  • Measurement Issues and the Relationship Between Media Freedom and Corruption
    Measurement Issues and the Relationship Between Media Freedom and Corruption By Lee B. Becker University of Georgia, USA ([email protected]) Teresa K. Naab Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien, Hannover, Germany ([email protected]) Cynthia English Gallup, USA ([email protected]) Tudor Vlad University of Georgia, USA ([email protected]) Direct correspondence to: Dr. Lee B. Becker, Grady College of Journalism & Mass Communication, University of Georgia, 120 Hooper St., Athens, GA 30602 USA Abstract Advocates for media freedom have consistently argued that corruption goes down when journalists operating in a free media environment are able to expose the excesses of governmental leaders. An evolving body of research finds evidence to support this assertion. Measurement of corruption is a complicated undertaking, and it has received little attention in this literature. This paper focuses on perceptual measures of corruption based on public opinion surveys. It attempts to replicate the finding of a negative relationship between media freedom and corruption using multiple measures of media freedom. The findings challenge the general argument that media freedom unambiguously is associated with lower levels of corruption. Presented to the Journalism Research and Education Section, International Association for Media and Communication Research, Dublin, Ireland, June 25-29, 2013. -1- Measurement Issues and the Relationship Between Media Freedom and Corruption Advocates for media freedom have consistently argued that corruption goes down when journalists operating in a free media environment are able to expose the excesses of governmental leaders. Indeed an evolving body of research finds evidence of a negative relationship between media freedom and level of corruption of a country even when controlling for several other political, social and economic characteristics of the country.

  • Introduction
    Introduction: By Malkhaz Erkvanidze Georgian Chant, the Gelati Monastery Chant School, Liturgical Chant for the Twelve Immovable Feasts and the Twelve Celebrations of Our Lord, [Ts’inasit’qvaoba: Kartuli Galoba, Gelatis skola, Tormet’ Sauplo da Udzrav Dghesasts’aulta Sagaloblebi, Meore T’omi, Tbilisi, 2006] Volume II, 2nd Edition, Tbilisi, 2006 This volume continues a series of Georgian chant publications intended to revitalize the medieval chant tradition. The first in the series was published in 2000 and includes the basic required chants for the All-Night Vigil and Divine Liturgy. This second collection contains the basic chants of the Twelve Great Feasts and the Immovable Feast Days, but unfortunately does not include the full breadth of chants from the Feast Days of other saints. The chants in both of these publications are in the Sada Kilo (‘Plain Mode’) and Namdvili Kilo (‘True-Simple Mode’),1 and originate from the medieval school of chant at the Gelati Monastery.2 In our opinion, the Sada Kilo chant from the Gelati and Martvili Monastery schools is the most suitable for church services, as it combines a masterful balance of text and melody. Georgian chant is believed to have originated in the Tao-Klarjeti region between the seventh and tenth centuries (present day NE Turkey)3 from where it spread to the major monastery-academies throughout Georgia. Chant flourished at the academy of Iqalto in far eastern Georgia, the Gelati academy in the Kutaisi region, and Martvili (Chqondidi) Monastery. During the eleventh and twelfth centuries, chant was unified in the school of hymnography at the Gelati Monastery, which was among the leading spiritual and educational centers of the world at that time.

  • Beyond Social Democracy in West Germany?
    BEYOND SOCIAL DEMOCRACY IN WEST GERMANY? William Graf I The theme of transcending, bypassing, revising, reinvigorating or otherwise raising German Social Democracy to a higher level recurs throughout the party's century-and-a-quarter history. Figures such as Luxemburg, Hilferding, Liebknecht-as well as Lassalle, Kautsky and Bernstein-recall prolonged, intensive intra-party debates about the desirable relationship between the party and the capitalist state, the sources of its mass support, and the strategy and tactics best suited to accomplishing socialism. Although the post-1945 SPD has in many ways replicated these controversies surrounding the limits and prospects of Social Democracy, it has not reproduced the Left-Right dimension, the fundamental lines of political discourse that characterised the party before 1933 and indeed, in exile or underground during the Third Reich. The crucial difference between then and now is that during the Second Reich and Weimar Republic, any significant shift to the right on the part of the SPD leader- ship,' such as the parliamentary party's approval of war credits in 1914, its truck under Ebert with the reactionary forces, its periodic lapses into 'parliamentary opportunism' or the right rump's acceptance of Hitler's Enabling Law in 1933, would be countered and challenged at every step by the Left. The success of the USPD, the rise of the Spartacus move- ment, and the consistent increase in the KPD's mass following throughout the Weimar era were all concrete and determined reactions to deficiences or revisions in Social Democratic praxis. Since 1945, however, the dynamics of Social Democracy have changed considerably.

