Convergence, participatory culture, multimedia technologies, and
social media platforms are creating new communicative opportunities
that fundamentally influence citizenship and journalism. Social
media present a staggering breadth of legal and ethical matters to
consider. The limits and laws of free expression in this new media
landscape are beginning to emerge both domestically and
internationally, causing us to ask the following questions: How do
we conceive of privacy? Should the law protect citizen journalists?
How do social media affect ethical obligations of journalists and
public relations professionals? These are just a few of the issues
raised by the new social media landscape. Myriad standards of
professional ethics command compliance in order for various media
industries to function. Scholarly researchers of social media have
not yet focused on the rights of expression and ethical obligations
of the new media environment. This volume will address the scope
and nature of this developing environment of expression with
chapter topics ranging from privacy, cyber-bullying, and harassment
to defamation, intellectual property rights, and online safety.
The studies in this volume support certain common, perhaps
universal conclusions about heroes: All cultures have them; all
cultures need them; who or what is considered heroic may vary from
culture to culture; the heroes of a culture reflect or define
culture values; communication is at the heart of hero creation and
maintenance. The array of topics associated with heroes is vast in
this global, post September 11th, modern media environment. This
volume provides a survey and hopefully stimulates consideration of
continuity and change with regard to heroes. ""Heroes in a Global
World"" is concerned with the role communication processes,
practices, and technologies play in developing the form and
function of the contemporary hero.
This book explores the notion that the push toward marketization is
the central force currently restructuring the communications
landscape and examines the consequences of this development for the
constitution of public culture. The contributors analyze the core
institutional processes of marketization and assess their impact on
the structure and operations of media and communication systems
around the world over the last two decades. The chapters are
organized over four key themes - consolidation, incorporation,
globalization and resistance.
The first edition of Real Law @ Virtual Space explored the
historical and ever-changing aspects of the regulation of
communication in cyberspace. Much has changed in the intervening
four years as legislators, service providers, consumers and courts
grapple with fundamental principles and nuances of regulation,
particularly as daily social, political, economic and commercial
life moves increasingly into cyberspace. The second edition of this
volume addresses the foundation of regulation while reporting on
the most current evolving regulatory measures. The technology of
communication challenges developments in applicable laws governing
rights of privacy, free expression, and liability. Specifically,
developments in such areas as obscenity, libel, copyright and
intellectual property, linking liability, and cybercrime are
considered. In addition, the volume examines existing law and
explores the issues that will require legislative and judicial
attention in the near future as the law develops and focuses upon
communicative rights and liabilities. The volume focuses on
developments within the United States, but it also deals with the
challenges to jurisdiction in transnational cyberspace.
