“…Depending on the ideal identity that one may want to construct on a "front stage" platform like blogs, giving an impression of objectivity and therefore professionalism may be more (or less) important. It may be more important for professionals even if they blog in a personal capacity and not on an organisational blog (Greenland, 2013). For example, research of politicians who blog in a personal capacity has shown that they actively crafted a professional identity by using formal prose and covering topics of political interest (Nilsson, 2012).…”

Blogs are a valuable information source for health researchers and individuals managing chronic conditions such as obesity. Yet, there is little research on obesity blogs with existing studies focusing on specific obesity-related issues or examining blogging as a weight loss tool. Even less is known about how the overall obesity experience is conceptualised by blogging individuals and medical experts (particularly via metaphor-a device that aids discussions of sensitive issues) or the addressivity and self-presentation strategies employed on an interactive platform which affords tailored identity construction. This study analysed 343 posts from six (personal and professional) obesity blogs using critical metaphor analysis and addressivity analysis. The preferred source domain of metaphors in both blog types was Journey-with potentially positive implications for doctor-patient communication. Across blogs, Journey metaphors were recruited to highlight similar aspects of obesity in ways that challenged the mainstream before-after weight loss narrative. In personal blogs, Journey metaphors were employed to present the authors as travellers; in professional blogs, as guides. Metaphors thus contributed to self-presentations consistent with traditional views of the doctor-patient relationship. Finally, while individuals used various addressivity strategies, medical experts preferred those that project professionalism.

“…While the literature surrounding blogging activities in the field of library and information science is vast (e.g. Bender, 2014;Greenland, 2013;Coulter & Draper, 2006;Wilson & Yowell, 2008), the subfield relating to educational blogging is relatively small and emergent (e.g. Aharony, 2010;Bishop, Tillman, Geiger, Haynes, Klaper, Murphy, Orr, Pedersen, DeStefano & Hamers, 2014;Cobus, 2009;Crane, 2007;Alqudsi-Ghabra & Al-Bahrani, 2012).…”

This report discusses a project that forms connections between design experiment and informed learning approaches to designing learning activities supportive of open information literacy and scholarly communication among library and information science graduate students. Open information literacy is defined as information literacy relating specifically toward leveraging open access and open educational resources. Focus is placed on implications for research and practice by exploring one example of a hybridised, informed learning design experiment that fused subject content and open information practice. This project report represents an early step in thinking about the possibilities of infusing informed learning research structures and strategies with design experiments.

“…In recent years, the focus has shifted to the so-called prosumers: readers and consumers that produce content and participate in the social media and internet spaces of the traditional media. The main aspects have been bloggers' lack of ethics, especially on delicate issues such as health (Hsin-Hsuan, Van Dolen and Kolk 2013) and voting (Bermúdez 2012, Greenland 2013, Henderson 2013. Research specifically about online newspaper comments and participation on Twitter (Ferré-Pavia 2014) has revealed a lack of ethical commitment with respect to migrants and the massive use of Twitter in social demonstrations in Spain to express emotion but not to inform or mobilize.…”

For thirteen consecutive years, Catalan public broadcasting journalists have protested against the so-called coverage quotas established by Spanish electoral regulations. According to those regulations, during election campaigns, broadcasters are required to use a calculated number related to the proportion of votes cast in the previous election to determine the amount of broadcast time they allot to each party. Journalists have repeatedly and publicly complained about the quotas, while simultaneously explaining the effects of the quotas to the audience and not crediting authorship of this news. This paper undertakes an in-depth analysis of the case and its historical roots from different angles: the protests, the journalists’ professional roles, the political parties’ strategies, the roles of the regulatory boards and the initiatives taken by some professional organizations and institutions. The theoretical framework focuses on the mistrust between the political class and journalists in the context of a mediatized conflict with ethical implications. The methodology includes extensive document examination, news content analysis and interviews. The results indicate that the Spanish political class has deemed the performance of the Catalan public broadcaster as tending to equate political information with electoral spots controlled by parties. The consequence of this has been an enduring conflict between politicians and Catalan journalists that distances citizens from both of them. Keywords: Spanish public media, media conflict, journalistic-political conflict, politics and ethics in media.
