‘It’s Twitter, a bear pit, not a debating society’ : a qualitative analysis of contrasting attitudes towards social media blocklists
(2019)
Wheatley, Dawn; Vatnoey, Eirik
Abstract:
This study of tweets (n = 2247) explores discussions about a pro-choice blocklist (@Repeal_Shield) used during the 2018 Irish abortion referendum campaign, capturing conflicting interpretations of engagement and political participation. Although qualitative Twitter studies bring methodological challenges, deep readings were needed to analyse arguments in favour and against the blocklist, and to consider what we can learn about users’ expectations of Twitter. Through deductive and inductive coding, opposing perspectives emerge on whether such lists are useful, democratic or regressive, but both sides share normative aspirations for Twitter to serve as a space for healthy debate, even if there is clear tension in how that is best achieved. Blocklists are traditionally cited as a harassment solution, facilitating participation from otherwise-excluded counterpublics. However, @Repeal_Shield demonstrates how this affordance has evolved towards omitting broad spectrums of undesired conten...

A 'manual on masculinity'? The consumption and use of mediated images of masculinity among teenage boys in Ireland

A 'manual on masculinity'? The consumption and use of mediated images of masculinity among teenage boys in Ireland
(2005)
Ging, Debbie
Abstract:
Most of the research on masculinity in Ireland stresses the influences of family, work and education in the construction of gender (Ferguson, 1998; Ferguson and Synott, 1995; Ferguson and Reynolds, 2001; McKeown et al., 1998, Owens, 2000). Although the impact of the entertainment media is regularly alluded to, there is a dearth of empirical work in this area. While it is generally agreed that mediated images play a highly influential role in young people's lives, both the nature and the scope of this influence remain unclear in the absence of concrete ethnographies of reception. This paper discusses the findings of a quantitative and qualitative investigation into Irish male teenagers’ consumption and reception of a broad range of media texts and discusses these findings in relation to the relevant literature. It points to the shortcomings of both 'hypodermic needle' theories, which claim direct media influence, and of some active audience theories, which posit consum...

A case study of the televised international newsflow of Raidió Teilifís Éireann and The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: A comparative content analysis
(2012)
Testar, Jason Thomas
Abstract:
The objective of this comparative newsflow study was to analyse the televised international news broadcast in the national public service of Canada and the Republic of Ireland over a thirty-day term. In doing so, a quantitative content analysis comparing the output of two national public service providers (PSB), Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is offered. In identifying the national origin of the international news, those reports utilizing the foreign correspondents of the PSBs were quantified. Finally, the ratio of international to domestic reportage and the volume of international news reports by quantity and duration are also compared. This study reviews the literature of cultural, corporate and state sovereignty as it looks to the regulatory structures of the broadcasters. Gatekeeping dynamics and the critical media ecology of a re-feudalizing public sphere are addressed as are the roles of framing and domestication. An exploration ...

A political economy of radical media
(2020)
Farrell, Seamus
Abstract:
This thesis offers a Marxist humanist political economic analysis of radical media. Radical media has been under-researched and underappreciated as a subject. Modern theorists have positioned it either as a fringe subject or as a diffuse topic without definitional clarity used interchangeably with concepts such as alternative and independent to describe non-mainstream media, communications and digital society. This thesis aims to clarify the conceptualisation of radical media and consider the concrete publications and platforms, shaped by radical media actors, that have developed in the digital age. This analysis is grounded by an understanding of the historic development of theories of and practices of radical media. A multi-methods research design is used as a basis for three analyses of three radical media samples: a typology analysis of concepts of radical media in the digital age (1995–2019), a content analysis of radical media publications and platforms in the UK, USA and Irel...

A political economy of tax expenditures for the audiovisual industries in Ireland: a cultural policy research perspective on section 481
(2020)
O'Brien, Maria
Abstract:
This thesis interrogates the notion of a national cinema/national industry in contemporary times. It explores the concept of cultural/industrial policy towards the audiovisual industries in Ireland. It specifically focuses on Section 481, a measure that incentivises audiovisual production through the provision of a tax expenditure. This expenditure is a cornerstone of the audiovisual production industries, granting a generous 32 per cent tax relief on eligible spend. Consequently, it is now a significant part of the funding structures for various forms of audiovisual production, including national and international film and TV productions. Through a policy research approach, this thesis examines the complexity of funding national cultural production in an environment that is increasingly global/transnational, interrogating the notion of the commodification of the nation-space within the context of the supranational framework of the European Union (EU). Given Ireland’s EU membership,...

