Hello, Fediverse! Here's our #introduction post:

The Media History Digital Library (MHDL) is a free online resource, featuring millions of pages from the histories of #film, #broadcasting, and #recorded #sound. We provide access to industry trade papers, magazines, Hollywood pressbooks, technical journals, and more.

Lantern, the MHDL's full-text search platform, enables researchers to query specific words or phrases within scanned pages.

We hope the MHDL has had a transformative impact on the study of film & broadcasting history. The sources we have digitized for open access, and the large-scale queries that our platforms allow, have enabled ambitious research projects and the production of new knowledge.

We look forward to sharing interesting content from our collection and learning about projects that use the MHDL.

Learn more about our history and our work here: https://mediahist.org/about/history.php

Reposting my #introduction, since I'm seeing a lot of fresh faces recently. I'm an associate professor at UMass Amherst, where I teach about #journalism and #MediaIndustries. My research focuses on media distribution and, occasionally, dysfunction in the adtech industry.

I also co-edit a book series on the civic impacts of media distribution for The MIT Press. Feel free to hit me up if you're working on a relevant project!

"CNN‘s description (1/29/24) of Charles Littlejohn as someone who “stole” tax returns (he was actually convicted of “unauthorized disclosure”) is a framing that criminalizes much of what #CNN and other news outlets do."

The first edition of ALTERNATE CHANNELS came out 23 years ago today, on July 5, 2000. The original publisher was generally great to deal with but insisted on a sensationalist subtitle and left out all the photos I'd found.

A revised 20th-anniversary edition, subtitled "Queer Images on 20th-Century TV," contains about 100 photos from classic TV shows.

Out today: "Google Radio Automation and the broadcast plights behind platformization" https://doi.org/10.1177/14614448231203616 🔓

in which I narrate the weird story of Google's late-aughts entry into the radio industry and argue that the recession, on top of "traditional" media consolidation, played a decisive role in spurring the rhetorical and infrastructural separation of the streaming/platform model as a "new" medium

I've now migrated to a new (#selfhosted) #mastodon server, so here is an #introduction post for me to pin here

I'm a PhD candidate in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I'm studying Internet culture and am interested in how individual people relate to corporations, governments, etc. through various types of technology.

My dissertation is about how individual people are constructed as "Users" on the internet.

Search engines play an enormous role in shaping our perception of the world, and mounting evidence questions whether that role is a good one. Anyone who regularly searches for news using terms related to trans people can see that something is happening.

ANTI-PRESENCE. I just watched Jill, Uncredited on Mubi. It’s about film extra Jill Goldston’s appearances—literally just momentary appearances—in countless films. Taken as a scored sequence, the 18 minute short is an eerie statement about how scattered likenesses get preserved in media amber; never forgotten but never recalled, like ghosts in a televisual bardo.

Marshall McLuhan wrote books and taught students about his theories of media for decades, and is widely known as "as the father of modern media studies";

https://ama-toronto.com/inductees/marshall-mcluhan/

Phrases he coined are so quoted they've become cliches; like "the global village", and most famously "the medium is the message".

What is the message of the fediverse as a medium?

Calling all educators in journalism and media studies!

I'm a molecular biologist at #PennState. In the spring I am piloting a new general education course for non-science majors: "Science in Media."

The aim is to combine media literacy skills with hard science topics, through the lens of our shared experience consuming science media during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I am looking for introductory texts on "media" writ large. What has worked for you?

I've found Campbell, Martin, & Fabos; Ott & Mack; Long & Wall; and Deuze. Which do you like? What have I missed?

Any other effective, insightful readings you can recommend?

Thanks, everyone!
