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.

In Chapter 4, data collected through ethnographic research and structured interviews are used to argue that new media tools when used, can profoundly alter social and political practices in Kuwait. Internet use removes inhibitions, gives the public a voice, encourages people to demand access to current, transparent news and information, and enables citizens to become more engaged and active in the world. In the words of one 55 year old female Kuwaiti participant, the Internet “opens the eyes of the younger generation and because of this, they find more freedom to exercise and they can compare freedom in their countries to that in other countries” (Interview, July 2009, Kuwait City). Explanations for the increasingly volatile political and social environment in Kuwait are explored in light of new media use. The persistence of patriarchy in spite of enhanced civic engagement reveals the puzzling nature of oppositional compliance in the emirate.

Online journalism has evolved since nearly the last two decades to produce a variety of journalistic products that combine the culture of print journalism and new media technology. This research investigates the evolutionary trends in searching and presenting online news in Indonesia by considering the dynamics of convergence caused by the presence of the internet. Online journalism in Indonesia presents various models of presenting news by utilizing the web or website or pages and social media. The development of online journalism in Indonesia is not only demonstrated through the presence of news sites, but also the existence of feed reader pages or news aggregators. This change in online journalism practices in Indonesia poses challenges for lecturers who teach journalism specifically and communication science in general. This study aims to explain the concept of online journalism that applies in Indonesia. In this study, researchers will gather previous studies on online journalism in Indonesia to then describe the problems that arise in online journalism in Indonesia, the methods used to examine them, and data collection techniques. Researchers hope this research will be the initial stage of research on online journalism in Indonesia so that later there will be teaching modules for students of communication science in general and journalism in particular.

With the innovation and development of network technology, people’s various needs are gradually increasing. Among various multimedia, music has different characteristics from other forms of multimedia. Music can contain many human emotions, and humans can express some shallow and deep emotions through music. Therefore, the study of music emotion in the context of the Internet is an area where the public is relatively concerned. In the context of new media on the Internet, based on the current music emotion model, this paper establishes a different music emotion model from the past through clear research and analysis. From music characteristics, some relative vector quantities are extracted to build samples, and the samples are screened on the basis of network media technology to build a musical emotion model. The experimental simulation results show that the music emotion model based on the blockchain network environment established in this paper has high applicability and efficiency.

During the past decades media technologies for producing and consuming popular music have gone through major changes. The digitalization of older media and so-called new media has transformed the landscape for music use. Technological developments in radio, television, the internet, computers, mobile phones and mp3 players shape the ways in which popular music is consumed today. This article examines two intersecting aspects of how today's media landscapes are interwoven into and shape teenage girls' uses of popular music. First, it argues that media technologies shape the girls' uses of music in the context of their everyday lives and the spaces they inhabit. Second, media technologies take part in the girls' practices of gender. For example, through their relations with their brothers and new media technology in the home, the girls are negotiating how to be 'girls', 'daughters' and 'sisters'.

Although newly developing technologies contribute positively to human life, many studies have shown that it has some health risks. The widespread use of computers and mobile devices, in particular, have allowed the internet to be accessible by almost everyone and thus exposes them to health problems resulting from internet use. The aims of this study are to investigate negative health problems associated with internet use, the impact of new media tools on the health of individuals, to understand cyberchondria and to present solutions to reduce its effects. Furthermore, it was aimed to assess the status of cyberchondria and related factors as well health literacy in individuals using the internet to determine the necessary treatment options for cyberchondria, to clarify the conceptual status of cyberchondria for future research, and to develop evidence-based approaches. Findings indicate that when considering the relationship between health literacy and cyberchondria, the effect of health literacy in reducing cyberchondria was found to be effective.

Background: Previous studies have shown that suicide-related Internet use can have both negative and positive psychological effects. Aims: This study examined the effect of suicide-related Internet use on users’ suicidal ideation, depression/anxiety tendency, and loneliness. Method: A two-wave panel study of 850 Internet users was conducted via the Internet. Results: Suicide-related Internet use (e.g., browsing websites about suicide methods) had negative effects on suicidal ideation and depression/anxiety tendency. No forms of suicide-related Internet use, even those that would generally be considered positive, were found to decrease users’ suicidal ideation. In addition, our results suggest that the greater the suicidal ideation and feelings of depression and loneliness of Internet users, the more they used the Internet. Conclusion: Since suicide-related Internet use can adversely influence the mental health of young adults, it is necessary to take measures to reduce their exposure to such information.
