As the internet has been regulated from its conception, many
widespread beliefs regarding internet freedom are actually
misconceptions. Additionally, there are already two main categories
of internet regulation systems in use: the open and the silent
IRSs. Unexpectedly, the former are quite popular among
authoritarian regimes, while the latter are implemented mainly in
Western democracies. Many IT experts and media analysts criticize
Western governments' choice to use a silent IRS, expressing their
fear that this could set a dangerous precedent for the rest of the
democratic countries around the world. New regulation systems must
be developed and implemented that are more acceptable to the
general public. Internet Censorship and Regulation Systems in
Democracies: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential
reference source that discusses the phenomenon of internet
regulation in general and the use of internet regulation systems
(IRSs) by authoritarian regimes and Western democracies and
proposes a blueprint for the development and implementation of a
fair internet regulation system (FIRS). The book also considers the
function of a fair internet regulation system in terms of
maximizing its effectiveness, keeping the implementation cost low,
and increasing the probability of acceptance by each country's
general public. Featuring research on topics such as governmental
control, online filtering, and public opinion, this book is ideally
designed for researchers, policymakers, government officials,
practitioners, academicians, and students seeking coverage on
modern internet censorship policies within various international
democracies.
As media becomes more readily available in the digital age, it also
becomes more vulnerable to tampering and manipulation, making
techniques for verifying reliable news and media sources essential.
Understanding online technologies' role in shaping the media
environment allows for insight into the correlations between the
rapidly transforming media landscape and its unwanted effect on
news and content tampering. Cross-Media Authentication and
Verification: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a collection
of innovative research on the methods and applications of verifying
the newsgathering and publishing process. While highlighting topics
including human authentication, information evaluation, and
tampered content, this book is ideally designed for researchers,
students, publishers, and academicians seeking current research on
media authenticity and misinformation.

The climate change is primarily caused by the greenhouse effect
that increases through human activities and more specifically by
carbon dioxide (CO2). This mainly happens because of the human need
to produce more energy, so it can be used in services and in
production. Obviously WWW is part of the problem since it is
supported by a large number of data centers, which main function is
to provide guaranteed reliable service, security and connectivity
to the rest of the Internet via a high-capacity backbone. Data
centers consume significant amounts of energy. According to News
York Times data centers in the United States consume more than 1
billion watts of electricity each year. The aim of this book is to
study possible methods that can be applied to media websites in
order to reduce power consumption and to educate internet users on
environmental issues. Some of the issues that the study addresses
are: Whether the servers are powered by renewable sources of
energy, the ecological graphic design of the websites, and the
existence of energy saving mode, the prevention of printing
articles, whether newspapers inform their readers about
environmental issues and the interdependence or participation in
actions related to environment protection.
In this book, contributors analyze the knowledge about human
mobility, its interaction with news and social media, and the way
this impacts the attitudes of local societies and the integration
of immigrants. After a general contextualization of migration
dynamics in Southern Europe and its impact during the 21st Century,
the central chapters of the book offer the results of three
scientific studies conducted in Spain, Italy, and Greece about the
representation of migration in news media and social platforms.
These studies consist of an analysis of the frames used in news
photographs about migrants and refugees in relevant news outlets; a
computational study of online hate speech in social media based on
racism and xenophobia; and a comprehensive qualitative evaluation
of the perceptions that journalists specializing in migration may
have about the interconnection between migration and journalism.
Scholars of communication, migration studies, and journalism will
find this book of particular interest.
