SYMBOLS USED IN THE BOOK speaking in pairs & reading and discussing translation and writing activities watching video listening project work 1 material for portfolio UNIT THE PROFESSION I OF A JOURNALIST We all have our likes and our dislikes. But ... when we’re doing news – when we’re doing the front-page news, not the back page, not the op-ed pages, but when we’re doing the daily news, covering politics – it is our duty to be sure that we do not permit our prejudices to show. That is simply basic journalism. Joseph Pulitzer Journalism means the activity of gathering, assessing, creating, and presenting news and information. It can be distinguished from other activities and products by having certain characteristics and practices. Journalism serves many diff erent roles. One of them is to inform the public. Once the journalist reports the information, that information is available to anyone wishing to receive it. Journalism is a hard job distinguished because of its contributions to the public and its impact on the society. In this Unit you will learn about: what people as well as professionals think of the essence of journalism; journalists’ jobs and diff erent types of journalism; skills and qualities that make a media specialist; career opportunities for future journalists; ethics in journalism and ethical challenges journalists confront in their work. You will be able to: make a vocabulary as well as cognitive maps on the topic; describe the benefi ts and diffi culties of journalism as a profession; prepare individual reports on the topic; share your ideas about the future career and explain your choice. STARTER In the encyclopedia of Britannica journalism is defi ned as “the collection, preparation, and distribution of news and related commentary and feature materials through such print and electronic media as newspapers, magazines, books, blogs, webcasts, podcasts, social networking and social media sites, and e-mail as well as through radio, motion pictures, and television. The word journalism was originally applied to the reportage of current events in printed form, specifi cally newspapers, but with the advent of radio, 7 television, and the Internet in the 20th century the use of the term broadened to include all printed and electronic communication dealing with current affairs” (see: https://www. britannica.com/topic/journalism). Oxford Dictionary definesjournalist as a person who writes for newspapers or magazines or prepares news to be broadcast on radio or television. Merriam-Webster Dictionary says that first known use of the notion goes back to 1693 and defines journalist as a person engaged in journalism; especially: a writer or editor for a news medium; a writer who aims at a mass audience; a person who keeps a journal. Many people associate journalism with national newspapers, glossy magazines, or radio and TV broadcasting. The public face of journalism is made up of the reporters and presenters whose bylines and images confront us on the breakfast table, on our journey to and from work, or just before we go to sleep. But behind these journalists are the ground-troops: correspondents, researchers, sub-editors, production staff, photographers, picture editors, cartoonists, gossip columnists and more. Also there are writers for the trade press or for web sites, editors of small circulation consumer magazines, translators, proof-readers, PR staff and others. How would you formulate your own definitions of the terms journalism and journalist? Think them over, write down your own interpretations and then share your ideas with the groupmates. The essence of journalism and journalists goes far beyond the definitions you have studied. Further in this Unit you will find information on what types of journalism are practiced today, what journalism jobs are in demand today, what skills and qualities are required to enter the field, as well as the rules media professionals observe in their activity. But before getting acquainted with this information, look at the following photos. The images below represent some personalities that made a mark in journalism. Do you know them? Find information about these media specialists and share it with your groupmates. Do you have your media icon? 1 2 3 4 TASK 1 Find some information about other world famous journalists as well as the 1 Belarusian ones, prepare short information about them and present the reports to your groupmates.

  • Kyiv, Ukraine: the City of Domes and Demons from the Collapse Of
    Roman Adrian Roman Cybriwsky Kyiv, Ukraine is a pioneering case study of urban change from socialism to the hard edge of a market economy after the Soviet collapse. It looks in detail at the changing social geography of the city, and on critical problems such as corruption, social inequality, sex tourism, and destruction of historical ambience by greedy developers. The book is based on fieldwork and an insider’s knowledge of the city, and is engagingly written. Roman Adrian Cybriwsky is Professor of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, USA, and former Ukraine Kyiv, Fulbright Scholar at the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy. He divides his time between Philadelphia, Kyiv, and Tokyo, about which he has also written books. “Roman Cybriwsky knows this city and its people, speaks their language, feels their frustrations with its opportunist and corrupt post-Soviet public figures Roman Adrian Cybriwsky who have bankrupted this land morally and economically. He has produced a rich urban ethnography stoked by embers of authorial rage.” — John Charles Western, Professor of Geography, Syracuse University, USA “Kyiv, Ukraine is an interdisciplinary tour de force: a scholarly book that is Kyiv, Ukraine also an anthropological and sociological study of Kyivites, a guide to Kyiv and its society, politics, and culture, and a journalistic investigation of the city’s darkest secrets.

