This situation is in accordance with the change of human lifestyle as the concequences of Information Communication Technology (ICT) adoption. Their tools in communicating offer more opportunies and interactive characteristics. Moreover, the use of social media applications, which one of them is blog based on web 2.0, opens possibilities for the audience to give more active roles in gathering and distributing news, just like what professional journalists do. The question now is about how the practioners of mainstream news face this phenomenon, what they should do to maintain their existence in media industry. They should not ignore the growth of virtual community as well as citizen journalism. They cannot also pretend that there is no change on their audience behavior in consuming media. On the contrary, they do need to give space to their audiences who are in transtition toward the age of information society, to participate creatively in gathering and producing information.

AbstrakPertumbuhan praktek jurnalistik saat ini menjadi tren tersendiri bagi industri media massa.Media massa telah memberdayakan masyarakat dalam membuat informasi dan sekaligusmenjadikan mereka sebagai produsen berita. Salah satu praktek jurnalistik ini disebut denganistilah jurnalisme warga (citizen journalism). Meskipun jurnalisme warga secara istilahmemang baru dikenal baru-baru ini, akan tetapi secara konsep praktik jurnalisme warga inisudah ada sejak manusia mengenal tulisan dan mengenal media sebagai saluran komunikasimassa. Citizen journalism menjadi penting karena bisa menjadi pelengkap bagi “lubang-lubang” berita yang tidak terendus oleh para wartawan profesional. Semakin terlihat jelas persaingan antara wartawan profesional dengan khalayak pembuat berita (citizen journalism)dalam kedudukannya sebagai insan media. Nyatanya, saat ini semakin banyak perusahaanmedia yang mempekerjakan jurnalis yang berstatus kontributor namun jaminan hidup bagimereka tidak jelas. Perusahaan media kerap memanfaatkan ketidakjelasan status ini, untukmengingkari hak-hak pekerja yang diatur dalam undang-undang ketenagakerjaan, engganmemberikan upah yang layak, enggan memberikan jaminan kesehatan serta tunjangan lainnyayang bisa membuat jurnalis kontributor bekerja lebih profesional. Di sisi lain, honor citizenjournalism di Indonesia justru cukup menggiurkan.Kata kunci: peran kontributor, jurnalisme warga, masyarakat informasiAbstractThe current level of journalism education is becoming a trend for the mass media industry. Mass media has empowered the public in making information and at the same time makingthem as news producers. One of these journalistic practices is called by citizen journalism.Although citizen journalism is newly known recently, but in general there are many mediathat are used as a media of communication. Citizen journalism is important because itcan be a complement to the “holes” of news unfocused by professional journalists. Moreclearly visible between journalists and newsmakers (citizen journalism) in his position as amedia person. In fact, today more and more media companies are contributor status andare still alive for them is not clear. Media companies often exploit the uncertainty of this status, to deny workers’ rights set out in labor law, to be reluctant to provide decent wages,to be reluctant to provide health and other benefits that can make contributing journalistswork more professionally. On the other hand, honor citizen journalism in Indonesia is quitetolerable.Keywords: role of contributors, citizen journalism, information society

Fibromyalgia is a chronic illness with primary symptoms of widespread pain and fatigue. Social media applications have become a recent resource allowing individuals with fibromyalgia to interact in a virtual community devoted to the illness. This study explores how such a community develops and maintains itself on Instagram and the ways it creates social capital for its users. Data are derived from Instagram posts and open-ended questionnaires completed by users living with fibromyalgia who use the application. Using content analysis and semiotic methodology, the study analyzes the diverse ways in which users shared their experiences with fibromyalgia, the management of its symptoms, and issues encountered in accessing health care systems. Instagram aids in the development of a community by facilitating intimate and supportive interactions about the illness and the creation of personalized day-to-day narratives accessible to all. Norms of trust, acceptance, and reciprocity characterize the diversity of interactions in this community.

Since the medical environment becomes more complicated nowadays, an efficient teleconsultation plays an important role for surgical emergency and medical decision making. The advances in the information communication technique during the past decade have already made the remote consulting feasible. The remote consulting must provide rapid response time, high quality radiological images and flexible cooperation platform. Based on the mobile internet device (MID) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) platform, we propose an effective teleconsultation system to improve the medical quality of service. The internet virtual community concept is also adopted to provide a convenient and rapid connection manner. The results demonstrate that it fulfills the requirements of remote consultation system.

