Entertainment Television

Since the late 1980s, Filipino entertainment television has assumed and maintained a dominance in national popular culture, which expanded in the digital era. The media landscape into which digital technologies were launched in the Philippines was largely set in the wake of the 1986 popular movement and change of government referred to as the EDSA revolution: television stations that had been sequestered under martial law were turned over to family-dominated commercial enterprises, and entertainment media proliferated. Building upon the long development of entertainment industries in the Philippines, new social media encounters with entertainment content generate expanded and engaged publics whose formation continues to operate upon a foundation of televisual media. This article considers the particular role that entertainment media plays in the formation of publics in which comedic, melodramatic and celebrity-led content generates networks of followers, users and viewers whose loyalty produces various forms of capital, including in notable cases political capital.

The Media

Sports reporters depend on access to events and sources as much or more than any other news professional. Over the past few years, some sports organizations have attempted to restrict such access, as well as what reporters can publish via social media. In the digital era, access and publishing autonomy, as institutionalized concepts, are evolving rapidly. Hypotheses tying access and work practices to reporters’ perceptions of the legitimacy they experience are developed and tested via a structural equation model, using responses to a survey of journalists in American intercollegiate athletics and observed dimensions of access and autonomy to measure a latent variable of legitimacy. The model suggests that reporters have mixed views about whether they possess the legitimacy they need to do their jobs.

Digital technologies and the Internet have revolutionized the way people gather information and acquire new knowledge. With a click of a button or a touch on the screen, any person who is wired to the internet can access a wealth of information, ranging from books, poems, articles, graphics, animations and so much more. It is imperative that educational systems and classroom practices must change to serve our 21st century students better. This study examines the use of Edmodo as a social media to teach a course in Pedagogy to a class of digital natives. The media is used as an out-of-class communication forum to post/submit assignments and resources, discuss relevant issues, exchange information, and handle housekeeping purposes. A survey of students' responses and discussions on their participatory process leads to insights on how the social media helps achieve the required competences.

Daugiaterpiškumas, multimedijiškumas, įvairių raiškų susiliejimas – esminis šiandienos ir rytdienos medijų bruožas. Tai dažniausiai laikoma specifine skaitmeninės eros ypatybe, tačiau žvilgsnis į istorinę komunikacijos technologijų raidą atskleidžia tam tikrą senųjų medijų suformuotų charakteristikų pasikartojimą naujosiose medijose. Nuo tapybos, kinematografo, televizijos iki kompiuterio tęsiasi ekrano tradicija. Skaitmeninėse technologijose išsaugomas klasikinis spaudos puslapis, stiprėja rašto pozicijos, derinami naratyvo ir duomenų bazės principai. Konstruojant skaitmeninius kūrinius grįžtama prie ciklo, būdingo dar XIX a. medijoms, kompiuteris ir mobiliosios technologijos formuoja skaitmeninį dendį, tęsiantį Ch. Baudelaire’o prieš pusantro šimto metų aprašytą anonimišką stebėtoją – bastūną. Kintant ir tobulėjant technologijoms, nuolat vyko sudėtingi adaptavimosi, transformacijos procesai. Viena medija tarsi išnirdavo iš kitos, kiekvienas naujas prietaisas ar technologija sustiprindavo tam tikrą raišką, slopindama kitą. Skaitmeninė era suteikia įvairialypės raiškos galimybes, grįžtama prie žmonijos ištakų, ikimedijinės komunikacijos – visaverčio žmogaus bendravimo su žmogumi.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: medijų istorija, daugiaterpiškumas, daugialypė raiška, šiuolaikinės medijos.Multienvironmental Collision in Medias: The Technological Development AspectŽygintas Pečiulis SummaryContemporary and future medias can be characterised as multienvironmental, multimedia and of various expressions. It is usually considered to be characteristic of the digital era; however, a glance on the historical development of communication technologies reveals a certain repetition of characteristics of old medias in new medias. The tradition develops from painting, cinematography, television to computer screen. Digital technologies preserve the classical printed page, strengthen writing positions and combine narrative and data base principles. While developing digital works, the media cycle prominent in the 19th century is applied. Computers and mobile technologies form a digital dandy continuing with an anonymous observer described by Ch. Baudelaire more than a century ago. Changes and improvements in technologies provoked constant adjustment and transformation processes. One media as if emerged from another. Every new device or technology strengthened certain expression by suppressing the other. The digital age provides with versatile expression possibilities. Thus, the rise of humankind and pre-media communication or versatile communication among men is highlighted as well.

News Outlet

As new media emerge and replace the popularity of conventional media, people use social media not only as medium to socialize, but also increase its role as news source or news outlet. A generational divide has always existed within news. The older people tend to choose TV and newspaper as their primary news source meanwhile research conducted by Reuters in 2015 showed that younger audiences that grown up in digital era, exhibiting very different behaviors and increasingly expect the news to come to them through online channels and in new formats. This makes social media become the opportunities and also threats to some news companies. What should the media do in order to survive? Does the generation gap influence the media to use both traditional and digital or social media? Some online media even put their headlines and link in Facebook and Twitter as news outlet, so people can just click the link and go to their websites. Methodology used in this research is qualitative with data gathered from focus group discussion and interview. The result of the study expected to show how the generation gap creates different media consumption and the need for news corporation to change their pattern in order to survive.

