Die publizistische Gesellschaft: Journalismus und Medien im Zeitalter des Plattformkapitalismus (essentials)
by Christian Humborg Thuy Anh NguyenIn diesem essential wird der radikale Wandel der Medien und des Journalismus durch den Aufstieg der Plattformen beschrieben. Es wird gezeigt, wie neue Akteure mit neuen Herangehensweisen auf die Bühne treten. Denn durch die aufgezeigten Veränderungen kann jeder Mensch ohne besonderen Sachverstand weltweit publizieren. Dies verändert grundlegend die Produktionsweisen und Geschäftsmodelle der Medien und des Journalismus selbst, denn jeder Mensch wird zum Publizisten. Die Plattformen diktieren die Spielregeln wer publiziert, wie publiziert wird und wer damit Geld verdienen kann. Dies ist aber nicht nur Bedrohung, sondern auch eine große Chance für den Journalismus.
Die österreichische kaiserliche Zensur und die böhmische periodische Presse, 1848-71: Die destruktive Arbeit der Oppositionspresse ist furchterregend
by Jeffrey T. LeighDieses Buch analysiert die Pressepolitik in Böhmen von den Revolutionen von 1848 bis zur Tábory-Zeit (1867-71). Nach den Revolutionen erwies sich der habsburgische Staat keineswegs als historisches Relikt, sondern vielmehr als kühn und innovativ, indem er liberale Reformen einführte, vor allem im Bereich der Rechtsstaatlichkeit. Diese Reformen halfen ihm zwar, die unmittelbaren Herausforderungen zu überstehen, doch schufen sie paradoxerweise ein Umfeld, in dem die periodische Presse auch in der Ära des Neoabsolutismus weiterhin die für die Revolution emblematischen Perspektiven vertrat. Dieses neue rechtliche Umfeld begünstigte die Entstehung der bürgerlichen Öffentlichkeit, wie sie Jürgen Habermas theoretisiert, und die politischen Bewegungen, die zu ihrem Untergang beitragen sollten, wie die Tábory-Kampagne von 1867-71 zeigte. An der Schnittstelle zwischen Zivilgesellschaft und Staat standen die für die öffentliche Ordnung und Sicherheit zuständigen habsburgischen Landesbeamten. Sie machten die Erfahrung, dass sie die vom kaiserlichen Zentrum auferlegten Ideale der Rechtsstaatlichkeit und ihre eigenen vitalen Sorgen um den Fortbestand der Monarchie in Einklang bringen mussten. Die vorliegende Arbeit konzentriert sich erstmals auf die Rolle dieser Beamten, die bestimmten, was im Druck erscheinen durfte und was nicht.

Diez razones para borrar tus redes sociales de inmediato
by Jaron LanierUn brillante manifiesto que llama a la acción para comenzar a reinventar Internet. ¿Te cuesta imaginar una vida sin redes sociales? ¿Y si te dieran 10 argumentos explicando la toxicidad de sus efectos? En este libro, Jaron Lanier nos explica con una contundencia abrumadora como las redes sociales, al desplegar una vigilancia constante y manipular el inconsciente de sus usuarios, nos están convirtiendo en personas rencorosas, tristes, asustadizas, poco empáticas, aisladas y triviales. Si quieres una vida más feliz, un mundo más justo y pacífico, o simplemente la oportunidad de pensar por ti mismo sin ser monitoreado e influenciado por las corporaciones más ricas de la historia, lo mejor que puedes hacer es cancelar tus cuentas. Ahora. Reseñas:«Jaron Lanier es un genio.»Sunday Times «Mezcla sabiduría profética con una simple practicidad. Lectura esencial.»The New York Times «El título lo dice todo... Lanier aboga por desanclarse de las redes sociales, que fomentan la adicción y la anomia y en general nos hacen sentir peor y más temerosos el uno del otro y del mundo. El experimento podría ser útil, aunque oscurecerá los corazones de los señores oscuros, un argumento ganador por sí mismo.»Kirkus Reviews

Different Global Journalisms: Cultures and Contexts (Palgrave Studies in Journalism and the Global South)
by Saba Bebawi Oxana OnilovThis edited collection seeks to better understand how journalism across cultures differs, presenting an in-depth exploration of global practices that departs from the typical Western-centric approach. Journalists across the world are trained, generally speaking, within Western models of reporting and are taught to do so as a practice where reporters need to aspire and aim for. Yet what such training is short of achieving is teaching reporters how to 'do' journalism within their own environments. In turn, what is required is a method of journalistic training and practice that is reflective of the actual practice reporters encounter on the ground. In order to do so, a better understanding of how journalism is practised in different parts of the world, the context surrounding such practices, the issues and challenges associated, and the positive practices that Western journalism can offer, is necessary. Promoting and deploying a culturally-specific and politically-relevant journalism, this book provides just that.

