Ipak, ne mo- žemo kazati da su Medijske studije časopis koji smo dugo planirali. Nakon konferencije “Vjerodostojnost medija” koja se u lipnju 2010. održala na Fakultetu političkih znanosti u Zagrebu, planirali smo objaviti tek zbornik radova s konferencije. Odaziv znanstvenika s čak devet sveučilišta u regiji potvrdio je važnost teme, kao i uopće trajnu, neizostavnu ulogu medija u društvu. Međutim umjesto zbornika radova, neplanirano, gotovo u jed- nom dahu, kao rezultat energije koja se u dobrom trenutku prožela i nije naišla na puno prepreka, danas svjedočimo novoj činjenici – Fakultet političkih znanosti i Sveučilište u Zagrebu dobili su novi znanstveni časopis za medije, komunikaciju, novinarstvo te odno- se s javnošću – Medijske studije. Inicijativa je službeno prihvaćena na sastanku Odsjeka za novinarstvo i odnose s javnošću FPZ-a koji se održao znakovitog datuma 20. 10. 2010., a • 1-2 • 1 (1-2) 2010 spremno ju je podržalo i Hrvatsko komunikacijsko društvo kao suizdavač časopisa. Bezre- zervna spremnost na suradnju i nesebična pomoć članova uredništva, uredničkog savjeta, recenzenata, izvrsnog tima suradnika te naših izdavača u svakom je trenutku činila ovaj izazov ugodnim. MEDIA STUDIES I baš je zato ovaj prvi dvobroj specifi čan: otvara ga članak prof. Petera Dahlgrena sa Sveučilišta u Lundu koji je u studenome prošle godine održao gostujuće predavanje na našem fakultetu, a potom donosimo radove sa spomenute konferencije. Sljedeća konfe- rencija “Vjerodostojnost medija” bit će organizirana u lipnju 2011. na Fakultetu političkih STUDIJE MEDIJSKE nauka u Beogradu. 1 Cilj nam je da Medijske studije postanu međunarodno prepoznate kao znanstveni i stručni forum za aktualnu, relevantnu i originalnu raspravu o medijima i različitim oblici- ma komunikacije, a strogi recenzentski postupak bit će jamac njegove izvrsnosti. Veselimo se i Vašem doprinosu! Viktorija Car glavna urednica UVODNA BILJEŠKA EDITOR’S NOTE Creating a new scientifi c journal is normally a decision that requires a long term com- mitment and plan. We, however, have not followed this well worn path. Following the conference, “Media Credibility” held at the University of Zagreb’s Faculty of Political Sci- ence in June 2010, we originally planned to publish only the conference papers. The re- sponse from scientists from as many as nine universities from the region was, in short, overwhelmingly positive and underscored the importance of the topic as well as the con- stant and unavoidable role of the media in society. Unplanned and almost in one breath, and as a result of the contagious energy that permeated within the faculty (and, we might add, the lack of red tape) the Faculty of Political Science and the University of Zagreb proudly unveil a scientifi c journal dedicated to media, communication, journalism and public relations – Media Studies. Our initiative was offi cially accepted at the meeting of the Department for Journalism and Public Relations at the Faculty of Political Science, on 20-10-2010 – a date that perhaps symbolizes the fl uidity of this journal’s creation, from 2010 • 1 • (1-2) • 1-2 • 1 (1-2) 2010 its inception to print. As well, it was warmly welcomed by the Croatian Communication Society, the co-publisher of the journal. The unreserved willingness for cooperation and unselfi sh assistance of the members of the editorial staff , editorial council, consulting edi- tors, a truly inspiring team of collaborators, and the publisher have made the challenge a MEDIA STUDIES truly worthwhile endeavor. The fi rst double issue is specifi c to the origins of this project. Media Studies opens with an article written by Professor Peter Dahlgren from the University of Lund, a guest lecturer who visited our Faculty in November 2010. The articles that follow stem from the confer- MEDIJSKE STUDIJE MEDIJSKE ence “Media Credibility”; each contributes a rigorous analysis of a selected topic within 2 the fi eld, and encourages others to join in the scientifi c discourse. The next conference is planned for June 2011 at the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Belgrade. Our goal is to make Media Studies internationally recognized as a scientifi c forum for current, relevant, and original analysis about media and the various forms of com- munication with strict adherence to peer review procedures that will guarantee its continued excellence. We look forward to your contribution!

