17-21 de junho de 2013: Brites, M. J. The Reciprocal Role of Media and Civic Literacies: A Case Study of News and Young Citizens in Portugal . ICA's 63rd Annual Conference: Challenging Communication Research, Londres.
The document discusses the decline of social capital and civic engagement in America and potential solutions for renewal. It outlines how social capital benefits communities through social networks, trust, and civic participation. However, factors like increased mobility, technology, and generational changes have led to disengagement. This has repercussions for education, neighborhoods, democracy and more. Solutions proposed include reforming education, workplaces, communities and politics to revive civic values and participation. Examples of innovative civic engagement in environmental and other groups are provided.
(Un)governing the poor youth: Inclusive citizenship education in a post-political context
This paper is on the intent to include the young poor into democratic practices, in a context where basic needs are not fulfilled. It therefore discusses education, citizenship and social justice and illustrates – based on empirical data – the tensions between the demands for a participatory youth placed on the educational communities and the social contexts within which the education process takes place.
This document discusses how social media has changed and will continue to impact political campaigns and elections in the United States. It explores how politicians now use social media to directly engage with voters, especially younger generations, and how advocacy groups are also utilizing social media to encourage civic engagement. By 2016, social media use had become a common campaign tool as demonstrated by Barack Obama's successful use of sites like Twitter and Facebook in his presidential elections. Future research questions consider whether social media changes how people think about elections and whether following politicians on social media makes people more likely to vote.

Active citizenship means that people get involved in their communities and democracy at various levels, from local to national issues. It can include activities like volunteering, political participation, and educating others about democratic values. For active citizenship to work well, many sectors of society need to collaborate toward shared goals. It is also important for educational programs to help develop skills like cooperation, critical thinking, and openness to diversity. When citizens participate in this way, it can help ensure their voices are heard in decision-making that affects their lives.

The document discusses the role of the press in society. It begins with a brief history of newspapers, noting they originated in 16th century Venice. The press serves as a watchdog of democracy by keeping the public informed and holding those in power accountable. As a medium of mass communication, the press has a social responsibility to spread information to influence perspectives. Newspapers investigate scams and social issues requiring specialized knowledge. They have also helped propagate social reforms in countries like 19th century India. Overall, the press helps evaluate important issues, spread awareness of current events, and pass information to society.
Media has always played an integral role in society by informing the public and reflecting realities. It has become the fourth pillar of democracy by circulating important information. Media influences public opinion and relations between groups in both positive and negative ways by spreading information quickly, whether true or false. It has a significant impact on politics by shaping how elections are contested and citizens engage, and on public relations by affecting public perceptions. However, biased or misleading reporting can damage social harmony if it stirs conflict between groups. Maintaining ethical standards is important to ensure media fulfills its democratic purpose of informing citizens accurately.
Mass communication plays a central role in society and its development. It provides people with information about their communities, countries, and the world. While increasing people's access to information, mass media also influences their attitudes and views. It has impacted society both positively and negatively in areas like family, religion, education, and politics. By changing people's opinions and beliefs, mass media acts as an agent of social change. However, it does not directly involve individuals but rather influences them psychologically. Overall, mass media shapes societal values and can impact development policies through its role as a reflector and reinforcer of dominant attitudes.
Carlos Motta's artwork "The Good Life" consists of an Internet archive, a video installation, and commissioned texts. The Internet archive allows public access to videos from anywhere without signing up. The installation displays 12 monitors in an arrangement referencing the Athenian agora, where citizens participated in politics. It includes over 360 video interviews from 12 Latin American cities examining democratization and US intervention from 2005-2008. People from various occupations aged 15 to over 70 were interviewed to showcase diverse opinions. The artwork aims to present politics to various people in an accessible form by connecting individual and American policies through people's perspectives.

