The ways in which audiences engage and interact with news has flourished thanks to the proliferation of digital platforms (Park, Fisher, Lee, et al. 2020). Our ever-changing media environment has l...

Online news users interact with news on digital platforms in different ways. Some take advantage of the technical affordances that allow sharing, liking and commenting, while others do not. Based on a national survey of the Australian adult online news users, this study explores online news users’ different modes of interaction on digital platforms: non-interaction, signalling interaction, and expressive interaction. This study demonstrates that different types of online news users are largely d

This study investigated college students’ attitudes toward a paid news content system. It sought to identify factors that may predict such attitudes. To deepen our understanding of news copyright issues, this study also analyzed responses to open-ended questions and identified patterns in such responses. Among the predictor variables, perceiving news as a commodity was the only significant predictor of college students’ attitudes toward a paid news model. The results suggest that respondents’ pe

Abstract Building upon previous studies that divide the governance of digital platforms into three eras (Flew, 2021; Bowers & Zittrain, 2020), this study investigates how one of the most influential digital platforms, Google, has handled removal requests from governments. By sketching the regulatory terrain of Google, the current study seeks a more balanced understanding of content moderation. This study selected an exploratory case study approach using Google's Transparency reports and acco

Abstract Ebooks have emerged as one of the popular means of reading, but little is known about how ebook usage by the general public and the ability of public lending libraries to serve their patrons are being constrained by various sociocultural factors such as restrictive licensing agreements that publishers demand. This study identifies the various constraints through the lens of Lessig’s four modalities to better understand how the ecosystem of ebooks that includes legal and economic conditi

This special issue, which focuses on the Asia-Pacific region, brings together five articles addressing the use of podcasting in a journalistic context. Drawing on articles that cover diverse topics, this issue paints a larger picture of how news podcasts are created and consumed in various global contexts. Implications are discussed. Reflecting different global contexts, the articles herein address such topics as health, politics and sports and invite researchers to explore the potential and lim

This study aims to identify research trends and central concepts in the field of journalism ethics over the past decade. Focusing on four major journals— Digital Journalism, Journalism, Journalism Practice, and Journalism Studies— this article presents key findings from a topic modeling analysis of articles published between 2013 and 2022. An analysis of 1170 journalism ethics-related studies revealed the most salient topic to be closely related to “news making practices.” This topic was followe

Abstract This study surveys theoretical justifications for copyright and considers the implications of the notion of cultural democracy in regard to copyright law and policy. In doing so, the study focuses on the first sale doctrine and advocates for the doctrine’s expansion to digital goods based on a discussion of the doctrine’s policy implications and a review of the arguments for and against a digital first sale doctrine. The study argues that democratic copyright theories, in general, and t

As digital technologies continually change, types of negative online behaviours evolve, now covering a wide range of practices, motivations, and behaviours. Research shows that emerging adults are particularly vulnerable to image-based sexual abuse online. However, relatively little is known about emerging adults’ perceptions of and experience with image-based online sexual interactions. This study addresses the gap, focusing on the perception of university students aged 18 to 21, representing e

The influence of bloggers has increased to the degree that they are more and more frequently becoming involved in defamation and invasion-of-privacy suits. Bloggers threatened with legal action often remove potentially libelous content rather than deal with the difficulty and expense of litigation. This paper aims to trace the strains of controversy surrounding the application ofjournalistic standards of liability to bloggers. This study furthermore analyzes court cases and relevant statutes reg

This study, based on a survey of 100 South Korean film directors, investigates their understanding and employment of fair use. South Korean film directors are largely unaware of this law that could improve their capacity to create work more effectively and at lower cost. Furthermore, they engage in self-censorship, which can limit their creative choices. Many such choices inhibit the exploration of South Korea’s vigorous popular culture and its history. These obstacles largely lie not with the l
