  • Journalistic Professionalism in Contemporary Russia
    Global Professionalism - Local Professional Identities: Journalistic Professionalism in Contemporary Russia Marija Lobanova This paper explores the interpretation and adaptation of journalistic professionalism in Russia. By analysing professionalism(s) thought journalists own articulation of their practices, it discusses myths, versions of cultural contexts and legitimations of journalists’ social position and social trust-building. Furthermore, it challenges the idea of a ‘global model of professionalism’, by illuminating historical traditions and philosophical patterns, which influenced the development of journalism as a professional practice. When writing this paper I was not even two years into my PhD and have just started my field-research. Since then, I have developed a more focussed approach to my study, a more theoretically underpinned methodology and a more buttress system of argumentation. Nonetheless, I sill hold on to the main idea of this paper –local differences matter. Key words: journalism, professional identities, global practices, Russia 34 Journalistic professionalism is becoming universalised in terms of standardisation of professional ethos as well as the formation of supranational journalistic communities. A predominantly Anglo- American professional value system has been translated into a cross-nationally accepted nodal point of guidance, codex and professional discourse. However professional identities are formed within national contexts, being influenced by local cultures and myths, political ideologies and legislations.

Law, Force, and the Russia Media Abstract Looking at the development of mass media law in post-Soviet Russia is like examining the wrists of a recently freed prisoner where the marks of the chains are still present. The very claims for freedom and the guarantees of change bespeak past injustices and old allocations of power. In the short period that has transpired, issues of law in the defining of communication have already had a dramatic cycle: the rule of law has been followed by the assertion of military force and bloodshed, and force, in its turn, has been followed again by a clumsy reaffirmation of law. Television has been an arena for bitter struggle, political and armed. In this context, the evolution of rules for the organization and governance of the press has reflected changes in political and economic powers in a society seeking definition and stability.

The Criminal Time Bomb: An Examination of the Effect of the Russian Mafiya on the Newly Independent States of the Former Soviet Union PETER DANIEL DIPAOLA" INTRODUCTION In 1989, the Western world celebrated the apparent triumph of democracy and capitalism over communism. Overnight, the "evil empire"' became a potential partner. In fact, some Western thinkers were so overcome that Francis Fukuyama maintained the fall of communism signaled "the end of history."2 Unfortunately, the optimistic predictions of 1989 have not come to pass. The Russian economy has responded slowly to reform.3 Communists and ultranationalists are regaining strength in the Russian government." More ominously, organized crime is threatening to overwhelm Russian politics, economics, and society.

  • News a Tl#-M{W
    Newsletter of the Tacis Information Office November 1995 news a tl#-M{W ~ Giving the people a voice When the Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze escaped death by a hair's breadth in a failed assassination attempt in August, many dismissed the incident as yet another violent episode in the turbulence pervading the Caucasus. Although Georgia may be "only a heartbeat from total anarchy" as reported by ''The Economist", it is by no means the only country where the power struggle is sometimes determined by the sword rather than the pen. The champions of democracy, whether politicians or the media, have been having a hard time of late. The Journalist Safety Service based in Amsterdam reports dozens of journalists in the NIS murdered or attacked for exposing corruption, including the shooting of Vladislav Listyev, the head of Russian Public Television. Violence is not the only way in which the media is compromised. Journalists, like the police, are so badly paid that it is often easier for them to accept bribes, rather than publish and be damned, especially when their families are hungry. But there is some light at the end of the tunnel: the Tacis Democracy Programme has been bringing together journalists and politicians from Georgia and Ukraine to prepare the ground for active cooperation to ensure a free press.

    The Chechen Crisis and the Media NICHOLAS DANILOFF SERGEI A. GRIGORIEV oscow's military intervention in Chechnya has raised the most serious questions Mabout the New Russia. The action has split the Russian body politic, confounded the democratic reformers, caused dissension in the military and security services, and cast President Boris Yeltsin as an authoritarian leader. Only the media have emerged with an enhanced reputation. From the start, the Russian people became disenchanted with the war in Chechnya as they viewed it over television much as Americans became exhausted by the Vietnam war. To them, the war in the Caucasus did not "The most obvious and seem fair, necessary or unavoidable.'

    FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION & IMPUNITY CAMPAIGN CHALLENGING IMPUNITY: A PEN REPORT ON UNPUNISHED CRIMES AGAINST WRITERS AND JOURNALISTS PEN Club de México PROLOGUE The year-long Campaign on Freedom of Expression and Impunity, focusing on unsolved and unpunished crimes aimed at silencing writers and journalists, was launched on November 25, 2002, in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, during a conference of the Writers in Prison Committee (WiPC) of International PEN. Direct actions have been taken throughout the year and culminated with the release of this PEN report on the problem of impunity and a roundtable during International PEN’s 69th World Congress of Writers in Mexico in November 2003. Please visit http://www.pencanada.ca/impunity/index.html. The campaign was led by PEN Canada and found partners in the Writers in Prison Committee of International PEN, PEN American Center and PEN Mexico. Thanks to all who took part.

I have felt it when essential information has been denied that would determine individual criminal responsibility; when judges and witnesses have been threatened; when the lawyers for the accused military officials use the same constitutional guarantees of due process in order to obstruct judicial procedures; and when my family, my lawyers, my colleagues and I have been threatened or been victims of campaigns to discredit us.

  • Human Rights and a Changing Media Landscape
    Chapter 1: Protection of journalists from violence Dunja Mijatović, OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media The right of journalists to carry out their work under safe conditions, without fear of being harassed, attacked, beaten or killed is of paramount importance for freedom of the press and freedom of expression. Hrant Dink, a Turkish-Armenian journalist, was murdered in 2007. People began gathering where he was killed, in front of the Agos newspaper office, and did not leave the place for days. Flowers and candles covered the spot where he fell. The notes say: “Hrant Dink, we will never forget you. We strongly condemn this ugly attack.” Photo © Hrant Dink Foundation. | 21 Summary Although the challenges and dangers that journalists face may differ from country to country, one sad fact holds true everywhere: their freedom to express themselves is questioned and challenged from many sides. Some of these challenges are blatant, others concealed; some of them use traditional methods to silence free speech and critical voices, some use new technologies to suppress and restrict the free flow of information and media pluralism; and far too many result in physical harassment and deadly violence against journalists. The right of journalists to carry out their work under safe condi- tions, without fear of being harassed, attacked, beaten or killed is of paramount importance for freedom of the press and freedom of expression. The aim of this chapter is to draw attention to the critical problems journalists face in their work – and to the responsibilities that we, as officials of international organisations, have to demand of the authorities, to ensure that journalists can work safely.
