    Durch die Umstellung des TV-Signals von Vodafon Kabel auf Privat Kabel ändert sich auch die Reihenfolge Ihrer Programme. Führen Sie deshalb bitte nach der Umstellung einen Sendersuchlauf durch, um alle Sender wie gewohnt empfangen zu können. Jedes TV-Geräte und jeder Receiver sind anders aufgebaut. Die wesentlichen Schritte sind aber auf allen Geräten ähnlich. Wenn Sie zum ersten Mal den Sendersuchlauf auf Ihrem Gerät starten, empfehlen wir die Bedienungsanleitung zur Hand zu nehmen. Die folgende Anleitung ist daher allgemein gehalten. Folgende Schritte sind immer zu beachten: Öffnen Sie über die Fernbedienung das Menü des Fernsehers oder des SAT-Receivers Bitte beachten Sie: Die Begriffe können sich von Gerät zu Gerät unterscheiden. Rufen Sie "Menü" oder "Home" auf Ihrem Fernseher oder Receiver auf Wählen Sie den Menüpunkt "Einstellungen" oder "Setup" Wählen Sie "Senderempfang" oder "Sendersuche". Die gängigsten Begriffe finden Sie hier. Wählen Sie „Automatischer Sendersuchlauf“ Wählen Sie nun die richtigen Einstellungen: Quelle: Kabel, Cable oder DVB-C Sendertyp: Digital, DTV Suchlaufmodus: Voll Suchbereich: Alle Sender Falls die gewünschten Sender nach dem Sendersuchlauf nicht erscheinen, auf die Werkseinstellungen zurücksetzen.

  • “The Voice of the Voiceless” News Production and Journalistic Practice at Al Jazeera English
    STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY Department of Social Anthropology “The Voice of the Voiceless” News production and journalistic practice at Al Jazeera English Emma Nyrén i Master’s thesis Spring 2014 Supervisor: Paula Uimonen Abstract This thesis explores how the cultural and social media environments surrounding the journalism of Al Jazeera English are shaped by and shape the channel’s news practices. Al Jazeera English has been described as a contra-flow news organization in the global media landscape and this thesis discusses the different reasons why the channel is described in this way by looking at its origins, aims, characteristics and ideals. Based on interviews with Al Jazeera English journalists, news observations and two field observations in London, I argue that Al Jazeera English brings cultural and social sensitivity to its news reports by engaging with multiple in-depth perspectives, using local reporters and integrating citizen generated material. The channel’s early adoption of online technologies and citizen journalism also contributes to a more democratic news direction and gives the channel a wider spectrum of opinions and perspectives to choose between. By applying a comparative analysis built on similar studies within anthropology of news journalism differences and similarities within the journalistic practices can be detected, comparing Al Jazeera English’s journalism with journalism at other places and news organizations. These comparisons and discussions enables new understandings for how news is produced and negotiated within the global media landscape, and this gives the global citizen an improved comprehension of why the news, which shapes our appreciation of the world, looks like it does.

  • Bosnia & Herzegovina
    Negative trends associated with the media sphere in previous years persist, such as the media’s low level of professionalism, poor protection and conditions for journalists, a weak and oversaturated media market, an unsustainable public media service, a fragmented media scene, and political influence. BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA 16 EUROPE & EURASIA MEDIA SUSTAINABILITY INDEX 2014 introduction OVERALL SCORE: 2.04 BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) did not show signs of political or economic stabilization in 2013. The governing political parties avoided focusing on substantive reforms and implementing international standards. In April, Ba new political party launched—the Democratic Front, led by Željko Komšić, the Croat member of the B&H tripartite presidency. In the same month, the president of the Federation of B&H, Živko Budimir, was arrested on the accusation of taking bribes to approve amnesties but was released in May due to lack of evidence. In June 2013, public protests in front of Sarajevo’s parliament building and in other cities in B&H highlighted the lack of regulation of citizen IDs for newborns. The citizen initiative across B&H, although holding a promise of revolutionary change, ended as an unsuccessful bid to change politicians’ corruption, inequality, and incompetence. Finally, at the beginning of November, the B&H House of Peoples, in an emergency session and without debate, adopted the proposed amendments and changes to the law on ID numbers. The fact that the protests were organized through online platforms and social media illustrated new media’s growing influence in socially mobilizing the country. However, Serb and Croat parliamentarians framed the protests as an ethnically driven threat to their security and refused to attend parliamentary sessions for several weeks.

  • Al Jazeera's Expansion: News Media Moments and Growth in Australia
    Al Jazeera’s Expansion: News Media Moments and Growth in Australia PhD thesis by publication, 2017 Scott Bridges Institute of Governance and Policy Analysis University of Canberra ABSTRACT Al Jazeera was launched in 1996 by the government of Qatar as a small terrestrial news channel. In 2016 it is a global media company broadcasting news, sport and entertainment around the world in multiple languages. Devised as an outward- looking news organisation by the small nation’s then new emir, Al Jazeera was, and is, a key part of a larger soft diplomatic and brand-building project — through Al Jazeera, Qatar projects a liberal face to the world and exerts influence in regional and global affairs. Expansion is central to Al Jazeera’s mission as its soft diplomatic goals are only achieved through its audience being put to work on behalf of the state benefactor, much as a commercial broadcaster’s profit is achieved through its audience being put to work on behalf of advertisers. This thesis focuses on Al Jazeera English’s non-conventional expansion into the Australian market, helped along as it was by the channel’s turning point coverage of the 2011 Egyptian protests. This so-called “moment” attracted critical and popular acclaim for the network, especially in markets where there was still widespread suspicion about the Arab network, and it coincided with Al Jazeera’s signing of reciprocal broadcast agreements with the Australian public broadcasters. Through these deals, Al Jazeera has experienced the most success with building a broadcast audience in Australia. After unpacking Al Jazeera English’s Egyptian Revolution “moment”, and problematising the concept, this thesis seeks to formulate a theoretical framework for a news media turning point.
