Explores new perspectives on social media entertainment There is a
new class of cultural producers-YouTube vloggers, Twitch
gameplayers, Instagram influencers, TikTokers, Chinese wanghong,
and others-who are part of a rapidly emerging and highly disruptive
industry of monetized "user-generated" content. As this new wave of
native social media entrepreneurs emerge, so do new formations of
culture and the ways they are studied. In this volume, contributors
draw on scholarship in media and communication studies, science and
technology studies, and social media, Internet, and platform
studies, in order to define this new field of study and the
emergence of creator culture. Creator Culture introduces readers to
new paradigms of social media entertainment from critical
perspectives, demonstrating both relations to and differentiations
from the well-established media forms and institutions
traditionally within the scope of media studies. This volume does
not seek to impose a uniform perspective; rather, the goal is to
stimulate in-depth, globally-focused engagement with this
burgeoning industry and establish a dynamic research agenda for
scholars, teachers, and students, as well as creators and
professionals across the media, communication, creative, and social
media industries. Contributors include: Jean Burgess, Zoe Glatt,
Sarah Banet-Weiser, Brent Luvaas, Carlos A. Scolari, Damian
Fraticelli, Jose M. Tomasena, Junyi Lv, Hector Postigo, Brooke Erin
Duffy, Megan Sawey, Jarrod Walzcer, Sangeet Kumar, Sriram Mohan,
Aswin Punathambekar, Mohamed El Marzouki, Elaine Jing Zhao, Arturo
Arriagada, Jeremy Shtern, Stephanie Hill
The rapid growth of online media has led to new complications in
journalism ethics and practice. While traditional ethical
principles may not fundamentally change when information is
disseminated online, applying them across platforms has become more
challenging as new kinds of interactions develop between
journalists and audiences.
In "Ethics for Digital Journalists," Lawrie Zion and David Craig
draw together the international expertise and experience of
journalists and scholars who have all been part of the process of
shaping best practices in digital journalism. Drawing on
contemporary events and controversies like the Boston Marathon
bombing and the Arab Spring, the authors examine emerging best
practices in everything from transparency and verification to
aggregation, collaboration, live blogging, tweeting and the
challenges of digital narratives. At a time when questions of
ethics and practice are challenged and subject to intense debate,
this book is designed to provide students and practitioners with
the insights and skills to realize their potential as
professionals.
The book evaluates service-learning within the context of a liberal
arts education from a variety of disciplines. Contributors have
written chapters that have practical appeal to other teachers and
students interested in developing their own service-learning
courses and connecting those courses to broader issues of
citizenship and democracy.
The best journalists are masters at their craft. With a comma and a
colon, a vivid verb and a colorful adjective, they not only convey
important information but also create a sense of place and evoke
powerful emotions. A compelling story can shape-for good or ill-the
way a reader understands people, events, and issues. The Ethics of
the Story examines the ethical implications of narrative techniques
commonly used in journalism, not just literary journalism but also
news and feature writing. The book draws on interviews with 60
talented journalists, including Pulitzer Prize winners, to offer
practical advice about ethical choices in writing and editing. Much
has been written about journalism ethics, but the discussion has
often focused on spectacularly bad decisions-such as Jayson Blair's
and Jack Kelley's use of fraudulent narrative-rather than the
ethical dimension of day-to-day choices about the building blocks
of journalistic storytelling. The Ethics of the Story fills a gap
in current work on ethics, writing, and editing. It will enlighten
any serious wordsmith with a story to tell.
In the Clearances of the 19th century, crofts - once the mainstay
of Highland life in Scotland - were swept away as the land was put
over to sheep grazing. Many of the people of the Highlands and
islands of Scotland were forced from their homes by landowners in
the Clearances. Some fled to Nova Scotia and beyond. David Craig
sets out to discover how many of their stories survive in the
memories of their descendants. He travels through 21 islands in
Scotland and Canada, many thousands of miles of moor and glen, and
presents the words of men and women of both countries as they
recount the suffering of their forbears.
