Resisting the News : Engaged Audiences, Alternative Media, and Popular Critique of Journalism
Resisting the News brings together unique insights from activists and alternative-media users to offer a distinctive perspective on the problems of journalism today—and how to fix them. Using critical-cultural theory and, in particular, the conceptual frameworks of ritual communication and interpretive communities, this book examines how audiences filter their interpretations of mainstream news through the prisms of their identities and experiences with alternative media and political protest.Jennifer Rauch gives voice to alternative-media audiences and illuminates the cultural resources, values, assumptions, critical skills, and discursive strategies through which they make sense of their news environments.Drawing on a 15-year research project, Rauch employs a variety of qualitative, quantitative, and quasi-ethnographic methods, including focus groups, media-use diaries, close-ended surveys, and open-ended questions, to paint a layered portrait of liberal and conservative critiques of journalism. Shedding new light on popular theories about "how news works" and about "mass" audiences, this book will be useful to students, scholars, and teachers of political communication, journalism studies, media studies, and critical-cultural studies.

Pop Culture, Politics, and the News : Entertainment Journalism in the Polarized Media Landscape
In Pop Culture, Politics, and the News, Joel Penney explores how pop culture news has taken on an important role in contemporary political discourse.Through coverage of topics like Hollywood diversity, celebrity controversy, and "cancel culture" backlash, entertainment journalism has emerged as a key source of political information and commentary, providing audiences with an accessible lens into some of the most hot-button issues of our time.Yet due to the "clickbait" economics of the polarized digital news business, the quality of entertainment journalism is often compromised, and consequently, people view pop culture coverage as "soft news" with little substance or public value.Very little is known about how this journalism is produced and consumed as a component of the digital news ecosystem.Moreover, we lack a measured sense of its potential impact on the political interests and knowledge of its audiences, the politics of the entertainment industry it covers, and the shape of public debate more broadly.Drawing on interviews with entertainment journalists and testimonials from news audiences who share these stories on social media, Joel Penney argues for the importance of reframing our understanding of impactful journalism and persuasive political communication when culture and identity have moved thoroughly to the center of U.S. public discourse. Moreover, Penney examines how audiences engage with this highly accessible and emotionally resonant form of journalism and use it as a resource for political expression and discussion, raising important questions about how it can serve as a bridge to public issue engagement as well as a potential distraction from on-the-ground political concerns.As a cutting-edge, data-rich analysis of the blurring boundaries between entertainment, politics, social media activism, and partisan journalism, Pop Culture, Politics, and the News makes a major contribution to public scholarship on the shifting digital information landscape.

Power and Loss in South African Journalism : News in the Age of Social Media
This timely collection of essays analyses the crisis of journalism in contemporary South Africa at a period when the media and their role are frequently at the centre of public debate.The transition to digital news has been messy, random and unpredictable.The spread of news via social media platforms has given rise to political propaganda, fake news and a flattening of news to banality and gossip.Media companies, however, continue to shrink newsrooms, ousting experienced journalists in favour of 'content producers'.Against this backdrop, Daniels points out the contribution of investigative journalists to exposing corruption and sees new opportunities emerging to forge a model for the future of non-profit, public-funded journalism.Engaging and dynamic, the book argues for the power of public interest journalism, including investigative journalism, and a diversity of voices and positions to be reflected in the news.It addresses the gains and losses from decolonial and feminist perspectives and advocates for a radical shift in the way power is constituted by the media in the South African postcolony.A valuable introduction to the confusion that confronts journalism students, it has much to offer practising media professionals.Daniels uses her years of experience as a newspaper journalist to write with authority and illuminate complex issues about newsroom politics. Interviews with alienated media professionals and a semi-autobiographical lens add a personal element that will appeal to readers interested in the inner life of the media.

News Nerds : Institutional Change in Journalism
The content of news has not changed much over the last century--politicians, celebrities, wars, crime, and sports dominate past and present headlines.Yet, the ways in which journalists both gather and disseminate information have been turned on their head.Gone are the days of editors assigning stories to writers, who then research, inquire, and present what they found in a compelling yet accurate fashion.Today's journalists are coding, programming, running analytics, and developing apps.These "news nerds" are industry professionals working in jobs at the intersection of traditional journalism and technologically intensive positions that were once largely separate.Consequently, news nerds have changed the institutionalized view of journalism, which now accounts for these professionals.News Nerds explores how technological, economic, and societal changes are impacting the institutionalized profession of journalism.Allie Kosterich draws on a mixed-methods research design that blends interviews, social network analysis of LinkedIn data, job postings, and industry publications to make sense of how skills and practices become entrenched throughout the news industry.Taken together, these data reveal the ways in which the profession is evolving to incorporate new technological skillsets and new routines of production. In telling these stories and sharing these findings, Kosterich directly confronts what happens when new skillsets and new ways of understanding and producing news start to collide with the old routines of journalism.News Nerds introduces the notion of institutional augmentation--a process of institutional change that is not restricted to the expected binary outcome of the reinstitutionalization of something new or failure as a fleeting fad.Instead, as in the case of news nerds and journalism, there exists an alternative possibility in the coexistence of supplementary institutions.News Nerds provides a timely and relevant analysis of contemporary journalism and a model for understanding how industries react to the emergence of new career trajectories and new categories of employment.

'Function or no function?'
A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one output. To determine if a relation is a function, we can use the vertical line test. If a vertical line can intersect the graph of the relation at more than one point, then it is not a function. If the vertical line intersects the graph at only one point for every input value, then the relation is a function.

What is the function of repeaters and powerline media?
Repeaters are used to extend the range of a network by regenerating and retransmitting signals, thereby overcoming the limitations of signal degradation over long distances. They are commonly used in wired and wireless communication networks to ensure that the signal remains strong and clear as it travels through the network. Powerline media, on the other hand, refers to the use of electrical power lines for data transmission. Powerline communication technology allows for the transmission of data over existing power lines, providing a convenient and cost-effective way to extend network connectivity throughout a building or home. This technology is particularly useful in situations where it may be difficult or impractical to run new network cables.
