It happens more than once that local government officials, including mayors and city presidents of local government newspapers that are published in print form and/or in electronic form on a website by local government publishing houses financed from the state's public finance system or from the local government budget treat them as a propaganda tube of their person. In your opinion, is this ethical, socially responsible and in line with citizens' expectations? In this regard, in some countries there has been a discussion for years whether this kind of local media is needed since it is mainly used by local government authorities to promote themselves in the context of the next local elections. This kind of discussion has been going on for many years in the public debate in the country where I operate. The basis of the consideration is the issue of spending money from the state's public finance system to carry out such propaganda publishing activities of local government units. In addition, it has happened more than once that local government authorities have obtained additional funds from the state's public finance system to carry out the digitization and Internetization of the publishing process of local government journals published. However, during this process, the issue of objectivity and journalistic integrity of the information presented in these magazines was not improved, and still transferred to the Internet, local government magazines are used as an instrument of political marketing, where local government authorities promote themselves, present their achievements only in positive aspects with not allowing a word of criticism, discussion, polemics coming from the local community.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

And what is your opinion on this topic?

I ask because different countries have different solutions to this issue. In the country where I have been operating for many years, the main, dominant, meanstream, public news media are under government control, are state-owned (e.g., companies in which the treasury dominates as the main or sole shareholder), are referred to as public, and are used by the government as a mouthpiece for pro-government propaganda, including generating disinformation to citizens so that citizens will once again vote for the same ruling political party in parliamentary elections. On the one hand, this has been operating for many years and nothing has changed in this regard. And on the other hand, it is criticized by media experts, researchers and scholars, by media scholars, but also by many citizens who are not professionally or scientifically involved in the media. The criticism points to the lack of information objectivity, to the politicization of information, to the creation of pro-government propaganda, consisting of constant and incessant praise of what the government is doing, criticism of what the opposition parties are proposing, etc. on the unreliability of information, on the violation of the rules of journalistic ethics, on the public practice of hegemony against people working in opposition political circles, on the practice of disinformation even against people representing the so-called "hardcore electorate" of voters who usually vote in parliamentary and other elections for the ruling PIS political option.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

What do you think about this topic?

What is your opinion on this issue?

On the one hand, online social media, which has been developing for 2 decades now, is making a significant contribution to the development of remote online communication, social remote communication, open communication of sending content created on the fly, sending information to friends, promoting oneself and/or specific product or service offers, informal data transfer, expressing one's emotions in the information sent, including positive as well as negative emotions, and so on. In this way, online social media on a local, regional or global scale have also contributed to the objectification of information in the context of news reported in official, meanstream media. In this regard, online social media are fulfilling their role of social and objectification of media information both in countries with democratic power systems and in non-democratic, dictatorial power systems as long as they are not blocked and restricted by the power system.

On the other hand, there has long been a lot of fake news and disinformation in online social media, the transmission and forwarding by more Internet users of memes, posts, videos, banners, comments containing unverified, unconfirmed content, data and information. In addition, new ICT and Industry 4.0 information technologies, new versions of graphic and other applications are being used to generate disinformation. Also, cyber criminals and hackers breaking into social media user profiles, stealing sensitive data of social media users are also using new technologies. Recently, machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence technologies have also been used by cybercriminals and untrustworthy social media users to generate disinformation. As part of this, cybercriminals, hackers and unethical Internet users generating disinformation take advantage of security gaps in information systems, exploit diagnosed inadequacies in cyber security tools operating in the aforementioned social media sites. Thus, it is necessary to conduct relentless monitoring of information traffic on these portals, to identify cybercriminal, hacking, fake news and disinformation generating activities, and to improve cyber security systems, instruments, tools as efficiently and quickly as possible.

In view of the above, what prevails in recent times? Do new technologies rather help cyber criminals, hackers and foul Internet users generating disinformation, or do they rather help the development of social media portals and the improvement of cyber security systems?

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

What is your opinion on this topic?

Counting on your opinions, on getting to know your personal opinion, on a fair approach to the discussion of scientific issues, I deliberately used the phrase "in your opinion" in the question.

