SUMMARY:NORMalize at RecSys ’23
DESCRIPTION:MediaFutures Key Researcher Alain Starke is co-organizing a workshop on normative design and evaluation of recommender systems during the 17th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems\, RecSys ’23. \nNORMalize sets out to provide a platform for researchers and practicioners from different domains to discuss challenges related to the normative design and evaluation of recommender systems. \nIn this workshop they examine the question whether news recommenders should provide sufficiently diverse recommendations. Should we strive to expose users to content that contradicts their political beliefs? \nIt is RecSys’ first Workshop on Normative Design and Evaluation of Recommender Systems and will take place on Tuesday September 19\, 2023. Remote participation is possible.  \nAgenda:\nThe morning is an on-site\, while the afternoon offers a hybrid format.  \nMorning session\n09:00 – 09:10 Welcome & Introduction\n09:10 – 10:30 Interactive workshop\n10:30 – 11:15 Coffee break\n11:15 – 12:35 Interactive workshop\n12:35 – 14:00 Lunch break\n\nAfternoon session\n14:00 – 14:45 Keynote: Louisa Bartolo\n14:50 – 15:00 Towards a Pragmatic Approach for studying Normative Recommender Systems: exploring Power Dynamics in Digital Platform Markets\n15:00 – 15:10 Designing and Implementing Socially Beneficial Recommender Systems: An Interdisciplinary Approach\n15:10 – 15:20 Digital Humanism and Norms in Recommender Systems 15:20 – 16:05 Coffee break\n16:05 – 16:15 Improving and Evaluating the Detection of Fragmentation in News Recommendations with the Clustering of News Story Chains\n16:15 – 16:25 Enabling Serendipitous News Discovery Experiences by Designing for Navigable Surprise\n16:25 – 16:35 NPR: a News Portal Recommendations dataset\n16:35 – 16:45 Value-Based Nudging in News Recommender Systems – Results From an Experimental User Study\n16:45 – 16:55 Refining deliberative standards for online political communication: Introducing a summative approach to designing deliberative recommender systems\n16:55 – 17:05 Classification of Normative Recommender Systems\n17:05 – 17:35 Panel discussion & Closing

SUMMARY:Liisa Ovaska: From permissive to resistive tactics: How audience members act\, make sense and cope with audience-datafied journalism
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite to a seminar about Liisa Ovaska’s research paper on how audience members respond to audience-datafied journalism. Preliminary findings reveal a spectrum of strategies\, ranging from resistance to acceptance\, in how users engage with data-driven systems while consuming news. \nLiisa Ovaska is a doctoral researcher at Tampere University. In her dissertation Ovaska studies the effects of audience metrics on audience members’ relations to digital journalism.   \nWhere and When:\nAt MediaFutures\, 22.september at 12:00 \nAbstract:\n \n  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Although there exists a consensus of the fact that the usage of audience metrics has changed journalism\, the audience’s perception to audience-datafied journalism has received less attention. In the newsrooms\, metrics are used to collect data from audience and its behaviour\, and further used to adjust the news outputs.  \nThis talk will present Liisa Ovaska’s research paper\, which examines how the audience members make sense\, act and cope with audience-datafied journalism. Preliminary results suggest that the tactics varied from resistive to permissive: users tried either act against the datafied systems and minimise its impact to their news consumption or complied with the system by accepting it. The article is based on audience research conducted in the spring 2023. The data was produced by using group interviews and instant messaging group chats in which the participants reported of their encounters with datafied journalism for one week.

SUMMARY:Irene Costera Meijer: TikTok as a case study to understand the layeredness of Media Experience:
DESCRIPTION:Join our next Lunch Meeting with Irene Costera Meijer\, Professor of Journalism Studies and head of the Journalism Studies section at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. \nShe is also Work Package I Advisor and Key Researcher. Her research interests focus on audience studies and in particular on the impact of digitalization on changing practices of media consumption\, media experiences and news use. When doing research she often collaborates with media organisations.   \nWhere and When? \nAt MediaFutures\, 29.september at 12:00 \nAbstract:\nTikTok reaches around 44% of the 18-24 age group\, with 20% explicitly saying they use it for news (Newman et al.\, 2023). It is not surprising\, then\, that (news) media have migrated to TikTok to engage with younger audiences. Yet\, research shows that media struggle with reaching young people\, because conventional formats do not always correspond with how young people use and experience social media platforms. Nordic researchers have argued that newsrooms would benefit from a platform-specific content approach: beyond merely (re)”packaging” the news and neglecting the content\, they must learn to “speak the code of TikTok” to engage young audiences with their news. \nWe took a different non-news centric approach by analyzing how 99 young people (16 – 24) experience TikTok and whether there might be room for news in this experience. Experience may highlight positionality\, temporality\, embodiment\, ambivalence and interaction (Costera Meijer & Groot Kormelink\, 2021; Ytre-Arne et al.\, 2023). This approach allowed us to get insight into the RELATIVE value of news within their TikTok-experiences. \nIn my presentation I will show how the dimension of temporality – the discrepancy between love = ‘concurrent enjoyment’ and hate = ‘retrospective regret’ may offer valuable insights for public service media and news media to stand out on TikTok and be meaningful to a young audience.
