Background and reference sources ONLINE
Reference materials can be good resources for subject overviews and a means to collect useful keywords. The bibliographies frequently include key texts and thinkers that are associated with a specific subject. Tips for using reference sources: 1. Look at the cross-references that many entries provide. These can be helpful in pointing you toward a related or more accurate idea/term. 2. One of the most important elements of any good reference source entry is its bibliography. Take note of the books or articles that the entry's author deems elementary to understanding the individual or idea.

Media and Public Shaming by Call Number: Green Library Stacks: PN4735 .M43 2013ISBN: 9781780765877Publication Date: 2013-08-15The media today, and especially the national press, are frequently in conflict with people in the public eye, particularly politicians and celebrities, over the disclosure of private information and behaviour. Historically, journalists have argued that 'naming and shaming' serious wrong-doing and behaviour on the part of public officials is justified as being in the public interest. However, when the media spotlight is shone on perfetly legal personal behaviour, family issues and sexual orientation, and when, in particular this involves ordinary people, the question arises of whether such matters are really in the 'public interest' in any meaningful sense of the term. In this book, leading academics, commentators and journalists from a variety of different cultures consider the extent to which the media are entitled to reveal details of people's private lives, the laws and regulations which govern such relations, and whether these are still relevant in the age of social media.
Regulating Social Media by Call Number: Law Library Stacks 1: KF390.5 .C6 R44 2013ISBN: 9781433114830Publication Date: 2013-05-31Convergence, participatory culture, multimedia technologies, and social media platforms are creating new communicative opportunities that fundamentally influence citizenship and journalism. Social media present a staggering breadth of legal and ethical matters to consider. The limits and laws of free expression in this new media landscape are beginning to emerge both domestically and internationally, causing us to ask the following questions: How do we conceive of privacy? Should the law protect citizen journalists? How do social media affect ethical obligations of journalists and public relations professionals? This volume will address the scope and nature of this developing environment of expression with chapter topics ranging from privacy, cyber-bullying, and harassment to defamation, intellectual property rights, and online safety.

An essential toolkit to help everyone -- from parents to teenagers to educators -- take charge of their digital lives. Online shame comes in many forms, and it's surprising how much of an effect a simple tweet might have on your business, love life, or school peers. A rogue tweet might bring down a CEO; and virtual harassment might cause real psychological damage. In Shame Nation, parent advocate and internet safety expert Sue Scheff presents an eye-opening examination around the rise in online shaming, and offers practical advice and tips.
- Free speech and the regulation of social media content
Report prepared for information for members of US Congress: It explores how the First Amendment applies to social media providers’ content presentation decisions. Looking to three possible analogues drawn from existing First Amendment law, the report explores whether social media companies could be viewed in the same way as company towns, broadcasters, or newspaper editors. The report also explains the possible regulatory implications of each First Amendment framework as Congress
considers the novel legal issues raised by the regulation of social media. - Journal Article: Objectification, Sexualization, and Misrepresentation: Social Media and the College ExperienceDavis, S.

Social media use can have major impacts on one’s construction of identity, sexuality, and gender. However, some social media sites exhibit problematic and prejudiced themes through their photo and video posts. This paper examines two Instagram sites specifically targeting traditionally college-aged individuals. These sites have tens of thousands of followers, post frequently, and solely focus on highlighting the college experience. Through a textual analysis of these two sites, problematic themes emerged, including objectification of female college students, submissiveness of female college students, and emphasis on a young white college experience. These themes are detailed and explored, followed by a discussion on their potential impacts on broader societal structures and ideas for education on gendered prejudices in the media. - Law Review Article: Trending Now: The Use of Social Media Websites in Public Shaming Punishments

Picture of someone you know. Maybe it is a friend from high school or college, perhaps a colleague, a family member, or an acquaintance you have not spoken to for years. This picture is odd because it is unlike a typical Facebook picture of a friend's wedding or a colleague's birthday party: it is that person's mug shot. Alongside the mug shot, the caption reads: "I am a thief. This is my punishment."
At first blush, this scenario seems completely outlandish. However, shaming punishments are alive and well in today's society and are often imposed upon convicts as part of their probation conditions. Courts have yet to take these shaming punishments to the realm of online social media, but such punishments have included other forms of public display and have also infiltrated print media.
In today's technologically driven world, it is possible that the next step for the
judiciary would be to incorporate the realm of online social media into its public shaming punishments.
