First Monday, Volume 23, Number 1 - 1 January 2018 Walkthroughs, also known as FAQs or strategy guides, are player-authored documents that provide step-by-step instructions on how to play and what to do in order to finish a given video game. Exegetical in their length and detail, walkthroughs require hours of exacting labor to complete. Yet authors are rarely compensated for work that markedly differs from other kinds of fan creativity. To understand their motivations, I interviewed six veteran GameFAQs authors, then inductively analyzed the transcripts. Open coding surfaced five themes attributable to each participant. Together, these themes constitute a shifting mix of motivations, including altruism, community belonging, self-expression, and recognition — primarily in the form of feedback and appreciation but also from compensation. -
Media Effects and Marginalized Ideas: Relationships Among Media Consumption and Support for Black Lives Matter
International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 4287–4305 1932–8036/20190005 Media Effects and Marginalized Ideas: Relationships Among Media Consumption and Support for Black Lives Matter DANIELLE KILGO Indiana University, USA RACHEL R. MOURÃO Michigan State University, USA Building on research analyses of Black Lives Matter media portrayals, this inquiry uses a two-wave panel survey to examine the effects news coverage has on the evaluation of the core ideas from the Black Lives Matter social movement agenda. Results show that conservative media use increases negative evaluations; models suggest this relationship works as a multidirectional feedback loop. Mainstream and liberal media consumptions do not lead to more positive views about Black Lives Matter’s core ideas. Keywords: media effects, partisan media, conflict, news audiences, Black Lives Matter The 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, was the catalyst that launched a brewing protest movement into the international spotlight. Police officer Darren Wilson shot the unarmed teenager multiple times in the middle of a neighborhood street. Initial protests aimed at finding justice for Brown turned violent quickly and were subsequently met with a militarized police force (e.g., Brown, 2014). Local protests continued in Ferguson while the jury deliberated Wilson’s possible indictment. However, in November 2014, Wilson was not indicted, and the decision refueled national protests. Brown’s death was one of many in 2014, and news media paid attention to the reoccurrence of similar scenarios, as well as the associated protests. These demonstrations were part of the growing, decentralized Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. Protests echoed demands for justice for Black men, women, and children killed by excessive use of force, for police policy reformation, and for the acknowledgment of oppression against Blacks and other marginalized communities. -

1 to What Extent Has Sensationalism in the Oregon Shooting, the Ebola
1 To what extent has sensationalism in the Oregon shooting, the Ebola Crisis, and the missing Malaysian flight avoided genuine problems in print media? AP CAPSTONE RESEARCH March 14, 2016 2 Introduction Sensationalism can be defined as subject matter designed to produce startling or thrilling impressions or to excite and please vulgar taste. (Dictionary.com, 2016) The use of sensationalism in media, or other forms of entertainment can be traced back to ancient roman society, where messages would be publically presented. On public message boards, information was considered to be sensationalized as scandalous and thrill-seeking stories were typically presented first, and in the most exciting manner. From that period on, although not officially given a name, the idea of sensationalizing stories became predominant in society. (Czarny, 2016) It is typical amongst news outlets that stories involving death and crime gain the most attention. Not only do these stories exhibit controversial, graphic, and expressive details, but give news outlets the opportunity to report on high profile cases, that can be followed and updated for days to come, filling up air time. (Czarny, 2016) The idea of sensationalism began after the nineteenth century, due to William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. Both publishers worked for high profile media outlets based out of New York City, and developed the idea and name of Yellow Journalism. Journalists would uphold the title of a “yellow journalist” as their stories would exaggerate events and conceal accurate details to attract and rouse viewers. (Story, 2016) Although unethical, media outlets saw dramatic increases in the numbers of viewers, and thrived off of the attention they were receiving. -

