Behind the “AI slop”
As generative AI becomes embedded in platform-based cultural production, new forms of creative labour are emerging that challenge established understandings of what it means to be a “creator.” This article examines AI slop creators in China, a group that uses generative tools to benchmark viral content, test formats, operate matrix account systems, and formalise production, transforming virality from an unpredictable outcome into an object of sys…
In Search of a TikTok Baseline - An empirical study of shared cultural experiences on a highly personalised digital platform
This study investigates whether a shared cultural experience—what we term the "TikTok Baseline"—exists among Australian TikTok users. While existing research suggests social media platforms’ recommendation systems contribute to homogenizing users' cultural experiences, TikTok's highly personalized, responsive algorithmic system remains understudied. To map the "TikTok Baseline", we employed a methodological approach that minimized personal data e…
Diversity’ as multidisciplinary keyword for the politics of cultural recommender systems in global digital media platforms
‘Diversity’ is a heavily freighted and multivalent keyword in the global digital media environment. The recommender systems used by platforms are particularly acute sites of development and debate around the political, cultural and technical issues ‘diversity’ signifies. Drawing on a review of computer science publications on recommender systems in media and entertainment as well as a survey of recent advances in media and cultural policy scholar…
The emergence of promotional gatekeeping and converged local music professionals on social media
The digitalization of creative industries has undermined the business models of legacy media outlets as well as the music industries. This article discusses the two primary ways that legacy media has functioned in the context of the music industries—as a producer of symbolic value and as an engine of music promotion. However, the central aim of this study is to analyze the development of these functions in the new media sphere by identifying musi…

Humor That Harms? Examining Racist Audio-Visual Memetic Media on TikTok During Covid-19
During times of crisis such as the Covid-19 pandemic, digital platforms are under public scrutiny to guarantee users’ online safety and wellbeing. Following inconsistencies in how platforms moderate online content and behavior, governments around the world are putting pressure on them to curb the spread of illegal and lawful harmful content and behavior (e.g., UK’s Draft Online Safety Bill). These efforts, though, mainly focus on overt abuse and …
Platform Specificities
Social media platforms shape our lives on micro, meso and macro levels. They have transformed our everyday practices as individuals, or social practices as small and large groups, and have multiple, entangled impacts on rituals of democracy and cultural (re)production, organization of labor and industry. This panel brings together five papers, each by authors of recently published or forthcoming platform books. Together, the papers offer an analy…
‘Please Read the Comments’
An old adage about the internet goes “Don’t Read The Comments”. It is a cynical word of caution from supposedly more experienced and savvy internet users, against a slew of negative, abusive, and unhelpful comments that are usually rampant online, stemming from trolling behaviour (Phillips 2015). “Don’t Read The Comments” has become an internet meme. Alongside parody websites (i.e. @AvoidComments n.d.), trawling through the comments section in se…
You Made This? I Made This
In 2019, TikTok captivated international attention as a breakout short-video platform. A key affordance for user-generated content creators on TikTok is how easy the platform makes reproducing popular videos. The video creation interface allows users to make new videos based on the one they were just watching with just one tap. While these features make it fun and easy for users to replicate popular videos, it can also obscure the identity of the…
Big Data, Method and the Ethics of Location
With the rise of geo-social media, location is emerging as a particularly sensitive data point for big data and digital media research. To explore this area, we reflect on our ethics for a study in which we analyze data generated via an app that facilitates public sex among men who have sex with men. The ethical sensitivities around location are further heightened in the context of research into such digital sexual cultures. Public sexual culture…
Business Innovation and Disruption in the Music Industry
A recurring and pervasive narrative on the topic of innovation in media industries privileges the part played by technology in transforming the roles and interests of actors across the spectrum of media sectors, and their established practices and modes of operation. This is not least so in the case of the music industry that has (periodically across many decades) witnessed the evolution of a variety of technological innovations that have been wi…
Diversity in creative teams
The success of many creative projects depends on how people are able to work uniformly in teams that are composed just for a limited time and without any expectations for further collaborations. In addition, each team member is different from the others because of their own experience, technical background and beliefs. Even though diversity has been recognized to be a source of creativity, various studies show contrasting results of its effect on…
Opinions
Several months ago, when Jakob, Timothy and I were planning this spring's issue of the JBA, we realised that we would probably have two articles ready for publication on professional people-architects and fashion designers-regarded as "creative."So, in an attempt to overcome the randomness of journal submissions and to create a thematic flow for our readers, we decided to seek opinions on creativity and innovation from people in the business worl…
International Perspectives on Business Innovation and Disruption in the Creative Industries
Biased Interrogations
This study, based on Swedish data from three elections (2002, 2006 and 2010) and on a revised version of Clayman's and Heritage's conceptualization of aggressive questioning, examines bias in election campaign interviews with leading political figures. In the first part of the study, the prevalence of partisan bias is explored, and this analysis confirms that such bias does not exist. Informed by Conversation Analysis, a limited number of intervi…
Literary Prosumers
The production of culture is today a matter of ‘user generated content’ and young people are vital participants as ‘prosumers’, i.e. both producers and consumers, of cultural products. Among other things, they are busy creating fan works (stories, pictures, films) based on already published material. Using the genre fan fiction as a point of departure, this article explores the drivers behind net communities organised around fan culture and argue…
Music Production in Times of Monopoly
For several decades now, Sweden has been successful in the worldwide popular music arena. This article explores how Sweden, as an integral part of the global music industry, has been able to cope with the changed market conditions brought about by regulatory changes and digital technologies. The article reflects on the virtualization of music distribution, the decline of the long‐play album and the ageing popular music audience
The Enemy of Music
The purpose of this explorative study is to contribute to the understanding of current music industry dynamics. The situation is undeniably quite dramatic: Since the turn of the millennium, the global music industry has declined by $US 6.2 billion in value—a fall of 16.3% in constant dollar terms. IFPI, the trade organization representing the international recording industry, identifies a number of exogenous factors as the main drivers of the dow…
