Information is increasingly pre-sented and expected in a digital format (such as on Web sites or CD-ROMs). As a result, organizations without internal multimedia production teams find themselves contracting with external consultants to produce digital media. The people designated to manage these consultants probably are not themselves well versed in the complexities of high-tech production.

of Master’s Thesis of Academic Year 2012 Technology-Assisted Remote Collaborative Documentary Filmmaking Workflow Design and Experiment Video Film Capture technology has never been more ubiquitous in our world. The factors driving down the price of technology while improving on the functions have made it possible for virtually anyone to be a contents creator. Consequently, this has caused a surge in selfproduced contents sharing, and the appearance of collaborative filmmaking effort. These remotely-produced, multi-user productions have created a new niche in the filmmaking industry, which is slowly-but-surely growing and gaining recognition. However, the lack of a general guide and the underutilization of open-source technologies is hampering potential participants. The research in this thesis attempts to shed light on this by detailing the experiment of the first successful remotely-produced trans-Pacific collaborative documentary film, ‘Places + Perspectives’ and the workflow whic...

For undergraduate students preparing for a future in the ever-changing field of media management, it is critical that textbooks and college courses continue to adapt to meet the industry needs. Alan Albarran effectively prepares students for careers in media in his sixth edition of Management of Electronic and Digital Media. As stated in the preface, Albarran's goal is "to give readers the insight into the challenging profession along with the necessary skills to prepare for entry into managerial positions" (Albarran, 2017, p. xvii). From the beginning of this text to the end, Albarran is successful in his goal. The author presents the information to the readers using a clear, concise, and organized approach while helping students to develop the critical thinking skills required in this fast-paced field. Management of Electronic and Digital Media is highly recommend for upper-level undergraduate Communications/Media Studies students about to embark on careers in media. Apart from individual units on "News and News Management," (Chapter 10) and a newly added capstone chapter, "Media Management: The Manager/Leader/Entrepreneur", the 340 page or 13 chapter text can be divided into four individual themes. These themes include: an overview of media management and the media business (chapters 1 and 2), leadership and management (chapters 3-6), marketing and research (chapters 7-9), and influences on media management (chapters 11 and 12). All the chapters in the text connect with one another to provide a fundamental understanding for emerging media managers, "to operate in a multiple platform 24/7/365 environment" (Albarran, 2017, p. 3). Chapters 1 and 2 provide a brief overview of the various skills, functions, and roles in the media management field. They also provide a clear and concise overview of electronic and digital media: radio, television, cable and satellite services, telecommunications, digital video platforms, and social media. This valuable information explores markets, market structures, and business models for each of the various media. The second emerging theme from the text is management and leadership. This includes specific chapters addressing ethics, management theories, financial management, and personnel management. Next, Albarran thoroughly covers audiences, research, content, and marketing. The last theme addresses the influences in media management, including regulatory and technological influences. The resulting textbook is organized, comprehensive, and relevant to students. Management of Electronic and Digital Media is up-to-date with the most recent trends in media management. This includes both content and case studies exploring big data, online distribution, mobile and cloud technology, and digital news into the newest version. Albarran has woven the newest technologies and the role of social media directly into the individual chapters, as opposed to addendums or side bars. Importantly, the author incorporates the new media into a practical application by providing current, relevant, and thought-provoking case studies. Nevertheless, this latest edition of Management of Electronic and Digital Media has retained its core content from previous editions while providing new learning opportunities for the reader. In other words, as the technologies change, the core tenets of management and leadership do not. The greatest strength of this textbook is the case studies. With over two decades of research and expertise in media management and economics, Albarran has constructed numerous case studies that lend themselves to rich discussion and meaningful learning opportunities. Each case study provides well-developed scenarios where the students are presented with real-life issues in the field. These scenarios are based on authentic events the students may encounter as media managers and SOUTHERN COMMUNICATION JOURNAL

In the last decade, the burst of the Web 2.0 has rapidly increased the amount of user generated content (UGC) on the Internet. Most of Web 2.0 applications allow users to interact with other users and edit website content. This collaborative edition is supposed to improve the content. Nowadays, the amount of people generating online content has dramatically increased. For instance, in the US, recent studies show that 35% of Internet users have created content (Flanagin, 2008). A widespread example is the online ...
