Content Management Systems

Integrated media systems are not only content management systems for production and publishing of online news, they are also hubs for mobile connectivity to remote servers and conduits for search and social media, but verification and analytics have also spawned data jobs intersecting with journalism. These layers of technological convergence across social media and media systems are like tunnels to data sharing on cloud servers. The latter has also presented opportunities for intermediary agencies, like Storyful, owned by Murdoch, to access big data and the potential of linked data via social media. The potential of cloud servers, mixed with social media, has also spawned new roles for news verification and roles in online trends, as well as cloud engineering jobs. Big data has indeed inspired new data sharing partnerships to boost online traffic and advertising through data insights. The result is more analytics that impact on the focus in journalism.

Online news systems share some affordances of Turing’s universal machine, especially configurability, but the early generation of web standards enabled data sharing, interoperability, and ultimately frameworks to reasoning about digital resources. At the backend of online news, indexing, mark-up languages, and applied logic, provide a base for machine intelligence that ultimately extends to cloud servers and big data. However, XML languages, like RSS, enabled the first phase of sharing stories in the form of newsfeeds. Specific mark-up for online news, such a NewsML, also defined layout and other features of news sites. Tim Berners-Lee established the W3C for online standards in the 1980s, and then on the cusp of the 21st century he proposed semantic and structured approaches for meaningful data sharing online. However, in subsequent years entrepreneurs have appropriated semantic approaches for different ends. The atomisation of data also introduces “personalised” data preferences to pitch news stories.

The emergence of various kinds of social media applications does not only affect the way people communicate, but also penetrates into the realm of online mass media. Social media platforms that carry the concept of web 2.0 namely user generated content and network effects make it easy for a news to become viral in a short time, regardless of the validity and accuracy of the news. Web 2.0 itself is a direct application of the concept of Knowledge Management (KM) which emphasizes collaboration and user participation, but in a broader domain, it is slightly different from KM which emphasizes internal organizational participation. Hipwee as one of the social media-based online news sites applies both concepts to its content management. The purpose of this study was to analyze the extent of the application of KM in relation to Web 2.0. The method used to explore data through interviews with Hipwee managers and direct observation to the office location and also the Hipwee site. The results obtained are that the adaptation of the KM concept has not been applied to Web 2.0 on the Hipwee site, namely the concept of data mining, while the Web 2.0 concept has been applied to KM, namely unbounded collaboration, user generated content and network effects.

The vulnerabilities shown by media systems and individual users exposed to attacks on truth from fake news and computational propaganda in recent years should be considered in light of the characteristics and concerns surrounding big data, especially the volume and velocity of messages delivered over social media platforms that tax the average user’s capacity to determine their truth value in real time. For reasons explained by the psychology of information processing, a high percentage of fake news that reaches audiences is accepted as true, particularly when distractions and interruptions typify user experiences with technology. As explained in this essay, fake news thrives in environments lacking editorial policing and epistemological vigilance, making the social media milieu ideally suited for spreading false information. In response, we suggest the value of an educational strategy to combat the dilemma that digital disinformation poses to informed citizenship.

In this article, we present a theoretical approach to conceptualizing the global news arena as a structure of relations formed across media systems worldwide, relations mapped by hyperlinked connections across online news platforms, including professional news sites, blogs, and other social media. Specifically, we argue that bridge blogs serve as the ‘weak ties’ (in Granovetter’s terms), linking cultural spheres formed by the ‘strong ties’ among traditional national media. Using China as the national context, we provide an overview of the phenomenon of bridge blogs, presenting an illustrative example to show how bridge blogs are positioned to provide contextual information and interpretation of events and issues in China to be better understood by overseas audiences.

This chapter examines how the multiplication of digital metrics, analytics, and algorithms is reconfiguring work practices and professional identities. It focuses on the case of journalism, a field that has been profoundly changed by digital technologies. It describes modern newsrooms that use digital tools in the gathering, production, and diffusion of information on the web, from group chats to social media platforms and content management systems. The chapter also introduces a new market that emerged for “web analytics” or software programs that track the behaviour and preferences of internet users. It describes how editors and journalists are provided with a constant stream of data about their audience, receiving increasingly detailed information in real time about the number of visitors, comments, likes, and tweets that their articles attract.

Approximately 80 % of people with some form of physical, mental,or intellectual disability live in developing countries. These samecountries have shown significant growth in the availability of theinternet. Such facts reveal good possibilities regarding access toemotional support and experiences exchange among people withdisabilities through social media. However, hate speech and derogatorycomments about these people can be a recurring problem onthese platforms. In order to identify these posts, this article featuresa classifier developed using Twitter posts related to disabilities.The results show that the tool developed is promising in detectingoffensive and pejorative comments on this topic, which can be usedin content management systems.

Semantic news tags processed via cloud servers are in amongst big data and machine learning systems. The latter may have influenced Murdoch’s acquisition of a ‘social media news agency’, and other partnerships, as a mix of new roles across journalism, analytics, and search emerged. Some editing roles in journalism focus on SEO, but Murdoch’s Storyful, which started as a verification business created jobs for cloud operations engineers, viral video editors, and trends editors. Data-mining techniques were a lure for news and social media partnerships circa 2013–2016. In the name of verification, access to big data was matched by social media gaining credibility, evident in Facebook Newswire and other journalism projects. Deep learning methods in search, referrals, and automated tagging have also produced mutual benefits, mostly via third party agreements. However, data sharing for political ends by targeting particular users, and verification projects, have not stopped fake news.

Advances in online technology and news systems, such as automated reasoning across digital resources and connectivity to cloud servers for storage and software, have changed digital journalism production and publishing methods. Integrated media systems used by editors are also conduits to search systems and social media, but the lure of big data and rise in fake news have fragmented some layers of journalism, alongside investments in analytics and a shift in the loci for verification. Data has generated new roles to exploit data insights and machine learning methods, but access to big data and data lakes is so significant it has spawned newsworthy partnerships between media moguls and social media entrepreneurs. However, digital journalism does not even have its own semantic systems that could protect the values of journalism, but relies on the affordances of other systems. Amidst indexing and classification systems for well-defined vocabulary and concepts in news, data leaks and metadata present challenges for journalism. By contrast data visualisations and real-time field reporting with short-form mobile media and civilian drones set new standards during the European asylum seeker crisis. Aerial filming with drones also adds to the ontological base of journalism. An ontology for journalism and intersecting ontologies can inform the design of new semantic learning systems. The Semantic CAT Method, which draws on participatory design and game design, also assists the conceptual design of synthetic players with emotion attributes, towards a meta-model for learning. The design of context-aware sensor systems to protect journalists in conflict zones is also discussed.

The Shipboard Training in the selected Maritime Institution uses a distributed documentation partially manual process in monitoring the performance of the cadets that most likely causes the delay and inconsistency of reports. Their Department uses any Social Media Website in assessing/validating the reports on the performance of the cadets. The Department of Shipboard Training receives a summary of the report through Social Media Website. Technology nowadays is overwhelming that resulted to change faster from a stand-alone system to a web based technology which is capable of supporting almost all of the computerized transactions using an open source mobile applet and Content Management Systems. Most of the organizations have embraced technology and have developed exceptional online programs that provide easy access and massive communication. These maritime schools entirely take after the IMO model courses as proclaimed by the 1978 tradition on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for seafarers (STCW), as altered in 1995, and are the main ones permitted by our legislature to lead and regulate baccalaureate courses with 3-year scholastics in addition to 1 year managed shipboard apprenticeship for deck and engine cadets.
