The document discusses the use of new media by digital communities to document the political turmoil in Madagascar between 2007-2009. Key points include: - The crisis stemmed from a land deal, closing of a TV station, and poverty. It was debated whether it was a coup or transfer of power. - New media was used to document human rights violations like shootings of civilians and repression of protests, which major media did not fully report on. Social media helped track events in real time. - Challenges included a limited number of contributors concentrated in cities, issues with verifying information, and costs limiting broader participation. Lessons centered on expanding contributor networks and awareness of citizen documentation efforts.

Central African Republic
The Central African Republic has experienced significant political instability and violence. After gaining independence from France in 1960, the country endured several dictatorships and military governments. It currently has weak government institutions and four main groups - the government, rebel groups, bandits, and outside armies - target civilians. The country's isolation, poverty, and lack of infrastructure have been exacerbated by ongoing civil conflicts. International intervention has had limited success in reducing violence in CAR and the broader region. Long term solutions require political reforms, economic development, education, and greater international engagement.
Mm ch 11 news
This document discusses the history and current state of television news. It covers 6 trends in the news industry, including cutbacks affecting coverage and digital advertising outpacing news revenue. It also provides a brief history of electronic news from early radio to the development of cable news networks. Additional sections discuss understanding the news industry, including the roles of anchors and correspondents, as well as controversies over perceived biases in news reporting and the influence of entertainment values.
US media system
The US has the heaviest television viewership in the world at 5 hours per day. It also has high radio listenership. The media system is mostly privately owned by wealthy individuals and large corporations. There is no direct government control of newspapers but the broadcast media is regulated by the FCC. Studies have shown political bias in mainstream media with Republican sources favored over Democrats and a lack of diversity among sources. Journalism education began at the University of Missouri in 1908.
human rights issues - a case study of sri-lanka
This document outlines the history of human rights issues in Sri Lanka between independence from Britain and the end of the civil war in 2009. It discusses the origins of tensions between the Tamil minority and Sinhalese majority, the emergence of the LTTE militant group, and a timeline of human rights abuses committed by both the government and LTTE, including killings, disappearances, and denial of basic freedoms. While both sides accuse the other of violations, the document notes ongoing ethnic tensions and a lack of accountability for wartime crimes in Sri Lanka.
Media in the usa
The United States has a democratic system of government with shared powers between the president, Congress, and judiciary. It has two dominant political parties and 50 individual states. Six major corporations control 90% of the country's media. Freedom of speech is strongly protected by the First Amendment, though technology and online behavior are challenging censorship debates. Government surveillance of citizens and the Edward Snowden case have raised issues around privacy and national security.
Media In The Usa
The United States has a large media industry that includes television, radio, film, newspapers, magazines, and websites. However, ownership has become highly concentrated, with just six corporations now controlling around 90% of media outlets. This level of consolidation has led to concerns about the loss of local media voices and diversity of views, as well as increased potential for bias. While the US media industry is large and influential globally, its press freedom ranking has dropped in recent international assessments.
Post-WWI Cultural Conflicts
Prohibition had unintended consequences on society such as increased bootlegging and the rise of organized crime led by figures like Al Capone. Racial tensions increased after WWI with race riots in several cities. The Scopes Trial in 1925 was a highly publicized court case that pitted religious fundamentalism against the teaching of evolution in schools. The resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s targeted minorities, immigrants, and others as its membership grew to over 4 million. Efforts like the NAACP and Garvey Movement worked to advance civil rights but discrimination continued.

The history of meteorology began with simple observations of the sky mentioned in the Bible. The invention of instruments like the barometer and thermometer in the 1600s allowed for more accurate measurement of atmospheric conditions. Today, weather is studied through various instruments and the use of satellites, radar, and computer modeling to analyze data and improve forecasting. Meteorology has developed from early observations to an advanced scientific field utilizing complex technologies.
The environment and green jobs
This document discusses labour unions and their potential role in building a sustainable green jobs agenda. It argues that labour organizations must be central to meaningful political and economic shifts towards fusing labour and environmental sustainability. The document outlines some of the theoretical issues underlying tensions between labour and environmental interests under capitalism. Specifically, it discusses how capitalism's growth-oriented and competitive nature generates conflict with ecological sustainability goals. This demonstrates the important role unions could play in transitioning to a more environmentally sustainable future.
The 50’s & the beginning of the cold war1
Truman became president in 1945 after FDR's death and faced challenges both at home and abroad related to demobilization after WWII. As tensions grew between the US and USSR, Truman adopted a containment policy to halt the expansion of Soviet influence by providing economic, political, and military assistance to countries threatened by communism. This policy of containment stood in opposition to appeasement of the Soviet Union and helped define America's role in the emerging Cold War.

