Alongside international internet governance bodies such as ICANN, new models for governance of digital communications platforms have emerged in recent years including the European Commission’s Code of Conduct on Countering Illegal Hate Speech and the Facebook Oversight Board. However, at the moment, there is an absence of a single international standard-setting body for digital communications or a unified framework for governing digital public goods. Competition and contests over issues like privacy, data colonialism, cybersecurity, and access to internet infrastructure have exacerbated trade, economic and political tensions, and have also significantly affected transborder and transcultural communication flows. This one-day hybrid preconference aims to explore policy and governance strategies emerging from the development and use of digital communications technologies and their impacts on transcultural communications, with a focus on the themes of neo-globalization, digitalisation, and platformisation. It seeks to address some fundamental questions that may help in strengthening digital governance approaches and facilitating safe, productive, and inclusive transcultural communications: What are the critical contests around digital governance of transnational and transcultural communications platforms? How do they exemplify differences in values and ethics between key stakeholders? What are the crucial components of digital governance strategies, and how are these evolving in light of platformisation? How can existing institutional, and largely national, models of communications governance adapt to this new context? To what extent are new, international models of governance addressing transcultural communications? What are the best practice examples of new digital governance modalities working in the public interest? How might these benefit public institutions, such as public service media Schedule of the conference 8:15-8:30 am (Beijing time); 00:15- 00:30 am (UTC) Opening Hosts of IAMCR 2022 Conference Professor Hongzhong Zhang, Dean, School of Journalism and Communication, Beijing Normal University Prof. Fiona Martin & Prof. Anis Rahman, Co-Chairs, IAMCR Public Service Media Policies Working Group 8:30-9:00 am (Beijing time); 00:30 – 01:00 am (UTC) Keynote Speech Professor Ang Peng Hwa Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 9:00 am - 10:50 am (Beijing Time); 01:00 – 02:50 am (UTC) Panel 1: Governance strategies for safe, inclusive digital transcultural communications Moderator: Professor Ming Zhou, Beijing Normal University Speakers: Dr. Baasanjav, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, USA Professor Jinghong Xu, Beijing Normal University, China Furui Wang, Zhejiang University, China Dr. Anthony Löwstedt, Webster Vienna Private University, Austria Open Discussion 11:00 am to 12:50 pm (Beijing Time); 03:00 – 04:50 am (UTC) Panel 2: Governance of digital communications market access, standards and structures Moderator: Dr. Rui Wang, Beijing Normal University Speakers: Dr. He Qing, Beijing Post Communication University and Dr. Yik-Chan Chin, Beijing Normal University, China Professor Tao Li, Beijing Normal University, China Dr. Swati Jaywant Rao Bute, Jagran Lakecity University, Bhopal - India Dr Niels ten Oever - University of Amsterdam, Netherland Open Discussion 14:00 pm - 15:50 pm (Beijing Time); 06:00-07:50 am (UTC) Panel 3: Digital governance of the AI Moderator: Dr. Qian Li, Beijing Normal University Speakers: José Alarcón, Universidad de Educación a Distancia, Spain Mennatullah Hendawy, TU Berlin, Germany Dr. Fei Shen, City University of Hong Kong, China Prof. Ye Wu, Beijing Normal University, China Prof. Xiaofan Liu, City University of Hong Kong, China Open Discussion 16:00 pm - 17:50 pm (Beijing time); 08:00 – 09:50 am (UTC) Panel 4: Digital Governance and Public Service Media in an Age of Platformisation Moderator: Prof. Fiona Martin, Sydney University, Australia Speakers: 1.

ECREA Pre-conference on ‘Algorithmic Antagonisms' CfP Extended to 27 June
by Luke H 17 Jun '22

17 Jun '22

Dear Colleagues, A brief reminder that our call for submissions for the ECREA pre-conference on ‘Algorithmic Antagonisms: Towards agonistic dialogues” remains open! The pre-conference will take place on 18 October (full-day). The event will be hybrid, with some participants at Aarhus University’s campus and others participating online. We will warmly accept abstracts for an extra week, until June 27 23.59 CEST This symposium gathers activists, artists, and academics who are antagonising society with algorithms. The focus here on algorithmic antagonisms is not meant to only comment on being oppressed by algorithms, or resisting their power, but show what happens when energy is put into leveraging a tactical algorithmic politics within societies that are increasingly algorithmically governed. Together, we will explore and reflect on algorithms’ antagonistic and tactical uses as part of the larger normative project of critical data/algorithm studies.

Searching for scales and questionnaires to measure photography skills/knowledge
by Nitin Verma 15 Jun '22

15 Jun '22

Hello everyone! I'm a Ph.D. student at the UT Austin iSchool, and I'm currently finalizing a recruitment instrument for my dissertation study on the public perception of deepfake technology, and I'm looking to sample from among the general public. To address my research questions I need to ask potential participants about their photography/videography skills and technical knowledge about it. I have been unable to find any validated scales or questionnaires that measure this technical knowledge. So, I have drafted a questionnaire that consists of items that ask about participants' familiarity with concepts like exposure, focal length, depth of field, frame rate, camera types, familiarity with post-processing tools like Photoshop and Lightroom, etc. However, without any way to establish the validity and coverage of my questionnaire, I am a little hesitant to move forward with the design of my survey. Could you all please share resources that can help me develop a reliable questionnaire on people's technical (or general) knowledge of photography and videography (and perhaps, graphic design)? Thank you! Best, Nitin Verma Ph.D. Student, School of Information, The University of Texas at Austin
