ΤikTok is the latest social networking tool said to be functioning as a source of informal mental health communication and is increasingly being utilized for giving and seeking advice, sharing information and personal stories about the symptoms, effects, challenges, and coping strategies related to stress and anxiety, among other mental health issues (McCashin & Murphy, 2022). Despite the rapid growth of TikTok-based research, investigations of mental health-relevant content on this platform are still very few. The current study aims to contribute to this body of research through a content analysis of the most popular TikTok videos labelled with pertinent hashtags, namely #anxiety, #stress, and #stressrelief. The aim is to map the practices through which TikTok content creators appropriate the platform’s affordances in order to create content and generate interactions around a focal object of common concern. The analysis focuses on diverse aspects of the platform’s use as a medium for creating stress- and anxiety-related content, including the content creator identity and presentation, video format, type and purpose, audience engagement levels, as well as reported sources, symptoms, consequences, and coping techniques of stress and anxiety. The examination of TikTok user practices offers insights into the evolving patterns of consumption and production of digital content, and cultural production in a social media context.","PeriodicalId":396191,"journal":{"name":"Emerging trends in Media and Technology","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121317743","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}

It is based upon the need for a \"change of course\" in the social, economic, cultural and environmental policies, to bring about the necessary transformation of the existing system (Raco, 2014). At the same time, however, it is presented as an abstract concept that, instead of mapping an agenda and signalling any commitment for a structural transformation of liberal consumer capitalism, seems to be an artistic extension of its life expectancy (Swyngedoow, 2010).\u0000According to Fuchs (2017), questions about capitalism and class are largely neglected when actions are promoted that support increased sustainability in neoliberal society. Starting from this paradox, our main research question is to capture how the term \"sustainability\" is presented in relation to the existing neoliberal system, as well as which ideologies are expressed as neutral in the context of public information.\u0000The aim of this research is to determine the role of the Greek media in shaping the semantics of sustainable development. Specifically, after clarifying the terms and conditions through domestic and international literature, the framing analysis of four online media relevant publications is applied as a method of examination. The study aims to identify which discourses are constructed, how many and which publications refer to sustainability in relation to the frames of 'sustainable development' and 'degrowth' and which of these are presented as neutral ideological frames. The analysis reveals an interesting paradox, pointing to contradictory perceptions of problems, responsibilities and solutions in relation to sustainable development, depending on whether it relates to the private or public sector.","PeriodicalId":396191,"journal":{"name":"Emerging trends in Media and Technology","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124612821","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}

The aim of this study was to explore the question, “How does the experience of writing blogs and producing podcasts for ATCKs contribute to an ATCK’s own sense of belonging?” The objectives were two-fold: 1) to discover how the topic of belonging is covered in blogs and podcasts produced by ATCKs for ATCKs; and 2) to explore how, by writing blogs or producing podcasts for other ATCKs, they contribute to their own sense of belonging. The qualitative method of netnography was used examining blogs and podcasts produced by three authors/producers. The findings were: 1) belonging, as presented in the blogs and podcasts, focused on ATCKs’ difficulty in defining home and constructed marginality, that is, being so convinced that you do not belong that you go through life continually looking for confirmation; 2) strategies for cultivating belonging, as presented in the blogs and podcasts, include shifting the focus from oneself to others, and connecting and building relationships with intentionality, authenticity, and healthy curiosity; and 3) by exercising for themselves the strategies for cultivating belonging outlined in the blogs and podcasts, the authors and producers can contribute to their own sense of belonging. As evidenced in this study, one way to journey towards belonging is through writing blogs and producing podcasts for ATCKs. By supporting others through the journey towards belonging and sharing their own stories along the way, ATCKs have the opportunity to connect and build relationships with other likeminded people and thereby mitigate the challenge of belonging for themselves. This research has global impact as not only can ATCKs be found in almost any country in the world, but also blogs and podcasts can reach anyone with internet access.","PeriodicalId":396191,"journal":{"name":"Emerging trends in Media and Technology","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115523255","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}
