  • The Democratic Ideals Among the Palestinian Journalists by Mats Tiborn
    University of Gothenburg Dept. of Journalism, Media and Communication Master essay in Media and Communication Spring 2011 The democratic ideals among the Palestinian journalists by Mats Tiborn Mats Tiborn 800411-4933 Tutor: Jenny Wiik 1 Abstract Title: The democratic ideals among the Palestinian journalists Number of pages: 72+4 (appendix) Author: Mats Tiborn Tutor: Jenny Wiik Course: Master essay, Media and Communication Period: Spring 2011 University: Dept. of Journalism, Media and Communication, University of Gothenburg Purpose/ Aim: This essay studies the democracy-supportive journalistic ideals among the Palestinian journalists and compare them with earlier studies on journalistic ideals. The essay also studies what shapes these ideals and what holds them back in the journalist's work. Material/ Method: The essay is based upon semi-structured deep-interviews with twelve Palestinian journalists that work for different kinds of media, with different background and in different ages. The interviews are based on theories about journalistic ideals and the relationship between democracy and journalism. Main results: The journalists have great knowledge about the democratic functions within journalism. They are driven by idealism and they work for change in the society. The Palestinian cause weighs the most when the ideal of objectivity is put to the test. A well spread self-censorship is inhibiting the democracy-supportive journalistic ideals from fully work. Though the journalists show an impressive strength to keep up the work in a very dangerous situation. Keywords: Palestine, journalism, journalistic ideals, democracy, the West Bank, Israel, Fatah, Hamas, objectivity, independence, scrutinizing, watchdog-effect, autonomy, self-censorship, Palestinian media landscape, Arab press systems.

After lunch we will hold our meeting in the second floor Con­ ference room near the LSTC library. I am afraid that we have lost sight of many plans over the long summer months so I would like to spend time at this meeting reviewing where we are and what we will be doing during academic year 73/74.

It has been accepted for inclusion in History Faculty Publications by an authorized administrator of CORE Scholar. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Religion and Reform in the City: The Re-Thinking Chicago Movement of the 1930s JACOB H. DORN Historians have produced a rich and sophisticated literature on urban reform in the progressive era before the First World War. It includes numerous studies of individual cities, biographies of urban leaders, and analyses of particular movements and organizations. This literature illu- minates important variations among reformers and their achievements, the relationships between urban growth and reform, and the functional role of the old-style political machines against which progressives battled. Similarly, there are many examinations of progressive-era reformers' ideas about and attitudes toward the burgeoning industrial cities that had come into being with disquieting rapidity during their own lifetimes. Some of these works go well beyond the controversial conclusions of Morton and Lucia White in The Intellectual Versus the City (1964) to find more complex-and sometimes more positive-assessments of the new urban civilization.' Substantially less is known about efforts to reform particular cities and about the ideas and attitudes of urban intellectuals in the interwar years, especially the 1930s.

AN IDEOLOGICAL ODYSSEY: EVOLUTION OF A REFORMER ROB WARDEN* INTRODUCTION When the U.S. Supreme Court narrowly and temporarily struck down the death penalty in Furman v. Georgia in 1972, holding that its arbitrary imposition amounted to cruel and unusual punishment,1 Justice Thurgood Marshall theorized in a concurring opinion that the average citizen, if fully informed of the realities of capital punishment, would “find it shocking to his conscience and sense of justice.”2 The majority’s reasoning resonated with me—as Justice Potter Stewart put it, the death penalty was “so wantonly and freakishly imposed” that it was “cruel and unusual in the same way that being struck by lightning is cruel and unusual”3—but Marshall’s thesis did not.
