TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an international perspective on how new media technologies are shifting the parameters of debates about journalism ethics.

Abstract: This article provides an international perspective on how new media technologies are shifting the parameters of debates about journalism ethics. It argues that new, mixed media help create an “open media ethics” and offers an exploration of how these developments encourage a transition from a closed professional ethics to an ethics that is the concern of all citizens. The relation between an open media ethics and the idea of a global fifth estate, facilitated by global online media, is explored. The article concludes by providing suggestions for key normative conditions that could guide media ethics in this new media world.

TL;DR: The authors examines the use of digital media in the field of diplomacy and how countries are utilizing these tools in the pursuit of their foreign policies, and argues that countries cannot afford to be left behind in this era of digital diplomacy as they can greatly benefit from these emerging diplomatic trends.
Abstract: The Internet revolution has affected all aspects of life, including International relations. Diplomacy as a tool of foreign policy has also been transformed by this revolution. This paper examines the concept of digital diplomacy, focusing on the use of digital media in the field of diplomacy and how countries are utilizing these tools in the pursuit of their foreign policies. It examines the opportunities and challenges these media offer for diplomatic activities, and argues that countries cannot afford to be left behind in this era of digital diplomacy as they can greatly benefit from these emerging diplomatic trends. Digital diplomacy and Internet activities as a whole can greatly assist in projecting a state’s foreign policy positions to domestic and foreign audiences.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on how youth use multiple forms of media and technology, in concert with their commitments to community dialogue and social justice, as they learn to be participants in civic and democratic practices.
Abstract: Innovations in technology are, once again, shaping how adults and youth interact with each other in school, at home, and at large. Our focus in this chapter is on how youth use multiple forms of media and technology, in concert with their commitments to community dialogue and social justice, as they learn to be participants in civic and democratic practices. We share two case studies that revolve around youth–adult interactions in learning environments that offer youth real opportunities to be influential in their respective communities. We look firstly at youth media production in the context of a community-based media arts project, and secondly at how young people use technology in the course of their work as student representatives on their local school board. Our aim in this context is to understand how digital media are used in relation to what we shall call social and cultural technologies, those tools that organize social participation in particular settings.1 Our definition of the word technology is consistent with Raymond Williams’s view:

TL;DR: The New Digital Shoreline of higher education is defined by as mentioned in this paper, where the authors argue that failure to chart its contours, and adapt, poses a major threat to higher education as we know it.
Abstract: Two seismic forces beyond our control the advent of Web 2.0 and the inexorable influx of tech-savvy Millennials on campus are shaping what Roger McHaney calls The New Digital Shoreline of higher education. Failure to chart its contours, and adapt, poses a major threat to higher education as we know it.These forces demand that we as educators reconsider the learning theories, pedagogies, and practices on which we have depended, and modify our interactions with students and peersall without sacrificing good teaching, or lowering standards, to improve student outcomes. Achieving these goals requires understanding how the indigenous population of this new shoreline is different. These students arent necessarily smarter or technologically superior, but they do have different expectations. Their approaches to learning are shaped by social networking and other forms of convenient, computer-enabled and mobile communication devices; by instant access to an over-abundance of information; by technologies that have conferred the ability to personalize and customize their world to a degree never seen before; and by time-shifting and time-slicing.As well as understanding students assumptions and expectations, we have no option but to familiarize ourselves with the characteristics and applications of Web 2.0essentially a new mind set about how to use Internet technologies around the concepts of social computing, social media, content sharing, filtering, and user experience.Roger McHaney not only deftly analyzes how Web 2.0 is shaping the attitudes and motivations of todays students, but guides us through the topography of existing and emerging digital media, environments, applications, platforms and devices not least the impact of e-readers and tablets on the future of the textbook and the potential they have for disrupting teacher-student relationships; and, if appropriately used, for engaging students in their learning.This book argues for nothing less than a reinvention of higher education to meet these new realities. Just adding technology to our teaching practices will not suffice. McHaney calls for a complete rethinking of our practice of teaching to meet the needs of this emerging world and envisioning ourselves as connected, co-learners with our students.
