01 Mar '19

Hi everyone, Now that you have submitted your papers to AoIR's conference I'm here to remind you of about the conference we're organising in 18-19 June 2019, at Liverpool University's London campus - DIPRC2019: Digital Inclusion Policy and Research Conference 2019. Deadline for submissions - 31st March 2019 Acceptance notification will be sent by 25th April 2019. The conference is free of charge. Please see below all the information for the CFP, and feel free to email me if you have any further questions. Have a fantastic weekend, Dr. Elinor Carmi, Postdoc Research Associate - Digital Media & Society, Department of Communication and Media, Faculty of the Humanities and Social Sciences, School of the Arts, Liverpool University, UK. https://elinorcarmi.com<https://elinorcarmi.com/> Twitter: @elinor.carmi<mailto:elinor.carmi@liverpool.ac.uk> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIPRC2019: Digital Inclusion Policy and Research Conference 2019 University of Liverpool in London, Finsbury Square London, UK, June 18-19, 2019 As more of our everyday lives become digital, from paying bills, to contacting companies and services and keeping in touch with your friends and family - it has become crucial to include everyone in the online world. What type of skills do people need to ‘be digital’? Do different people from different ages and abilities need different types of skills and training? And how can we foresee what skills will be needed for future work? While these questions have been occupying the private sector and policy makers, as more tasks become automated and digitalised they become ever more crucial. Evidence shows that inequalities in access to and use of digital media have measurable impacts on the life chances, health and economic wellbeing of citizens. The GoodThings Foundation published a report on September 2018 which identified that over 11 million UK citizens lack the basic digital skills they need to participate fully in our digital economy<https://www.goodthingsfoundation.org/research-publications/economic-impact-…>. As the Foundation predicts, by 2028 the UK will lose over £22 billion of value as a direct result of digital exclusion. Since the introduction of machine learning and artificial intelligence research has shifted to understanding inequalities in complex skills and use. In addition, as ‘fake news’ and misinformation have become common practice by various entities it has introduced new avenues to include in digital literacies. This shift has become key to some governmental digital strategies, such as those of the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and their equivalents around the globe. This conference will bring together academic research with policy makers and stakeholders to review the current state for the art in digital inclusion policy and practice. The conference will draw upon over two decades of research, policy, and practice. Over this time digital inequalities, digital inclusion and digital literacies have changed in response to developments in digital technologies and media. Though key themes have remained, such as: material and financial access; skills and digital literacy; effective use by citizens and communities; the impact of socio-economic factors; motivation and attitudes; and, more recently socio-economic and socio-cultural variations in patterns of usage. Digital inequities therefore have become an important part of broader persistent issues of social equity and justice. The primary aim of this conference is to link up international policy efforts to address digital inequalities, access and skills with the outcomes of recent research at from around the globe. The intention being to support sharing best practice and research insights. The conference will be a mix of invited presentations from policy and research colleagues, along with open paper sessions. For the open sessions we seek presentations that cover empirical research as well as policy and practice interventions, such as: * Data analysis of levels of digital inclusion/exclusion and engagement * Studies on the link between misinformation and data literacies * Studies of the impacts of digital exclusion * Policy interventions * Case studies of initiatives and programmes * Case studies of community impact Submission and Registration Guidelines The conference is FREE of charge.

CFP Sponsored Editorial Content: special issue of Digital Journalism (8 April abstract deadline)
by Jonathan Hardy 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

