Millennial North Korea : forbidden media and living creatively with surveillance / by Kim, Suk-Young,1970-author.(CARDINAL)493530;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction : into the new millennium -- The millennium comes to North Korea -- The rise of North Korean millennials -- This story is ours -- Visions and sounds to change lives -- Conclusion : millennial media."North Korea may be known as the world's most secluded society, but it too has witnessed the rapid rise of new media technologies in the new millennium, including the introduction of a 3G cell phone network in 2008. In 2009, there were only 70,000 cell phones in North Korea. That number has grown tremendously in just over a decade, with over 7 million registered as of 2022. This expansion took place amid extreme economic hardship, and the ensuing possibilities of destabilization. Against this social and political backdrop, Millennial North Korea traces how the rapidly expanding media networks in North Korea impact their millennial generation, especially their perspective on the outside world. Suk-Young Kim argues that millennials in North Korea play a crucial role in exposing the increasing tension between the state and its people, between risktakers who dare to transgress strict social rules and compliant citizens accustomed to the state's centralized governance, and between thriving entrepreneurs and those left out of the growing market economy. Combining a close reading of North Korean state media with original interviews with defectors, Kim explores how the tensions between millennial North Korea and North Korean millennials leads to a more nuanced understanding of a fractured and fragmented society that has been frequently perceived as an unchanging, monolithic entity"--

The news [large print] a user's manual / by De Botton, Alain,author.(CARDINAL)353093;
Preface -- Politics -- World news -- Economics -- Celebrity -- Disaster -- Consumption -- Conclusion.The news is everywhere. We can't stop constantly checking it on our computes, but what is this doing to our minds? We are never really taught how to make sense of the torrent of news we face every day, writes Alain de Botton, but this has a huge impact on our sense of what matters and of how we should lead our lives. Here, de Botton takes twenty-five archetypal news stories--including an airplane crash, a murder, a celebrity interview and a political scandal--and submits them to unusually intense analysis with a view to helping us navigate our news-soaked age. He raises such questions as: Why are disaster stories often so uplifting? What makes the love lives of celebrities so interesting? Why do we enjoy watching politicians being brought down? Why are upheavals in far-off lands often so boring? De Botton has written the ultimate guide for our frenzied era, certain to bring calm, understanding and a measure of sanity to our daily (perhaps even hourly) interactions with the news machine.

Static : government liars, media cheerleaders, and the people who fight back / by Goodman, Amy,1957-(CARDINAL)465098; Goodman, David,1959-(CARDINAL)768880;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 309-327) and index.The brother-sister journalist team of Amy and David Goodman once again take on government liars, corporate profiteers, and the media that has acted as their megaphone. They expose how the Bush administration has manipulated and fabricated news and how the corporate media has worked hand in glove with the powerful to deceive the public. The Goodmans cut through the spin and static to offer the truth about war, torture, and government control of the media. Mixing investigative reporting and interviews, Static presents voices of dissidents, activists, and others who are too often frozen out of official debate, to shed new light on urgent issues of war and peace. This book is a rallying call for people to take back our government, our media, and our world.--From publisher description.

(Not) getting paid to do what you love : gender, social media, and aspirational work / by Duffy, Brooke Erin,author.(CARDINAL)491617;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-292) and index.Entrepreneurial wishes and career dreams -- The aspirational ethos : gender, consumerism, and labor -- (Not) just for the fun of it : the labor of social media production -- Branding the authentic self : the commercial appeal of "being real" -- "And now, a word from our sponsor" : attracting advertisers, building brands, leveraging (free) labor -- The "Instagram filter" : dispelling the myths of entrepreneurial glamour -- Aspirational labor's (in)visibility -- Epilogue: The aspirational labour of an academic."Profound transformations in our digital society have brought many enterprising women to social media platforms--from blogs to YouTube to Instagram--in hopes of channeling their talents into fulfilling careers. In this eye-opening book, Brooke Erin Duffy draws much-needed attention to the gap between the handful who find lucrative careers and the rest, whose "passion projects" amount to free work for corporate brands. Drawing on interviews and fieldwork, Duffy offers fascinating insights into the work and lives of fashion bloggers, beauty vloggers, and designers. She connects the activities of these women to larger shifts in unpaid and gendered labor, offering a lens through which to understand, anticipate, and critique broader transformations in the creative economy. At a moment when social media offer the rousing assurance that anyone can "make it"--and stand out among freelancers, temps, and gig workers--Duffy asks us all to consider the stakes of not getting paid to do what you love." -- Publisher's description
