Hosted by Dr. Jaigris Hodson, Canada Research Chair in Digital Communication for the Public Interest. With special guests: Abby Ferber, PhD., University of Colorado, Suzie Dunn, JD, LLM, Dalhousie University, Michelle Ferrier, PhD, Founder of Trollbusters and Emma Vossen, PhD, University of Waterloo. Digital communication technologies have become deeply embedded into our everyday lives. This has grown particularly true during the COVID-19 pandemic. We increasingly rely on communication technologies like social media platforms and collaborative work tools to carry out daily tasks and responsibilities. Yet, increased use of digital communication technologies and visibility online comes with the risk of experiencing technology-facilitated violence and abuse (TFVA). This webinar explores the grave implications that TFVA has on people, democracy, and the state of digital spaces. Our panel of experts will discuss the impact that TFVA has on different sectors of the economy, and possible solution-based approaches that could work to mitigate the harms experienced by targets of TFVA. The webinar will take place on Monday May 2, at 1pm Eastern Time. Please use the following link to register and we will send a zoom link prior to the event: https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/tfva Chandell Gosse, PhD | she/her Postdoctoral Research Fellow Royal Roads University t: @chandellenid I make my home on land traditionally tended to and cared for by the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Lunaapeewak and Attawandaron peoples, who have longstanding relationships to the land and region of southwestern Ontario and the City of London.

New publication from mediastudies.press: What Was Artificial Intelligence?, by Sue Curry Jansen
by Park, David 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

mediastudies.press<https://www.mediastudies.press/> is a scholar-led, nonprofit, no-fee open access publisher in the media, film, and communication studies fields. We are excited to announce the publication of our latest book, Sue Curry Jansen's What Was Artificial Intelligence?<https://www.mediastudies.press/wwai>. When it was originally published in 2002, Sue Curry Jansen’s “What Was Artificial Intelligence?” attracted little notice. The long essay was published as a chapter in Jansen’s Critical Communication Theory, a book whose wisdom and erudition failed to register across the many fields it addressed. One explanation for the neglect, ironic and telling, is that Jansen’s sheer scope as an intellectual had few competent readers in the communication studies discipline into which she published the book. “What Was Artificial Intelligence?” was buried treasure. In this mediastudies.press edition<https://www.mediastudies.press/wwai>, Jansen’s prescient autopsy of AI self-selling—the rhetoric of the masculinist sublime—is reprinted with a new introduction. Now an open access book, What Was Artificial Intelligence?<https://www.mediastudies.press/wwai> is a message in a bottle, addressed to Musk, Bezos, and the latest generation of AI myth-makers. The book is available online, and as a free download in PDF<https://github.com/mediastudiespress/singles/releases/download/wwai1.0/jans…>, ePub<https://github.com/mediastudiespress/singles/releases/download/wwai1.0/jans…>, and Mobi<https://github.com/mediastudiespress/singles/releases/download/wwai1.0/jans…>. The book is also available as a $5 paperback<https://www.amazon.com/dp/1951399064?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860>. What Was Artificial Intelligence?<https://www.amazon.com/dp/1951399064> appears in the Media Manifold series<https://www.mediastudies.press/media-manifold-series>. Scholars interested in proposing volumes in this or other series are encouraged to reach out with a query<https://www.mediastudies.press/queries>. For mediastudies.press, Dave Park

Apologies for cross-posting: CfP ECREA 2022 Pre-conference: “Digital Election Campaigning Worldwide”
by yossi david 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

