Media Archæology: Approaches, Applications, and Implications

Media Archæology: Approaches, Applications, and Implications Review



This book introduces an archaeological approach to the study of media - one that sifts through the evidence to learn how media were written about, used, designed, preserved, and sometimes discarded. Edited by Erkki Huhtamo and Jussi Parikka, with contributions from internationally prominent scholars from Europe, North America, and Japan, the essays help us understand how the media that predate today's interactive, digital forms were in their time contested, adopted and embedded in the everyday. Providing a broad overview of the many historical and theoretical facets of Media Archaeology as an emerging field, the book encourages discussion by presenting a full range of different voices. By revisiting 'old' or even 'dead' media, it provides a richer horizon for understanding 'new' media in their complex and often contradictory roles in contemporary society and culture.

The Social Media Handbook: Rules, Policies, and Best Practices to Successfully Manage Your Organization's Social Media Presence, Posts, and Potential

The Social Media Handbook: Rules, Policies, and Best Practices to Successfully Manage Your Organization's Social Media Presence, Posts, and Potential Review



The Social Media Handbook is a comprehensive risk and compliance management toolkit that walks employers step-by-step through the process of developing and implementing effective social media policy and compliance management programs that are designed to minimize—and in some cases prevent—social networking and web 2.0 risks and other electronic disasters.

Throughout this important resource Nancy Flynn (an internationally recognized expert on workplace social media) offers a guide to best practices for creating safe, effective, and compliant electronic business communications. The book contains a thorough review of the risks inherent in employees' social media use and content and explores how organizations can help manage behavior, mitigate risks, and maximize compliance through the implementation of strategic social media compliance management programs. These programs combine written policies, supported by comprehensive employee education and are enforced by proven-effective technology tools. Once these policies and programs are in place employers can safely take advantage of the marketing and communications benefits offered by social media.

Covering a wealth of material, the book includes vital information on topics such as social media and the law; managing records and e-discovery compliantly; regulatory compliance; privacy and security; blog risks and compliance rules; mobile devices drive social media risks; a seven-step plan for social media policy and compliance management; conducting a social media audit; creating social media policies; content rules and compliance; policy compliance and education; reputation management; and more.

In addition to addressing pertinent topics on risk management, the book contains cautionary, real-life social networking disaster stories that show how organizations can lose revenue and reputations, reveals how employees can lose jobs, and explains how individuals can face public humiliation.

The Social Media Handbook is a hands-on guide written for human resource professionals, information technology managers, legal professionals, compliance officers, records managers, and others who need to manage today's technology tools with up-to-date employment rules.

Blogs y medios. Las claves de una relacion de interes mutuo (Spanish Edition)

Blogs y medios. Las claves de una relacion de interes mutuo (Spanish Edition) Review



Ya desde mediados de los 90 que los blogs no paran de crecer. Pero es desde hace menos tiempo que se convirtieron en una realidad que ha trascendido el ambito de lo personal para tener protagonismo y eficacia en esferas como el periodismo o la comunicacion corporativa. Un nuevo estilo de informar, la experimentacion con nuevos formatos y la consolidacion de una comunidad tan activa como heterogenea. No cabe duda de que la comunidad bloguer, uno de los colectivos mas activos de la Red, ha supuesto un nuevo hito en la relativamente corta historia de Internet. Tenemos incluso investigadores que no dudan en afirmar que los blogs han tenido un impacto similar al nacimiento de la imprenta. Y si a nivel global la revolucion puede ser de esta magnitud, cabe preguntarse por tanto que consecuencias tendra exclusivamente en el ambito del periodismo. Si bien es cierto que hasta la fecha son numerosos los estudios sobre las relaciones entre periodismo y blogs, asi como los relacionados con las posibilidades corporativas de esta herramienta, no encontramos en el primer caso ningun trabajo significativo sobre la posibilidad de que los blogs anticipen nuevos cibergeneros periodisticos, como tampoco vemos entre los otros estudios trabajos que mencionen a los medios como grandes generadores de imagen corporativa. Por eso, comenzando por los blogs como un anticipo de cibergeneros, este texto presenta aquellos blogs que pueden entenderse como una accion corporativa del medio. Y aunque podrian entenderse de esta forma todos los blogs de medios (ya que ayudan a encontrar nuevos nichos de publicos y a reforzar la relacion con los ya existentes), abordaremos como principales bitacoras corporativas de los medios basicamente dos tipos: aquellas en las que se ofrece informacion sobre el propio cibermedio y las que son blogs colectivos elaborados con las aportaciones de la audiencia. A pesar de la juventud de las relaciones entre blogs y medios, o precisamente tal vez por eso, es el momento oportuno para detenernos y mirar fijamente el panorama mediatico presente. Y sobre todo, el que se avecina en un ambito, el periodistico, al que los blogs han llegado para quedarse.
