  • Photojournalism Photojournalism
    Photojournalism For this section, we'll be looking at photojournalism's impact on shaping people's opinions of the news & world events. Photojournalism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (e.g., documentary photography, social documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by complying with a rigid ethical framework which demands that the work be both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists create pictures that contribute to the news media, and help communities connect with one other. Photojournalists must be well informed and knowledgeable about events happening right outside their door. They deliver news in a creative format that is not only informative, but also entertaining. Timeliness The images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events. Objectivity The situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone. Narrative The images combine with other news elements to make facts relatable to audiences. Like a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter, but he or she must often make decisions instantly and carry photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles (e.g., physical danger, weather, crowds, physical access).

  • Bosnia & Herzegovina
    Negative trends associated with the media sphere in previous years persist, such as the media’s low level of professionalism, poor protection and conditions for journalists, a weak and oversaturated media market, an unsustainable public media service, a fragmented media scene, and political influence. BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA 16 EUROPE & EURASIA MEDIA SUSTAINABILITY INDEX 2014 introduction OVERALL SCORE: 2.04 BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) did not show signs of political or economic stabilization in 2013. The governing political parties avoided focusing on substantive reforms and implementing international standards. In April, Ba new political party launched—the Democratic Front, led by Željko Komšić, the Croat member of the B&H tripartite presidency. In the same month, the president of the Federation of B&H, Živko Budimir, was arrested on the accusation of taking bribes to approve amnesties but was released in May due to lack of evidence. In June 2013, public protests in front of Sarajevo’s parliament building and in other cities in B&H highlighted the lack of regulation of citizen IDs for newborns. The citizen initiative across B&H, although holding a promise of revolutionary change, ended as an unsuccessful bid to change politicians’ corruption, inequality, and incompetence. Finally, at the beginning of November, the B&H House of Peoples, in an emergency session and without debate, adopted the proposed amendments and changes to the law on ID numbers. The fact that the protests were organized through online platforms and social media illustrated new media’s growing influence in socially mobilizing the country. However, Serb and Croat parliamentarians framed the protests as an ethnically driven threat to their security and refused to attend parliamentary sessions for several weeks.

    ‘An evaluation of Flickr’s distributed classification system, from the perspective of its members, and as an image retrieval tool in comparison with a controlled vocabulary’ A dissertation submitted for an MA in: Information Services Management London Metropolitan University September 2008 By Samuel Piker Abstract The profusion of digital images made available online presents a new challenge for image indexing. Images have always been problematic to describe and catalogue due to lack of inherent textual data and ambiguity of meaning. Because professionally- applied metadata is not practical for most open, web-based collections a solution has been sought in the form of tags, simple keywords that can be attached to an image by any web user. Together tags form a flat structure known as distributed classification, or more popularly as a folksonomy. This research follows the debate surrounding folksonomies and aims to fill the gaps in understanding of why people tag and how effective they find them for searching, using the photo-sharing website Flickr as the focus. Open-ended questionnaires were sent out to members of the site who use tags, with the opportunity to post comments to an online discussion space. The other key gap identified in the literature is a systematic comparison between a tag-based system and a more traditional controlled vocabulary, to test out the claims made regarding tagging’s suitability for searching and browsing. For this purpose Flickr has been compared with Getty Images using a series of test themes. The small number of people who replied to the questionnaire gave detailed answers that confirmed several of the assertions made about tags: they are accepted despite their flaws (sloppiness and potential for inaccuracy) because they serve their purpose to a satisfactory level.
