Professor Daniel C. Hallin, Distinguished Professor of Communication at UC San Diego, shares his thoughts on media systems and how digital media relates to the concept. We discuss the components of a 'system' and current debates around the concept of 'hybridity' in media studies. This leads to a broader discussion of conceptual stretching, media capture, and how single case studies can be made comparative through dialogue with existing scholarship. The recording took place while Prof. Hallin was a Visiting Professor at the Department of Communication and Media at Lund. Here are the two articles we discuss in the episode: Comparative Research, System Change, and the Complexity of Media Systems (2020)The Concept of Hybridity in Journalism Studies (2023)

Naar aanleiding van het veelbesproken boek 'De Belg' organiseerde deBuren een debat over de invloed van Christian Van Thillo en DPG op het medialandschap van de Lage Landen. Leidt winstbejag tot meer clickbait en minder onderzoeksjournalistiek? Dreigt eenheidsworst door bezuinigingen en het overnemen van berichtgeving van andere media binnen het concern? Zwaait Van Thillo op inhoudelijk gebied de scepter achter de schermen? Of is dat allemaal onzin en creëert schaalvergroting juist ruimte voor betere journalistiek? Deze en andere vragen kwamen aan de orde tijdens een geanimeerde discussie tussen Mark Koster (auteur van het boek), Jan 't Hart (adjunct-hoofdredacteur Holland Media Combinatie/Mediahuis) en Hanne Vandenberghe (professor aan het Centre for Journalism Studies, UGent) o.l.v. Piet Depuydt (journalist bij De Tijd). Meer info: https://deburen.eu/programma/mediacafe-of-de-belg-hoe-ver-reikt-de-macht-van-christian-van-thillo

Journalists around the world agree that autonomy is central to their work, but what exactly is it journalists should be autonomous from, and for what should they use this autonomy? Henrik Örnebring and Michael Karlsson discuss their book Journalistic Autonomy: The Genealogy of a Concept (University of Missouri Press, 2022), which traces the genealogy of the idea of journalistic autonomy from the press freedom debates of the 17th century up to the digital, networked world of the 21st century. In a conversation with Joanne Kuai, the authors talk about what is ‘autonomy' and what it means in the context of journalism, and the journey of exploring the concept, using a theoretical framework that draws upon Friedrich Nietzsche, feminist philosophy, theoretical biology, and other disciplines. They reflect on whether the concept could be applied not only in liberal democracies but also in totalitarian regimes, and also discuss their ideals of journalism as an institution and what conditions are needed to facilitate that. Henrik Örnebring is Professor of Media and Communication in the Department of Geography, Media, and Communication at Karlstad University, Sweden. Dr. Örnebring has published widely on journalism, media history, and new media in anthologies and scholarly journals and his most recent book is Newsworkers: Comparing Journalists in Six European Countries.

In a conversation with Joanne Kuai, the authors talk about what is ‘autonomy' and what it means in the context of journalism, and the journey of exploring the concept, using a theoretical framework that draws upon Friedrich Nietzsche, feminist philosophy, theoretical biology, and other disciplines. They reflect on whether the concept could be applied not only in liberal democracies but also in totalitarian regimes, and also discuss their ideals of journalism as an institution and what conditions are needed to facilitate that. Henrik Örnebring is Professor of Media and Communication in the Department of Geography, Media, and Communication at Karlstad University, Sweden. Dr. Örnebring has published widely on journalism, media history, and new media in anthologies and scholarly journals and his most recent book is Newsworkers: Comparing Journalists in Six European Countries. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Journalism Studies. Michael Karlsson is Professor of Media and Communication in the Department of Geography, Media and Communication at Karlstad University, Sweden. He has primarily published on issues pertaining to the digitalization of journalism. He is also the author of Transparency and Journalism: A Critical Appraisal of a Disruptive Norm. His is co-editor of Rethinking Research Methods in an Age of Digital Journalism. He is a Senior Editor of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Journalism Studies. Joanne Kuai is a PhD Candidate at Karlstad University, Sweden, with a research project on Artificial Intelligence in Chinese Newsrooms. Her research interests centre around data and AI for media, computational journalism, and the social implications of automation and algorithms. Find her on LinkedIn or Twitter @JoanneKuai.