PREFACE Before you lies the thesis "Last line of defence: Cyber security of industrial control systems". This work in- vestigates the state of cyber security within the offshore and dredging industry, the result of which has led to the proposal of a novel intrusion detection system for industrial control systems. It is written to complete the graduation requirements of the MSc program Offshore and Dredging Engineering at the Delft University of Technology. The project has been undertaken in collaboration with Heerema Fabrication Group whom where looking to increase their awareness on cyber security. Investigating the state of cyber security within the offshore and dredging industry has led to the research question, which was formulated together with my supervisor from the TU-Delft, Christian Doerr. The work has proven challenging at times, in part because the subject is fairly unexplored terrain, and also my missing of a background in cyber security and computer networks. Nonethe- less it has provided me with many avenues for growth and learning, especially since both the TU-Delft as HFG provided me the option to freely explore and thus gain insights broader then in one area of focus alone. -

Key to the cultural tourism business in Thailand is the ancient history that is to be found throughout the country in the form of monuments and artifacts. This research examines the management of these ancient monuments in the lower central part of the country. By studying problems with the management of cultural tourism, the researchers outline a suitable model to increase its efficiency. For the attractions to continue to provide prosperity for the nation, it is crucial that this model is implemented to create a lasting and continuous legacy for the cultural tourism business. Keywords: management, cultural tourism, ancient monuments, central Thailand, conservation, efficiency 1. Introduction Tourism is an industry that can generate significant income for the country and, for many years, tourists have been the largest source of income for Thailand when compared to other areas. -

Pablo Trapero’s “The Clan,” Pablo Larrain’s “The Club,” Federico Veiroj’s “The Apostate” and Paula Ortiz’s “The Bride” also made the best pic cut for the third Platino kudofest, awards aimed at highlighting talent and movies from Latin America, Spain and Portugal.

Grabner May 2018 © 2018 Sarah M. Grabner. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Art Games: Performativity and Interactivity by SARAH M. GRABNER has been approved for the School of Art + Design and the College of Fine Arts by Jennie Klein Professor of Art History Matthew R. Shaftel Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract GRABNER, SARAH M., M.A., May 2018, Art History Art Games: Performativity and Interactivity Director of Thesis: Jennie Klein This research’s intention is to define and classify what art games are and how these three particular games rely on the audience to activate the artworks, thus making the audience’s interactions essential to complete the artworks. Technology has always impacted the art world and shaped the media that artists experiment with and use. Today, there are many artists who use games as their method for conveying their ideas and messages. This paper will examine how three artists use gaming structures to critique historical and social topics through the audience’s interactions with the artworks’ gaming structures. The three case studies about Pippin Barr’s The Artist is Present, Tale of Tales’ The Path and Wafaa Bilal’s performance Domestic Tension will examine how these artworks exemplify and use the elements of the particular genre of games, art games. Through looking at research done on digital space and the case studies this paper will address how these artworks create a shift from the focus of the artwork being on the creator or artist to how the interactions and performance of the audience complete the works. -
Mark Kermode's Best Films of 2019
Mark Kermode’s best films of 2019 @KermodeMovie - The Guardian Sun 29 Dec 2019 06.00 GMTLast modified on Tue 31 Dec 2019 15.51 GMT 2019 was the year that Netflix movies came of age, and ageing actors were made young again. At the 91st Oscars in February, the bland Green Book beat the superior BlackKklansman to the best picture award, although Spike Leewon his first competitive Oscar in the adapted screenplay category. Rami Malik scooped best actor for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, but best actress Olivia Colman (The Favourite) stole the evening with one of the funniest and most self- deprecating acceptance speeches ever (complete with raspberry-blowing). More significantly, Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma won for cinematography, direction and best foreign language film, despite naysayers’ complaints that Netflix-backed movies were essentially made-for-TV films. That attitude is now history: in the forthcoming awards season, the platform has several contenders, including Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story and Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman. The Irishman marked a watershed moment for “digital de-ageing”, with innovative technology allowing Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci to play characters much younger than themselves. We’ve seen de-aging elsewhere (from Captain Marvel to Gemini Man), but never this unobtrusively. Alongside the release of its first original animated feature, Sergio Pablos’s Klaus, Netflix also picked up distribution rights for I Lost My Body, which made history when it took the top prize in the Critics’ Week section at Cannes in May. More family-friendly releases – Frozen II, Toy Story 4 and a weirdly photorealist rehash of The Lion King – may have dominated the box office in 2019, but I Lost My Body was my favourite animated film of the year.
