*Media Platformisation and Small Nations Conference* *28-29 October 2021* Register HERE <https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/media-platformisation-and-small-nat…> You are warmly welcomed to the Media Platformisation and Small Nations Conference, 28-29 of October 2021, organized by the University of Helsinki with the research projects EuromediApp <https://euromediapp.org/>, CORDI <https://cordi.blog/> and MAPS <https://blogs.helsinki.fi/mapsproject/>. *The virtual part of our conference is open to all and free of charge.* The registration is the only requirement, here <https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/media-platformisation-and-small-nat…>. Registration is open until 22.10.2021. We will start our conference with the keynote of Steven Livingston, Professor & Founding Director of the Institute for Data, Democracy, and Politics at George Washington University. Prof.Livingston will be discussing *Deplatforming the Far-Right: Alt-Tech and the Possible Ironic Outcome of Mainstream Content Moderation*. In this talk, Prof. Livingston will describe recent research he and his colleagues have done on deplatformed user accounts and their migration to Gab and other “alt-tech” platforms. Prof. Livingston raises a key question: Does deplatforming create an incentive for the further development of alt tech platforms? Secondly, do users suspended from mainstream platforms, once migrated to alt tech platforms, constitute an even greater risk to liberal democracy? Does platform moderation on mainstream platforms have the ironic effect of concentrating the presence and ideological fervor of illiberal ideologies? The second day features a panel* Perspectives to Media Platformisation and Small Nations* with Prof. Terry Flew, University of Sydney (opening remarks), Prof. Anja Bechmann, Aarhus University; Prof. Marko Milosavljevic, University of Ljubljana; and Prof. Natali Helberger, University of Amsterdam You can find out more about our other keynote speakers and the program in general by visiting our website <https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/media-platformisation-and-small-nat…> .

WEBCAST TODAY: Spectrum and Indigenous Connectivity: Intervening in ISED Consultation
by Joly MacFie 01 Oct '21

01 Oct '21

Something of a preview of the forthcoming Indigenous Connectivity Summit <https://isoc.live/14505/>, prompted by the urgency of garnering public input into the ISED Spectrum process. The outlook on spectrum is evolving and, as was once said, "When the mode of the music changes, the walls of the city shake," Note this is already archived and the transcripts are linked below. ISOC Live posted: "Today Friday Oct 1 2021 at 11:00 EDT (15:00 UTC) ISOC.LIVE will webcast a recording of the Internet Society Sep 21 webinar to discuss the importance of spectrum for enabling broadband Internet service in Indigenous communities across Canada.

Ensuring access to adequate spectrum provides opportunities for underserved communities to connect themselves with reliable, affordable Internet that is provided by the current market. In August, *Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada* (ISED) initiated *a consultation on a new supplementary licensing process* <https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf11717.html> (Access Licensing framework) for unused spectrum to support innovation and the availability of rural services. If implemented correctly, this process can be a major benefit for Indigenous connectivity efforts across Canada. This webinar provided the background needed to engage in ISED’s consultation process, which closes on October 12, focusing on the importance of spectrum for Indigenous communities, the current state of spectrum policy in Canada, promising practices for spectrum allocation in the US, and navigating the consultation process. *INTRODUCTION* *Mark Buell*, regional Vice President North America, Internet Society *PANEL* *Steve Song*, Policy Advisor, Mozilla Corporation *Laura Tribe*, Executive Director, OpenMedia *Darrah Blackwate*r, Law & Policy Fellow, University of Arizona *MODERATOR* *Dr. Gregory Taylor*, Canadian Spectrum Policy Research / University of Calgary *DISCUSSANTS* *Faud Khan*, Founder & Chief Security Analyst, TwelveDot Inc. *Erick Huerta*, Policy and Advocacy Coordinator, Rhizomatica *Reza Rajabiun*, Research Fellow.

