The internet has tremendous effects to social and religious lives, including Islamic propagation (da'wah) activities. This paper aims to examine the fundamental concepts of da'wah in response to the mushrooming of cyber based-da’wah as well as adaptation to new media culture. Using a qualitative research for conceptual design, this study has found that the proliferation of cyber religious proselytizing leads the elements of da'wah have become ever-widening concepts. The concept of da’i, for instance, has experienced the reconceptualisation that not only refers to person who convey Islamic teachings through religious sermon (khutbah), but also denotes to a creative content provider for da’wah purposes in the internet. Additionally, the power of preaching in the new media lies in good, comprehensive, and argumentative messages. Similarly, redefinition of the concepts ma'du, feedback, and other da'wah elements occur as response to digital media culture.

Abstract The growth of the Internet over the past four years provides the failure analyst with a new media for communicating his results. The new digital media offers significant advantages over analog publication of results. Digital production, distribution and storage of failure analysis results reduces copying costs and paper storage, and enhances the ability to search through old analyses. When published digitally, results reach the customer within minutes of finishing the report. Furthermore, images on the computer screen can be of significantly higher quality than images reproduced on paper. The advantages of the digital medium come at a price, however. Research has shown that employees can become less productive when replacing their analog methodologies with digital methodologies. Today's feature-filled software encourages "futzing," one cause of the productivity reduction. In addition, the quality of the images and ability to search the text can be compromised if the software or the analyst does not understand this digital medium. This paper describes a system that offers complete digital production, distribution and storage of failure analysis reports on the Internet. By design, this system reduces the futzing factor, enhances the ability to search the reports, and optimizes images for display on computer monitors. Because photographic images are so important to failure analysis, some digital image optimization theory is reviewed.

The spread of digital media on the internet was very broad, fast, and cannot be monitored in a structured manner about what media has been uploaded and distributed on the internet network. The spread of digital media like this was very difficult to detect whether the media that shared was privately owned or that of others that is re-shared by media theft or digital media piracy. One step to overcome the theft of digital works is to give them a watermark, which is an identity that is placed on top of the work. However, this is still considered unsafe because the identity attached can be cut and manipulated again until it is not visible. In addition, the use of Steganography method to hide messages in an image can still be manipulated by adding messages continuously so that it accumulates and damages the original owner of the image. In this article, the author provides a solution called Digital Watermarking, a step of encrypting the data of the original owner of the work and putting it into the image of his work. This watermark cannot be seen clearly, but actually in the media there is encrypted data with a strong Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) method. As a result, a tool that can improve the security of media owner data by combining the AES and Steganogaphy methods in the formation of new media that cannot be changed anymore. So, when the media is stolen and used by others and has been edited, the owner's personal data can never be changed.

Social influences and ‘new media’ may contribute to students participating in risky health be-haviors. An evidence-based, digital media literacy curriculum was delivered by members of a communitysubstance abuse prevention coalition to upper elementary-aged students in a local afterschool program.Written pre-post assessments of perceived media influence on their health risk behaviors were completedby participants. Mean pre-test scores for ‘Influence of the Internet’ were significantly (p<.01) higher thanpost-test scores. Results reflect participants reporting the internet had less influence on their health choicespost-program than pre-program. Media literacy interventions can be effective when used in the afterschoolsetting.

P2P is currently the most contentious area of Interactive Digital Media on the Internet. It continues to grow in popularity at a phenomenal rate while media producers are seemingly stuck in a cycle of who needs to be prosecuted to prevent this form of piracy, and the majority feel that content should be paid for either to own or to rent with a Digital Rights Management time bomb. An alternative method of paying for the licence to download is presented by two self styled media futurists, and they conclude that it is easier for the industry to adapt to a market based on something that continues to feel like free rather than trying to enforce a model that is clearly not working at the moment and brands hundreds of millions of Internet users criminals. One proposal is that a US$5 monthly licence would produce an income of US$3 billion to the music industry. We explore how this could be extended to the digital media.

