In the Philippines, the LGBTS Christian Church is one of the few queer-affirming religious institutions that seek to defuse tensions between sexual and religious identities. Through digital and on-the-ground ethnography, we describe the digital practices and infrastructures that enable the church to create a space for queer religiosity. With limited physical spaces to practice queer religiosity, the LGBTS Christian Church uses online platforms to reclaim their place, enabling them to reconfigure their practices and advance their advocacy. This study uncovers a variety of affordances available to the church that are integrated into their practices and interactions within and outside their congregation. The study contributes to the intersection of queer life, religion, and digital media by examining queer religiosity on digital platforms of a queer-affirming church in the Philippines.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147578414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on research on mainstreaming, memetic communication and affective publics, it conceptualises far-right Instagram as an affective–discursive ecology where ideology, emotion and platform logics intersect. Through algorithmic ethnography and multimodal discourse analysis, the study analyses 2603 Reels featuring far-right adjacent themes. The analysis identifies three overlapping modalities: (1) humorous, ironic and meta-reflexive content, framing extremity as playful or self-aware; (2) wholesome and nostalgic aestheticisation that softens exclusionary messaging through sentimental imagery; and (3) inspirational, glorifying and aspirational aestheticisation, casting ideological commitment as awakening or heroic civilisational defence. Algorithmic clustering further politicises ostensibly non-political material, allowing neutral or unrelated posts to reinforce far-right narratives through contextual adjacency. The study argues that effective responses must address these emotional, aesthetic and infrastructural conditions.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147578429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines how researchers navigate data secrecy and access in contemporary media industries research. Building on critiques of the transparency ideal and black box metaphor, we approach data access as an ongoing, textured, and relational process. Drawing on multi-sited and mixed-method research from previous studies, this study maps the fragmented terrain of data access across research into <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">production, platforms</jats:italic> , and <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">policy</jats:italic> . By synthesizing these previously siloed approaches, we conceptualize varying levels of data secrecy, identify shared challenges, and discuss innovative hacks as well as tried-and-true methods for circumventing these barriers. We conclude by proposing a framework for streaming research founded on collaboration, industry partnerships, and reciprocity, addressing the infrastructural and ethical limits of open science in the streaming era.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147586623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DNA platforms sort and match users using genetic data, creating novel familial ‘networked publics’ and reinforcing ‘genetic thinking’. Drawing on the concept of ‘family display’, we interpret the accounts of 23 Australians who had distinct motivations for engaging with DNA platforms and differing ‘intensities of display’. Our thematic analysis derived three themes: how participants appropriated platform affordances to curate digital displays of family, how the platform enabled participants to foreground multigenerational narratives of familial continuity and how the platform’s focus on genetic relationships led users to reconfigure existing family understandings. Our findings contribute to conceptualisations of how individuals ‘do’ and ‘display’ family through digital platforms and advance theorisation of the ‘digitalisation of family’ and ‘platformised relationality’.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147536319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article analyzes the shifting portrayals of the hacker archetype across seminal films, TV shows, and computer games from the 1980s to the present. Rather than a simple, straightforward evolution, we argue that media representations built a complex narrative arc by drawing from, and selectively amplify, a consistent repertoire of hacker tropes. By analyzing cinematic narratives alongside the interactive affordances of contemporaneous games, this transmedia analysis illustrates how specific historical moments, like Cold War paranoia and contemporary surveillance capitalism, caused certain tropes to be foregrounded while others recede in the background. The analysis ultimately leads to a complex and nuanced return to the origins, where the layered reactivation of the “outcast” trope, now fused with deep explorations of mental health and a systemic societal critique, reflects the deep anxieties of our hyper-connected age.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147507959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While prior work emphasizes social media’s role in shaping news consumption, the move from linear broadcasting to streaming introduces technological logics that may reshape opportunities for news exposure. This study examines those who use streaming entertainment more often than linear TV and radio, tests whether they are less likely to encounter news incidentally and asks whether they compensate via streaming platforms. Using nationally representative surveys from the United Kingdom and Brazil, we find that greater relative streaming use is associated with lower incidental exposure and lower traditional news use via TV and radio. It is, however, linked to higher news use on YouTube, but not through podcasts. These patterns, alongside streaming’s popularity among younger audiences, suggest it may reinforce age-related divides in news engagement.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"113 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147507901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, dedicated dating platforms are explicitly aimed at enabling and facilitating infidelity or affairs. Against this background, this study explores how five such platforms discursively legitimize infidelity. Based on a discourse analysis, I argue that infidelity is presented as a technology of (1) self-care, (2) relationship care, (3) belonging, (4) honesty, and (5) progressiveness. Through these framings, the platforms both draw upon and dissolve structural tensions of contemporary romantic love, intimacy, and relationships that individuals must navigate. By examining infidelity as a particularly contested object, I explore how the platform economy offers strategies for the legitimization and commodification of non-normative forms of intimacy and what these discursive formations reveal about the current intimacy zeitgeist.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147507902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While regulation is a significant point of tension in the sex robot industry, without government oversight, the issue remains a discursive strategy to debate the rationale of sex robots at large. Data also shows corporate stakeholders’ interest in expanding beyond the sex industry into the technology sector, viewing their robot as a platform with general applications.

It focuses on the mediatization of state-sponsored violence through the affordances of social media. Drawing on Achille Mbembe’s necropolitics and Donna Haraway’s STS-feminist cyborg theory, the article critiques how the mediatization of queer identities in the Nigerian digital space transforms into what I term “Cybernetic Death Machine” (CDM). This concept theorizes a mechanism of extermination in which the state’s juridical practices, user-generated content, and media affordances converge to perpetuate systemic violence against LGBTIQA+ individuals. Using vignettes, case studies of anti-LGBTIQA+ social media posts by high-ranking Nigerian police officers, and data from semi-structured interviews as reported in research publications produced by non-profit organizations, this article highlights how digital platforms amplify homophobic rhetoric that facilitates digital vigilantism and state surveillance. It demonstrates how digital media practices amplify normative and extrajudicial discriminatory behaviors and practices to exercise the state’s necropower.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"229 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147507958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on digital ethnography, we conceptualize their understandings of algorithms as pornographic algorithms—a set of imaginaries about how social media algorithms mediate the visibility of pornographic content in distinct ways and users’ social media engagement accordingly. Through case studies of the four most popular social media platforms—Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube—we explore how these pornographic algorithms are perceived as the main key actors in pornification in concert with the country’s existing rape culture, and how users develop tactics to navigate porn-friendly social media. We argue that social media use for Korean women is an ongoing everyday fight against a new form of sexism that is now convolutedly processed, normalized, and facilitated by algorithmic governance in the digital realm.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147507904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
