Three-Dimensional Model of Media Literacy on YouTube

My short talk about a three-dimensional media literacy concept, shot by Thammasat University in Thailand on November 15 during the international academic seminar “Digital Media Literacy Movement: Glocalising Media Literacy in Cultural Contexts and Creating Communities for Building Connections,” is now available on YouTube!

『メディア教育宣言:デジタル社会をどう生きるか』発売

デビッド・バッキンガム『メディア教育宣言:デジタル社会をどう生きるか』(世界思想社)が、2024年11月16日に開始です。

いい本です。装丁もキレイで洒落てます。

ただし個人的には、他人が書いた本の翻訳などしている場合じゃなくて、自分自身の本を仕上げなくてはならない。しかし諸般の経緯から、監訳と解説文を引き受けました。

バッキンガムの俯瞰力と豪胆さは素晴らしい。ただ、日本を含む東アジアには相対的に独特なメディア環境がある。こちらにもそれなりの経験と蓄積がある。

自分の作品づくり、これからがんばります。


I supervised the translation of David Buckingham’s The Media Education Manifesto.

It is a good book. The design is beautiful and stylish.

However, I should be finishing my own book, not translating a book written by someone else. But I took on the job for various reasons, including the commentary.

Buckingham’s bird’s-eye view and boldness are fabulous. However, East Asia, including Japan, has a relatively unique media environment. We have our own experiences and thoughts.

I will do my best to create my own work from now on.

Shin became President of JAMS for two years

(日本語はうしろ)

I became President of the Japan Association for Media, Journalism and Communication Studies (JAMS).
I was elected as the new President at the Board of Directors meeting of the Spring Conference at Nara Prefectural University in June 2023.
For the next two years, I would like to regard academic society as one medium and do my best to make that medium exciting and interesting.
I would like to do this with the help of the Board of Directors, the Auditors, and the more than 1,000 members.
Thank you in advance for your support.

Workshop “Design for Digital Media Society and User” JAMS 2023 Nara, where Shin attended.

2023年6月になら県立大学で会った日本メディア学会春季大会の理事会で、私は新たな会長に選出されました。
これから2年間、学会を1つのメディアとしてとらえ、そのメディアが刺激的でおもしろいものになるように力を尽くしていきたいと思います。
理事・監事の方々や千名を超える会員のみなさんのお力を借りながら進めていきたいと思います。どうかよろしくお願いいたします。

Two articles on platforms and AI literacy were out!

Two anthologies to which I have contributed have recently been published. In both articles, I discussed reflective workshops I developed, thinking about how we metaphorically understand platforms and AI. I thank the editors for allowing me to publish them.

I believe, however, that it is not enough to decode and understand platforms and AI but that it is necessary to find approaches for practical intervention by citizens. I intend to discuss this thoroughly in my forthcoming monograph.
