Die europäische Medienlandschaft ist in den letzten Jahren einem tief greifenden Wandel unterworfen gewesen: Die wirtschaftliche Krise vieler Zeitungen, die Internationalisierung der audiovisuellen Medien und nicht zuletzt die Internet-Revolution haben deutliche Spuren hinterlassen. Kein Land Europas blieb davon unberührt. Doch an Frankreich und Deutschland, zwei europäischen Kernländern mit jeweils historisch gewachsenen und ökonomisch bedeutenden Medienlandschaften, lassen sich diese Veränderungen besonders deutlich aufzeigen. Der vorliegende Band versucht, aus der Sicht von deutschen und französischen Journalisten, Medienschaffenden und Wissenschaftlern in die aktuelle Situation einzuführen

The current debate over privacy presents some of the most complex policy-making challenges we have seen in some time. While data on consumers have long been used for marketing purposes, the Internet has substantially increased the flow of personal information. This has produced great benefits, but it also has raised concerns on the part of individuals about what information is being collected, how it is being used and who has access to it. These concerns, in turn, have led to calls for new government regulation. This study focuses on the market for personal information used for advertising and marketing purposes, which is the market affected by most of the regulatory and legislative proposals now under consideration. Unfortunately, there has been little careful analysis of these proposals and their likely consequences. This book attempts to fill this gap by addressing the following basic questions: Are there `failures' in the market for personal information? If market failures exist, how do they adversely affect consumers? Can such failures be remedied by government regulation? Would the benefits of government regulation exceed the costs? £/LIST£ The authors find that the commercial market for information appears to be working well and is responding to consumers' privacy concerns. They conclude that regulation imposed on a medium like the Internet that is changing so rapidly would have unpredictable and costly consequences. This study is a product of The Progress & Freedom Foundation's project on Regulating Personal Information: Balancing Benefits and Costs. The Progress & Freedom Foundation studies the impact of the digital revolution and its implications for public policy. It conducts research in fields such as electronic commerce, telecommunications and the impact of the Internet on government, society and economic growth. It also studies issues such as the need to reform government regulation, especially in technology-intensive fields such as medical innovation, energy and environmental regulation

The recent demolition of entire areas in the suburbs of Beijing and the ensuing wave of evictions of tens of thousands of rural migrants have served as harsh reminders of the subaltern condition of many of these people in China today. The previous issue of Made in China focussed on the ongoing debate on precariousness in contemporary China, shedding light on the complex changes affecting labour regimes and the increasingly diverse and fragmented labour landscapes across the country. In this essay, I will delve into a different but related issue: how rural migrant workers have been represented through a specific form of intervention—Chinese independent documentary films. The importance of looking at the ways various categories of rural migrants are represented, and how migrants themselves take part in their own self-representation—the so-called cultural politics of labour—hinges upon the assumption that both the study of the political economy and sociology of labour on the one hand, and the study of the cultural politics of labour on the other, are needed to apprehend the subject-making processes of migrant workers in today's China (Sun 2014).

This is a brief review of recent developments in funding culture in world cities. This review is based on findings of the World Cities Culture Finance Report (WCCF), published by BOP Consulting in 2017, which compared and contrasted the financing of culture in 16 global cities. Based on WCCF data, this review for JOCIS, first and foremost, defines city culture and its revenue streams, secondly, provides statistics and figures on the financing of culture, and thirdly, elaborates on how these findings can be used for further research into the economics of culture and urban sustainability. Funding for culture is unquestionably well-reasoned, but why does it matter how things are going in cities? Two-thirds of the world population will live in cities by 2030 (AP, 2016). Governments all over the globe face increasingly complex challenges brought by rapid urbanisation, ranging from environmental issues to social inequality. Culture is believed to be able to ease some of those tensions and creating striving urban centres as places of collaboration between various social groups. In fact, "many of the great policy issues of our age […] are [now] being led at a city, rather than national, level" (WCCF, 2017a). Before one moves on to question how to make city culture more robust in solving some of those tensions, it's important to understand what is a city culture, which kinds of funding are already present, and how do they differ depending on various geographies?

В статье рассматривается политический имидж как целенаправленно создаваемый окрашенный образ субъекта политической системы. Ключевым орудием создания имиджа признаются языковые средства, формирующие информационную составляющую, которая одновременно является ретранслятором и трансформатором содержательной стороны формируемого политического имиджа. ; The article examines a political image as a purposefully created image of a subject of a political system. Linguistic means, forming an informational component, are acknowledged as the key tool of the creation of an image, which is at the same time a retranslator and transformer of a content side of a forming political image.