Call for Papers (deadline for submission: 1 May 2022) Wednesday, 19 October 2022 Aarhus (Denmark) The ECREA pre-conference is organized by DigiWorld ( https://digidemo.ifkw.lmu.de/digiworld/) a scientific collaboration network of scholars that aims at international comparisons of election campaign strategies in digital communication channels, which currently is bringing together researchers from 17 countries. The long-term goals of DigiWorld include building a continuous research network dealing with digital campaigning, user engagement, and factors influencing it. The pre-conference, however, is open to researchers both from and beyond the DigiWorld network. The health of digital democracy has become under attack from political actors who actively use social media to spread disinformation and hate speech. To what extent are these (digital) propaganda techniques used in democracies during election times? How do they affect democratic processes and participation? We want to answer these questions by revealing and comparing the online communication of parties and politicians across the political spectrum on social media during national elections in various democracies. To discuss the use of communication strategies of party and candidate accounts on social media platforms during national elections, we are particularly interested in bringing together scholars who explore the use of such platforms in the local and international arena from both the global north and the global south. It especially welcomes contributions that explore this phenomenon from a comparative perspective between social and cultural groups. The pre-conference welcomes contributions on, but is not limited to: - Digital propaganda, campaigning, and democracy - Social media and disinformation in election campaigns - Elections and online hate speech - Methodological issues in research of elections and social network sites - Ethical dilemmas in research of elections and social network sites - Comparative approaches for studying digital propaganda, campaigning, and online hate speech Abstracts of 300 words excluding references must be sent to Yossi David ( ydavid(a)uni-mainz.de) and Uta Russmann (uta.russmann(a)uibk.ac.at) no later than May 1st, 2022. The pre-conference will take place in person in Aarhus (Denmark) on October 19th, 9 to 15 (CEST). Timeline: Deadline for submission of abstracts: May 1st, 2022 Notification of acceptance: June 1st, 2022 Deadline for registrations: September 1st, 2022 Pre-conference: October 19th, 2022, 9-15 (CEST) -- Yossi David Israel professor in communication science Department of communication Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz Jakob-Welder-Weg 12 55128, Mainz, Germany ydavid(a)uni-mainz.de +49-6131-39-29884 Pronouns: he/him/his Department homepage <https://www.ifp.uni-mainz.de/israel-professorship-in-communication-science/> - academia.edu <https://uni-mainz.academia.edu/YossiDavid> - researchgate <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Yossi_David2> - ORCiD <https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8020-0317>

Co-producing industrial public goods on GitHub
by Mathieu.O'Neil 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

[Humble apologies if you have already seen something like this on CITAMS!] Hi all It’s taken longer than we would have liked but the first peer-reviewed article from our Sloan/Ford Foundations Digital Infrastructure research has finally come out! It’s in New Media and Society and at 37 pages the longest paper I’ve ever published… worth every page though! ;-) Details below. Preprint will be on our university (O’Neil) and personal (Zacchiroli) websites soon. Cheers Mathieu =-=-=-= Co-producing industrial public goods on GitHub: Selective firm cooperation, volunteer-employee labour and participation inequality Mathieu O’Neil, Laure Muselli, Xiaolan Cai, Stefano Zacchiroli First Published April 27, 2022 https://doi.org/10.1177/14614448221090474<https://doi.org/10.1177/14614448221090474> Abstract The global economy’s digital infrastructure is based on free and open source software. To analyse how firms indirectly collaborate via employee contributions to developer-run projects, we propose a formal definition of ‘industrial public goods’ – inter-firm cooperation, volunteer and paid labour overlap, and participation inequality. We verify its empirical robustness by collecting networks of commits made by firm employees to active GitHub software repositories. Despite paid workers making more contributions, volunteers play a significant role. We find which firms contribute most, which projects benefit from firm investments, and identify distinct ‘contribution territories’ since the two central firms never co-contribute to top-20 repositories. We highlight the challenge posed by ‘Big Tech’ to the non-rival status of industrial public goods, thanks to cloud-based systems which resist sharing, and suggest there may be ‘contribution deserts’ neglected by large information technology firms, despite their importance for the open source ecosystem’s sustainability and diversity.

Instagram Group Discussion Data
by DeNel Rehberg Sedo 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

My apologies if this has already been discussed, but there is an issue this morning with our archive so I’m going to ask here. I have conducted a group discussion in a private Instagram group and have my data via the platform. I have it in both HTML and JSON, but the data is from the entire account and not specifically from the group. Does anyone have any advice on how to easily transfer the group discussion into a CSV file or into a data file that I could use in NVIVO? Thank you, DeNel DeNel Rehberg Sedo, PhD (she/her) Professor Department of Communication Studies Mount Saint Vincent University McCain Centre 306C, Box M64, 166 Bedford Hwy Halifax (K'jipuktuk), NS B3M 2J6 Canada I live in and work from the traditional homeland of the Sipekne’katik (Indian Brook/Shubenacadie) First Nation band. https://denelrehbergsedo.info
