This shift to “local 2.0” has given birth to “local listing sites,” an emerging social medium that converges the content of traditional Yellow Pages, consumer-generated content and the interactive features of social network sites. Such sites harness the productive power of “prosumers,” the hybrid subjectivity of new media users who simultaneously produce and consume online content (Tapscott & Williams, 2006). These sites capitalize on the productivity of users who create discourses through and about local consumption by voluntarily rating and reviewing local businesses and services, challenging the power of institutions traditionally responsible for the production of consumer culture and reputation management (e.g., local business owners, marketers, advertisers, professional critics).

  • Mediamixer: Innovative Multimedia Solutions Ready for Transfer to Industry
    InImpact: The Journal of Innovation Impact: ISSN 2051-6002 : http://www.inimpact.org Vol. 7. No. 1 : pp.266-274 : inkt14-025 MediaMixer: Innovative Multimedia Solutions ready for transfer to industry Lyndon Nixon MODUL University Vienna GmbH, Am Kahlenberg 1, 1190 Vienna, Austria [email protected] Abstract MediaMixer1 is a group of expert organisations in innovative multimedia technologies. We will present current trends in online media, the future media ecosystem that companies need to prepare for, and why this means new solutions are needed for media technologies. Through case studies and success stories, we reflect on how a combination of innovations in media analysis, annotation, rights and management, companies will be enabled to better find and re-use online media, and thus build new business models and revenue streams. 1. Trends in Online Media The media ecosystem that companies operate within is changing rapidly thanks to the greater ease of creating and publishing media assets, the growing scale and complexity of enterprise media, and the disruptions in the media value chain caused by media sharing and remixing. We believe there will be growing demand for fragments of online media in the future. This will be driven by the scale of media creation (online archives of broadcasters and producers hold >40m hours of footage), which leads to the need for reducing creation costs through flexible re- use of existing material (stock footage is a billion dollar market with >20% growth per annum). It is grounded in a cultural shift towards acceptance of media re- mixing, where new media contents are created out of the combination of existing media fragments (“Harlem Shake” is perhaps the most profitable user-sourced remix to date for a media owner).

  • Employment in B.C.'S Marine Fisheries and Aquaculture Declining
    OCEAN WATCH | B.C. Coast Edition COASTAL DEVELOPMENT AND LIVELIHOODS Employment in B.C.’s marine fisheries and aquaculture declining AUTHORS Fiona Beaty and Karin Bodtker, Coastal Ocean Research Institute, an Ocean Wise initiative What’s happening? REVIEWER Jim McIsaac, Executive Director, T Buck British Columbia’s seafood industries provide thousands of full-time and Suzuki Environmental Foundation part-time jobs each year. In 2011, industries including the capture fishery, aquaculture, seafood processing and saltwater sport fishing employed about 10,100 British Columbians, 46 percent of whom worked in establishments associated with the saltwater sport fishing industry. The total for 2011 is the lowest value reported since 1984 (Figure 1).1 Unfortunately, employment data for all four industries combined for more recent years are unavailable. Not surprisingly, the number of commercial fishing licenses and fishing vessels involved in the commercial fishery are both on the decline as well. Data are available through 2015 for these indicators. Photo: Jenn Burt. SEAFOOD EMPLOYMENT | Page 233 OCEAN WATCH | B.C.

  • Is the Sky Falling on the Content Industries?*
    IS THE SKY FALLING ON THE CONTENT INDUSTRIES?* MARK A. LEMLEY** Are the content industries doomed? They certainly seem to think so. The music industry tells us, as their revenues decline because of file sharing, “we can’t compete with free,” and so we’re history. No one is going to create new music anymore. The video industries seem to be getting in on the act, too. They’ve showed up behind closed doors in Washington, D.C. to complain about the prospect of a national broadband plan, because broadband is simply going to make it easier for people to pirate video over the Internet. “We’ve got to do something about it,” they tell us, “or no one is going to make movies anymore.” And now, as you’ve read from Mark Cooper, newspapers are in on the act as revenues decline.1 Print journalism is dying, people are leaving the business in droves because “we can’t compete with free.” Though here, curiously, the free is their own free. The complaint of the newspapers is that they can’t compete with themselves putting their own material on the Internet for free. This sounds like a pretty alarming story. But this is not the first time the content industries have told us that they face imminent disaster. I sometimes suspect there was an association of monastic scriveners who protested the printing press on the theory that it was going to destroy the beautiful hand illumination of manuscripts. Which, of course, it did. But, it did not, as a result, destroy the book industry.
