The 21st century is a historical milestone for new ways of managing public affairs, as a result of the political, social and economic transformations that were generated in various countries in South America, in which Venezuela is the protagonist with the approval of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic in December 1999; based on the organization of society for participation in decision-making on matters of collective interest. In this perspective, the Community Councils arise. Therefore, they constitute the interest of the investigation to characterize the applicable legal regime in Venezuela, according to the theoretical contributions and the institutional devices that comprise them. It is a descriptive investigation, with a documentary design. The findings reveal: since the constitutional precepts, regulations for community organization and participation were created, referring to the Communal Councils, which have been the subject of discussion about the nature of their actions, based on the legal nature; it is evident that its praxis responds to features of a mixed legal nature, that is, constitutional and community. It is concluded that the Communal Councils must advance in the legal recognition of the actions related to certain competences of the public administration, to build the administrative and legal bases for an innovative community development community management.

The commercialization of meclia in China has cultivated a new journalism business model characterized with scandalization, sensationalization, exaggeration, oversimplification, highly opinionated news stories, one-sidedly reporting, fabrication and hate reporting, which have clone more harm than good to the public affairs. Today the Chinese journalists are more prey to the manipu/ation of the emotions of the audiences than being a faithful messenger for the public. Une/er such a media environment, in case of news events, particularly, during crisis, it is not the media being scared by the government. but the media itself is scaring the government into silence. The Chinese news media have grown so negative and so cynica/ that it has produced growing popular clistrust of the government and the government officials. Entering a freer but fearful commercially mediated society, the Chinese government is totally tmprepared in engaging the Chinese press effectively and has lost its ability for setting public agenda and shaping public opinions.

Abstract One of the main goals of contemporary media, along with the experts and professionals, who speak in them, has been to explain complex issues and provide the audience with clear descriptions of social reality. This is mostly achieved by the production of ideologically useful interpretative schemes that facilitate understanding of the issues present on the media agenda. An important strategy of shaping the public opinion in the way in which public affairs and the activity of social life participants is framed. Analyses of such practices have been conducted for over thirty years within various research approaches collectively referred to as framing analysis. This research provides several arguments helping one to develop a more critical perspective on the representations of social phenomena dominant in the media and discourses of symbolic elites (e.g. opinion writers, academics, experts, journalists, politicians), along with the analyses of the origin of such phenomena, moral judgements and preferred "corrective policies". One of the phenomena defined by the media in Europe as the most important one for the past several years, is the so-called "New Right". The aim of the paper is to analyse the interpretative schemes used by the journalists of four Polish opinion-forming weeklies and to describe the activity of its German manifestation – the Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the Occident (Pegida) social movement and the Alternative for Germany party (AfD).
