Abstract: During the period of this study, digital media comprised an increasingly pervasive but still emergent medium in society. Most formal academic, industrial and governmental research into the emergence of digital media industries and innovations focused on technological and software artefacts, to the neglect of content. Such studies subscribed to a distinctly determinist conception of emergence and innovation, regarding them as essentially linear, closed processes, with digital media emerging under an autonomous momentum and causing dramatic changes to society and people's lives. The studies were, in the main, conducted at macro and meso-Ievel, based largely on statistical analysis, and they measured the value of scientific and technical knowledge to innovation. This thesis argues that such approaches are unsuited to the study of the content industry, which remains a distinct domain within the overall digital media sector. Content innovation is marked by important qualitative differences compared to technological innovation, e.g. it is dependent on competencies less tangible than scientific and technical knowledge. A conceptual framework sensitive to such differences is required to form a deeper understanding of the emergence of the digital content industry and the development dynamics of the innovation processes shaping its development. In response to conceptions of closed, linear emergence of both industries and innovations, this thesis argues that emergence and innovation have been multi­ dimensional, multi-directional processes, influenced by many factors (social, economic, organisational, technical) at many levels. The conceptual framework for this study draws on theories and concepts from a number of disciplinary fields. It draws on those traditionally applied to the study of technological innovation within mature industries, and adapted them to the study of content innovation within an early emerging industry. The study seeks to draw on and integrate insights drawn from: a) recent systems of innovation literature, b) science/technology and society studies field (e.g., debates over social shaping and technological determinist theories), as well as c) those drawn from the more familiar communication and media studies field. The empirical aspects of the research have aimed to monitor, describe and analyse rapidly changing developments in this emergent industry since the late 1990s. The study addresses the key trends in the emerging industry at macro, meso and micro­ levels. Part of the study involves an industrial-level analysis in an attempt to better map and understand the unfolding strategies and trends with particular attention to the Irish context. This research project also comprised detailed case studies of the dynamics of innovation within a number of individual digital media companies.

  • 1 the Irish Sunday Newspaper
    1 The Irish Sunday newspaper: its role, character and history JOE BREEN & MARK O’BRIEN In his foreword to his 1967 edited volume, Your Sunday Paper, the British culture critic, Richard Hoggart, noted that ‘though a great deal has been written on the press in general, there is relatively little on the Sunday press in itself’.1 Many more words and volumes have addressed the general topic of newspapers since 1967, but, peculiarly, there remains something of a lacuna regarding study of the history of the Sunday press in Britain or in Ireland. Kevin Williams echoes that sentiment when he notes that the ‘role of Sunday is often neglected in standard histories of the British press, where they appear in a secondary role to the exploits of the daily newspaper’ while Brake, Kaul and Turner argue that the history of press scholarship privileges ‘daily press above all else’.2 This lack of critical scrutiny is all the more surprising when the Sundays have long lorded over their daily competitors in circulation and, some might argue, in influence. In Ireland, for instance, data at the Newsbrands website show that, for the period July to December 2017, daily newspapers in Ireland sold an average of 399,731 copies a day while Sundays recorded 567,600 sales.3 Williams notes that the earliest Sunday newspapers were serious publications and that it was ‘the format of sex, gossip and crime developed by papers such as the News of the World, Reynolds News and Lloyd’s Weekly News which enabled the Sundays to become Britain’s best-selling newspapers from the mid-nineteenth century’.4 He also records that the News of the World reached its sales peak in 1950 when it was calculated that 8.44 million people bought the paper; the highest daily sale recorded was 5.27 million for the Daily Mirror in 1967.5 The oldest Sunday newspaper in these islands, and possibly in the world, is The Observer which was first published in London in December 1791 and was, ‘in varying degrees a scurrilous gossip sheet, government propaganda rag and provocative thorn-in-the- side of the establishment.

  • THE IRISH PUNDITOCRACY AS CONTRARIAN VOICE: Opinion
    THE IRISH PUNDITOCRACY AS CONTRARIAN VOICE : Opinion Coverage of the Workplace Smoking Ban Declan Fahy THE JOURNALISM OF COMMENTATORS and columnists has remained a lacuna in media studies. Their work has received so little sustained critical attention that it has become something of a ‘black box’, even as as the space devoted to opinion coverage in newspapers has expanded significantly over the past three decades (Duff, : ; Bogart, ; Glover, ). The section of the newspaper devoted to opinion journalism has traditionally been the op-ed page, so-called because of its usual placement opposite the section containing editorials. Viewed as a forum for the articulation of diverse viewpoints about current social issues, the page aims to provide a space in the ‘marketplace of ideas’ for the expression of opinions not found in news and editorial sections of newspapers (Salisbury, cited in Day and Golan, : ). This page has been virtually ignored in mass communications research, however. (Day and Golan, ; Ciofalo and Traverso, ). The few topics addressed in studies of op-ed content have included the advertisements printed there (Brown et al., ), the public relations strategies used to argue stances on specific issues (Smith and Heath, ) and the political preferences between publishers and editorial page editors (Kapoor and Kang, ). A study that examined the op-ed pages of the Washington Post and the New York Times found limited diversity in the selection of sources and stances in discussions of gay marriages, affirmative action and the death penalty (Day and Golan, ). There has been little critical agreement on how to define more precisely the collective of opinion writers that contribute to the op-ed page.

  • The Story of My Encounters with the Historical Giants of Miami County, Indiana a Creative Project
    -. The Story of My Encounters with the Historical Giants of Miami County, Indiana A Creative Project (HONRS 499) by Holly A. Bakehorn Thesis Advisor: Dr. Daryl B. Adrian Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 1998 Expected Date of Graduation: May 1998 Purpose of Creative Project The purpose of my creative project evolves from my work as an intern at The Miami County Museum in Peru, Indiana. I was selected to write, edit, and produce five videos to be played alongside their coordinating permanent displays. The video scripts were limited to local subjects: the circus, the 1913 flood, the railroad, the Miami Indians (specifically Little Turtle and Frances Slocum), and Cole Porter. Each one gives a short history and their importance to the community. These videos will be used to educate Peru and its visitors about Miami County's rich historical heritage. - -. The Story of My Encounters with the Historical Giants of Miami County, Indiana In the summer of 1997, I accepted an internship at the Miami County Museum in Peru, IN. My assignment was to create, write, edit, and produce scripts for a series of five historical videos. I would be doing all the research and writing, plus choosing all the footage, photos and background music, while a professional person would be hired to do the actual filming. The museum has approximately a hundred visitors a week, and it was hoped that the new videos would help to increase this number. These videos were also important for the museum to update their displays and would considerably help the Miami County Museum compete with the technology of museums around the state.
