Special Relevance

The incorporation of digital sources from online social media into historical research brings great opportunities, although it is not without technological challenges. The huge amount of information that can be obtained from these platforms obliges us to resort to the use of quantitative methodologies in which algorithms have special relevance, especially regarding network analysis and data mining. The Recovery of Historical Memory in Spain on the social network Twitter will be analysed in this article. An open-code tool called T-Hoarder was used; it is based on objectivity, transparency and knowledge-sharing. It has been in use since 2012.

The Relationship

Digitalisation and the emergence of online media in particular have led to intense debates about its effects on what is now often called “traditional media” including broadcast media such as radio. Our paper investigates how radio stations’ expansion into online space has transformed radio production. Focusing on the relationship between station and listeners, it discusses the social media practices of radio producers and explores whether these new digital tools contribute to a shift towards a more participatory production culture. The paper draws on data from a multi-method case study investigation of local British radio stations that combined programme analysis, expert interviews and web analysis. The study highlighted a shared belief among producers in the importance and value of social media for achieving audience loyalty and engagement. Nevertheless –not least due to a lack of additional resources –their use of social media is mainly an extension of traditional journalistic and promotional tech niques. Its potential for listener involvement in the production process is not met and exchanges with the audiences remain in the digital realm without impact on the on-air listener experience.

This paper details a reputational threat to an American academic library where a viral social media post and associated negative comments misrepresented the institution and brand’s values. Immediately, the marketing librarian responsible for social media responded to the threat by engaging directly with the library consumers, sharing content and information with the broader online community, and reinforcing the library’s values and commitment to consumers. While the resolution to the crisis was mostly favourable, the event was unanticipated and invited a keen learning opportunity that is documented in this case study. Reflections and takeaways from this incident are discussed in the context of emerging literature on crisis communication, reputation threats, and social media.

This study explored the user-generated translation activity in the context of the Chinese online social media. It focused on Bilibili content creators dedicated to translating public comments on China-related videos posted on international social media platforms such as YouTube, and creating videos featuring Chinese translated comments. Viewing their translation actions as events in a collective activity system, the authors collected data from 30 participants through a questionnaire and follow-up interviews with two participants who have recently worked on videos about China’s fight against Covid-19. All the data were analysed by using Engeström’s activity theory model to create an activity model showing how their user-generated translation activity was conducted. In this study, we observed that the participants, as the non-professional translation community on the Chinese online social media, were breaking down linguistic borders for fans and viewers, and postulated the possible interaction between the user-generated translation work and their better understanding of how the world saw China through grassroots expression of opinions.
