‘Now they’re going to find us on a map’
Local councils often struggle with how and when to insert novel urban planning ideas into local discourses and effect change from ‘above’. This article examines the pre-suasive communication strategies employed by the Moreton Bay Regional Council (MBRC) to realign the city's planning horizons and branding, and to convince stakeholders that the Moreton Bay Region (MBR) should become a city. Support for the proposed changes was initially uncertain …
Fabricating Stateless Income
While upending domestic and global news media’s advertising income streams via the provision of superior “commercial datafication” (Mansell, 2021) and “digital tracking and profiling” (Christl, 2017) functionalities, Multinational Platform Corporations (MNPCs) have also implemented opaque strategies to minimize their domestic and global tax liabilities. These strategies have been an important contributor to both Meta and Alphabet’s surging profit…

“Communal News Work” as Sustainable Business Model
The Covid-19 emergency in Australia precipitated the closure of dozens of print newspapers across Australia but, conversely, the heightened state of anxiety of the early Covid-19 period amplified the need for local information and communality. This was the impetus for a wave of print-centric newspaper start-ups. We previously examined 22 Covid-19 era start-ups in Queensland (see Barnes et al., 2022, p. 21–34) and found that their editors/publishe…
Valorizing Credibility
Several South African news organizations emerged in the 2010s determined to provide public journalism in more durable, accessible, and credible ways. Partly responding to the disruption of the news industry’s business models by platform companies, and sustained attempts to delegitimize journalism by populist political parties, these organizations articulated the case for evidence-based, verified journalism, and pioneered more transparent and mult…
‘This is ridiculous – I need to start a paper…’
In May 2020 at the height of Australia's first national COVID lockdown, NewsCorp Australia announced that more than 125 regional newspapers would either be closed or become available online-only. Queensland was hit hard with 22 regional and 20 community newspapers shifting to online formats, and 15 community newspapers closing. Yet within months of the NewsCorp changes, a significant number of new print newspapers were being announced to fill the…
Public pedagogies in post-literate cultures
In this paper we present a perspective on normalisation that turns on public pedagogies; that is, on ambient, ever-present systems of mediated experience that consciously teach ways of seeing, evaluating, acting, and reacting. Our perspective is further focused by theories of literacy and utopianism. It takes the view that we are in, or at least fast moving towards, post-literate cultures for which instructions to achieve political utopias are gr…
Decolonising Digital Media Research Methods
This introductory essay argues for a decolonial approach that privileges qualitative methods in ways that position African digital experiences as “epistemic sites” of knowledge production in their own right in digital media scholarship. In proffering this argument, we challenge and confront elements of the global knowledge system, which are driven by an implicit “civilising mission” in which methods and intellectual approaches drawn from the West…
“But is it Journalism?” Reflections on Online Informational Roles and Content Creation Practices of a Sample of South African Lawyers
In the era of social media, journalism is no longer the preserve of journalists. In specialised fields, such as law, the public in general and lawyers and legal academics specifically are able to “push in” and report and comment publicly on legal matters including trials, commissions, acts of law passed in parliament and other legal processes. These contributions, as this paper explores, are reshaping the contours and content of public discussion…
