Die wissenschaftliche Analyse der Mediengesellschaft ist häufig normativ geprägt. Dementsprechend vorhersehbar und unbefriedigend sind ihre Befunde und Deutungen. Die Studie von Christoph Jacke sucht nach Auswegen aus dieser Sackgasse, indem sie innovative Lesarten der drei prominenten Theoriestränge Kritische Theorie (Frankfurter Schule und Nachfolger), Cultural Studies und soziokultureller Konstruktivismus präsentiert. Aus ihnen wird ein eigenes Medienkultur-Beobachtungsraster mit den Ebenen Main und Sub herauspräpariert. Die Erträge dieser neuen Methode zeigen sich in der abschließenden Fokussierung der zentralen Akteure in der Medien- und Popkultur, der Stars

Fernsehen, Computer, Internet: Die so genannten neuen Medien bestimmen längst unseren Alltag, und es scheint aussichtslos, ihren Siegeszug bremsen zu wollen. Der prominente Pädagoge und Publizist, der hier eine erweiterte Neufassung seiner Streitschrift von 1984 vorlegt ("Das allmähliche Verschwinden der Wirklichkeit", BA 12/84), formuliert denn auch ein anderes Ziel: "Der technischen Zivilisation gewachsen bleiben". Dies hätte zugleich der Auftrag einer humanen Pädagogik zu sein (mit dem Tiel einer Hentig'schen Programmschrift: "Die Menschen stärken, die Sachen klären", ID 6/86), statt sich fraglos den Gegebenheiten anzupassen und Konditionierung für die Apparatewelt als "Medienpädagogik" auszugeben. Ein Appell zur Besinnung also (im Anhang u.a. ein Abdruck der ZEIT-Kontroverse zwischen Jürgen Rüttgers und Hentig über die Initiative "Schulen ans Netz", 1997), gerichtet an die "allgemeine Öffentlichkeit" und somit wie N. Postman: "Das Verschwinden der Kindheit" (BA 10/83), J. Weizenbaum: "Kurs auf den Eisberg ..." (BA 3/85) oder C. Stoll: "LogOut" (BA 5/01) zur Diskussion zu stellen. (2 S) (Erich H. Wurster)

Das Handeln von Fotojournalisten in Konflikten stellt einen bisher wenig beachteten Teilbereich des Auslands- und Konfliktjournalismus dar. Felix Koltermann wirft erstmals in Form einer vergleichenden Kommunikatorstudie einen differenzierten Blick auf journalistisches Handeln internationaler, israelischer und palästinensischer Fotoreporter in Israel/Palästina. Ausgehend von 40 qualitativen Interviews arbeitet er Unterschiede in den Routinen und Praktiken der Nachrichten- und Dokumentarfotografie heraus und rekonstruiert den Einfluss des israelischen Besatzungsregimes auf die Akteure und Strukturen des internationalen Fotojournalismus in der Region

La prensa francesa siguió con gran atención el proceso electoral español de noviembre de 2011, antes, durante y después de la celebración de los comicios. La meta del presente artículo es analizar cuál fue la visión, o, mejor dicho, cuáles fueron las diversas visiones que los medios de comunicación galos ofrecieron de la campaña electoral, de la victoria de Rajoy, y sobre todo de la crisis económica y social española, prestando atención igualmente a la influencia que tuvo en dichas percepciones la cercanía cronológica de la elección presidencial francesa. ; French press followed with great attention the electoral Spanish process in November, 2011, before, during and after the celebration of the elections.

Author outlines four periods of institutional evolution of state policy of memory 1992-2015.

This paper argues that since at least the mid 1980s, there has been an observable negative attitude among the people of Burma against the Chinese. Such sentiment is not just transient public opinion, but an attitude. The author measures it by studying contemporary cultural and media works as found in legally published expressions, so as to exclude any material rejected by the regime's censors. The causes of such sentiment are various: massive Chinese migration and purchases of real estate (especially in Upper Burma), Chinese money that is inflating the cost of everything, and cultural "intrusion." The sentiment extends to the military, as well: the article examines a dozen memoirs of former military generals and finds that Burma's generals do not trust the Chinese, a legacy of China's interference in Burma's civil war until the 1980s. The public outcry over the Myitsone dam issue, however, was the most significant expression of such sentiment since 1969, when anti-Chinese riots broke out in Burma. The relaxation of media restrictions under the new government has allowed this expression to gather steam and spread throughout the country, especially in private weekly journals that are becoming more outspoken and daring in pushing the boundaries of the state's restrictions.

Received 10.03.2020. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the information on current social protests, which was published in the leading Latin American news websites and actively discussed on the social media platforms to identify the main causes of public discontent and the main problems discussed by Latin Americans. The first part of the paper provides an overview of the materials on the social movements of the fall of 2019, which were published in the news websites, which are the most popular in Latin America, and have the greatest influence, and the biggest Internet traffic volume. The second part is devoted to an overview of hashtags on the topic of mass protests that have gained huge popularity among Latin American users on the biggest social media platforms. A review of informational articles on the autumn social movements, which were published in the leading Latin American newspapers, revealed the main points of view on the factors and causes of these events, and the main problems discussed by Latin Americans. An appeal to various sources, both the countries in which the protests took place and the states that have passed such a crisis, will help readers to see the current socio-political situation in a new way.