The above text is entirely my own work written by me on the basis of my research.

How can we develop students ' abilities in order to reduce the impact of digital media, and direct them to reading?

What are the existing digital media literacy practices among different demographic groups in India, and how do these practices vary across different regions and socioeconomic backgrounds? This question aims to understand the digital media literacy practices that currently exist among different demographic groups in India and how these practices vary across different regions and socioeconomic backgrounds.

What is the concept of digital media?

The research can revolve around the role of social media in conveying the image of the effects of the earthquake in the different regions of Turkey and Syria, and its use by people and civil organizations to seek help and distress.

The publishing process can be agreed upon, and I have a number of suggested journals for publication.

Information literacy in the context of digital divide refers to the ability to access, evaluate, and use information effectively in digital environments. This includes being able to navigate the internet, search for information, evaluate the credibility of sources, and use technology tools to communicate and collaborate. The digital divide refers to the unequal distribution of access to technology and the internet, often based on socioeconomic factors. Individuals who are information literate in digital environments are better equipped to bridge the digital divide and access the resources and opportunities available through technology.

Information literacy can play a key role in overcoming the digital divide by providing individuals with the skills and knowledge they need to access, evaluate, and use digital resources effectively. This includes:

By providing individuals with these skills and knowledge, information literacy can help bridge the digital divide and give individuals the tools they need to participate in a digital world

Audience Study

I am researching gender bias in sport media have done a survey which involved 8 sets of 4 images of athletes (4 male and 4 female sets), each being followed up with 3 questions. Participants had to select which image they thought best fit the 3 questions. (So i ended up with 8 answers to each of the questions)

I'm struggling with figuring out how to analyse my data? I need to keep my data in terms of 'amount of times this image was chosen', so i need it to be in whole number (image 1,2,3,4) but everything I try gives me the mean answer from 1-4 across ALL the images for the question.

Questions I am trying to answer are:

Was a certain image chosen more often in the female athlete sets than the male athlete sets (and vice versa)?

Did male/female participants differ from eachother in their responses? (was one gender more likely to select one type of image compared to the other gender)

Happy to answer follow up questions. I feel like the answer is simple but I havent done stat analysis in ages and I just cant think of anything.

Curious

I am a social media researcher so that I have to collect various communication data from different social media platforms. The research data I am talking about include comments, reactions, views, and so on. In Bangladesh, the two leading social media platforms are Facebook and YouTube. As I am not much efficient in any programming language yet, so I must rely on other data collection/scraping tools (mostly free) to collect data easily from these two sites.

For Facebook and YouTube, for instance, I use CrowdTangle (www.crowdtangle.com), Mozdeh (www.mozdeh.wlv.ac.uk), Webometric Analysts (www.lexiurl.wlv.ac.uk), Comment Exporter (commentexporter.com), Export Comments (www.exportcomments.com), Social Blade (www.socialblade.com), etc. Previously, I also used Netvizz and Facepager, but they are unavailable right now.

What could be more suitable alternatives? Also, TikTok as a popular social media is thriving in South Asia, mostly among teenagers. Therefore, can anyone suggest to me how to collect/scrape TikTok data (e.g., channel metrics, video views, reactions, comments)?

Thanks in advance.

We are applying for a research project grant which aims at conducting a research in the fields of Digital Media, Smart Devices and Social Acceptance in 20 countries. We invite collaborations from each of the 20 countries. For more details please visit:

En mi opinión, la influencia de los medios digitales es un hecho presente en la educación de los niños de hoy. Esta influencia puede ser tanto positiva como negativa y afecta al desarrollo del alumno de manera significativa, puesto que nuestra rutina se encuentra marcada y normalizada por el uso de las nuevas tecnologías y las aplicamos de manera instintiva en el desarrollo de nuestros días.

Hello everyone,

We are presenting a didactic session on the use of digital media on medical education research in May. There will be a panel of experts from medical education and social media. I need to collect commonly asked questions from research community- what questions would you be asking them?

