Harm generally mental / emotional rather than physical, but arguably worse than physical due to potential audience of billions (increasing shame factor), its 24/7 unrelenting nature (no escape even when at home), difficulty in getting redress (even when / if perpetrator takes down offensive material or apologises it's too late, multiple copies already made etc). Long tail impacts.

  • Do not click on any links in an email or SMS if you are not sure of the source 
  • Look for the ‘padlock’ and https in the URL field and use established, well known sites

Increasingly participatory.
Major recent changes driven by fall in advertising revenue (targeting, automation, shirt of value creation to multi-national tech companies)
Blurring of boundaries -- on many levels, aspects, eg, publisher or tech company?
Convergence (enabled by repurposing of content across different platforms)
Audience predicition is hard, explains unusual structure of media / media production.
Access dictated by # of available screens
Traditional news media still main originators of content cf tech platforms that curate content already produced
Newspapers the main victim of the shift to online, general public most not aware, or sympathetic when they do know. Australians less interested in news generally (in traditional sense).
Self-selected vx pre-selected personalisation (latter = filter bubbles)

Big media companies worth more / wield more power than many nation states
FB very poor at removing hate speech outside US, see anti-Muslim examples
Emojis very good at promoting engagement ... and outrage