Here I am sharing my presentation of paper no 8 Cultural studies .It is a part of my academic activity.It is submitted to Dr Dilip Barad.Department of English.
Industrialization in the 19th century led to social and moral isolation as relations became based more on business than personal connections. Early community studies found that industrialization, urbanization, and consumerism weakened civic involvement. Researchers found that places seen as "disorganized" often contained diverse lifestyles based on class, ethnicity, gender. Later network analysis found that education level was a stronger predictor of social network size than location. Strong social networks in communities were linked to lower death rates.
This document discusses key themes around diversity, multiple identities, and social cohesion in Europe. It notes that Europe has experienced increased migration flows, leading to greater diversity and super diversity in cities. However, greater diversity can also lead to fragmentation. The document examines debates around how to foster social cohesion and integration within diverse societies. It outlines different policy approaches European countries have taken toward diversity, from multiculturalism to monoculturalism. It also identifies gaps in previous research and recommends approaching diversity and identity as multidimensional concepts.
The document discusses alternative models for social media networks in Malta. It provides key statistics about Malta's population and demographics. It also examines Malta's primary institutions and discusses how social media is used by citizens, critics, and mainstream media in Malta. This includes examples of content on blogs, Facebook, and Twitter. The document argues that while young Maltese are increasingly using social media, mainstream players could still impede grassroots initiatives in online spaces.
This document discusses the emergence and importance of development journalism. It defines development communication as the systematic use of communication for national development. Development journalism deals with development through communication and was coined as a term by Juan Mercado and Alan Chalkley to describe economic reporting focused on development in third world nations. The objectives of development journalism are to critically examine and evaluate development projects and differentiate between planned schemes and their actual implementation. The document also discusses the role of Indian newspapers in development reporting throughout history.
This document defines key sociological concepts like society, community, urban and rural areas. It describes the characteristics of societies and communities. Rural areas are more homogeneous with strong social control, while urban areas are heterogeneous with greater diversity and social change. The interaction between urban and rural communities is also explored. Urbanization is discussed as resulting from industrialization and influx control removal in South Africa. Informal settlements emerge due to factors like rural depopulation, lack of work, and the hope of better opportunities in towns. However, settlers often find no housing, services, or work in the settlements.
Creating healthy neighborhoods through action and policy changeEveryday Democracy
New York City residents are taking action to address concerns about food and health disparities. Four action teams are connecting residents with elected officials and local businesses, educating the public about the Farm Bill, and developing incentives for people to make healthy food choices.
This course examines how public policy shapes New York City and its society. Students will analyze aspects that contribute to successful cities, as well as failed attempts to revive cities, including economic development, crime, education, housing, and organized crime. The course uses theories from social sciences to understand cultural, political, and social forces influencing urban areas. Students are required to complete writing assignments analyzing local news coverage of urban issues and a case study paper on a New York City policy, conflict, or development project. The course aims to provide a practical framework for understanding the relationship between government, individuals, and society in urban settings.
This document summarizes a report that examines how 14 democratic countries fund and protect the independence of public media. It finds that countries generally use several approaches: multi-year funding to lessen political pressure; structures that link public media directly to audiences; charters that require public-interest content while restricting government influence; and independent agencies/boards as buffers between media and governments. As a result, public media provide more public affairs coverage and viewpoints than commercial media. However, countries vary in how well their systems are funded and insulated from political interference. The report provides models for the U.S. to consider strengthening its own modest public media system.
This document discusses the changing landscape of political journalism in the digital age. It notes that new forms of communication online were thought to provide new outlets to bypass traditional media, but in reality digital media can be more pernicious and less balanced. It examines how political journalism now works with power, media, and the public interconnected online. Key changes discussed include hypertextuality, interactivity, multi-mediality, and the abundance and diversity of information sources. The document questions whether these new forms of journalism can still fulfill the core functions of informing the public, fostering debate, and holding power to account.
This document discusses the role of mass communication in social development. It outlines several key points:
1) Social development aims to benefit people and facilitate interactions between groups in society. This implies changes to social institutions.
2) Mass media can contribute to social development by informing the public, transmitting social values, educating people, and mobilizing communities for development goals.
3) The media has social responsibilities like increasing awareness, being fair and unbiased, supporting culture and education, condemning crimes, and giving voice to marginalized groups to promote an inclusive society.
PB - Participatory Budget; Case Studies: Brazil and Argentina Ana Sofía Castillo
This document discusses participatory budgeting case studies in Buenos Aires, Porto Alegre, and São Paulo. It provides background on participatory budgeting, describing it as a process where citizens can contribute to decision making over part of a public budget through annual meetings with government. Case studies found it was viable in Porto Alegre due to anti-corruption, inclusion of vulnerable groups, but unviable in Buenos Aires and São Paulo due to political instability, income inequality, and different power dynamics. A critique notes participatory budgeting may fall short of democratic goals if limited to the local level and that decentralization alone is not sufficient, requiring synergy across levels of government.
This document discusses the impact of mass communication on the economy. It provides background on different types of economies including capitalism, socialism, and mixed economies. Capitalism involves private ownership and profit maximization, socialism involves social ownership and centralized planning, and mixed economies involve aspects of both public and private sectors. The document then discusses how mass media relates to the economy through programs about stock markets, advertising, online shopping, and business experts' views. It concludes that mass media has impacted economies by changing production and distribution methods, increasing business levels, allowing easier advertising and reach, and providing more options for customers, though it can also enable unfair trade practices.

