The Evolution of Media Development Strategies in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Macedonia from 2000 to 2007 Model Interventions: The Evolution of Media Development Strategies in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Macedonia from 2000 to 2007 Hawley Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Hawley Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Model Interventions: The Evolution of Media Development Strategies in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Macedonia from 2000 to 2007 Hawley Johnson The United States, in cooperation with European governments and international aid organizations, has sponsored the development of independent media as a major component of both conflict interventions and democratization programs, and more recently as part of nation building efforts. This study explores the evolution and export of those dominant democratic media models and their impact on recipient communities in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Macedonia from 2000 to 2007. International donors came to see media development as a silver bullet for democratization efforts to foster freedom of speech, civil society, good governance, as well as an engaged citizenry. Donors and practitioners initially believed that institutions, once established, would function in a specific way, and coupled with assistance to professionalize and commercialize the media sector, would create or at least jump start systems similar to those in the US and Europe. Over the years, policy makers have identified the vital parts of a democratic media system, but what they have failed to fully understand is the dynamic interaction among them. Now, more than fifteen years after the end of the Bosnian war and twelve after the end of the war in Kosovo, numerous assessments by government sponsors and independent evaluators have reported success in achieving fundamental media freedoms in these countries, yet these media sectors have not demonstrated their anticipated transformative power – leaving struggling or dysfunctional organizations in the wake of donor financial retreat. This study argues that media organizations and institutions are trapped between pressures to commercialize and professionalize, which have become conflicting rather than enabling forces when combined with weak economic environments. In each of the countries in this study, a lack of synchronization among reforms, political divisions, and poor economic growth have contributed to a web of interrelated challenges. Despite significant economic reforms, growth and stability have never reached a threshold for systemic change.

It was shortly after the Sarajevo Olympics and spirits throughout the country were high; there were no outward signs of things to come. Upon my return, I wrote my first college paper on workers self-management in Yugoslavia – Tito’s economic model meant to bring a form of direct democracy to the workplace along with brotherhood, unity, and prosperity after World War II. It is somehow fitting that my last academic project (I hope!), this dissertation, is also on Yugoslavia – as it again reinvents itself. The first person I must thank is one of my favorite professors, Dr. Melvin Schlein, a man of extraordinary patience and humor who organized that fateful bus tour and research trip. He opened our eyes to life and ideology in the buffer states and behind the Iron Curtain. He (truly) started his career as a rocket scientist but somehow found teaching political science and herding students around Eastern Europe far more entertaining. I must also express deep gratitude to Dr. Floyd Parsons of Franklin College for “connecting the dots” in his Intellectual History class, and Dr. Anita Mallinckrodt, formerly of American University, for introducing me to the study of communications and for her mentoring in the early years. In 1998 I enrolled in Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, compelled in part by the collapse of Yugoslavia. The Harriman Institute became my second home and I am grateful to the Harriman faculty and staff members (past and present) for all of their support; in particular, John Micgiel and Kevin Hallinan, Radmila Gorup, Andrea Bartoli, and the late Ambassador Warren Zimmermann. I also received a number of grants during that iii period that allowed me to further my research and understanding of ex-Yugoslavia and the role of media in conflict situations; they included the Harriman Junior Fellowship, the Meyers Fellowship, the Pepsico Research Fellowship, a Program Assistant Fellowship, the International Conflict Resolution Summer Fellowship, and the SIPA International Fellowship. From 2000 to 2007, I worked at the Center for War, Peace and the News Media at New York University. I am deeply indebted to my colleagues there who gave me an extraordinary opportunity to work in media development. Thanks to Robert Manoff for his confidence and trust in my abilities and for his intellectual leadership on media and conflict, Carol Sternhell and Mitch Stephens for adopting the programs and continuing to fight for them, and Kim Schulman and John Hernandez for navigating NYU bureaucracy. I must also thank our donors, Kendra Davis at the US Department of State, who oversaw the generous grants which funded many of the programs we implemented, and Mike Henning of USAID for his unwavering support of CIN. Anna Di Lellio has been a source of inspiration and wisdom on media development in Kosovo and murky Balkan politics. She has been extremely generous with her time, reading drafts and providing extensive comments which helped me to strengthen weak areas and clarify others. There were many friends and colleagues who shared their knowledge and experiences throughout my Balkan journey. Drew Sullivan and the crew at CIN deserve recognition for their vision and tenacity, Evliana Berani for her encyclopedic knowledge of the Kosovo media world and her unbounded energy in organizing my research trip, Regan McCarthy for her candor and hours of discussion, and all the journalists and local partners too numerous to mention who gave their time and insights to this research. iv The Columbia Graduate School of Journalism has been the intellectual home for this dissertation for many years. Andie Tucher and Evelyn Corchado deserve special thanks for their patience, guidance, and understanding, and for having my back through this lengthy process. Many of my fellow students provided invaluable feedback during my research, and offered book recommendations and plenty of sound advice. Michael Schudson has been the best advisor any graduate student could hope for. I am indebted to him for continuing to believe I would finish despite endless crises, for his careful reading of many drafts, for his constructive feedback, and of course for his own work – which shaped this dissertation. I hope I have done justice to his comments and his years of tracking me down in the wilds of Vermont. Monique Girard and David Stark, who never gave up on me, I cannot thank enough for having seen me through from the beginning at SIPA, to the chaotic middle, to the final stretch. They have been supportive on many levels over the years, keeping me employed as a research assistant, welcoming me into the CODES seminar, and allowing me to partner with their Center on Organizational Innovation for my USAID research grant, which became the basis for this dissertation. Committee members Richard John and Yasmine Ergas have shown great courage and compassion jumping on board to get me through the defense. I would not even have embarked on this project had it not been for the late and truly great James Carey who lured me into it and was a source of constant inspiration, and whose work

