Journalistic Ethics and the Right-Wing Media Jason Mccoy University of Nebraska-Lincoln This paper will examine the development of modern media ethics and will show that this set of guidelines can and perhaps should be revised and improved to match the challenges of an economic and political system that has taken advantage of guidelines such as “objective reporting” by creating too many false equivalencies. This paper will end by providing a few reforms that can create a better media environment and keep the public better informed. As it was important for journalism to improve from partisan media to objective reporting in the past, it is important today that journalism improves its practices to address the right-wing media’s attack on journalism and avoid too many false equivalencies.

  • This Version Has the Raw Data in an Appendix)
    Accepted for publication in 2020 by the International Journal of Communication, ijoc.org (this version has the raw data in an appendix) Podcasting as Public Media: The Future of U.S. News, Public Affairs and Educational Podcasts PATRICIA AUFDERHEIDE American University, USA DAVID LIEBERMAN The New School, USA ATIKA ALKHALLOUF American University, USA JIJI MAJIRI UGBOMA The New School, USA This article identifies a U.S.-based podcasting ecology as public media, and then examines the threats to its future. It first identifies characteristics of a set of podcasts in the U.S. that allow them to be usefully described as public podcasting. Second, it looks at current business trends in podcasting as platformization proceeds. Third, it identifies threats to public podcasting’s current business practices. Finally, it analyzes responses within public podcasting to the potential threats. It concludes that currently, the public podcast ecology in the U.S. maintains some immunity from the most immediate threats, but that as well there are underappreciated threats to it both internally and externally. Keywords: podcasting, public media, platformization, business trends, public podcasting ecology As U.S. podcasting becomes an increasingly commercially-viable part of the media landscape, are its public-service functions at risk? This article explores that question, in the process postulating that the concept of public podcasting has utility in describing, not only a range of podcasting practices, but an ecology within the larger podcasting ecology—one that permits analysis of both business methods and social practices, one that deserves attention and even protection. This analysis contributes to the burgeoning literature on podcasting by enabling focused research in this area, permitting analysis of the sector in ways that permit thinking about the relationship of mission and business practice sector-wide.

    SAM HARRIS INTERVIEW PART FOUR NOTE: This transcript was generated by the service Rev.com, and though it’s quite good, it is imperfect. If you would like to quote anything from this episode you are welcome to! But please find the point in the audio where the quote originates, and verify that the transcript is accurate. If Rev’s transcript is inaccurate, we ask that you only post or publish a version of the quote that you deem correct (because your ears are awesome!). Hello again, Ars Technica listeners. This is the fourth and final installment of a four-part interview with neuroscientist, New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, and controversial public intellectual, Sam Harris. We’ll pick up with the uplifting theme we left off on yesterday. Which is to say, high tech weaponry that tomorrow’s nihilistic, suicidal mass murderers might just use to kill very large numbers of us. Before we get started though, a quick note of orientation. As those of you who listened to last week’s interview with UCSF neuroscientist Adam Gazzaley know, I originally thought this podcast series would be a limited set of just eight episodes connected to my latest science fiction novel, which is also called After On, and which came out last summer. But the podcast acquired a life of its own, and I’m about to publish episode #38 in the series of eight. As you’re about to find out, these first eight episodes have a distinctive format, in that each of them ends with a conversation between me at Tom Merritt - who you might may from CNET, from TechTV, then later from Leo Laporte’s network, and now from Tom’s own videocast, Daily Tech News Show.

  • Responsive Data Table Solution with New Scrolling Control Gesture for Better User Experience
    Responsive Data Table Solution with New Scrolling Control Gesture for Better User Experience Lukáš Čegan1 1 University of Pardubice, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, Department of Information Technology, Pardubice, Czech Republic, [email protected] Abstract. According to available statistics, nowadays more user browse websites on mobile devices than on a desktop computer. This brings new challenges for web developers on how to deal with such a heterogeneous environment of devices. Today, several different solutions are on the market for building responsive data tables. However, these solutions have their limits in the event that the table contains a large number of records. In this paper a new solution is proposed based on a new scroll control gesture and elimination of superfluous loading records. The impacts of the proposed solution to the user experience were investigated through an experiment whose results are presented and discussed in this paper. Keywords: Data table; User Experience; Responsive design 1 Introduction Dynamic development in the mobile technology area, cheaper and more sophisticated devices on the market, faster and achievable communications network, all bring an increasing number of users who access the Internet via mobile devices. According to related statistics, the number of mobile users was greater than desktop users. It brings to web developers a variety of new challenges which deal with design and programming web applications. These applications must be designed for such a large group of diverse devices, while providing a good user experience. Currently, one of the most used approaches to deal with this fact is the application of responsive design.

  • Vertical Integration, Exclusivity and Game Sales Performance in the U.S
    Vertical Integration, Exclusivity and Game Sales Performance in the U.S. Video Game Industry Ricard Gil and Frederic Warzynski∗† October 2013 Abstract This paper empirically investigates the relation between vertical integration and video game per- formance in the US video game industry. For this purpose, we use a widely used data set on video game monthly sales from October 2000 to October 2007. We complement these data with information on video game developers and the timing of all mergers and acquisitions during that period allowing us to separate vertically integrated games from those independent games exclusive to a platform. First, we show that vertically integrated games are associated with higher sales and higher prices than in- dependent games. Second, we explore whether the link between vertical integration and performance in this industry is due to selection or value added. Our results suggest that most of the difference in performance is due to value added from better release strategies and selection from ex-ante differ- ences in video game quality. In our sample of games, post-release marketing strategies do not seem to add value to vertically integrated games. We also find that platform-exclusive independent games are associated with lower demand and higher prices. ∗Ricard Gil is an Assistant Professor at The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and Frederic Warzynski is a Professor at Aarhus University.

    SPI Podcast Session #188– Patreon – A Potential Alternative to Generating an Income Online With Jack Conte and Tom Merritt Show notes: smartpassiveincome.com/session188 This is the Smart Passive Income podcast with Pat Flynn, Session #188. I don’t know why, but 88 is just such a beautiful number. Intro: Welcome to the Smart Passive Income podcast, where it’s all about working hard now so you can sit back and reap the benefits later. And now your host – flaming hot Cheetos was his lunch every day during the 10th grade, yikes! – Pat Flynn. Pat: What’s up everybody? Pat Flynn here. Thank you so much for joining me today, and if you didn’t know already one of my favorite numbers is 88 because that’s how many miles per hour you need to go in order to time travel so the flux capacitor does its thing. I’m a huge Back to the Future geek. Any reference opportunity I have, I take it, so thank you for that. Today is a really important episode because I think a lot of you may be struggling with monetization or looking for a different method of doing it other than just selling information products or getting sponsors. This could be the next best thing for you, or the best thing for you. We’re going to be talking about a platform out there called Patreon.com, which is essentially a way for you to collect recurring funds from your fans, based off the creation of your content. It’s essentially recurring funding for artists and creators.
