The concepts of Native American cultural continuance and agency have become critical elements of both preserving, sharing, and extending the culture of Indigenous Americans into the future. Digital media platforms offer Native American nations a new opportunity to reach both a Native audience and society at large and contradict traditional media's cultural stereotypes and misrepresentation. Therefore, this qualitative content analysis of Cherokee Nation digital media explores what elements of cultural continuance and cultural agency are found in biographical digital storytelling. Using the key concepts extracted from the literature (visibility, envisioning a future, creative authority and autonomy, authenticity, and disrupting dominant norms) as the focus, six themes emerged from Cherokee Nation articles and documentaries.

In 2020, the Release the Pressure Campaign, a joint public health campaign was started to address the high rates of heart disease, and particularly hypertension, experienced among Black women in the United States. Through a Critical Discourse Analysis of mass media contents related to the campaign, this study sought to answer how the campaign used race to re-center Black women's heart health. Three discourses were determined, focused on embodiment of racism, self-care and community care, and addressing ways Black women treat heart disease. The discourses indicate the campaign is culturally focused and theoretically set up for success as a race-conscious public health campaign that has been advocated for. Future research is also discussed.

This essay complicates interpretations of digital architectures in online journalism production in terms of journalistic interlopers and intralopers during an age of increased influence of technologists on online news development. While much normative scholarship revolves around social media, metrics, algorithms, artificial intelligence, VR, and other forms of digital innovation applied to journalism, the essay argues that such work must not focus merely on the actions of today's tech-savvy journalism but should interrogate social and cultural relationships at the center of journalistic production so not to as become distracted away from the embedded practices of ideological incorporation that shapes media messages and reproduces inequalities through what and how journalism covers. In the future, as we approach a notion of the Metaverse, scholars must interrogate the long-standing embedding of elite ideologies into the news as journalists collaborate with technologists (or as journalists become technologists), interact (and re-interact) with elite ideologies at accelerating rates in networked societies, and move into new digital realms we have not yet imagined.

Conspiracy theories and their effects have greatly proliferated during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. As in various countries, so in Cyprus, a mobilization of anti-vaxxers organized mainly through Facebook, violently attacked the largest media group of the island, “Sigma”. Taking into consideration local peculiarities and historical contexts, a qualitative research was conducted on comments posted on Sigma Live's Facebook page, spanning between August 2020 and June 2021.The article illustrates how cultural, political, and historical peculiarities are instrumental in the formation of anti-vax movements, and how conspiracy theorizing in general is inextricably bound to such peculiarities. We demonstrate how new publics in social media platforms may dispute media outlets’ representations through using the official channels of these outlets, highlighting an understudied facet of participatory media. The paper advocates for more context-bound theoretical analyses of conspiracy theorizing, which delve deeper into the meaning-making, interpretative, and discursive practices of conspiracists against media outlets.
在新冠肺炎大流行危机期间,阴谋论及其影响激增。与其他国家一样,在塞浦路斯,主要通过脸书组织的反疫苗者动员暴力袭击了该岛最大的媒体集团“西格玛”。考虑到当地的特点和历史背景,在2020年8月至2021年6月期间,对Sigma Live Facebook页面上发布的评论进行了定性研究。这篇文章阐述了文化、政治和历史特点如何在反vax运动的形成中发挥作用,以及阴谋论是如何与这些特性密不可分的。我们展示了社交媒体平台上的新公众如何通过使用这些媒体的官方渠道来质疑这些媒体的陈述,突出了参与式媒体研究不足的一面。本文主张对阴谋论进行更多的语境理论分析,深入探讨阴谋论者对媒体的意义制造、解释和话语实践。

This study expands the concept of motherhood as a social construction, grounded in Jung’s Great Mother and the Terrible Mother archetypes, to the context of medical communications. By analyzing 254 mothers’ responses to an online survey, we determined the primary themes in their recollections of medical professionals’ communications identified by the participants as having affected their sense of stress related to “good mother” norms. Some of the statements recalled by participants enforced socially constructed norms; others challenged the normativity of intensive mothering or encouraged mothers to parent on their own terms. The findings reinforce the notion that a mother's perceived failure to rise to the standards of a “good mother,” and the resulting guilt and shame, are part of an ever-evolving normative system that is frequently, though unwittingly, upheld by those it oppresses.

