“…For instance, communication researchers have examined the way smartphone witnessing affects journalistic practice (Allan, ; Thorsen & Allan, ), encroached journalism's professional borders (Al‐Ghazzi, ; Ali & Fahmy, ; Figueiredo, Prado, Câmara, & Albuquerque, ), and changed coverage of social movements (Mortensen, ; Semati & Brookey, ). Much of this work focuses on the perspectives of journalists and their professional interests rather than the larger context of citizenship and democracy.…”

Police accountability organizations known as "cop-watching" groups are proliferating thanks to smartphone penetration and the ease of video sharing on social networks. These groups use digital media technologies to challenge official accounts of events and encroach on the borders of traditional journalism. This qualitative project collected material over the course of 2 years, and uses participant observation and long-form interviews to explore the nature of this activism. Grounded analysis suggests that cop-watching represents a unique form of citizenship; one that combines text and practice to produce embodied narratives, which can give voice to the concerns of others. As a form of so-called sousveillance, cop-watching extends and complicates existing theories about surveillance, journalism, and visual evidence.

“…For example, rural Brazilian communities adopted vlogs to empower citizen journalism and build self-sustainable telecommunication centers [9]. The D/deaf community also uses vlogging as an alternative medium for rich communication [15].…”

Health video blogs (vlogs) allow individuals with chronic illnesses to share their stories, experiences, and knowledge with the general public. Furthermore, health vlogs help in creating a connection between the vlogger and the viewers. In this work, we present a qualitative study examining the various methods that health vloggers use to establish a connection with their viewers. We found that vloggers used genres to express specific messages to their viewers while using the uniqueness of video to establish a deeper connection with their viewers. Health vloggers also explicitly sought interaction with their viewers. Based on these results, we present design implications to help facilitate and build sustainable communities for vloggers.

“…This content is evolving from single-user, single-clip uploads to collaboratively produced rich media (e.g Qwiki, Kaltura). It is also is increasingly offering the opportunity for live broadcast (Qik, Livestream, YouTube Live), and this has been applied in areas as diverse as live community and crowdsourced news broadcasts, sports TV and emergency management [6,8,14]. Alongside these developments, an emerging field of research addresses the interactional and experiential challenges of these new video formats [1,17,22,24].…”

We explore the use of a live video broadcast system by a group of amateur camera operators to film an event on networked cameraphones. Using an interaction analysis of physical interactions and orientations to the work of others, we examine their choice of camera angles and positions in their filming as they attempt to provide interesting visual content and a coherent narrative. Findings illustrate how users adapt their behaviour as co-ordination problems occur by drawing from a set of everyday visual practices ('amateur vision'). They also show how the specifically temporal aspect of live video requires extended attention on its production, and that this is at odds with the 'recreational orientation' of amateur film crews who simultaneously participate in events for their own enjoyment and film them on behalf of other viewers. Implications for the design of collaborative live broadcast media are made, focusing on approaches to interaction design that augment users' visual practices and allow users to look on behalf of others while experiencing places and events themselves.
