  • “The Voice of the Voiceless” News Production and Journalistic Practice at Al Jazeera English
    STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY Department of Social Anthropology “The Voice of the Voiceless” News production and journalistic practice at Al Jazeera English Emma Nyrén i Master’s thesis Spring 2014 Supervisor: Paula Uimonen Abstract This thesis explores how the cultural and social media environments surrounding the journalism of Al Jazeera English are shaped by and shape the channel’s news practices. Al Jazeera English has been described as a contra-flow news organization in the global media landscape and this thesis discusses the different reasons why the channel is described in this way by looking at its origins, aims, characteristics and ideals. Based on interviews with Al Jazeera English journalists, news observations and two field observations in London, I argue that Al Jazeera English brings cultural and social sensitivity to its news reports by engaging with multiple in-depth perspectives, using local reporters and integrating citizen generated material. The channel’s early adoption of online technologies and citizen journalism also contributes to a more democratic news direction and gives the channel a wider spectrum of opinions and perspectives to choose between. By applying a comparative analysis built on similar studies within anthropology of news journalism differences and similarities within the journalistic practices can be detected, comparing Al Jazeera English’s journalism with journalism at other places and news organizations. These comparisons and discussions enables new understandings for how news is produced and negotiated within the global media landscape, and this gives the global citizen an improved comprehension of why the news, which shapes our appreciation of the world, looks like it does.

By LOU PAVLOVICH, JR. Editor/Collegiate Baseball NDIANAPOLIS — A powerful addition to the Fight Rule by the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee has been put on Ihold by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel. While the panel supports putting more teeth into the rule, members had questions about a recommendation that would have ejected any team personnel, other than coaches, who left their field positions, the dugouts or the bullpens at the time of an altercation. Those players or team personnel would be suspended from the team’s next game. Panel members would like to have more clarification about the proposal, particularly about players leaving their positions on the field. The proposed rule reads: “Any team personnel, other than coaches, who leave their positions, the dugouts or bullpens at the time of an altercation, will be ejected and suspended from the team’s next game.” Ben Brownlee, NCAA staff liaison to the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee, was asked to define the word See NEW FIGHT RULE PACKS, Page 2 The new passage to NCAA Fight Rule requires players not to leave positions.

Milton Wolf 2010 Seminar Report Abstract The 2010 Milton Wolf Seminar brought together practitioners and academics for three days of exciting debate in Vienna, Austria from March 17 to 19 at the Diplomatic Academy Vienna. Co-sponsored by the American Austrian Foundation, the Center for Global Communication Studies at the University of Pennsylvania‘s Annenberg School for Communication, and the Diplomatic Academy Vienna, the seminar explored the theme, “New media, new newsmakers, new public diplomacy: The changing role of journalists, NGOs, and diplomats in a multi-modal media world.” The Premise Discussion began with a recognition that: as new media and communication technologies diffuse worldwide, traditional media institutions face a range of challenges, from shortened news cycles to fragmented and shrinking audiences. Advertising revenues have declined as advertisers try to make sense of the new environment and to redirect their spending in efficient and effective ways, putting media under economic pressure.
