What is a newspaper

Fatima Iftikhar

A newspaper is a periodical publication containing news regarding current events, informative articles, diverse features, editorials, and advertising. It is typically printed on inexpensive paper and covers local and national political events, crime, business, entertainment, society, and sports. Newspapers are funded through paid subscriptions and advertising. They come in daily, weekly, and other frequencies and can have a local, national, or international scope and distribution.

Newspapers and magazines

Rohit Kumar

Newspapers and magazines are major channels for public relations practitioners to distribute publicity. Newspapers influence public opinion and are read widely, while magazines allow targeting of specific interest groups. PR practitioners develop relationships with editors to provide genuine and background information. They place publicity in newspapers through city and specialized editors, and in magazines by contacting editors of relevant departments. Rates for advertising are typically quoted per line in newspapers and by page size in magazines.

The document provides guidance for year 11 students on researching using newspapers from the resource center. It outlines the objectives of understanding newspaper sources and formats. Students will be assessed on completing tasks involving note taking, using the newspaper, periodicals, and referencing. The resource center subscribes to major daily newspapers and keeps back issues. Vertical files and index services like Newscan and Mediascan can help students locate relevant newspaper articles. Students must complete tasks demonstrating their ability to describe article formats, suggest subject headings, and search electronic indexes to pass the research skills assessment.

Evolution of Newspaper

coforbs

The document traces the evolution of newspapers from their origins in ancient Rome to modern publications. It discusses some of the earliest newspaper-like publications including Acta Diurna in Rome in 59 BC, Notizie Scritte in Venice in 1556, and Relation in Antwerp in 1605 as the first weekly printed publication. It then outlines the development of newspapers in various countries and regions, highlighting important publications such as La Gazette in France in 1631, Post-och Inrikes Tidningar in Sweden in 1645, and the Daily Courant in England in 1702. The document concludes by noting how technologies have shaped how newspapers are produced and distributed over time.

Importance of Newspapers

Jasnamajeed111

Newspapers are an important medium for disseminating current news and information to the public. They meet key criteria of being publicly accessible, published periodically, containing up-to-date content, and covering a wide range of topics. While handwritten news sheets predated newspapers, the invention of the printing press in 1496 helped newspapers to develop and proliferate. By the 19th century, technological advances made newspapers more affordable and widespread. Today, newspapers continue to be educational resources in classrooms, providing real-world content to engage students and support learning.

Rose Holley, Special Collections Curator at UNSW Canberra discusses the findings of her research into crowdsourcing based curation. Using the digitised historic Australian Newspapers as an example, she looks at how the functionality and interface was developed in close relationship with the users, and how this led on to text correction of newspaper articles. It is nearly ten years since this pioneering project began and the motivations and achievements of the 50,000 volunteers are examined over this time. She questions how successfully the goal of improving text quality and therefore search has been achieved. She proposes that if a similar project was begun now then artificial intelligence software would be used such as OverProof post OCR correction tool to improve the quality of the text. OverProof has been trained on the manual corrections of the Australian newspaper corpus and trials demonstrate it is able to dramatically improve the quality of the corpus. Volunteer text correction could still continue afterwards for difficult text but the software would do the main donkey work, allowing users to have a better quality search.

Rose Holley

The document discusses improving access to content ("getting") through the Trove digital library catalogue. It outlines users' expectations of being able to access what they discover online and identifies areas where the current system falls short, such as broken links, lack of options to access physical or digital items, or confusion over how to access items. Suggestions are made to better identify options for accessing digital content, provide enrichment data like reviews and ratings, and implement remote access and document delivery services to fulfill users' expectations of a seamless "get it" experience through Trove.

Rose Holley

The document summarizes the digitization process of issues of The Australian Women's Weekly from 1933 to 1982 that were available in the Trove database. Over 400 issues were identified as missing from library collections, with most from 1933 to 1952. Issues also needed replacing due to damage. Efforts were made to locate missing copies, request public help, digitize images, perform OCR and article zoning in India, conduct quality assurance checks, and make the issues freely available online in Trove by topic including content, covers, literature, advertisements, fashion, and knitting patterns.

Rose Holley

Volunteers at cultural institutions can help contribute to Trove, a digital library tool from the National Library of Australia, in several ways: 1) By correcting text in historical newspaper articles related to topics of interest like particular artists. 2) Adding comments and context to records from their own institution's files to provide more background, like describing the contents of artist ephemera files or providing more location details for images. 3) Creating virtual exhibitions, reading lists, or research folders using Trove's list-making feature to showcase their institution's collections online.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?

Speck&Tech

ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune. Partecipate alla presentazione per immergervi in una storia di interoperabilità, standard e formati aperti, per poi discutere del ruolo importante che i contributori hanno in una comunità open source sostenibile. BIO: Sostenitrice del software libero e dei formati standard e aperti. È stata un membro attivo dei progetti Fedora e openSUSE e ha co-fondato l'Associazione LibreItalia dove è stata coinvolta in diversi eventi, migrazioni e formazione relativi a LibreOffice. In precedenza ha lavorato a migrazioni e corsi di formazione su LibreOffice per diverse amministrazioni pubbliche e privati. Da gennaio 2020 lavora in SUSE come Software Release Engineer per Uyuni e SUSE Manager e quando non segue la sua passione per i computer e per Geeko coltiva la sua curiosità per l'astronomia (da cui deriva il suo nickname deneb_alpha).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing

Aftab Hussain

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process. In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds. - These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf

Paige Cruz

Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack. While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack. I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management. The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM). Speakers: Bob Boule Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
