The Department in due time became known as Broadcastrommumeation Arts A year ago. the institution became California State University, San Francisco, The City of San Francisco, a principal U. S. gateway to the Pacific, has had a cosmopolitan eharaeter not found in any other American metropolis. As a parallel, educational institutions lueated here reflect that same composition and, in turn, attract foreign students who wish to study in America Over its history of nearly seventy-five years, the University has graduated literally thousands uf students from Asian and uther Pacific countries. These young, incipient world citizens have returned to their home countnes to become leaders in many fields During theii stay on our campus, they were given some insight in international problems and potential solutions Hopefully, giey have used their education ,,restively and constructively in their maturing years and have made gains from an international viewpoint as well. The growth of foreign student population at San Francisco State has nowhere been mure significant than in the field of brbadcasting. The, Broadcast Corrunumeation Arts Department of the University has long held academic leadership in the United States. It has a full-time faculty and staff which is among the largest in the country. There is a student population of five hundred undergraduates and one hundred graduate studepfs. A significant and growing number of these and a heartening proportion (inure than ten percent) arefrom foreign countries. The Department has uicreasingly made its influencefelt 111 commercial, governmental, and educational radio and television in the Pacific Basin through a steady flow of students returning to their homelands with Master's degrees. For thesrand a wide variety of collateral reasons, the attention of the Broadcast Industry Conference was directed in April 1972 to international spheres. Well aware that there already existed an international conference on the East Coast, San Francisco State expanded its efforts in a-principal area of this part uf the world, the wide Pacific, where the University has long felt a special responsibility The theme of the 1972 Broadcast Industry Conference was designated Broadcasting in Pacific Nations. As a point of beginning, representatives from fifty-six Pacific eountnes were invited by President S L Hayakawa to convene for four days, April 19 through April 22, 1972. The roster of nations was all-inclusive rather than selective Member nations of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, the Western Pacific High Commission, the Asian Broadcasting Union, the Colombo Nation's Plan, the South Pacific Commission, and the South and Southeast Asia Telecommunications Network were invited, regardless uf anpolitical affiliation or recognition. While attendance was scarcely expected at that time from North Vietnam, North Korea, or the Peoples Republic of China, the University as a nun puhtn-al. academic institution in pursuit of knowledge, made these countries welcome. Overtures were made tu the U.S.S.R. and Mainland China which one day will be represented at the Conference. The hearty cooperation of the White House, the State Department, and the United States Information Agency was secured. Media representatives at the United Nations were helpful. Changing international relationships indicate that participation of all countries in the Pacific may soon be possible. The attendance at Pacific Nations Broadcasting I was heartening uldeed. A total of 210 participants were registered. This number included representatives of twenty Luuntries. ten uf whom were heads of broadcast segrhents in their own countries. The mingling of American students with professional radio and television personnel, both foreign and Arnenear!, was heartening, profitable. and a realization of a prin,Apal goal of the Conference.

It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: x A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm x The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules x The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules x A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) x A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory x A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and x If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will fin d a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Post-purchase loyalty 31 Looking ahead 33 Contact us 35 Foreword After three decades of economic reform, Vietnam has transformed into one of the most dynamic emerging markets in the Southeast Asia region. This momentum looks set to accelerate in the near-term, as its economy continues to show fundamental strength on the back of strong export demand, and a concerted nationwide push for digital transformation. In this first edition of the Vietnam Consumer Survey, we explore some of the latest consumer behaviour patterns emerging from the results of our survey conducted in the second half of 2019 across 1,000 respondents through face-to-face interviews in four cities: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho, and Da Nang. We have structured this report in a sequential manner to trace the consumers’ journey from pre-consumption to consumption, and finally post-consumption. While it is worthwhile noting that the consumer’s journey may not always follow this linear pattern, what we endeavour to do in this report is to provide you with a more holistic understanding of some of the drivers and motivations behind the Vietnamese consumer’s behaviours. We will begin this journey in the pre-consumption phase, where we take stock of the overall consumer sentiment, and their outlook of the future, before examining their preferred communication channels, and purchasing preferences.

  • Abstract a Case Study of Cross-Ownership Waivers
    ABSTRACT A CASE STUDY OF CROSS-OWNERSHIP WAIVERS: FRAMING NEWSPAPER COVERAGE OF RUPERT MURDOCH’S REQUESTS TO KEEP THE NEW YORK POST by Rachel L. Seeman Media ownership is an important regulatory issue that is enforced by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC, Congress, court and public interest groups share varying viewpoints concerning what the ownership limits should be and whether companies should be granted a waiver to be excused from the rules. News Corporation is one media firm that has a history of seeking these waivers, particularly for the New York Post and television stations in same community. This study conducted a qualitative framing analysis of news articles from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal to determine if the viewpoints expressed by the editorial boards were reflected in reports on News Corp.’s attempt to receive cross-ownership waivers. The analysis uncovered ten frames the newspapers used to assist in reporting the events and found that 80% of these frames did parallel the positions the paper’s editorial boards took concerning ownership waivers.

  • The Linguistic Debate in Chile: Ideologies and Representations of Languages and Multilingual Practices in the National Online News
    The linguistic debate in Chile: ideologies and representations of languages and multilingual practices in the national online news HANNA SLIASHYNSKAYA Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Newcastle University School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences July 2019 ii Abstract Linguistic ideologies, or beliefs about languages and their use, are key to dynamics and changes in language choice, language minorisation and death. Linguistic ideologies, especially those of monolingualism, have long been part of nation-states’ policies (Shohamy, 2006; Fairclough, 2015) despite the prevalence of multilingualism in social domains (Meyerhoff, 2008). Chile, the context of this research project, is a multilingual country with a surprisingly limited amount of language legislation (Leclerc, 2015) most of which focuses on governmental plans to make Chile bilingual by 2030 (Minsegpres, Mineduc and Minec, 2014) and the foreign language education in schools, namely, the teaching of English, the only foreign language taught in public schools since 2010. At the same time, the use of indigenous languages is not regulated, and Spanish is the de facto official language. In view of such laissez-faire regulations of Chile’s linguistic setting, it is crucial to explore public domains beyond language policy to explain the ongoing minoritisation of indigenous languages and the growth of the dominant languages. Thus, this thesis examines how dominant and minoritised languages are represented in popular national online newspapers. The collected data includes 8877 news articles published in ten most widely-read Chilean online newspapers between 2010 and 2016 and containing references to Chile’s local (Mapudungún, Rapa Nui, Aimara, Quechua, Yámana, Huilliche, Qawasqar, Kunza and Spanish) and foreign languages (English), as well as variously labelled multilingual practices, such as bilingualism and multilingualism.
