Storytelling in Intelligence: Theoretical Foundations
Intelligence analysts frequently generate and assess “stories” to describe and explain what is going on in some situation. This activity has had little theoretical attention. The term narrative abduction is used for the processes by which reasoners estimate the plausibility of explanatory stories. This article provides a theoretical framework with analyses of key concepts, including narratives, narrative truth, narrative plausibility, and explana…
Uncertainty in humanities network visualization
Network visualization is one of the most widely used tools in digital humanities research. The idea of uncertain or “fuzzy” data is also a core notion in digital humanities research. Yet network visualizations in digital humanities do not always prominently represent uncertainty. In this article, we present a mathematical and logical model of uncertainty as a range of values which can be used in network visualizations. We review some of the princ…
Regulating Zhibo in China: Exploring multiple levels of self‐regulation and stakeholder dynamics
In recent years, user‐generated live streaming platforms have grown significantly in their popularity. However, the circulation of objectionable live streaming content and the unpredictability and high‐intensity user engagement generated by live streaming has posed challenges to the existing regulatory frameworks. In China, the situation of regulating Zhibo (literally ‘live streaming’) is arguably even more complex due to the rapid industrial cha…

Sharing News Online: Social media news analytics and their implications for media pluralism policies
While the term churnalism in this special issue speaks to the negative impacts of extensive news re-use, one pervasive form of news redistribution, social media news sharing, has had the more positive connotations of creative engagement, political participation and cross-promotion. Yet this reading of commendary culture is, as José Van Dijck suggests, largely ideological, anchored in the Silicon Valley rhetorics that support the data capture, dat…

Locative News: Mobile media, place informatics, and digital news
Location, locality, and localism have long been important characteristics of news, but their functions have been given a dramatic twist with the advent of locative, mobile media. The capabilities of mobile media devices to determine, sense, incorporate, and conjure with the relative locations of reporting and audiences have emerged as key to alternative, small- and large-scale networked news-gathering and dissemination ventures. This paper explor…
The audience politics of enhanced television formats
In this paper, we look beyond the textual implications of programmes where the audience has an on-screen role and consider the practice of television programme enhancement through voting, and the provision of spin-off products for mobile phone audiences. While creating options for audience engagement that are increasingly personalized and customized, enhanced television programmes engage in a neo-liberal rhetoric that erases the distinction betwe…
Content Delivered over Convergence Devices
In April 2006, the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts released an important report on its Review of the Regulation of Content Delivered Over Convergent Devices. This article discusses the report and its findings, noting a number of critical questions it raises for the development of convergent audiences, content and distribution
Too Soon: The Government's Media Ownership Proposals
In response to Minister Helen Coonan's discussion paper on media reform released in March, the authors survey the recent history of media ownership policy with particular reference to the Productivity Commission's visionary 2000 report on broadcasting. They argue that the present proposals fall short of the plan laid out in this report and are premature pending further development of digital media
Recalibrating Policies for Localism in Australia's Commercially Networked Tv Industry
This article considers the emergence of policies for localism within the Australian commercially networked TV industry. By historically reflecting on the construction of equalisation policies of the late 1980s, their trajectory is traced through to the ABA's regional TV news inquiry in 2001-2002. Against a background of late twentieth century international trends to deregulation, the reregulation of Australian regional TV is linked with a discuss…
Putting Violence to Work in New Media Policies: Trends in Australian Internet, Computer Game and Video Regulation
This article is concerned with key policy interventions in relation to the issue of violence in the Australian media. Media panics about violent events or violent media events, new media technologies and executive government inquiries are argued to be important elements in our analysis of policy formulation. We examine the recurring patterns in Australian regulatory policies governing media representations of violence from 1983-97. Media image re…