ABSTRACT The contemporary developments within journalism raise many issues about its future. Work- ing with a rather wide brush, this article looks at some key factors that are shaping journalism at present. The author sketches some general parameters that apply to most Western societies; the perspective draws especially the US, where the crisis has been extensively analyzed. Every national context,

  • Objectivity and Autonomy in the Newsroom: a Field Approach
    OBJECTIVITY AND AUTONOMY IN THE NEWSROOM: A FIELD APPROACH A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Jay F. Gabriel May, 2008 © Copyright 2008 by Jay F. Gabriel iii ABSTRACT Objectivity and Autonomy in the Newsroom: A Field Approach Jay F. Gabriel Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2008 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Paul Garrett This dissertation provides a better understanding of how journalists attain their personal and occupational identities. In particular, I examine the origins and meanings of journalistic objectivity as well as the professional autonomy that is specific to journalism. Journalists understand objectivity as a worldview, value, ideal, and impossibility. A central question that remains is why the term objectivity has become highly devalued in journalistic discourse in the past 30 years, a puzzling development considered in light of evidence that “objectivity” remains important in American journalism. I use Bourdieu’s notion of field to explore anthropological ways of looking at objectivity, for instance, viewing it as a practice that distinguishes journalists from other professionals as knowledge workers. Applying notions of field to the journalistic field through anthropological methods and perspective permits the linkage of microlevel perspectives to macrolevel social phenomena. The dissertation demonstrates how qualitative research on individuals and newsroom organizations can be connected to the field of journalism in the United States. Additionally, it offers insight into why journalists continue to embrace objectivity, even as they acknowledge its deficiencies as a journalistic goal. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to thank dissertation chair Paul Garrett, committee members Jayasinhji Jhala and Carolyn Kitch and outside reader Andrew Mendelson for their guidance.

  • Georgia: Simulating War Or Provoking It?
    Georgia: Simulating War Or Provoking It? By Rick Rozoff Region: Russia and FSU Global Research, March 17, 2010 Theme: Media Disinformation Stop NATO 16 March 2010 On the evening of March 13 Georgia’s Imedi television channel ran a 30-minute prime time “simulated” newscast about a Russian invasion of the South Caucasus nation complete with a report that the country’s mercurial (if not megalomaniacal) president – Mikheil Saakashvili – had been assassinated. The show was aired “by the Imedi TV’s weekly program Special Report, which started just a couple of minutes before 8pm – the time when Imedi TV runs its usual news bulletin Kronika.” (Unless otherwise indicated, all quotes are from Civil Georgia reports of March 14, 2010.) The Special Report’s regular news anchor, Natia Koberidze, opened the program with the words: “Have you ever thought about the end of Georgian statehood? Probably yes, because we have already seen this threat in the summer of 2008.” The reference was to the five-day war fought between Georgia and Russia after the first launched an all-out assault on neighboring South Ossetia on August 8, killing hundreds of civilians and scores of Russian soldiers stationed there. As the Georgian newscaster herself pointed out its significance and as past is assuredly prologue in the current context, some information on the 2008 war in the South Caucasus is justified. The attack itself followed several days of deadly shelling of the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali by Georgian artillery, which in turn followed by one day the completion of the Immediate Response 2008 NATO military exercises which included the participation of 1,200 U.S.

Hubert Smekal, Ph.D UČO: 432430 Study Field: European Politics Year of enrolment: 2014 Brno, 2017 I hereby declare that this thesis is the result of my own independent scholarly work. All references contained within it have been correctly cited and the original authors acknowledged. No material other than that listed has been used. Brno, 2017 Bachana Kuprashvili ………........ Annotation The following paper sets out to make research about the democratization process of Georgia and the attitude of Mikheil Saakashvili’s government towards media. Despite the fact that Saakashvili was the starting point of democratic transition of Georgia, we must highlight the strong censorship and control of media during his presidency. During the presidency of Eduard Shevardnadze who is known to be a non-democratic president, mass media was much freer than during the presidency of Saakashvili who created democratic institutions in the country and according to the many surveys, he was the creator of the first democratic steps in Georgia. The research question of my master’s thesis is: Can Mikheil Saakashvili be viewed as a fully democratic president considering media freedom in Georgia during his presidency? To better understand how the situation in the country has changed in past years, I will also review and analyze

Museum’s website: http://www.ivam.es/en/exposiciones/fake-it-is-not- true- it-is-not-a-lie/ Book in pdf (Spanish): http://www.soymenos.net/FAKE_IVAM.pdf Showroom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUK4eI0wRp4 At the end of 1943, as a result of a request for a visit by the International Red Cross, the SS undertook a programme of beautification of the Theresienstadt concentration camp (an old fortress near Prague), which was carried out by the Jewish prisoners themselves – many of them musicians, composers, poets, film makers, painters or academics – under severe threats: the streets were repaired, the barracks were painted, allotments and rose bushes were tended, grass was sown, a football field was created, and a children’s playground, a music pavilion and a library were constructed. The whole area was marked out with signs indicating the apparent function of the various areas: store, bakery, library, school, laundry, tailor, etc. After visiting the camp, the committee sent by the Red Cross made a favourable public report about the living conditions of the Jews who had been deported to it. In the summer of 1944, taking advantage of the work that had been done to make the camp more attractive, the Nazis ordered the production of a “documentary style” film about Theresienstadt, which was to be sent to various international organisations to convince them of the “virtues” of the camp.
