Using Abbott’s sociology of professions, we identify three patterns in journalists’ responses to AI: jurisdictional maintenance, hybrid labor configurations, and jurisdictional retreat. Journalists primarily use AI for transcription, copyediting, and preliminary drafting—tasks previously embedded in editorial workflows and professional training. While journalists retain final editorial authority, these tasks are increasingly delegated to AI systems, altering how professional judgment is exercised and learned. This task redistribution produces hybrid arrangements in which human oversight coexists with automated execution, alongside selective retreat from routinized production work. Theoretically, the present study shows that professional jurisdiction is reconfigured mainly through shifts in task control and knowledge transmission and extends profession theory with evidence from a Majority World newsroom context.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147490137","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}

The winner effect may lower this barrier by elevating political efficacy, yet its manifestation in actual dialogical interactions remains underexplored. We investigate the winner effect’s association with discussion network dynamics in a politically heterogeneous online community with an ideologically unbalanced numerical composition. Through relational event modeling of micro-temporal conversational ties surrounding a presidential election, we demonstrate that individuals became dominant dialogue initiators after attaining winner status, despite being a numerical minority. For minority members lacking social endorsement from the community, the winner effect alone was insufficient to facilitate discursive participation, indicating the need for multifaceted empowerment. Notably, homophilous dialogical patterns weakened after minorities’ status elevation, suggesting that reduced power disparities can facilitate cross-cutting exposure. This study uncovers how the winner effect manifests not only in “what individuals perceive” but also in “how they communicate.”","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147489902","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}

Social support may help address these challenges, yet limited research has examined how structural and functional dimensions of social support relate to older adults’ breadth of online activities. We examined whether structural social support (network size, density, and strength) is associated with breadth of online activities through functional social support and whether socioeconomic status moderates these associations. In 2021, a baseline survey and 6-month follow-up were conducted with 275 South Korean adults aged 65+ years ( M = 69.35, SD = 4.46). Network size and strength had a positive indirect association with the breadth of online activities via functional social support, whereas density did not. Income positively moderated the association between network size and functional social support. These findings inform digital inclusion strategies for older adults by underscoring how structural and functional social support are linked to broader online engagement.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147478022","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}

We argue that violence on digital platforms cannot be understood as a fixed or self-evident category, but must be situated within the sociotechnical, cultural and political environments that shape its production, circulation and recognition. Drawing on cross-disciplinary scholarship, we develop the framework of contextualized platformized violence , which explains how harm arises through the interaction of platform infrastructures, cultural narratives, governance regimes, and local power dynamics. We identify key challenges that complicate efforts to study violence across digital environments, emphasizing the need for thick, reflexive and contextually grounded approaches. We conclude by introducing the 10 contributions in this special issue, each of which demonstrates how attending to context transforms our understanding of platformized violence and provides conceptual, empirical and methodological pathways for advancing research in this rapidly evolving field.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147393420","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}

Presenting individual user data in a design tailored to mobile apps, Wrapped has been noted as a unique appropriation of user data as a tool for advertising. This article analyzes promotional materials and features of Spotify Wrapped to investigate the discursive shifts accompanying datafication, which describes the accumulation and use of behavioral data in algorithmic systems, in contemporary music streaming. The article introduces data realism as a concept for theorizing the reconfiguration of music, listening, and listeners effected by these shifts. It shows how the construction of data-as-realness is reinforced through discursive pairings of data and broader cultural practices, supported by Wrapped’s multimodal design, and articulated in listener typologies. Positioning Wrapped’s design within the broader context of algorithmic culture, the paper ultimately considers how critical engagements with Wrapped may challenge or perpetuate data realist constructions of music, listening, and listeners in the context of algorithmic recommendation.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147292439","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}

It focusses on Dutch complementors—retailers, news organizations, transportation companies, and software start-ups—that developed Conversational Actions for Google Assistant. The analysis builds on a combination of digital fieldwork and interviews with Dutch developers, conversational specialists, and marketing and communication managers between 2018 and 2021. Pushing back against the dominant focus on successful platforms, we demonstrate that platformization needs to be understood as a balancing act, marked by frictions that arise in attempts to align expectations, interests, concerns, and objectives of different actors. Our findings show that complementors’ imaginaries of a Dutch assistant conflicted with Google’s global priorities, revealing the limits of localization in platform infrastructures. Moreover, we highlight the asymmetry between complementors’ expectation of a linear platform development and Google’s circular strategy of continuous reconfiguration of infrastructures and platforms to capture specific markets.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147292440","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 practice supports privacy management and reflects identity processes such as identity evolution (how users perceive their self-concepts to shift over time) and identity synchronization (how these identities are integrated across accounts). Grounded in privacy management theory, this study uses survey data from 408 Instagram users and a structural equation modeling approach to examine how two distinct types of privacy management, platform-enabled and interpersonal privacy concerns, shape identity construction. Our findings reveal that content management and curation significantly contribute to both identity evolution and synchronization, while interpersonal privacy concerns are tied to network-based self-presentation. These results challenge assumptions of the privacy paradox, showing that users engage in deliberate, context-sensitive strategies and privacy strategies. In addition, audience segmentation, more than content itself, shapes identity work on SNSs.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147287350","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}
