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.

『メディアの生成』30年ぶりに復刊！

(English follows)
2023年2月13日、ちくま学芸文庫の一冊として『メディアの生成：アメリカ・ラジオの動態史』が復刊しました。

原著は僕の初の単著で、ちょうど30年前、1993年2月に世に出ました。

30年前の僕は、僕であって、しかしもはや僕ではない他者であり、その他者なる僕との対話は、この上もなくスリリングでした。

この本の出版を支えてくださったすべての方々に、心から感謝いたします。
本当にありがとうございました。

Listen to ICA Podcast: One World, One Network?

I had a joyful online meeting with Chen Changfeng (China) and Myria Georgiou (U.K.) hosted by Jack Qiu (Singapore) last year. It was edited and is now on the ICA Podcast Network as the third episode of “One World, One Network?.”

“One World, One Network!?” is the central theme of the 72nd ICA Conference. So, our podcast pieces are preludes of the event in Paris.
