  • Being a “Truth-Teller” in the Unsettled Period of Korean Journalism: a Case Study of Newstapa and Its Boundary Work
    Being a “Truth-Teller” in the Unsettled Period of Korean Journalism: A Case Study of Newstapa and its Boundary Work A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Wooyeol Shin IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Giovanna Dell’Orto June 2016 © Wooyeol Shin, 2016 i Acknowledgements Completing this dissertation is a long journey. Faculty, friends, family members, and Newstapa journalists have helped me along the way. I would like to express my gratitude to these people for their support. Giovanna Dell’Orto has been an inspirational adviser to me throughout my graduate years. She is not just my academic adviser but also a truly good friend. She shows me how I can strive to be a good person in the highly stressful, competitive academic field. Without GD’s support, I would never survive in Murphy Hall. I am grateful to have Seth Lewis, Sid Bedingfield, and Jeffrey Broadbent as my dissertation committee members. Seth Lewis is a productive media sociologist and an encouraging reviewer. His research program has guided me to study the sociology of journalism, especially the boundary work of journalists in the changing media environment. Sid Bedingfield provides me with thoughtful feedback on how to extend my research on journalism further. Jeffrey Broadbent has been enormously generous to me. When I found out my outside committee member, he gradly agreed with a big smile, although I had never taken his class before. From him, I learned how to think and ask questions like a sociologist. His specialty of Asian studies, as well as of social movements, also helps me develop research ideas.

  • Information Security for Journalists
    Information Security for Journalists This handbook is a very important practical tool for journalists. And it is of particular importance to investigative reporters. For the first time journalists are now aware that virtually every electronic communication we make or receive is being recorded, stored and subject to analysis and action. As this surveillance is being conducted in secret, without scrutiny, transparency or any realistic form of accountability, our sources, our stories and our professional work itself is under threat. After Snowden’s disclosures we know that there are real safeguards and real counter measures available. The CIJ’s latest handbook, Information Security For Journalists, lays out the most effective means of keeping your work private and safe from spying. It explains how to write safely, how to think about security and how to safely receive, store and send information that a government or powerful corporation may be keen for you not to know, to have or to share. To ensure your privacy and the safety of your sources, Information Security For Journalists will help you to make your communications indecipherable, untraceable and anonymous. Although this handbook is largely about how to use your computer, you don’t need to have a computer science degree to use it. Its authors, and the experts advising the project are ensuring its practical accuracy and usability, and work with the latest technology. Gavin MacFadyen, Director of the Centre for Investigative Journalism By Silkie Carlo and Arjen Kamphuis 1 July 2014: Version 1.01 Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep gratitude to Arjen Kamphuis for his truly brilliant, patient and generous teaching, for his excellent work and for his friendship.

They have noticed several malfunctioning cases to which the requesting party, the USA, represented by Mrs… and the requested party, the British prosecution services and M Assange’s legal team, should respond. Julian Paul Assange appeared before an administrative court ruling on extraditions based on European arrest warrants, and so, not dealing with the facts brought against the defendant. Yet, M Julian Paul Assange is no more under European arrest warrant. In fact, he is not under traditional extradition procedures. If it were the case, Sweden would be concerned, not the USA. Could you thus explain why M Julian Paul Assange is subjected to normal extradition procedures whereas a requesting party is involved and is present at the different hearings ? Could you clarify the type of extradition procedures M Julian Paul Assange is under ? We should be provided with all materials related to M Julian Paul Assange’s extradition case. WJJA.

  • The Documentary Handbook
    The Documentary Handbook The Documentary Handbook takes a thematic approach to documentary, including chapters on the many myriad forms we watch today – from the cinematic releases of Michael Moore to low-budget internet efforts like Video Nation, from ‘shock docs’ to reality television. The Documentary Handbook is a critical introduction to the documentary film, its theory and changing practices. The book charts the evolution of the documentary from screen art to core television genre, its metamorphosis into many different types of factual TV programmes and its current emergence in forms of new media. It analyses those pathways and the transformation of means of production through economic, technical and editorial changes. The Documentary Handbook explains the documentary process, skills and job specifica- tions for everyone from industry entrants to senior personnel, and shows how the industrial evolution of television has relocated the powers and principles of decision-making. Through the use of professional ‘expert briefings’ it gives practical pointers about programme- making, from researching, developing and pitching programme ideas to their production and delivery through a fast-evolving multi-platform universe. Peter Lee-Wright is a documentary filmmaker with 30 years’ experience working for the BBC and Channel 4. He is currently Senior Lecturer in Media and Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London. His most recent writing includes critical overviews of sports documentary and trade union documentary in Encyclopedia of the Documentary Film (2005) and analysis of the changes taking place in multimedia news, notably in New Media, Old News (edited by Natalie Fenton, 2009). Media Practice Edited by James Curran, Goldsmiths, University of London The Media Practice handbooks are comprehensive resource books for students of media and journalism, and for anyone planning a career as a media professional.
