Guidelines for safe blogging for women RE: New Report on Online Harassment, Defamation, and Hateful Speech
by Kristin Dagmar Eckert 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Dear Alice and everyone Thank you very much for sharing this great resource!! I immediately integrated a link to it into my own project, which I want to share herel as it so nicely fits into this threat. As part of my dissertation on women's voices online, for which I interviewed 109 women bloggers and online authors in the US, UK, Germany and Switzerland, I developed "Guidelines for Blogging" for women with a focus on safety. At the same time, the guidelines encourage women to blog and write online, to not be "scared" because we hear and read so much at the moment about online harassment especially regarding women (at least in the US, UK and Germany). So please share this link to my website "Guidelines for Blogging." It is also a good teaching resource, offering links to more resources as well. Here is the link and URL (it is available in English and German): http://safeblogging.wordpress.com/about/ Thank you for your support! I am also looking for further feedback, links and suggestions to improve the guidelines. So please send your suggestions along.

Marwick [amarwick(a)gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2014 3:21 PM To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org Subject: [Air-L] New Report on Online Harassment, Defamation, and Hateful Speech I am delighted to report that my latest report, coauthored with Ross Miller and the wonderful people from Fordham's Center on Law and Information Policy, has been released. Online Harassment, Defamation, and Hateful Speech: A Legal Primer This interdisciplinary project focused on online speech directed at women and seeks to provide a primer on (i) what legal remedies, if any, are available for victims of sexist, misogynist, or harassing online speech, and (ii) if such legal remedies and procedures exist, whether practical hurdles stand in the way of victims’ abilities to stop harassing or defamatory behavior and to obtain legal relief. The study concluded that while online harassment and hateful speech is a significant problem, there are few legal remedies for victims. This is partly due to issues of jurisdiction and anonymity, partly due to the protection of internet speech under the First Amendment, and partly due to the lack of expertise and resources on online speech at various levels of law enforcement. Given this landscape, the problem of online harassment and hateful speech is unlikely to be solved solely by victims using existing laws; law should be utilized in combination with other practical solutions. The objective of the project is to provide a resource that may be used by the general public, and in particular, researchers, legal practitioners, Internet community moderators, and victims of harassment and hateful speech online.

Hi all, A colleague and I wondered what, if anything, the literature says about accuracy of online vs. paper and pencil surveys. There's a lot available about response rates, but does medium affect how honest people are in their responses? Will happily share with the list. Thanks!! Jenny Jenny L.

CFP: HICSS Minitrack: Citizen Journalism and Social Media Archiving [REMINDER, DUE 15th June]
by Natalie Harrower 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Dear AoiR-ists: We're interested in your papers! REMINDER of CFP due 15th JUNE 2014: HICSS Minitrack: Citizen Journalism and Social Media Archiving http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/HICSS_48/Tracks/DSM/DSMCitizen.pdf Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) 48 January 5-8, 2015, Grand Hyatt, Kauai, Hawaii Submissions via the HICSS conference system: http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_48/apahome48.htm Twitter hashtag: #hicss_sja Focus: This multidisciplinary minitrack is part of Digital and Social Media track and is focused on the areas of citizen/social journalism and social media archiving, which pose distinct, yet complementary, research challenges. By pairing these topics in one multidisciplinary minitrack we hope to stimulate an exchange of ideas between multiple domains of research and industry, including news media, digital archiving and preservation, social network analysis, semantic web and linked data, communication studies and cultural studies. To this end we welcome papers in either of these two areas or papers that address their intersection. In this minitrack we are interested in addressing a variety of research questions from both theoretical and pragmatic perspectives. For example, how we can best utilize social media for news production? What technologies can we use for breaking news detection, filtering, aggregation and contextualization? How can we assess the veracity of social media content and sources? What moral, legal, and ethical issues arise when professional journalists use social media as a source? How can we organize, interpret, and retain a record of social media around news events? What does this record contribute to our larger understanding of news, and the writing of news? How can rigorous archiving and preservation of social media help researchers and journalists in their work on social movements, citizen engagement, political events, and network formation? Context: The exponential growth of social media as a central communication practice, and its agility in announcing breaking news events more rapidly than traditional media, has changed the journalistic landscape: social media has been adopted as a significant source by professional journalists, and conversely, citizens are able to use social media as a form of direct reportage. Social media content now forms a significant part of the digital content generated every day, and provides a platform for voices that would not reach the broader public through traditional journalistic media alone. In this emerging environment, citizen microblogs and other user- generated content constitute an important part of history and popular memory, in particular when attempting to capture significant events and the varied perspectives that accompany these events. The flow of citizen generated reporting through social media is ephemeral and disordered; it quickly becomes inaccessible if not captured and stored in some way. This is in contrast to traditional journalism, which has well-developed archival practices, enabling the news production life cycle to reuse and rediscover content. This new landscape calls for technologies and methodologies to 1) rapidly and efficiently capture, filter and verify content in a way that generates immediate value for journalistic purposes; and 2) properly annotate and archive this information for longer-term preservation, access and reuse in the news life-cycle (e.g. for contextualization, investigative reporting or comprehensive storytelling). If not preserved, or if preserved without careful attention to subsequent access and discoverability, there is a risk of losing the diversity this rich social narrative contributes to traditional news media. Topics of Interest: Keeping the application domains of the minitrack in mind, topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • The role of user generated content in the news production life-cycle  • Veracity, trust and provenance of social media sources and content • Approaches to archiving social media content • Event and topic detection and clustering  • Information and entity extraction  • Social network and community analysis • Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies for archival, discovery and enrichment of social media content • Opinion mining and sentiment analysis  • Story curation, contextualisation and recommendation  • Ethical challenges in archiving and broadcasting social media content For more information, please visit the minitrack web page at http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/HICSS_48/Tracks/DSM/DSMCitizen.pdf.

