  • Portugal and Angola – the Politics of a Troubled Media Relationship Luís
    Portugal and Angola – the politics of a troubled media relationship Luís António Santos Communication and Society Research Centre, University of Minho [email protected] Keywords: Angola, Lusophony, media policy, political communication, Portugal, regulation In his last text of 2016, published on Christmas day, the editor of Angola’s official newspaper, Jornal de Angola, wrote a ‘message of harmony’ where he chose to focus on diplomatic relations with the former colonial power. José Ribeiro’s reading was clear: “Forty one years after independence the Portuguese elites still treat us impolitely as if we were their slaves” (Ribeiro, 2016). This posture would be reinforced precisely a week later in the first editorial of 2017: “Angola will not cease to be an independent country (…) no longer willing to accept mouldy neo-colonial impositions from abroad” (Ribeiro, 2017). Rather than fortuitous episodes these bellicose statements are a sign that a post- colonial reframing of the relationship between the two countries is – despite the relevance of economic ties1 – still far from attained but also a sign of how the media have become strategically relevant in this on-going political process. Following the definitive end of the civil war in in Angola in 2002 (with the death of Jonas Savimbi, and UNITA’s ensuing transformation into a political party) a small elite began to accumulate wealth in haste. Much in a manner close to that described by Bayart – through a ‘politics of the belly’ oriented by ‘strategies of offering’ (1993, pp. 228-259) – a restrict group of people, formed by members of the State, ruling party and military apparatuses started to take control of oil and precious minerals extraction income and progressively extended its interests into other areas (Costa, 2014, p.

  • A Journalistic Series About Homosexuality in Sports
    WHO’S ON THE PLAYING FIELD?: A JOURNALISTIC SERIES ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY IN SPORTS Brian Conlin A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication Chapel Hill 2010 Committee: Adviser: Walter Spearman Professor Jan Yopp Reader: John Thomas Kerr Jr. Distinguished Professor Richard Cole Reader: Professor Karla A. Henderson © 2010 Brian Conlin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BRIAN CONLIN: Who’s on the Playing Field?: A Journalistic Series about Homosexuality in Sports (Under the direction of Jan Yopp, Dr. Richard Cole and Dr. Karla Henderson) The number of openly gay and lesbian athletes has boomed since the 1980s. The Gay Games is one example of this. The first Gay Games in 1982 had 1,300 participants. By 1994, the Gay Games drew 11,000 participants. In three articles, this master’s thesis examines various aspects of gays and lesbians in sports. The first article covers the Gay Games. It includes information about its supporters and protestors, a brief history and a look ahead to the upcoming Gay Games and beyond. The second article profiles a rugby player on the Carolina Kodiaks, one of two gay rugby teams in North Carolina. The third article examines how journalists, especially those in sports departments, cover LGBT issues. The thesis aims to explore the issues of the gay and lesbian community as they pursue sports and to show that LGBT issues in sport will become more important as society becomes more tolerant.

  • De Geschiedenis Van Tabaksontmoediging in Nederland
    De geschiedenis van tabaksontmoediging in Nederland Marc Willemsen 1948 2017 Alliantie Nederland Rookvrij! Inleiding Meer dan een halve eeuw tabaksontmoediging De strijd tegen het roken is er een van lange adem. Er zaten meer dan 30 jaar tussen het eerste rapport van de Gezondheidsraad over de gevaren van het roken (1957) en het moment dat parlement en regering de Tabakswet aannamen (1988). Die wet was een compromis tussen economie, ideologie en volksgezondheid, waarbij gezondheid aan het kortste eind trok. Pas in 2002 werd de Tabakswet aangepast en kwam ze volledig in dienst te staan van het beschermen van de volksgezondheid. Dit was de grote verdienste van Minister Els Borst, die daarbij de confrontatie met de tabaksindustrie niet had geschuwd. De laatste jaren lijkt het tabaksontmoedigingsbeleid in een maatschappelijke stroomversnelling gekomen, mede door het idee van een Rookvrije Generatie, een initiatief van KWF Kankerbestrijding, de Hartstichting en het Longfonds. Dit chronologische overzicht plaatst alle gebeurtenissen die een rol hebben gespeeld bij het Nederlandse tabaksontmoedigings­ beleid in een historische en internationale context. De belang­ rijkste acties vanuit de overheid worden geplaatst naast die van maatschappelijke organisaties en van de tabaksindustrie. Doordat ook de belangrijkste mijlpalen in het buitenland zijn opgenomen, kan de lezer zélf ontdekken hoe gebeurtenissen in binnen­ en buitenland zich tot elkaar verhouden. Het uitgebreide noten apparaat biedt mogelijkheden tot verdere exploratie. Colofon Veel plezier op deze ontdekkingsreis!
