When outcome expectations become habitual: explaining vs. predicting new media technology use from a social cognitive perspective

This study examined the triadic relationship between expected outcomes, habit strength, and media technology use within the model of media attendance (Larose & Eastin, 2004). Mobile phone users (N = 664) were divided into two groups using a stratified random sampling method. Respondents of group one (n = 334) were surveyed on existing mobile phone use, respondents of group two (n = 310) were surveyed on the intention to use mobile video phone. On the basis of structural equation analysis, the results of this study support the assumption that within the model of media attendance existing media use is more likely to be explained by habit strength, and new media use is more likely to be predicted by outcome expectations

New Media, Technology and Internet Use in Indian Country

The goal of this study was to gather information and develop a plan for tribes with radio stations and those without access to radio transmission facilities to use broad band media technologies to serve their communities. Since no research or data existed regarding Internet usage in Indian Country, this study sought to fill in this data gap and explore best practices and replicable models for developing broad band projects in Indian Country

Media and cyber-democracy in Africa: an introduction

The paper provides a sketch of the discourse of media and ‘cyber-democracy’ in and out of Africa. Firstly, it discusses the characteristic features of new media technology. Secondly, it attempts a ‘theorising’ of cyber-democracy, within the context of general democratic theory. Thirdly, it sets out a vision of cyber-democracy for Africa. In delineating this vision, it highlights six features characteristic of the democratic potential of new media technology and gives examples of how Africa has appropriated them. Finally, it outlines a ‘new media’ research agenda for Africa

Challenges of New Media Technology in Reshaping Parent-Child Communication

This study aims to determine the importance of new media and its effectiveness in communication between parent-child.  These findings demonstrate that new media technology is essential nowadays between parent and child communication.  Responses from the survey indicate that communicating with family members is very effective with smartphones using applications to converse with each other.  The importance of communication towards family is prioritized over individual needs.  In family communication, new media has helped parents and children connect in some way or another and allows a closer connection among them.

An Analysis of How Education, Age, Overseas Assignments, and Mavenism Impact Use of New Media Technology

Previous research into new media technology usage has typically been limited to young adults ages 18-24. However this study will include age, education, overseas assignments, presence of mavenism, and information security concerns as variables impacting new media usage. For the purpose of this study, new media is defined by devices, activities, and social arrangements (Lievrouw & Livingstone, 2006). While dozens of new media technology are available, the scope of this research examined individual’s use of blogs, online social networks, and downloadable content. Data about new media was gathered through a literature review and by conducting interviews with people that are frequent users of new media technology. By conducting interviews with individuals that use new media for at least a few hours a week, in one or more different technologies, it was determined which variables impact new media users the most. This research concluded that age, education, overseas assignments, and a presence of mavenism by themselves do not have a significant effect on new media usage. However, information security concerns were shown to have a significant impact on new media usage

Technology Training For Administrators And Pastors In The Greater New York Conference Of Seventh-day Adventists

Problem The Greater New York Conference (GNYC) is located in what is considered the media capital of the world. Media and technology have changed our lives in meaningful ways, both globally and locally. The church in its local context, in this technological age, is struggling to adapt technology in meaningful and effective ways to impact discipleship and evangelism practices. I observed that the administrators and most of the pastors in the GNYC do not understand how to adapt today’s media technology effectively, and therefore, lack a vision regarding how this tool can be effectively adapted for ministry delivery. Method A training strategy on new media technology was done in three phases. First, a minimum of four digital presentations was given to a large group of GNYC pastors. Second, pastors elected to become participants in a small, peer-training group of a minimum of five participants and a maximum of ten for reporting purposes. An annual ministers’ technology conference was established as an ongoing effort towards continuing education training in new media technology for the general pastoral workforce. Results A series of five digital presentations were made to the pastors in the GNYC to increase awareness of technology in ministry. Eight pastors became a part of the yearlong peer group training on new media technology in areas such as social media, Facebook, Twitter, webstreaming, mobile apps and texting programs, blogging, digital discipleship and evangelism tools. All eight participants were successful in adapting new media technology within their ministry context. An annual Ministers Technology Conference was established within the conference. A training strategy for possible organizational adaptation called ITEM emerged from the training. Conclusion New media technology is not to be feared. Pastors can develop an effective strategy for ministry adaptation unique to their local ministry. This adaptation may be quick or slow depending on personnel, budget and timing. The pastors in this study were trained and, in most cases, adapted multiple new media technologies successfully to their ministry context. This represents a template for the ever-new and changing world of technology which, when rightly adopted, can be a powerful tool for effective discipleship and evangelism

New media technology and new business models: Speculations on ‘post-advertising’ paradigms

This article offers some speculations on the challenges that new media technology poses to the concept and practice of advertising, particularly the impact of open-content technology. It canvasses a number of globalizing trends, notably Web 2.0 technology and culture, user-generated content, and the industry buzz about emerging business models enabled by 2.0. As digital marketing has taken shape and become more technologically driven than ever, advertising is no longer the only, nor even the primary, source of revenue for new media. Apart from mapping the new terrain, the paper examines some 2.0 revenue models for the purpose of inviting researchers to think beyond the parameters set by plain old advertising. On the methodological front, the paper argues that keeping ourselves abreast of new revenue strategies brings to the fore a number of key areas of investigation hitherto understudied by academic advertising researchers, in particular media technology and digital copyright protocols

Sensory Screens, Digitized Desires: Dancing Rasa From Bombay Cinema To Reality TV

Bombay cinema incorporated songs, dances, choreography, staging, and costumes from a variety of traditional forms to mark a modern national identity. The pioneering figure for using dance in films was Uday Shankar in his experimental film Kalpana. Bombay’s spectacular song-and-dance cinema then moves through films such as Chandralekha to contemporary Bollywood and its byproducts such as dance reality shows. The search for aesthetic modernity in India is embodied in the concept of “desire” as it evolved from traditional aesthetics to contemporary culture and new media technology; to uncover its evolution from Bombay cinema to reality show, I first analyze the historically transforming cinematography and content through a few select musicals. Secondly, I trace the emergence of the “Item” numbers in Bollywood and their relationship to music videos; and third, I explore the current expressions of screendance on reality shows in India as expressions of class mobility and democratization of cultur
