Item Digital Technology Self-Efficacy Survey Instrument(2024-04-17) Hughes, Joan E.This Digital Technology Self-Efficacy survey was constructed and adapted using 17-item computer self-efficacy scale from Holcomb et al., 2004, which was also adapted from Cassidy & Eachus’ (2002) self-efficacy instrument of 30-items. This scale aims to measure respondents’ confidence in technology in general. Cassidy, S., & Eachus, P. (2002).

This study seeks to understand how newsroom employees perceive the digital roles in their newsrooms and how traditional and digital journalists collaborate across media channels. In this research project, traditional media is defined as print, television, and radio formats; digital media is defined as websites, mobile apps, social media, and over-the-top streaming networks. To investigate how all journalists perceive the digital producer role in their newsrooms, the core concepts studied were the function of the digital producer role, the cooperation between traditional and digital journalist, and how each type of journalist incorporates audience into the work they perform. Using a mixed method approach of an online survey coupled with semi-structured interviews, this study defines how traditional and digital journalists view the digital producer role with the goal of finding shared meaning that can bolster future collaboration and shared responsibilities for publishing content across many platforms and for many different audiences. Interview participants identified five ways in which digital producers service their newsrooms: initiator, coordinator, facilitator, teacher and evangelist. Based on those aspects of work and the feedback provided participants, this study recommends newsrooms focus on five activities: inclusion, education, accountability, reinforcement and recognition. Researching this topic also produced a surprise finding: The discussion created epiphanies and recognition of how a traditional newsroom’s digital team contributes to the broader operation of the organization. Several journalists interviewed said they never really thought about all the different types of tasks digital producers do and how those activities cross the spectrum of newsroom roles. There is still a lack of awareness in the tasks and digital best practices traditional journalists can adopt and share across their newsrooms to prepare for a more digital-first future despite participants recognizing their digital colleagues do more than they initially perceived.Item Exploring a new radio audience : a podcast case study in public radio’s conversion from analog to digital audiences(2009-05) Avila, Alexander James; Gil de Zúñiga, Homero; Alves, RosentalThis thesis began as an audience exploration into early adopters of “podcasting” technology through the journalistic radio program Latino USA, distributed by National Public Radio. An explosion in the use of this new media has changed the way radio networks distribute programming, yet little communications research has been done about the audience. This examination documents how podcast audiences are significantly younger and are both substituting and supplementing traditional media. The study also determined that iPod users are significantly more likely to abandon CDs, listen to less radio, and watch less television as the industry converts from 20th Century analog to 21st Century digital technology. Qualitatively speaking, the podcast audience is highly regarded, but quantitatively small. Despite producer expectations that podcasting is the digital mass media of the future, the data shows audiences to have interpersonal connections to podcasting. As such podcasting remains niche programming and not a true mass medium.Item futureplaces Doctoral Symposium 2011(UT Austin|Portugal CoLab, 2011-10-11) Alvelos, Heitor; Gustafson, KarenSlides and posters by Portuguese PhD students in the Digital Media doctoral programs associated with the UT Austin|Portugal Program (CoLab).