A reception analysis of a development-oriented television programme by a multi-ethnic society
(2000)
Ahmad, Jamaliah
Abstract:
The mam objective of this study is to find out how a multi-racial society interprets development-onented television programmes. To ensure that this research is socially meaningful, the interpretation of the development-onented television programmes was done within the framework of the social and cultural conditions of the Malaysian society where the study took place. In order to understand this phenomenon better we have looked into the Reception Analysis Theory. This theory seeks to integrate Social Science perspectives and Humanistic perspectives by adopting empirical approach to audience research. The literature also suggested that Reception Analysis is a step closer to a better approach in studying media audiences because its methodology stresses that comparative empirical analysis must be earned out between the media discourses and the audience discourses. In this study we also wanted to find out to what extent ethnic-income-based factors influence the members’ decoding or mea...

A snapshot of the Syrian jihadi online ecology: differential disruption, community strength, and preferred other platforms
(2021)
Conway, Maura; Khawaja, Moign; Lakhani, Suraj; Reffin, Jeremy
Abstract:
This article contributes to the growing literature on extremist and terrorist online ecologies and approaches to snapshotting these. It opens by measuring Twitter’s differential disruption of so-called “Islamic State” versus other jihadi parties to the Syria conflict, showing that while Twitter became increasingly inhospitable to IS in 2017 and 2018, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham and Ahrar al-Sham retained strong communities on the platform during the same period. An analysis of the same groups’ Twitter out-linking activity has the twofold purpose of determining the reach of groups’ content by quantifying the number of platforms it was available on and analyzing the nature and functionalities of the online spaces out-linked to.

Access to public broadcasting services across national digital delivery systems

Access to public broadcasting services across national digital delivery systems
(2001)
Callanan, Ronan
Abstract:
Traditionally broadcasting and telecommunications have been regarded as completely separate sectors Broadcasting as a transmission system was inseparable from the broadcast content Alternatively, telecommunication networks were the sole providers of voice and basic data telephony services But as technology developed and both markets began to offer similar services, the regulatory dividing lines between Internet, broadcasting and telecommunications services have begun to blur Broadcasting as a transmission system is becoming detached from the broadcast content Even though these markets are technically converging the issue of access to content and the licensing of content providers over these new delivery platforms to carry their services remain unresolved The liberalisation of both markets may make a significant difference to the production o f content and the access of such programming content to pay-television and Free-to-Air viewers. The transmission of similar services over prev...

I had an introduction to Seamus Kelly and worked that line for a time until, after dozens of phone calls to the ‘Irishman’s Diary’ office which—to my innocent surprise and eventual disillusionment—were never answered and never returned, I knocked on the door of Conor O’Brien at the Evening Press and got a job.

Anti-Communism and Media Surveillance in Ireland 1948-50
(2000)
Horgan, John
Abstract:
Ireland in the immediate post-war period offers, to the student of Cold War politics and intrigues, some unusual insights into the nature of political surveillance in general and to the surveillance of the press in particular, according to documents recently released by the US State department and made available in the US National Archives in Washington. Politically, the situation was becoming more volatile. Fianna Fail, which had been in power continuously since 1932 and had won its most recent election in 1944, was coming under increasingly vocal criticism from two key groups of erstwhile supporters: urban workers, who had been chafing under wages stand-still orders for much of the war and who were disappointed that the end of the conflict had not produced much in the way of material benefits; and republicans, many of whom had been interned during the war, and some of whom felt in any case that a sense of drive and purpose was missing from Fianna Fail's approach to the natio...

Articulating networked citizenship on the Russian internet: a case for competing affordances
(2020)
Lokot, Tetyana
Abstract:
The Russian government’s crackdown on free speech online has seen social media users jailed and fined for publishing critical content. Digital rights activists have cautioned Russians to delete their accounts on platforms that cooperate with law enforcement, but also have advocated for the use of privacy and secure tools. How do these actions inform emergent articulations of networked citizenship in Russia? Using activity reports published online by the state Internet regulator and two digital activist groups, I conduct a narrative analysis of how both parties interpret networked citizenship. I find that the networked authoritarian Russian state embraces the ideal of the dutiful networked citizen online as visible, vulnerable, and controlled, exploiting the melding of public and private aspects of networked publics. Instead, Russian digital rights activists advocate for a self-actualizing networked citizen who exercises agency online by becoming less visible, often ephemeral, and th...

