     Abstracts:
     The domestication of video-on-demand : folk understanding of a new
     technology

     Rich Ling, Siri Nilsen and Stephan Granhaug Telnor R&D, Norway

     This article describes several of the elements that have relevance in
     the integration of video-on-demand into the home. The specific case
     examined here involves a trial carried out in Oslo, Norway. Using
     qualitative methods, the study describes how a selection of users
     integrated the technology into the mental and physical contexts of
     their everyday lives. Video-on-demand is a technology that is outside
     our taken-for-granted experience and thus its integration presents a
     chance to observe the domestication of technology in everyday life.

     Understanding the development of online newspapers : using
     computer-mediated communication theorizing to study Internet
     publishing

     Pablo Boczkowski Cornell University, New York, USA

     The central argument of this article is that the social study of
     computer-mediated communication (CMC) has generated knowledge about at
     least four issues that have figured prominently in the development of
     online newspapers. Thus, CMC scholarship becomes relevant to analyzing
     the electronic version of a medium that has traditionally been the
     almost exclusive province of mass communication theorizing. Four
     issues are identified: (1) the social consequences of the increased
     anonymity of interlocutors; (2) the reconfiguration of territorially-
     and interest-based associations; (3) the processes that mediate
     between the introduction of new artifacts and their social outcomes;
     and (4) the mutual shaping of consumers and technologies. The role
     each has had in the construction of online newspapers is explicated
     and potential avenues for further research are suggested. Finally,
     Boczkowski maintains that the work outlined in this article fosters
     two dialogues crucial to the future of communication in increasingly
     networked societies: those between CMC and mass communication
     scholarship, and between media theory and practice.
