In the Trump Era, a Family's Fight With...Er Disinformation
In the Trump Era, a Familyʼs Fight With Google and Facebook Over Disinformation The man behind “Willie Horton” and Citizens United built a potent online disinformation mill with his son. Then Big Tech changed the rules. By Nicholas Confessore and Justin Bank Published Aug. 21, 2019 Updated Aug. 22, 2019 Each day, in an office outside Phoenix, a team of young writers and editors curates reality. In the America presented on their news and opinion website, WesternJournal.com, tradition-minded patriots face ceaseless assault by anti-Christian bigots, diseased migrants and race hustlers concocting hate crimes. Danger and outrages loom. A Mexican politician threatens the “takeover” of several American states. Police officers are kicked out of an Arizona Starbucks. Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, proposes a “$100 billion handout” for black families. The Western Journal is not quite a household name. Until recently, some of its most prolific writers used pseudonyms. Though it publishes scores of stories each week about national politics, the company has no Washington bureau, or any other bureaus. Indeed, it rarely dispatches reporters into the world to gather news firsthand. In the parallel universe of Facebook, though, The Western Journal has been among the most popular and influential publications in America, shaping the political beliefs of more than 36 million deeply loyal readers and followers. In the three years ending in March, according to a New York Times analysis, Western Journal’s Facebook posts earned three-quarters of a billion shares, likes and comments, almost as many as the combined tally of 10 leading American news organizations that together employ thousands of reporters and editors. -
The Market Impacts of Sharing Economy Entrants: Evidence from USA and China
Electronic Commerce Research https://doi.org/10.1007/s10660-018-09328-1 The market impacts of sharing economy entrants: evidence from USA and China Yue Guo1,2 · Fu Xin1 · Xiaotong Li3 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract This paper studies the link between the difusion of the sharing economy and tra- ditional mature industries by empirically examining the economic impacts of shar- ing economy entrants. This study adds to the ongoing debate over whether and how ride-hailing platforms infuence new car sales in USA and China. Our results sug- gest that the short-term impact of Didi Chuxing’s entry on new car sales is positive. Unlike the efect of Didi Chuxing on new car sales in China, Uber’s entry nega- tively infuences new car sales in USA. The entry of Didi Chuxing is related to a 9.24% increase in new car sales in China and the entry of Uber is related to an 8.1% decrease in new car sales in USA. We further empirically confrm that the impact of ride-hailing companies is trivial in small cities.

“Until That Song Is Born”: an Ethnographic Investigation of Teaching and Learning Among Collaborative Songwriters in Nashville
“UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Music Education—Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill With the intent of informing the practice of music educators who teach songwriting in K– 12 and college/university classrooms, the purpose of this research is to examine how professional songwriters in Nashville, Tennessee—one of songwriting’s professional “hubs”—teach and learn from one another in the process of engaging in collaborative songwriting. This study viewed songwriting as a form of “situated learning” (Lave & Wenger, 1991) and “situated practice” (Folkestad, 2012) whose investigation requires consideration of the professional culture that surrounds creative activity in a specific context (i.e., Nashville). The following research questions guided this study: (1) How do collaborative songwriters describe the process of being inducted to, and learning within, the practice of professional songwriting in Nashville, (2) What teaching and learning behaviors can be identified in the collaborative songwriting processes of Nashville songwriters, and (3) Who are the important actors in the process of learning to be a collaborative songwriter in Nashville, and what roles do they play (e.g., gatekeeper, mentor, role model)? This study combined elements of case study and ethnography. Data sources included observation of co-writing sessions, interviews with songwriters, and participation in and observation of open mic and writers’ nights. -

Authors: Hampus Kalderén & Yannick Lindqvist Supervisor: Per Frankelius Background: Women have been part of the brewing process of beer for as long as history can tell. However, after the industrialization, beer became a commercial product and men took over the production. Women were no longer part of the beer industry. Today, women’s interest in beer appear to be growing as more female associations and groups start to surface around Sweden and organize different events. -
