Pooley wins of 2017 James Carey Award
by Mark D. Johns 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- June 28, 2017 Pooley wins of 2017 James Carey Award IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Dr. Jefferson Pooley, associate professor and chair of media and communication at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, is the winner of the 2017 James W. Carey Media Research Award competition sponsored by the Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research ( www.cccsir.com) Pooley is the author of the book, James W. Carey and Communication Research: Reputation at the University’s Margins, published in 2016 by Peter Lang. The Carey Award, established in 2004, is presented annually from among nominated or submitted books or journal articles published in the previous year. The award honors the late Dr. James W. Carey (1934-2006). Dr. Carey was recognized as one of the North American pioneers in applying cultural approaches to the study of mass media. To be worthy of the award, the work must be of highest quality and employ Carey's theories to focus on communication and public life, journalism, or popular culture. The winning entry this year was chosen from an exceptionally strong field of works submitted by a long list of outstanding scholars. As the book cover notes, "Pooley provides a critical introduction to Carey’s work, tracing the evolution of his media theorizing from his graduate school years through to the publication in 1989, of his landmark Communication as Culture. The book is an attempt to understand the unusual if also undeniable significance that Carey holds for so many communication scholars, as well as making his work accessible to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students." A member of the review committee commented, "One of the virtues of Jeff’s book is that its organization matches the way Carey thought about his intellectual life. Carey would choose, for some number of years, to think about a topic through the work of a particular group of thinkers whose perspectives and voices he found congenial. That is a different and more literary approach to talking about theory than most scholars take. He was less interested in parsing all the nuances of different schools of thought and more concerned with capturing the essence of a writer’s voice and insight. Jeff’s book accurately captures and makes sense of that trajectory of thought." The committee also wishes to honorably mention Dr. Holly Kruse, associate professor of communication at Rogers State University in Claremore, Oklahoma for her book, Off-Track and Online: The Networked Spaces of Horse Racing, for outstanding application of Carey’s theories. The Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research is a non-profit organization established to promote the scholarship of the late Carl J. Couch and his academic associates. Couch is recognized as the founder of The New Iowa School in sociological and communication inquiry, and was a pioneer in the qualitative research of information technologies. The Center provides networking opportunities for students and scholars who conduct social and Internet research, inspired by Couch's work. - 30 - Contact: Dr. Mark D.

CFP: #AoIR2017 Precon Workshop: Social Media Data Bootcamp and Research Hackathon (reminder!)
by Libby Hemphill 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Dear colleagues, Please join us early in Tartu for a productive workshop collecting social media data and planning projects! https://aoir.org/aoir2017/preconworkshop/#SMD Libby Social Media Data Bootcamp and Research Hackathon The technical expertise and computational resources required to collect and manage large scale social media data exclude many researchers who have the theoretical expertise to interrogate the data. Several tools have been developed recently by researchers to address these problems, and we introduce a few of those, and their developers, in this workshop. This half-day workshop will help researchers interested in using data from social media platforms get started collecting data and managing their data workflow. We begin with brief overviews (roughly 10 minutes each) of digital research practices (Rogers), big data research project management (Hemphill), and open source tools for social media data collection (Hemsley and Tanupabrungsun). The remainder of the workshop will be structured as a research “hackathon” where participants will actively work in small groups to articulate data needs for specific research projects, draft data collection and management plans, and begin collecting data using existing tools. The organizers all have experience developing tools to facilitate the capture of Internet data for a variety of research ends. They will each introduce some of the available tools and will be on hand to help during the hackathon. Rogers and colleagues have developed a suite of tools under the Digital Media Initiative that facilitate data capture from sources such as GitHub, Instagram, Pinterest, and Tumblr. Hemphill’s lab has developed a project management approach for handling big social data research projects and is involved in building infrastructures for social media data sharing. Hemsley and Tanupabrungsun have developed the Social Media Tracker, Aggregator, and Collector Toolkit that helps researchers quickly spin up data collection projects for Twitter and Facebook. While most of the workshop will focus on data tools and their use, we will also discuss the theoretical and methodological challenges that big social data present. For instance, we will discuss the limitations that platforms place on data available through their APIs, the ethical considerations of “public” data, and the potential for data sharing infrastructures to facilitate social media research. *Call for Applications* We invite participants with a range of expertise studying social media to submit applications. The workshop will be most useful for researchers who have projects or questions in mind but who are unsure about how to get the data they need to answer their questions. Applications should be 300-600 words and should provide the following: 1. A short statement about their experience as a social media researcher – along with research questions, projects, publications, etc. 2. An overview of the research project they would like to work on during the hackathon. This overview should include the specific questions they are addressing and the data challenges they are facing. Because we hope to achieve measurable progress on each participant’s research, we will limit the workshop to no more than 20 participants. We may select up to 20 “observers” who will be invited to attend but whose projects will not be a focus of the hackathon portion. Applications should be submitted via Dropbox Requests <https://www.dropbox.com/request/RFooIrvLPtaHBv1GZ1EF> by June 30, 2017 at 5pm CDT. All those who submit proposals will be notified of the status of their applications before the August 1, 2017 Early Registration <https://aoir.org/aoir2017/registration/> deadline. Please make sure your name, email, and institutional affiliation are included in the application you submit so that we can get in touch with you. *Links to Tools* https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/ToolDatabase http://www.casmlab.org/pipeline-process/ https://github.com/OCDX https://github.com/bitslabsyr/stack

