    Michael Brown, Galiya Ibrayeva 35 UDC 19.01.09 1Michael Brown, 2Galiya Ibrayeva 1PhD Emeritus professor, University of Wyoming Laramie, Wyoming, USA e-mail: [email protected] 2Professor, doctor of political science al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty, Kazakhstan e-mail: [email protected] Why Study Journalism: Motivation of Future Kazakh Journalists This paper is part of a large international research project: Journalism Students across the Globe: Professionalization, Identity and Challenges in a Changing Environment. Journalism education in Kazakhstan, like elsewhere, needs to account for changes in the information environment. This project examines the motives to study journalism by students from Kazakhstan. Do today’s student motivations reflect an understanding of new media with its text, images, infographics, data, and new genres; and how should a journalist combine knowledge of the various media fields? Study of the motivations of Kazakh students in this context is important for both national interests and aligning Kazakh journalism education with international expectations. An online survey used open-ended questions to elicit replies. Questions focused on career opportunities for journalism students, aspects of education that motivate students and whether a university degree is necessary to become a professional journalist. Findings were compared to historical journalistic motivations in Kazakhstan. Students now are driven by different motives. In the past journalistic education was a building block for a career in politics or writing. Now students know various fields of journalism and what the fields offer. Journalism students prefer TV, but a high percentage also prefer the increasingly important online environment. The formula for modern education in the age of information and new technologies is an ongoing systematic process of learning for both educators and students, driven by motivations that are important not only within the walls of universities, but in everyday life.

Minority-Language Related Broadcasting and Legislation in the OSCE Abstract There are a large number of language-related regulations (both prescriptive and proscriptive) that affect the shape of the broadcasting media and therefore have an impact on the life of persons belonging to minorities. Of course, language has been and remains an important instrument in State-building and maintenance. In this context, requirements have also been put in place to accommodate national minorities. In some settings, there is legislation to assure availability of programming in minority languages.1 Language rules have also been manipulated for restrictive, sometimes punitive ends. A language can become or be made a focus of loyalty for a minority community that thinks itself suppressed, persecuted, or subjected to discrimination. Regulations relating to broadcasting may make language a target for attack or suppression if the authorities associate it with what they consider a disaffected or secessionist group or even just a culturally inferior one.

Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Yusuf Kalyango Assistant Professor of Journalism Scott Titsworth Interim Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT BISSENOV, NAUBET, M.S., May 2013, Journalism Pro-g overnment and Pro-opposition Newspaper Coverage of the Zhanaozen Conflict in Kazakhstan Director of Thesis: Yusuf Kalyango This study examines the coverage of a conflict on December 16, 2011, between protesters and government security services in the oil town of Zhanaozen in western Kazakhstan during the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the country’s independence. The study looks into the coverage of the Zhanaozen conflict by four newspapers published in Kazakhstan – the pro-government Kazakhstanskaya Pravda and Karavan and the pro-opposition Golos Respubliki and Vzglyad. A textual analysis of articles was used to establish whether the coverage of the same events by these newspapers differed and, if so, how. Results showed that the pro-government newspapers had blamed the conflict on the rioters and opposition, while shielding government security forces. They also relied solely on the official accounts of the conflict. The findings showed that the pro-opposition newspapers covered the conflict from both sides and helped the sides engage in communication.

  • Media Education in Kazakh Secondary Schools and the Role of Media Products in Foreign Language Learning
    T. C. İstanbul Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü İngiliz Dili Eğitimi Anabilim Dalı Yüksek Lisans Tezi MEDIA EDUCATION IN KAZAKH SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND THE ROLE OF MEDIA PRODUCTS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING Dana Altynbekova 2501070944 Tez Danışmanı Doç. Dr. Nur Nacar Logie İstanbul 2010 ABSTRACT The media is now easily accessible to everyone and the youth is creating a new generation which is socially more aware and democratic. In the midst of this change the misinterpretation of information is quite remarkable. Accordingly, the proper analysis and evaluation of media content in Kazakh schools seem to be in deficiency. A lot of countries have successfully implemented media education by this time, while Kazakhstan has not yet integrated it up to the present time. This present research paper aims to accentuate the significance of media education in language learning and provide with the models of teaching media education as an integrated part of subjects in secondary schools in South Kazakhstan (Shymkent). Moreover, among the many factors educational, economic and social sizes of Kazakhstan are examined. In terms of writing present research paper were revealed, uses of media products in improving critical thinking ability and the possibilities which media technologies can offer to foreign language learning. In the result of surveys conducted on teachers to define the terms of media education and ways of integrating it, some affordable suggestions for future reference are offered. Another survey, conducted on the learners, gives data about the average range of media usage outside the school environment. iii ÖZ Medya artık herkes tarafından kolayca erişilebilir görünmektedir. Özellikle bu anlamda, daha fazla sosyal bilinç sahibi yeni bir nesil olarak genç nüfus, daha demokratik görüşlüdür.
