Abstract YouTube represents an increasingly popular cultural phenomenon in the contemporary Norwegian media landscape. Since the inception of the digital video platform over 15 years ago, personal videoblogging has emerged as one of its dominant types of user-generated content. In this article, I draw from New Rhetoric genre theory and netnographic approaches to explore the beauty and lifestyle sphere on YouTube, in which several emergent genres are situated within a new media ecosystem. Through a qualitative content analysis of seven established Norwegian YouTube channels, a total of 17 individual genres were identified. Furthermore, I elaborate upon how informational, instructional, and confessional communicative functions are utilised in audiovisual publications through conventionalised digital media production practices.

There is no understanding Donald Trump without reference to the contemporary hybrid media system. His improbable victories in the Republican primary and 2016 general election were premised on radical departures from how electoral campaigns use communications media to engage journalists, supporters, and opponents. Once in office, Trump has continued to employ new approaches to presidential communications. For the Resistance, countering Trump required tactical and strategic innovations in the media realm. This chapter discusses how both Trump and the Resistance are deploying innovative new media strategies. It explores how Resistance groups are leveraging digital media to expand the reach of their protest tactics, using social media to undermine funding of partisan conservative media organizations, and building their own new media institutions to compete against the conservative media ecosystem.

Audio Data

Radio is evolving in a changing digital media ecosystem. Audio-on-demand has shaped the landscape of big unstructured audio data available online. In this paper, a framework for knowledge extraction is introduced, to improve discoverability and enrichment of the provided content. A web application for live radio production and streaming is developed. The application offers typical live mixing and broadcasting functionality, while performing real-time annotation as a background process by logging user operation events. For the needs of a typical radio station, a supervised speaker classification model is trained for the recognition of 24 known speakers. The model is based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture. Since not all speakers are known in radio shows, a CNN-based speaker diarization method is also proposed. The trained model is used for the extraction of fixed-size identity d-vectors. Several clustering algorithms are evaluated, having the d-vectors as input. The supervised speaker recognition model for 24 speakers scores an accuracy of 88.34%, while unsupervised speaker diarization scores a maximum accuracy of 87.22%, as tested on an audio file with speech segments from three unknown speakers. The results are considered encouraging regarding the applicability of the proposed methodology.

How and why do people still get print newspapers in an era dominated by mobile and social media communication? In this article, we answer this question about the permanence of traditional media in a digital media ecosystem by analyzing 488 semi-structured interviews conducted in Argentina, Finland, Israel, Japan, and the United States. We focus on three mechanisms of media reception: access, sociality, and ritualization. Our findings show that these mechanisms are decisively shaped by patterns of everyday life that are not captured by the scholarly foci on either content- or technology-influences on media use. Thus, we argue that a non-media centric approach improves descriptive fit and adds heuristic power by bringing a wider lens into crucial mechanisms of media reception in ways that expand the conceptual toolkit that scholars can utilize to analyze the role of media in everyday life.

This article offers an overview and evaluation of Ireland’s changing media landscape through the prism of the recent policy contestation surrounding the future use of the UHF spectrum and its implications for the medium of television broadcasting. The article brings into focus current policy and governance developments and their interplay with market and technological change and how they are shaping a small open European state’s adaptation to the increasingly complex national/global hybrid media ecosystem. It examines the contexts surrounding the competition for spectrum resources and its implications for the role of free-to-air broadcasting and mobile broadband technologies in the future delivery of media and communication services. It takes a political economy and institutionalist perspective to evaluate the extent to which the evolution of the Irish institutional framework regarding broadcasting and broadband development and the allocation of spectrum frequencies is shaped by broader political economic and political/institutional dynamics and what this means for the remediation of broadcasting within the evolving digital media ecology.

Women’s online magazines have been constantly proliferating and increasingly supplanting print publications. Contributing to their success, these sites offer similar content free of change and significantly greater opportunities for interaction – often in the form of discussion forums. However, these interactive spaces are currently disappearing, being replaced by an ever-escalating emphasis upon social network sites (SNSs). This article critically examines this changing model of reader interaction in women’s online magazines, drawing on a study of 68 interviews with industry insiders, forum user-generated content, and a variety of trade material. The analysis demonstrates how the decision to close the forums and embrace SNSs responds to multiple determinants, including a corporate doctrine of control over users’ discourse and outsourcing new modalities of free consumer labour, constituting a new ideal worker-commodity online: “the shareaholic”. This exercise of power has varying levels of success, and potentialities remain for users to exercise some transformative subversion, for example through what the article theorises as “labour of disruption”. Nonetheless, the emergent SNS-based magazine model of reader interaction poses a serious challenge to ongoing celebrations both in the industry and in some scholarly work about an increasingly democratic and user-led digital media ecosystem.
