Philosophy of communication and its role to the media in the industrial revolution 4.0

Journalism-Communication theory Wednesday, 17:00 22-09-2021

Abstract: As a form of consciousness about methodology, philosophy became the foundation for constructing media theories right from the beginning. In the history of Media studies, the theory of liberal media born during the bourgeois revolution in 17th century and the Frankfurt school about the power of science and media created in early 20th century in post-industrial context are two prominent theories about the power of media, science and technology. They in turn contributed to the formation of social consciousness, which influenced social life as well as social reality. In this aspect, it is important to clarify the power of philosophy about media from fundamental theories in the world to find out the implications for Vietnam in the current industrial revolution 4.0.

Fundamental theoretical concepts related to brand building and online brand management

Abstract: Social media is an integral part of people’s lives, particularly among the young generation. When social media expands, it creates a “miniature society”, allowing businesses to develop their brands. Aside from the benefits of social media (e.g. increased brand awareness, lower communication costs, easier interaction between customers and firms), brand management on social media is an urgent issue that attracts many modern media strategic managers’ attention. Basic theoretical issues such as concepts, brand equity, and online corporate brand management activities will be discussed in this article.
