The Internet has changed the political world, but its effect on media usage patterns is not well understood. In particular, previous research suggests no clear answer to the question of whether the Internet is a substitute for or a complement to traditional media outlets. We contribute to this literature by applying theories from ecology—namely, the theory of the niche—to examine competition between new and older media. Our study is the first to test hypotheses derived from this theory on a large, national sample. The analysis indicates that people are replacing traditional outlets, especially newspapers, with the Internet. At the same time, however, replacement is not a widespread phenomenon as yet. We find important replacement differences across newspapers and radio on the one hand and television on the other. We also report some of the first evidence regarding the attitudinal consequences of replacement behavior.

This paper applies the theory of memetic engineering to a cyberterrorist group: Anonymous. Anonymous was created on the Internet and is a decentralized community that has no leaders. Memetic engineering, a theoretical concept developed by Richard Dawkins (1976), posits that memes (units of cultural transmission) are diffused through cultural channels (e.g., traditional media, social networking sites, etc.) to infect minds that, in turn, will replicate those memes themselves. Memetic engineering is about memetic replication. Memes can be anything from smiley faces to evil ideas. Members of Anonymous operate in (online) disguise and have been known to transmit terrorist memes through online channels such as imageboards, chatrooms, and even YouTube videos.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have been adopting the internet at a feverish pace. Recent studies have shown that up to 85% of SMEs in industrialized countries have web sites, yet less than half are utilizing these web sites to securely transact with their customers. Consumer media consumption is moving away from traditional media, like newspapers, to the internet. These revelations coupled with the growth of tools and techniques available to support online marketing, make it a perfect time for SMEs to market their web sites and ultimately succeed online. In this chapter we will present and support the hypothesis that SMEs should stop investing in their web site’s design and functionality and start investing in efforts to market their web sites online, no matter how lousy their web site may be in comparison to today’s standards. With the support of two case studies, illustrating the successful utilization of internet marketing by two very different SMEs, we will relate how a SME can effectively market their web site online. We will also discuss the tools and techniques available to help an SME successfully begin a journey of internet marketing.

This study explores the effects of the Internet on changes in traditional media industries. Previous studies addressing the Internet’s effects on media industries have largely been conducted in a piecemeal fashion, with most tackling narrowly defined topics limited to individual media in specific countries. By taking a broader perspective on the Internet’s effects, this study examines changes in the aggregate revenue of all major media industries. Employing country-level, panel-data analysis of 51 countries from 2009 to 2013, the study shows that the Internet has led to a shift in the balance of revenue away from advertising and toward direct payments.

This wireless advertising is considered to be an important alternative advertising medium in the future, due to its numerous advantages over traditional media. However, little research has been conducted on consumer acceptance of this medium in particular, in the United Kingdom. This study explores consumers’ attitudes towards and acceptance of mobile advertising, using focus group interviews. Results indicate that British consumers generally do not accept mobile advertising. Although mobile adverts are seen as interesting, eye catching, and motivating consumers to browse. Consumers who accept the technology do not see the need to have adverts on their mobiles. Those who dislike this medium are comfortable with using the Internet through their PCs as they do not see the benefits of mobile advertising, due to its small screen and speed limitation. Managerial considerations are also discussed.

Combining data from the sixth wave (2010–2014) of the World Values Survey (WVS) and the 2012–2013 Perceptions of Electoral Integrity (PEI) expert survey, this study looks at the link between the frequency of citizens’ informational use of traditional media (newspapers, magazines, radio and TV) and the internet, and the accuracy of their perceptions of the electoral process, and investigates how this link varies depending on countries’ levels of press freedom. A multilevel analysis including data from 16 countries shows that the frequency of the use of traditional media has a significantly more positive effect on the accuracy of citizens’ perceptions of electoral integrity in countries with high levels of press freedom compared with countries with low levels of press freedom. The frequency of the use of the internet relates similarly to the accuracy of perceptions of electoral integrity in countries with high and low levels of press freedom.

Resumen: Los medios digitales permiten una comunicación más directa que los tradicionales. Los activistas pueden optimizar su labor al encontrar nuevas formas de difundir mensajes, construidos en formatos audiovisuales con un componente estratégico para contrarrestar problemas sociales, como la violencia de género. Con esta investigación se pretende determinar si el arte digital es una herramienta persuasiva contra este problema en el entorno online. Esto se resolvió a través de dos etapas: la primera consta de una revisión bibliográfica; la segunda consiste en el análisis de contenidos sobre el desarrollo de las acciones online de artivistas que luchan contra la violencia de género, y sobre los proyectos influyentes (según ONU Mujeres y el Festival Iberoamericano de la Publicidad – FIAP) que se han realizado en distintos contextos geográficos, identificando su difusión en plataformas de comunicación, los formatos, contenidos, audiencia y engagement. Se detectó que no se aprovecha estratégicamente la comunicación 2.0; los pocos artivistas que tienen presencia en Internet se limitan a convocar a acciones offline; si bien los proyectos influyentes rompen estereotipos y promueven la participación de la audiencia, no se dirigen a los adolescentes, que son quienes más utilizan Internet. El trabajo multidisciplinario es clave para diseñar soportes altamente visuales y persuasivos.Abstract: Digital media allow a more direct communication than traditional media. Activists can optimize their work finding new ways to spread messages, which are built in audiovisual formats with a strategic component to counteract social problems, such as gender violence. The objective of this research is to determine if digital art is a persuasive tool against this problem in the online environment. This was resolved through two stages: the first one consists of a bibliographic review; the second one consists of a content analysis on the development of online actions by artivists who work against violence of gender, and on the influential projects (according to UN Women and the Ibero-American Advertising Festival - FIAP) that have been carried out in different geographical contexts, identifying their diffusion in communication platforms, the formats, contents, audience and engagement. It was detected that 2.0 communication is not used strategically; the few artivists with presence on the Internet only call for offline actions; Although influential projects break stereotypes and promote audience participation, they do not target adolescents, the ones who most use the Internet. Multidisciplinary work is key to designing highly visual and persuasive supports.

Guided by diffusion of innovation theory, this study compares patterns of connectedness and disconnectedness to the Internet and traditional media within and across select age groups (20–39, 40–59, and 60 or over) by conducting a randomly sampled survey in Tokyo, Japan. The oldest age group fell behind younger age groups not only in regards to ownership and access, but also the scope and intensity of Internet connectedness. Within age groups, disparities in Internet connectedness was found in the oldest age group, while disparities in connecting to television, newspapers and radio was found in the youngest and middle age groups. Mass media connectedness was found to have a negative relationship with PC Internet connectedness in the oldest age group. Implications for the evolution of media connectedness and disconnectedness across different generations are discussed.
