  • Afghanistan-Pakistan Media Affairs Challenges and Opportunities
    Afghanistan-Pakistan Media Affairs Challenges and Opportunities Rahimullah Yusufzai December 2018 The media in Afghanistan and Pakistan has never been so large, vibrant and independent. It has attained unimaginable power and become a key player in politics and other walks of life. Media is the fourth pillar of the state and democracy in both Afghanistan and Pakistan in the true sense of the word. Earlier, it was the mainstream print and electronic media that was dominant and had assumed unprecedented importance. Now the social media is making an impact in these two neighbouring countries and often taking the lead in breaking news even if it has lesser credi- bility than the mainstream media. The media has tended to be overly patriotic and at times even aggres- sive in context of the perceived national interests of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The poor relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan affect the work of journalists. There is generally lack of awareness about each other due to the virtual absence of Afghan media in Pakistan and Pakistani media in Afghanistan.

  • A Framework for Teaching with Twitter and Storify
    Teaching with Twitter and Storify 487 A Framework for Teaching with Twitter and Storify Rosemary M. Caron, PhD, MPH Abstract The education of baccalaureate health administration students needs to be adaptable in this age of healthcare reformation and the use of social media can be an educational tool that not only presents a familiar communication environment, but also encourages the learner to adapt this tool to their disci- pline of study. To examine the utility and effectiveness of implementing social media to teach basic epidemiology concepts, the use of Twitter and Storify in the laboratory component of the course is presented. The purpose of this article is to describe three learning exercises that are part of the application course modules developed to increase student knowledge and skills with respect to how epidemiological principles are evident in the community in which the student lives. Specifically, the exercises were designed to: (1) demonstrate how social media is useful to research discipline-specific content; (2) curate relative course material from numerous social media sources; and (3) communicate to one’s broader community the significance of specific epidemiologic-oriented issues that affect our everyday life. At the conclusion of the labs, students reported that they had not previously considered the use of social technology for learning; were likely to include Twitter and Storify as part of their online research tools for future assignments; and were more apt to communicate with peers and the instructor via these mediums. The benefits of this applied learning approach for students and the faculty instructor are discussed. Please address correspondence to: Rosemary M.

The demonstrators demanded the resignation of an elected Premier Sharif and fresh elections in the country. Imran Khan, chairman of Tehreek-i-Insaf,1 ques- tioned the legitimacy of the government by claiming that the 2013 general elections were rigged.2 Khan’s critics opined that he was being manipulated by the Military to try to bring down Premier Sharif or at least check him by questioning his political legitimacy. The accusation of rigging in general elections not only dented the legitimacy of elected government of Premier Nawaz Sharif, but also increased the role of the military in the Pakistani polity.

An emerging trend in social media is for users to create and publish “stories”, or curated lists of web resources with the purpose of creating a particular narrative of interest to the user. While some stories on the web are automatically generated, such as Facebook’s “Year in Review”, one of the most popular storytelling services is “Storify”, which provides users with curation tools to select, arrange, and annotate stories with content from social media and the web at large.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in Pakistan arrests an average of six people a day in the Islamabad area for document fraud (The Sydney Morning Herald 13 July 2010).