RESUMO Desde seu surgimento, as novas mídias têm sido celebradas como meio de democratização na circulação de informações. Ao superarem o que Guy Debord chamou separação do espetáculo, elas horizontalizam o fluxo da comunicação, possibilitando que o espectador seja também produtor. Nesse sentido, a internet romperia também com o monopólio da denúncia, tornando-se essa uma das principais funções das mídias sociais digitais. Contudo, e não obstante a multiplicação e a velocidade de circulação de imagens que apontam para a barbárie, não se pode afirmar que surtam o efeito visado de, entre outras coisas, sensibilizar para aquilo o que se denuncia. Aliás, pelo contrário. O presente trabalho busca refletir, a partir das transformações estruturais que conferem forma às novas mídias, a relação paradoxal entre denúncia e indiferença. Palavras-chave: Internet; Indiferença; Guy Debord; Espetáculo; Capitalismo Flexível. ABSTRACT Since its inception, the new media have been celebrated as a way of democratizing the circulation of information. In overcoming what Guy Debord denominated separation of the spectacle, they horizontalize the flow of communication, allowing the spectator to be also a producer. In this sense, the internet would also break the monopoly of the denouncement, turning denunciation into one of the main functions of the social digital media. However – and despite the speed of the proliferation and circulation of images that show barbarism –, one cannot state that they achieve the intended effect which is, among other things, to raise awareness of what is denounced. Actually,  it's  quite the opposite. This paper seeks to reflect, from the structural changes that give shape to the new media, the paradoxical relationship between complaint and indifference. Keywords: Internet; Indifference; Guy Debord; Spectacle; Flexible Capitalism.

Freedom of the press after the 1998 reform had an impact on increasing the number of mass media in Indonesia. Coupled with the presence of the internet as new media, making media competition increasingly complex. Faced with this phenomenon a number of media began to try to unite information technology, communication and content which is referred to as media convergence. This research is a qualitative research. Research data collection is done by observation, interview and documentation. This research concludes that Radar Jogja implements the concept of continuum convergence. Radar Jogja has carried out four stages of continuum convergence namely cross promotion, cloning, coopetition, and content sharing. While the form of Radar Jogja's media convergence implementation in the face of media competition, is identified as follows (1) optimization of new media, Radar Jogja has succeeded in becoming a technology-literate media as evidenced by its activity on various media platforms. (2) The issue selection strategy, Radar Jogja is able to raise national issues which are then localized according to the conditions on the field. (3) bandling advertising, a strategy to get clients by providing a variety of advertising service choices. (4) coordination, build a solid team and work together to increase loyalty to the company.

Media culture as the phenomenon occurred simultaneously with media appearance. However, scientists have started talking about the necessity to study media culture in society and its formation only in the late XX century. Media culture obtains the special priority position under conditions of the information society. It is promoted by the accelerated development of communication and digital technologies, the rapid growth in volume, richness and multiformat media consumption by contemporaries. Changes of the technocratic world should be accompanied with development of new media skills and preferences of the individual and society: understanding media flows, analyzing and evaluating information, engaging in dialogue with the media, do not let them manipulate you. The media culture should be the main factor of individuals’ socialization in the information society. The term «media culture» is based on two fundamental concepts, which are «media» and «culture», with many interpretations each. Therefore, the definition of the term remains ambiguous. Media culture is studied in the framework of technological, personal, creative and informational approaches. The determining factor in understanding media culture, in our opinion, becomes an interactive approach that makes possible and effective intercultural dialogue through a global network of communications. The opportunity and focus for dialogue is becoming a key characteristic of media culture. The interaction, mutual relation and correlation of media and book cultures should be considered in the framework of the dialogue approach. The interactive nature of the media culture allows us to hope for preserving and reproducing bookishness in the conditions of the digital media revolution, for its further integration into the new communication environment.

Howard Rheingold, professor and expert in cultural, social and new digital media fields, who coined the term ‘Virtual Community’, starts this dialogue by defining the complex meaning encompassed in another expression that lends its name to one of his books: “Smart Mobs”. He goes on to explain why the terms ‘artificial intelligence’ (AI) and ‘intelligent machines’ are being used wrongly, and describes how collective intelligences emerge from ‘smart mobs’. Later he reflects on why radio has not killed off movies, movies haven’t put an end to theatre, television will not kill off movies, and the Internet will not be the end of television; in other words, new media do not ‘do away with’ any of their predecessors. He then argues why poetry and business are not mutually exclusive, before finishing with an explanation of why there are more people, in more places, who are able to do things they never used do with personal computers, and they do them almost exclusively with a smartphone with a ubiquitous connection (anywhere, anytime) to the Internet.
