Formal Rules

Online media often create new communication situations. That is, few formal rules govern cyberspace exchanges. For this reason, participants in online forums must often develop “rules of engagement” as they interact. Research in computer-mediated communication (CMC), however, reveals certain discourse trends—particularly related to establishing one’s credibility, or ethos—emerge in these online forums. Such trends might have important implications for how to communicate in the increasingly global environment of cyberspace.

Online Identities

Scholars are increasingly engaging with their peers in synchronous and asynchronous online forums. In order to adapt to this current trend, librarians and faculty must consider the nuances of computer- mediated communication and learn to understand the potential benefits and hazards of creating online identities that may round out others’ perceptions. It can be overwhelming and confusing to determine how to best present oneself or to “create” a credible identity. Through the introduction and explanation of communication concepts and theories, this chapter discusses online credibility, or ethos, and examples of those who have successfully built online credibility.

У статті розглянуто елементи мовленнєвого коду сайтів новин, реалізовані засобами презентативності та персоналізації. Для цього використані методи аналізу та синтезу; описового, лінгвокультурного та концептуальнного аналізу тексту, моделювання, метод семантичних і прагматичних інтерпретацій, контекстне спостереження та порівняльний аналіз. Надано дефініції презентативності та персоналізації, наведено приклади з найбільш популярних новинних сайтів укрнету (Корреспондент.net, LB.ua) та рунету (РосБизнесКонсалтинг, РИА Новости). Висвітлено питання, яким чином ці риси ускладнюють розуміння текстів новин, які вони зумовлюють психологічні та нейролінгвістичні труднощі, які психолінгвістичні механізми залучено в процесі розуміння таких новинних анонсів. Зазначено, що при цьому порушується традиційний комунікативний кодекс та відбувається маніпулювання свідомістю читачів. Користувач несвідомо звертає увагу на такі тексти, мимовільно їх запам’ятовує і потім використовує як кліше або моделі у власному мовленні. У свою чергу, зміна мовленнєвої поведінки призводить до зміни способу мислення і розуміння реальності. Дослідження здійснюється в контексті теорії девіантних мовленнєвих одиниць, досягнень сучасної лінгвістики, когнітивістики, психології та нейронауки. References Akіmova, N.

Abstract The literature suggests that irony production expands in the developmental period of adolescence. We aimed to test this hypothesis by investigating two channels: face-to-face and computer-mediated communication (CMC). Corpora were collected by asking seventh and 11th graders to freely discuss some general topics (e.g., music), either face-to-face or on online forums. Results showed that 6.2% of the 11th graders’ productions were ironic utterances, compared with just 2.5% of the seventh graders’ productions, confirming the major development of irony production in adolescence. Results also showed that adolescents produced more ironic utterances in CMC than face-to-face. The analysis suggested that irony use is a strategy for increasing in-group solidarity and compensating for the distance intrinsic to CMC, as it was mostly inclusive and well-marked on forums. The present study also confirmed previous studies showing that irony is compatible with CMC.

Internet Censorship

Prior research on disagreement has mainly focused on its negative impact, suggesting that disagreement should be avoided in communication. Consequently, disagreement is rarely studied in computer-mediated communication, particularly in the Chinese context. Adopting the interactional approach, this project pioneers the investigation of disagreement strategies on online forums in Hong Kong and mainland China, in hopes of providing insights into a better understanding of disagreement in the Chinese online context and shedding light on politeness theory in intercultural communication among Chinese people. Two threads on a similar topic were selected, from which 400 comments were collected and annotated for further analysis. Our results showed that, instead of being a face-threatening act, disagreement maintained and enhanced the interlocutors’ face and advanced the communication of information within each thread. Moreover, although the distribution of the five disagreement strategies was similar in the two sites, there were notably more disagreement tokens and negative comments on the Hong Kong forum. The observed divergence has been attributed to the different degrees of collectivism–individualism in the two regions, the internet censorship in mainland China and the nature of the two forums selected, which remain to be confirmed in future studies.

