Cyril and Methodius in Trnava Námestie Jozefa Herdu 2 917 01 Trnava SLOVAK REPUBLIC https://fmk.sk/en/, www.mlar.sk Fakulta masmediálnej komunikácie Faculty of Mass Media Communication Editorial The ability to work with information and meaningful and effective usage of the media are the key competences important not only for children and adolescents, but also for members of all social groups. First and foremost, there are teachers and other youth workers who stand in front of the current challenges of post-truth- society. More sophisticated strategies for spreading fake news, disinformation, hoaxes and rumours spread quickly and widely via social media. Responding to these challenges is not just a problem for citizens of all age groups, but also for politicians, journalists and other stakeholders who often face difficulties in distinguishing whether a message that appears online is true or a disinformation spread. In many countries, there is a lack of appropriate procedures to allow early detection of such false or based on facts information. However, especially in the USA and other English-speaking countries, digital tools are already available to analyze online information to detect if it is really true or if it is created to manipulate audience members. The dynamic development of the Internet and new technology, as well as the time and professional requirements of the teaching profession, mean that teachers are not always able to keep up with their students – especially in the usage of new technology platforms and services. However, seniors, parents and customers are also increasingly confronted with these issues, and they can easily become the victim of various fraudulent commercial activities, but also of populist political propaganda. These facts are one of the reasons why the widest range of users needs to gain perfect insight, confidence and proper professional skills in using new media. This implies the need for intensive development of their information and media competences so that the vast potential and capacity of the global information society are effective. This includes the complete range of capabilities to fully exploit the potential of working with information and digital skills. In particular, new media, their diverse platforms and user applications can also be used for education, development of key competences, teaching values and work to improve mutual relations, coexistence and governance. For example, social networks have the potential to help people with the same interests and opinions to become part of a group or movement that could help in communication between different cultures. Academics, politicians, journalists, and other stakeholders should not be left behind by these initiatives, requiring constant monitoring of new trends and societal changes, managing work with new media and related digital competences in an efficient way. Many of these questions are addressed in the latest issue of Media Literacy and Academic Research. We believe that studies published in our magazine will contribute to a fruitful discussion of these issues and will bring much inspiration for further research, education, political and other initiatives in this field.

  • MICHAEL GOVE - MEETINGS with MEDIA ORGANISATIONS – 6 May 2010 – 15 July 2011
    MICHAEL GOVE - MEETINGS WITH MEDIA ORGANISATIONS – 6 May 2010 – 15 July 2011 This list sets out the Secretary of State’s meetings with senior media executives for the period May 2010-July 2011. This includes all meetings with proprietors, senior executives and editors of media organisations for both newspapers and broadcast media. It does not include those meetings with journalists that ended up in interviews that appeared in the public domain, either in newspapers and magazines. It may also exclude some larger social events at which senior media executives may have been present. This is the fullest possible list assembled from the Secretary of State’s Parliamentary diary, their departmental diary, personal diary and memory. Every effort has been taken to ensure that this is as accurate as possible but the nature of such an extensive exercise means something may have inadvertently got missed. Declaration of interest: The Secretary of State worked for the BBC from 1991 to 1995 and News International from 1996 to 2005. He wrote a weekly column for News International from 2005 to 2009. His wife currently works for The Times and has done so since 1998. Secretary of State, Michael Gove Date of Name of Media Organisation Purpose of Meeting Meeting 19 May 2010 Rupert Murdoch (News Corporation), Dinner and general Rebekah Brooks (News International), discussion plus more than ten others. 28 May 2010 Bill Kristol (Weekly Standard), plus Dinner and general several others discussion 30 May 2010 Alan Rusbridger (The Guardian), Jon Dinner at the Hay

