    I found this to be a very interesting read that contrasts transnational comunicaions.
  • Shay O'Neill on 01 Sep 10
     
    The reason I liked reading about this resource is that it is relateable to us and shows a direct connection to the concept about transnational communication. This study was about looking how Arab's of middle eastern descent have settled in a large area around Detroit now sit maintain and create connections with their families, heritage, and friends located half the world away. To me this shows a real world application of how this happens and the essay goes on to look at several parts of the communities and how age and technology play roles into this equation as well. While it does not really go into some of the definitions of the textbook I think it is more important with its actually occurrence and discovering what, how, why, and when it is happening in society.

    I like that this article discusses the grow populations of Arab groups, especially in the Detroit area, and how we need to get a better understanding between the two cultures.

    I liked this source because it was about actual research done on transnational communication on site. It was researching mass communication within a transnational social space which was interesting. It wasn't just somebody in America blabbing about ideal communitcation theories from their office, these people did field research for trnasnational mass cmmunication.

    What I gathered from the other websites, this one explains it the simplest. It is when you communicate between more than one country.

      This is a good site to help you as a workplace writer gain an understaning of other religion and to help you construct your document efficiently.

    Religious Tolerance is good website to get information about all types of religions from all over the world. This is meant to help people achieve tolerance to other individual's believes, yet it discuses the points of views of anyone who visits and leaves comments. It could be a good source to, hopefully, both achieve tolerance and research how other religions see the world. This is a good source for transnational communication and considering your audiences' believes.

      The UNESCO as mention in the book 'Technical Communication in the 21st century,' page 106, is a good source to find literacy rates in other countries that can influence a workplace writer's appoach toward a given document, however it is also a good source to learn about cultures. Achieving a better understanding of other cultures and learning to respect and their believes is key to effective transnational communication.

  • New media rely on digital technologies, allowing for previously separate media to converge. Media convergence is defined as a phenomenon of new media and this can be explained as a digital media.“
  • he most prominent example of media convergence is the Internet, whereby the technology for video and audio streaming is rapidly evolving. The term convergence is disputed, with critics such as Lev Manovich pointing out that the 'old' medium of film could be seen as the convergence of written text (titles and credits), photography, animation and audio recording
  • New Media has become a significant element in everyday life. It allows people to communicate, bank, shop and entertain. The global network of the Internet, for instance, connects people and information via computers.[3] In this way the Internet, as a communication medium of New Media, overcomes the gap between people from different countries, permitting them to exchange opinions and information. Diverse means for this exist even within the context of the Internet, including chat rooms, Instant Messaging applications, forums, email messaging, online video and audio streaming and downloads, and voice-over-internet telecommunications. New Media is defined not only as a communication tool, but also as a tool for the commercial exchange of goods and services.[

  • transition to new media has seen a handful of powerful transnational telecommunications corporations who own the majority achieve a level of global influence which was hitherto unimaginable.
  • new media follows the logic of the postindustrial or globalised society whereby 'every citizen can construct her own custom lifestyle and select her idology from a large number of choices. Rather than pushing the same objects to a mass audience, marketing now tries to target each individual separately.'
  • "virtual communities" are being established online and transcend geographical boundaries, eliminating social restrictions. Rheingold (2000) describes these globalised societies as self-defined networks, which resemble what we do in real life. "People in vi
  • rtual communities use words on screens to exchange pleasantries and argue, engage in intellectual discourse, conduct commerce, make plans, brainstorm, gossip, feud, fall in love, create a little high art and a lot of idle talk"
  • New Media has been used extensively by social movements to educate, organize, share cultural products of movements, communicate, coalition build, and more.
  • New media can be defined not only as things you can see such as graphics, moving images, shapes, texts, and such. It is also things that cannot be seen, such as a Wi-Fi connection. Like radio or electricity, no one can see the Wi-Fi waves in the air floating through the air. But the Wi-Fi concept can be considered new media. So new media can be either concept-based, refer to a solid object, or both.
  • Any individual with the appropriate technology can now produce his or her online media and include images, text, and sound about whatever he or she chooses. [27] So the new media with technology convergence shifts the model of mass communication, and radically shapes the ways we interact and communicate with one another.
  • even some forms of digitized and converged media are not in fact interactive at all
  • "the global interactive games industry is large and growing, and is at the forefront of many of the most significant innovations in new media" (Flew 2005: 101). Interactivity is prominent in these online computer games such as World of Warcraft and The Sims. These games, developments of "new media", allow for users to establish relationships and experience a sense of belonging, despite temporal and spatial boundaries. These games can be used as an escape or to act out a desired life. Will Wright, creator of The Sims, "is fascinated by the way gamers have become so attached to his invention-with some even living their lives through it" [30]. New media have created virtual realities that are becoming mere extensions of the world we live in.
  • The advertising industry has capitalized on the proliferation of new media with large agencies running multi-million dollar interactive advertising subsidiaries. In a number of cases advertising agencies have also set up new divisions to study new media. Public relations firms are taking advantage of the opportunities in new media through interactive PR practices.
  • New media can be seen to be a convergence between the history of two separate technologies: media and computing.
  • new media can now be defined as "graphics, moving images, sounds, shapes, spaces, and texts that have become computable; that is, they comprise simply another set of computer data.
  • Flew (2002) stated that as a result of the evolution of new media technologies, globalisation occurs. Globalisation is generally stated as "more than expansion of activities beyond the boundaries of particular nation states".[6] Globalisation shortens the distance between people all over the world by the electronic communication (Carely 1992 in Flew 2002) and Cairncross (1998) expresses this great development as the "death of distance". New media "radically break the connection between physical place and social place, making physical location much less significant for our social relationships" (Croteau and Hoynes 2003: 311).

    This is the best article I've found for this topic. It discusses new media in relation to Manovich's article AND actually interrelates Flew's virtual communities article too! I thought that was pretty cool. It also gives examples of what new media is, and how it is affecting our communities through globalization and social change

    I liked this site because, for one, most people think of communication, they think language through words and speech. This site recognizes something we don't often think of as a form of communication--art. I think that art is just as powerful as words are to get a message across.
