Guidelines are proposed for countering online hate speech without censorship: 1. Media should self-regulate and promote pluralism to reduce propaganda, while not leaving regulation to governments. 2. Mechanisms should be developed to identify early warnings of hate speech online and share best practices. 3. Victims of hate speech should never be left alone, and reporting systems put in place for victims to report safely.

Effects of the online world on communication and crisis menegement 
The document discusses social media and crisis communication. It provides examples of different social media platforms and notes that Pampers issued a news release in 2010 to dispel rumors about a new product harming infants. It emphasizes the importance of listening to stakeholders in social media rather than just sending them information. The term "paracrisis" refers to early warning signs of a potential crisis that emerge in social media. Crisis managers must monitor a wide range of stakeholders and be present in social media before a crisis occurs.
Security and social media
This is a presentation delivered by Rains Media. The focus is on social media within the realm of campus security.
Social media
Social media is defined as media that allows for social interaction and sharing of content. It uses the internet and web technologies to transform one-way broadcast media into interactive dialogues. There are three key components - the concept or information being shared, the media or format used, and the social interface that allows for engagement and sharing. Some common forms of social media include sharing concepts, slogans, statements, grassroots organizing, and electronic media that enables sharing online or through mobile devices.
Your Court’s All-A-Twitter
The document discusses the impact of social media on the legal community and judiciary. It notes that jurors have gotten into trouble by discussing cases on social media, sometimes resulting in mistrials. It also discusses how courts are dealing with social media, with some allowing uses like live tweeting but also establishing new rules to restrict jurors' social media use during trials. Finally, it argues that social media opens doors for communication if used appropriately, and that courts should embrace it but also set limits for certain forums.
Crisis Communications: Strategies That Prevent and Manage Digital Crises
A recent survey of more than 800 organizations revealed the vast majority of them — 79 percent — believe their company will face a crisis online next year. Despite this belief, most practitioners are unprepared to manage a crisis created by the 24/7 news cycle.
You are the social media leader for your organization. You must prepare for a crisis before it strikes. You must know how to manage a crisis. It‘s vital to your organization's survival!
In this interactive workshop, you'll learn how to:
• Write an employee and organizational social media policy
• Integrate social media with all your communications channels and messages
• Develop and test a social media crisis plan
• Create and manage your digital communications team
• Track and analyze social media mentions, including impressions, reach, website traffic and traditional mentions
• Monitor social media for harmful messages so you can respond quickly
• Use Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and blogs to manage the crisis and perhaps save your brand with a powerful counter-offensive
• Rebuild confidence among important stakeholders following a crisis

Antonia & Maggie attended the 5-day SXSWi interactive festival in Austin, Texas. They learned that social networking is popular, authenticity and transparency are important for online communities, finding the right platforms is key, users want control over their experience, having a clear mission is essential, word-of-mouth influences people, and mobile is a powerful marketing channel. They also gained weight from the tasty Austin food.
Using New Media
The document summarizes a presentation about using new media such as blogs, wikis, social networks, podcasts, RSS feeds, and text messaging in HIV prevention programs. It discusses what these tools are, who is using them, and provides examples of how organizations like AIDS.gov and the CDC are leveraging new media. The presentation encourages attendees to experiment with these new media channels to engage clients and distribute health information more effectively.

TASK 3 presentation
Social networks can benefit children but also pose risks to their safety and privacy. While social media allows connection, it also enables anonymity which can foster cyberbullying and impersonation. To protect children, parents and teachers should educate youth on safe online practices like avoiding sharing private information, only interacting with known contacts, and reporting suspicious behavior. Overall social networks require awareness of both opportunities and threats to child well-being.

Standards of Entrepreneur Rights in Competition Proceedings – a Matter of Adm...
The question of standards of entrepreneur rights in competition proceedings has
been for many years considered as one the most controversial issues. Its importance
has been increasing considering that the application of antitrust regulations is often
concomitant with a wide-ranging interference with the freedom of economic activity.
This interference manifests itself in cases concerning both restrictive practices and
the control of concentrations. Valuable source of inspiration for a debate on the
need to take into account numerous standards of rights in competition proceedings was the dispute over the nature of competition proceedings and fines (the
controversy around ‘a criminal law nature’ of competition cases). The jurisprudence
of Strasbourg judiciaries explicitly stresses that in the assessment of a case nature
due consideration should rather not be given to formal classifications set forth
in legal provisions but to the real nature of the case. The ECJ did not share the
assumptions adopted by the European Court of Human Rights on the legitimacy of
a wide interpretation of the “criminal charge” notion within the meaning of Article
6(1) ECHR. In the present EU jurisprudence on competition law, there have been
more and more judgments which deal with standards of rights stemming from
the ECHR. In the context of an ever growing severity of penalties, the guarantee
function of law has been gaining in importance, and hence the standards to be
respected in competition proceedings are of a bigger weight.
Major changes were brought by the entry into force, on 1 December 2009, of the
Treaty of Lisbon. The implementation of the concept aiming at an even stronger
reinforcement of the position of fundamental rights was sealed by granting the EU
Charter of Fundamental Rights of 2000 the binding force by including this Charter
into the EU primary law and by defining the basis for the EU accession to the
ECHR (Article 6 TEU). The introduction of new rules of judicial cooperation in
criminal matters may contribute in future to a better dynamic of the criminalization
of the most serious violations of competition law in the EU Member States (Article
83 and following of the TFEU).

