wrongdoing.
3) The government regulates broadcast media through the FCC but not print or online media. Regulations aim to promote fairness and equal access for political candidates but do

The document discusses problems with the current business model for online news publishing and proposes some Web 2.0 strategies. Specifically, it notes that while online and print readerships originally overlapped in 1998, online readership has since declined. It suggests open access, user-generated content, tagging, hyperlocal information, and exploring opportunities outside traditional geographic markets as potential strategies. It emphasizes the need for rational analysis of trends to inform business decisions.
Bjmc i, met, unit-i,i, met, unit-ii, media and literacy
Media literacy involves understanding how mass media works to influence audiences and understanding the messages they convey. Literacy is linked to accessing print media but radio expanded reach to non-literate audiences. While literacy rates in developed nations are near universal, only 65% of Indians are literate. Media literacy teaches critical analysis of techniques used in media and how they construct reality beyond direct experience, aiming to make passive consumption more active and critical. It empowers citizens to challenge commercial media structures.

University of Helsinki 4 - Internet for the public interest
The document discusses the use of the internet in Latin America and Brazil specifically. It covers several topics:
- The growth of internet access in Latin America, though a digital divide still exists between richer and poorer citizens. In Brazil, internet use has grown faster than cable/satellite TV.
- The internet's potential to promote transparency and participation, but some argue it does not necessarily improve civic life. Government efforts in Brazil have aimed to increase connectivity and digital inclusion.
- Limits to the internet as a public medium due to lack of mass access and concentration of major providers. The 2010 Brazilian election saw extensive use of the internet for campaigning.
- The Brazilian blogosphere has grown as a counter to

The document discusses trends in digital inequality in Latin America and Mexico. It notes that while Latin America has a large population of over 530 million people, internet penetration has remained relatively low due to stark income disparities. It outlines efforts by the Mexican government to expand access to education, health and other services through digital initiatives and infrastructure projects to help close the digital divide. Comments provided discuss both reasons for hope in empowering users but also potential risks of increased cultural dependency if access to technology is not accompanied by education.The Clash of Media
The document discusses the shift from mass media to social media and the importance of media policy in the digital age. It outlines how (1) social media empowers individuals through participation and multi-directional communication compared to the top-down model of mass media, and (2) recent technological changes and the rise of social media have disrupted established media industries and policies. It argues that (3) media policy must change to prioritize alternative voices, empower all members of society, and enhance democratic values in this new era of personal, participatory media.
Characteristics Of New Media
The document discusses the distinctive characteristics of new media which include digitality, convergency, interactivity, hypertextuality, and virtuality. New media dematerializes content into digital form, allows for convergence of different media types, and enables interactivity and the creation of virtual experiences. These features of new media have pushed trends of multiculturalism and diversity in a globalized world where boundaries are increasingly blurred.
Lecture 8 Media and Society

Social Media and Government 2.0
This document discusses the history and growth of social media and its increasing use by government agencies. It notes that one-third of US internet users now use social media and new tools to access government services and information. For those users, government is becoming more participatory as nearly one-quarter publish commentary online about government issues. The document also outlines how government agencies at different levels have begun using social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube to communicate about issues like the Gulf oil spill, storm reporting, and public health initiatives. It introduces the concept of "Government 2.0" or using new technologies to enable more efficient delivery of e-services and practices like open government.

30 years of democracy in Argentina
The document discusses cultural changes that have occurred in Argentina over the past 30 years since the return to democracy in 1983 after decades of military dictatorship. It notes that democracy, while imperfect, has brought revolutionary cultural changes to Argentina, including greater freedoms of expression in the arts. Television viewership has declined significantly as more diverse media like cable and digital technologies have proliferated. Younger generations are less influenced by television and more engaged with the online world. Overall, Argentine culture has become more open and democratic.
Transnational Media Corporations and Globalization
The ability of the present-day human to be fully aware of what’s happening in every corner of the globe owes its possibility to the efficient mechanisms operated by the transnational media corporations. For more than a century, these entities have progressively expanded worldwide thus impacting every human life with the aid of the advanced communication systems technologies such as cable, digital, satellite, and the internet that were developed in the twentieth century. It can be well said that these technologies powered up the rise, growth, and extension of transnational media corporations because they enabled them to seamlessly develop high-quality content and distribute it worldwide in real-time. This presentation is aimed at explaining the scope of this phenomenon, the entities behind it, and how such transformations have promoted global communication and at the same time it explores the criticism they face regarding their ownership, content generation and coverage. In this presentation, we also observe that the success of TMC’s lie in the billion-dollar investments, mergers, and acquisitions which have seen them combine resources with their rivals to dominate and influence the global media market – a result which has not been without disapproval from the media critics and scholars. The review questions at the end of the presentation let us ponder over the inquisitive concerns related to what is covered herein.

G&P - Chapter 10 - Info & Tech
1. Nearly 2 billion TV sets and 3 billion radio receivers in the Global South allow information to reach wide audiences, even illiterate ones through shortwave radio.
2. While global media educates people and broadens views, it can also spread stereotypes and be biased depending on its source and control.
3. The digital divide between developed and developing nations means that computer and internet access is still too expensive for many in the Global South to gain equal access to information technology as the North.

Manipulating Social Media to Undermine Democracy 2017 Final
his report was made possible by the generous support of the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL), Google, the German Federal Foreign Office, the Internet Society, Yahoo, and Golden Frog. The content of this publication is the sole responsibility of Freedom House and does not necessarily represent the views of its donors.This booklet is a summary of findings for the 2017 edition of Freedom on the Net. A full volume with 65 country reports assessed in this year’s study can be found on our website at www.freedomonthenet.org.
Manipulating Social Media to Undermine Democracy Online content manipulation contributed to a seventh consecutive year of overall decline in internet freedom, along with a rise in disruptions to mobile internet ser-vice and increases in physical and technical attacks on human rights defenders and independent media.Nearly half of the 65 countries assessed in Freedom on the Net 2017 experienced declines during the coverage period, while just 13 made gains, most of them minor. Less than one-quarter of users reside in countries where the internet is designated Free, meaning there are no major obstacles to access, onerous restrictions on content, or serious violations of user rights in the form of unchecked surveillance or unjust repercussions for legitimate speech.The use of “fake news,” automated “bot” accounts, and other manipulation methods gained particular atten-tion in the United States. While the country’s online environment remained generally free, it was troubled by a proliferation of fabricated news articles, divisive partisan vitriol, and aggressive harassment of many journalists, both during and after the presidential election campaign. Russia’s online efforts to influence the American election have been well documented, but the United States was hardly alone in this respect. Manipulation and disinformation tactics played an important role in elections in at least 17 other countries over the past year, damaging citizens’ ability to choose their leaders based on factual news and authentic debate. Although some governments sought to support their interests and expand their influence abroad—as with Russia’s disinformation campaigns in the United States and Europe—in most cases they used these methods inside their own borders to maintain their hold on power

Essay
The document discusses how the Internet has impacted citizens' relationship to the public sphere. While some argue the Internet could provide new democratic possibilities by circumventing traditional media, others are more pessimistic. The Internet reflects existing social inequalities like the "digital divide" between those who do and do not have access. Additionally, concepts like democracy and public sphere may not apply to the postmodern nature of online interactions. Recent studies also suggest the Internet has a limited role in promoting citizenship. In conclusion, the Internet has not significantly changed how citizens relate to the public sphere despite new communication abilities.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
