It comes from the Decretum de instrumentis communicationis socialis INTER th MIRIFICA, which was solemnly promulgated by Pope Paul VI on December 4 , 1963. In a short introduction to Inter Mirifica in a collection of basic documents concerning social communication which was edited by Franz-Josef Eilers, he draws his readers’ attention to the importance of this term: With the council decree a new terminology was created in the expression of “Social Communications”. The preparatory commission felt that expressions like ‘diffusion techniques’ or ‘audio-visual media’ or even ‘mass media’ or ‘mass communications’ would not express sufficiently the concerns, needs an perspectives of the church. Communication should not be restricted to mere technical means of transmission but rather should be concerned about communication as a process between and among humans. Thus the expression proposed was: the ‘instruments of social communication’ which would point to the communication of and in human society. This definitely goes beyond the mass media as press, radio, TV or film. (Church and Social Communication, Manila 1993, 57 f.) What Eilers states here about the special dimension of meaning of the term Communicatio Socialis has become part of his life’s program in his pastoral, missionary and scholarly work. According to the Council’s wishes, Franz-Josef Eilers understood Social Communication as a special challenge for both theology and ministry within the Church in our time. Already in 1968, a scholarly quarterly with the title Communicatio Socialis, which still exists today and is the only international quarterly for communication in Church and society in the German-speaking countries, was published. Its founder and leading editor for decades is Franz-Josef Eilers. Looking through the first volumes of the magazine, one finds highly regarded scholars as contributors; mainly from the field of media science, but also theologians and pastoral ministry leaders, as well as others from various fields of science and profession. The second contribution for the initial issue with the theme “Church and Communication” was written by Franz Cardinal König of Vienna, who was an important Council Father and one of the most influential leaders within the Church in the second half of the th 20 century. The first article in the first issue was written by Franz-Josef Eilers himself and bears the title “Publizistik als Aufgabe” [The Science of the Media as a Task]. Eilers reminds his readers of the Second Vatican Council, then just finished, and of the task. And the task articulated in the council’s decree Inter Mirifica is that it had become indispensable for the church to deal with the modern world which was considerably influenced by social communication in a constructive way. Eilers asks his readers to acknowledge the variety of modern media as a cultural merit of 2 humanity since, according to Christian belief, man is called upon by God to complete His creation by his actions. Thus, in Eilers’ convictions, the Church is confronted with the challenge to make the message of God’s realm shine also through its use of the media. In a remarkable manner, Eilers in his contributions for Communicatio Socialis strongly directs his readers’ interest to the ecclesiastical needs especially of the comparably young Churches outside Europe. Already in the first numbers he writes about questions of social communication concerning Africa, India, or Papua-New- Guinea, to give just a few examples. By setting main emphasis in this field, he adopts a perspective to which he has remained faithful for all of his life. It corresponds to his vocation as a missionary of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD) and is already visible in his Diploma thesis with the title Christliche Publizistik in Afrika. Eine erste Erkundung [Christian Media Science in Africa. A First Investigation] (Steyl 1964), which he wrote in Missionary Sciences at the Theological Seminary of the University of Munster, and then, of course, in his dissertation, which was published in 1967 with the title Zur Publizistik schriftloser Kulturen in Nordost-Neuguinea [The Media Science of Cultures Without Writing in the Northeast of New-Guinea]. In addition, as one of the founding fathers, Eilers has remarkably contributed to the development of the well-known Catholic Media Council (CAMECO), which is singular within the Church. He also served as the Executive Director for several years. In many of the Church’s global social communiation projects presented to CAMECO, Eilers was able to gain insight into the practical media work of the Church all over the world. This experience enabled him to offer sound advice to media projects presented to CAMECO for funding. As a consulter to the Pontifical Council of Social Communications over many years, Eilers knows the challenges of social communication for the theology and ministry of the whole Church from the highest level. Eilers leadership as the Director of the Office for Social Communication of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (OSC/FABC) and as an organizer of many important conferences for the Asian Churches until today, has demonstrated his untiring commitment for the needs of the Churches in Asian Countries. He has dedicated his entire being to revealing an open, caring and vulnerable compassionate heart for the Church of Asia. Finally, Eilers’ many scholarly essays and books, which have been translated into many languages, demonstrate that he is a specialist in the wide field of social communications. He continues to be able to critically read the signs of the times in the unfolding contemporary social communications mileu. His collection Church and Social Communication. Basic Documents, which contains important doctrinal texts about social communication, is meant as a study guide and has been edited several times and has been translated into several languages, has made well scattered texts well available, and therefore, they are read. His textbook Communicating in Community: An Introduction to Social Communication (Manila 1994) has several editions. In this text Eilers reveals a pastoral-theological attempt to write a textbook on social communications to enable students to systematically understand social communications in light of the intention of the Second Vatican Council and other related texts that followed on social communication. Communicating Between Cultures (Manila 1992) emerged from a textbook Eilers 3 prepared for the Gregorian University in Rome. The book impressively reveals how Eilers, writing from a strong Catholic perspective, was able to unfold an understanding of intercultural communication. His approach respected not only the single cultures and those aspects of social communication that would be lost if communication was only seen as mass communication, or media perceived as only mass media. Eilers insights into intercultural communication remain justified and dignified. Thus, a common thread can be found in Franz-Josef Eilers’ publications concerning Social Communication: In every single consideration about social communication he tries to make clear that communication always is a process

