D #8 HW #4 - Understanding Media Revolution: How Digitalization is to be Considered - 1 views

  •  
    This article provides an additional perspective of the "media revolution."  In its ability to transmit knowledge, a medium is a catalyst to open up new possibilities and perspectives to its audience. The media revolution took place when digitalization became a global and universal process. It is also described here as "irreversible;" it involves a great deal of change at the economic, social, political, and cultural levels of a society. This article also covers the process of shifting into a more computerized state; the first stage, for example, involves adapting traditional tasks from the old medium to the new. From there, the people speculate about the future.

D# 8 HW# 4New Media, Old Media | Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ) - 0 views

  •  
    This page is a study on the relationship between new social media (internet) and old (traditional press). It is interesting to see the comparison of the statistics. It clearly shows why new social media has revolutionized the social media world. Blogs, Twitter, etc change top stories every day. Traditional press can have the same story for weeks. Politics on blogs is prominent however the latest technology is the top ranked subject on new social media sites of course.

Virtual Communities - M/Cyclopedia of New Media - 2 views

  • There are virtual communities representing everything from intense one-on-one encounters, people interested in gardening, political and environmental lobbyists to political prisoners (Rosenberg, 2004, p.612). The uses are diverse but all virtual communities on some level provide an interactive forum for communication between its users. The level of communication is often directly related to 1: the needs of the users and 2: the specific purpose of the particular virtual community. Most virtual communities have at least one of three main purposes: either to network and collaborate, provide emotional support or to improve quality of life (Joinson, 2003, p.169)

      This is exactly what the article was saying about the different reasons people use virtual communities.
  • The term ‘virtual community’ was first cited as commonplace by Howard Rheingold, to define the online cultures of those engaging in computer-mediated communication (CMC), establishing “alternative planetary information networks�? (Rheingold quoted in Flew, 2005, p. 62). This was made possible due to the three interrelated components of CMC: the construction of social networks and social capital, the sharing of knowledge and information, and the facilitation of new forms of democratic participation in society (Flew, 2005, p. 62)

      They talked about Rheingold and quoted him in the article as one of the first persons to study virtual communities, an activist entrpreneur

      Invention? Meaning to make things up???

      The most important part I felt was the three appeals to the audience.
  • Rhetoric is the art of using language to communicate effectively
    • Evan Richardson
       
      This definition hits all the points
  • Public relations, lobbying, law, marketing, professional and technical writing, and advertising are modern professions that employ rhetorical practitioners
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Theorists generally agree that a significant reason for the revival of the study of rhetoric was the renewed importance of language and persuasion in the increasingly mediated environment of the 20th century (see Linguistic turn) and through the 21st century, with the media focus on the wide variations and analyses of political rhetoric and its consequences. The rise of advertising and of mass media such as photography, telegraphy, radio, and film brought rhetoric more prominently into people's lives. Reflecting this, more recently the term rhetoric has been applied to media forms other than verbal language, e.g. Visual rhetoric. The goal is to analyze how non-verbal communication persuades. For example, a soft drink advertisement showing an image of young people drinking and laughing is making the case that the consumer, by using the product, will be healthy and happy.

      Just as the book defines rhetoric and also mentions Aristotle. Although WikiPedia goes more into detail about rhetoric.

Resolving Workplace Problems - 1 views

      Looks a lot like the PSA. Workplace problems will arise int the workplace and when the do the proper actions and documentations has to be taken as it says in step 8. This is a fun comparison and something to think about.

    Hi Norma, This is the website for me! You are correct that workplace problems will arise as long as humans work. It is not always easy knowing what the proper way is to resolve problems. If we handle them incorrectly, they lead to even bigger problems yikes. So I read through this entire website and I learned a lot from it. I will be using this a lot with regards to my work (and the not-so-nice-politics that goes on in it, unfortunately). Thanks for sharing this valuable resource. ---Valerie Cooper
