Whether it is conceived as “mental health,” “subjective well-being,” “flourishing,” “positive thinking,” “life satisfaction,” or another term, well-being has been the subject of scientific research for more than a century (Rodman & Fry, 2009). The longevity of the literature is understandable because of the accumulative evidence across the decades that high citizen well-being produces a variety of normatively desirable individual and societal benefits. These include increased mortality, health, academic achievement, workforce productivity, and prosocial behaviors (Maccagnan et al., 2018). During my graduate studies, I was especially fascinated by the ongoing academic and societal discourses on the beneficial and deleterious consequences of mobile phones (i.e., Rainie & Wellman, 2012; Turkle, 2011) as well as my own gradual realization that the mobile phone has become so integral to my everyday life. The successive emergence of new communication technologies since the 1990s such as the Internet and social media have stimulated a vast literature on whether they engender or diminish psychological well-being. Research on mobile phones is no exception given that it is one of the fastest-diffusing technologies in the world (Wei, 2013). Indeed, a cursory search of mobile phone and well-being related keywords in Google Scholar exemplifies the growth, which shows few signs of abating (Figure 1).

We have more precisely defined mobile communication scholarship and began to focus on spatial, temporal, and power dynamics surrounding mobility and mobile devices (e.g., Campbell, 2013; Frith & Özkul, 2019; Stephens, 2018). Our scholarship has led the way by publishing research on diverse types of work and workers around the globe (e.g., construction workers: Pink et al., 2014; janitorial staff: Stephens & Ford, 2016; livestock farmers: Vidal-González & Fernández-Piqueras, 2021). Now, in a world that has recently experienced multiple cascading disasters, including a global pandemic, mobile communication has become even more important, and in the next five years we have new occasions to contribute our theoretical and empirical research. Before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in the US, 7% of the population were considered full-time mobile workers—worked outside a designated work location—so mobile work is not a new practice (Parker et al., 2020). Scholars in a host of fields have studied telework, virtual work, and the use of mobile technologies in organizations (e.g., Watson-Manheim et al., 2002). What is different is that during 2020, we experienced extreme growth as the percentage of people working outside a formal workplace full time jumped from 7% to 50% (Parker et al., 2020). With that shift came a host of new challenges: parents could not find childcare outside the home, care responsibilities more often fell on women, people were less mobile as travel came to a halt, and many people having to work from home did not have a dedicated place to do their job","PeriodicalId":46650,"journal":{"name":"Mobile Media & Communication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49244771","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}

Compared to the cyberspace widely celebrated as a realm apart, from the 1990s and into the 2000s, DE is a particularly ambitious example of the so-called digital twins (Savage, 2022) that promise to reintegrate online and offline realities in a new category of infrastructure, namely, the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) (Bunz & Meikle, 2018)—which the field of media and communication research has barely begun to address. As I review the schedule of the 2022 Paris meeting of the International Communication Association to prepare for a hybrid online–offline reunion against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic, a search for the text string “internet of things” returns neither session headings nor paper titles—none. The subfield coming together in the pages of Mobile Media & Communication, from the outset, raised shared and foundational questions concerning the definition and delimitation of media, communication, and mobility. What, indeed, is mobile about mobile media and communication (Jensen, 2013)? Ten years on, IoT is reiterating and radicalizing the conceptual and methodological challenges. From early feature phones to current smartphones, mobile media enabled users to move about as they communicated, to maintain contact with individuals and objects of interest elsewhere, to interact with other subjects, and to act on things at a distance.

On the one hand, the journal—and mobile communication studies (MCS) as a field more generally—have made amazing strides in just 10 years, going from a brand-new journal in 2013 to one of the International Communication Association’s top journals by 2022. On the other hand, the growth is somewhat explainable because mobile phones have now become the dominant form of contemporary communication media. Back whenMMC published its inaugural issue, smartphones were still relatively new (at least in academic research terms) and there was a relatively small number of communication researchers who focused on mobile phone practices. But that is obviously no longer the case. At this point, most media studies research focuses on smartphones because most media are accessed through smartphones. Consequently, while the rise of the smartphone helped MMC and MCS grow, simply studying smartphones has not been what has cemented MCS as an identifiable field of research (Campbell, 2019). Instead, MCS has continued to develop as a field because of the community of researchers and, maybe most importantly, MMC. Without the mobile research community and MMC as a venue to set the tone for the field, we could have easily been swallowed up by more established communication fields. In fact, I suspect that’s exactly what would have happened as smartphones became ubiquitous and smartphone research became far too prevalent to group it all under the MCS label. If all we had tying us together as a research community was “we study mobile phones,” then we would have little reason to exist in 2022 when most communication research is at least tangentially","PeriodicalId":46650,"journal":{"name":"Mobile Media & Communication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48676272","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 unprecedented surveillance enterprise attracted extensive media attention and sparked a vigorous public debate regarding technology and democratic values such as privacy, mobility, and control. This article examines press coverage of Israel's surveillance of its citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic by four leading news sites to identify and map the frames that informed their reports. Based on a thematic analysis, our findings point to supportive and critical constructions of mobile phone location-tracking and organize them within two scapes: personal; and international. These attest to the collective imagining of intimacies and public life, respectively. We draw on the case study to articulate mobile phones as devices that reduce movement into manageable mapped information and individuals into controllable data.