Kort gezegd ging de vraag over het trekken van lessen. Lessen uit de wijze waarop bestuur, beleid en uitvoering – de governance - in de luchtvaart geregeld waren de afgelopen jaren. Lessen uit de wijze waarop mensen en hun organisaties betrokken waren – de participatie. Die vraag heeft een zoektocht van de commissie in gang gezet.

  • Mitgemacht, Weitergemacht, Zugemacht Zum NS-Erbe Der Kommunikationswissenschaft in Deutschland
    Horst Pöttker, Dortmund Mitgemacht, weitergemacht, zugemacht Zum NS-Erbe der Kommunikationswissenschaft in Deutschland Mediziner, Juristen, ja sogar Historiker und Journalisten (4; 5; 6;) bemühen sich mittlerweile, ihrer NS-Vergangenheit offen ins Auge zu blicken. Ausgerechnet in der deutschen Kommunikationswissenschaft, dem Prinzip Öffentlichkeit eigent- lich besonders verpflichtet, ist davon bisher wenig zu spüren. Über dunkle Fle- cken redet man hier immer noch am liebsten hinter vorgehaltener Hand - das allerdings ausgiebig. Der folgende Beitrag konzentriert sich auf wenige weder irrelevante noch untypische Beispiele. Vor 1933 begrenzte Vielfalt In ihrer Gründungsphase hatten in der deutschen Zeitungswissenschaft sowohl konservative wie liberale und sogar linke Positionen Platz. In Leipzig, wo der sozialdemokratisch orientierte Nationalökonom Karl Bücher 1916 das erste In- stitut für Zeitungskunde an einer deutschen Universität gegründet hatte, wurde zehn Jahre später der Liberale Erich Everth als erster Ordinarius für dieses Fach berufen, während sich kurz darauf in Berlin mit der Berufung Emil Dovifats auf den neuen Lehrstuhl für Zeitungswissenschaft und gleichzeitig zum Direktor des Deutschen Instituts für Zeitungskunde eine katholisch-konservative Ten- denz durchsetzte (2, 105-141). Wer als Zeitungswissenschaftler jüdischer Her- kunft war, hatte freilich schon in den 20er Jahren wenig Chancen. Otto Groth hat auch vor 1933 keinen Lehrstuhl bekommen, obwohl seine vierbändige Mo- nographie "Die Zeitung" die fachliche Leistung jener Epoche war. Emil Dovifat: Die Zeitung als Massenführungsmittel Für die Zeitung sind die Führungsgrundsätze der Masse von Wichtigkeit, denn sie ist ein Massenführungsmittel, dem freilich die Aufgabe gestellt ist, den neu- en Bindungen Beistand zu leisten, die aus der Masse Volk zu machen berufen sind.

