Proceedings of ECREA/CICOM Conference, Pamplona, 4-5 July 2011 Presentation Journalism is undergoing times of change. Since the impact of digital technologies in media markets around the mid 1990’s, this profession has experienced fast and often sudden transformations. This process has brought an increasing complexity to journalism exercise. In the middle of a pre-existing media scene of newspapers, radio, television and agencies, a new digital medium arises, mainly represented by the Web and mobile platforms. Media companies have also undergone a deep reconfiguration, marked by the redefinition of their traditional business models. Journalists, the main figures of the information activity, have witnessed how their profession has evolved in a context of a brisk replacement of technologies and a new and more interactive relation with the audiences. Finally, the news content has also experienced its own particular process of transformation, with the arrival of new multimedia languages. Briefly, in just a few years, the media landscape has been entirely reconfigured. And, even though the process is far from being completed, it is certainly noticeable the emergence of a new journalism with new professional profiles, where the distinctive feature is, mainly, diversity. In view of this new scenario, it is quite urgent to reconsider the academic research on journalism. In order to deal with the growing complexity of media, new approaches and specific methodologies become necessary. Furthermore, 8 Diversity of Journalisms.

Social media uses web-based technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogues. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content."[1] Businesses also refer to social media as consumer-generated media (CGM). Social media utilization is believed to be a driving force in defining the current time period as the Attention Age. A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value. Distinction from industrial media People gain information, education, news, etc., by electronic media and print media. Social media are distinct from industrial or traditional media, such as newspapers, television, and film. They are relatively inexpensive and accessible to enable anyone (even private individuals) to publish or access information, compared to industrial media, which generally require significant resources to publish information.

Constituyen una comunidad virtual flexible y a la vez exigente, demandando redes sociales que presenten contenidos y usos adaptados a su personalidad e intereses, por ello, cuando consideran que una red deja de suplir sus necesidades de interacción, la abandonan. En España se ha suscitado uno de los casos más interesantes de movimiento de usuarios de redes sociales: jóvenes y adolescentes españoles mantuvieron durante algunos años una frecuencia de participación notable en la red social Tuenti, abandonándola progresivamente al trasladarse hacia Facebook, una red similar con notable carácter internacional.

    Motivations for using five SNSs 1 Running Head: Motivations for using five SNSs Motivation scale for using Social Network Sites: comparative study between Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and LinkedIn. Alexandra Masciantonioa and David Bourguignona aUniversité de Lorraine, Metz, France This manuscript is not yet published. Corresponding author: Full postal address: Alexandra Masciantonio. Université de Lorraine, UFR Sciences Humaines et Sociales, Laboratoire PErSEUs. Ile du Saulcy, BP 60228, 57045 METZ, cedex 01, France. E-mail address: [email protected] This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors. Motivations for using five SNSs 2 Abstract. The increasing number of social network sites (SNS) and their changing nature raise the question of why people use them. This research has a twofold objective: first, to develop a motivation scale for using SNSs; second, to compare the utilization of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and LinkedIn. Two studies on 364 university students, using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, established six motivations: entertainment, social interaction, seeking information, instrumental use, self-documentation and self-enhancement. Contrary to previous studies, Facebook use was not related with social interaction or self-enhancement. Like LinkedIn, the use of the platform was rather associated with peer pressure. The results also revealed that new practices - such as social selling - affect the use of SNS: Instagram and Snapchat were driven by this kind of instrumental needs. As expected, Twitter use satisfied mainly informational needs. The results are discussed by applying a cross-media perspective to new motives behind SNSs use.

  • European Commission
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION PRESS RELEASE Brussels, 21 March 2013 EU says we should glorify our entrepreneurs:Skype; Spotify and Angry Birds creators advise EU – first stage of "Startup Europe" campaign Most people think of Silicon Valley in the United States when they think about technology and entrepreneurs – the European Commission wants young Europeans to be inspired by home-grown entrepreneurs, so their bright ideas start and stay in Europe. With help from the creators of Spotify, Angry Birds, Tuenti, Skype, SeedCamp, HackFwd, London's Tech City and TheNextWeb, the Commission is creating a platform for star entrepreneurs to tell their stories of inspirations and frustration, to wake-up young Europeans and leaders to the potential of entrepreneurial careers. "Europeans need to be creative and fearless. That's how dozens of the world's most exciting web and tech companies were born in the EU, and I want the world to know it," said Neelie Kroes, European Commission Vice President, "I want young entrepreneurs to have role models, and for them to have a real digital single market to grow their ideas in." The Startup Europe Leaders Club is the first part of Startup Europe, the European Commission's 6-part plan to accelerate and connect local entrepreneurship ecosystems in Europe to help tech start-ups to start and grow in Europe and to scale up to a global level. Members of the Startup Europe Leaders Club are living proof that web entrepreneurship can be a hugely rewarding career.