This document summarizes interviews with 35 young people about civic participation and news media. Key findings include:
1) Emotions play an important role in civic participation for both girls and boys. Family and peer discussions can encourage or discourage participation.
2) Girls are more motivated by helping others, learning how to participate, and having a voice. Boys cite interests, abilities, and future goals as motivators.
3) Most internet participation via sites like MySpace is to showcase cultural work rather than political ideas, though some blogs express political views.

The practice of participation: youth’s vocabularies around on- and offline ci...GiovannaMascheroni
This document summarizes a study examining patterns of civic and political engagement among youth in Italy and the UK. It identifies four participatory habitus - alignment, resistance I, resistance II, and exclusion - characterized by different citizenship orientations, practices, and digital engagement. These habitus represent varying positions in the political field based on access to resources. While social media use influences participation for each habitus, the relationships differ, from hybrid news/social spaces to media activism. Comparisons between the two countries revealed similarities and differences in the issues and influences shaping each habitus.
1. Young people consume news media differently during election periods than their daily routines. Television remains the main source for election news, even as internet and print sources grow in popularity among younger groups.
2. Girls in the study showed less interest in following election campaigns than boys. Television is still an important unifying media for families, despite the rise of individualized news consumption online.
3. As new media like the internet emerge, television is becoming a more niche source perceived as more credible by some, though it still dominates how people access election results and debates. Radio is rarely used for news while print newspapers remain more important but can't compete with television for election coverage.
Erika Mnå presented on the development of civic engagement among youth. She discussed 5 key findings from research in Sweden: 1) Political interest develops steadily from ages 13-20. 2) Parents have the most influence on youth's civic views in their early 20s. 3) Internet use can both help and hinder the development of civic qualities, depending on the type of media. 4) Civic engagement has two dimensions - participation and passivity. 5) While political interest is high, other factors like trust in institutions influence whether interest translates to participation. The research suggests civic engagement is an ongoing process influenced by both individual and political systemic factors.
The document discusses how social networking sites and social media are being used for political purposes, such as political organization and engagement among young citizens. It also examines how terrorist groups like ISIS utilize various social media platforms for spreading propaganda, recruitment, and communication. The rise of social media presents both opportunities and challenges for political participation but also enables threats like terrorism to spread their influence more widely.
This document is a minor dissertation submitted by Jorge Martín Mora to University College Cork on May 15, 2015 about the 15-M Revolution social movement in Spain. It discusses how the 15-M movement utilized social media to organize mass protests in 2011 against the political and economic establishment. Social media allowed the movement to coordinate demonstrations across Spain and bring attention to their demands for greater participatory democracy and response to the financial crisis. While the 15-M movement did not achieve major political reforms, it has had ongoing social and political impacts by challenging Spain's two-party system and inspiring new forms of civic engagement and protest.
This document discusses how mainstream media often portrays youth in limited ways and does not take their perspectives seriously. It presents examples from youth who feel their voices are not heard in the media. The Youth Voice Editorial Board in Helsinki aims to address this by training youth to produce their own media content for mainstream outlets. The document also analyzes how youth with different levels of civic identity and media engagement see and interact with societal issues through media. It argues that worldwide, media should take youth's willingness to participate more seriously.
Audience Behavior And How It Relates To The New Media EssayChristina Padilla
The document discusses how media coverage of political issues and events helps set the agenda by determining what stories are covered based on factors like impact, interest, familiarity, proximity and timeliness. It also discusses how the Supreme Court case Buckley v. Valeo established the ability to spend personal wealth on political campaigns. Finally, it notes how the media has changed over time, with more investigative journalism now compared to the past, and how the media operates both to inform the public but also for profit reasons.
This document discusses different forms of citizenship and participation among young adult immigrants in Europe. It begins by introducing the concept of global citizenship and how citizenship rights have expanded beyond traditional civic, political, and social rights to include economic, cultural, digital, and transnational aspects. It then examines formal participation through political parties and civic associations, noting barriers some immigrants face. The document also explores informal participation through social networks, friends, and communities. Several case studies are presented to illustrate different experiences with citizenship and participation.
The International Honors Program (IHP) is celebrating its 50th anniversary of providing college students opportunities to examine global issues in a comparative way across multiple countries. The IHP offers semester-long and year-long programs where students take interdisciplinary courses and visit several countries to study topics like public health, the environment, urban planning and more. Students interact with local experts and communities. The IHP aims to give students a unique understanding of these issues from different cultural perspectives and to consider their role in the global community.
This document discusses designing social media platforms to encourage civic engagement among youth. It reviews literature on how youth conceptualize and participate in civic issues online. The study defined civic engagement as supportive, deliberative, and collaborative practices in social media in response to societal needs. Interviews with youth found they prefer informal engagement in flexible contexts like Facebook over formal sites. Youth are motivated by peer-oriented causes, visibility, excitement from pictures/videos, and desire for quick feedback. The document provides recommendations for design including context, flexibility, updated content, peer relevance, control, sharing, visibility, and feedback.
This document discusses media culture and its role as an effective tool in cultural studies. It defines media culture as the western capitalist society that emerged in the 20th century under the influence of mass media like television, press, radio, and cinema. Media culture examines the representation of social and political groups, and how it reproduces ideology and social inequalities. Cultural studies analyzes the forms of representation in media culture and the political ideologies embedded within them. Media ecology studies also explore the intersection of information, communication technologies, organizational behavior, and human interaction.
Online social movements and networked activism. Trends around researchJosé Manuel Noguera
This document discusses online social movements and networked activism in Spain. It focuses on two key Spanish political movements: Pásalo in 2004 and 15M in 2011.
It analyzes how these movements utilized social media and networked communication to organize and spread their messages outside of traditional media. Specifically, it looks at how 15M protesters coordinated on social networks and how analysis of Twitter data showed decentralized, non-hierarchical information flows.
The document also examines how mainstream media initially failed to adequately cover 15M in its early days, while discussion grew rapidly on social networks. It identifies open questions around the media logic of social networks and how they spread the messages of online social movements.