I appreciate your time!

i am looking for studies on how learning outcomes vary by medium. in particular i am looking for studies similar to teh CREDO online charter school study (2015) (https://credo.stanford.edu/pdfs/OnlineCharterStudyFinal2015.pdf),

which compare learnng outcomes in traditional schools with learning outcomes in "digital schools".

I am not interested in single studies showing that a certain topic can be mastered better or worse via traditional or digital media. I am wondering how learning in schools would change if the whole setting changes to mostly digital input.

has anybody any tipp?

I am conducting a study on the "ventiloquist effect" of Spanish print and digital media with respect to international news agencies in the Middle East. The central hypothesis is that the Spanish media reproduce and paraphrase the framing of international news agencies (Reuters, AP, AFP, Al Jazeera), without taking into account the verification of the facts or other sources.

Thank you very much in advance for your collaboration.

Social and digital media advances are shaping how we search for, assimilate and disseminate information. PAREXEL and Wiley are partnering on a research project exploring how digital innovations and social media may transform medical publications in the future.

PAREXEL and Wiley seek opinions from anyone who reads, writes or helps develop medical publications. Your input would be extremely valued.

The survey should take less than 15 minutes to complete. The deadline for completion is 10 February 2019.

Have your say and take part at:

By participating in this survey, you acknowledge that your responses to the questions will be collated, analyzed and incorporated into a series of publications. All responses will remain anonymous.

We thank you for devoting your valuable time to support our research.

I have been asked to help a group of high-schools construct a survey related to screen use, loneliness, stress, etc. their students.

What is the least problematic way of asking about screen use in a survey format? Both in terms of questions and answer scale.

Since a number of studies find that self-reported screen use has limited validity, this will never be a perfect approach, but I'd like it to be as valid as possible given the constraints.

The data are both intended for research purposes (hypotheses to be discussed) and to give the students a dataset to work with in Math and Civics, so nuance is very welcome.

(I will discuss covariates with the schools later, but ideally I intend to challenge "screentime" as a unitary concept, and hopefully add a uses and gratifications dimension to the data, including non-screen related factors that might affect, especially social, wellbeing).

Am doing research related to the future of journalism in television but with special reference to the growing trend brought about by the digital media.

As everyone knows, the use of digital media in classrooms is not new, but sometimes we only go out with the same apps to teach an English or whatever lesson. Therefore, to look for new apps to make a creative teaching enviroment and to enhence our education is a topic we should talk about.

3. What best tool(s) will be more productive in implementing the solutions?

Digital Games Science (which does not yet exist, in my opinion) is suffering from a lack of clear concepts. Because it has no language of discourse, it is not (yet) a science.

Concepts are largely varying and/or vague.

Digital RPGs are an important category of games. (I do not use the term "genre", because this is incorrectly carried over from motion picture and very frequently misused.) But opinions about what makes an RPG are divided.

In my opinion, role playing means to play a role which evolves over time in accordance to the way in which you play.

Do you agree?

The application of computerised optimisation techniques, based on genetic algorithms adapted from nature, develop intelligent facades to solve today's building problems; however, with the use of such advanced technologies, energy is wasted causing a high overall environmental impact. By considering existing natural biological 'skins' or 'cells structure' of certain flora and fauna, can we translate this biology by the same genetic algorithms as solutions for a net-zero façade design?

I have been researching on this topic - have explored different country situations from time to time - given the fact that my origin is Asia then I was in Australia and now in Europe. It is, indeed, an interesting arena to explore. Different country has different regulatory frameworks or monitoring initiatives in this regard. But the digital platform is very much fast-changing - regulations need to cope up with the new technological developments and other aspects of audience interactions. There is a research gap to fill. What is an authentic source of regulatory frameworks or censorship related initiatives when it comes to the sexually explicit contents in the digital media? The digital platform is still so much unstable - are we in a position to formulate a stable monitoring framework at all? What is the trend to follow in this regard? Any case study suggestion? Thanks.

Dear all,

Is anyone aware of studies which discuss how parenthood is represented in media / popular press? I'm particularly interested in studies which have their focus on media representations of parenthood and children's / parent's use of digital technologies (i.e. how parents smartphone use is discussed in media).

