The Site of a Film Set as Material Heritage: A Case Study of the Pohjola Village from Rauta-aika (The Age of Iron) TV-Series
No full textRauta-aika (The Age of Iron, 1982), a four episode TV-series produced by YLE – the Finnish Broadcasting Company, transported the audience into a world of fantasy by successfully mixing the Finnish national epic Kalevala with elements of the local Iron Age. This paper focuses on the dismantled film set of the Pohjola village at the Seinävuori Hill in Hämeenkyrö, documented using archaeological methods in 2012, from the perspective of material heritage. While the remains visible today at the Seinävuori Hill are scarce, they continue to give a context for various meanings and experiences assigned to this place in the recent and more distant past and hence impact the heritagisation of the place
Informed & Educated: When Public Service Radio Learns from the Commercial Radio Sector
No full textUsing the Irish Radio Industry as a case study, this chapter illustrates how the Public Service Broadcaster (PSB), Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), was slow to react to change and the effect this had on the organisation’s competitiveness. This chapter analyses how RTÉ’s youth radio station, RTÉ 2fm, lost its place as the market leader to the competition including commercial station Beat and other stations as it resisted the required technological, social and economic change which ultimately affected its listenership. The author argues that the independent sector led the way in innovation and affected change which greatly benefited the industry as a whole and brought it into the digital age. This research was based on a methodology involving in-depth interviews, online surveys, textual analysis, direct observation and a longitudinal content analysis

Social Media and Platform Historiography: Challenges and Opportunities
No full textIn this article, we propose a methodological outlook for historical platform studies to increase the prominence of platform historiography in the field and practice of web history and archiving. We discuss the challenges of social media archiving and the research opportunities for ‘platform’ historiography by focusing on the distinctive characteristics of web-based social media ‘platforms’. Based on our review of the literature, we argue that it is critical to foreground how contemporary platforms serve multiple user groups beyond end users (e.g. developers, business, investors) and how they operate on multiple levels (e.g. interface, architecture, ecosystem). By attending to the multiple sides and layers of social media beyond their end users only, we can reconstruct histories of platforms, not only as social networks, but also as technical artefacts, business organisations, and more. A focus on the materiality of platforms introduces numerous underutilised archived web sources that present significant entry points and researchopportunities for platform historiography. We assess the availability of these archived sources across the leading web archives. Our results show that despite the challenges of social media archiving, platforms’ resources are in fact well-preserved if we look beyond their end-user interfaces. Drawing on illustrative examples, we discuss two sets of entry points and materials for platform historiography at length: first, for writing developer-side histories, and second, for business-side histories. We conclude with recommendations for platform historians and archiving practitioners and reflections on the future of platform historiography

German Public Television, Social Media and Audience Engagement
No full textThis article discusses how social media affect German public service broadcasting (PSB) in terms of PSB’s efforts to reach younger audiences in the digital age. Since social media play a significant role for younger media users, German PSB is attempting to integrate social media into television (commonly referred to as social TV). Social TV has the ability to develop into fairly integrated multiplatform application systems that are driven by the logic of social media. One example is the content network funk, launched by ARD and ZDF in 2016. The content network’s shows demonstrate a changed television-audience relationship within the social media environment. I will analyze this changed television-audience relationship in terms of the way it addresses audience engagement due to its policy of participation
Jamming Imperialism: Māori Radio and Postcolonial New Zealand
No full textNew Zealand as a nation state was born imperial with the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi. The Treaty established a partnership between Māori, the indigenous people, and the British Crown. The Treaty underpins all aspects of modern New Zealand. New Zealand’s history has been one of colonisation with Māori being displaced, despoiled, and deprived of their land, language, and culture. In line with this history of imperial control, radio broadcasting in New Zealand developed according to foreign models. A British-styled BBC model predominated until the 1980s when the wholesale adaptation of neoliberal ideologies saw New Zealand’s media restructured along commercial lines. At the same time, there was a resurgence and revitalisation of Māori culture and influence in New Zealand based around the Treaty of Waitangi. This article outlines the roles of imperialism in the development of New Zealand radio before analysing the rise of Māori broadcasting as a counter-imperial response along with the increasing importance played the Māori language (Te Reo Māori) in New Zealand’s postcolonial media culture
Design and Implementation of a plug-in for video-to-audio mapping
Get PDFAs a fast-growing discipline, artificial intelligence has been applied to many fields, especially contributing to product design. How to make artificial intelligence technology enhance human creativity is not only the trend of field development, but also the motivation of the SCORE! project. In this project, we designed and developed a plug-in for electronic music production embedding deep learning method for video-to-audio mapping. And study how this method can be integrated in a specific electronic music production application to assist music creation. Through the survey questionnaire, we obtained the user requirements and preferences for the development of the audio plug-in. After the design and implementation of SCORE! plug-in, we conducted a user study with experts in field of electronic music production and collected feedback with a questionnaire. In the evaluation results, the user found the SCORE! plug-in is a creative support audio plug-in that provides an efficient workflow of video selection and previewing, MIDI clips generation, MIDI clips importing for music production and synthesizer
Translating PSM Policy into Production Practices: Studying Newsroom Management Strategies towards Audience Engagement
No full textPSM policy documents aim at interactive audience engagement, but production practices show many limitations to achieve this. This article studies how PSM policy is translated into practice, by analysing the newsroom management strategies about audience engagement. In-depth interviews were conducted with managers at different levels of the Flemish public service company VRT. Results show that managers primarily aim at immersive engagement through newsroom convergence and VRT brands. They value interactive engagement as well, but those experiments remain vulnerable. Newsroom management strategies are closely based on practices and audience behaviour, while there is a much larger distance with broader VRT policy
