Towards an Ontology of the New Hybrid Media System

Politics | Gatewatching and Citizen Journalism | Industrial Journalism | Internet Technologies | Social Media | Twitter | ECPR 2011 |

Reykjavík.
The next paper at ECPR 2011 is by Andrew Chadwick, whose argument is that old and new media scholars often talk past one another, and that political communication scholarship as well as Internet studies need to draw on one another’s ideas more effectively. The interrelationship between old and new media, in particular, needs to be examined more closely. This requires system-level perspectives and a conceptual understanding of power which can be illustrated empirically.

Mapping Out the Next Few Months

Journalism | Social Media | Social Media Network Mapping | New Media and Public Communication (ARC Discovery) | Twitter | Challenge Social Innovation 2011 | ECPR 2011 | Future of Journalism 2011 |

A Few Belated Additions

Social Media | Social Media Network Mapping | New Media and Public Communication (ARC Discovery) | Crisis Communication | Twitter | Conferences | ICE3 2007 | Teaching with Technology |

Hello, blog – it’s been a while. I’m afraid I’ve been a bit slack in updating this site with recent events, so I’ve just made a number of rather belated additions. I’m about to head off to Europe again soon to present at a number of conferences, too (more on that in a separate post shortly), so expect the usual conference blogging again then; for now, though, let’s catch up on some recent news.

Part of my tardiness here is related to the Mapping Online Publics project, which is incredibly active at the moment. It now combines our major ARC …

Social Media in Corporate Communication

Smart Services CRC | Social Media | Twitter | Conferences |

I’m barely back from my trip to Austria for CeDEM and my Twitter research methods seminar at the University of Vienna, as well as my public talk for Quintessenz and the Internet Research Group at the University – but today I also presented a brief talk on using social media in corporate communication at the Cooperative Research Centres Association conference here in Brisbane. CRCs are one key form of government-supported research centre in Australia – and the CRCA is the peak body coordinating and representing their activities.
