<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This study integrates corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis to analyze 1858 news reports about the Flint water crisis published between 2014 and 2018. I use keywords as a core analytical technique to
compare local/regional and national news coverage. Both local and national news reports overemphasized government activities while downplaying the unofficial voices of residents and community activists. Additionally, national newspapers were more likely than
local newspapers to use racial cues in describing the Flint community and to associate the crisis with other social problems. News media should provide wide coverage of the affected community’s efforts in risk/crisis communication rather than reproducing official
messages. News representations should be cautious of strengthening stereotypes or forming negative conceptual associations of traditionally disenfranchised communities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We identified a gap in the literature on user perceptions and concerns over privacy in Eastern cultures, which is scarce despite the increasing concern over privacy in professional communication. Informed by the
recent literature on the privacy paradox and Foucault and Deleuze’s work on power, the unbalanced and normalising power relationship between Facebook and its users in Eastern contexts is identified as a synthesis of discipline and control. Data from a survey
of 797 young users in Hong Kong supported our hypotheses that the privacy paradox is evident for Facebook users in Hong Kong. Excessive Facebook use leads to reactive privacy awareness and normalisation behaviours. Technology giants such as Facebook should
pioneer the safeguarding of user privacy while encouraging social relationships and freedom of expression. Implications for Internet governance are discussed from a multi-stakeholder perspective.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We conducted an exploratory study to test the delivery of technical instructions built on the principles of minimalism. The aim was to investigate how we could support target users’ skill levels in a context-sensitive
manner. We created material and tested the concept in user studies with maintenance personnel in three countries. We collected feedback through participant observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The minimalist approach of delivering information to maintenance
technicians was well received and supported users with varying skill levels. The context-sensitive level of expertise concept empowers users to decide on the depth of technical information that they require to complete the task at hand. The semantic structure
of DITA XML works well in the delivery of technical information to users based on their skill levels. Many of the key principles of minimalism are applicable to hardware maintenance instructions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Building a reputable network on Twitter is viewed as impactful in several scholarly disciplines, but little is known about the professional and interdisciplinary human-computer interaction (HCI) community. This
study combined two approaches from scholarly communication and technical communication to capture the static and dynamic features of the HCI scholar Twitter network. The network analysis method of the exponential random graph model (ERGM) was adopted to trace
and visualize current follower networks on Twitter. We found that 22.9% of HCI scholars use Twitter and that reciprocity and country of current employment best drive the Twitter connections of scholars. Characteristics of HCI scholars’ tie formation online
are also illustrated and discussed. The empirical findings should be a helpful reference for HCI professional societies and individual scholars in operating online professional networks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Determining the usability of university websites ascertains that they serve their intended purpose. Their usability can be evaluated either by user testing or by expert inspection. Heuristic evaluation and guideline
reviews are two such inspection methods. Heuristic evaluation consists of a few general heuristics (rules), limited to checking general flaws in the design. A guideline review uses a much larger set of guidelines/suggestions that fit a specific business domain.
In this study, the two inspection methods are compared in a domain- and the culture-specific context in terms of the nature, time required, approach, templates, and results. The results reflect that both methods identify similar usability issues; however,
they differ in terms of the nature, time duration, evaluation procedure, templates, and evaluation results. This study provides insights about the choice of a method for domain- and culture-specific evaluation of university websites.</span></p>