  • Sunday Times a Resurgent Jewel in Murdoch's Battered Crown
    Academic rigour, journalistic flair Subscribe Fourth estate follies Trawling through the dustbins of the UK media Sunday Times a resurgent jewel in Murdoch’s battered crown January 13, 2015 3.27pm GMT Author John Jewell Director of Undergraduate Studies, School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, Cardiff University Resurgent title: The Sunday Times. Supplied Last year was evidently a traumatic time for many journalists who worked for the Sun and the News of the World during the Brooks and Coulson era. Arrests, prosecutions, convictions (and in some case acquittals) meant that the reputations of those working for the so-called “Murdoch press” could hardly have been more besmirched. And 2015 has begun in much the same way as 2014 ended with, as I write, The Sun’s chief reporter and royal editor on trial at the Old Bailey accused of paying public officials for story tips including “gossip and tittle-tattle” about princes William and Harry. At the same time, in Kingston Crown Court, the jury in the trial of six other former and current Sun journalists accused of paying backhanders to public officials has retired to consider its verdict. Difficult days, indeed. But time, I think, to provide a corollary to the familiar narrative. Time to celebrate the work of The Sun’s related title, The Sunday Times and to remember that newspaper journalism is not fundamentally corrupt and still capable of producing work which can have a global impact for the common good. Irrespective of ideological considerations, it’s my view that the editors, journalists and commentators of the Sunday Times are responsible for creating a diverse and astonishingly accomplished almanac every single week.

  • British Battered Corporation. How Is the BBC Portrayed in UK National Newspapers?
    British Battered Corporation. How is the BBC portrayed in UK national newspapers? Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Catrin Jessica Owen September 2019 Acknowledgements Thank you to all at the Department of Communication and Media at the University of Liverpool who supported me throughout my thesis. A particularly special thanks goes to Dr Georgina Turner for her invaluable advice and feedback over the past few years. George often took time out of her own busy schedule to give me support – from recommending literature to ploughing through earlier drafts of my chapters – even though there was no obligation for her to do so. Thank you so much, George, academia needs more fabulous women like you! The start of my PhD coincided with my decision to take up a new hobby – running. Initially thinking I’d complete a half marathon ‘just to say I’ve done it,’ the support of the community at Dockside Runners meant that over the past 4 years I stuck around to do many 10ks, half marathons, and even a couple of marathons! Ultimately, running has given me a way of coping with the mental pressures of writing a thesis and being part of Dockside has given me friends for life. Thank you to all who’ve listened to me try and explain my PhD during long runs! A big thank you to my parents, Sion and Kathy, for their encouragement and support over the past four years. Whether it’s been taking me out for food and drinks or just listening to me have a good moan, I’ve really appreciated how much you’ve been there for me to help me believe that I can get to the end.

  • Sarah Baxter Deputy Editor, the Sunday Times Media Masters – August 23, 2018 Listen to the Podcast Online, Visit
    Sarah Baxter Deputy Editor, the Sunday Times Media Masters – August 23, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m joined by Sarah Baxter, deputy editor of the Sunday Times. Sarah joined the paper as editor of News Review before being appointed Washington correspondent in 2005. She then edited the Sunday Times magazine until 2015. As deputy editor of the Sunday title, she also writes a column in which she’s taking aim at sexism in Westminster, the Uber behemoth and the far left’s attack on the free press. Before her successful journalism career, she worked in publishing, first as a copywriter and then as a press officer, and has held senior positions at Time Out, the New Statesman and the Observer. Sarah, thank you for joining me. You’re welcome! Good to be here. So, Sarah, if we can, let’s walk through your career. You started out in publishing, did you not? How did the move to journalism come about? Well, I decided I was sitting on the wrong side of the table. I was, as you rightly say, a press officer. I worked for Virago Press, a Feminist Press in the 1980s, and I was constantly setting up interviews with great writers – Maya Angelou, Pat Barker, Margaret Atwood. They had a terrific stable of women writers, but I suddenly realised I’d rather be asking the questions than sitting on the side waiting for people to come out and offering them cups of tea and things like that.
