Journalism Innovation
This paper discusses journalism innovation through experimental units known as “media labs”, addressing motivations, processes and outputs related to them. It is based on collaborative four-year research projects that mapped 123 labs within industry, civic society, and academia globally, with a focus on Latin America, North America and Europe. The data spans 45 interviews and 54 survey answers from lab leaders across 17 countries and covers 60 in…
Media labs
Over the past decade, media labs have become an increasingly visible structure to create, catalyse and diffuse innovation within, and beyond, journalism. In this article, we offer insights into the multiple forms media labs can take, and how innovation in the media field is being organised through labs. As such, we focus on innovation processes and practices rather than innovative outcomes. Drawing on 45 semi-structured interviews with media labs…

New Interactions
From the first studies of wearables inside MIT’s Media Lab decades ago to the smartwatches and smartglasses sold these days as consumer devices, wearables provide clues to better understand new paths to record and distribute information. Google Glass was one of the first immersive products, allowing users to capture and stream information to the Web, creating screen-based micro-interactions displayed in front of the user’s eye or sent to their sm…
Community media and design
This article details the benefits and challenges of Insight Journalism, a community engagement and research methodology developed by the interdisciplinary Bespoke project. Based in two under-resourced urban neighbourhoods in North West England, Bespoke combined community media with participatory digital design by supporting local residents to create a series of'old' and ‘new’ media outputs that were exhibited locally and used within an innovative…
MoJo in action
As citizen journalism and social media continue to influence and shape the global media landscape, and as smartphone technology becomes increasingly prevalent and affordable, this paper details four international smartphone-centric case studies that utilize a beta-stage editorial commissioning platform and accompanying smartphone. The study comes as increasing numbers of news organizations and citizen journalism tools harness the power of smartph…

Intellectual isolation, geographical isolation and information overload of academics at a rural university
This paper reports the results of a study of the information-seeking behaviour of academics for research and teaching at Charles Sturt University's Wagga Wagga campus. Thirty academics were interviewed about their information-seeking behaviour, a diary of impressions recorded from interviews was kept. and participants' reactions to draft transcripts of their interviews were noted. A key finding of this research was the way in which informationsee…
Europe's Economic Dilemma
The Historical Background
Industrialisation might have started during the period of the Roman Empire, but it failed to do so. Why was this? At first sight, it might appear that the Roman Empire had all the necessary requirements to enable a beginning to be made on applying technology to the perennial problems of economic shortage. For nearly four hundred years after the consolidation which took place under Caesar Augustus, it encompassed a large and varied area, where pea…
