The digital age has greatly expanded the terrain and opportunities for a range of foreign influence efforts. A growing number of countries have invested significantly in their capabilities to disseminate online propaganda and disinformation worldwide, while simultaneously establishing information dominance at home. This introductory essay provides a brief examination of terms, concepts, and examples of these efforts and concludes by reviewing how the articles of this issue of the Journal of Advanced Military Studies contribute to our understanding of political warfare and propaganda.

EU presidency will show up Romania’s peripheral status

Significance The presidency will put Romania's isolation in the spotlight. It has no backers in the EU prepared to overlook its escalating retreat from democratic and reform commitments, and there is no sign that the United States is prepared to act as a counterweight. Impacts Romania is ill-prepared for the presidency while political warfare at home will absorb government energies. It is likely that real decision-making will reside in Brussels with Romania having no more than a ceremonial role. Dragnea’s hostility to Brussels makes a tough EU response likely in response to more creeping authoritarianism.

Fifty-three-year-old guitarist Michael is the figurative flag-bearer of learning anew in the digital age. Despite decades of experience making multitrack recordings at home and professionally, Michael found himself in unfamiliar territory when first encountering the DAW Ableton Live. Leaning on skeuomorphic design cues and refusing to be bound by the learning approaches that characterize “digital immigrants,” Michael clicked his way through frustration to discover the din of his dreams. Without the aid of a teacher in any sense of the word, Michael matter-of-factly summarized his learning approach: “I didn’t have anybody tutoring me and I didn’t have any help files, so I just had to figure it out for myself.” His music-making processes exemplify how the quest for a specific sound (timbre) is foundational in DIY home recording.

This chapter presents evidence on the access to the Internet for Australian children aged 5-15 years at a small area level, based mainly on the 2006 census data. It shows that there are areas of Australia, particularly in regional Australia, that have relatively low proportions of children who have access to the Internet at home. The geographical distribution of these areas is correlated with risk of social exclusion as measured by Child Social Exclusion Index. There was also a positive correlation between the proportion of children in an area with access to the Internet at home and average educational outcomes. The chapter concludes that there is some evidence of a digital divide for Australian children based on location of residence and socio-economic factors, which may have significant implications for children's ability to participate in society both now and in the future, and this requires further research.

This is the introductory essay in the "I/S: A Journal of Law and Policy for the Information Society" symposium on the future of online journalism available at http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/students/groups/is/archives/volume-83/. It argues that, notwithstanding the innovative journalism practices enabled by digital technologies, market-driven online enterprises alone will prove insufficient to provide local communities the accountability journalism they need in order for democracy to thrive.

This study attempted to maximize environmental language learning for four hearing-impaired children. The children's mothers were systematically trained to present specific language symbols to their children at home. An increase in meaningful use of these words was observed during therapy sessions. In addition, as the mothers began to generalize the language exposure strategies, an increase was observed in the children's use of words not specifically identified by the clinician as targets.