This document provides statistics on the ten highest cartel fines imposed by the European Commission since 1969. It lists the largest fines per case and per company. The document then provides an overview of Article 101 of the TFEU, which prohibits anticompetitive agreements between undertakings. It discusses what constitutes an agreement under EU competition law and outlines the key elements analyzed in assessing potential violations of Article 101, including the concepts of object and effect. The document also touches on how economic principles like the prisoner's dilemma can help assess whether collusion between competitors is likely.
EU Media Policy - MS Directive: Quo Vadis?
The document discusses the scope and interpretation of the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD).
1) It analyzes each of the seven criteria that define an "audiovisual media service" under the directive, such as having the principal purpose of providing programs to inform, entertain or educate the general public.
2) It examines how national regulators have interpreted ambiguous criteria, like whether video content on newspaper websites is considered ancillary or a separate service.
3) The document explores how the directive applies to new media services on converging platforms and whether traditional TV rules apply, given the directive's goal of technology neutrality.
Media Regulation Booklet (OCR Media Conference 2009)
The document discusses media regulation in the UK and Europe. It outlines key principles from the European Convention on Human Rights regarding privacy (Article 8) versus freedom of expression (Article 10), and how UK law must balance these. It also describes the voluntary Press Complaints Commission code for journalists and defines what constitutes public interest. Sample questions are provided from law exams for trainee journalists regarding defamation, privacy and legal issues around publishing photos. Finally, it discusses regulation of the internet, outlining recommendations from the Byron Review on keeping children safe online.
The Unbearable Lightness of Media Ownership Transparency
The Unbearable Lightness of Media Ownership TransparencyCentre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom
This document discusses the importance of transparency in media ownership for democracy. It argues that mandatory reporting requirements are needed to identify the beneficial and ultimate owners of media outlets. Such requirements should apply to broadcast, print, and online media and collect basic information on ownership structure, financial accounts, and interests in other organizations. Media regulators should collect this information and make it publicly available to ensure transparency and prevent undue concentration of media ownership and political influence. Adopting clear rules and standards on ownership transparency is crucial to guarantee media pluralism.The Standards of the Council of Europe and an overview of the case law of the...

After analyzing the facts and the fiscal and economic aspects of the operation, the presentation gives the point of view of both the UK Government and the ECJ about the fiscal regime of Thin Cap in UK. The decision of the Court is against UK Thin Cap, since the fiscal regime represents a restriction in the freedom of establishment for non-UK resident parent companies deciding where to establish a subsidiary.
Hate speech on the internet
This document discusses hate speech on the internet. It defines hate speech and outlines international and EU laws regarding criminalization of hate speech. The Additional Protocol and Framework Decision provide measures for EU member states to criminalize public incitement of hatred and dissemination of racist materials. However, prohibiting hate speech may conflict with constitutional rights to freedom of expression. Any legal measures against hate speech must be proportionate and without prejudice to freedom of expression.

EUROPEAN UNION COMPETENCIES IN RESPECT OF MEDIA PLURALISM AND MEDIA FREEDOMCentre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom
The document discusses potential EU competencies and legal instruments regarding media pluralism and freedom. It finds that while the EU Treaties do not explicitly confer such competencies, provisions like Article 11 of the EU Charter and Article 10 of the ECHR establish these principles. It analyzes how various Treaty articles and directives could support pluralism and discusses establishing independent regulatory authorities or an EU agency to help monitor and set standards. In conclusion, while the EU has few direct tools now, greater clarity on competencies is needed given the importance of democratic principles like pluralism.Reframing libel scott&mullis

Contemporary media regulation key terms activity
This document provides a list of key terms, people, and organizations for students to research regarding contemporary media regulation. Some of the main topics included are regulation, free speech, self-regulation, censorship, influential reports on media ethics like the Leveson Report, controversial figures like Julian Assange and Wikileaks, press regulatory bodies in the UK like the PCC and ASA, critiques of the press, and theoretical perspectives on the media like the Marxist position and manufacturing consent.
Internet Censorship
Internet censorship is a controversial issue. In China, the government strictly censors the internet, blocking over 18,000 websites including Wikipedia, YouTube, and Facebook. Certain search terms are also blocked and people have been imprisoned for their anti-government online activities. While China censors the internet, Australia also engages in some level of internet censorship. There are arguments both for and against internet censorship, with concerns around restricting access to information versus protecting citizens.
Cybercrime convention
The document discusses the procedural powers granted to states under the Cybercrime Convention from a human rights perspective. It notes that the convention's procedural powers restrict fundamental rights, but are subject to conditions and safeguards. Specifically, it outlines requirements from the European Convention on Human Rights that any restriction must be prescribed by law, pursue a legitimate aim, and be necessary in a democratic society. It also discusses safeguards like limiting the duration and scope of surveillance, independent authorization, and oversight to prevent arbitrary application and protect human rights in the use of investigative powers against cybercrime.

