Rising Power

The article presents the phenomenon of multimedia production through various types of inclusion and participation offered by the technological formats. The multimedia production of web pages and other cultural products has been a major channel for the democratisation of cultural production and a means for the self-expression of individuals in the public sphere. The digitalisation and growth of social media have challenged the news industry, since the latter has had to adjust its media production both to the rising power of independent publishers on the social media platforms and to the users-turned-publishers. The paper enumerates several advantages of social media activities, most notably the fact that formerly unheard groups can publish online, that social media encourage collaboration among users, etc. Social networks are a useful tool for interactive communication and user collaboration. Moreover, social media have become a powerful tool for publishers and journalists in increasing or keeping their audiences. However, since social networks typically serve interpersonal rather than professional goals, there is a risk that the communication acts performed by journalists via social networks may be misperceived. Interaction via social networks tends to be more personal, interactive, collaborative, and these characteristics are a far cry from the normative ideals of quality journalism.

The Relationship

Digital content consumption provides a new scenario for children’s relationships with brands. The objective of this research is to study the process by which children interact with social media networks and the effect on brand preference and loyalty generated by this interaction. Specifically, the objectives of this research are focused on empirically verifying the process of consumption, contribution, and creation of children in social networks, and confirm the effect they can have on the relationship between children and brands. A great amount of research has focused on adult consumers and has projected the methodology onto children. This paper will take into account the particularities of children who are one of the most important groups in the purchase decision process of many categories (travel, food, toys, technology, fashion, etc.). For this reason, a theoretical model was built and validated with a sample of boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 14. The results show that the interaction of children with digital media (social networks) has a very important effect on increasing and generating brand preferences and loyalty. Although the effect is general and is not dependent on the age of the child, a more intense effect was observed in children between the ages of 12 and 14.

Depth Interviews

Independent journalism on social media networks appears to be changing the world of journalism. Building on Bourdieu’s field theory, the present study looked at journalists’ perceptions of values expressed in their online activities as compared to traditional news values. In-depth interviews were conducted with leading journalists active on traditional and online platforms in Israel in order to better understand journalists’ perceptions of the journalistic culture on the two kinds of platforms. The study found that by strongly emphasizing autonomy, online platforms empower journalists to embrace new values, including public service and immediacy. A public service ideology has expanded into online efforts to actively promote diverse issues that are not necessarily covered by traditional media. Immediacy is now dictated by the features of social media, which force journalists to respond in real time to all events relevant to their cause. Two values in the model of journalistic culture were found to be incompatible with the features of journalists’ online operations, and the ethics and objectivity of traditional journalism have been completely replaced by the online journalists’ orientation towards promoting their personal opinions, ideologies and agendas.

In the context of competition between the traditional media among themselves and with new media, it is important to improve the methods of influence on the regional audience for the achievement of the goals and survival on media markets of federal entities of the Russian Federation. The study analyzes how effectively traditional media use all the opportunities provided by social networks, and suggests a way to improve media adaptation to new formats of interaction with regional audience. The article analyzes the approaches to the definition and distinctive characteristics of social networks in the social media system, describes the possibilities of social networks in the influence on the audience, identifies the specificity of social media impact on the regional audience in media communities. A content analysis of six media communities was carried out. An analysis of the effectiveness of their impact on the regional audience of the social network was also made. On the basis of the study, a model of effective impact on the regional audience of social networks in media communities is suggested. The model takes into account the content strategy, content list and picturing of posts, interaction with the audience, manipulation, community monetization, visual design and assessment of the community effectiveness. With the help of the proposed model of influence on the regional audience of Russian media, it is possible to improve qualitatively the indicators of the community. It is assumed that the described model will allow establishing friendly relations with the audience and increase the efficiency of achieving the commercial goals of publications through the monetization of the community. The suggested model can be used at the planning stage of creation of a new community, which is suitable for both regional publishing houses and is based on the preferences of the audience of the social network which is identified in the content analysis.

Willingness To Disclose

The youth constitutes the largest user base of social media networks. While this generation has grown up in a digitally immersed environment, they are still not immune to the dangers the online space bears. Hence, maintaining their privacy is paramount. The present article presents a theoretical contribution, that is based on a review of relevant articles. It sets out to investigate the importance adolescents attribute to online privacy, which is likely to influence their willingness to disclose data. In line with a “new privacy paradox”, information disclosure is seen as unavoidable, given the centrality of social networks to adolescents’ lives. This goes hand in hand with individual privacy management. As individuals often lack knowledge as to how to protect their privacy, it is essential to educate the youth about their possibilities, equipping them with agency and self-responsibilization. This corresponds with a teen-centric approach to privacy as proposed by the TOSS framework.

The future of journalism is being shaped by the convergence of technology and societal shifts. For indigenous language press in Africa battling to stay afloat amidst stiff competition from traditional media, the pervasive and rapidly encroaching digital transformation holds both opportunities and potential threats. Using a qualitative approach, this paper examined the implication of the shift to digital media for the future of the indigenous language newspaper in Africa and identifies opportunities for its sustainability within the framework of the theories of technological determinism and alternative media. The analysis indicates poor funding, shrinking patronage, and competition from traditional and social media as the major factors facing indigenous newspapers. It emerged that for indigenous language newspapers to thrive in the rapidly changing and technology-driven world they need to not only adapt to the digital revolution but also explore a business model that combines a futuristic outlook with a practical approach.

Purpose Through a literature review, a gap has been identified regarding the role of competition as a driver of social network (SN) usage. This study aims to design to address this gap, seeking motivators for SN usage based on how SN consumption may be related to users’ experience of competition. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of competition in social media usage. Design/methodology/approach The authors used an exploratory qualitative approach, conducting a set of focus groups with young social media users. Data was analyzed with software. Findings Two new drivers for SN use are proposed, namely, competition and collective narrative. Research limitations/implications This is an exploratory study, and it does not seek to generalize results or quantify causal relationships among variables. Practical implications This paper offers SN managers a deeper understanding of key growth drivers for these media. Social implications This research can help society understand and debate the impacts of SNs on users’ lives, providing insights into drivers of excessive usage. Originality/value This paper proposes the following two SN usage drivers yet to be described in the literature: competition and collective narrative.