  • Great Expectations: the Experienced Credibility of Cabinet Ministers and Parliamentary Party Leaders
    Great expectations: the experienced credibility of cabinet ministers and parliamentary party leaders Sabine van Zuydam [email protected] Concept, please do not cite Paper prepared for the NIG PUPOL international conference 2016, session 4: Session 4: The Political Life and Death of Leaders 1 In the relationship between politics and citizens, political leaders are essential. While parties and issues have not become superfluous, leaders are required to win support of citizens for their views and plans, both in elections and while in office. To be successful in this respect, credibility is a crucial asset. Research has shown that credible leaders are thought to be competent, trustworthy, and caring. What requires more attention is the meaning of competent, caring, and trustworthy leaders in the eyes of citizens. In this paper the question is needed to be credible according to citizens in different leadership positions, e.g. cabinet ministers and parliamentary party leaders. To answer this question, it was studied what is expected of leaders in terms of competence, trustworthiness, and caring by conducting an extensive qualitative analysis of Tweets and newspaper articles between August 2013 and June 2014. In this analysis, four Dutch leadership cases with a contrasting credibility rating were compared: two cabinet ministers (Frans Timmermans and Mark Rutte) and two parliamentary party leaders (Emile Roemer and Diederik Samsom). This analysis demonstrates that competence relates to knowledgeability, decisiveness and bravery, performance, and political strategy. Trustworthiness includes keeping promises, consistency in views and actions, honesty and sincerity, and dependability. Caring means having an eye for citizens’ needs and concern, morality, constructive attitude, and no self-enrichment.

  • You Cannot Act King: Performed Credibility of Political Leaders in Times of Elections
    YOU CANNOT ACT KING: PERFORMED CREDIBILITY OF POLITICAL LEADERS IN TIMES OF ELECTIONS S. van Zuydam Tilburg University, the Netherlands [email protected] T. Metze Tilburg University, the Netherlands Concept, please do not cite without permission of the authors Paper prepared for the PSA Annual International Conference, panel: Questioning leaders’ authority Abstract Source credibility is essential for political leaders in a mediatized world in order to get their messages and actions accepted. Citizens attribute credibility to political leaders time and again and due to adjustments in their evaluation credibility fluctuates. This ascription of credibility takes place in interactions between political leaders and their audiences. The source credibility approach to credibility suggests that leaders are credible if audiences consider them competent, trustworthy, and caring. However, in the source approach to credibility the interplay between leaders and audiences remains underexplored: why do audiences consider leaders competent, trustworthy, and caring at some moments and not at others? The concept of performed credibility enables an understanding of meteoric shifts in source credibility attributed to political leaders. Performed credibility is the enactment and framing of political leadership in these interactions. Audiences interpret and reinterpret the believability of leaders on the basis of their (media) appearances. In these appearances leaders enact and audiences frame the leaders’ credibility. In this paper we explore how leaders and audiences codetermined the credibility of the Dutch social democratic leader Job Cohen. His source credibility declined dramatically in the 2010 parliamentary election campaign. Our analysis demonstrates that shifts in the audiences’ framing of Cohen’s appearances contributed to this drop.

    The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jonah D. Levy, Chair Professor Jason Wittenberg Professor Jacob Citrin Professor Katerina Linos Spring 2015 The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe Copyright 2015 by Kimberly Ann Twist Abstract The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Jonah D. Levy, Chair As long as far-right parties { known chiefly for their vehement opposition to immigration { have competed in contemporary Western Europe, scholars and observers have been concerned about these parties' implications for liberal democracy. Many originally believed that far- right parties would fade away due to a lack of voter support and their isolation by mainstream parties. Since 1994, however, far-right parties have been included in 17 governing coalitions across Western Europe. What explains the switch from exclusion to inclusion in Europe, and what drives mainstream-right parties' decisions to include or exclude the far right from coalitions today? My argument is centered on the cost of far-right exclusion, in terms of both office and policy goals for the mainstream right. I argue, first, that the major mainstream parties of Western Europe initially maintained the exclusion of the far right because it was relatively costless: They could govern and achieve policy goals without the far right.
