These rules cover a wide range of topics such as how a photographer should act while taking pictures, what he or she can and can’t photograph, and whether and how an image can be altered in the darkroom or on the computer.

  • Through the Network (Of Networks) – the Fifth Estate* By
    Through the Network (of Networks) – the Fifth Estate* by William H. Dutton Professor of Internet Studies Oxford Internet Institute University of Oxford *Prepared for an Inaugural Lecture, Examination Schools, University of Oxford, 15 October 2007. I thank Martin Elton, Linda Frankland, Ellen Helsper, Malcolm Peltu and Juliet Webster for their comments and encouragement to discuss this topic. 1 It is an honour for me to present my inaugural lecture to you, and to do so here in The Examination Schools. This is a special place and – as we all know – place matters. Today, I will focus on how – in Internet time and space – users are able to reconfigure their access to information, people and other resources in new ways that are of major significance for society. The Rise of a Fifth Estate in Internet Time and Space In an earlier era, printing was tied to the rise of the press as a major institution. Its subsequent growing role in conjunction with the development of radio, television and other mass media has created an independent institution in many nations, which has become known as the ‘Fourth Estate’. This has become central to pluralist democratic processes. Today I would like to explain why I believe it would not be an exaggeration to argue that a new form of social accountability is emerging in what I am calling the ‘Fifth Estate’. It is enabled by the growing use of the Internet and related information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as the personal computer and World Wide Web. Essentially, the Internet is enabling people to network with other individuals and with a vast range of information, services and technical resources.

  • The Trouble with the Fourth Estate
    The Trouble with the Fourth Estate Axel Bruns, ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation, QUT [email protected] – http://snurb.info/ – @snurb_dot_info Hello. We’re here tonight to discuss the potential for bloggers to become the new fourth estate – which immediately raises two questions: 1) which bloggers? and 2) what do we mean by fourth estate? Let me start with the first. I think we need to be careful not to overclaim on what the role of bloggers in political discourse is, or can be – and I’ve done my research in this field for the best part of the past decade, and am probably as guilty of overestimating the impact of blogging as the next person. When we’re speaking of bloggers as a potential fourth estate, we’re really mainly speaking of the minority of news and political bloggers, and much less so of the majority of bloggers who cover all manner of other themes, from providing updates on their or their company’s professional activities all the way through individuals blogging on themes like sports, crafts, food, or highly personal matters. From the research that we’ve done in the past few years, in Australia there are probably some 200 bloggers who can be said to deal with news and politics on a regular basis – and that’s already starting to include the so- called ‘bloggers’ on the opinion pages of many newspaper Websites, and the commentary feeds of sites like Crikey and On Line Opinion, which are really far more than simple blogs.

  • Our Fourth Estate (H.C
    Our Fourth Estate (H.C. Frisbee and other early editors of local newspapers) By Douglas Shepard / Barker Museum Newsletter (Winter 1997) Over the years in this newsletter we have drawn heavily on material from the Censor as well as from the other newspapers serving our region. But, although we have used these sources, we have never actually focused on them for their own sake. Well, we intend to remedy that grievous lack starting right now. Let us begin, like Alice, at the beginning: the “masthead”. If you are an old-timer here, you are so used to it that you probably do not even hear anything odd when we say the name of our main source, the Censor. But stop for a minute and try and imagine what in the world Mr. Frisbee had in mind when he named it in February, 1821. Was he going to carefully not print what he found objectionable in the news? No. Actually, in naming his paper, he was working within a long and venerable tradition. As the nation states of Europe and the British Isles began to shape themselves – and each other – from the Renaissance period on, the need for information began to grow. Large banking establishments and other important cross-border merchant groups began circulating what we would call newsletters or house organs which quickly became important to others outside the group as well. At the same time, increased literacy and improvements in the printing press encouraged the dissemination of court circulars about the official schedule of the monarch and his/her entourage.

  • Media and Mass Disempowerment of Civil Society in Africa
    The African e-Journals Project has digitized full text of articles of eleven social science and humanities journals. This item is from the digital archive maintained by Michigan State University Library. Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. The Sleeping Dog Cannot Bark: Media and Mass Disempowerment of Civil Society in Africa By Danladi Musa Abstract The concepts of media as the fourth estate and the society's watchdog are popular among communication scholars. However, a consideration of the actualization of this concept is indicative of the media's failing in playing these roles. Very often, the media marginalise and disempower the masses whose causes they ought to promote. If the media were to truly play the watchdog role as the fourth estate, then both the structure and ownership of the media must be reviewed with a view to redressing the imbalances that make them tools for the disempowerment of civil society in Africa. Dr. Danladi Musa teaches at the Department of English, Communication and Media Studies, University of Zimbabwe. 79 Un Chien Dormant n'Aboit pas: Les Medias et le Passage du Pouvoir a la Societe Civile en Afrique Par Dr Danladi Musa Resume Le concept que les medias constituent le quatrieme quartier et le chien de garde de la societe" n'est rien de nouveau chez les specialistes en communication. On remarque, cependant, que les choses se passent autrement en realite, ce qui revient au meme qu'accuser les medias de ne pas jouer leur role comme il faut.

The leadership requirement to define a new Communications reality when guiding transition and complex change is identified. Three reality-defining Mindset truths are drawn from the convergence of leadership and communication theories. First, it is Organizational transition Dialogue not possible to lead without communicating. Second, it is not possible to not communicate. Dialogic Third, it is not possible to communicate without influencing others. Analysis of current DoD Monologue lexicon, principles and organizational design related to communication activities reveals a Monologic technical/monologic mindset. This mindset is evaluated based on the three truths, shortfalls of the mindset are identified, and four concrete leadership actions are proposed to guide a transition to a social/dialogic mindset. Proposed actions include defining a new vision and purpose for the military based on preservation of credibility and trust, creation of a new communication lexicon, creation of universal guiding principles, and revision of doctrine and training to incorporate social-communication thought, theory and practice.