Thanks,

Pekka

I'm looking for current studies in this field and trying to connect with bibliotherapists and writing therapists as well as researchers in this field, especially those with interests in digital literature and media more generally.

Documentation and investigation of African oral genres are still largely based on material accessible in written form, although it is nowadays largely accepted that collecting and analyzing printed transcriptions and translations only give a faint portrait of oral poems and tales and their literary and social functions. As crystallization of decades of discussion in the field of orality, the idea underlying the Verba Africana series is that textual content and visual performance are both essential for classification, description and interpretation of the oral genres and their context of narration. The performance of African oral genres, whether classic poems, songs and tales or innovative genres such as hip hop and AIDS theatre, is recorded and integrated into the textual presentation that allows the interested public to approach oral literary productions as a ‘total event’ distributed in several layers: video fragments and short information on the menu, with the possibility to broaden and deepen the information thanks to full articles presented on subpages.

In the article by Merolla, Ameka and Dorvlo 2013 we present problems of selection of the video-documentation that are to some extent linked to the characteristics of the Verba Africana series: it addresses academics and students as well as the public that is interested in African oral genres and those involved with cultural issues or with specific languages and traditions. This article, however, examines topics that belong to a larger debate in all disciplines in which fieldwork is a central activity, such as the relationship between researchers and the interviewed persons, and the questions about the responsibility for what is finally produced and published. What we present is an example of the even more intense questions that arise when we make use of audio-visual media and the final publication is in the form of a video documentation available on the Internet. We hope that our experience will contribute to the discussion on the theory and methodology of video documentation and research on oral literatures.

I'm currently looking to do some research into the relationship between cognitive styles and organisational culture, focusing on their effect on interpretation of digital media. As part of this work I am looking for a proven cognitive style questionnaire to help gather some data from NHS employees. I can find lots of papers but nothing in the way of questions relevant to how people interact with media. Can anyone help please?

I'm collecting games that exhibit spaces that are logically impossible or contradictory, like grandmother's house in The Path, which is bigger on the inside than on the outside. I'm also looking for games that exhibit logically impossible temporality, e.g. reverse causality or time moving in different directions at the same time, like in Braid.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I'm actually not just looking for games but digital narratives more generally - so any suggestions in this broad area of interactive narrative media are more than welcome. Thanks in advance.

Do you believe that the functions defined in this study to the traditional media are valid for the digital press?

Can someone please help me to find out articles related to digital media use in higher education marketing such as digital media and branding?

The new TV ecosystem is dramatically changing with arise of multiple technologies supported by the democratization and evolution of Internet. Do consumers seek for a unified TV experience that narrows what the widely implemented AYCE (all you can eat) model has to offer? What is the way to go? An integrated search engine that goes through all the platforms that the user has access (e.g.: STB contents, Netflix or Youtube) or a recommendation system that also goes through all the possibly available contents, but based on user AV media consumption history, user preferences and social networking information?

I'm helping to write a proposal about developing a system which evaluates accuracy and integrity of each internet media. I hope that the evaluation scores will be able to tell us which media is reliable and fair.

Pl help me to find or share your ideas of any publications which evaluates (internet) media accuracy, or evaluate information accuracy by a score system, using IT technology.

Thanks.

In my research I will use a measuring scale based in McCroskey Studies. (http://www.jamescmccroskey.com). I would like to know more about another research in this field or theme.

Thanks.

Our company intends to participate in a European project MEDIA, we are looking for partnerships with european companies in the field of audio-visual.

One common way in which information goes viral through Web 2.0 media is through infographics.  I am looking for research that addresses representational differences in statistics, with a specific focus on infographics that use multiple representational forms.  

I also want to find research involving viral media learning, including interaction between knowledge, beliefs and identity.

I need recent data.

In some developed countries, functional illiteracy continues to be a very serious problem, partly due to their crisis in education.. Do you think digital technologies might influence an increase in the level of literacy - particularly among children. In countries where illiteracy has historically been a persistent problem, Book publishers have been making efforts to give their books away to poorer children who have access to the internet because they believe that by introducing children to online stories these children will eventually be encouraged to read 'classical' books.