Hello, world! This is the Global Media & Communication podcast series. In this episode, our host Yuval Katz discusses the book The Ethics of Engagement: Media, Conflict and Democracy in Africa (Oxford UP, 2020) by Herman Wasserman. You'll hear about: The ethical and methodological challenges of studying media in Africa; Why democratization is not a linear process; What tools journalists have at their disposal to support processes of democratization; Reflections on the professional conduct of journalists and what they can do to be more attentive to the needs of ordinary people; Why conflicts are not necessarily detrimental to democracy; Some tips and advice for early career scholars studying the Global South. About the book The book discusses the relationship between media, conflict, and democratization in Africa from the perspective of media ethics. Despite the commonly held view that conflict is a destructive political force that can destabilize democracies, the argument in this book is that while many conflicts can indeed become violent and destructive, they can also be managed in a way that can render them productive and communicative to democracy. Drawing on theoretical insights from the fields of journalism studies, political studies, and cultural studies, the book discusses the ethics of conflict coverage and proposes a normative model for covering conflict and democratization. The book argues for an “ethics of listening” that would enable the media to help de-escalate violent conflict and contribute to the deepening of an agonistic democratic culture in contexts of high inequality, ethnic and racial polarization, and uneven access to media. This argument is illustrated by examples drawn from recent events in African democracies such as student protests, community activism, struggles for resources, and social media conflicts. The book also scrutinizes the media's ethical roles and responsibilities in African societies by considering questions regarding journalistic professionalism, ethical codes, and regulation in the context of rising misinformation. The book provides a critical African perspective on global debates about media, politics, and democracy and the media's ethical commitments in contexts of conflict. You can find the book here. Author: Herman Wasserman is a Professor of Media Studies and Director of the Centre for Film and Media Studies at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. He is the author of several books, has published widely on media, ethics and democracy in Africa. His awards include the Georg Foster Prize from the German Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, a Fulbright Fellowship and the Neva Prize for Journalism Theory from the University of St Petersburg, amongst others. Host: Yuval Katz is a postdoctoral fellow at the Annenberg School for Communication with a joint appointment at the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication (CARGC) and the Center on Digital Culture and Society (CDCS). His work inspects how media help us rethink the relationship between people involved in intractable, violent conflicts. He is currently writing a book titled In Search of a Medium: Palestinian and Jewish Encounters in Media Texts and Industry Practices, where he examines Israeli media spaces in which Israeli Jews and Palestinians collaborate creatively. Editor & Producer: Jing Wang Keywords: Africa, Agonism, Democratization, Journalism Studies, Listening, Media Ethics, Peace Our podcast is part of the multimodal project powered by the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication (CARGC) at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.

Journalisten werken steeds vaker internationaal samen. Dat gebeurt niet alleen op grote schaal, zoals bij de Panama Papers, maar ook kleinschaliger op initiatief van individuele freelancejournalisten. Onderzoeksjournalist Tim Luimes werkt met een klein team van andere Europese journalisten aan onderzoek naar chemische vervuiling in Europa. In deze aflevering vertelt hij hoe zo'n samenwerking ontstaat en wat er bij komt kijken om een internationaal project tot een goed einde te brengen. Tim Luimes is freelancejournalist en verbonden aan de Investigative Desk. Hij publiceerde de afgelopen jaren onder meer bij Follow the Money, De Groene Amsterdammer, Vrij Nederland en de NRC. De aanleiding van het gesprek is zoals elke keer een wetenschappelijk paper dat Erwin gebruikt voor zijn promotieonderzoek naar de arbeidsomstandigheden van journalisten. Deze keer is dat: Transnational Journalism Networks ''From Below." Cross-Border Journalistic Collaboration in Individualized Newswork. Het artikel werd geschreven door Annett Heft en verscheen in 2021 in Journalism Studies. Meedoen aan het onderzoek naar de veiligheid van vrouwelijke journalisten?

Welcome to Nepal Now. My name is Marty Logan. I'm back after a long break – thanks for joining me. Today we're doing something different. On Aug 21st I was at St. Xavier's College in Kathmandu, talking with journalism students about podcasting. Actually, I tried to keep the talking part to a minimum — our main task was to create this episode that you're listening to now. The theme of the session was: When you're a journalist, how will you do journalism differently?  I was impressed with the ideas expressed by the students, who are between 18 and 22 years old, and still have three years of studies to complete. On the positive side, one noted the growing accessibility of global news, including during the Covid-19 pandemic. But others pointed out faults of Nepal's media, including the lack of female talk show hosts and the concentration of media in the capital, Kathmandu.    They also offered many suggestions for improving the industry. One shared her passion for becoming a voice for the voiceless, another of covering stories about minority communities, and a third would aim to tackle fake news and misinformation. More than one student believes it's important to divert the current focus of Nepal's journalism from politics to other aspects of society. Other approaches, like storytelling and citizen journalism, were also offered as new directions. A quick note to say that the sound is more echo-y than usual today because we recorded in a classroom at the college. I forgot to record the questions during the session so I added them afterwards.ResourcesSt. Xavier's CollegeNepal Now social linksFacebookInstagramTwitterLinkedInThanks as always to Nikunja Nepal for advice and inspiration.Music: amaretto needs ice ... by urmymuse (c) copyright 2018 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial  (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/urmymuse/57996 Ft: Apoxode

