Data Literacies CFP for Information and Learning Sciences journal
by Amelia Acker 26 Sep '22

26 Sep '22

Dear colleagues, Apologies for cross posting this call for papers. My colleagues Dr. Leanne Bowler and Dr. Luci Pangrazio, and I invite you to submit to a special issue on Data Literacies for the journal of Information and Learning Sciences <https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/ils>. I’ve excerpted the CFP below, for the full description please see: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/calls-for-papers/perspectives-data-l… For this Special Issue, we invite papers exploring current perspectives in learning and information research and teaching on data literacies among learners, addressing the growing need for a data literate society. Future job prospects hinge on the ability to participate and use datafied systems and processes, which requires the ability to read, analyze, reason with, and argue with multiple forms of data. But equally, people are themselves subjects of data, being thoroughly measured, tracked, and analyzed through their personal digital data created with everyday information and communication technologies. Contemporary data subjectivity, built on data traces and their near constant collection, affects people’s most basic sense of autonomy and agency in life. As well, there is a wide disconnect between the data practices of government and corporations and the data skills, knowledge, and level of awareness of the general public (Deahl, 2014; Qlik, 2019). Scope: The guest editors invite research addressing teaching and learning related to data literacies in primary and secondary school (K-12) and at the undergraduate level, as well as informal spaces of learning such as libraries and after-school programs, and among learners and publics of all ages. Submissions from a broad range of disciplines, including information science, the learning sciences, and science and technology studies, among others are welcome. We welcome work offering new data literacy theory / frameworks / definitions, design and implementation research, practice theories, and well-contextualized cross-sectional research exploring data literacy levels among groups / publics / contexts, perhaps addressing inequality. Justice-oriented frameworks, sociotechnical lenses, and other approaches appropriate to the topic of data literacies in varying information and learning contexts are invited. Submissions are due 31 May 2023. For more information and author instructions, please see: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/ils Please share this CFP with interested colleagues as you can. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Sincerely, Amelia -- Dr. Amelia Acker Associate Professor School of Information University of Texas at Austin http://www.ameliaacker.com/

UK Influencer Parliamentary Inquiry
by Sophie H Bishop 23 Sep '22

23 Sep '22

Hello all, I was the Specialist Advisor for the UK Parliamentary Influencer Inquiry in the UK which meant I worked with the Department of Digital, Media, Communication and Sport to support them in collecting evidence and putting together a report on themes related to influencer culture. The idea is that the issue is holistically reviewed, and recommendations are made to the Government for policy change. I have to add disclaimer that I only *advised *and the report etc was ultimately written by the Committee. I'm not speaking on behalf of the inquiry - I just wanted to draw attention to the report for those interested. Some great people gave evidence from this list including Dr Crystal Abidin, Dr Robyn Caplan, Dr Ysabel Gerrard and more! Evidence sessions were transcribed and can be found here <https://committees.parliament.uk/work/1126/influencer-culture/publications/…> (the platform one - with reps from Meta, Instagram, TikTok & Twitter - is interesting). The inquiry most looked at influencer labour (working conditions, pay gaps, representation), experiences of harassment, children working as influencers (you can see from the report that the current regulation has a lot of gaps in it around this), and advertorial labelling. The report can be found here <https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/22107/documents/164150/defaul…> - a useful shorthand on the report for use in teaching (or for anyone who wants cliff notes) can be found here <https://ukparliament.shorthandstories.com/influencer-culture-DCMS-report/>. Today the Government responded to the Inquiry's recommendations - there's some interesting stuff in there (also some predictable stuff about influencers being self employed and therefore not being entitled to labour protections). The response is here <https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/28742/documents/173531/defaul…>in case anyone is interested. Changes will be made to the ways influencers are monitored for ad labelling, possible changes to child influencer employment regulation, the potential development of a code of conduct for influencer contracts. I thought people may be interested in this inquiry for research or teaching. Feel free to get in touch.

television news research archive spanning 50 countries (internet archive's tv news archive)
by kalev leetaru 23 Sep '22

23 Sep '22

For those that are interested in examining television news, either as a medium itself or as a proxy for video storytelling as a comparative for the rise of video on the web, we announced yesterday in collaboration with the Internet Archive an expansion of the open TV News Visual Explorer to the entirety of the Archive's international television news holdings, which now span selections from 98 channels across 50 countries and territories in 35 languages and dialects over 20 years: https://blog.gdeltproject.org/tv-news-visual-explorer-announcing-98-channel… For 34 of those channels they are being actively updated daily. For those interested in doing an analysis like the New York Times' Tucker Carlson series, you can now do that directly from the Visual Explorer, with CNN, MSNBC and Fox News and the ABC/CBS/NBC evening news broadcasts spanning a decade. A selection of Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian domestic television news is also available, including playable video clips, for those interested in the domestic narratives of the invasion. You can see more about the collection: https://blog.archive.org/2022/06/02/a-new-approach-to-understanding-war-thr… Of especial interest for computational scholars, the Visual Explorer works by representing each broadcast as a thumbnail grid, one frame every 4 seconds through the broadcast. The full-resolution versions of those thumbnail frames are available as a downloadable ZIP file to permit at-scale non-consumptive visual analysis of television news. Here is an example of using a logo detector API to scan a Russian news broadcast for the Fox News logo to find all of the Fox clips being shown on Russian TV: https://blog.gdeltproject.org/experiments-in-scanning-russian-television-ne… And an example of performing a reverse Google Images search for each of those frames to find other appearances of that imagery across the open web, allowing cross-domain research tying the broadcast and online worlds together: https://blog.gdeltproject.org/using-visual-explorer-googles-cloud-vision-ap… I thought this massive open dataset might be of interest to many of you. Happy to answer any questions! Kalev