Introduction. In the age of digitalization of the public space of communication, social media acts as a new channel of interaction between power and society. On the one hand, electronic forms of public communication formulate a political course and influence the political behavior of the electorate, and on the other hand, replace mass communication by a network. Twitter's technological capabilities, being an electronic form of public communication, are addressed by representatives of the political elite in the USA.

Methods and materials. The work uses network and communicative approaches, methods of situational analysis. The author addresses statistics and Twitter accounts of American politicians.

Analysis. As a result of the computerization and the global spread of the Internet, social media has become an integral part of modern politics. The social network Twitter acts as a new communicative practice in the system of public administration of the USA. For President D. Trump, Twitter is an effective source and platform for presenting his position on domestic and foreign policy issues.

Results. Twitter, being an interactive Internet platform based on the principles of network communication, is part of Twitter diplomacy implemented in the United States. The politicization of Twitter in the United States is targeted and ensures the interaction of the highest authorities and the electorate. Twitters functionality is used in modern American politics to shape the image characteristics of individual politicians and the country as a whole.

Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Faktoren das Ausmaß von Inzivilität und argumentativer Qualität in Nutzerkommentaren beeinflussen. Kognitives und affektives Involvement werden als zentrale Triebfedern für das Verfassen von Nutzerkommentaren identifiziert. Wir vermuten, dass realweltliche, medien- und diskussionsimmanenten sowie situative Faktoren das Ausmaß kognitiven sowie affektiven Involvements und darüber vermittelt auch das Kommentierverhalten beeinflussen. In einer Inhaltsanalyse von Nutzerkommentaren unter Onlineartikeln zu Tarifkonflikten auf bild.de und spiegel.de aus dem Jahr 2015 untersuchen wir den relativen Einfluss der verschiedenen Faktoren auf das Ausmaß an Inzivilität und argumentativer Qualität in Onlinediskussionen. Insbesondere die situativen Faktoren entscheiden darüber, inwieweit Nutzende inzivil oder diskursiv kommentiert. Allerdings schließen sich Inzivilität und argumentative Qualität keineswegs aus.

During the 2016 US presidential election campaign, interest in fake news surged among political elites, media, and mass publics. This raises the question of how general awareness of fake news affects information processing by citizens. We address this deficit by theorizing about the consequences of awareness of fake news for receptivity to misinformation. We hypothesize that individuals induced to be more aware of fake news will be less likely to update beliefs and attitudes in response to information from news media. We test this theoretical expectation in a pre-registered experiment in cooperation with a national news magazine in Denmark. Results suggest that contrary to the hypothesis, primed and unprimed respondents react similarly. In both groups, misinformation affects approval of a fictional politician in the predicted direction, and a subsequent correction fully cancels out the initial effect of misinformation. The results suggest that the risk of fake news fatigue is limited and media outlets can discuss the phenomenon of fake news in general as well as present concrete factual corrections with little risk of engendering additional media skepticism.

This descriptive analysis is conducted to empirically investigate the agenda-setting role of corporate news media in Pakistan. Five cardinal private television news channels are selected as the sample of the study and responses are documented during 9 p.m. news bulletin being broadcasted on them. Agenda-setting theory of mass media provides a conceptual background to this research project. The cross-tabulation method is used to manipulate the obtained frequencies of responses. Thus, it is found that national political news reports are being given analogously more exposure than other national and international concerns. Similarly, reports addressing the common man, encouraging public participation and welfare are not being given enough exposure. Therefore, it is suggested that corporate news media should consider the wellbeing of the common man and public welfare should be the first priority of media reporting which is the main ethical prerequisite of journalism practices.

Conectados en imprenta: Selecciones del Reader's Digest, relaciones culturales de Estados Unidos y la construcción de una clase media globalConectados em publicação: Seleções do Reader's Digest, relações culturais dos Estados Unidos e a construção de uma classe média globalThis article traces the early history of the Reader's Digest's global editions, and in particular its Latin American magazine, Selecciones del Reader's Digest, viewing this popularly consumed text as a window into transnational government and media initiatives to forge a "global middle class." It contends that the magazine, rather than merely idealizing life in the United States, asserted that readers could use media to join an imagined community of likeminded "professionals" and "free peoples" around the world. Using documents from the U.S. National Archives, the magazine, as well as a variety of other press sources, the paper untangles the connections between the first truly-global U.S. consumer magazine and the U.S. geopolitical project. First, it describes the relationship between the launch of Reader's Digest's Latin American edition and the U.S. cultural campaign's wartime initiatives; second, it examines the magazine's content, illustrating how the notion of a global connection was depicted in its pages. Taken together, these sections illustrate how the transnational mass media not only normalized the notion of a righteous middle class but also narrated that group's globality, seeking to implicate the reader in its scope.To reference this paper / para citar este artículo / para citar este artigoUbelaker Andrade, L.

En conjunto, estas secciones muestran cómo los medios de comunicación transnacionales no solo normalizaron la noción de una clase media justa, sino que también narraron la globalidad de ese grupo, buscando involucrar al lector en el alcance del mismo.To reference this paper / para citar este artículo / para citar este artigoUbelaker Andrade, L.
