This issue becomes increasingly harder to tackle, as tobacco and alcohol industries stay a step ahead and capturing their target populations using creative techniques. This study analysed media and social media content published in 2019 and 2020, with the aim of describing tobacco and alcohol portrayal in those media channels. This study found that within 2019 and 2020 tobacco and alcohol portrayals were in abundance in locally produced movies and television series. Furthermore, the creative storylines delivered were able to deliver norms and aspirations regarding tobacco and alcohol to young viewers. The television series and movies explored in this study found patterns of tobacco and alcohol portrayal as well as some patterns in the cast and broadcasting. There is definitive evidence to state that substance use is being sensa- tionalised and normalised among young men and women through portrayal in movies and television series. A key finding was the focus on female smoking and drinking in movies as well as the substance use among young people on media. YouTube and Facebook content that was analysed within 2019 and 2020 also found an abundance of tobacco and alcohol portrayal. Promotional, educational or brand advertising type of content appeared on social media. This content seems to deliver specific messages to social media users. Both smoking and drinking are communicated in a positive and attractive light. Furthermore, it is also repeatedly highlighted as normal and a pleasurable practice for social media users. 2 Portrayal is promotion, it’s time to stop! LAY SUMMARY The NATA Act no 27 of 2006 imposes legal restrictions on tobacco and alcohol advertising and promotion on media and the internet. Despite this ban, tobacco and alcohol content appear in different forms of traditional and social media in attractive ways. This new research aimed to describe media and social media for tobacco and alcohol content portrayed in movies, television, YouTube and Facebook. Within the years 2019 and 2020 tobacco and alcohol portrayals were found in abun- dance in locally produced movies and television series. Television series analysed in this study

  • D E Sig Ng Ra Ph Iq Ue
    4€ Design graphique : Marion Tigréat / www.mariontigreatportfolio.com Lyannaj ! Une expression découverte ici à la faveur du mouvement populaire qui a agité La Guadeloupe, La Martinique… Et la « métropole » au début du printemps. Si le vocable Pwofitation a lui aussi connu un grand succès public, c’est au Lyannaj que nous dédions notre 9ème édition. Formidable langue créole qui nous offre ce mot en partage… Littéralement « lianer », c’est nouer, relier, vivre ensemble, et faire ensemble. Or depuis 2001, notre propos est justement de créer ce « Lyannaj » à Groix. Les insulaires et les amoureux des îles s’y retrouvent autour du cinéma, de la musique, et des débats. Lyannaj… à Sri Lanka. Notre île invitée en a bien besoin ! L'actuelle défaite militaire de la rebellion séparatiste tamoul met fin à près de 30 ans d'un conflit qui aura fait plus de 80 000 morts. Sans partis pris, autre que celui des populations civiles, nous avons invité des personnalités qui défendent la paix, la démocratie, et le « vivre ensemble », toutes confessions et ethnies confondues. En partenariat avec Amnesty International, nous vous proposons une vingtaine de films en provenance de l’île « aux mille sourires » et aux mille peines, en majorité inédits en France. Lyannaj toujours, mais cette fois contre la pwofitation. Nous vous invitons, par des films et des débats, à revenir sur le formidable séisme qui a secoué La Guadeloupe et la Martinique, avant de nous arrêter une nouvelle fois chez leur voisine Haïti. Nous la fêterons à travers des documentaires et des concerts afin d’amorcer notre futur partenariat avec la commune des Abricots et son maire Jean-Claude Fignolé.

  • Yashwantrao Chavan
    Yashwantrao Chavan MESSAGE Shri Yashwantrao Chavan, born on 12th March 1913 in a small village called Devrashtra in the then Satara district, hailed from a rural family with modest means. His father was a bailiff who succumbed to the epidemic of plague when Yashwantrao was only four years old. He was brought up by his mother under difficult circumstances. He grew up in a family where social and political reforms were a subject of daily debate and discourse. He spent about 15 months in jail but the period of incarceration turned out to be a blessing in disguise. There were many eminent scholars who were also in the same jail and they conducted virtual classes and turned the jail into a university. It was in the jail that he first absorbed knowledge of political ideologies and classical literature. When India's independence was on the horizon, he won the election to the Legislative Assembly in 1946 and began his political career as Parliamentary Secretary to the Home Minister, Shri Morarji Desai. Soon he got involved in the vortex of movement for the Samyukta Maharashtra. Eventually, he became the Chief Minister of bilingual State of Bombay in 1956. He made a name for himself with his capacity for work, candid dialogue with opposition and administrative acumen. The State of Maharashtra was formed on 1st May 1960 and Yashwantrao became the first Chief Minister of Maharashtra. In November 1962, he became the Defence Minister in the aftermath of the India-China conflict. He worked hard to restore the morale of the armed forces and to enhance his strength through modern weapons, better equipment, organizational changes and a harmonious relationship with the armed forces.
