SENSE AND CONTEXT: ELEMENTS OF NEW MEDIA COMMUNICATION

For almost two decades, the Web has changed the world and revolutionized the way information is stored, published, claimed and consume. Ripple effect is so broad that it not only affects the operations and development of the industry but also already is transferred to politics, medicine, the media and breaks through and over of the geographical location, cultural borders and ultimately, affects the daily lives of people. Social media and social networking have some overlap but they are not really the same thing. Knowing that they are two different marketing, social and media concepts, it can make a difference in the understanding of how my personal and as well business position is going forward. But what makes social media is of particular interest for journalism is hot that has become as influential as a form of communication and a bulletin of the special and extraordinary news. Since from 2010, Google as well as Microsoft are starting integration of the messages from Twitter towards their own search engines, and use a new form of search called as a Real-Time Search. We need to look for answers to the questions: How does social media influence the news? Is Twitter the new media "drain hole" of the future? What is the Twitter effect? What is Twitter Journalism? How the social media and other Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs affect the operations in creating of the news when it comes to reporting on certain events? How does social media have influence on how journalists receive, collect and distribute the news? What this means for the future of the news? Social media and Web 2.0 changing the way news is gathered and reported with the help of such news and about what it means for the future of news. Finally, this paper will try to answer: Does the journalism still mean something and/or anything? Who is the reporter of the future? How will looks like the space for the creation of the news in future? So, what is, in fact, journalism in the age of social media?

The generalization of interpersonal, but also of media communication, and the emergence of multiple possibilities of assertion in the public sphere, in the context of a pronounced demassification of the public, imposes rethinking the approach strategies employed in an analysis. Surpassing the postmodern stage also requires reestablishing, if not a paradigm, then at least an interrogation framework. Developing a philosophy of digital communication becomes imperative, out of the need to rebuild and adapt the tools of investigation. From my point of view, we can identify at least three fields of research. The first one targets the way information is gathered and edited. The second one refers to the new features of the message in the global communication society. The third field imposes a strong reflection on new media ethics. In what follows we will outline a few directions of analysis, starting, however, from elements of traditional communication. The numerous approaches of presentday cybermedia and cyberspace are oriented towards (1) Defining, mapping and investigating the field in its general characteristics; (2) Establishing the specificity of each field. Media communication is a manifestation framework of this type, bringing numerous challenges. In the analysis of changes that have occurred in the field of media communication, on a traditional level, we notice the prevalence of studies regarding the distribution of journalism products, i.e. public relations. In our study, we mainly approach the more difficult and more specialized stage of information gathering. In this activity as well, the technological offensive is powerful, though less obvious. Keywords: digital media, information gathering, media platforms, cyberspace, media sphere, new communication.

Mediatizaton research is concerned with the change of everyday life, culture and society in the context of media change. Thus, in a first step, we must develop a adequate concept of media and related concepts. Media thus are understood to consist of a structural and a situational form: structurally it consists of technologies an social institutions and norms, situationally, it consists of produced content and aesthetics, and it exists as a space of experience for the people. The paper then shows how these defintions can be used to reconstruct theoretically and empircally, how media change may become a relevant context of the forms of human communication, of everyday life and all other social phenomena.

Off and Online Journalism and Corruption - International Comparative Analysis [Working Title]

The term "media" refers to all means for social media in your community news and non news, locale and national. In just over a decade, the influence of social media has evolved beyond being an amusing extra into a fully integrated part of almost every aspect of everyday life for many people. This chapter will discuss the changes within the mass media in the new century and cognize how the traditional media have evolved over the twenty-first century. Besides, it will identify how mass media personnel consider the audience an integral part of business concerns and recognize how mass media personnel consider the audience an integral part of business concerns. Morover, the chapter will highlight the relationship between mass media, innovation, and people. Over the past century, life span has significantly changed, and the advancement of media technology is a major reason for it. Compare a day in a contemporary onse's life with a day in the life of someone from the old generation. Nowadays, there is smartphone, T. V, laptop, easy-to-access internet everywhere, while back in those days, it was almost impossible to find or to imagine having any of these decives.

Abstract This article reflects on the current state of digital communication studies in the context of mass communication research. The objectives of the article are: 1) to characterize the enunciators and the contents of scientific conversations about digital communication; and 2) to sketch a map of possible interlocutors who might enrich this new research field. After quickly exploring the paradigms of mass communication studies, the article deals with the main theoretical conversations about digital communication. The second part of the article describes the transformations that the appearance of digital technology has generated in communication processes. The article concludes with an agenda of the main issues and partners that theoretical conversations about digital communication should include. The article analyzes the constitution of a new scientific field and describes the process that may, in the future, lead to the creation of a theory of digital communication.

Available in 3 volume print and online, this work offers critical assessments of theoretical and applied research on digitally-mediated communication, a central area of study in the 21st century. The International Encyclopedia of Digital Communication and Society is organized in A-Z format, with over 150 entries written from both international and interdisciplinary perspectives. Explore a full range of topics in unprecedented breadth and depth: commercial applications, information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D), law and policy, online gaming, and social media.

Communication is the sharing of meaning through the exchange of information. The process of communication is defined by the technology of communication, the characteristics of the senders and receivers of information, their cultural codes of reference and protocols of communication, and the scope of the communication process. Meaning can only be understood in the context of the social relationships in which information and communication are processed (Schiller, 2007: 18). I shall elaborate on the elements of this definition in the context of the global network society.

New media studies have to combine the analysis of evolutionary changes in the media field as well as in the relation between new media and society with the more revolutionary ones. New media communication is very sensitive to revolutionary economic, political, social and cultural changes, while at the same time new media communication makes them very sensitive.

Presenting the readers with publication on the functioning of new media in contemporary social spaces it is worth to look back and refer to the famous these by Marshal McLuhan who contributed enormously to the development the modern discourse about media and communication. He gain his renown with foreseeing humankind entering the “information age” and the beginning of the “global village” era. Global as it would include almost all contemporary world. Village as humans dispose the communication means with unprecedented speed, capacity and availability. McLuhan was also the first one who pointed out that the modern media (means of communication) become a carrying and engaging message themselves, they affect greatly the character of information and styles of perception. Moreover, he notices, the character of the communication means has greater impact in the receiver than the message itself (Understanding media the extensions of man, New York : McGraw-Hill, 1964). The reference to on of the greatest mass communication theoreticians is important as, while it was formed on the basis of observation, mainly satellite television, McLuhan’s vision practically fulfills today due to the digital revolution in the 90’s and popularization of the Internet and new media. It is today that first “digital natives” enter into adulthood (Mac Prensky), that is the children of the new media era, a generation socialized not only by the social environment: peer groups, older adults, but also – to a large degree – by the digital media.