Abstract:
For decades, we had staked out various positions on “actually existing socialism,” a debate where sometimes static arguments on both right and left were ritually reenacted. Now the process was going off the rails in an unknown direction. A tired tale was transmuting into a thriller.

Associations, deliberation and democracy: the case of Ireland’s social partnership
(2011)
Gaynor, Niamh
Abstract:
Over the past two decades there has been a burgeoning interest and research into experiments and innovations in participatory governance. While advocates highlight the merits of such new governance arrangements in moving beyond traditional interest group representations and deepening democracy through deliberation with a broad range of civic associations, critics express concern about the political legitimacy and democratic accountability of participating associations, highlighting in particular the dangers of co-option and faction. Addressing these concerns, a number of theorists identify an important role for civic associations in linking deliberations at micro policy levels to those within the public sphere more broadly. These normative contributions raise an important empirical question - does civic associational engagement at micro levels leave scope to engage both laterally across associations and vertically with members and citizens more broadly? More simply put, is civic...

Automatic Translation, Context, and Supervised Learning in Comparative Politics
(2020)
Courtney, Michael; Breen, Michael; McMenamin, Iain; McNulty, Gemma
Abstract:
This paper proves that automatic translation of multilingual newspaper documents deters neither human nor computer classification of political concepts. We show how theory-driven coding of newspaper text can be automated in several languages by monolingual researchers. Supervised machine learning is successfully applied to text in English from British, Spanish and German sources. The paper has three main findings. First, results from human coding directly in a foreign language do not differ from coding computer-translated text. Second, humans can code translated text as well as they can code untranslated prose in their mother tongue. Third, machine learning based on translated Spanish and German training sets can reproduce human coding as accurately as a system learning from English training sets.

Beyond billiard balls: transnational flows, cultural diversity and digital games
(2010)
Kerr, Aphra
Abstract:
Current mass media policy and regulation in Western Europe is primarily state‐based and increasingly based on the presumption that a competitive market will maximise individual choice and diversity. Policy interventions are primarily justified in terms of specific market failures including concentration of producers in the marketplace, the need to financially reward content developers financially for their work and issues related to distribution bottlenecks.1 Nevertheless, it is clear that at the national and European levels, public interest and cultural arguments also inform policy development and regulation. New media, including online and offline digital games, represent a new area for policy makers at the national and international levels. This chapter aims to contribute to our understanding of how digital games operate as markets and as social and cultural activities in order to inform discussions about the need for policy interventions.

Building cities on sand: the normative basis for journalism in Cambodia
(2015)
Quinn, Fergal
Abstract:
This thesis examines the relationship between normative emphases in journalism training programmes and the subsequent work practices and conceptualisations of journalists who participated in them, and how this happens where programmes are part of international aid strategies in emerging democracies. It hypothesises that particular normative emphases whose bases are contested — whether due to perceived politicisation, culturally hegemonic tendencies or other reasons —adversely affects the fulfilment of particular journalistic ideals. This study uses a qualitative research methodology to examine the example of Cambodia from 1993 to 2011. 54 interviews were carried out with key respondents, followed by a thematic analysis of the data generated. A number of tendencies have emerged from this which broadly support the hypothesis. These include correlations between normative emphases at programme level and politically polarised normative orientations among working journalists. A vocationa...

Changing spaces: exploring the role of the internet in supporting non-heterosexual youth aged 18-25 in Ireland
(2018)
Park, Kirsty
Abstract:
This study used a sequential qualitatively driven design to explore non-heterosexual internet usage among 18-25 year olds in Ireland. Within the last decade there has been a growing body of research focusing on supporting sexual minority youth in Ireland and understanding their experiences, yet little is known about how they use the internet for support. Non-heterosexual youth can use the internet to access narratives and communities which previously would have required physical presence in geographical places. Considering the role that narrative plays within identity formation, the change this spatial shift has brought about in social relations offers the opportunity for a radical reshaping of both the development of identity and the opportunities for new types of identity to occur in places which they would be unlikely to occur in the past. This study has addressed the gap in literature by positioning a phenomenological sense of place at the centre of the analysis. Using a questio...