Golf is a global game that is dominated by technology. Even in times of economic hardship, golfers flock to golf courses around the world, and the golf industry continues to churn out advancements in golf technology with the promise of making players better and the game more enjoyable. Nonetheless, golf has its barriers and challenges. For example, it is a game that is exclusive, expensive, requires a lot of time, and puts a strain on the environment. Grounded in Media Ecology Theory, this article examines the relationship between golf and technology by taking a McLuhanesque trip to the world of TopGolf, the popular chain of electronic driving range entertainment centers, and arguing that TopGolf demonstrates one way in which technology is being used to make the game more accessible, affordable, and sustainable.

This is a cross-national comparative study of how media in Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa reconstructed their operations in response to Covid-19 global pandemic. The study is grounded in a qualitative research design that uses semi-structured interviews with journalists from Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa. The study investigated how news operations, newsroom cultures, news gathering, and news dissemination practices were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Informed by the sociology of news production theoretical lens, the study noted that journalists and editors were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic which ensured they change some journalistic practices. The findings of this study reveal that journalists suffered traumatic experiences such as job losses, covid-19 related illness and fatalities. At a regulatory level, findings confirm the perennial challenges with media freedoms in the region with South Africa remaining a lone outlier. Lastly, interviews with journalists further demonstrate that newsrooms have had to maximise digital affordances for news gathering and dissemination as old revenue streams dried up. As a result, print media scaled back in its operations as a response to containing the spread of the virus.

Screen Shots by Rebecca L. Stein is a book about political dreams and their breakdowns tied to digital photography in the fi rst two decades of the twenty- fi rst century. By con-ducting interviews and ethnographic observations, Stein shows how those dreams were shaped in the hands of various and opposite groups and how they were broken down by various obstacles in the way of those dreams. This book is about the story of dreams ’ failures for various groups from Palestinian video activists to the Israeli military. Palestinian video activists and human rights workers failed when the results were more restrictions, repressive military policy, and an endless cycle of violence with different audiences ’ framing from what they expected. The Israeli military failed since their pho-tographs faced a narratively stronger opponent whose pain was a reminder of colonial times. This book is a must-read for scholars of political and international communication interested in the dialectic of media and political dreams. While this book indicates we are moving forward in the pursuit of social justice with widespread media devices, it also shows that there are no political guarantees for winning the reality. The fi rst chapter of the book is about the memories of two Israeli soldiers, Noam and Eitan, who served in the West Bank in the waning years of the second Palestinian uprising and brutal military crackdown. One of them photographed for personal ends and the other served as his unit ’ s of fi cial camera operator. Later, both of them became the founding members of the Israeli anti-occupation NGO, Breaking the Silence. This NGO was founded by former Israeli combatants who were radicalized by the brutality military service. This chapter shows how these soldiers were changed during their service only regarding their photography also regarding the that recruited Years later, soldiers gured
丽贝卡·l·斯坦(Rebecca L. Stein)的《截屏》(Screen Shots)是一本关于21世纪头二十年中与数码摄影有关的政治梦想及其崩溃的书。通过访谈和人种学观察,斯坦因展示了这些梦想是如何在不同和相反的群体手中形成的,以及它们是如何被实现梦想的各种障碍所打破的。这本书是关于梦想失败的故事,从巴勒斯坦的视频活动家到以色列军队。巴勒斯坦的视频活动人士和人权工作者失败了,因为结果是更多的限制、压制性的军事政策,以及无休止的暴力循环,不同的观众从他们的期望中构建了不同的框架。以色列军队失败了,因为他们的照片面对的是一个叙事上更强大的对手,这个对手的痛苦让人想起殖民时代。这本书是对媒体和政治梦想的辩证法感兴趣的政治和国际传播学者的必读之作。虽然这本书表明我们正在通过广泛的媒体设备追求社会正义,但它也表明,没有政治保证可以赢得现实。这本书的第一章是关于两名以色列士兵诺姆和埃坦的回忆,他们在第二次巴勒斯坦起义和残酷的军事镇压的最后几年在约旦河西岸服役。其中一人为个人目的拍照,另一人担任他所在部队的官方摄像师。后来,他们都成为以色列反占领非政府组织“打破沉默”的创始成员。这个非政府组织是由前以色列战斗人员创立的,他们被残酷的军事服务激怒了。这一章展示了这些士兵在服役期间是如何改变的,只是关于他们的摄影,也关于多年后招募的士兵
