“…Is radio a medium that is defined purely by its mode of delivery -radio waves -or is it something more nuanced than that, in which case the visual elements discussed here are merely an evolution? Meikle and Young (2012) argue that "Technologies are social and cultural systems" (P24) Radio as a technology was devised as a point-topoint means of communication but cultural process morphed into a one-to-many medium and is now evolving yet again into something which could be multiplatform at its core. Meikle and Young continue: "The one-way radios in our kitchens and cars exemplify the fact that technologies do not exist entirely in some kind of scientific or engineering realm, but are shaped by wider and social reality.. (where)… The actions of a technology's initial designer are just the first act in a process of negotiation" (ibid, P25).…”

Abstract.Radio has always had pictures. The ones the listener created in their own minds and this is, most of us agree, one of the medium's greatest strengths. However, radio is increasingly consumed on a digital platform (such as DAB Radio, Digital TV, a mobile device or a computer) on devices with screens, rather than a dial. This creates a problem for radio because when we look at the device we are listening to we see a screen that often lacks rich content. The process of Radio Visualisation is about filling this space. This papers focus, though, is the other ways in which radio is visualising itself online in a process that deploys transmedia storytelling techniques that build relationships with the audience, builds brands and helps broadcasters to tell stories in ways never before possible.

The key objectives of this article is to analyze and discuss the influence of digital convergence/divergence on digital media business models. The identification of sustainable and hyper-competitive digital media business models is an urgent priority as continuing decline in audiences, collapse of traditional/old media organizations and the decrease of the economic and social influence of traditional media pose a major threat to media, democracy, ICT and telecommunications industry, with scholars agreeing that further erosion of media industry also have major implications for the advertising industry and a wide range of content producers. The successful digital media and ICT corporations will have to act more as corporate planners, as well as ‗cloud', ‗on-demand' and ‗ubiquitous' content and distributor disaggregators, than traditional content and advertising providers. In summary, the second decade of the 21st century digital media is apparently becoming increasingly interactive, mobile, immersive, and ubiquitous. Furthermore, the future of the media appears to be specifically oriented towards the establishment of, networked, 3D, on-demand, broadband and unicast as well as multimedia and hypermedia models of distribution, communication and content creation. Therefore, it is crucial that profitable digital media companies realize that media divergence can successfully perform as vendor lock-in a top-down corporate process and a bottom-up consumer-driven process. The digital business models influenced by digital convergence/divergence will focus on aggregate multi-platform distribution, complementarities, vendor lock-in, interoperable and networked media and ICT ecosystem, massive personalization/customization, user interface.

“…This study also placed perceived homophily at the heart of OURS, putting the social at the forefront of social media. Meikle and Young [8] state that 'with social media it is no longer always clear whether we are being addressed as "someone" or "everyone".' With such dubious personalisation in evidence, it seems that travellers seek to redress this balance to reclaim their own identity, and engage perceived homophily to transform the 'everyone' into 'someone'.…”

Who needs trust when you know everything? Dealing with information abundance on a consumer-review Web site

Ideas about trust have been based on information scarcity. To overcome the uncertainty associated with choice, people gather information; when that is not enough, they turn to trust in order to make a decision. Consumer-review Web sites offer information abundance, however, which demands a re-evaluation of the function of trust under such circumstances. This study uses a survey to investigate the role of trust in the traveller review site TripAdvisor. It uses five concept pairings — two measurements of experience using the site, two forms of uncertainty, two mechanisms of information-seeking, two forms of trust and two behavioural outcomes — to explore how trust operates amidst information abundance. It proposes that while consumer-review Web sites overcome primary uncertainty (risk of making a poor choice) by providing information, they produce a secondary uncertainty (inability to assess all options) based on concerns about processing the mass of information efficiently. This study finds that trust plays a role in reducing both primary and secondary uncertainty, but not in decision-making. It proposes that trust may be subsumed into information seeking on information-abundant consumer-review Web sites, and discusses implications for how trust is understood and what it means for effective reviewer sites.