Strengthening Journalists’ Rights, Protections and SkillsCentre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom
International Press Institute (IPI) Senior Press Freedom Adviser Steven M. Ellis will present information related to the IPI’s current project “Strengthening Journalists’ Rights, Protections and Skills: Understanding Defamation Laws versus Press Freedom”. The project seeks to examine the effects that defamation, insult and blasphemy laws in the 28 EU member countries and five candidate countries have on the practices of journalism and the exercise of press freedom.
IPI will soon be issuing a study detailing defamation law in EU member and candidate states, examining the extent to which these laws comport with international standards and offering recommendations for potential changes. Ellis will explain to participants the purpose, history and methodology behind the forthcoming study and share details regarding planned follow-up workshops and trainings. Using specific examples from relevant countries, Ellis will also detail potential pitfalls that journalists face under national criminal and civil laws on defamation, insult and blasphemy. Participants will be given examples of types of conduct that may lead to liability, potential defences to liability, potential consequences that a finding of civil or criminal liability may carry and examples of recent legal developments. Finally, he will provide a broad overview of relevant international free expression standards in order to foster awareness among journalists of their rights in cases where national laws have not yet caught up to those standards.Media regulation - twitter

Cyber Bullying
Cyber bullying involves aggressive acts carried out repeatedly through electronic means. It most commonly occurs on social media and mobile devices. To prevent cyber bullying, it is important to establish open communication with children, define what cyber bullying is, and give children strategies to respond. Parents and schools should also monitor online activity, know the apps children use, and create a united community approach against cyber bullying. Working together, cyber bullying can be stopped.
Paul Hulsbos; Maverick's The Recruit 2014 proposal
This document proposes a campaign called "Disconnect Bullying" to raise awareness of cyberbullying. It has two main components: 1) A smartphone app and QR codes that provide personal stories of local bullying victims to illustrate the experience and encourage help-seeking. 2) Viral videos and online forums to illustrate the harms of bullying to a global audience and provide worldwide support networks. The goal is to make anti-bullying messages more personal and interactive to inspire greater community engagement through technology.

Barry’s YALILearns session on Media Literacy.pptx
"Media and Information Literacy consists of the knowledge, the attitudes, and the sum of the skills needed to know when and what information is needed; where and how to obtain that information; how to evaluate it critically and organise it once it is found; and how to use it in an ethical way. The concept extends beyond communication and information technologies to encompass learning, critical thinking, and interpretative skills across and beyond professional and educational boundaries. Media and Information Literacy includes all types of information resources: oral, print, and digital. Media and Information Literacy is a basic human right in an increasingly digital, interdependent, and global world, and promotes greater social inclusion. It can bridge the gap between the information rich and the information poor. Media and Information Literacy empowers and endows individuals with knowledge of the functions of the media and information systems and the conditions under which these functions are performed" (IFLA, 2011).
"We live in a world where the quality of information we receive largely determines our choices and ensuing actions, including our capacity to enjoy fundamental freedoms and the ability for self-determination and development. Driven by technological improvements in telecommunications, there is also a proliferation of media and other information providers through which vast amounts of information and knowledge are accessed and shared by citizens. Adding to and emanating from this phenomenon is the challenge to assess the relevance and the reliability of the information" (UNESCO, p. 11, 2011).

Guidelines countering hate speech
- 1. Guidelines for countering online hate speech By Mogens Blicher Bjerregård, freelance international, president of the EFJ It would hardly be possible to make a definition of hate speech, though most of us would know very well, when someone crosses the red line. However, we should develop some guidelines and use them as a sort of action plan to counter hate speech. Such guidelines could be the following: #1. Self-regulation. Never leave it to the state to make judgements on media ethics as it will lead to censorship, but take responsibility in the media not to promote hate speech. #2. Stay away from censoring, but support and develop pluralism in media, as it will reduce propaganda media to one out of a range of media, and that will reduce the extent of hate speech. #3. Develop mechanisms of early warnings of hate speech online and share information and best practice. #4. Never let victims of hate speech alone, but identify dedicated colleagues to whom victims always can report safely about abuses and threats, they have received online. #5. Never accept hate speech, report it each time. We should tackle online abuses by prompt actions. A threat online should be addressed exactly as we address threats offline – by an immediate response and report to the authorities. #6. Ensure that employers and other persons in leading positions always will have a serious approach and will firmly take action, when they learn about victims of hate speech. #7. As hate speech happens cross border, international authors’, journalists’ and media organizations should in common develop guidelines to counter hate speech in general and with an approach to social media in particular. #8. Create dialogue with the owners and editors of social media platform as they must take responsibility to take partnership in countering hate speech. #9. Create dialogue and confrontation when hate speech authors’ are identified regardless of they are individuals or in groups or organizations. #10. Media literacy. More and more people – and not only the young – get their news through social media and online comments in particular. Universities - and Schools of Journalism and writing should comprehensively reflect this. We should have a common approach on this together with the educational sector.