[OT] Fwd: death of Denis McQuail
by Cecilia Tanaka 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Carpentier Nico <nico.carpentier(a)vub.ac.be> -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Peter Golding <peter.golding(a)NORTHUMBRIA.AC.UK> Colleagues will be sad to learn of the death on Sunday of Denis McQuail. Denis was one of the giants of our field, the author of numerous original works, probably the field’s major textbook, and one of the founders of the European Journal of Communication. Most of all he was a good friend and incomparable mentor for many in the field, and he will be badly missed and long remembered. ====== Sorry if sounds too OT to pay tribute to a dead professor, but Prof. McQuail wrote brilliant works about mass communication, about the relations between media and society, talking about political, social and cultural aspects of freedom of expression, censorship, information of public interest, and so many concepts we study and defend daily... He deserves this last goodbye. It's always sad when a teacher, an author dies. He will live in his works, but it's always strange to me to know you will never say hello again to a person. I never said 'Hello, I love your work!' to Prof. McQuail and now I will never say...

Save the date: FoME Symposium 2017 - Power Shifts. Media Freedom and the Internet, Nov. 16-17
by Matthias Spielkamp | iRights.info 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Dear AoIR colleagues, find below our save the date. Please circulate in your networks, if appropriate. Thanks a lot and kind regards Matthias Power Shifts. Media Freedom and the Internet FoME Symposium 2017 November 16-17 Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, Berlin Hosted by iRights In many countries, not only in the developing world, governments are pushing for more control over the Internet. Censoring content is a growth industry, and Internet and social network shutdowns in response to civil protest and unrest are on the rise. Online surveillance is exploding and people are being increasingly intimidated or detained because of their online activities. Therefore it is vital for civil society and the media to work together in order to shape the Internet of the future and ensure it remains in the service of democracy. And the role of international media assistance needs to be reconsidered in this context. At the core of the symposium will be the following questions: - How to address Internet filtering and blocking in authoritarian regimes? - How to counter “fake news” without stifling freedom of expression? - How to minimize risks emerging from cyber security initiatives? - Should the media development community engage more in the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) processes? - Should media development focus its attention more to international digital media enterprises? - How to regulate or control the expansion of digital surveillance programs? - Should digital information literacy be more prominent on the media development agenda? These and other issues will be discussed at the 2017 symposium of the Forum Media and Development (FoME), taking place in Berlin on November 16-17. The FoME symposium will bring together journalists, media managers, media development specialists, activists, academics and representatives from government and private companies from around the world to exchange views and foster ideas to keep the Internet free and open – for media and citizens around the globe. The symposium is organized and hosted by iRights in cooperation with Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. FoME is an initiative of 20 organisations from German-speaking countries active in international media development, including iRights, Reporters without Borders, CAMECO, Deutsche Welle Akademie, ECPMF, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, Friedrich Naumann Stiftung, IDEM, Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and others. Detailed information regarding the FoME Symposium 2017 will be available from September 15th at www.fome.info.

How many new Facebook friendships per month? Year? Has anyone got data on this?
by Nicholas John 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Hi all, I really need to know how many new Facebook friendships people make per week, month, year, or whatever unit of time data are available for. I imagine that new users make lots all at once, and that then it flattens out, but I’ve got no idea on average how many new Facebook ties are made by people every month or whatever. Does anyone know? Has anyone seen data on this anywhere?

