The Swiss film platform and online media library for education, nanoo.tv , has been in use in Swiss educational institutions from primary school to tertiary level since 2006. The platform allows to record, edit, and share audio-visual content from TV programmes and other sources with teachers and students. Furthermore, the online media library allows access to more than 300,000 tutorials, feature films, documentaries and other audiovisual content. The founders of nanoo.tv have made a significant contribution to establishing the copyright conditions presently applicable to the use of audiovisual content in education in Switzerland. The media platform is currently used in over 140 Swiss educational institutions.

This article identifies the current global 'techlash' towards the major digital and social media platforms as providing the context for a renewed debate about whether these digital platform companies are effectively media companies (publishers and broadcasters of media content), and implications this has for twenty-first-century media policy. It identifies content moderation as a critical site around which such debates are being played out, and considers the challenges arising as national and regionally based regulatory options are considered for digital platforms that are 'born global'. It considers the shifting balance between the 'social contract' of public interest obligations and democratic rights of free speech and freedom of expression.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AS WE KNOW THEM? We've just accepted that how social media is now, is how it's always going to be. But Facebook started as a site for college students to rate each other's physical attractiveness. Instagram was essentially a way to organise alcoholbased gatherings, and was originally called Bourbon. Why should we accept these platforms that were designed for sophomoric purposes as the status quo, as the inevitable?

Promoting engagement with brand posts tends to be important for brands and marketers who aim for success in social media marketing. With the variety of social media available today, it can be difficult for brand and marketing practitioners, especially small brands, to coordinate their efforts across different platforms. This study examines platform and content strategies in terms of engagement with brand posts through data mining and one-way ANOVA. The results suggest that for each brand, engagement with brand posts can be improved by choosing an appropriate platform strategy, instead of using a different content strategy across platforms. These findings contribute to a limited analysis of platform strategies for social media marketing engagement of today’s brands.

Media-aware stock performance has been well recognized in recent studies. Previous research, however, focused on the content influence of the media, ignoring the manner in which the media is delivered. Based on the trust theory, this study argues that the media platforms, as media distribution vehicles and trust endorsement for news, are themselves influential on the stock market. This paper collected news data from seven Chinese mainstream media platforms and classified them into official, professional, and mass media platforms to investigate the impact of different platforms. The authors find that high official and professional media coverage predict increased abnormal returns, while high mass media coverage predicts the opposite. In addition, this paper systematically explores the mechanism of media platforms on stock performance from the perspectives of platform content, audience, and publication timeliness. The findings include that investors' attention to media platforms has a moderating effect on the stock performance, and such an effect is more salient in bear markets.

PurposeIn this study, specific measures adopted by the social media platforms in China supporting personal information management are investigated via surveys targeting such platforms. The purpose of this paper is to find out how social media platforms understand information management, and from which aspects and through what specific methods they provide support for information management, which contributes to understanding the issues and strategies associated with personal information management on social media.Design/methodology/approachThe dimensions and specific contents of the current platform support provided for information management are clearly defined by performing qualitative text analysis based on the content obtained from 11 platform policies published by five representative Chinese social media platforms.FindingsHow social media platforms support personal information management on creation, collection, utilisation, sharing, storage, protection, removal and modification is identified. By analysing the status quo of support provided by the Chinese social media platform, some issues are proposed for discussion. Improved normative management is required to address the coexistence of multivalued information and management risks. However, the user rights are limited because the platform policies tend to be more focused on the perspective of the social media platform. Furthermore, the platform policy contents regarding information management are incomplete, and the applicability of these policies should be improved.Originality/valueThis study seeks to contribute to personal information management on social media from the perspective of platform support. The perspective from the platforms as the service providers supporting information management also helps identify information management challenges and potential strategies. Furthermore, combining with the personal information management perspective, this study provides a background understanding of information management under a social collaborative framework for platforms, authorities, users and memory institutions.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-06-2020-0249

Increasing demand for immersive media service and improved television device techniques accelerate ultra-high definition (UHD) service realisation. In addition, the traditional broadcasting service has advanced into a smart media with the help of communication network and information technology. However, terrestrial broadcasters comparatively lag behind new players in spite of their powerful contents and stable terrestrial media delivery networks. In this paper, we consider system requirement of terrestrial UHDTV broadcasting service and propose system architecture of the UHDTV media platform based on a set-top-box (STB) with various new functions. Also, we suggest specific transmission network architecture and platform components for UHD broadcasting service. The proposed media platform is expected to increase the number of direct receiving households and to enhance the rights of the free-viewers, which is one of the natural missions of terrestrial broadcasters. Also, it can provide some profit models of UHD terrestrial broadcasting service with new value-added services.

? 2022 Elsevier LtdConspiracy theories proliferate online. We provide an overview of information consumption patterns related to conspiracy content on four mainstream social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit), with a focus on niche ones. Opinion polarisation and echo chambers appear as pivotal elements of communication around conspiracy theories. A relevant role may also be played by the content moderation policies enforced by each social media platform. Banning contents or users from a social media could lead to a level of user segregation that goes beyond echo chambers and reaches the entire social media space, up to the formation of ‘echo platforms’. The insurgence of echo platforms is a new online phenomenon that needs to be investigated as it could foster many dangerous phenomena that we observe online, including the spreading of conspiracy theories.

This article sets out the emergent challenges and opportunities for developing effective and 'future proof policy for regulating media plurality. This analysis is carried out against the backdrop of UK authorities' 2018 public interest test of the proposed merger between 21st Century Fox and Sky, and the latest data on the UK media ownership landscape. That merger review established important precedents for plurality reform, particularly in its acknowledgement that digital intermediaries are not an inherently pluralizing force and that regulatory intervention is needed to prevent concentrations of agenda power, especially at the level of wholesale newsgathering. The article goes on to critically examine the existing regulatory approach to considerations of whether media mergers are in the public interest, especially in the light of mounting evidence of intensifying consolidation within and across news platforms. This article argues that effective plurality reform must start with new legislation that sets out indicative thresholds and detailed guidance on the meaning of plurality sufficiency. This will enable a proper assessment of plurality outside merger activity and could serve as the basis for periodic reviews, enabling regulators to respond effectively to the challenge of new technologies and dynamic market conditions. We also address problems in the plurality measurement framework developed by Ofcom, namely, the inclusion of digital intermediaries as news 'sources' in data collection and analysis. In light of findings from the Fox/Sky merger review, a more effective approach would be to reallocate consumption attributed to major intermediaries based on analysis of the actual news sources consumed via those platforms. Far from privileging intermediaries, this approach will provide a more robust basis on which to bring them into the fold of plurality regulation, namely, through the development of plurality standards for algorithm governance. Such an approach also reflects a new reality in which the interplay of gatekeeping and agenda power between traditional media and intermediaries is not a zero-sum game, amidst growing evidence that major intermediaries are serving to consolidate rather than diversify the news offer in favour of incumbent and mostly legacy publishers.

We offer a model of media as a multisided platform, providing entertainment and news to viewers, commercial opportunities to advertisers, and political influence to politicians, thanks to the presence of influenceable voters among the media audience. We characterize a political economic equilibrium, determining simultaneously media choices and politicians' electoral positions. We show that as the value of political influence increases, the media transitions from catering to commercial advertisers to selling political influence, resulting in policy choices that hurt influenceable voters.
