Pristine Waters of Tasmania? An Analysis of Water Quality Governance Using a Polycentric Environmental Governance Framework
Social Media as the Fifth Estate in Nigeria
This study examines the role that social media played in the organisation of the Occupy Nigeria protest and in holding mainstream media accountable during the protest. Using a mixed-methods research design, we interviewed 19 students from two liberal Nigerian universities who participated in the protest. We also analysed 13,031 contents from protesters’ Facebook posts and tweets of the Occupy Nigeria protests. Our data reveal that social media pl…
Mobile social networking applications and the 2012 Occupy Nigeria protest
Previous studies on the use of social media to facilitate participation in protest have examined established democracies or authoritarian regimes. Participation via social media in nascent democracies has been less well documented, e.g. in those countries that democratized between the 1970s and the 1990s, including those that recently returned to democracy from military dictatorship such as Nigeria. This study has been conducted to fill this gap.…

The evolution of mobile communication in the twenty-first century has been marked by its uneven transition into mobile media – often called ‘smartphones’. Once upon a time mobile phones were little
Mobile and smartphone use in urban and rural India
Between 32 and 74 million smartphones are forecast in the Indian market by 2015.This article looks more closely into this phenomenon by comparing two studies conducted at urban and rural sites in India. Study A was based upon a corporate ethnography of ‘middle class’ urban user segments in Mumbai and Belgaum. Thirty-three in-depth interviews were conducted with ‘Mobile Only’ and ‘Mobile Heavy’ users. A number of respondents reported that a mobile…
Participatory content creation
This article uses the example of a mobile mixed-media platform – a converted three-wheeled auto-rickshaw – in Sri Lanka in order to explore whether and how content-creation activities can enable marginalised communities to have a voice. It draws upon research into participatory content-creation activities conducted in 15 locations across India, Indonesia, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. The main findings are: the need to pay attention to context when think…
Digital Literacy and Cultural Institutions
This paper argues that a focus on digital literacy could be critical to the further development of a content-rich interaction between cultural institutions and communities of interest. Passive cultural audiences and active cultural participants will continue to expect higher levels of interactivity with institutionally located content. Social media could redefine the exchange of information and meaning between content-rich cultural institutions a…

Social media and cultural interactive experiences in museums
Social media such as blogs, wikis and digital stories facilitate knowledge exchange through social networking. Such media create a new forum within which dispersed audiences - including youth, regional and rural communities - can engage with museums to actively debate notions of identity, and voice these reflections online. Social media can impact on formal and informal learning within the museum and the effect that this may have on notions of cu…