With apologies for cross-posting Call for papers for a special issue of Digital Journalism:Sponsored editorial content Amid falling display advertising and subscription revenues, sponsored content has offered publishers the potential for increased earnings, and marketers a means to tackle ad-avoidance and boost engagement (Harms et al., 2017). Sponsored content is now the second most important revenue generator (44%), after advertising (70%) and ahead of subscription (31%), according to a worldwide newsroom survey (ICFJ 2017). Sponsored editorial content is material with similar qualities and format to content that is typically published on a platform, but which is paid for by a third party. Advertising that resembles editorial long predates the digital age, but brands are increasingly involved in the production of publisher-hosted branded content, including material described as paid content, sponsored content, native advertising, programmatic native, content recommendation and clickbait. Sponsored content has been the focus of considerable industry interest over recent years, amid continuing controversy (Wojdynski and Golan, 2016). The inclusion of paid content designed to be ‘native’ to its editorial environment has generated most concerns, ranging from deception and reader awareness (Wojdynski and Evans, 2016) to the impact on editorial integrity, credibility and trust in publishing (Levi, 2015; Piety, 2016; Einstein, 2016). Much research to date has examined regulatory requirements and adherence, forms of labelling and identification and reader awareness and attitudes (Wu et al., 2016; Iversen and Knudsen, 2017; Amazeen and Wojdynski, 2018; Campbell and Evans, 2018). Researchers have examined the adoption of sponsored content in newsrooms (Coddington, 2015; Conill, 2016), including work that explores ‘norm entrepreneurship’ amongst professionals adopting more affirmative perspectives of content curation against critical conceptualisations such as erosion of the ‘firewall’ between ‘church’ and ‘state’, editorial and advertising (Carlson, 2014). Others have examined the emergence of ‘hybrid editors’ (Poutanen et al., 2016), alongside the proliferation of sponsored content production arrangements. Building on such studies, this call invites both conceptual and empirical papers that explore the implications of sponsored content for the practices and study of digital journalism, and for research agendas, across Western and non-Western media systems. Despite the overall growth in scholarship, there has been comparatively little work examining how sponsored content is managed and produced across digital publishing operations, how demarcations between content producers are constructed, and how more liquid identities and affiliations are performed. The merging of editorial and marketing content takes place with increasing levels of automation and with a range of intermediary agencies and processes involved. As practices and formats multiply, there needs to be greater academic convergence to examine sponsored content along a continuum of transactional relationships between media and sources involving payment or other consideration. Research is also needed to integrate considerations of practice and policy-making by exploring the varieties of governance of sponsored content across digital journalism, from the application of formal regulations to rule-making and self-governance at all levels, including non-acceptance. Examining the operation of governance, together with further studies on audience perceptions and responses, can inform wider discussions about regulatory design for digital communications. This special issue invites contributions on the organisation and practices of digital publishers surrounding sponsored editorial content, on the identities, attitudes and reflexivity of journalists and other content producers, and on the influence of modes of governance on behaviour. Papers are also invited that consider the implications of sponsored content for some of the core themes and debates within journalism studies surrounding power, control, agency, ethics and regulation, and for the study and teaching of converging communications activities. Both empirical and theoretical manuscripts; quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches; single-country and comparative research are welcome. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * history and development of sponsored content in digital journalism, * emergent forms and formats across programmatic native advertising, content recommendation, and sponsored editorial content, * institutional arrangements, attitudes and practices surrounding sponsored content in digital publishing, * media business models and the role, or rejection, of sponsored content, * relationships between data, journalism, algorithms, automation and sponsored content, * changing relationships, tensions and convergence across journalism, public relations and advertising, * reader awareness, attitudes and responses, * modes and effectiveness of governance of sponsored content. Information about Submissions Proposals should include the following: an abstract of 500-750 words (not including references) as well as background information on the author(s), including an abbreviated bio that describes previous and current research that relates to the special issue theme.

Sad by Design
by Geert Lovink 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

Dear air-l members, I am proud to present you my next essay called Sad by Design, published by the web magazine Eurozine in Vienna: https://www.eurozine.com/sad-by-design/ <https://www.eurozine.com/sad-by-design/>. It is the title chapter of my next book, which comes out over the next couple of months in Italian (UBI), English (Pluto Press), Spanish and German. In this essay I am investigating the many dimensions of ‘technological sadness’. I quickly realized there are many, conflicting, emotions. I hesitate to look at the entire world from the lense of sadness this or sadness that--but it is a strong angle nontheless. I hope you enjoy my attempt to overcome easy positions of refusal of and contempt of social media. At our Institute of Network Cultures we’re devoted to social media alternatives for many years now (Unlike Us was founded in 2011). This political position, however, should not stop us from investigating the messy emotional world of the online billions. Here's a fragment. Best from Geert — "In the online context, sadness appears as a short moment of indecisiveness, a flash that opens up the possibility of a reflection. The frequently used ‘sad’ label is a vehicle, a strange attractor to enter the liquid mess called social media. Sadness is a container. Each and every situation can potentially be qualified as ‘sad’. Through this mild form of suffering, we enter the blues of being in the world. When something’s sad, things around it become grey. You trust the machine because you feel you’re in control of it. You want to go from zero to hero. But then your propped-up ego implodes and the failure of self-esteem becomes apparent again. The price of self-control in an age of instant gratification is high. We long to revolt against the restless zombie inside us, but we don’t know how. Our psychic armour is thin and eroded from within, open to ‘behavioural modifications’. Sadness arises at the point we’re exhausted by the online world. After yet another app session in which we failed to make a date, purchased a ticket and did a quick round of videos, the post-dopamine mood hits us hard. The sheer busyness and self-importance of the world makes you feel joyless. After a dive into the network we’re drained and feel socially awkward. The swiping finger is tired and we have to stop."
