Through the theoretical lens of Communities of Practice, findings revealed students experienced robust, but different learning in disrupted newsrooms. While students reported that their ability to cultivate and learn with a community suffered, they still reported the formation of their identities as journalists and the development of meaning. Analysis demonstrated that the survey items created statistically reliable scales for each of the four pillars and overall CoP scale. This advances the Communities of Practice theoretical framework to help describe the nature of student newsroom learning in a disrupted environment. Consistent with existing literature, this work points toward the special nature of student-run newsrooms as high-impact learning environments, however, the isolation that came as a natural outgrowth of the lack of community contributed to students’ struggles with mental health. These findings also underscore additional practical implications of young journalists learning and refining their craft in isolated spaces. Reporting remotely required heightened self-sufficiency and resiliency, but also amplified feelings of burnout, low morale, and mental exhaustion.","PeriodicalId":206409,"journal":{"name":"Media Practice and Education","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126642579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Loureiro, Myra Lovett","doi":"10.1080/25741136.2023.2219517","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/25741136.2023.2219517","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Previous research in film and television (film/TV) has shown that the field has grown considerably in the past century, though most college programs lack substantial content on the business side of the industry. Literature regarding career decision self-efficacy (CDSE) noted that various forms of academic support could lead to increased CDSE. Despite the knowledge accumulated in both fields, no prior researchers had tackled whether completing film/TV business coursework resulted in a statistically significant difference in CDSE. By giving 267 young film/TV professionals the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (CDSES-SF), the authors measured the CDSE of subjects who had either taken or not taken film/TV business coursework, finding that there was not a significant difference in CDSE between the two groups. This result may indicate the need for collegiate programs to re-examine their offerings, curricula, and instructional practices for film/TV students in an effort to bolster the career confidence of graduates as they enter the industry.","PeriodicalId":206409,"journal":{"name":"Media Practice and Education","volume":"250 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120890195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bender","doi":"10.1080/25741136.2023.2204203","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/25741136.2023.2204203","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This article discusses the implications of Artificial Intelligence Content Generators (Gen-AI) for the field of screen media education. In light of the 2022–2023 releases of ChatGPT, DALL·E 2 and Midjourney AI, the article addresses the idea of what value there is for a student to enrol in a creative arts degree given the public view that Gen-AI threaten to replace human jobs in artistic fields. The article argues that there is potential for Gen-AI to offer major benefits to existing approaches to media education and that the technology could in fact drive greater interest in studying the creative arts. The act of creativity is valued by those who practise it for intrinsic purposes, and many graduates of screen programmes have traditionally leveraged their passion and creative conceptual understandings in a wide variety of employment fields outside vocationally-oriented screen production roles. Therefore, the article demonstrates that Gen-AI can benefit screen media programmes by improving employment opportunities for graduates, enhancing access and diversity for under-represented students, and can address the classic challenges of the theory-practice nexus for media production students.","PeriodicalId":206409,"journal":{"name":"Media Practice and Education","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126704712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Arts-based activities were combined with digital literacy to develop the capabilities of refugee youth in Turkey and Bangladesh. DA-RE’s participants co-created digital arts and connected with one another across the two settings in a digital third space to share narratives from their situated perspectives and lived experiences. In these ways, they developed skills of engagement and agency through the project, but at the heart of DA-RE was the intention to explore the links between refugee youths’ own creative agency, harnessed in new contexts enabled by the project, and their existing digital literacies. DA-RE sought to identify, with a theory of change, potential opportunities for refugee youth to both use this capability in the host community and provide a platform for their digital arts to offer a counter-narrative to ‘othering’ discourses at work in both their host communities and in the UK, where the project was coordinated, in so doing converting (digital) literacy into capability with positive consequences for social good.","PeriodicalId":206409,"journal":{"name":"Media Practice and Education","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116905658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SSS was an intergenerational collaboration among Chicago-based high school students, arts and humanities scholars, and practicing artists and storytellers facilitated by the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois Chicago that sought to reimagine the pasts and futures of local neighbourhoods in Chicago’s South Side with the aim of rethinking political systems for social justice. In particular, SSS participants interrogated the interplay between forms of racialised structural violence and emergent surveillance technologies. The youth-led projects resulted in three major contributions to the field of speculative design. First, futures can only be imagined by also reimagining the past and the historical narratives that make any kind of future possible. Second, futures must engage hyperlocal contexts to consider concretely how speculative design objects will exist in specific material realities. Third, young people can use speculative design to interrogate the role of institutions in their communities and increase the agency they have in their futures. Ultimately, this article argues that speculation can enable forms of community-building through media arts practice in ways that draw from and contribute to broader collective social justice organising and activism.","PeriodicalId":206409,"journal":{"name":"Media Practice and Education","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133468860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These images, part of the project titled Tracking SkyNet (2019-2021) by the artist Filipe Vilas-Boas, were captured by the Alcor System 600mm telescope at the astronomical observatory of Mars (Ardèche, France) in July 2019. Instead of gazing at the stars as normally does, the telescope was hijacked to track the movement of a military satellite, SkyNet. The gesture of monitoring a satellite from Earth subverts the logic of surveillance systems that operate a control from above (watching over), reflecting on the term sousveillance (control from below) coined by lifecaster Steve Mann (1998). Tracking SkyNet, featuring four aluminium plates with transfer printing and a 30 sec video loop, was part of the collective exhibition Omniscience: Fracture and Escape Strategies, held at Fórum da Maia (Maia, Portugal) in November 2021. The exhibition was co-curated by the three guest editors of this special issue combining artworks, publications, and everyday objects that could provoke debate on modes of technological surveillance, unveiling strategies for both escape and rupture. Following this perspective, the exhibition also featured two installations by the artist Paula Albuquerque that reference and use technological devices and images of surveillance to explore the complex relationships between technology and human experience within ‘societies of control’ (Deleuze, 2017). In Live Streaming US (2016), Albuquerque uses footage generated by publicly accessible webcams to create a visual essay that foregrounds the media specificity of CCTV cameras. While the imagery, edited to showcase the choices behind the placement and position of cameras, raises awareness to the pervasive mechanisms of control in contemporary society, the absence of verbal discourse allows the viewer to focus on the cinematic potential of seemingly random surveillance visuality, which constructs rather than documents American life as it unravels. In contrast, Wash. Rinse. Repeat. (2020) presents a narrator’s voice reading a letter written by a military man to an MIT Professor while displaying a montage of thermal images, including those generated by armed and surveillance drones. Through this work, Albuquerque explores the impact of technology in warfare, surveillance, and human relationships. The installation also speaks to the potential of faulty equipment and human error in the deployment","PeriodicalId":206409,"journal":{"name":"Media Practice and Education","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130776381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
