SUMMARY:MediaFutures Seminar: How Newspapers Use Audience Analytics and Metrics with Thomas Husken\, Data Analyst at Bergens Tidende
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Husken\, Data Analyst at Bergens Tidende\, will give a seminar on 9 September\, at 12:00. \nTITLE: How newspapers use audience analytics and metrics \nWHEN: Friday 9 September\, 12:00-13:00WHERE: MediaFutures \n  \nIn this workshop\, Thomas Husken\, data scientist in Bergens Tidende (BT)\, will talk about the usage of news audience data\, various metrics\, and analytics inside a news organization. Thomas is part of BT data analytics department\, working on frontpage optimization\, creation and maintenance of various analytical dashboards\, and many other analytical tasks. Newsrooms around the world have become centered around dashboards\, overloaded with metrics\, and news work is growingly data-driven. Ongoing research is revealing how analytics and metrics influences journalism culture\, work routines\, news values\, news selection\, among other. However\, beyond gaining knowledge about effects on work process which are reflected in content that consumers of media get\, we need to look deeper into technical insides of audience analytics and metrics\, or infrastructures for utilization of data about audience news use. In that respect\, Thomas Husken will provide unique insights into the audience analytics and metrics in BT as one of the oldest and the largest newspapers (measured by circulation) in Norway. \nThe workshop is primarily aimed at PhD and Postodoctoral researchers\, but also at others interested in various technological aspects of media work.     \n\nProgram: \nShort introduction – Ana Milojevic (Postdoc Fellow\, MediaFutures) \nHow newspapers use analytics and metrics – Thomas Husken (Data Scientist\, BT) \nQuestions and answers \n\nRegister your interest in workshop by sending e-mail to Ana Milojevic.

SUMMARY:MediaFutures Seminar: Media entertainment experiences among youth on global platforms. Marika Lüders\, Professor at the University of Oslo
DESCRIPTION:Marika Lüders\, Professor at the University of Oslo\, will give a seminar on 13 May\, at 12:00. \nTITLE: Media entertainment experiences among youth on global platformsWHEN: Friday 13 May\, 12:00-13:00WHERE: Zoom – \nhttps://uib.zoom.us/j/68002953641?pwd=WGU1ZGFKUTNMZlZ0a29GaVlrWFJuUT09 \nMeeting ID: 680 0295 3641\n\nPassword: PEw18sgA\n \nABSTRACT: \nThe media and platforms taken for granted by those born since the turn of the millennium are often interpreted as causing unprecedented competition for national and legacy players in the field of media entertainment. Accordingly\, notions such as “lost generation” signal how legacy media perceive re-engagement with youth audiences as core to their future existence. In this talk I will first address how the notion of youth as a lost generation serves a strategic function in the media entertainment sector by legitimating actions. I will next report from how we study teens’ media entertainment experiences in the research project “Global Natives? Serving young audiences on global platforms”. By enquiring the media entertainment experiences of youth as constituted by content produced by legacy media and what is often termed “social media entertainment”\, we hope to advance knowledge on youth as a media generation. \nBIO: \nMarika Lüders is a Professor at the Department of Media and Communication\, University of Oslo. She has almost 20 years of experience in researching user/audience experiences\, social media\, global platforms\, and the intersections of the material and experiential levels of digital technologies. Lüders is currently the project leader of the research project “Global Natives? Serving young audiences on global platforms” (2021-2025).

SUMMARY:MediaFutures Seminar: News diversity and recommendation systems: An interdisciplinary approach. Dr. Kristin Van Damme.
