Whereas the literature on safety of journalists mainly discusses threats as part of armed conflicts, this article studies how other kinds of conflicts such as economic strangulation and the viability threat represent threats against journalists’ work and safety. It argues that acts of intimidation directed against journalists represent an attack on democracy itself as they have the effect of limiting the freedom of expression. The aim of this study is to explore how journalists operate in such a conflict and under such uncertainty, as an implication of (political) pressure caused by the politics of Memoranda in Greece, Cyprus, and Spain. The comparative analysis focuses on possible changes in the processes of message construction and in the journalistic practices of the participants, exploring if, how, and to what extent these changes were imposed to journalists directly or indirectly. Keywords European South; journalists; memorandum; safety; self-censorship; silence Issue This article is part of the issue “Rethinking Safety of Journalists” edited by Kristin Skare Orgeret (Oslo Metropolitan Univer- sity, Norway) and William Tayeebwa (University of Makerere, Uganda).

Harald Fairhair (Harald rfagre), the Viking leader who united Norway around 900, is generally considered to have been the first Norwegian King. Local chieftains continued to rule the country and in the mid-14th century, Queen Margaretha united Denmark, Norway and Sweden in the great Nordic Union. Sweden broke out of the Union after a short while and then the plague swept through Scandinavia, killing all but one of the Norwegian chieftains. The country was left in disarray, and Denmark became the leading nation, eventually reducing Norway to a Danish province. The Union lasted until 1814.

Que plu­ guiese a Dios que viniese de Francia guerras o que duraran las Comunidades para que des­ truiran la Inquisicitn que los tenia echado a perder a todos ••• PEDRO CAZALLA , l A ~JECESSARY INrRODUCTION My attention was drawn to the problem of the revolution of the Comunidades by a chance rereading of the Bible of Hispanic history, Sr. Jaime Vicens Vives' Approaches to the History of Spain (cf. Bibliography). Sr. Vicens notes in his discussion of sixteenth-century r,astil1e that onB of the Itnoble elements" that was IIpruned!l by the rising orthodoxy Vias "the bourgeois ideal in the War of the Comunidades" (p. 97). My suspicions were immediately aroused by this remark, as I have always deferred to J.H. Elliott's characterization of the Comuneros as traditionalist, quasi-feudal reactionaries. A hasty perusal of Elliott (cf. Bibliography) failed to resolve the contradiction: an~ having smelled a rat, I began to do pre1iminarJ research on the Comuneros. I soon found that serious scholarly investigation of the subject had been carried out by only a handful of historians. This is not to say that Spanish historians and other Hispanists had overlooked the Comunidades-- far from the contrary. However, it was quite apparent that the revolt/revolution of the Comuneros was one of those lamen- table historical events which are often commented upon but very rarely under- stood.

ISSN:1696-750 Immigration and Crime in Spain, 1999-20061 César Alonso-Borrego Nuno Garoupa Marcelo Perera Pablo Vázquez October, 2008 Abstract: Crime in Spain is not high, by European standards, but together with immigration, crime rates have increased significantly in the last decade. The goals of this paper are (i) to evaluate empirically the extent to which there is either a negative or a positive correlation between crime and immigration and, (ii) to provide a preliminary assessment of the extent to which a causal mechanism can be identified. We find that both immigrants and natives have contributed to the increase in the crime rate. However, the contribution of immigrants seems to be relatively higher. This result is partly explained by the fact that immigration has contributed to the main increase of the collective of males aged 20 to 50, which are responsible for most offences, and by differences in socioeconomic opportunities between migrants and natives.

  • The Prince and the Pauper : Journalistic Culture and Paralympic
    Journalism For Peer Review https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/journalism Page 1 of 17 Journalism 1 2 3 The Prince and the Pauper: journalistic culture and 4 5 Paralympic Games in the Spanish Print Press 6 7 8 Abstract 9 10 The Paralympic Games are one of the world’s most important multisport events, maybe 11 second only to the Olympic Games. However, research conducted to date shows that the 12 media do not devote as much space to them as would accordingly be expected. This 13 article proposes, through a case study, a new way of approaching this hypothetical 14 discrimination by comparing the attention that the London Paralympic Games received 15 from the Spanish print press with the attention that other sports received (football, 16 basketball, tennis, cycling, motor sports and other minority sports) while those Games 17 were being held. The main finding of our study is that, over the period analysed, the 18 For Peer Review 19 Spanish press devoted less space to the Paralympic Games than to any other sport. 20 21 Keywords : Paralympic Games, journalism, sport, news values, content analysis 22 23 Introduction 24 25 The Paralympic Games are apparently one of the world’s most important multisport 26 events maybe second only to the Olympic Games (Pappous, Marcellini & Léséleuc, 27 28 2011b). An examination of the data on these mega-events is all that is needed to realise 29 this. A total of 204 countries and more than 10,500 athletes and 70,000 volunteers took 30 part in the last edition of the Olympic Games.
