SUMMARY:The Social Media Summit | MIT
DESCRIPTION:The Social Media Summit @ MIT (SMS @ MIT) brings together the world’s leaders in social technology to examine one of the most critical and compelling issues of our time – the impact of social media on our democracies\, our economies\, and our public health — with a vision to craft meaningful solutions to the social media crisis. \nSocial media has become a dominant force for information flow in modern life – it is now a major channel for social interaction\, political communication\, and commercial marketing. This rise of social media has fundamentally changed the world’s information landscape from a comparatively small number of information producers (e.g. news networks) to large numbers of producers\, distributors\, and receivers. This democratization of content production and distribution has had a profound impact on how people understand the world. Not only has the volume of information increased\, but with the removal of gatekeepers on distribution\, the diversity (and thus variation in quality) of the available information has also increased. This has both positive and negative impacts on individuals and society. The purpose of this event is to understand the impact of social media\, revisit public policy frameworks that will best govern this impact\, and craft an agenda going forward about how to achieve the promise of social media and avoid it’s peril. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Resisting and Reversing Western Media Imperialism?: Turkey’s Global Communication Outlets | Annenberg School for Communication
DESCRIPTION:Since the 2010s\, Turkey’s ruling AKP government has vastly expanded its global communication apparatus to promote the country as a rising great power and the benevolent guardian of Muslims. In this presentation\, Bilge Yesil will analyze the political mechanisms and ideational frameworks that underlie the new English-language outlets the AKP and its proxies developed after the Gezi Park protests of 2013 — an event they interpreted as a Western ploy to overthrow the Erdogan government. In the post-Gezi period\, critical coverage of Erdogan soared in international news media and the AKP sought to rebuff them via newly-established print\, broadcast and digital outlets. Drawing on an analysis of official statements and government documents as well as interviews with media professionals that work/ed at state-run and pro-AKP news media\, Yesil argues that the Erdogan government views the global communication landscape as yet another battlefield in the ostensible conflict they posit between East and West\, and Western journalists as emissaries of imperialism. With all this in mind\, Yesil explores how the AKP conceptualizes its global communication machinery as a counter-hegemonic force and discuss the implications of the type of journalism its proxies perform. \n[…]
