“…Net neutrality has come under threat, audience attention has increasingly shifted to the more restrictive logic of mobile applications, the democratic and formerly amateur YouTube is being populated by professionally run channels, 4 and Google and Apple have become this century's corporate behemoths. These developments suggest that the digital revolution may have been most effective at helping us to exchange one media industry for another, a fear expressed by Russell et al (2008). Despite the seemingly grassroots efforts behind recent objections to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act, the public battle over this proposed intellectual property legislation in Congress might be better understood as the first major political clash between Silicon Valley and Hollywood (Crowley 2012;Wortham and Sengupta 2012).…”

Keywords comic books convergence culture copyright creative labor fandom media industries Media Studies 2.0 new media history participatory culture Visit IJLM.net AbstractArguing that comic book culture has been one of convergence for many decades, this essay examines the history of this once dominant pop cultural form to reflect on current debates around new media. With a focus on three eras within the comic book industry, the author gleans five lessons for today's media practitioners, theorists, and educators. The author is especially interested in the gradual institutionalization of new media and in the impact and importance of fans. Ultimately this brief history of the comic book industry recommends for the contemporary moment a more cautious approach to new media and new media studies than some of the utopian rhetoric of the last decade has offered, with a greater emphasis on fair labor practices and movement toward an appropriate legal regime.

“…The emergence of social media has contributed to the emergence of a participatory culture characterized as an amateur, non-market-based, corporate network to produce and share cultures, niches, and special groups (Russell et al 2008). Social media transforms monologues into social dialogue (Botha & Mills 2012).…”

“…To answer these questions, we use a social media activism framework within the social media platform. Social media helps the emergence of a participatory culture in a niche and individual group by transforming monologues into social dialogue so that these particular and individual groups' voices can be articulated to the broader community (Botha & Mills 2012, Jackson & Welles 2015, Russell et al 2008.…”

Netizens often use social media as a medium for activism, including Indonesia’s Migrant Workers (IMWs). Social media with networked characteristics has succeeded in lifting narratives in particular groups that have not been heard a lot and have escaped mainstream media scrutiny. Starting from the development of communication between IMWs, we raise the extent to which IMWs use social media as a medium for social activism, especially for IMWs protection issues and social media’s main content uploaded IMWs. This study aims to analyze to what extent social media is used by IMWs for social activism related to issues concerning the protection of migrant workers and what influences their behavior when using social media. We use a social media activism framework within the social media platform. Researchers collected data from March-October 2019 through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and focused discussions that presented 15 representatives from assistants, NGOs, and academics in Malang. There were also 25 IMWs representatives with placement experience in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia. We found that the majority of IMWs use social media as a means of communicating between themselves and their families in the country; however, social media content for social activism is low, especially for the issue of IMWs protection. The culture and legal system in the countries of origin and destination countries influence the low level of participation in the content they create. IMWs is placed in a country with a more open culture, where local laws are more apparent in the protection of IMWs, so IMW’s social media content is more open and willing to provide testimony on the problems that exist around them and vice versa. Therefore, although social media is massive among IMWs, it is not linear with content production that leads to protection.

“…Los nuevos arreglos que afectan al periodismo para alcanzar máxima eficiencia y cobertura pueden ser entendidos como parte de esta comprensión específica de la convergencia (Salaverría 2008, entre otros), un debate bastante bien documentado sobre los efectos profesionales en el periodismo como profesión. (Cooke, 2005;Lim, 2010;Mitchelstein y Boczkowski, 2013;Robinson, 2011;Russell et al, 2008). Otros términos, como Post-TV, o "convergencia internet-televisión" (Campbell, 2011), remiten tanto a una convergencia del tipo de servicios, como a las innovaciones expresivas que toman las oportunidades creadas por la Internet como pretexto para explorar nuevas formas de contar historias, mediante experiencias que a veces pueden ser anatemas para los dedicados a un medio expresivo específico como el cine, como lo discute Beugnet (2013).…”

RESUMEN:La discusión sobre convergencia, representada en variedad de campos académicos relacionados con la comunicación, no ha incluido la producción y el consumo de contenidos, a pesar de la relativa abundancia de referencias a los mismos en documentos empresariales y de política pública en el Perú. Esta situación se aborda proponiendo una definición de convergencia que analiza sus manifestaciones específicas, intentando establecer cómo esta afecta la viabilidad de las industrias mediáticas y la formulación de políticas de comunicación. Se revisa los modelos propuestos para entender la convergencia, y se propone una interpretación que sirva para comprender la convergencia como fenómeno social y cultural.Palabras clave: Convergencia, Industria de Medios, Medios peruanos, Internet en el Perú, Telecomunicaciones en el Perú ABSTRACT: Discussion on convergence, represented in a variety of academic fields related to communication, has not included production and consumption of content, notwithstanding the relative abundance of references to convergence in Peruvian business and government papers. This is addressed by drafting a definition of convergence analyzing its specific manifestation, trying to generalize how it affects the viability of media industries and the definition of communication policy. Models of convergence are analyzed and an interpretation that helps to understand convergence as a social and cultural phenomenon is proposed.
