Social Media
Plattformen wie Facebook, Wikipedia, YouTube oder Twitter haben in den vergangenen Jahren das Internet stark verändert. Sie gelten als „soziale Medien“, weil sie großen Einfluss darauf haben, wie Menschen sich selbst und ihre Interessen im Internet präsentieren, wie sie Beziehungen pflegen, neu knüpfen und sich über relevante Themen informieren. Zugleich werfen sie eine Reihe von weit reichenden Fragen auf: Verschwindet durch soziale Medien die Privatsphäre? Machen soziale Medien jeden zum Journalisten? Bringen soziale Medien Wissen für alle? Sind die sozialen Medien partizipativ – oder überwachen und kontrollieren sie den Menschen? Diese Fragen beantwortet der Band aus kommunikationssoziologischer Sicht und gibt so einen Überblick darüber, wie soziale Medien unseren individuellen Alltag wie auch unsere Gesellschaft verändern. Für die zweite Auflage wurde der Band aktualisiert und um ein Kapitel zur Meinungsbildung in und mit sozialen Medien erweitert.
Handbuch Soziale Medien
Soziale Medien erleichtern es Menschen, Informationen aller Art zu teilen und soziale Beziehungen zu pflegen. Sie sind in den letzten Jahren zu einem wesentlichen Bestandteil der digitalen Kommunikation geworden und verändern die Strukturen gesellschaftlicher Öffentlichkeit, aber auch den alltäglichen Austausch über privat-persönliche Themen. Ihre kommunikative Architektur nährt Hoffnungen auf verbesserte gesellschaftliche Partizipation genauso wie Befürchtungen, immer mehr Bereiche des Lebens würden kommerzialisiert und überwacht. Das Handbuch bereitet den aktuellen Forschungs- und Diskussionsstand zu Nutzung, gesellschaftlicher Einbettung und Folgen der sozialen Medien aus der Kommunikationswissenschaft und den angrenzenden Sozialwissenschaften auf. Für die zweite Auflage wurde der Band um neue Beiträge ergänzt bzw. die Beiträge wurden überarbeitet und aktualisiert.
Communicative Figurations
This open access volume assesses the influence of our changing media environment. Today, there is not one single medium that is the driving force of change. With the spread of various technical communication media such as mobile phones and internet platforms, we are confronted with a media manifold of deep mediatization. But how can we investigate its transformative capability? This book answers this question by taking a non-media-centric perspective, researching the various figurations of collectivities and organizations humans are involved in. The first part of the book outlines a fundamental understanding of the changing media environment of deep mediatization and its transformative capacity. The second part focuses on collectivities and movements: communities in the city, critical social movements, maker, online gaming groups and networked groups of young people. The third part moves institutions and organizations into the foreground, discussing the transformation of journalism, religion, politics, and education, whilst the fourth and final part is dedicated to methodologies and perspectives.
Enforcing Privacy
This book is about enforcing privacy and data protection. It demonstrates different approaches – regulatory, legal and technological – to enforcing privacy. If regulators do not enforce laws or regulations or codes or do not have the resources, political support or wherewithal to enforce them, they effectively eviscerate and make meaningless such laws or regulations or codes, no matter how laudable or well-intentioned. In some cases, however, the mere existence of such laws or regulations, combined with a credible threat to invoke them, is sufficient for regulatory purposes. But the threat has to be credible. As some of the authors in this book make clear – it is a theme that runs thro...

The present volume includes 6 papers from BlogTalk 2008 as well as 11 papers from BlogTalk 2009. The areas discussed include: forms and consequences of emerging social software practices; social software in enterprise and educational environments; the political impact of social software; applications, prototypes, concepts and standards.
Journalism
This volume sets out the state-of-the-art in the discipline of journalism at a time in which the practice and profession of journalism is in serious flux. While journalism is still anchored to its history, change is infecting the field. The profession, and the scholars who study it, are reconceptualizing what journalism is in a time when journalists no longer monopolize the means for spreading the news. Here, journalism is explored as a social practice, as an institution, and as memory. The roles, epistemologies, and ethics of the field are evolving. With this in mind, the volume revisits classic theories of journalism, such as gatekeeping and agenda-setting, but also opens up new avenues of theorizing by broadening the scope of inquiry into an expanded journalism ecology, which now includes citizen journalism, documentaries, and lifestyle journalism, and by tapping the insights of other disciplines, such as geography, economics, and psychology. The volume is a go-to map of the field for students and scholars—highlighting emerging issues, enduring themes, revitalized theories, and fresh conceptualizations of journalism.
Journalism, Technology and Cultural Practice
Taking a contextual and historical approach, Journalism, Technology and Cultural Practice provides an accessible introduction to the various stages of journalism’s adoption and exploitation of technology from print to digital. This foundational text explains the cultural norms and practices that have developed within journalism, why the industry has evolved in the way it has, and what this may mean for the direction of journalistic practices in the future. Readers will examine key technological developments from printing, through radio and television, to contemporary digital developments, whilst also tracing the major cultural shifts empowered by these changes over time. Conboy additionally highlights how journalists have been actors in these processes and have had a central role in defining the culture of their practice. Journalism, Technology and Cultural Practice is a valuable resource for students of Journalism/Media History and Journalism/Media and Society.
Analyzing Digital Discourses
This book contributes to the scholarly debate on the forms and patterns of interaction and discourse in modern digital communication by probing some of the social functions that online communication has for its users. An array of experts and scholars in the field address a range of forms of social interaction and discourses expressed by users on social networks and in public media. Social functions are reflected through linguistic and discursive practices that are either those of ‘convergence’ or ‘controversy’ in terms of how the discourse participants handle interpersonal relations or how they construct meanings in discourses. In this sense, the book elaborates on some very central concerns in the area of digital discourse analysis that have been reported within the last decade from various methodological perspectives ranging from sociolinguistics and pragmatics to corpus linguistics. This edited collection will be of particular interest to scholars and students in the fields of digital discourse analysis, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, social media and communication, and media and cultural studies.
The Algorithmic Distribution of News
This volume explores how governments, policymakers and newsrooms have responded to the algorithmic distribution of the news. Contributors analyse the ongoing battle between platforms and publishers, evaluate recent attempts to manage these tensions through policy reform and consider whether algorithms can be regulated to promote media diversity and stop misinformation and hate speech. Chapter authors also interview journalists and find out how their work is changing due to the growing importance of algorithmic systems. Drawing together an international group of scholars, the book takes a truly global perspective offering case studies from Switzerland, Germany, Kenya, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, and China. The collection also provides a series of critical analyses of recent policy developments in the European Union and Australia, which aim to provide a more secure revenue base for news media organisations. A valuable resource for journalism and policy scholars and students, Governing the Algorithmic Distribution of News is an important guide for anyone hoping to understand the central regulatory issues surrounding the online distribution of news.