The document discusses social control of media after the 2010 Chilean earthquake. It finds that media coverage of lootings increased fear and chaos. This influenced approval of military intervention and curfews. Journalists emphasized criminal acts over disaster impacts. While media provided needed information, it also exaggerated threats and unrest. This social control was possible due to media being the main information source, lack of authorities, and public fear and insecurity after the disaster.
UK's Exit from the EU: BREXIT
1. The Brexit referendum was called by Prime Minister Cameron to appease Eurosceptic MPs, not expecting Leave to win. Neither side had plans for the outcome.
2. While some were critical of EU features, Remain supporters believed the UK would retain EU problems and create new ones by leaving.
3. The Leave vote was driven by misinformation, economic disaffection especially in peripheral areas, and an English delusion of lost empire grandeur. However, the results will damage the UK economy and influence.
4. A quick US trade deal is unlikely to offset EU trade losses. The US prioritizes "America First" and would exploit a weak UK position. Overall Brexit has left the
Comms 351 Lecture 2
There is a universal human need to receive and share information. People are willing to kill and risk death for information, and governments battle to control information flows. Journalists regularly risk their lives to report news, with many killed each year, often ordered by government officials. New technologies are changing how information is shared and controlled. The ability to access and spread information freely can empower people and topple oppressive regimes, but some governments severely restrict information to maintain power and control narratives. The fight over information access and flows is ongoing both globally and within nations.
Oleg Naumenko - Crisis & Military Communications in Ukraine-Russia conflict
Why Facebook and Twitter can be as effective as a military jet or a machine gun during the war? How to promote an image of a brave, competent soldier and not to delve into mindless militarism? What are the realities of a "hybrid war"? Oleg Naumenko is a member of One Voice Policy StratCom group at the Administration of the President of Ukraine, working in military public affairs and forming a new image of the Ukrainian Army. He is going to talk about the role of social media and digital communications in reforming Ukraine's military and how the conflicts in the Internet and real battlefields became increasingly interlinked.

The jasmine revolution
The document summarizes the role of social media in the 2010-2011 Tunisian Revolution that overthrew the authoritarian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. It describes how:
1) Widespread dissatisfaction and the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi sparked protests that spread nationwide despite a crackdown.
2) Activists used social media like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to organize protests, spread information and videos of government violence, and coordinate responses as the situation rapidly changed.
3) International attention amplified their message and helped turn the movement into a "viral phenomenon" that ultimately led to Ben Ali fleeing the country on January 14, 2011, ending 23 years of repress
Presentation on ARAB SPRING
The document discusses the Arab Spring uprisings that began in late 2010 and 2011 across several Middle Eastern and North African countries. Key events and causes discussed include:
- Widespread protests in Egypt led to the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011 after 18 days of demonstrations against corruption, unemployment, and censorship.
- In Libya, civil war broke out as rebel groups fought against Gaddafi's regime, resulting in NATO intervention and Gaddafi's death by October 2011.
- Syria experienced brutal government repression of protests demanding democratic reforms, with thousands of civilian deaths as the conflict escalated.
- Bahrain saw protests crushed by government forces with the help of Saudi troops, drawing international criticism of Western in
London riots
The document provides a timeline of events and media coverage of the 2011 London riots. It details how the riots began as peaceful protests over the shooting of Mark Duggan but escalated into widespread looting and arson across London over several days in early August. The media initially did not blame young people but later focused on them as the main perpetrators, though some argued they rioted due to lack of opportunities. The document also examines how the media emphasized the negative aspects of the riots over positive community cleanup efforts.