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Kristin Van Damme\, a senior researcher from Artevelde University of Applied Sciences\, will give a seminar on 11 February at 12:00. \nTITLE: News diversity and recommendation systems: An interdisciplinary approach.WHEN: Friday 11 February\, 12:00-13:00WHERE: Zoom – https://uib.zoom.us/j/68035691403?pwd=aGtEaVlVREx3MzFVM3diQlJGU1JCZz09Meeting ID: 680 3569 1403Password: pXe8JC3C \nABSTRACT: \nConcerns about selective exposure and filter bubbles in the digital news environment have raised questions on how news recommendation systems can be more citizen-oriented so that they facilitate – rather than limit – the normative aims of journalism. In response to this question\, the NewsDNA project aimed at developing an algorithm that uses news diversity as a key driver for personalized news recommendation. To do so\, we combined insights from multiple research disciples: computer sciences (news recommendation systems); communication sciences (conceptualisations of news diversity); law (right to receive information) and computational linguistics (automated content extraction from text). As such\, we hoped to give stakeholders – such as policymakers and news producers – a realistic view on the opportunities and pitfalls of developing a citizen-oriented news recommendation system.   \nBIO: \nDr. Kristin Van Damme is senior researcher in journalism at Artevelde University of Applied Sciences (Research & Development Center Communication\, Media and Design) and project lead of the News Barometer project\, an investigation of youth’s (12-26y) relation with news and disinformation. Additionally\, she is lecturer Journalism at Communication Sciences at Ghent University. She obtained a PhD in journalism studies by studying news use in the transforming news environment.

SUMMARY:MediaFutures Seminar: Modeling News Flows: How Feedback Loops Influence Citizens' Beliefs and  Shape Societies. Assoc. Prof. Damian Trilling.
DESCRIPTION:Damian Trilling\, Associate Professor at the University of Amsterdam\, will give a seminar on 2 December\, at 12:00. \nTITLE: Modeling News Flows: How FeedbackLoops Influence Citizens’ Beliefs and Shape SocietiesWHEN: Thursday 2 December\, 12:00-13:00WHERE: Zoom : https://uib.zoom.us/j/62205578637?pwd=azNkZ21UY3V6cE5KYTVJRGxmclZOQT09#successMeeting ID: 622 0557 8637Password: YT2sX3MZ \nABSTRACT: \nIn both public and scientific debates\, many worry that the architecture of our current (online) media environment leads to so-called “echo chambers” or “filter bubbles”. In this talk\, I will challenge these metaphors and argue that they distract us from a deeper understanding of the underlying\, reinforcing processes. First\, I will discuss the role of recommender systems and other algorithmic systems in news exposure and dissemination\, and under which circumstances the feedback loops they produce can indeed have detrimental consequences for society. Second\, I will discuss feedback loops as they occur between different outlets and domains. This results in the outline a research agenda. I will end on an optimistic note\, though\, and argue how a stronger role of communication science can help developing beneficial tools for our society. \nBIO: \nDamian Trilling is Associate Professor at the Department of Communicaton Science at the University of Amsterdam)\, where he is Co-Director of the Communication in the Digital Society Initiative and member of the program group Political Communication and Journalism. He is also one of the co-founders of the Computational Communication Science Amsterdam Lab. Next to general courses in political communication\, he teaches intensively in the area of Computational Communication Science. His research focuses on the question how news spreads in today’s media landscape and how people follow the news. In particular\, he is interested in reinforcing processes\, such as the question in how far exposure and distribution re-inforce each other\, and how the users and algorithms interact in such processes.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Exploring media experience: why is it important to media innovation? Irene Costera Meijer\, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:Irene Costera Meijer\, Professor of Journalism Studies at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam\, (The Netherlands) and Professor II at the University of Bergen will talk about why we should regard audience experience as key to both innovation and quality. \nTITLE: Exploring media experience: why is it important to media innovation?