  • Further Deterioration of Media Freedoms and Freedom of Expression
    Monitoring of Media in Republic of Macedonia REPORT No. 1 - 2013 MEDIA MIRROR FURTHER DETERIORATION OF MEDIA FREEDOMS AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION FEBRUARY 2013 “Media Mirror” Program is implemented with financial support from Foundation Open Sociey-Macedonia. 1. Introduction and Methodology The NGO Info-centre, with financial support from the Foundation Open Society Macedonia (FOSM), under the auspices of its "Media Mirror" programme, implements monitoring of media reporting on issues and topics related to media freedoms and freedom of expression. This report covers the period from January 1 to February 6, 2013. The monitoring included the following media: seven daily newspapers ("Utrinski vesnik”, “Dnevnik”, “Vest”, “Večer“, "Nova Makedonija”, “Fokus” and “Den”), the central news programmes aired by seven television stations that broadcast nationally or over the satellite (24 Vesti TV, Kanal 5 TV, Sitel TV, Telma TV, MTV1, Alfa TV and AlsatM TV), and six internet news portals (Sky.mk, MKD.mk, Libertas.mk, Plusinfo.mk, Kurir.mk and A1on.mk). The monitoring was conducted daily, depending on the actual coverage of events and topics related to media freedoms and freedom of expression in the media. The monitoring applied contents analysis of published journalistic articles and broadcast stories and reports. 2. Key Findings The events that transpired in January and the first week of February of this year, related to the media scene in the Republic of Macedonia, as well as the analysis of the contents of media coverage of those events and developments, indicate a continued deterioration of media freedoms and freedom of expression in the country. Pressures, Threats and Harangues Directed at Critical Media and Journalists The types, scope and frequency of events during the short period of time covered by this analysis indicate that: The media and journalists critical of the Government are under constant pressure of the Government; the censorship is gaining in intensity while self- censorship becomes an everyday occurrence and a regular practice.

  • Rundbrief 4 311009
    Wir brauchen die SPD zurück für die Verteidigung der Lebensinteressen der ArbeitnehmerInnen und Jugend! Liebe Genossinnen und Genossen, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, Die selbsternannte Führungsriege tourt durchs Land. Ihr Credo ist eindeutig: „Wir blicken auf elf Jahre zurück, in denen wir in Deutschland erfolgreich Regierungsverantwortung wahrgenommen haben“, (Leitantrag für den Parteitag in Dresden). „Erfolgreich“? Für wen? „Doch nach dem Wahldesaster sind die Genossen schwer zu beruhigen. Vor allem die Rente mit 67 und Hartz IV bringen die Gemüter in Wallung“, resümiert die heutige RP eine der Veranstaltungen von Nahles/Gabriel. Kein Wunder: Mit diesem „Weiter so“ ist kein Neuanfang denkbar. Deshalb ist es richtig, wenn Genossen wie Uli Kissels sagen, sie werden die SPD „nicht diesen Leuten überlassen“. Denn angesichts der Landtagswahl in NRW stellt sich die zentrale Frage, die die Genossen Frey und Paternoga aufwerfen: Wie können wir als Sozialdemokraten und Gewerkschafter eine schwarz-gelbe Regierung mit einer SPD-Führung bekämpfen, die selbst die Voraussetzungen dafür geschaffen hat, dass Merkel/Westerwelle jetzt zu den brutalen Schlägen ausholen können? Eine Frage, die auch am 8.11. in Kassel diskutiert werden muss. Wir drucken die Einladung nachfolgend ab. Schließlich veröffentlichen wir den Brief von Andrea Ypsilanti, die eintritt für die „programmatische Neufundierung sozialdemokratischer Politik“ und einen Artikel von Hermann Scheer, der eine „selbstkritische Bestandsaufnahme über die Inhalte und die Methoden der SPD-Politik

  • Acceptance and Rejection of Foreign Influence in the Church Architecture of Eastern Georgia
    The Churches of Mtskheta: Acceptance and Rejection of Foreign Influence in the Church Architecture of Eastern Georgia Samantha Johnson Senior Art History Thesis December 14, 2017 The small town of Mtskheta, located near Tbilisi, the capital of the Republic of Georgia, is the seat of the Georgian Orthodox Church and is the heart of Christianity in the country. This town, one of the oldest in the nation, was once the capital and has been a key player throughout Georgia’s tumultuous history, witnessing not only the nation’s conversion to Christianity, but also the devastation of foreign invasions. It also contains three churches that are national symbols and represent the two major waves of church building in the seventh and eleventh centuries. Georgia is, above all, a Christian nation and religion is central to its national identity. This paper examines the interaction between incoming foreign cultures and deeply-rooted local traditions that have shaped art and architecture in Transcaucasia.1 Nestled among the Caucasus Mountains, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, present-day Georgia contains fewer than four million people and has its own unique alphabet and language as well as a long, complex history. In fact, historians cannot agree on how Georgia got its English exonym, because in the native tongue, kartulad, the country is called Sakartvelo, or “land of the karvelians.”2 They know that the name “Sakartvelo” first appeared in texts around 800 AD as another name for the eastern kingdom of Kartli in Transcaucasia. It then evolved to signify the unified eastern and western kingdoms in 1008.3 Most scholars agree that the name “Georgia” did not stem from the nation’s patron saint, George, as is commonly thought, but actually comes 1 This research addresses the multitude of influences that have contributed to the development of Georgia’s ecclesiastical architecture.