  • Blekner Aldri Gode Tall for Oddernes Menighet Det Har Blitt Skrevet En Del Om Nedgang I Den Norske Kirke
    Nr 1/2 Vår/sommer 2015 ...blekner aldri Gode tall for Oddernes menighet Det har blitt skrevet en del om nedgang i Den norske kirke. Men hvordan står det egentlig til? Og det som kanskje inter- esserer oss mest, er vel det som er nærmest oss – Oddernes menighet. Den store gleden er konfirmasjonstallene. De har vært stabile og høye i flere år. Et annet høydepunkt er at Oddernes øker gudstjenestebesøket. Samtidig ser vi at antall utmeldte var høyt i fjor. Dette har menighetsbladet skrevet om tidligere – selv om antallet utmeldte nok ikke er så høyt sammenlignet med andre menighe- ter i Den norske kirke, så opplevde også vi en del utmeldinger i forbindelse med Kirkemøtets vedtak om å ikke åpne for Mange ønsker å konfrimere seg ekteskapsinngåelse for par med samme i Oddernes og Justvik. Her er to kjønn. Vi registrerer også at dåpsprosenten av årets konfirmanter, Anders har gått ned i forhold til før. Dette er en Bjørnholmen Øvensen og trend vi ønsker å jobbe aktivt for å snu. Vemund Aasemoen Aardal. Foto: Jo Vegard Aardal Daglig leder, Thor Erling Holte, er glad i tall. Og utdyper mer enn gjerne: - I Oddernes var det 102 konfirmanter i år, mens antall døpte i 2000-kullet var 104. 2014 2013 2012 Men så har flere konfirmanter blitt døpt, vi har «byttet» noen konfirmanter med Fri- Medlemmer 8.796 8.686 8.483 kirken, og i tillegg har vi noen fra Lund.

  • Barnehagebehovsplan 2019-2028
    RÅDMANN Barnehagebehovsplan 2019-2028 FOTO: ANDERS MARTINSEN FOTOGRAFER VEDTATT BARNEHAGEBEHOVSPLAN 2019-2028 Sammendrag – situasjonen nå: Etter at antall barn i barnehagealder vokste raskt i en lang periode har kommunen nå vært inne i en periode med noe nedgang i antall barn i alderen 1-5 år. Det er av den grunn verken behov på kommunenivå eller økonomisk handlingsrom for å opprette mange nye barnehageplasser i handlingsprogramperioden. Kravet om full barnehagedekning innebærer at det skal være nok plasser innen kommunen. Barnehagebehovsplanen søker likevel å balansere utbygging på både bydel- og delområdenivå for å gjøre hverdagen best mulig for foresatte og å redusere transportbehovet. Hovedopptaket 2018 var krevende og tok lang tid. Årsaken til dette var knapphet på barnehageplasser i delområdene Justvik og Gimlekollen samt delvis også Mosby og Grim. Dette ble løst ved etablering av tidligere Oddernes barnehage som en avdeling til Bergtorasvei barnehage (16 barnehageplasser), i tillegg ble det etablert en småbarnsavdeling ved Blåmann Steinerbarnehage (12 barnehageplasser) på Lund. Rammebetingelser: Det er en vedvarende utfordring med gjeldende finansieringssystem og rammeverk for øvrig å sikre en balansert barnehagekapasitet i det enkelte lokalområde samtidig som det ikke bør være for mange barnehageplasser i kommunen totalt sett. De økonomiske forutsetningene for barnehagesektoren tilsier at antall barn uten rett til plass skal holdes på et visst nivå ettersom barn uten rett til plass pga. alder ikke finansieres av staten. Det betyr at det ikke bør overetableres barnehager. Overetablering vil også kunne føre til tomme plasser i kommunale barnehager som er kostbart, spesielt dersom ikke bemanningen umiddelbart blir tatt ned slik at den står i forhold til antall barn.

  • Cbos Role in Social Integration of Refugees
    CBOS ROLE IN SOCIAL INTEGRATION OF REFUGEES Case study in Kristiansand, Norway. HIROSHA LAKMALI KALUPE SUPERVISORS Hanne Haaland and Hege Wallevek University of Agder, 2017 Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Global Development and Planning Exploring the role of CBOs in the social integration of refugees. Case study in Kristiansand, Norway. By Hirosha Lakmali Kalupe Supervisors Hanne Haaland and Hege Wallevek This master’s thesis is carried out as a part of the education at the University of Agder and is therefore approved as a part of this education. However, this does not imply that the University answers for the methods that are used or the conclusions that are drawn. University of Agder, 2017 Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Global Development and Planning Abstract The arrival of refugees to European countries have increased with the conflicts around the world. However, the influx of more migrants in search of safety, better lives and work in the developed world continues to create a deep social cleavage. This thesis investigates some commonly neglected dimensions of forced migration and refugee integration. It examines the challenges refugees face in their everyday lives, and how CBOs address the challenges through their social integration programs and activities. Norway has a refugee integration plan and most of the responsibilities of the integration has been given to the municipalities. Municipalities get the support from the civil society, as the refugee integration should be a bottom up plan. The thesis explores the importance of social connections, networks, the trust for increase of social capital for refugees, which helps them to overcome some of the challenges they face in their everyday life.
