Decolonising the internet
This paper introduces the ‘Decolonising the Internet’ themed special issue which includes research presented at the 23rd annual Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) conference (2022). The conference theme centred on decolonisation, highlighting the persistence of colonial practices but also the resistance they generate. Focusing on the internet as entailing colonial appropriations, reproducing inequalities, and foreclosing alternative ways …
Racialism and the media
In the post-George Floyd and #BLM days, no one can deny racism. Yet we also see endless debates as to what is or isn't racism and who gets to define it (Titley 2019). It is in this space that Venis

Hybrid media and populist currents in Ireland’s 2016 General Election
Populism, or at the very least a ‘populist zeitgeist’ has advanced across the globe with populist actors from across the ideological spectrum at the forefront of politics in Europe, North and South America and Southeast Asia. One of the major components is the media and specifically hybrid media, which can inhibit or magnify populist political tendencies among both parties and voters. We utilised both hand-coded traditional media data and machine…
Refugees and Network Publics on Twitter
This article constitutes a big data study of Twitter during the peak of the so-called refugee crisis in the period between October 2015 and May 2016. The article analyzed almost 7.5 million tweets collected through hashtags such as #refugee, #refugeecrisis, # flüchtling, and others. Theoretically, the article draws on concepts such as hybrid media, affective publics, networked framing, and voice. In the context of any increasingly hybrid media, w…
(Digital) Activism at the Interstices
The paper traces the history and evolution of the anarchist and self-organising movements in Greece, paying attention to their communicative practices and their implications for political praxis. After years of repression, and following the hegemony of the social democratic Pasok, and subsequently Syriza, the movements are currently coming to their own. Beginning with a brief history of the movements and more broadly of the left in Greece, the pa…
Radical Documentaries, Neoliberal Crisis and Post-Democracy
This article examines radical documentaries in Greece as a response to neoliberal crisis and post democracy. In a context where mainstream media have made themselves irrelevant, facing historical lows in trust and credibility, we found that radical documentaries have emerged outside the commodification of information and form part of the growing social or solidarity economy in Greece. Our analysis shows that these documentaries operate through a …
Entrepreneurialism or Cooperativism
This article understands entrepreneurial journalism as part of broader socio-economic developments associated with cognitive capitalism. Entrepreneurialism represents an attempt to accumulate profit from social and collaborative processes of knowledge creation. However, knowledge and information creation are collaborative processes that build on previous accumulated knowledge and rely on openness and exchange. The tensions within cognitive capita…
Post-racial mystique
In 1963, The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan described the malaise felt by middle-class suburban housewives who appeared to have it all yet still felt dissatisfied and lacking. Fifty years later
Post-Crisis Journalism
This article is concerned with the crisis in Greek journalism and with the potential for critiques to lead to a renewal. Drawing on the pragmatic sociology of critique and using the notion of critical juncture, it argues that the role played by critiques coming from journalists themselves has been overlooked. Such critiques, emerging organically from the field, open up new opportunities and feed into practices and new journalistic initiatives. Do…

The political subject of blogs
This article focuses on blogs as a new media form, and addresses the question of shifts in political subjectivity. The blog is seen as a new way of relating to the public sphere, and to other people, thereby involving new forms of subjectivity and political conduct. Two theories of subjectivity are discussed here, selected because of their explicit links between subjectivity and communication: these are Jurgen Habermas's inter-subjective construc…

Minority Activism on the Web
Focusing on refugee support groups set up and operated by minority groups themselves, this paper asks how minority groups in Britain use the Internet in their interventions in the politics of asylum/immigration. How do minority groups online attempt to contribute to this politics, and what conclusions can we draw for the relationship(s) between the Internet and (multicultural) democracy? Theoretically, this paper discusses deliberative democracy …