Difficult Death, Dying and the Dead in Media and Culture
by Sharon Coleclough Bethan Michael-Fox Renske VisserThis book responds to a growing interest in death, dying and the dead within and beyond the field of death studies. The collection defines an understanding of ‘difficult death’ and examines the differences between death, dying and the dead, as well as exploring the ethical challenges of researching death in mediated form. The collection is attendant to the ways in which difficult deaths are imbricated in power structures both before and after they become mediatised in culture. As such, the work navigates the many political and social complexities and inequalities – what might be deemed the difficulties – of death, dying and the dead. The book seeks to expand understandings of the difficulty of death in media and culture through a wide range of chapters from different contexts focused on literature, film, television, and in online environments, as well as several chapters examining news reportage of difficult deaths.
Diffusion of Innovations, 4th Edition
by Everett M. RogersSince the first edition of this landmark book was published in 1962, Everett Rogers's name has become "virtually synonymous with the study of diffusion of innovations," according to Choice. The second and third editions of Diffusion of Innovations became the standard textbook and reference on diffusion studies. Now, in the fourth edition, Rogers presents the culmination of more than thirty years of research that will set a new standard for analysis and inquiry. The fourth edition is (1) a revision of the theoretical framework and the research evidence supporting this model of diffusion, and (2) a new intellectual venture, in that new concepts and new theoretical viewpoints are introduced. This edition differs from its predecessors in that it takes a much more critical stance in its review and synthesis of 5,000 diffusion publications. During the past thirty years or so, diffusion research has grown to be widely recognized, applied and admired, but it has also been subjected to both constructive and destructive criticism. This criticism is due in large part to the stereotyped and limited ways in which many diffusion scholars have defined the scope and method of their field of study. Rogers analyzes the limitations of previous diffusion studies, showing, for example, that the convergence model, by which participants create and share information to reach a mutual understanding, more accurately describes diffusion in most cases than the linear model. Rogers provides an entirely new set of case examples, from the Balinese Water Temple to Nintendo videogames, that beautifully illustrate his expansive research, as well as a completely revised bibliography covering all relevant diffusion scholarship in the past decade. Most important, he discusses recent research and current topics, including social marketing, forecasting the rate of adoption, technology transfer, and more. This all-inclusive work will be essential reading for scholars and students in the fields of communications, marketing, geography, economic development, political science, sociology, and other related fields for generations to come.

Digital Activism and the Global Middle Class: Generation Hashtag (Routledge Research in Digital Media and Culture in Asia)
by Lukas SchloglThis book examines the causes of a growing wave of digital activism across developing countries, arguing that it is driven by social change, rather than technological advancement alone. Beginning with an investigation into the modernisation of ‘middle-income countries’ and its ramifications for political culture, the book examines large-scale social media protest during political controversies in Indonesia. The book connects empirical evidence to classic theories of value change and political behaviour. It departs from a narrow ‘digital divide’ framing whereby Internet access produces Internet activism. It introduces the concepts of ‘digital self-expression’ and of ‘middle-class struggles’ to capture the value-stratified nature of political engagement in the online sphere. Drawing on a blend of ‘big-data’ text analyses, representative opinion research and socioeconomic household analyses, a rich picture of the determinants of digital activism emerges. This truly cross-disciplinary book will appeal particularly to students and scholars in Political Science, Sociology, International Development, and Communication, but also to anyone eager to learn about political activism, social transformation, and new media from a global perspective.
Digital Activism in Zimbabwe: Dissent and Hegemony in the Information Age (Routledge African Media, Culture and Communication Studies)
by Tenford ChitananaThis book investigates the role of the internet and social media in political processes in non-western and non-democratic contexts. Using Zimbabwe as a case study, the book demonstrates how activists and ordinary people deploy social media, particularly Facebook, to subvert an enduring hegemonic state. However, the book also highlights how authoritarian regimes are in turn learning and adapting to the information age, challenging the impact of digital activism. Studies of digital activism in the Global South are often centred around democracy, but this book paints a more complex picture, examining the role and effect of digital activism in challenging state hegemony in authoritarian contexts. The book notes that while communication technologies help mediate activism, they are also simultaneously constrained by pre-existing and emergent challenges tied to the social and political context and the inherent limitations of those technologies. The book investigates the tactics used by digital activists, the contextual factors and restrictive political environment they operate in, including the role of pro-government activists, and ultimately, the impact of digital activism given these constraints. From the case of Zimbabwe, the book builds out a broader theoretical analysis of the evolution of ‘third world protest’ in the digital age, examining the limitations of activists’ actions and the ideological deficit in online activism to ferment a virulent counter hegemony.
Digital Afterlife: Death Matters in a Digital Age (Chapman & Hall/CRC Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Series)
by Maggi Savin-Baden Victoria Mason-RobbieDespite the range of studies into grief and mourning in relation to the digital, research to date largely focuses on the cultural practices and meanings that are played out in and through digital environments. Digital Afterlife brings together experts from diverse fields who share an interest in Digital Afterlife and the wide-ranging issues that relate to this. The book covers a variety of matters that have been neglected in other research texts, for example: The legal, ethical, and philosophical conundrums of Digital Afterlife The ways digital media are currently being used to expand the possibilities of commemorating the dead and managing the grief of those left behind Our lives are shaped by and shape the creation of our Digital Afterlife as the digital has become a taken for granted aspect of human experience. This book will be of interest to undergraduates from computing, theology, business studies, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and education from all types of institutions. Secondary audiences include researchers and postgraduate researchers with an interest in the digital. At a practical level, the cost of data storage and changing data storage systems mitigate the likelihood of our digital presence existing in perpetuity. Whether we create accidental or intentional digital memories, this has psychological consequences for ourselves and for society. Essentially, the foreverness of forever is in question.

