The driving forces behind these associations were Catholic families who saw that human values, spirituality, solidarity and even democracy were threatened by the commercial evolution of the media. The idea to merge both organisations had surfaced in the 1960s and from then on more and more common meetings were held. It became clear that they were dealing with the same issues, problems, institutions and people. At the same time, the big media corporations started to integrate radio, press, television and film in multimedia enterprises. By the 1980s they controlled almost every aspect of the media, often for the well-being of their stockholders rather than their audiences. Even public media followed their (commercial) policy. Educational and citizen awareness programmes were often skipped in favour of entertainment. The multimedia groups became global, at the cost of cultural diversity. The foundation of SIGNIS in 2001 reflected the desire of Catholic communicators to have an organisation which could represent them at a global level to defend human values in the 21st century. Today, as the media landscape is once again reshaped by the emergence of Internet, mobile phones and ‘new’ media, the multimedia companies face a new challenge. It is a challenge that SIGNIS and its members must also take up, in dialogue with all those who want a value-orientated media world. n A New Media Landscape Bonne lecture...

    DOING GOD'S WILL The language of Jeremi- ah as he addresses his yearnings to God--he says, "You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be duped" (Jeremiah 20:7)--indicates a close and personal relation- ship with God. It is one the prophet obviously cherishes despite the derision and reproach it brings him. In the Gos- pel, Jesus indicates a similar bond with his Father. In spite of the difficult challenges pre- sented by following God's will, Jesus is not deterred. Giving up our own worldly cares and dreams, even as we ac- cept pain and suffering, is more than a fair ex- change for doing the will of God. The only way to do God's will is offer our whole selves to God.

  • The Polish Paradox: from a Fight for Democracy to the Political Radicalization and Social Exclusion
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article The Polish Paradox: From a Fight for Democracy to the Political Radicalization and Social Exclusion Zofia Kinowska-Mazaraki Department of Studies of Elites and Political Institutions, Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Polna 18/20, 00-625 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] Abstract: Poland has gone through a series of remarkable political transformations over the last 30 years. It has changed from a communist state in the Soviet sphere of influence to an autonomic prosperous democracy and proud member of the EU. Paradoxically, since 2015, Poland seems to be heading rapidly in the opposite direction. It was the Polish Solidarity movement that started the peaceful revolution that subsequently triggered important democratic changes on a worldwide scale, including the demolition of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of Communism and the end of Cold War. Fighting for freedom and independence is an important part of Polish national identity, sealed with the blood of generations dying in numerous uprisings. However, participation in the democratic process is curiously limited in Poland. The right-wing, populist Law and Justice Party (PiS) won elections in Poland in 2015. Since then, Poles have given up more and more freedoms in exchange for promises of protection from different imaginary enemies, including Muslim refugees and the gay and lesbian community. More and more social groups are being marginalized and deprived of their civil rights. The COVID-19 pandemic has given the ruling party a reason to further limit the right of assembly and protest. Polish society is sinking into deeper and deeper divisions.

Kareithi Associate Professor of Communications Chair of Communications Graduate Program Catherine Rios Associate Professor of Communications Communications Graduate Faculty *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT Strategic misinformation is an unavoidable term when addressing the relationship between politics, democracy and mass media in the 21st century. Deliberate propaganda has a long trajectory in our history, and it has existed as long as media has been essential for those in power to represent their interests to large audiences. This thesis analyzes the role of strategic misinformation in mediatized democracies of current times, considering cognitive bias as a crucial element that is highly exploited during the creation of systematic and targeted messages that are spread over internet and social media. Also, the research investigates how strategic misinformation may be an incidental factor in certain population groups when they decide to be part of democratic processes. Religion and the diaspora in the U.S. are two important factors for Latino and Hispanic voting decisions and interaction with news. In the theoretical framework, this thesis emphasizes in post- truth and truth from a Foucauldian approach, cognitive bias and propaganda.
