By adapting citizen diplomacy as one of diplomatic practices, this study presents the evolution of vlogging that has been happened by incorporating the condition of social media and South Korea’s cultural resources. For doing so, this study will use grounded theory as methodology and will use in-depth interviews, articles in media, as well as publications that are relevant as the sources of the study. Based on data that has been acquired, this thesis found that there are three major evolution on vlogging South Korea. On explaining the three categorization, one particular time in the history of YouTube and South Korea’s culture serves as the defining time. The three categorizations are: the nature of YouTube Partner Program and how the program has been changed throughout the years, the attractiveness for vloggers to start their activities, and the type of user-generated content that vloggers produce. By seeing the evolution and reffering to the definition of citizen diplomacy, vlogging fit the characteristics of citizen diplomacy.The finding of this thesis, which is to give meaning and understanding on citizen diplomacy, will be useful both for academia and practitioners of diplomacy, as well as general public.

  • Web 2.0 and Public Diplomacy Hannes R. Richter University Of
    Web 2.0 and Public Diplomacy Hannes R. Richter University of Innsbruck The effectiveness of public diplomacy is measured in minds changed, not Dollars spent or slick production packages. - Joseph S. Nye, Jr. This research is supported by a stipend of the Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation, Vienna, Austria 2 Introduction Scholarly interest in the role of the Internet and its applications in political communication has been growing rapidly over the past years and has reached ultimate prominence with the presidential campaign of Barack Obama. The web’s role in international political communication and specifically as a tool of public diplomacy only recently began capturing wider audiences. Particularly with the rise of the social web and prominent applications like Facbook and Twitter, scholars and practitioners of public diplomacy alike became interested in how those tools can be used in the practice of public diplomacy. Recent developments have brought Twitter to the forefront of the debate; events surrounding protests in the aftermath of the Iranian election in what has been called the Twitter Revolution (e.g. Berman 2009) have been more and more communicated through tweets and other new media channels than the regular media. This comes as no surprise as the Iranian regime tried to hinder communications and reporting on the events to the outside world, but (so far) did not manage to get a full handle on these new communication channels. The importance of the new tools has been recognized by government officials on numerous occasions; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked Twitter to postpone system maintenance so Iranians could continue to feed information through it (Shater 2009).

Under this view, copyright holders are at the center of the copyright universe and exercise considerable control over their exclusive rights, with the expectation that others seek prior permission for all uses of copyrighted works outside of a fair use. Though pervasive, this conventional view of copyright is wrong. The Copyright Act is riddled with gray areas and gaps, many of which persist over time, because so few copyright cases are ever filed and the majority of those filed are not resolved through judgment.

  • Scrutinizing the Term Social Media Influencer from a Public Perspective and Examining Its Role in the Modern Media Landscape
    Redefining Influencers: Scrutinizing the Term Social Media Influencer from a Public Perspective and Examining its Role in the Modern Media Landscape Bachelor Thesis Media and Communication Studies Institution of Media studies, JMK Stockholm University MKand Fall 2017 Author: Gustaf Petersen Supervisor: Elitsa Ivanova Abstract This paper explores how influencers can be categorised using a self-administered questionnaire. In doing so, the study can contribute to an understanding of the phenomenon that is more extensive than what previous research has attributed. The focus of this paper is on how influencers can be better understood for the benefit of public relations (PR), marketing, and communication. The purpose of this project is to investigate whether the term influencers (short for social media influencers) are defined by scholars in a similar fashion to how the study sample categorises influencers. Thus, the research question of the study is to examine if the study sample finds the term influencer applicable to the five suggested categories that are stated in the survey. The results from this study show that scholars commonly confine the phenomenon of influencers to bloggers, vloggers, and instagrammers. However, the results from the survey indicate that the study sample has a broader perception of the phenomenon. According to the participants, all suggested categories are fitting the term influencer, namely: blogger/vlogger/instagrammer, celebrity, athlete, entrepreneur, politician. Although the latter, politician, is deemed the least fitting category. Thus, the findings in the study show that there is a discrepancy between the public perception of how to define influencers and previous research in the field. This implicates that public relation practitioners need to rethink how they perceive and apply influencer marketing.

  • Defining SNS Diplomacy with Four Modes of Online Diplomatic Participation
    International Journal of Communication 14(2020), 3885–3902 1932–8036/20200005 Facebook Not Statebook: Defining SNS Diplomacy with Four Modes of Online Diplomatic Participation Q. ELYSE HUANG University of Texas at Austin, USA Researchers have yet to bring definitional clarity to public diplomacy in the digital context. It is unclear whether digital diplomacy, an all-encompassing concept, always happens in the public domain. For social-networking-service (SNS) assisted public diplomacy engagements, I hereby propose “SNS diplomacy” as a new conceptual container. In SNS diplomacy, public participation is an essential component, which I conceptualize as online diplomatic participation. This article summarizes four modes of participation: expression, interaction, membership, and campaign, a framework built on online political participation research. The concept focuses on the flow of dialogue and action between diplomatic and individual actors, to which social platforms offer indispensable support. Voters may participate in domestic politics offline, but most individual actors can influence diplomatic actors only online. I argue that individuals’ online participation is significant in the diplomatic scene and that scholars should look beyond the number of retweets and comments when evaluating such behaviors and resultant impacts. Keywords: SNS diplomacy, public diplomacy, digital diplomacy, online political participation, social media The debate on the definition of digital diplomacy is ongoing. When David Cameron, the then British Prime Minister, personally responded to questions raised by his followers on Chinese social media, it was apparently a public diplomacy case with a digital approach. But when the French Foreign Ministry annotated the White House’s Twitter video and rebuked the administration’s criticism of the Paris Agreement, was that also digitalized public diplomacy? Or was it simply e-diplomacy among diplomatic actors? When conceptualizing digital diplomacy, scholars have debated whether public participation always plays a part.

This de rigueur ensemble of the 90’s has been revamped into today’s Normcore. A Normcore enthusiast is someone who has mastered the coolness and individuality of fashion and is now interested in blending in. Purpose: The goal of this research was to understand the cultural relevance of the fashion trend Normcore, its subsequent relationship to fashion and identity, as well as what it reveals about contemporary Western culture and the communicative abilities of fashion.
