“This is a well-edited, a well-edited, coherent and rich collection of research essays about vulnerability and resilience of people trying to reach social and digital inclusion in six continents of the world.” - Jan van Dijk, Emeritus professor of Communication Science at the University of Twente and author of The Network Society, 4th Ed. (2020) and The Digital Divide (2020) Vulnerable People and Digital Inclusion is impressive in both its systematic analysis of technological and social inequalities, as well as its wide-ranging perspectives and global populations of interest. - Dr. Meryl Alper, Associate Professor, Department of Communication Studies, Northeastern University This edited collection explores the role of digital inclusion in the welfare and social inclusion of vulnerable people. With interdisciplinary contributors from six continents, working in diverse fields such as digital media studies, social computing, community informatics and cultural studies, the collection brings together theoretical and applied research evidence on three vulnerable population categories: ethnic minorities, older people and people with disabilities. Each section is accompanied by a critical commentary on the research insights presented, from third sector community and policy experts. The collection explores whether vulnerable populations face similar experiences and challenges in relation to their digital inclusion status, stressing the central presence of intersectionality, and arguing for the inclusion of the age, ethnicity/immigration status and disability aspects of one’s identity. At the same time, it argues for multi-directional action that tackles intersectional discrimination in the digital realm on behalf of more than one single population category or group. Challenging popular discourse on the overcoming of digital inequalities in the West, this essential book contends that accounts of non-western contexts do not focus on the parameter of vulnerability or on particular population groups.

Panayiota has published widely on the role of vulnerable and ordinary people as digital media actors.

This book takes a human-centred and concept-led journey through communication theory and is aimed primarily at those who are new to communication studies. Each chapter uses a single concept - actors, narrators, members, performers, influencers, and produsers - to explore key ideas, theories, and thinkers. The six core concepts offer unique, though related, ways of thinking about "flesh and blood" human communicators in a world that is now fundamentally intertwined with media. Each chapter includes a mix of early and recent studies to enable readers to historically locate concepts and trace their evolution. Overall, the book aims to foster an appreciation of theory in readers, cultivate their theoretical sensitivity, and provide them with lots of "real world" examples to help them better understand how theories apply to everyday life. Neil O'Boyle is Associate Professor at the School of Communications, Dublin City University, Ireland. He teaches across a range of subjects, including communication theory, psychology, and advertising, and his research examines the interrelationships between media, popular culture, and collective identities. His most recent book is Sport, the Media and Ireland: Interdisciplinary Perspectives (2020). .

Media publishers produce news for a full range of smart devices - including smartphones, tablets and watches. Combining theory and practice, Mobile-First Journalism examines how audiences view, share and engage with journalism on internet-connected devices and through social media platforms. The book examines the interlinked relationship between mobile technology, social media and apps, covering the entire news production process - from generating ideas for visual multimedia news content, to skills in verification and newsgathering, and outputting interactive content on websites, apps and social media platforms. These skills are underpinned with a consideration of ethical and legal concerns involving fake news, online trolling and the economics of mobile journalism. Topics include: understanding how mobile devices, social media platforms and apps are interlinked; making journalistic content more engaging and interactive; advice on how successful news publishers have developed mobile and social media strategies; adopting an approach that is entrepreneurial and user-centered; expert interviews with journalists, academics and software developers; learning key skills to launch and develop news websites, apps and social media outputs. Mobile-First Journalism is essential reading for journalism students and media professionals and of interest to those studying on courses in social and new media.Bron : http://www.bol.com

Dealing with digitality is one of the most urgent challenges of the present. The increasing importance and spread of computer technology not only challenges societies and individuals - this development also puts pressure on the concept of digitality, which tries to grasp the totality and peculiarity of the conditions and consequences of electronic digital computing (in all its forms). However, precisely because digitality is commonplace, so should be its critique, its analysis and assessment.How can an analysis do justice to both fundamental characteristics and changing concrete forms, infrastructures, and practices? How do the developments of a digitalization that programmatically encompasses forms of networking, embedding, and autonomization shape media, cultures, and societies? How do "artificial intelligence" and "algorithmic government" relate to each other, how does the immateriality of "the digital" fit with the materiality of computers? How does the changing status and scope of this technology mediate itself? This volume introduces ongoing debates and develops its own approach to the critique of digitality, asking about forms of interfaces and processes of governance. The author Prof. Dr. Jan Distelmeyer teaches media history and theory in the cooperative program European Media Studies at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam and the University of Potsdam. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com).A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation
