  • Der Spiegel-Confirmation from the East by Brian Crozier 1993
    "Der Spiegel: Confirmation from the East" Counter Culture Contribution by Brian Crozier I WELCOME Sir James Goldsmith's offer of hospitality in the pages of COUNTER CULTURE to bring fresh news on a struggle in which we were both involved. On the attacking side was Herr Rudolf Augstein, publisher of the German news magazine, Der Spiegel; on the defending side was Jimmy. My own involvement was twofold: I provided him with the explosive information that drew fire from Augstein, and I co-ordinated a truly massive international research campaign that caused Augstein, nearly four years later, to call off his libel suit against Jimmy.1 History moves fast these days. The collapse of communism in the ex-Soviet Union and eastern Europe has loosened tongues and opened archives. The struggle I mentioned took place between January 1981 and October 1984. The past two years have brought revelations and confessions that further vindicate the line we took a decade ago. What did Jimmy Goldsmith say, in 1981, that roused Augstein to take legal action? The Media Committee of the House of Commons had invited Sir James to deliver an address on 'Subversion in the Media'. Having read a reference to the 'Spiegel affair' of 1962 in an interview with the late Franz Josef Strauss in his own news magazine of that period, NOW!, he wanted to know more. I was the interviewer. Today's readers, even in Germany, may not automatically react to the sight or sound of the' Spiegel affair', but in its day, this was a major political scandal, which seriously damaged the political career of Franz Josef Strauss, the then West German Defence Minister.

  • SERBIA Jovanka Matić and Dubravka Valić Nedeljković
    SERBIA Jovanka Matić and Dubravka Valić Nedeljković porocilo.indb 327 20.5.2014 9:04:47 INTRODUCTION Serbia’s transition to democratic governance started in 2000. Reconstruction of the media system – aimed at developing free, independent and pluralistic media – was an important part of reform processes. After 13 years of democratisation eff orts, no one can argue that a new media system has not been put in place. Th e system is pluralistic; the media are predominantly in private ownership; the legal framework includes European democratic standards; broadcasting is regulated by bodies separated from executive state power; public service broadcasters have evolved from the former state-run radio and tel- evision company which acted as a pillar of the fallen autocratic regime. However, there is no public consensus that the changes have produced more positive than negative results. Th e media sector is liberalized but this has not brought a better-in- formed public. Media freedom has been expanded but it has endangered the concept of socially responsible journalism. Among about 1200 media outlets many have neither po- litical nor economic independence. Th e only industrial segments on the rise are the enter- tainment press and cable channels featuring reality shows and entertainment. Th e level of professionalism and reputation of journalists have been drastically reduced. Th e current media system suff ers from many weaknesses. Media legislation is incom- plete, inconsistent and outdated. Privatisation of state-owned media, stipulated as mandato- ry 10 years ago, is uncompleted. Th e media market is very poorly regulated resulting in dras- tically unequal conditions for state-owned and private media.

    Saint Joseph’s University, Summer 2011 Smiles, Support and … Snowflakes? Historic Celebration Marks Alumna Finds Success, RAs, Hawk Hosts and Red Shirts Record-Breaking Capital Campaign Persistence to Earn Degree Pays Off F ROMTHE I NTERIM P RESIDENT As alumni and friends of Saint Joseph’s University, you know that Hawk Hill is a unique and wonderful place. From my own experience — as a student, former chair of the Board of Trustees, and most recently, as senior vice president — this is something I share with you. While we continue our search for Saint Joseph’s next president, with the guidance of both our Jesuit community and the Board of Trustees, I am honored to serve the University as interim president. Thanks to the vision and leadership of Nicholas S. Rashford, S.J., our 25th president, and Timothy R. Lannon, S.J., our 26th, Saint Joseph’s has been on a trajectory of growth and excellence that has taken us to places we never dreamed were possible. Rightfully so, we are proud of all of our achievements, but we are also mindful that we are charged with moving Saint Joseph’s into the future surely and confidently. The University’s mission — which is steeped in our Catholic, Jesuit heritage — is too important to be approached in any other way. In an address to the leaders of American Jesuit colleges and universities when he was Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J., affirmed: You are who your students become. Saint Joseph’s identity, then, is ultimately tied to the people our students become in the world, and the broad outline of their character reveals them to be leaders with high moral standards, whose ethics are grounded in and informed by a faith that serves justice.

  • The Frequency of Anglicisms in the German News
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository of the University of Rijeka UNIVERSITY OF RIJEKA FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Doris Mesaroš THE FREQUENCY OF ANGLICISMS IN THE GERMAN NEWS MAGAZINE DER SPIEGEL Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the B.A. in English Language and Literature and German language and Literature at the University of Rijeka Supervisor: Dr. Branka Drljača Margić September 2015 ABSTRACT This study examined the frequency of anglicisms in the German news magazine Der Spiegel. The aim of the research, which was based on 25 articles from the year 2014/2015, was to determine in which category of news genre occurs the highest number of anglicisms and which are the most frequent types and word classes of anglicisms. At first a theoretical background, including the definition, the history, types, integration and usage of anglicisms was covered, followed by the research on the corpus of Spiegel online. In comparison with previous studies it could be seen how the number of anglicisms in Der Spiegel has changed through years and if some similar patterns could be noticed. The results of this study confirmed the conclusions of previous studies that the frequency of anglicisms showed a constant increase. The number of anglicisms per page, as well as their variety were the highest in this study, which indicated that new English terms constantly appear, especially in the computer technology, which was also the news genre with the highest number of anglicisms in this study.

Some of the major findings werethat overall, about 77 percent of time is devoted to program contentand 23 percent to announcements of various kinds; thatcommercial announcements (CA's)--product and program promotion--accountfor almost 19 percent of total time; that there were morecommercials within programs than between programs; that CA's were evenlydivided among four major categories--toys, cereals, candy, and other foods;that CA's appear to have both sexual and racial biases;and that little product information is given in the CA's. Otherfindings were that noncommercial announcements were primarilyeither youth-oriented or for medical or environmental causes,and some of these did not appear to be appropriate for children.Also, when individual cartoons and other program segments were studiedin detail for subject matter, it was found that 64 percentof the dramatic programming was in some sense violent, while 67 percentof nondramatic segments dealt with science and technology, race and nationality,literature and fine arts, and nature..
