Abstract The growth of the Internet over the past four years provides the failure analyst with a new media for communicating his results. The new digital media offers significant advantages over analog publication of results. Digital production, distribution and storage of failure analysis results reduces copying costs and paper storage, and enhances the ability to search through old analyses. When published digitally, results reach the customer within minutes of finishing the report. Furthermore, images on the computer screen can be of significantly higher quality than images reproduced on paper. The advantages of the digital medium come at a price, however. Research has shown that employees can become less productive when replacing their analog methodologies with digital methodologies. Today's feature-filled software encourages "futzing," one cause of the productivity reduction. In addition, the quality of the images and ability to search the text can be compromised if the software or the analyst does not understand this digital medium. This paper describes a system that offers complete digital production, distribution and storage of failure analysis reports on the Internet. By design, this system reduces the futzing factor, enhances the ability to search the reports, and optimizes images for display on computer monitors. Because photographic images are so important to failure analysis, some digital image optimization theory is reviewed.

The spread of digital media on the internet was very broad, fast, and cannot be monitored in a structured manner about what media has been uploaded and distributed on the internet network. The spread of digital media like this was very difficult to detect whether the media that shared was privately owned or that of others that is re-shared by media theft or digital media piracy. One step to overcome the theft of digital works is to give them a watermark, which is an identity that is placed on top of the work. However, this is still considered unsafe because the identity attached can be cut and manipulated again until it is not visible. In addition, the use of Steganography method to hide messages in an image can still be manipulated by adding messages continuously so that it accumulates and damages the original owner of the image. In this article, the author provides a solution called Digital Watermarking, a step of encrypting the data of the original owner of the work and putting it into the image of his work. This watermark cannot be seen clearly, but actually in the media there is encrypted data with a strong Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) method. As a result, a tool that can improve the security of media owner data by combining the AES and Steganogaphy methods in the formation of new media that cannot be changed anymore. So, when the media is stolen and used by others and has been edited, the owner's personal data can never be changed.

Social influences and ‘new media’ may contribute to students participating in risky health be-haviors. An evidence-based, digital media literacy curriculum was delivered by members of a communitysubstance abuse prevention coalition to upper elementary-aged students in a local afterschool program.Written pre-post assessments of perceived media influence on their health risk behaviors were completedby participants. Mean pre-test scores for ‘Influence of the Internet’ were significantly (p<.01) higher thanpost-test scores. Results reflect participants reporting the internet had less influence on their health choicespost-program than pre-program. Media literacy interventions can be effective when used in the afterschoolsetting.

P2P is currently the most contentious area of Interactive Digital Media on the Internet. It continues to grow in popularity at a phenomenal rate while media producers are seemingly stuck in a cycle of who needs to be prosecuted to prevent this form of piracy, and the majority feel that content should be paid for either to own or to rent with a Digital Rights Management time bomb. An alternative method of paying for the licence to download is presented by two self styled media futurists, and they conclude that it is easier for the industry to adapt to a market based on something that continues to feel like free rather than trying to enforce a model that is clearly not working at the moment and brands hundreds of millions of Internet users criminals. One proposal is that a US$5 monthly licence would produce an income of US$3 billion to the music industry. We explore how this could be extended to the digital media.

The internet has tremendous effects to social and religious lives, including Islamic propagation (da'wah) activities. This paper aims to examine the fundamental concepts of da'wah in response to the mushrooming of cyber based-da’wah as well as adaptation to new media culture. Using a qualitative research for conceptual design, this study has found that the proliferation of cyber religious proselytizing leads the elements of da'wah have become ever-widening concepts. The concept of da’i, for instance, has experienced the reconceptualisation that not only refers to person who convey Islamic teachings through religious sermon (khutbah), but also denotes to a creative content provider for da’wah purposes in the internet. Additionally, the power of preaching in the new media lies in good, comprehensive, and argumentative messages. Similarly, redefinition of the concepts ma'du, feedback, and other da'wah elements occur as response to digital media culture.

The presence of new media (new media) based on Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) that relies on Internet connection is undeniable to change social order in the community. Thus, the existence of the conventional media became a question in the middle of the new media was presented in the social order. Based on Nielsen study in 2018, Indonesian consumers now spend an average of 5 hours every day consuming content, either through conventional media or the Internet. The research also shows that the TV viewing duration is still the highest, which is an average of 4 hours and 53 minutes per day, the duration of accessing the Internet is the second highest which is an average of 3 hours 14 minutes per day; followed by listening to Radio (2 hours 11 minutes), reading the newspaper (31 minutes) and reading the magazine (24 minutes). Beside that, the increase in Internet consumption makes dual-screen habits between digital media and conventional media becomes something common. There are at least 50 percent duplication between TV and Digital, 62 percent duplication on Radio vs Digital, while the print and Digital Media duplication reaches 72 percent. Based on the description, the convergence becomes one of the keys on mass media existence in the present era.