Fifty Shades Of Grey

Chapter 2 attends to the role played by “moral offsets” and what socialpsychologists term “moral self-licensing” in intertwined stories of ecopiety and consumopiety in the nottotally unrelated realms of both popular erotic fiction and corporate public relations messaging.Reading across platforms, this chapter teases out various portrayals of environmental “sin” and “virtue,”juxtaposing the corporate public relations practice of “greenwashing” with the “eco-pious” storying of CEO and philanthropist protagonist Christian Grey in the popular mass-market romance Fifty Shades of Grey. As critics/activists use social media to organize and voice objections both to the corporate practice of public relations “greenwashing” and to the romanticized representations of abusive power in Fifty Shades, these protesters wield digital technologies as tools of narrative interruption and contestation. Their citizen interventions and “transformative works” of media offer insight into the participatory dynamics of what the chapter argues is an emergent environmental economy of virtue as mediated through popular culture.

Conflicting Messages

Filipinos are avid consumers of exported South Korean media products. Teenagers and young adults know the lyrics and dance moves of their favorite K-Pop performers while older viewers are engrossed in the weekly Korean television dramas (known in the Philippines as ‘Koreanovelas’). There exists, however, a fundamental disconnect between the idealised images disseminated in the media and their everyday lived experiences that are characterised by mutual antipathy. My objective in this research project was to examine how Filipino consumers negotiate these conflicting messages by exploring the correlation between the consumption of Korean media products and the consumerism of Korean non-media products by Filipino fans of the Korean Wave.

The Law

President Ferdinand E. Marcos declared martial law in the Philippines on 21 September 1972. Issuing the declaration under Proclamation 1081 which suspended civil rights, gagged the news media and imposed military authority in the country, Marcos defended this draconian move under the Philippines Constitution in response to a series of bombings allegedly caused by communist rebels. The emergency rule at the height of the Cold War was also planned to quell rebellion and drive national development. Four decades later, on 12 September 2012, President Benigno Aquino III signed Republic Act No. (RA) 10175, or the Cybercrime Prevention Act, into law. This legislation was immediately widely condemned as a threat to freedom of expression on the internet, the media and online privacy and has been likened by human rights groups, media freedom advocates, ‘netizens’ and opposition Congress members as comparable to the Marcos Martial Law era. Kabataan Representative Raymond Palatino branded the legislation ‘e-Martial Law’, comparing it to repressive Marcos-era decrees censoring and harassing the media. Fifteen Supreme Court appeal petitions were lodged against the Cybercrime Law but the subsequent ruling found the law constitutional in February 2014. This article examines the law, challenges since the constitutional ruling, and demands for repealing the law and replacing it with a so-called ‘Magna Carta’ of internet media freedom.Pictured: Figure 1: Protests against the Cybercrime Law have been widespread in the Philippines. Image: Interaksyon

Hybrid War

The article provides a complex analysis of how entertainment media can serve to undermine a country’s resilience and security amidst hybrid war using the case of Ukraine as an example. The paper documents that before the launch of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in 2014, Russian media products had been heavily present in Ukrainian media space, including the entertainment segment. In 2017, Ukraine restricted access to some Russian media products and social media in its territory in an effort to counter disinformation and the use of user data by Russian security services via their access to the social media based in the Russian jurisdiction. Despite the measures taken by the state to address security challenges, build resilience and fight disinformation in the media, the influence of Russian entertainment media in shaping public opinion remains significant. In this paper, the authors analyze segments of the media space where Russian entertainment products are present in Ukraine, the tools used by Russia to enforce its narratives through media content, and the ways Ukraine has responded to these. This paper aims at demonstrating the role of entertainment mass media in the resilience of countries and how it is used in the context of hybrid war. Also, it looks at the efforts to counter this influence. The research shows that Russian entertainment media and content act as a soft power or cultural affinity element alongside misinformation or manipulations via news or information content. By using historical references, demonstrating civilizational and moral superiority, showing Slavic brotherhood, Russia and russocentric forces use entertainment media to shape and manipulate public opinion. As content consumption switches from linear media, such as television, to non-linear clusters of conventional and digital outlets, the room for the distribution of manipulative messages and narratives expands. Among other things, this undermines the resilience of countries and endangers their national security, especially in the hybrid war context. Much is being done to counter this impact. Ukraine’s restrictive measures against some Russian media, social networks and content have been effective in that they have decreased the consumption and the trust for Russian media amongst Ukrainian audiences. Offering alternative content, produced domestically and internationally, has contributed to diversification of the content, moving the audiences from the Russocentric cultural product to a more diverse one.

The Media

Today, advances in information and communication technology are rapidly showing that technology can make sustainable change for society and create diversity in the media. This is evidenced by changes in the availability of media that are historically scarce and limited access to the availability of outlets or media that are abundant. New media options are offered to audiences to channel their emotions. Citizen journalism, which is never as difficult as in the digital era, has become more diverse in terms of expression from citizens, such as the presence of hate speech. This term is being channeled through social media into the digital public space by people. So, enliven the digital public space before the information is inevitably disrupted. The current situation is changing from public satisfaction to group or individual satisfaction from joint hearings. Researchers see this empirical phenomenon as very important to study. Its purpose is to reveal how hatred is expressed in the digital age. The aim of this research is to express hatred in social media. This research shows that social media, a global public space, has been used by people to communicate their thoughts in several attempts. There is a community journalism philosophy, and there are common reasons for voicing hatred.Keywords: hoax; public sphere; digital; social media
