  • 40 Media Ethics for Educating Masses and Mediatization of Society Abid Zafar , Hassan Shahzad , Muhammad Zaman Abstract Educatio
    International Journal of Distance Education and E- Learning (IJDEEL) Volume IV- Issue I (Dec, 2018) Media Ethics for Educating Masses and Mediatization of Society Abid Zafar1, Hassan Shahzad2, Muhammad Zaman3 Abstract Education is one of the three main functions of media. This function assumes utmost importance when media comes to play the role of watchdog in a mediatized society so that quality of democracy is achieved through protection of human liberties. In 2002, President Pervez Musharraf unlocked the potential of electronic media by allowing private entrepreneurs to operate TV and Radio channels, which led to acceleration of the process of mediatization of politics. For the purpose of the study two main leading newspaper Daily Jang and The News have been selected. The researcher has critically evaluated these two newspapers from March, 2015 to July 2015. This research is critical descriptive in nature leading to an understanding of the value of professional ethics for media to perform function of educating the masses in recognizing their rights. It has found that private media ignore the function of educating the masses and has been engaged in proliferating distorted information in the society so much that masses find themselves in confusion about reality. Key Words: Education, Media, Ethics, Mediatization, Society Introduction In 21st century, media is playing an outstanding role in promoting education through educating masses by influencing on the daily activities of children (Zafar, 2018). At the same time, the social mediums (ICT’s) also playing an astonishing role among higher level students especially in universities by helping in research Tess related assignments.

  • Education Journalism
    National Academy of Education Workshop Series on Methods and Policy Uses of International Large-Scale Assessments (ILSA) Education Journalism Professor Nicholas Lemann Columbia Journalism School Columbia University July 2017 Contact: Nicholas Lemann, Columbia Journalism School, Columbia University, Pulitzer Hall, 605D, 2950 Broadway, New York, NY 10027, (212) 854-5389, [email protected]. This paper was prepared for the National Academy of Education’s Workshop Series on Methods and Policy Uses of International Large-Scale Assessment (ILSA). The research reported here was supported by the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, through Grant R305U150003 to the National Academy of Education. The opinions expressed are those of the author and do not represent views of the Institute or the U.S. Department of Education. 1 Most education researchers, and educators generally, have a fairly standard, and justified, set of complaints about education journalism. The press seems to treat educa- tion as a second-order topic, so education coverage is understaffed and underplayed. Most reporters do not seem to be familiar with the large quantity of first-rate education research that is readily available to them, and many reporters are unable to engage with anything that uses, let’s say, correlation coefficients. Self-appointed experts and misleading numbers get too much attention. Like other parts of journalism, education journalism overemphasizes personalities, anecdotes, and narratives—the charismatic principal, political correctness on campus—at the expense of analytic rigor and what is really important. An obvious attainable and supremely important task for education journalism, for example, is to use both research and the kind of ethnographic work that journalists are trained to do to make sense of the widespread assertions of inferiority or even failure in the American public school system.

    Title The permanent campaign strategy of Greek Prime Ministers (1996–2011) Candidate Panagiotis Koliastasis Degree This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 4 Abstract Various academic authors have analysed the implementation, the causes and the impact of the permanent campaign strategy by political executives in presidential and parliamentary systems, notably the United States and United Kingdom. This study builds on this literature and extends the research on the permanent campaign in the European parliamentary majoritarian context by examining contemporary Greece as a national case study. In particular, the study addresses three questions. First, did contemporary Greek Prime Ministers adopt the permanent campaign strategy? Second, why did they do so? Third, what impact did the implementation of the permanent campaign have on their public approval? The research focuses on the cases of three successive Prime Ministers in Greece: Costas Simitis (1996–2004), Kostas Karamanlis (2004–2009) and George Papandreou (2009-2011). Simitis and Papandreou were leaders of the centre-left PASOK, while Karamanlis was the leader of the centre-right New Democracy. The study finds that all three Prime Ministers undertook the permanent campaign strategy in order to maintain public approval, aligning themselves with their British and American counterparts. They established new communication units within the primeministerial apparatus, consulted with communication professionals to form a coherent communication

  • The Assault on Journalism Edited by Ulla Carlsson and Reeta Pöyhtäri
    The Assault on Journalism on Assault The People who exercise their right to freedom of expression through journalism should be able to practice their work without restrictions. They are, nonetheless, the constant targets of violence and threats. In an era of globalization and digitization, no single party can alone carry the responsibility for protection of journalism and freedom of expression. Instead, this responsibility must be assumed jointly by the state, the courts, media companies and journalist organizations, as well as by NGOs and civil society – on national as well as global levels. To support joint efforts to protect journalism, there is a growing need for research- The Assault based knowledge. Acknowledging this need, the aim of this publication is to highlight and fuel journalist safety as a field of research, to encourage worldwide participation, as well as to inspire further dialogues and new research initiatives. The contributions represent diverse perspectives on both empirical and theoretical on Journalism research and offer many quantitatively and qualitatively informed insights. The articles demonstrate that a new important interdisciplinary research field is in fact Building Knowledge to Protect emerging, and that the fundamental issue remains identical: Violence and threats against journalists constitute an attack on freedom of expression. Freedom of Expression Edited by The publication is the result of collaboration between the UNESCO Chair at the University of Gothenburg, UNESCO, IAMCR and a range of other partners.