CFP: Composition as Big Data (due 8/1)
by Amanda Licastro 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Dear AIR, Please consider submitting a proposal for the following edited collection. Feel free to share widely (with apologies for cross-posting). This edited collection, currently under consideration, will serve as a research and methods guide for practitioners interested in conducting large-scale data-driven examinations of writing. Full CFP here: http://bit.ly/comp-as-data-cfp (which leads to http://digitocentrism.com/digital-projects/cfp-composition-as-big-data/ ) Computational analysis of big data has changed the way information is processed. Corporations analyze patterns in what people buy, how far they run, where they spend their time; they quantify habits to create more effective advertisements and cross-promotions. In academe, humanities scholars are using computational analysis to identify patterns in literary texts, historical documents, image archives, and sound, all of which has added to the body of knowledge in humanities theory and methodology. Meanwhile, many institutions and writing programs are adopting learning management systems that may digitally archive hundreds – if not thousands or tens of thousands – of student compositions from across levels and disciplines. What is our responsibility, and what is the potential, in harnessing big-data methods as composition researchers, teachers, and administrators? Composition and rhetoric scholars have begun to adopt corpus-based computational analysis both to better understand the field as a whole – through the rhetoric of job postings (Lauer), professional journals (Mueller; Almjeld et al), and dissertation records (Miller; Gatta) – and to research student compositions, the teaching of which is the primary job of most composition and rhetoric scholars. Through data-driven studies of student entrance exams (Aull), citation practices (Jamieson and Moore Howard), revision practices (Moxley), and acknowledgment of counterarguments (Lancaster), scholars have found patterns that distinguish student writing from published academic writing, suggesting areas to target for instruction. This edited collection will model and reflect on the research made possible by high-capacity data storage and computation, either alone or in conjunction with close reading and evaluation in context. Authors are invited to submit abstracts for chapters that focus on the rhetoric, methods, and findings of recent large-scale data studies of writing. We are especially interested in contributions that include replicable practices and/or detailed descriptions of method, with an eye toward graduate-level research, teaching, or administrative applications in the intersecting fields of digital humanities, linguistics, and composition. The following list of topics and questions is not exhaustive, but suggestive, illustrating the range of issues to be taken up: - Data Capture and the Captivation of Data - When we say “big data” in composition what do we mean? What datasets are available, promising, or already producing insight? - What new questions do these datasets allow us to ask or answer? What are their limitations? - How has data gathered from large corpora of (student) writing changed the scholarship and practice of composition / rhetoric? How might such data do so in the future? - Responsible Research - Who is responsible for creating or curating datasets in composition? How might the answers change at different scales? - What are the ethical responsibilities of anyone storing, retrieving, or analyzing composition data – perhaps especially where students and their writing are concerned? - How, should researchers negotiate issues of consent and representation when recording or reporting on data? How is this affected by the scale or scope of the data? - Discourse and Discovery - How can computational tools aid in the qualitative coding of (student) writing? How do these practices relate to traditional coding methods? - What data-supported models of writing practices emerge from the study of digital corpora? - What does or can big data show about the nature of expertise and learning in the context of composing? - Pedagogical Practices - How can the field of composition / rhetoric use data to positively impact pedagogical or andragogical practices? For example, how can data-supported studies improve composition instruction in higher education? - What is the relationship between distant and close reading in regard to assessing student writing? Can and/or should distant reading practices be applied to assessment at the undergraduate level, and in what ways? - What role can analysis of big data play for student researchers in composition / rhetoric? - Supporting a Data-Supported Future - What standards or best practices are emerging for data archiving, aggregation, and interoperability? - How might those new to big-data approaches most usefully manage issues of scope or documentation? - How can we best support new researchers, teachers, or administrators in developing comfort with big-data approaches and insights? What does a successful program of big-data training look like? Abstracts of approximately 350 words should provide, in as much detail as possible, the focus and argument(s) for the proposed chapter. Abstracts and brief author bios are due 1 August 2017 via Google Forms at http://bit.ly/comp-as-data. Questions can be directed to Amanda Licastro ( amanda.licastro(a)gmail.com) or Ben Miller (benmiller314(a)gmail.com) with the subject line “Composition as Big Data.” Thank you, Amanda Licastro, PhD Assistant Professor of Digital Rhetoric, Stevenson University in Maryland http://digitocentrism.com/ @amandalicastro