This case confirms the existence of sophisticated calculative techniques in pre-industrial societies and adds an argument in the debate about origins of the cost accounting. Management of the Russian state owned monopoly enterprise used the original cost technique not for efficiency reasons but only for pricing and control of material, labour and financial resources. We also investigate the influence of the organizational changes at the Moscow Print Yard on the evolution of its bookkeeping practice for eighty years.

    UÇAR, Seyhan (2020). “Rusya’da Sansürün Ortaya Çıkışı ve I. Petro Dönemindeki Dönüşümü”. Karadeniz Araştırmaları. XVII/65: 63-71. RUSYA’DA SANSÜRÜN ORTAYA ÇIKIŞI VE I. PETRO DÖNEMİNDEKİ DÖNÜŞÜMÜ* Seyhan UÇAR ** ÖZET İnsanın otorite ile olan ilişkisi, her toplumun kendi tarihi sürecinde farklı yollarla gelişmiştir. Bu gelişmeler yazının icadından önce sözel bir belleğin ürünüyken, yazı ile birlikte somut artsüremli niteliğe bürünmüştür. Rusya’da Hristiyanlığın kabulü ile yazılı gelenek ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu geleneğin gelişmesiyle otoritenin etkisi de yazılı kaynaklar üzerine yoğunlaşmıştır. Öyle ki sansür, Rusya coğrafyasında ilk başta dinî otoritenin silahı olmuştur. XVIII. yüzyıl başlarında I. Petro dönemi ile devlet yönetiminin dini otorite ile zıtlaştığı görülmektedir. Bir nevi çift kutuplu yönetim kendini göstermiştir. Erken dönem Rusça kaynaklarda dini metinler üzerinden etkisini gösteren sansür, I. Petro dönemiyle kısmen devletin dünyevileşme aracı olmuştur. Nitekim dini metinler ile ortaya çıkan sansür, I. Petro ile dünyevi bir güce dönüşerek Batılılaşma sürecinde araç olarak kullanılmış ve daha sonraki dönemlerde sistemli hâle gelmiştir. Keza matbaa gelişerek ruhban sınıfının kısıtladığı kaynakların önü açılmış ve kültürel dönüşüm hızlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada Rusya’da sansürün çıkışı tarihsel yönden ele alınarak sistemleşme sürecine girdiği I. Petro dönemindeki dönüşümü incelenecektir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Sansür, Rusya, Rus edebiyatı, Matbaa, I. Petro. THE EMERGENCE OF CENSORSHIP IN RUSSIA AND ITS TRANSFORMATION IN THE AGE OF PETER I ABSTRACT The relationship of man with authority has developed in different ways in the historical process of each society. While these developments were the product of a verbal memory before the invention of writing, they took on a concrete diachronic nature with the writing. Written tradition emerged with the adoption of Christianity in Russia.

    RUSSIA in GLOBAL AFFAIRS Vol. 5•No. 3•JULY – SEPTEMBER•2007 Contents A Time for Life Jackets? Fyodor Lukyanov 5 Putin and Beyond Sovereign Democracy: A New Russian Idea or a PR Project? Andrei Okara 8 ‘Sovereign democracy’ carries two simultaneous messages to Russian society. The first message says that we are a party wielding state power and a sovereign elite, and the sources of our legitimacy are found in Russia, not in the West, like it was during the ‘guided democracy’ of the Yeltsin era. Second, being a power-wielding force, we are the guarantors of Russia’s sovereignty and survival in the context of globalization and other external super-threats. Russia Today: Up the Down Staircase Vladislav Inozemtsev 21 The year 2008 will be problematic because the bureaucratic class is divided. One part of the bureaucracy, which has gained control over substantial assets, is ready in principle to formally change the image of bureaucrats for the status of businessmen. The other part of the bureaucracy, which has recently gained access to state funds, or acts as a parasite on the manage- ment of financial flows, fears any changes. Free from Morality, Or What Russia Believes In Today Svetlana Babayeva 34 The vacuum of ideas, compounded with the insecurity of material status (the Russian market still remains an unpredictable place), makes it impossible to set and fulfill objectives (materialize one’s dreams) or cause aggression or unwillingness to make progress. People have developed the ability to “enjoy the moment”, but the resultant movement lacks both vector and meaning. Russian Federalism and Evolution of Self-Determination Ivan Sukhov 46 The pattern of informal regulation of the relationship between the federal center and constituent territories that has been adopted in Russia now is reminiscent of a decaying ancient Rome that did not feel squeamish about handing over border provinces to barbarian federates.