Gloviczki Book Announcement: Mediated Narration in the Digital Age (Nebraska, 2021)
by Peter Joseph Gloviczki PhD 01 Oct '21

01 Oct '21

Friends, I'm delighted to announce that today is publication day for my book *Mediated Narration in the Digital Age: Storying the Media World*, which appears in the Frontiers of Narrative Series at University of Nebraska Press. Below is a bit of information about, and some advance praise, for the book. If you are able to utilize it in your classes, I would love to come Zoom or Skype visit with your groups. Post pandemic, I would also love to visit in person. Here is the website for the book: https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/nebraska/9781496217639/ Every good wish, Peter >> About the Book Mediated Narration in the Digital Age examines mediated narration from 1991 through 2018. Peter Joseph Gloviczki considers this pivotal period spanning the rise of the World Wide Web through the growth of social media to understand how contemporary media accounts storied everyday life and times of crisis. He uses examples across media culture to show that complicated issues benefit from a critical poststructuralist approach to journalism, which promotes a communitarian ethos of respect, inclusion, and dialogue. Textual analysis of a wide range of media narratives—from a 2012 YouTube clip outlining a time line of the Sandy Hook school shootings, to coverage of then-newly-discovered footage of President Roosevelt in a wheelchair in 2013, to the Cincinnati Enquirer’s 2017 piece “Seven Days of Heroin”—illustrate how theoretical concepts work in practice while explaining the new media environment. In response to the lack of awareness of news as mediated narration, Gloviczki calls for journalists to be aware of their role in meaning-making and the attendant ethical responsibilities. He provides the analysis essential to effective practice that emphasizes the connection between the individual and the community in order to more fully represent the mediated body. Praise “Gloviczki contributes in important ways to the ongoing debate about the future of journalism, a debate animated by the unprecedented potential for new media technology to revitalize our thinking about—and our commitment to—a more humane world.”—Theodore L. Glasser, professor emeritus of communication at Stanford University “A compelling, provocative, and highly instructive manifesto for new and better ways to practice the art of communication, whether the art of journalism or the art of communication, in everyday life.”—Gerry Philipsen, professor emeritus of communication at the University of Washington “Gloviczki’s book—scaffolded by an intricate grid of theories—offers a personally rooted, poignant, powerful, and accessible exposition of mediated narration’s cultural dimensions, its essential role in helping audiences navigate the complex terrains of school violence, ableism, body politics, drug addiction, and more.”—Radhika Parameswaran, Herman B. Wells Endowed Professor, The Media School at Indiana University–Bloomington “Stunning writing, bold, close to the bone: Gloviczki shows us how to show, not tell.”—Norman K. Denzin, professor emeritus of communications, Institute of Communications Research, University of Illinois “In our troubled times we depend on journalism more than ever. But like many other societal institutions, journalism, too, is challenged to give voice to the variety of our experiences, to go beyond the flatness of portrayals, and, cognizant of its power and its constraints, to encourage society to cherish that narrating differences can unite. Mediated Narration in the Digital Age is a thoughtful and insightful reminder of that.”—Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, professor of Internet governance and regulation at the University of Oxford “Mediated Narration in the Digital Age provides a prescription for a form of storytelling better equipped to ethically represent the various communities that are both journalism’s subjects and its audiences. Both sobering and hopeful, Mediated Narration in the Digital Age is an important book designed to bring twenty-first-century journalism ‘more closely into alignment with the human experience.’”—Michael X.

9th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2022): Second Call for Contributions
by Announce Announcements 01 Oct '21

01 Oct '21

*** Second Call for Contributions *** 9th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2022) March 22-24, 2022, Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany https://www.esocc-conf.eu Scope Service-oriented and cloud computing have made a huge impact both on the software industry and on the research community. Today, service and cloud technologies are applied to build large-scale software landscapes as well as to provide single software services to end users. Services today are independently developed and deployed as well as freely composed while they can be implemented in a variety of technologies, a quite important fact from a business perspective. Similarly, cloud computing aims at enabling flexibility by offering a centralised sharing of resources. The industry's need for agile and flexible software and IT systems has made cloud computing the dominating paradigm for provisioning computational resources in a scalable, on- demand fashion. Nevertheless, service developers, providers, and integrators still need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service- oriented applications in the cloud. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state of the art and practice of service- oriented computing and cloud computing in Europe. The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of service-oriented computing and cloud computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond.
