The Data Journalism Handbook 1.0 Beta

0

datajournalismhandbook.org –

Data journalism can help a journalist tell a complex story through engaging infographics. Or it can help explain how a story relates to an individual, as the BBC and the Financial Times now routinely do with their budget interactives (where you can find out how the budget affects you, rather than ‘Joe Public’). And it can open up the news gathering process itself, as The Guardian do so successfully in sharing data, context, and questions with their Datablog. Data can be the source of data more...

BESET BY ONLINE SURVEILLANCE AND CONTENT FILTERING, NETIZENS FIGHT ON

0

The last report, released in March 2011 at the climax of the Arab Spring, highlighted the fact that the Internet and social networks have been conclusively established as tools for protest, campaigning and circulating information, and as vehicles for freedom. In the months that followed, repressive regimes responded with tougher measures to what they regarded as unacceptable attempts to “destabilize” their authority. In 2011, netizens were at the heart of the political changes in the Arab world more...

The conference, which gave us the Windhoek Declaration1, emphasized the idea that press freedom should be understood as necessitating pluralism and independence for the mass media at large.

Policy guidelines for the development and promotion of open access

unesdoc.unesco.org –

UNESCO issued this publication to demystify the concept of Open Access to Scientific Information and Research (OA) and to provide concrete steps on putting relevant policies in place. Building capacities in Member States for Open Access to scientific information and research is a necessary but not sufficient condition for promotion of the concept. Creating an enabling policy environment for OA is therefore a priority.This publication will serve the needs of OA policy development at the more...

Media Freedom and Democracy

0

csae.ox.ac.uk –

Democracy and media freedom have been suggested as useful tools in the fight against political corruption, but so far their interplay in this fight has received scant attention. The authors present a game theoretic model which predicts that the corruption-reducing effect of democracy becomes stronger as media freedom increases. Using panel data covering the period 1980-2008 and 126 countries, the authors find empirical support for this prediction. The main results hold when the authors control more...

The effects of media globalization

+9

radford.edu –

Media globalization cannot be stopped. It is a result of new communications technology. It is also the prerequisite and facilitator for all other forms of globalization. Multi-national media is critical to global industries. Many Americans feel that we ought to enjoy the benefits of media globalization, such as global communication, rather than fearing and attempting to avoid the consequences - which ironically include hindrance of free speech.Despite the benefits, there are also very real more...

The curse of yellow journalism in Pakistan

0

ejc.net –

Beat reporters and desk editors at the leading English and Urdu newspapers in Pakistan are reluctant to publish news stories without receiving some sort of gift or reward. The monopoly corrupt journalists exercise over the profession constitutes a challenge for all media practitioners, because their influential positions make it hard for others to do their jobs properly. In order to receive attention on press clippings, NGOs and multinationals resort to bribing journalists. For the sake of news more...

How mainstream media outlets use Twitter

0

journalism.org –

Mainstream news organizations have made the social media tool Twitter a daily part of how they communicate with audiences. But how do those organizations actually use the technology: How often do they tweet? What kind of news do they distribute? To what extent is Twitter used as a new reporting tool or as a mechanism for gathering insights from followers?To answer some of these questions, the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism and George Washington University's School of more...