Sabrina shares an example: "In my first year working as an assistant professor in Media Studies, I traveled to Milan for a conference. As I was relatively new to the field, I decided to watch a colleague's presentation. Her session was chaired by a person who asked that colleague about a (in my mind) random topic that I also happened to be very interested in, just as I was thinking about that topic. I thought that that was a nice coincidence. Incidentally, I liked this person's thought processes so much, that we are now married!"

Trust in U.S. news media has been in free fall for years. That statement is problematic enough on its face, much less when consumers are in need of accurate information to stave off a global pandemic or choose a president to lead them through. Misinformation has sewn seeds of doubt, grown conspiracy theories and undermined the efforts of public health officials. Kareem El Damanhoury, a professor in the University of Denver's Department of Media, Film and Journalism Studies, discusses the roots of this distrust and offers solutions to news organizations and consumers alike.

Dr. Powers teaches mass communication research, media literacy, media and politics, news editing, sports writing, and the multimedia reporting capstone course at Towson. As a journalist for more than 15 years, he has covered higher education, health, business, sports, media, and the arts for publications such as The Los Angeles Times, Inside Higher Ed, and MediaShift. His research interests are audience engagement and the impact of journalism; youth civic engagement and news/media literacy; and media and disability.

Resources University of Pennsylvania - Annenberg School for Communication  America's Battle for Democracy: The Triumph of Corporate Libertarianism and the Future of Media Reform by Victor Pickard (Cambridge University Press)   Ill Fares the Land by Tony Judt (Penguin Books, 2011) News Roundup The FCC's effort to overturn net neutrality in one word: chaos The FCC's efforts to overturn the net neutrality rules have descended into total and complete chaos. First of all, it's hard to find anyone other than telecom companies, and the beltway insiders that represent them,  that support Ajit Pai's plan to overturn the rules at the December 14th meeting. A new Morning Consult poll finds that some 52% of Americans support net neutrality , with 29% who say they don't know. Just eighteen percent outright oppose. Further, the opposition to Ajit Pai's efforts appears to be bipartisan, with 53% of Republicans and Democrats coming in at just 2 points higher--55% who support the existing net neutrality rules. And then there's the Pew Research study showing that just 6% of comments submitted in the net neutrality docket are genuine, with others being fake and duplicates. Yet the FCC doesn't appear to be accounting for the onslaught of fake comments submitted in this proceeding.  And a man was arrested and charged for threatening to kill Congressman John Katko if he failed to support net neutrality. Twenty-eight year old Patrick D. Angelo left a voicemail for Katko saying "Listen Mr. Katko, if you support net neutrality, I will support you. But if you don't support net neutrality, I will find you and your family and I will kill…you…all. Do you understand?" This is according to the U.S. Attorney's office. So the net neutrality debate has assumed a very unhealthy tone. Perhaps the FCC should wait on overturning the rules. That would certainly seem to be the most democratic way to go. Incidentally, some 200 businesses, including Airbnb, Tumblr, Pinterest and others sent a letter to Ajit Pai on Cyber Monday urging him to hold on overturning the rules.  Supreme Court hears location-tracking case The Supreme Court heard oral arguments last week in Carpenter v. U.S. --that's the cellphone location data tracking case. The defendant was suspected of serving as a lookout during several armed robberies in Detroit. Authorities used Carpenter's cell phone location data to determine his proximity to the robberies. They found that Carpenter was indeed nearby to where the crimes took place.  He was convicted and is now serving a 116-year sentence. But the justices seemed to lean in support of Carpenter's argument that his 4th Amendment rights were violated--despite the third party doctrine which holds that individuals give up their right to privacy in information disclosed to third parties. Robert Barnes covers this in the Washington Post.  Pushback against tattoo recognition technology The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is suing the U.S. government -- specifically the Department of Commerce and the Department of Homeland Security--for its work on developing a tattoo recognition technology. EFF sees the effort as an intrusion into civil liberties.
