2018 Reisebericht Reisebericht ABC Osaka Die Asahi Broadcasting Corporation strahlt ein regionales Radio- sowie Fernseh- programm rund um Osaka aus. Eingesetzt dafür werden die Frequenzen 1008 kHz (50 kW) sowie 93,3 MHz unter dem Rufzeichen JONR. Gegründet wurde die Station am 11. März 1951 und am 11. November desselben Jahres wurde der Betrieb auf der Mittelwel- le 1010 kHz aufgenommen. Gemeinsam mit der New Japan Broadcasting Company wurde 1955 Osaka Television ins Leben ge- rufen, welches 1959 in ABC Osaka Televisi- on umbenannt wurde. Kurze Zeit später wurden die Radio- und Fernsehstationen unter dem Namen ABC zusammengefasst. Seitdem wurden die Sendekanäle stetig aus- gebaut, u.a. auf das Japan Radio Network, National Radio Network und All-Nippon News Network. Heutzutage wird rund um die Uhr gesendet.

    BAB II GAMBARAN UMUM KOREA SELATAN DAN KOREA UTARA A. Terpecahnya Korea Selatan dan Korea Utara Tragedi dua Korea mulai ketika Perang Dunia II berakhir pada tahun 1945 karena Semenanjung Korea dibagi dua oleh Persatuan Bangsa-bangsa (PBB) yang dipimpin oleh Amerika Serikat (AS) dan Blok komunis yang dipimpin oleh Uni Soviet. Pembangunan Semenanjung Korea ini terjadi tanpa konsultasi dengan Perwakilan Korea dan bertentangan dengan kemauan rakyat Korea. Uni Soviet dan Republik Rakyat Cina (RRC) menanam komunisme dan memberikan berbagai senjata api kepada Korea Utara. Sedangkan AS dan negara-negara Barat mendukung Korea Selatan untuk mengembangkan demokrasi dan kapitalisme. Dengan demikian, Semenanjung Korea segera menjadi “show window”-nya Perang Dingin di Asia Timur selama setengah abad (Seung-Yoon dan Mas’oed, 2007: 114). Perang Saudara antar Korea (Korean War) dipecahkan oleh serangan mendadak pihak Korea Utara pada bulan Juni 1950. Pihak Korea Selatan yang sama sekali tidak menduga serangan itu, sehingga tidak ada pilihan kecuali mundur saja ke arah selatan. PBB segera mengirimkan pasukan sekutu terdiri dari 16 negara ke medan Perang Korea. Kali ini pasukan Korea Utara mundur ke arah utara. Pada waktu itu ratusan ribu pasukan RRC membantu pasukan Korea Utara. Akhirnya kedua belah pihak antara Korea Selatan-pasukan PBB dan Korea Utara- RRC mencapai persetujuan untuk genjatan senjata dan menandatangani perjanjian 32 pada tahun 1953. Perang ini tidak ada yang kalah dan tidak ada yang menang, hanya ada kesengsaraan dan korban. Selama tiga setengah tahun, Perang Saudara antar Korea mengakibatkan jutaan korban manusia dan menghancurkan segala prasarana di Semenanjung Korea. Sejak itu kedua Korea saling memusnahkan satu sama lain.

Introduction II. Institutionalized Networks III. Interlocking Directorates IV. Informal Networks 1. Academic Cliques 2. Diet Cliques 3. “Old Boys’” Networks 4. Marriage Ties V. Conclusion I. Introduction Networks are of distinctive importance for the communication and the coordination of interests within each elite configuration. The concept “network” implies an image of individu- als tied together with (visible and invisible) bonds and knitted into a mesh of connections (Scott 1990b: ix). The impact, which elites might exercise is magnified several times if each individual group is connected through network ties to influential leaders outside their sphere of influence. In other words, the more tightly woven the network relationships within the elite, the more easily consensus on conflicting issues can be sustained. We can distinguish between institutionalized networks, networks created by interlocking directorates and informal networks such as academic cliques or family bonds that tie the elite together and serve to maintain their unity. The administrative system establishes institutional- ized networks to provide the various interest groups with o$cial channels of communication. When specific persons hold two or more positions in di#erent sectors, so becoming multiple position holders and creating “interlocks” between sectors, we refer to a network of interlock- ing directorates.

  • Freedom of the Press 2008 Draft Country Reports
    www.freedomhouse.org Freedom of the Press 2008 Draft Country Reports Embargoed for April 29, 2008 Afghanistan Status: Not Free Legal Environment: 21 Political Environment: 30 Economic Environment: 20 Total Score: 71 As the media environment has continued to grow and diversify, journalists faced rising threats in 2007, mostly in the form of physical attacks and intimidation. Article 34 of the new constitution, passed in January 2004, provides for freedom of the press and of expression. A revised 2005 Press Law guarantees the right of citizens to obtain information and prohibits censorship. However, it retains broad restrictions on content that is “contrary to the principles of Islam or offensive to other religions and sects” and “matters leading to dishonoring and defaming individuals.” It also establishes five commissions intended to regulate media agencies and investigate complaints of misconduct; one of the commissions has the power to decide if journalists who contravene the law should face court prosecution or a fine. Critics of the law have alleged that its prohibition of “anti-Islamic” writings is overly vague and has led to considerable confusion within the journalistic community on what constitutes permissible content. Amendments to the media law proposed in May 2007 could give authorities greater control over content and include vague prohibitions on defamation; these were opposed by local journalists and the proposal had been withdrawn by the government by year’s end. Media outlets are occasionally fined or given warnings for broadcasting “un- Islamic” material or offending local culture. Cases of journalists and others being arrested on blasphemy charges have had a chilling effect on press freedom, with an accompanying rise in self-censorship.

  • The Role and Management of Public Service Broadcasting As Part of the Regional/Local Media Landscape – Comparative Analyses Between Japan’S NHK and the UK’S BBC
    Keio Communication Review No. 35, 2013 The Role and Management of Public Service Broadcasting as part of the Regional/Local Media Landscape – Comparative Analyses between Japan’s NHK and the UK’s BBC By Yoshiko NAKAMURA* Introduction The last ten years have seen a sea change in the world of broadcasting, ranging from the digitalization of terrestrial television broadcasting, the spread of the Internet to the use of digital devices ever more diverse and sophisticated. Much has been debated and reexamined concerning a changing role expected of public service broadcasting, how it should adapt to digital-age challenges and what fresh services it could offer. In Europe, the history of development of broadcasting services was primarily guided by public service broadcasters, while, in Japan, the NHK, Japan’s public service broadcasting, has led the way by breaking new ground with Hi-Vision and data broadcasting services, both of which were built on the basis of expertise refined over many years. In both Europe and Japan, the legal framework, ‘convergence law’, was put in place in order to accommodate emerging telecommunications technologies, network architecture and a flexible migration of content across multiple platforms. At the same time, the unchanging philosophy of universality has continued to be upheld and reaffirmed; ‘Information, education and entertainment for all.’ Hence various new services, offered in accordance with the spirit of duty as a public service broadcaster. TV programmes are now offered via telecommunications networks, enabled by advances in digital technology. TV contents are made accessible on a video-on-demand basis.