The Media

Radio Suara Surabaya (SS FM) is a private broadcasting institution capable of carrying out its role as a public radio. The uniqueness of its role begins with the switch of the SS FM function which originally dominated the content with entertainment into information content. This change in the dominance of content results in a two-way broadcast format, where there is interactivity in it. This study aims to find out about the interactivity that exists between SS FM and its listeners, including the media used, the forms of interactivity, and the factors of interactivity. Computer-Mediated Communication is one of the media theories used as a knife for analysis. Through qualitative research methods, it was found that in interactivity with the listeners, SS FM has standard rules that must be adhered to together. While the elements contained in it are participation, control and activity. In addition, the interactivity media used are telephone, online media and social media. Then the form of interactivity that occurs is interactivity of content and personal interactivity. While three factors cause listeners to interact actively with SS FM, namely the need for information, the need for self-actualization, and the need for self-existence.

Search Information

This article describes about phenomenon of Filter Bubble for Millennial Generation in online media.  Nowadays, we know that people in searching information are likely to be unaware that their search has been chosen. What is most interesting is how people which are aware on how a filter bubble works but seemed to forget when they search on some information. Researchers and critics are worried because these filters isolate people from getting the information on what they want not on what they need. People might not realize that they are led to partial information blindness. This research is acknowledge their awareness on the filter bubble phenomena especially on Y generation who are believed to be a group of people that adapt fast from the analogue era to the digital era. How they search information nowadays, how bubble filters add their self-value on things and how they prevent themselves from being in a bubble. The research was conducted using a qualitative method with an ethnography virtual approach through LINE group of millennial generation. This approach was to gain more information on the virtual culture, and this case the filter bubble phenomena. Results shows that most informants were not aware on the term of ‘Filter Bubble’, but have been assuming it for quite a while. When they were more informed of this term, they realized that they should be more critical on what they read, and being literated is a significant competence in this era. Though, in addition whether or not this filter bubble could construct their identity, some denied that it didn’t have any relevation while others seemed to think that it did give some additional values on it.Keywords: Filter Bubble, Computer-mediated Communication, ethnography virtual, millennials, and self valueABSTRAKPenelitian ini menjelaskan tentang fenomena bubble filter untuk Generasi Milenial di media online. Sekarang ini, orang-orang dalam mencari informasi cenderung tidak menyadari bahwa pencarian mereka telah dipilih. Hal paling menarik adalah bagaimana orang-orang yang menyadari cara kerja bubble filter namun menjadi lupa ketika mereka mencari informasi. Para peneliti dan kritikus khawatir bubble filter ini mengisolasi orang dari mendapatkan informasi tentang apa yang mereka inginkan, bukan tentang apa yang mereka butuhkan. Orang mungkin tidak menyadari bahwa mereka dituntun pada kebutaan informasi parsial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kesadaran generasi Y terhadap fenomena bubble filter: cara mereka mencari informasi saat ini, bagaimana bubble filter menambahkan harga diri mereka pada sesuatu, dan bagaimana mereka mencegah diri mereka dari berada dalam bubble. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode etnografi virtual untuk mendapatkan lebih banyak informasi tentang budaya virtual, terutama fenomena bubble filter. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar informan tidak mengetahui istilah "Filter Bubble", namun mereka sudah mengasumsikannya cukup lama. Ketika mereka menjadi lebih tahu tentang istilah ini, mereka menyadari bahwa mereka harus lebih kritis terhadap apa yang mereka baca, dan menjadi literated adalah kompetensi yang signifikan di era sekarang ini. Selain apakah bubble filter dapat membentuk identitas mereka atau tidak, beberapa menyangkal bahwa bubble filter tidak memiliki relevansi apa pun, sementara yang lain tampaknya berpikir bahwa bubble filter memberikan beberapa nilai tambahan.Kata Kunci: Filter Bubble, computer-mediated communication, etnografi virtual, generasi milenial, nilai diri

This chapter presents a model (WebCom) for understanding and analyzing Web site-mediated communication, also referred to as Web site communication. The model combines three theoretical approaches— communication, medium, and activity theory—into one generic model that benefits from each of the approaches’ strengths. Furthermore, it is discussed and shortly demonstrated how WebCom can be used for analytical and design purposes with YouTube as an example. The chapter concludes that WebCom is able to serve as a theoretically-based model for understanding complex Web site communication situations in their entirety, and that such thoroughly approach is required for successful computer mediated communication (CMC) when communicating across cultures and contexts.
