Media is an electronic circle that can create spaces for deliberation, interaction, or participation. However, media in the global age is also constructed with the effects of liberal economy that create large companies’ hegemony in media. This economic circumstance creates blocks in media and prevents participation and deliberation of people. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that new media technologies can provide solutions for the problems of mass media in terms of creating rooms for active citizen participation, by providing the outlets for public to participate in. Minority groups have taken advantages of new media technology and have created Web pages to promote their interests and agenda. Turkey is an important example of this phenomenon since several minority groups have created such Web pages. One such group is the Turkish Greeks; by analyzing their Web page, istanbulrumazinligi.com, this study aims to understand their online public sphere, e-democracy, and e-deliberation.

To provide a framework for the discussion and in order to further understand the rapid growth and proliferation of social media on the political campaigning landscape, a comparison is made with the 2004 American presidential election campaign. This, it is posited, will assist us understand the drivers of new media technologies especially as they are used to create and impact positively on the growth of political super brands.

This article discussed radio broadcasting technology in general and how the industry is relatively resilient amid the development of other media technologies today, such as the Internet. Internet technology is able to present number of social networks through social media that are interactive, direct, and user generated. In addition, the Internet forces conventional broadcasting industries such as radio to penetrate digital mechanisms by practicing radio streaming. Radio broadcasting also add this type of interaction to their listeners, for example through websites, blogs, vlogs (video blogs), Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook accounts. This integrated conventional media technology and new media is often called media convergence. By using qualitative approach and descriptive method, this paper explained a case of media convergence by one of the radio broadcast station in Indonesia that is Delta FM. As a result, Delta FM presents its broadcasts with the help of new media in order to survive in the broadcasting industry amid the current widespread use of new media.

Watching Tv

If we talk about television as mass media, what is meant by watching TV is watching programs that are broadcast by television stations. It's just that, seeing the arrival and influence of new media technology at this time, making many functions of the mass media that began to be seized by new media. This research was conducted to see how the process of transformation of functions and consumption of television and Youtube media is carried out by the people of Padang City. In order to examine the changes in this communication media, of course data is needed on how the actual process takes place in the field. To examine the problem, this study uses MediaMorphosis Theory. The study was designed using a quantitative and qualitative mixed approach that was shaded by a post-positiveist paradigm. The quantitative approach is carried out through an explanatory research survey research design to find out the situation or condition that occurs and the factors influencing it. While the qualitative approach is used to explain the variables studied in more detail. The results revealed that the majority of respondents are more concerned with the content presented than the media platform used. The platform only functions as a tool that makes it easy for them to access the content they want, without them really caring about the conceptual differences from the available media choices.

 ‘New’ technologies have disrupted the creative process of arts and media production, but no common professional practice seems to have drastically changed. ‘New' is only a trick, a temporary euphoria indicating that creative arts and media are on its way to the utopian future. Currently, creative arts and media practitioners are influenced by the dynamically developing technologies and the big issue is that they accepted every innovational media technology unknowingly, everything is normal, but every changes lead to a new normal.  The purpose of this paper is to discover the new creative production process that influenced by new technologies. In the process of discovery, this paper uses a Practice-based Research methodology by Estelle Barrett to acknowledge the capability of these media technologies by utilising creative practices. All findings in this research are discovered by experimenting on contemporary audio visual and interactive technologies. The result of this journal is a guideline for preparing new media production.

The emergence, spread, and transformation of media technologies in North Africa has attracted much attention over the past decade. Yet the disruptive effects of technological mass media have been a defining feature of North African modernity from the mid-19th century to the present. Classically distinguished from pre-modern oral and scribal transmissions by “technological reproducibility,” mass media offer capacities both for simultaneous collective address (i.e., broadcast), and for nearly limitless copying (i.e., reproduction) and re-transmission (i.e., sharing). As such, dramatic expansions in mass media, from print journals, or “the press,” to electronic broadcast media of radio and television, small media of audio and video cassettes, and Internet-based and mobile digital media, have sustained modern North African political movements and mass publics, from anticolonial nationalism to postcolonial nation-state building and the 21st-century Arab Spring. Any understanding of contemporary mass media, including digital media, in North Africa must consider how these current media movements reprise and transform earlier forms of political consciousness, community, and protest grounded in a century of new media.

Participatory e-planning research and practice has focused on the institutional context of citizen participation in urban planning. Thus, it has mostly addressed the use and development of tools that support modes of participation compatible with the existing urban planning or governance processes. The author argues that another type of participation exists, which is also relevant to the development of participatory e-planning. This type of participation emerges from the practices associated with the creation and sharing of digital content, which are afforded by new media technologies. This article defines participatory e-planning as the site of active stakeholder involvement, not only in the traditional collaborative urban planning activities, but also in the co-production and sharing of media content, as well as in the configuration of the supporting technologies. By examining three cases of participatory e-planning in Helsinki, the author answers the following questions: What kinds of activities associated with the creation and sharing of digital media content take place in the context of participatory e-planning? What are the consequences of these activities for urban planning processes? What are the consequences of these activities for the technological development for participatory e-planning?

New Media Technologies

This article aims to provide a broad survey of the intimate relations between media and Christianity in contemporary Asia by taking into account two overlapping strands of scholarship, one of technology and society, the other of religion and the media. Particular attention is given to how the invention of new media technologies causes important shifts in the ways people practice their faith and how Christian communities are formed in Asia. With the trend towards media convergence resulting in the blurring of the distinction between the ‘old’ and ‘new’ media and with people's differential access to forms of media in Asia, the article argues that an effort to achieve a more nuanced understanding of the interaction between media and Christianity in Asia has to examine how people's particular social, economic and political locations crucially influence their interpretations of various mediated Christian texts and their experiences of Christianity. Furthermore, the theological positions that Christian communities in Asia have toward diverse forms of media technology and the extent to which new media technologies are integrated into people's daily life shape the ways Christianity is practiced in different parts of Asia and the ways in which the actual contours of Christian religious boundaries are drawn.