Use Of Social Media

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The debate about boundaries in journalism amid the rise of citizen journalism, the crisis of business models in the news industry and the use of social media in the news-gathering and dissemination process, has become a central focus in the media industry and academia. There is no doubt that the digital transition is a trend. Based on the Carlson's (2015) boundaries of journalism theory and Shoemaker and Vos' (2009) levels of analysis in the gatekeeping theory, administering a cross-sectional, self-administered questionnaire, national online survey (N=1063), conducting a Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis, the study seeks to find out the relationships between socialization and perceptions of digital impact on journalism, journalists and news organizations. The findings showed news organizations' social media culture affects journalists' use of social media. Twitter interactivity mediates journalists' social media internalization and their attitude toward social media. However, this mediating effects does not apply to Facebook and other social media interactivity. The distinguishing line between reporters and editors is blurring in news organizations. Older journalists (age>40) are picking up social media as additional journalistic tools and developing a positive attitude toward them. However, there still may be a long way to go before old journalists become experts in social media.

Media Applications

Social media applications have become a vital tool for human daily communication and are widely used in the education process worldwide. Regardless of the use of social media by some instructors as a personal initiative, in Iraq, social media's use for educational purposes has been neglected. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic pushed the world to implement online teaching using varying technology applications including social media as an essential tool in the learning process. This shifted the Iraqi government’s understanding of social media's role in education to the extent that they formally recommended that the educational departments, schools, universities use social media as a formal platform to keep the education going. However, there were concerns about using social media for several factors such as internet services, information and communication technology skills of instructors and students, integrity, and quality insurance of education. This study investigated the teachers' and students’ perceptions regarding these concerns by adopting a survey method through an online questionnaire using 'google forms' (N= 2010) with responses from teachers and students of universities and high schools and parents of students of basic schools. This study revealed that less than half of the respondents were in favor of using social media in the learning process. The findings suggested that the educational level, age, and geographical hierarchies and jobs of respondents are also correlated with using social media and e-learning.   Received: 12 September 2020 / Accepted: 11 February 2021 / Published: 10 May 2021

This chapter looks at the adoption of general social media applications on usefulness for business, comparing the factors that influence adoption at work between Japan and the United States. In Japan, ease of use and usefulness for collective knowledge in general social media are predictors of usefulness for business social media, and in the United States, only usefulness for collective knowledge is a strong predictor of usefulness for business. The authors did not find behavioral intention to use social media in the workplace to be an important factor in predicting the usefulness of social media for business. The value of this research is its ability to understand the use of social media in the workplace to include how the experience of social media impacts on the expectation of usefulness for business and how the impact of ease of use differs from Japanese to the United States because of cultural, technological, and market reasons.

A small but growing body of evidence (SBS, 2004; Beckinsale & Ram, 2006) has indicated that Ethnic Minority Businesses (EMBs) have not adopted Information Communication Technology (ICT) at comparable rates to their non-EMB counterparts predominantly Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs). With EMBs accounting for almost 10% of businesses in the UK the economic impact as ICT adoption continues to further develop across mainstream markets could be highly significant. Existing UK ICT policies have also failed to engage with EMBs until the NW ICT Adoption Pilot in 2004. The current, limited body of research is fragmented, provides limited understanding and coherence on reasons of low ICT adoption and lacks exemplars upon which policy considerations may be made. Firstly, the chapter will examine and review the existing body of literature. Secondly, EMB cases that have developed ICT to a degree where they are engaging in eBusiness activity are analysed and discussed. The findings provide a number of options and guidance for EMB owners. Finally, the recommendations point to the need for improved ICT awareness, better business support provision nationally and the importance of generation and education as key drivers.

This chapter discusses fortification of policing in Nigeria leveraging information communication and technology (ICT) backbone for strategic competitive advantage. The need to embrace ICT-enhanced policing in Nigeria becomes imperative because insecurity, robbery, kidnapping, terrorism, and insurgency have taken a new dimension and have gone sophisticated as criminal elements have deployed high-tech approach such as mobile technology and internet technology for exploiting and unleashing criminal activities on the society. To reduce incessant and unpleasant proliferation of modern crime, the situation calls for the fortification of existing policing approach in Nigeria using information communication technologies. This exploratory study is an attempt at strengthening the traditional policing approach to be able to meet the insecurity challenges currently being faced and facing the society. The implication of the study is that the incidences of insecurity, terrorism, and insurgency can effectively be rendered prostrate and managed in effectively through the use and application of ICT. Notably among the proposal for an ICT-enhanced policing is the concept of virtual community policing that explores the availability of mobile devices for easy and effective crime reporting and crime control in Nigeria.
