There is a gap between the optimal and the current utilization of radiotherapy in Europe: the ESTRO Cancer Foundation (ECF) was set-up to support ESTRO in tackling the barriers preventing patients to receive the treatment they need. The ECF aims at creating value for multiple stakeholders - patients, healthcare professionals and national societies, decision makers. The value creation will be captured in a virtuous circle: the ECF builds up on the ESTRO knowledge base and activities, while ESTRO research outcomes will be better accessible to external publics. The key success factors of the ECF are the engagement of the corporate partners and the synergies with the ESTRO activities: both are instrumental for the sustainability of the ECF. The Marie Curie Legacy campaign is the first project of the ECF. Leveraging on the 150th anniversary of Marie Curie's birth, it raises awareness on radiotherapy, and is based on the ESTRO toolkit for radiotherapy advocacy. The 7th November marked the launch of the campaign at European level, with an animation commemorating the legacy Marie Curie left to radiotherapy. The campaign was then led in a few European countries: in Belgium and Poland national key opinion leaders, selected in agreement with national RT societies, voiced the benefits of RT through interviews in traditional media. More countries will be targeted in 2018. With a 6 weeks campaign using social media the video was viewed by 250,000 viewers in YouTube only, and in full length by more than 60,000 viewers. In Belgium, the media campaign run for 2 days, obtaining 25 clippings, with headlines on traditional media and primetime on TV channels. In Poland, the campaign and video were launched in occasion of the World Cancer Day. The social media push of the video with subtitles ensured 125,000 views. The traditional media campaign, in one week, obtained 155 online and printed articles. The campaign, combining an European approach and national deployments, is an instrument for the European society to empower the national societies in the positioning of RT in their countries. The animation video proved to be an excellent hook to attract attention, while the engagement of national key opinion leaders is necessary for the overall success of the campaign, health remaining a national matter. Targeting the content is essential: radiotherapy is impersonated by Marie Curie in the animation, while in the national campaigns where the messages are also directed to decision makers, radiotherapy is impersonated by national experts. Overall, the process of raising awareness initiated by the ECF requires strong synergies with ESTRO activities, to ensure a two ways street: the ECF projects ensure that the benefits of radiotherapy treatment are better known, and ESTRO activities can capture the value created, by fostering radiotherapy: securing investments in radiotherapy resources, providing education, creating a more favorable policy environment, advancing research.

The role of social media in aiding terrorist attacks worldwide has been widely discussed among counterterrorism officials and academics. Since 2014, the idea of ‘crowdsourced terrorism’, whereby the Islamic State (IS) outsourced the conduct of attacks to their followers and attempted to attract them to Syria, has been popularly used by Western policymakers. This article critically examines the phenomenon of crowdsourcing and the IS’s online appeal in the case of Indonesia. The participant–curator crowdsourcing model outlined by Laurie Philips and Daren Brabham explains the online appeal of the IS, with social media facilitating the IS’s establishment of the relationship with Internet users in faraway countries such as Indonesia and allowing them to participate in the making of the IS brand. Participatory culture therefore encourages an e-supporter’s faith in the importance of their individual contribution and social connection that transcend offline realities in areas such as citizenship. IS opinion leaders work alongside online supporters to craft the meaning of martyrdom and imagination of citizenship through social media posts about life in the Caliphate. The land of Syria is imagined simultaneously as paradise for those who take their faith seriously as well as the venue for the Islamic equivalent of Armageddon. Hijrah (jihad by emigration) to Syria and martyrdom are represented as obligatory in the quest for equalization of power and freedom from slavery of those who are against the establishment of the Caliphate. Crowdsourced imaginations of the IS have had implications in several areas of policymaking. The article will discuss the implications of online imaginaries on IS’s approaches to militancy in its operations, Indonesian decision makers’ debate to revoke the citizenship of those who had travelled to IS and for the Indonesian military in its quest for expansion of their role in counterterror operations.

Political campaign communication has become increasingly hybrid and the ability to create synergies between older and newer media is now a prerequisite for running a successful campaign. Nevertheless, beyond establishing that parties and individual politicians use social media to gain visibility in traditional media, not much is known about how political actors use the hybrid media system in their campaign communication. At the same time, the personalization of politics, shown to have increased in the media coverage of politics, has gained little attention in the context of today’s hybrid media environment. In this research we analyze one aspect of hybrid media campaign communication, political actors’ use of traditional media in their social media campaign communication. Through a quantitative content analysis of the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts of Finnish parties and their leaders published during the 2019 Finnish parliamentary elections, we find that much of this hybridized campaign communication was personalized. In addition, we show that parties and their leaders used traditional media for multiple purposes, the most common of which was gaining positive visibility, pointing to strategic considerations. The results have implications for both the scholarship on hybrid media systems and personalization of politics.

This case study examines how social media tools were used by a Nonprofit Organization (NPO) to raise money during a catastrophic fire in the Western United States. The fire claimed over 18,000 acres of forestland, nearly 350 homes, and 2 human lives. When it occurred, it was the most catastrophic fire event to hit this community. This case illuminates specific ways in which social media provided the key tools that enabled the creation of this NPO, the sale of hundreds of thousands of tee shirts in one month, and ultimately dollars donated to aid the victims of the fire. This case is unique because it is the story of an organization that was created overnight because individuals in the organization's social system rapidly evaluated and adopted their innovation. Additionally, opinion leaders (particularly those in traditional media) within the social system aided the NPO in rapidly establishing legitimacy with its followers.