Spatial dislocation of migrants is a catalyst for early, heavy and informed media use (Ponzanesi & Leurs 2014); as well as a motif for transnational families to form families of choice (Beck-Gernsheim 1998; Weston 1997). This text reports on how Irish-Spanish families living in Ireland manage this situation. It argues that (digital) photographic exchanges give rise to mediated third places (Oldenburg, 1989), where (dis)affect and belonging are negotiated. Transnational families visually mediate their domestic spaces regularly. The double visual mediation of presence and space forms part of their everyday. This, in turn, outlines current developments in how (digital) photography is used to mediate actions and emotions. In accounting for and reflecting about how (dis)affective communities of place activate affordances of media, photography emerges as a multi-dimensional site of image production, distribution and storage, in short, as a practice that is both unique to the socio-cultural moment in which it is embedded, and general enough to be recognized as such across cultures and societies. Keywords: diaspora, experience of place, new media, photography, visual mediation

The aim of this chapter is to reflect about the teachers’ training in media education. This training in England is quite insufficient and almost based on the transfer of reading competencies: this means that is does not prepare the teacher to work with digital media, normally characterized by authoring activities. Starting from the experience of a master degree developed in the London Institute of Education, the chapter tries to show how many of the problems involved in this training were discussed and solved with the teachers enrolled in the master. The hypothesis presented is based on the mix between theory and practice, the creative activity of the participants, and the centrality of the role of the learner.

Abstract Background Due to social and technological developments, experiences related to relationships between people express changes, which can be observed in social media, especially in social networks and dating and sexual apps. The use of social networks is growing among people of all age groups, which facilitates the maintenance of interpersonal contact and allows some people to get to know each other digitally, in addition to assisting in the search for information about sexuality and making it possible to meet with women. loving or sexual purpose. Objective to understand the means that university students express their sexuality in digital media. Methods This is a research with a qualitative approach, based on the Theory of Social Representations. University students from Belo Horizonte participated in the study. Data collection took place through a structured questionnaire with open and closed questions made available via the internet. The data were interpreted based on the Structural Analysis of the Narration, proposed by Demazière; Dubar. Results Two theoretical categories were listed. Use of digital media for sexual and amorous encounters - university students reveal the use of apps for casual encounters, where they use photos considered sensual to get a date outside the digital medium. Use of digital media as a source of information - the research subjects say they use the internet as a source of information about sexuality, as they still consider this issue difficult to approach with parents. These students also share the acquired information and personal experiences with friends. Conclusions In the digital environment, social relations are based on a hypervisibility of personal life on social networks, where intimate, private and especially sexual and body issues are exposed. Key messages Understanding how university students express their sexuality in digital media is an important step towards promoting the health of this population group. Social media can be of great value, but it can also present risks. Thus, university students are susceptible to these two factors, especially when it comes to topics such as sexuality.

RESUMO Desde seu surgimento, as novas mídias têm sido celebradas como meio de democratização na circulação de informações. Ao superarem o que Guy Debord chamou separação do espetáculo, elas horizontalizam o fluxo da comunicação, possibilitando que o espectador seja também produtor. Nesse sentido, a internet romperia também com o monopólio da denúncia, tornando-se essa uma das principais funções das mídias sociais digitais. Contudo, e não obstante a multiplicação e a velocidade de circulação de imagens que apontam para a barbárie, não se pode afirmar que surtam o efeito visado de, entre outras coisas, sensibilizar para aquilo o que se denuncia. Aliás, pelo contrário. O presente trabalho busca refletir, a partir das transformações estruturais que conferem forma às novas mídias, a relação paradoxal entre denúncia e indiferença. Palavras-chave: Internet; Indiferença; Guy Debord; Espetáculo; Capitalismo Flexível. ABSTRACT Since its inception, the new media have been celebrated as a way of democratizing the circulation of information. In overcoming what Guy Debord denominated separation of the spectacle, they horizontalize the flow of communication, allowing the spectator to be also a producer. In this sense, the internet would also break the monopoly of the denouncement, turning denunciation into one of the main functions of the social digital media. However – and despite the speed of the proliferation and circulation of images that show barbarism –, one cannot state that they achieve the intended effect which is, among other things, to raise awareness of what is denounced. Actually,  it's  quite the opposite. This paper seeks to reflect, from the structural changes that give shape to the new media, the paradoxical relationship between complaint and indifference. Keywords: Internet; Indifference; Guy Debord; Spectacle; Flexible Capitalism.

This chapter explores the relevance of the protest song as political communication in the Internet era. Focusing on the prolific and diverse YouTube music video output of the Gezi Park protest of 2013, we explore how digital technologies and social media offer new opportunities for protest music to be produced and reach new audiences. We argue that the affordances of digital media and Internet platforms such as YouTube play a crucial part in the production, distribution and consumption of protest music. In the music videos, collected from Twitter, activists use a range of aesthetic and rhetorical tools such as various mash-up techniques to challenge mainstream media reporting on the protest, communicate solidarity, and express resistance to dominant political discourse.