Social media and Web 2.0 technologies are applied in ever diverse practices both in private and public communities. Totally new business models are emerging, traditional communication and expression modalities are challenged, and new practices are constructed in the collaborative, interactive media space. Ambient/Ubiquitous Media & Open Source ?The medium is the message!? ? This conference track focuses on the definition of ambient and ubiquitous media with a cross-disciplinary viewpoint: ambient media between technology, art, and content. The focus of this track is on applications, location based services, ubiquitous computation, augmented reality, theory, art-works, mixed reality concepts, the Web 3.0, and user experiences that make ubiquitous and ambient media tick. Open source - The last decade has seen a significant increase in open source initiatives such as open source software, open standards, open content, open media, or even open source hardware. On the one hand, the open movement has created new kinds of opportunities such as new business models and development approaches. On the other hand, it has introduced new kinds of technical and non-technical challenges. Media Business, Media Production and Media Management Media business and media management face the challenges of the emergence of new forms of digital media and focuses on leadership practices, business models and value chains. It discusses competition, patterns of media usage, advertising models, and how traditional media can cope with the challenges coming from digital media focusing on media business and media management issues. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) The wide field of HCI is to discuss issues around human computer interaction modalities, consumer experience, design of computer systems, human aspects, universal media access, ergonomics, communication, novel interaction modalities, privacy, trusted systems, interaction theories, and sociological and psychological factors. This theme of devotes to several of these aspects, and is targeted to the scientific community dealing with several applied and theoretical aspects of HCI and user experience. Digital Games The culture and business of digital games is becoming increasingly varied. The current trends range from novel interface innovations and digital distribution channels to social game dynamics and player-generated content. The games track is open for theoretical works, empirical case studies and constructive projects. ICT & E-Government In recent years, ICT has played a pivotal role in the development of digital economy. This technology facilitates the rapid accumulation and dissemination of information, group interaction, communication, and collaboration. ICT has become one of the core elements of managerial reform around the world. Since the launch of web 2.0 and emergence of ICT infrastructure, processes and policies many governments and public officials use new online tools to communicate among themselves, and with organizations and citizens. Information Systems & Management in Creativity Industry The media and entertainment industry is the third largest industry segment for investments in information systems. This particular industry segment is faced with tremendous challenges in terms of organizational, transformational, leadership, customer behaviour, and technological changes. One particular challenge is the transformation of the analogue media world into its digital counterpart. As of today, the successive research of business information management and systems focusing on media and entertainment industries is rather fragmented and stretches over a wide area of research islands such as social media, eCommerce, or eBusiness. To face this challenge, this theme focuses on information management and systems for media and entertainment industries and highlighting their particular needs in production, distribution, and consumption in the larger context of media and entertainment industries. Hybrid Media Already today, the wall between physical and digital is starting to be less noticeable. For example, digital devices are now combined with traditionally non digital things, some examples being paper, cardboard and clothing. Application-toy hybrids are also common, such as digital games which utilize physical toys in some form. The hybrid media track is for publications where traditional media meets new media and where physical meets digital. Demonstrations The aim is to gather demonstrations from researchers and professionals from the communities related to the topics of MindTrek. The objective for the demonstrations is to provide a forum for exchanging experiences, practical projects, or media demonstrators. The target audience includes members of the academic community, industry, or laboratories who can demonstrate the results of their research projects with a practical implementation. Special academic sessions (e.g. tutorials, demonstrations, workshops, and multidisciplinary sessions) will be held parallel to the MindTrek business conference. Academic speakers and authors are warmly welcome to register for the business conference tracks as part of the academic conference with our special registration rate. The Academic MindTrek registration includes full service such as coffees, lunches, and social gatherings. The organizing committee invites you to submit original high quality full papers, long or short, addressing the special theme and the topics, for presentation at the conference and inclusion in the proceedings. Conference Publications =========================================================================================== The scientific part of the conference is organized in cooperation with ACM SIGMM, and ACM SIGCHI. Conference proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library, which includes short and long papers, workshop proposals, demonstration proposals, and tutorial proposals. Extended abstracts will be published in the adjunct conference proceedings; however, they will not be published within the ACM Digital Library. Selected high quality papers will be published in international journals, as book chapters, edited books, or via open access journals. There will also be a reward for the overall best paper from the academic conference. All the papers should follow the style guidelines of the conference. Short and Long Paper Proposals =========================================================================================== All submissions will be peer-reviewed double blinded, therefore please remove any information that could give an indication of the authorship.
