  • Journalism in the Borderland. Barents Media Freedom
    Journalism in the borderland Barents Media Freedom 2017 Published with support from Fritt Ord Authored by Atle Staalesen Atle Staalesen is journalist and Director of the Independent Barents Observer. In 2002, he founded the Barents Observer, which in the period 2005-2015 was hosted by the Norwegian Barents Secretariat. Atle was editor until 2009 and later worked as journalist and project coordinator for several European cross-border cooperation projects. He quit his job in the Barents Secretariat late 2015 following a conflict over editorial rights and subsequently re- established the Barents Observer as an independent and non-profit stock company along with the rest of the newspaper crew. Atle has a degree in Russian studies from the University of Oslo and studied journalism at the Moscow State University. Kirkenes, 2017 The Independent Barents Observer [email protected] @BarentsNews Introduction «You will not write about politics, will you?» The question comes from one of the border guards checking my passport at the Russian checkpoint of Borisoglebsk. I am on my way across the Norwegian-Russian border heading for Murmansk, the Russian Arctic city, on a work assignment. It is not uncommon that Russian border guards ask journalists about the purpose of their visit. However, this time the question is more intriguing than normal. And the timing is extraordinary. Only few weeks earlier had Thomas Nilsen, my colleague and Editor of the Barents Observer, been stopped on the very same spot and taken aside by the border guards. In a back room he was told that he was no longer wanted in Russia and that he would be rejected entry for the next five years.

Newspapers can cover wide variety of fields such as politics, business, sport and art and often include materials such as opinion columns, weather forecasts, reviews of local services, obituaries, birth notices, crosswords, editorial cartoons, comic strips, and advice columns. Most newspapers are businesses, and they pay their expenses with a mixture of subscription revenue, newsstand sales, and advertising revenue. The journalism organizations that publish newspapers are themselves often metonymically called newspapers. Newspapers have traditionally been published in print (usually on cheap, low- grade paper called newsprint). However, today most newspapers are also published on websites as online newspapers, and some have even abandoned their print versions entirely. Newspapers developed in the 17th century, as information sheets for businessmen. By the early 19th century, many cities in Europe, as well as North and South America, published newspapers.

  • Where Have All the Soldiers Gone?
    Conflict Studies Research Centre Russi an Series 06/47 Defence Academy of the United Kingdom Where Have All the Soldiers Gone? Russia’s Military Plans Versus Demographic Reality Keir Giles Key Points * Russia intends to halve the term of conscription into the armed forces from two years to one in 2008, while retaining the overall size of the forces. * This implies doubling the number of conscripts drafted each year, but demographic change in Russia means there will not be enough healthy 18-year-olds to do this. * A number of grounds for deferral of conscription are to be abolished, but this will still not provide anything like enough conscripts. * Recruitment and retention on contract service appear insufficient to fill the gap. * The timing of the change-over to one-year conscription threatens major disruption and upheaval in the armed forces, at or around the time of the 2008 presidential election.