Digital Audiobooks: New Media, Users, and Experiences (Routledge Studies in New Media and Cyberculture)
by Iben Have Birgitte Stougaard PedersenAudiobooks are rapidly gaining popularity with widely accessible digital downloading and streaming services. This book engages with the digital form of audiobooks, framing audiobook listening as both a remediation of literature and an everyday activity that creates new reading experiences that can be compared to listening to music or the radio. Have and Stougaard Pedersen challenge the historical notion that audiobook listening is a compensatory activity or a second-rate reading experience, while seeking to establish a dialogue between sound studies and media studies, comparative literature, aesthetics, and sociology.
Digital Authorship: Publishing in the Attention Economy (Elements in Publishing and Book Culture)
by R. Lyle SkainsThis Element looks at contemporary authorship via three key authorial roles: indie publisher, hybrid author, and fanfiction writer. The twenty-first century's digital and networked media allows writers to disintermediate the established structures of royalty publishing, and to distribute their work directly to - and often in collaboration with - their readers. This demotic author, one who is 'of the people', often works in genres considered 'popular' or 'derivative'. The demotic author eschews the top-down communication flow of author > text > reader, in favor of publishing platforms that generate attention capital, such as blogs, fanfiction communities, and social media.
Digital Blood on Their Hands: The Ukraine Cyberwar Attacks
by Andrew JenkinsonCyberattacks are nothing particularly new to the world and Ukraine had suffered many such attacks by Russia over recent years. Russia had knowingly been exploiting Ukraine’s digital vulnerabilities as a proving ground for nearly a decade. Malware such as Sandworm and BlackEnergy had caused untold damage to the Ukrainian population and government previously, which allowed Russia to perfect cyberattacks for further, more global events. Russia had been planting cyber sleeper digital cells for years, especially in the US and the UK. Then, coincidently, the week after the Chinese Winter Olympic games had finished, Russia launched an all-out cyber offensive against 70 Ukrainian government websites. Owing to these being poorly—and insecurely—maintained, they toppled one by one, causing havoc and disruption to the Ukrainian government and to Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. As Q said in James Bond: ‘I can do more damage by breakfast sipping my Earl Grey tea with my keyboard than you ever can in the field.’ Sadly, Q was right, as we witness daily. The keyboard and mouse have indeed become mightier than the sword. The barrage of cyberattacks against Ukraine constitutes the first cyberwar by one nation against another. This attack crossed a very thin red line. That line had the hallmarks of a nation state, but had until now been confined to cyber criminal activities, immaterial of whom the perpetrators were. This, however, was now war. The cyberwar was simply a precursor, the softening of a country that would precede a kinetic war in which tens of thousands of people would lose their lives. This war was the first war for nearly 80 years that rang out deathly klaxons across Europe and the world. Digital Blood on Their Hands addresses the issues that the digital world has created, covering the culpability, causal links and even liabilities that go towards these war crime atrocities, often too frightening to believe and also too compelling to dismiss. It tells a side to the world’s first ever cyberwar that you would never otherwise see or possibly hear about.
Digital Body Language: How to Build Trust and Connection, No Matter the Distance
by Erica DhawanAn instant Wall Street Journal BestsellerThe definitive guide to communicating and connecting in a hybrid world.Email replies that show up a week later. Video chats full of “oops sorry no you go” and “can you hear me?!” Ambiguous text-messages. Weird punctuation you can’t make heads or tails of. Is it any wonder communication takes us so much time and effort to figure out? How did we lose our innate capacity to understand each other?Humans rely on body language to connect and build trust, but with most of our communication happening from behind a screen, traditional body language signals are no longer visible -- or are they? In Digital Body Language, Erica Dhawan, a go-to thought leader on collaboration and a passionate communication junkie, combines cutting edge research with engaging storytelling to decode the new signals and cues that have replaced traditional body language across genders, generations, and culture. In real life, we lean in, uncross our arms, smile, nod and make eye contact to show we listen and care. Online, reading carefully is the new listening. Writing clearly is the new empathy. And a phone or video call is worth a thousand emails.Digital Body Language will turn your daily misunderstandings into a set of collectively understood laws that foster connection, no matter the distance. Dhawan investigates a wide array of exchanges—from large conferences and video meetings to daily emails, texts, IMs, and conference calls—and offers insights and solutions to build trust and clarity to anyone in our ever changing world.
