[ecrea] New special issue in Information, Communication & Society: Transforming tensions: legacy media towards participation and collaboration

Wed Jul 11 23:47:03 GMT 2012






Today Volume 15:6 of /Information, Communication & Society/ was published online, a special issue titled: /Transforming tensions: legacy media towards participation and collaboration.

/The issue consists of 8 original articles focusing transforming tensions regarding participation and collaboration, written by both junior and senior scholars specialized in this area. Transforming tensions are discussed in terms such as produsage, content-flow structures, partnerships, production–consumption circuits as well as inclusion level and inclusion distance. The special issue also shows the value of researching intra-organizational tensions to grasp the concurrent social shaping of legacy media. With many articles informing on the salient case of journalism, one can conclude that legacy news media are reluctant to relinquish all of their authority, ownership and control to individuals wanting to engage in content creation. Legacy news media are rooted in old ideologies and practices, which seem to have guided their views on the new and challenging roads of participation.

The articles, which are listed below, are available at http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rics20/15/6

Yours Sincerely