People have been writing "Greetings from Havre de Grace" since
1789, making this one of the oldest postal addresses in the
country. The rich history of the "Harbor of Hope" on the Chesapeake
Bay is documented in 265 postcard images, all from the early 20th
century. The cards depict well-known images such as the famous
"double-decker bridge," the Concord Point Lighthouse, and many
waterfront and boating scenes for which the city is known. Over 800
homes and other structures make up a large portion of the city,
listed on the National Register of Historic Districts.
Architectural styles range from stately Federal, Greek Revival,
Italianate, and Queen Anne styles to Victorian stone mansions. The
book portrays buildings that have thankfully been preserved, others
that have undergone drastic changes, and sadly, many that have
succumbed to development. This book evokes happy memories for
current and past residents and is an important architectural guide
for historians and preservationists.
In Chinese, the term wanghong refers to creators, social media
entrepreneurs alternatively known as KOLs (key opinion leaders) and
zhubo (showroom hosts), influencers and micro-celebrities. Wanghong
also refers to an emerging media ecology in which these creators
cultivate online communities for cultural and commercial value by
harnessing Chinese social media platforms, like Weibo, WeChat,
Douyu, Huya, Bilibili, Douyin, and Kuaishuo. Framed by the concepts
of cultural, creative, and social industries, the book maps the
development of wanghong policies and platforms, labor and
management, content and culture, as they operate in contrast to its
non-Chinese counterpart, social media entertainment, driven by
platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitch. As
evidenced by the backlash to TikTok, the threat of competition from
global wanghong signals advancing platform nationalism.
(Applause Acting Series). A terrific take on theatre singing by a
master teacher. "David Craig knows more about singing in the
musical theatre than anyone in this country which probably means
the world. Time and time again his advice and training have
resulted in actors moving from non-musical theatre into musicals
with ease and expertise. SHORT OF TAKING CLASSES, THIS BOOK IS A
MUST." Harold Prince

This novel, from a foremost expert on the Clearances, tells the
story of Flo Campbell and her eviction from the family's island
home, and all her subsequent struggles. The compelling storyline
has terrific energy, from the Battle of the Braes and Flo's
departure from the island to her travels and employment on Skye and
beyond. Flo's spirit remains unquenched whether challenged by the
faithlessness of lovers or the callousness of employers and she is
a historical witness who embodies the undying memories of her
Highland people. She spends much of her life in the lowlands of
Britain and in this as in many ways she incarnates the crofters,
fishermen, labourers and artists who spring from that epic northern
terrain. This is a masterful portrayal of the perverse power and
wretched consequences of the Clearances and how they transformed
the lives of individuals, and also the power of a native landscape
in a Celtic breast.

Award, given by the Association of Internet Researchers How the
transformation of social media platforms and user-experience have
redefined the entertainment industry In a little over a decade,
competing social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, have given rise to a new creative
industry: social media entertainment. Operating at the intersection
of the entertainment and interactivity, communication and content
industries, social media entertainment creators have harnessed
these platforms to generate new kinds of content separate from the
century-long model of intellectual property control in the
traditional entertainment industry. Social media entertainment has
expanded rapidly and the traditional entertainment industry has
been forced to cede significant power and influence to content
creators, their fans, and subscribers. Digital platforms have
created a natural market for embedded advertising, changing the
worlds of marketing and communication in their wake. Combined,
these factors have produced new, radically shifting demands on the
entertainment industry, posing new challenges for screen regimes,
media scholars, industry professionals, content creators, and
audiences alike. Stuart Cunningham and David Craig chronicle the
rise of social media entertainment and its impact on media
consumption and production. A massive, industry-defining study with
insight from over 100 industry insiders, Social Media Entertainment
explores the latest transformations in the entertainment industry
in this time of digital disruption.