- Protests began in Tunisia in response to corruption, unemployment and repression, spreading to Egypt, Libya, Syria, and Bahrain.
- Citizens demanded democratic reforms, free elections, an end to emergency rule and corruption, and the removal of long-standing authoritarian leaders like Mubarak in Egypt and Gaddafi in Libya.
- Governments responded with violent crackdowns but could not stop the movements fueled by social media organizing. Mubarak and Gaddafi were eventually overthrown.
- Uprisings led to civil wars in Libya and Syria, where
Impunity
This document provides an update on media killings in the Philippines and the Ampatuan massacre case. [1] 146 journalists have been killed since 1986, with 145 being targeted killings. [2] Only 10 cases have resulted in court convictions, while none of the masterminds have been convicted. [3] Under President Aquino, 5 work-related journalist killings have occurred, while 15 media cases remain active in court.
The Role of Social Media in Crisis
The document discusses lessons learned from past crises regarding the role of social media and communications. It summarizes several major crises including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, 2005 London bombings, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, 2007 Southern California wildfires, and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Key lessons included the importance of social media and mobile communications in providing information when infrastructure is damaged, the need for interoperable emergency response communications systems, and challenges around misinformation or lack of authoritative information being addressed by citizen journalism on social media and blogs.
Online freedom of expression
This session will look at challenges related to free speech online. We will address restrictions to freedom of expression from technological challenges (filters, surveillance techniques, blocking access to websites) to the introduction of new laws that curb digital freedom. We will also cover the increasing trend of takedown requests, the phenomenon of privatisation of censorship as well as threats, intimidation and violence against citizen journalists and bloggers. Through detailed case studies, participants will have the opportunity to explore the various implications of online censorship for media freedom. Case studies will include examples from countries such as Azerbaijan, Turkey, Belarus, India and Brazil.
Mass communication and social problems - terrorism
This document discusses how terrorists use mass media to further their goals. It defines terrorism and outlines how terrorist groups have historically exploited media coverage of attacks to spread propaganda, gain attention and recognition, and spread fear. Specific examples are given of the 1972 Munich Olympics attack and Al-Qaeda's use of the internet. The document also examines how certain terrorist groups like Hezbollah have created their own media channels like Al-Manar TV to directly control their message. It notes both terrorists' and media organizations' motivations for covering terrorism extensively despite censorship attempts of some terrorist media.
12. Tetyana Bogdanova - Falling In And Out Of Love With The Ukrainian Interne...
The document discusses the rise of social media and online activism in Ukraine, particularly during the Euromaidan protests in 2013-2014. It explores how tools like blogs, Facebook, YouTube, and crowdsourcing helped scale up the protests and empowered leaderless movements. However, it also notes that after the initial phase, the digital landscape brought new threats like immersive conflict extending online, polarization of users in echo chambers, disinformation, trolling, and hate speech. The document concludes that while technology provided opportunities, it also challenges democracy and peace in Ukraine, and must be approached as an instrument rather than a solution.
Resource curse
The document discusses the resource curse phenomenon where countries with an abundance of natural resources like oil, gas, and minerals tend to have less economic growth and worse development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources. It provides examples of how the resource curse has severely impacted countries like Venezuela and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In DRC, the fighting over control of gold and other mineral resources has led to ongoing violence and widespread sexual violence against women and girls with little benefit for the country's people. Strong democratic institutions and transparency in resource industries are discussed as potential ways to overcome the resource curse but major challenges remain.
Xenophobia Talk
Xenophobia and discrimination against immigrants is driven by poverty and lack of economic opportunity rather than genuine security concerns. While countries try to restrict immigration through harsh policies like deportation and detention camps, this fails to address the root causes of migration and exacerbates tensions. A more just and compassionate solution lies in promoting development, poverty alleviation, and political/economic reforms in places that migrants originate from.

It notes that journalism is struggling to find a business model in the digital age. Additionally, social networks have disrupted established flows of information and given more power to opaque algorithms and private companies over public discourse. This poses challenges for democracy, which requires some consensus around facts and truth. The presentation calls for rethinking how journalism engages audiences and addresses the root issues rather than just focusing on internal changes. Cooperation is needed between various actors to address problems that no single group can solve alone.
ICT: Key to a Pandora’s Box?
ICTs like the internet and mobile phones have become widely used in the Philippines for disseminating and discussing political information. During a 2005 political crisis, recordings of a controversial phone call were shared online after traditional media outlets stopped playing them due to legal threats. This highlighted how ICTs allowed information to spread directly to the public. Since then, both the government and public have increasingly used ICTs to spread their messages, conduct surveillance, and advocate for political issues, bringing new opportunities and challenges around freedom of information and expression.
News in an Online Age
This document discusses how news consumption has changed from traditional print media to online and social media sources. It provides several theories on how news is now participatory and discusses the rise of citizen journalism. Examples are given of how individuals used social media to document and share information about events like 9/11 and the 2004 tsunami in ways that expanded the narrative beyond traditional media. The document concludes by proposing a case study of the 2011 London riots, where both social and traditional media played a role in coverage.
