MOBILE MEDIA RESEARCH –                    MOVING FORWARD

Day: Friday, March 12, 2010

Time: 13.00-16.00

Location: The IT University of Copenhagen, auditorium 3

At this seminar, researchers from University of Copenhagen, the IT University of Copenhagen, and the National IT- and Telecommunications Agency present up-to-date research in the area of mobile media in Denmark and in an international perspective.

Mobile media are integrated in our everyday lives at all levels from the individual user to workplaces and social institutions. The functions and meanings of mobile media as such and in combination with other means of communication, information, and entertainment play a central role in processes of cultural and social change and in our access to information in local as well as global contexts. Media and communication research monitors these processes and places them in historical perspective – including the history of yesterday and today – in order to evaluate the development of mobile media and their social consequences.

Young people ICTs and Democracy. Theories, policies, identities and websites
This book offers theoretical reflections on the Internets civic potential: analyses of policy concerns connected to its development, and elusive case studies of civic websites as well as young peoples everyday Web practices. Basically, the chapters in this book seek to analyze rather than mythologize the Internets political implications for young people

Medier i Norden, Nordicoms rapport om medieutviklingen – utgave 1-2010 – er publisert. Temaene for denne utgaven er filmpolitikken i Norden og opphavsrett:

• Rask teknologisk utvikling danner bakteppet for mange av de filmpolitiske beslutninger som er tatt og skal tas i de nordiske landene. Blant annet legges i 2010 grunnlaget for nye filmavtaler i Danmark og Sverige.
• Opphavsrettslovgivningen er under endring og revisjon i alle nordiske land. Det skyldes i stor grad press fra digitaliseringen – og stadig mer avanserte nett.

I dag har Lisbeth Klastrup og Gitte Stald offentliggjort deres rapport om 13-25årige danskeres brug af sociale netværkstjenester og deres interesse i at bruge disse fra mobile platforme.
Undersøgelsen viser blandt andet, at 13-24årige danskere
• ikke bruger mere end to sociale netværkstjenester
• primært bruger sociale netværkssider til at styrke offline relationer og holde sig bredt orienteret
• helst vil have vennernes statusopdatering som billeder, efterfulgt af status om humør/følelser
• ikke er interesserede i at bruge sociale netværk kun på mobilen, men via en kombination af medier
• … men hvis servicen er gratis, nem at bruge og vennerne er på, er der mange potentielle brugere

*First announcement*

Internet Research: New Methodological Challenges and Opportunities

Hosting most previous forms of human communication – one-to-one, one-to-many, as well as many-to-many – the internet is a unique kind of medium, a meta-medium (Kay & Richardson, 1977), which users access from mobile and other platforms. As such, it challenges media and communication studies to think again about relevant and appropriate research methodologies. The internet also provides an opportunity for research to refashion, or reinvent, standard approaches and instruments.

This PhD course provides an overview of the state of internet research, illustrating the applicability of both new and old methodologies to this field of inquiry. The central contributor to the course will be Professor Steve Jones, University of Illinois at Chicago, the founding president of the Association of Internet Researchers, and a key figure in internet research for more than a decade. Steve Jones is an FMKJ guest professor during the spring of 2010. Other contributors to the course will be announced shortly.
