Wie versprochen gibt es mit der vorliegen- den Ausgabe einen Sonder-Newsletter mit ausschließlich amerikanischen Neuan- kündigungen. Und die sind gleich so zahl- reich, dass es wieder einmal den gewohnten Rahmen von maximal 50 Seiten sprengt. Um Sie jedoch umfassend informieren zu können, war dies unabdingbar. Nicht etwa, dass das ein Problem wäre. Schon gar nicht bei der digitalen Version. Doch die Print- Ausgabe macht jetzt leider Handarbeit erforderlich. Denn unser Kopierer kann nicht mehr als 30 Blatt Papier (das sind genau 60 Seiten) automatisch heften. Nun ja, wir sehen das locker. Ein bisschen kör- perliche Arbeit hat noch niemandem ge- schadet. Um die Auslieferung des Newsletters nicht noch weiter zu verzö- gern und damit die Seitenzahl nicht astro- nomisch hoch wird, haben wir bewusst auf sämtliche Grafiken verzichtet. Dadurch wirkt die neue Ausgabe zwar gestalterisch etwas langweilig, aber der Informations- gehalt ist das was tatsächlich zählt. Und davon ist jede Menge vorhanden.

  • The Finnish Sauna
    CHAPTER 10 The Finnish Sauna If sauna, tar, or alcohol doesn’t help, you are sick to die. —Finnish adage Finns are reverential about the sauna.In the glow of the softly lit wood-lined space, they chat jovially or fall into a comfortable silence. The heat makes one welcome a dip in ice-cold water or a roll in the snow, as improbable as that sounds. Food and drink afterward never tasted so delicious. There is etiquette which has to do with practical and safety questions, but generous Finns will walk you through it. As is their method of rearing children, it’s a window to the Finnish psyche. —Anonymous Finn (quoted in Kaiser & Perkins, 2005) inland is located between Sweden and Russia on the Baltic Sea and has a pop- ulation of 5.3 million. There are 15.4 people per square kilometer in compari- Fson to 31.7 in the United States. With 2 million saunas in Finland, the sauna density is clearly greater than that of any other country in the world, even if most of the saunas are in the countryside where 70% of the land surrounding 60,000 lakes is forested.Finland also extends beyond mainland Finland into the Archipelago Sea with its 80,000 islands, which include the self-governing, Swedish-speaking Åland Islands province. Throughout Finland both Finnish and Swedish are official languages. However, most mainland Finnish-speaking Finns, who have taken obligatory Swedish courses in school, have only limited competence in that language. The sauna began in the forests as a hole in the ground with hot stones and evolved into a small log cabin.The sauna metaphor is functionally and symbolically related to local and nature-focused values and customs.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications COMPETITION AND PROGRAM TYPE DIVERSITY IN THE OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISION INDUSTRY, 1943-2005 A Thesis in Mass Communications by Young Shin Cho © 2007 Young Shin Cho Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2007 The thesis of Young-Shin Cho was reviewed and approved* by the following: Richard Taylor Palmer Chair of Telecommunications Studies and Law Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Matt Jackson Associate Professor of Communications Krishna Jayakar Associate Professor of Communications Lynette Kvasny Assistant Professor of Information Sciences and Technology John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduates Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Competition and diversity are touchstones in media policy, but the relationship between them is not clear despite a great number of studies because even studies dealing with their relationship, did not measure the intensity of competition. This paper investigates the relationship between market competition and program type diversity in the over-the-air television industry. Specifically, market competition is divided into intra-network competition and intra-media competition, i.e. terrestrial television vs. cable TV. Also this paper uses a comprehensive model of program types, with 281 program type categories, which have never been used in previous studies. The results show that program type diversity keeps decreasing over time and intra-network competition has a negative effect on program type diversity. Also, intra- network competition is a more important factor on program type diversity than inter- media competition.

  • CONCEPT, WORD, and PLACE Vilja Oja
    CONCEPT, WORD, and PLACE Vilja Oja As any verbal expression, be it oral or written, is usually addressed to someone, it has to be understandable to the listener or reader. Therefore it is not at all irrele- vant what terms are chosen to express an idea. As we know, a word as such, i.e. a sequence of speech sounds is void of meaning unless created (and used) by a person to express a concept. Luckily, the seekers of the springs of word creation need not wander into the distant past to witness the origins of human language, however exciting the adventure could be. Living languages are in a constant pro- cess of change and development, during which new concepts constantly keep finding their forms of expression. One of the criteria of viability of a new word, proved by its coming into use is its informative aspect. This means that the new word should better have a familiar ring. There are various ways to achieve that: a new object may first be introduced by a foreign term, but as it becomes familiar the foreign word becomes domesticated as a loan word more or less adapted to the phonetic or orthographic system of the target language (e.g. Internet, inter- jöör 'interior' [< Fr. intérieur]); new words can be produced from familiar stems by means of derivation or compounding (e.g. disainima 'to design' [< loanword + Estonian suffixes]; töötlus 'processing' [< the stem word töö 'work']; katla|maja 'boilerhouse'); a notion may also be brought home by a figurative comparison (e.g. võimete tipp lit.