  • Re-Evaluating the Public Sphere in Russia: Case Studies of Two Ngos
    Re-Evaluating the Public Sphere in Russia: Case Studies of Two NGOs THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alex Gregory Radsky Graduate Program in Slavic and East European Studies The Ohio State University 2013 Master's Examination Committee: Morgan Liu, Advisor Nick Breyfogle Copyright by Alex Radsky 2013 Abstract This thesis explores two Russian non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the Union of Committees of Soldiers’ Mothers (UCSMR) and the Interregional Association of Human Rights Organizations AGORA (Agora). These two case studies apply the public sphere as a theoretical lens in an innovative way in order to rethink Russian civil society. The interactions of these two NGOs with state institutions show that Russia’s NGOs are important social actors who are actively negotiating and contesting the borders between civil and political action. Operating on the border of state and society, these two NGOs’ depicts a blurry boundary between social actors and a non-unitary state. In order to challenge the boundaries between the political and the civic, Agora and UCSMR’s negotiate through a process of creating public spheres, or pluralizing the voices contesting a certain institution or idea. In these cases, the UCSMR has brought the discourse of human rights to the military and Agora has done the same within the legal system. This contested negotiation occurs in an overlapping field of state institutions, individuals, and social organizations through both cooperation and contestation. These public spheres encompass multiple layers of the state, and play an important role in negotiating the boundaries of political action in Russian society.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository For Peace and Friendship of All Countries: Soviet Citizens' Opinions of Peace during the Cold War, May 1960 Aaron Todd Hale-Dorrell A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Donald J. Raleigh Louise McReynolds Donald M. Reid Abstract AARON TODD HALE-DORRELL: For Peace and Friendship of All Countries: Soviet Citizens' Opinions of Peace During the Cold War, May 1960 (Under the Direction of Dr. Donald J. Raleigh) This thesis analyzes a public opinion survey that sociologist Boris Grushin conducted in the Soviet Union in May 1960. His survey asked average Soviet citizens about war and peace immediately following a Cold War incident in which the Soviet military destroyed an American U-2 spy plane that had violated Soviet airspace. This thesis questions why, despite resulting heightened tensions between the superpowers, 96.8 percent of survey respondents expressed confidence that humanity could prevent war. I argue that, while propaganda promoting Khrushchev's “peaceful coexistence” policy influenced every respondent, some respondents emphasized different official policies and explanations for events, demonstrating a degree of independence from propaganda. Furthermore, respondents justified belief in peace and integrated themselves into a collective war narrative by describing experiences of World War II. Finally, I show that official interest in public opinion reflects Khrushchev-era political and cultural reforms, especially in Soviet journalism and sociology.

  • Alternative Media As Critical Pedagogical Intervention Against Neoliberalism and Racism
    D E M O C R A T I C C O M M U N I Q U É Alternative Media as Critical Pedagogical Intervention Against Neoliberalism and Racism Emil Marmol The corporate news media serves as the primary instrument by which the ideologies of neoliberalism and racism are transmitted and solidified in the public mind. In contrast, alternative news media provides counter-hegemonic content that disrupts corporate media messages. This paper calls for a transformative and revolutionary pedagogical intervention encouraging educators to fuse alternative media content with a critical media literacy framework in their classrooms. It provides examples of how to facilitate the introduction of alternative news into the curriculum to challenge and break classist and racist frames that are reproduced by the corporate media. Keywords: Alternative media; Critical Pedagogy; Race; Class; Neoliberalism Marmol, Emil (2018). Alternative Media as Critical Pedagogical Intervention Against Neoliberalism and Racism, Democratic Communiqué, Vol. 27. 2018 pp. 24–35. Marmol | Alternative Media 25 his paper calls for a critical pedagogical intervention, encouraging educators to fuse alternative media content with a critical media literacy framework in their classrooms. This intervention wil will facilitate an introduction of alternative news into the curriculum as a transformative and revolutionary pedagogy (Funk, Kellner, and Share 2015; Leban and McLaren 2010). Under the neoliberal paradigm, youth are facing a bleak world in which the state has abdicated its responsibilities to them (Giroux 2008, 2017), and where political decision-making power is exercised almost exclusively by corporations and economic elites (Gilens and Page 2014). Young people have limited economic and social opportunities.

Preoccupied with high quality art reproduction and graphic design, these journals were conceived and executed as art objects and examples of fine book craftsmanship, concerned with the physical form and appearance of the periodical as such. Their publication advanced Russian book art and stimulated the development of graphic design, giving it a status comparable to that of painting or sculpture.

While providing a brief overview of the practices of electoral coverage by Ukrainian media throughout last decade, the paper specifically addresses the most recent presidential election campaign of 2009-2010 as a case study. The paper presents the results of news monitor- ing, outlining major trends in media coverage of election campaigns in Ukraine. The problem of paid-for coverage and its implications for the development of media system in Ukraine are discussed. 1 Daria Orlova is PhD Student at the Kyiv Mohyla School of Journalism. 96 Orlova: Standards of Media Coverage of Elections in Ukraine Daria Orlova Standards of Media Coverage of Elections in Ukraine 1.

This is largely explained by the fact that that the mass media are viewed as important actors in the political life of societies and contribute to shaping public perceptions.