\nWHEN: Thursday\, 17 June 2021\, 13:00-14:00\nWHERE:https://uib.zoom.us/j/61527564041?pwd=M25Qay8ybHpSZVRjaVdxQXJRbHgwQT09\nMeeting ID: 615 2756 4041\nPasscode: erM6f2uy \nABSTRACT: In today’s world\, innovation appears to have replaced quality as the dominant concept in metajournalistic discourse. Innovation guards the distribution of financial resources – more investments in technology – and working conditions –more freelance journalists as a flexible workforce. Innovation also works as a distinctive mark of professional status and is at the center of antagonistic labor relations  – e.g. the introduction of robot journalism. \nThe shift from quality discourse to innovation discourse involved a change in the journalistic perception of audiences: from being irrelevant (if not a negative concern) to being main targets. \nAlthough the question of how to reach audiences seems to be still dominant\, news organizations appear to become more open and sensitive towards finding out how to become valuable to audiences\, how to open up their minds\, how to broaden their horizon\, and how to provide them with a quality experience that will enlighten them with reliable information considered worthwhile. \nIn this talk I will answer the question how innovation discourse and quality discourse may meet by focusing on what audiences experience as valuable journalism. I will demonstrate how it crystallized over the years into three key experiences: Learning something new\, Getting recognition and Increasing mutual understanding. \nBIO: Irene Costera Meijer is Professor of Journalism Studies and head of the Journalism Studies section at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She is a world leading journalism and media scholar having recently set the agenda for the audience turn in journalism studies. Her research appeared in many journals and books and focuses on what news users value about journalism.  She also works as a professor II at the Research group for Media Use and Audience Studies of the Department of Information Science and Media Studies at University of Bergen. \nHer 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.  This makes it easier to translate scholarly results into relevant suggestions for every day professional practices and vice versa\, understanding the fundamental dilemmas of professional practices and translating these into academic publications. Costera Meijer is also on the editorial board of the academic journals Digital Journalism and Journalism Practice. \n

SUMMARY:Seminar: Are Filter Bubbles Real? Axel Bruns\, QUT
DESCRIPTION:MediaFutures is pleased to announce a seminar with Axel Bruns from Queensland University of Technology (QUT). The video recording is available below. \nWelcome to all! \nTITLE: Are Filter Bubbles Real?\nWHEN: 16 April 2021\, 09:00-10:00. \n \nABSTRACT: The success of political movements that appear to be immune to any factual evidence that contradicts their claims – from the Brexiteers to the ‘alt-right’\, neo-fascist groups supporting Donald Trump – has reinvigorated claims that social media spaces constitute so-called ‘filter bubbles’ or ‘echo chambers’. But while such claims may appear intuitively true to politicians and journalists – who have themselves been accused of living in filter bubbles –\, the evidence that ordinary users experience their everyday social media environments as uniform and homophilous spaces is far more limited. For instance\, a 2016 Pew Center study has shown that only 23% of U.S. users on Facebook and 17% on Twitter now say with confidence that most of their contacts’ views are similar to their own. 20% have changed their minds about a political or social issue because of interactions on social media. Similarly\, large-scale studies of follower and interaction networks on social media show that such networks are often thoroughly interconnected and facilitate the flow of information across boundaries of personal ideology and interest\, except for a few especially hardcore partisan communities. This talk explores the evidence for and against echo chambers and filter bubbles. It moves the present debate beyond a merely anecdotal footing\, and offers a more reliable assessment of this purported threat. \nBIO: Prof. Axel Bruns is a Professor in the Digital Media Research Centre at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane\, Australia\, and a Chief Investigator in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society. His books include Are Filter Bubbles Real? (2019) and Gatewatching and News Curation: Journalism\, Social Media\, and the Public Sphere (2018)\, and the edited collections Digitizing Democracy (2019)\, the Routledge Companion to Social Media and Politics (2016)\, and Twitter and Society (2014). His current work focusses on the study of user participation in social media spaces such as Twitter\, and its implications for our understanding of the contemporary public sphere\, drawing especially on innovative new methods for analysing ‘big social data’. He served as President of the Association of Internet Researchers in 2017–19. His research blog is at https://snurb.info/\, and he tweets at @snurb_dot_info.
