Newspapers can cover wide variety of fields such as politics, business, sport and art and often include materials such as opinion columns, weather forecasts, reviews of local services, obituaries, birth notices, crosswords, editorial cartoons, comic strips, and advice columns. Most newspapers are businesses, and they pay their expenses with a mixture of subscription revenue, newsstand sales, and advertising revenue. The journalism organizations that publish newspapers are themselves often metonymically called newspapers. Newspapers have traditionally been published in print (usually on cheap, low- grade paper called newsprint). However, today most newspapers are also published on websites as online newspapers, and some have even abandoned their print versions entirely. Newspapers developed in the 17th century, as information sheets for businessmen. By the early 19th century, many cities in Europe, as well as North and South America, published newspapers.

    Conflict Studies Research Centre Russi an Series 06/47 Defence Academy of the United Kingdom Where Have All the Soldiers Gone? Russia’s Military Plans Versus Demographic Reality Keir Giles Key Points * Russia intends to halve the term of conscription into the armed forces from two years to one in 2008, while retaining the overall size of the forces. * This implies doubling the number of conscripts drafted each year, but demographic change in Russia means there will not be enough healthy 18-year-olds to do this. * A number of grounds for deferral of conscription are to be abolished, but this will still not provide anything like enough conscripts. * Recruitment and retention on contract service appear insufficient to fill the gap. * The timing of the change-over to one-year conscription threatens major disruption and upheaval in the armed forces, at or around the time of the 2008 presidential election.

Print editions of papers have experienced stagnation and decline over the past several decades and today face an increasingly complex media environment, and as a result there is the potential for them to be rendered obsolete. Competition with technology based media, or technomedia, is the primary catalyst for this decline. Through a combination of background research

    Alternative Media As Critical Pedagogical Intervention Against Neoliberalism and Racism

    D E M O C R A T I C C O M M U N I Q U É Alternative Media as Critical Pedagogical Intervention Against Neoliberalism and Racism Emil Marmol The corporate news media serves as the primary instrument by which the ideologies of neoliberalism and racism are transmitted and solidified in the public mind. In contrast, alternative news media provides counter-hegemonic content that disrupts corporate media messages. This paper calls for a transformative and revolutionary pedagogical intervention encouraging educators to fuse alternative media content with a critical media literacy framework in their classrooms. It provides examples of how to facilitate the introduction of alternative news into the curriculum to challenge and break classist and racist frames that are reproduced by the corporate media. Keywords: Alternative media; Critical Pedagogy; Race; Class; Neoliberalism Marmol, Emil (2018). Alternative Media as Critical Pedagogical Intervention Against Neoliberalism and Racism, Democratic Communiqué, Vol. 27. 2018 pp. 24–35. Marmol | Alternative Media 25 his paper calls for a critical pedagogical intervention, encouraging educators to fuse alternative media content with a critical media literacy framework in their classrooms. This intervention wil will facilitate an introduction of alternative news into the curriculum as a transformative and revolutionary pedagogy (Funk, Kellner, and Share 2015; Leban and McLaren 2010). Under the neoliberal paradigm, youth are facing a bleak world in which the state has abdicated its responsibilities to them (Giroux 2008, 2017), and where political decision-making power is exercised almost exclusively by corporations and economic elites (Gilens and Page 2014). Young people have limited economic and social opportunities.

While providing a brief overview of the practices of electoral coverage by Ukrainian media throughout last decade, the paper specifically addresses the most recent presidential election campaign of 2009-2010 as a case study. The paper presents the results of news monitor- ing, outlining major trends in media coverage of election campaigns in Ukraine. The problem of paid-for coverage and its implications for the development of media system in Ukraine are discussed. 1 Daria Orlova is PhD Student at the Kyiv Mohyla School of Journalism. 96 Orlova: Standards of Media Coverage of Elections in Ukraine Daria Orlova Standards of Media Coverage of Elections in Ukraine 1. Introduction The issue of electoral coverage by mass media is widely addressed by media and communication scholars, both in terms of conceptualisations and empirical research. This is largely explained by the fact that that the mass media are viewed as important actors in the political life of societies and contribute to shaping public perceptions.