But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.
Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

“I watch the news with my mother and my brother. We
comment on that, my mother talks about dangers.[...]
A few days ago, we talked about swimming pool dangers.
She said: ‘Don't jump like that’. My mother alerted my brother
and I.” (Girl, 15, low income area assembly)
Opportunities that come and go;
Low intensity of participation in time.
News box (political news)
Coffee shop
Popular news

(N=7 | M=7 | 1=15, 2=16, 3=17, 1=18)
“Music, I like what I produce. I follow my blog [it is a MySpace
webpage], to know who follows me. And, after that, I ask people if
they enjoyed my music.” (boy, 17, MC)
Non conventional;
Self-centred ;
Boys;
Intense participation in time related to self centred activities and
specific activities;
Produsers.
More diverse;
Different contexts;
But political news = family.
10. FINAL MARKS
Constant civic practices (traditional but also non-traditional)
can encourage the virtuous cycle.
Informants with continuous participation in strict
political sense have strong references on the
democratic relevance of news and at the same time
they expand the notion of produsers, because they
consider their internet texts as news.
Participation – multiple (school)
News – family socialization
11. Resilience
• Non traditional; deprived areas
Virtuous circle
• Media and civic literacy

Editor's Notes
Reciprocal role of media and civic literacies: case study on the news and young citizens in Portugal
Maria José Brites, Media and Journalism Research Centre/ New University of Lisbon; Lusophone University of Porto
This presentation reflects on the ambivalent daily life tensions between news (consumption and production) and civic practices among young citizens (15-18). Media literacy is considered in its connections with civic literacy. Both poles are deeply connected, engaged in prismatic views and in a virtuous cycle. Reflection will focus on data from a longitudinal participatory research (2009-2011; direct observation, semi-structured interviews and focus groups) with more than 30 young people with diverse experiences of civic and political participation (writers, MC, political parties and NGO, among others). The results indicate that constant civic practices (traditional but also non-traditional) can encourage the virtuous cycle. Informants with continuous participation in strict political sense have firm references on the democratic relevance of news and at the same time they expand the notion of produsers, because they consider their internet texts as news.
