The era of omni media is arriving, due to the rise in popularity of short video platforms such as Tik Tok and Kwai. When audiences’ interests are constantly changing, documentary production is bringing in a new possibility for reform. This article uses the documentary “At thirty, a man should be independent” as an example to discuss transition thinking and effective development methods in the new media culture, with the aim of contributing to the transformation of promotion channels and innovation of new era documentaries.

Given that short videos have attractedextensive attention of the public, the rise of governmental short videos makes governmental new media more interactive and responsive. However, the competition of short video market is fierce. A considerable number of government agencies and public institutions lack operating experience on short video accounts. The overall influence of these short video accounts is weak, and a mechanism of short video production is necessary. From the perspective that a new era is expected to fulfill people’s wish for a good life, we suggest combining people’s wish for a good life and governmental short videos. One the one hand, this approach identifies the audience clearly and thus benefits the production of high-quality short videos; on the other hand, it helps to attract more audience and thus meets the people’s needs for a good life in the new era. Governmental short video production should focus on three aspects: sense of fulfillment, sense of happiness, and sense of safety.Production guarantee should focus on contents, platforms, and dissemination motivations.

As a means of disseminating information, a new era of media does not always have a positive impact on the purpose of da’wah. The new era’s media actually raises the birth of da’wah that is extreme, radical and far from the meaning of Islam as a religion of peace. Very few da’wah actors and activists have integrated prophetic ethics and values in the new media era. They use many utterances of hatred (hatespeech) and lies (hoaxes) to preach. This phenomenon is very inversely proportional to the teachings of friendly and peaceful Islam as did the Prophet Muhammad. Therefore, grounding prophetic-based tabligh activities is very urgent in the new media era.

Departing from an analysis of Mark Z. Danielewski’s serial novel The Familiar, the article investigates how contemporary literature at once imitates and resists the serial logics of modern media culture. Thus, focusing especially on the aspects of transmediality and participatory culture, I point out how Danielewski’s work adapts the narrative structure as well as the modes of promotion and reception that characterize e.g. modern television series while also positioning itself in contrast to new media culture and emphasizing the ‘literariness’ of the literary series.

Last decade has brought several advanced technologies for journalists. This in turn brought in a new era of revolutionary concepts of journalism. One among those concepts is citizen journalism. Citizen journalism is a concept in media that refers to journalistic activities of ordinary people. It means citizens themselves report the issues confronting them. Although the practice of citizen journalism existed even centuries before, it is the new media only that have accelerated its pace in contemporary times. The proposed chapter, ‘Citizen Journalism: News Gathering by Amateurs', presents a detailed description of various aspects of citizen journalism, including its concept, parameters, significance, limitations and types. It provides a detailed history and evolution of citizen journalism. It reveals that citizen journalism has a history older than professional journalism. The chapter also draws a comparison between citizen journalism and mainstream journalism. Moreover, it presents status of citizen journalism in India and Indian-administered Kashmir.

This article focuses on representations of the yoga body on social media, explaining what the female body in an asana pose stands for in consideration of the dichotomy between Foucault’s docile body controlled by the technology of power and Anita Seppä’s “aestheticization of the subject” as a means of resistance. While socio-technological changes have introduced a new context in the modern era, the dominance of seeing and visual culture has remained central in late-modern society. Through social media, we have entered a new era of constructing self-identity in relation to gender and the body. Looking into the relationship between asana practice and self-identity in postural yoga, I investigate the imaged bodies of yoginis that function under the control of power and as a technique for self-actualization. Drawing from a visual analysis of Instagram posts and interpreting the bodily practices of yoginis, I will search for what happened to modernity’s docile body in the context of this new media.

In many short video platforms around the world using MCN mode as the main expansion of the video distribution, ranging from the Tik Tok, Youtube to other, “Yitiao" is completely with the PGC mode. The production content, the positioning of the audience as the middle class, the launching of original short videos, and the unique aesthetic content and accurate audience positioning, have revolutionalized the short video industry. With the use of innovative business model, “Yitiao” brings the content and interconnected new media features into the commercial e-commerce field, and combines innovation with offline cultural output. The problems arising from this, such as the lack of strong technical support, and the commercialized and countered core content are not negligible, and they may affect the vitality of monetizing content e-commerce.
