Social media in the newspaper newsroom : the professional use of Facebook and Twitter at Rapport and The Mail & GuardianJordaan, Marenet 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil) -- Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In a time of uncertainty for newspapers due in part to dwindling circulation, loss of
advertising revenue and declining readership, Internet-based technologies have continued to
grow. The unprecedented rise of social media, of which Facebook and Twitter are wellknown
examples, has not gone unnoticed by the newspaper community. Despite their initial
misgivings about the credibility of the information disseminated on these media, mainstream
journalists worldwide have gradually started to adopt social media as professional tools.
Social media serve as channels that help to funnel information towards journalists. Some
newspaper journalists also use these media to broadcast news and promote their personal
brands.
The continued use of social media on a professional level will arguably have an
impact on the daily routines and cultures within a newsroom. Academic research in this area
is limited, especially within the South African context. This study explores whether the
professional use of social media, with specific reference to Facebook and Twitter, influences
the processes and cultures of news selection and presentation at the South Africa newspapers
Rapport and the Mail & Guardian. A newsroom study within a social constructionism
paradigm employed a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies,
including self-administered questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and ethnography.
The main findings of this study were that the majority of journalists at Rapport and
the Mail & Guardian used Facebook and Twitter actively on a professional level – mainly for
trend tracking. The newsroom cultures were open and encouraging towards social media use.
Journalists were also aware that social media create opportunities for their audiences to
challenge the traditional roles of journalists and the realities constructed by the mainstream
media. According to the journalists from Rapport and the Mail & Guardian the professional
use of social media had not significantly altered their processes of news selection and
presentation. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Terwyl koerante ’n onsekere tyd beleef, deels weens dalende sirkulasiesyfers, ’n verlies aan
advertensie-inkomste en ’n afname in lesertalle, het Internetgebaseerde tegnologieë aanhou
groei. Die ongekende groei van sosial media, waarvan Facebook en Twitter welbekende
voorbeelde is, het nie ongesiens by die koerantgemeenskap verby gegaan nie. Ondanks hul
aanvanklike bedenkinge oor die geloofwaardigheid van inligting wat op dié media versprei
word, het hoofstroomjoernaliste wêreldwyd geleidelik begin om sosiale media as
professionele hulpmiddels te aanvaar. Sosial media dien as kanale waardeur inligting na
joernaliste vloei. Sommige koerantjoernaliste gebruik ook die media om nuus uit te saai en
hul persoonlike handelsmerk te bemark.
Die volgehoue gebruik van sosial media op ’n professionele vlak sal bes moontlik ’n
impak op die daaglikse roetine en kulture binne ’n nuuskantoor hê. Akademiese navorsing op
die gebied is beperk, veral binne die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks. Hierdie navorsing ondersoek
of die professionele gebruik van sosiale media, met spesifieke verwysing na Facebook en
Twitter, ’n invloed het op die prosesse en kulture van nuusseleksie en
-aanbieding by die Suid-Afrikaanse koerante Rapport en die Mail & Guardian. ’n
Nuuskantoorstudie, binne ’n sosiale konstruktivisme paradigma, het ’n kombinasie van
kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe navorsingsmetodologieë ingespan, insluitende:
selfgeadministreerde vraelyste, halfgestruktureerde onderhoude en etnografie.
Die hoofbevindinge van die studie was dat die meerderheid van die joernaliste by
Rapport en die Mail & Guardian Facebook en Twitter aktief op ’n professionele vlak gebruik
het – hoofsaaklik om tendense dop te hou. Die nuuskantoorkulture was oop en aanmoedigend
teenoor die gebruik van sosiale media. Joernaliste was ook bewus daarvan dat sosiale media
geleenthede skep vir hul gehore om die tradisionele rol van joernaliste, sowel as die realiteite
wat deur die hoofstroommedia geskep word, te betwis. Volgens die joernaliste van Rapport
en die Mail & Guardian het die professionele gebruik van sosiale media nie hul
nuusinsamelings- en aanbiedingsprosesse noemenswaardig beïnvloed nie.

The First Child-Generation on the Internet : A Qualitative Study on Childhood Experiences of Internet Use in the Early 2000sSilva Da Cruz Tiderman, Rebecca, Uusimäki, Sara January 2021 (has links)
The aim of the study was to explore internet use among individuals that were children at the beginning of the 2000s. We wanted to understand what being one of the first children on the internet meant to them, what type of platforms they used, how they used them and in relation to whom. These research questions were formulated: - What initiated children in the early 2000s to start using the internet and how did they interpret their own internet use? - What did children in the early 2000s do on the internet and how were internet platforms used? - How could children’s internet use in the early 2000s be understood in relation to a sense of belonging and group affiliation? To collect the material, we conducted four focus group discussions with Swedish and German adults, we then transcribed and analyzed the collected data with the help of a thematic analysis. We identified three main themes and seven subthemes. Our results indicated that the first child-generation on the internet enjoyed playing games and interacting with friends. The most popular platform among the participants was the chat forum MSN. The results also showed an increase in internet use due to its development in terms of better internet connection and the internet gaining a more acceptable place within the homes of the general public as well as within education. We also found that socioeconomic status had an impact on the children’s interpretations of the internet. Further our study showed that the use and the development of the internet had an important impact on the children, both in terms of maintaining relationships but also in terms of learning and bettering life prospects. Internet platforms were fun to use alone, as well as in the company of others. They were thus places where children could connect with other children with similar interests as themselves and gain a sense of belonging.

Internet use among university students in Kenya : a case study of the University of NairobiWaithaka, Mercy Wangechi 09 1900 (has links)
The researcher investigated internet usage among students at the University of Nairobi using a quantitative case study method. A questionnaire-based survey was done among 381 students and face-to-face interviews were conducted with the university‟s library staff. The research findings indicate that the students' level of awareness about the internet services offered at the university was high. The students had good basic computer and internet skills; however, they lacked more advanced skills and this negatively affected their use of internet resources. The students used the internet for various purposes, including to study, teach and do research; to communicate; and for social interaction. The major recommendations of the study include providing formal internet training and adequate facilities; implementing a better, inclusive policy on internet use; and better co-ordinated university efforts. Free internet access should be made available to all the university students, if not all members of the university community. / Information Science / M.A. (Information Science)

Social comparison, social networking sites, and the workplaceTomasik, Rachel E. January 2015 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Although social comparison has been studied for over 60 years, little research has
been done to determine the effects it has on the workplace. Moreover, the explosion of
social networking sites and their potential impact on the workplace have been largely
overlooked by organizational researchers. Therefore, this study will attempt to evaluate
the effect social comparison, specifically through social media, has on work relevant
outcomes such as one’s job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and entitlement, moderated by
materialism (relevance) and job expectations (attainability) of the referent other.
Participants selected from an alumni database of a large Midwestern University were
asked to view a manipulated Facebook newsfeed page and then complete a brief survey
(N=290). A hierarchical multiple regression was conducted to assess the hypotheses.
Results, implications, and limitations are also discussed.
