“…Vlogs, also known as video blogs, are a form of digital content that typically feature a person or group of people sharing their thoughts, experiences, or information about a particular topic (Ashton and Patel, 2018). They are typically posted on videosharing platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook (Berryman, 2020). Vlogs can cover a wide range of topics, including travel (Cheng et al, 2023), education (Debbag and Fidan, 2021), lifestyle (Lee and Watkins, 2016), social issues (Raby et al, 2018), and technology (Silaban et al, 2022).…”

Recently, there has been a lot of buzz on social media, particularly in the form of vlogs, about newly launched semi-high speed trains in India popularly known as Vande Bharat Express. However, no information is available about the extent to which people trust the vlogs promoting the trains and the trains themselves. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the impact of watching vlogs about semi-high speed trains on the trust and attitude towards them, and how they perceive the risks associated. This study is guided by the trust transfer theory to investigate how trust transference can lead to a traveler’s intent to use semi-high speed trains. This study involved 338 participants. The relationship between variables was examined using SmartPLS 4 software. The findings indicate that trust in semi-high speed trains can be established through vlogs leading to intention to use. On the theoretical side, it provides insight into how trust, attitude, and perceived risk can affect the adoption of new technology, while on the practical side, it helps to understand how vlog coverage can be used as a tool to increase trust and ultimately drive adoption. Vlog coverage, trust in vlog content, trust in semi-high speed trains and behavioural intention altogether are not well understood in current literature despite the important implication for managers, academicians and consumers alike. This study contributes to the field of transportation and railways, social media and communication, and hospitality and tourism research. The study helps policy makers to understand users’ characteristics regarding the latest social media tools and adopt them accordingly to provide a better governance policy.

“…Averaging at a length of between 15-30 minutes, 'Story Time' videos have increasingly been noted for their intimate form of storytelling, with vloggers divulging personal and intimate details about their experiences and lives. This kind of divulging of personal details has been described as a form of affective communication between vlogger and audience, in which the YouTuber forms and produces emotional exchanges through the sharing of personal and often 'juicy' information (Berryman, 2020). In such a way, YouTube lifestyle vlogging and the various video trends users participate in has become a primary communication channel for digital users.…”

“…In particular, the 'Story Time' genre allows individuals to put themselves on camera and talk, to self-express, and participate in community activities through the medium of the vlog itself (Bernard, 2020). In the digital context, YouTube lifestyle vlogging has thus come to represent an increasingly popular means of expression, connection and community in the modern digital age (Berryman, 2020).…”

<div>This MRP explores the contemporary phenomenon of online dating in order to unearth the ways in which these dating experiences are being communicated and expressed online. By analyzing the communication of dissolved online romance as shared on YouTube, this MRP focuses on the concept of, and subsequent discourses surrounding fleeting intimacies in a modern, digital environment. Regarding the study, the author conducted a video content analysis of shared ‘Story Time’ videos on YouTube discussing the experience of being ghosted by a partner via a dating app. Through this research, the author found that the experience of fleeting romance is increasingly taking place in digital environments and expressed through oral storytelling practices. Furthermore, the particular gendered dynamics of the communication of fleeting intimacy are explored, with additional emphasis on the emotions felt and messages communicated with regard to the experience of ghosting. Using the sampled ‘Story Time’ videos as a case study, this MRP describes and analyzes the communication of modern fleeting romance in order to illustrate the increasing phenomenon of YouTube lifestyle vlogging as a form of connection, communication and sharing of intimate experiences in a digital environment.</div>

Affordances and aesthetics of digital media platforms have given politicians new ways to connect with potential voters and actively manage their own self-image. Digital political communication is also often influenced by current trends in PR or commercial marketing; for example, the tools and tactics of social media influencers. Based on qualitative case studies of YouTube channels belonging to two Swedish party leaders, this article examines the adaptation of influencer practices in the politicians’ online presence, and what impact it has on the presentation of themselves and their politics. It analyses how different genres of beauty and lifestyle influencers are embraced and adapted to a political context, as well as the ways in which specific audio-visual elements are used to construct the mediated performance of political authenticity, giving viewers ‘behind-the-scenes’ access to the politicians’ personal as well as professional life. The analysis shows how the adaption of videos in confessional genres such as story time, Q&A, and vlog, which feature personal expressions of emotions and experiences, is illustrative of an increased personalisation of political communication, where the dimension if intimacy is emphasised.
