This volume explores how governments, policymakers and newsrooms
have responded to the algorithmic distribution of the news.
Contributors analyse the ongoing battle between platforms and
publishers, evaluate recent attempts to manage these tensions
through policy reform and consider whether algorithms can be
regulated to promote media diversity and stop misinformation and
hate speech. Chapter authors also interview journalists and find
out how their work is changing due to the growing importance of
algorithmic systems. Drawing together an international group of
scholars, the book takes a truly global perspective offering case
studies from Switzerland, Germany, Kenya, New Zealand, Canada,
Australia, and China. The collection also provides a series of
critical analyses of recent policy developments in the European
Union and Australia, which aim to provide a more secure revenue
base for news media organisations. A valuable resource for
journalism and policy scholars and students, Governing the
Algorithmic Distribution of News is an important guide for anyone
hoping to understand the central regulatory issues surrounding the
online distribution of news.
James Meese argues that there is a growing risk of a
platform-dependent press, a development that threatens
liberal democracies across the world. The book provides the
first comprehensive account of how platform dependence
manifests in the news media sector. Platform dependence is a
concept used to describe what happens when businesses
or an entire sector, become reliant on one or more digital
platforms for its survival. The situation is
occurring across the news industry, to the extent that
it is difficult to imagine the production, distribution, and
long-term survival of news in liberal democracies without
the involvement of platforms. With governments,
regulators and citizens increasingly concerned about
platform power, Digital Platforms and the Press is the
first book to highlight the long-term economic and social
consequences of platform dependence for the news
sector. Featuring a rich selection of case-studies and
written in an accessible style, Digital Platforms and the
Press provides a strong grounding in relevant debates for
the interested student reader, and important takeaways
for subject matter experts in journalism studies and media
policy. Digital Platforms and the Press will be of interest
to journalism and media policy scholars, other scholars in
communication, as well as industry practitioners and policymakers.

An examination of subjectivity in copyright law, analyzing authors,
users, and pirates through a relational framework. In current
debates over copyright law, the author, the user, and the pirate
are almost always invoked. Some in the creative industries call for
more legal protection for authors; activists and academics promote
user rights and user-generated content; and online pirates openly
challenge the strict enforcement of copyright law. In this book,
James Meese offers a new way to think about these three central
subjects of copyright law, proposing a relational framework that
encompasses all three. Meese views authors, users, and pirates as
interconnected subjects, analyzing them as a relational triad. He
argues that addressing the relationships among the three subjects
will shed light on how the key conceptual underpinnings of
copyright law are justified in practice. Meese presents a series of
historical and contemporary examples, from nineteenth-century cases
of book abridgement to recent controversies over the reuse of
Instagram photos. He not only considers the author, user, and
pirate in terms of copyright law, but also explores the
experiential element of subjectivity-how people understand and
construct their own subjectivity in relation to these three subject
positions. Meese maps the emergence of the author, user, and pirate
over the first two centuries of copyright's existence; describes
how regulation and technological limitations turned people from
creators to consumers; considers relational authorship; explores
practices in sampling, music licensing, and contemporary art;
examines provisions in copyright law for user-generated content;
and reimagines the pirate as an innovator.
