Insight Into

This article provides an insight into the Belgian alternative media landscape. Ten French-speaking printed media are analysed to understand how they develop a socio-economic structure that allows independence from any financial sources and to establish their goals regarding the media and society. The methodology is based on interviews and analysis of the background and descriptions of these media. Findings show three categories of media: journalism-oriented (with the objective of practising another journalism); content-oriented (focused on specific issues); and counter-hegemonic-oriented (promoting another society). A clear distinction emerges between them. On one side, media-centred alternatives are developed by professional journalists, who may accept advertising and whose goal is to provide another journalism (deep or slow journalism) without the constraints of traditional media (speed, low-paying jobs, influence of capital, etc.). On the other side, society-centred alternatives are independent from advertising and are composed of non-professional journalists (volunteers) willing to provide a strong alternative voice and opposed to the hegemonic discourses of traditional media, an approach that is very close to activism.

The Media

AbstractThe emergence of antimicrobial resistant infections from food is well documented in the scientific literature but, in this kind of matter, the public opinion is an important policy driver and is vastly forged by traditional media. Here, we propose a text mining study through about 500 articles from two reference daily U.S. newspapers to assess the media coverage of this issue. Our results indicate that, since the middle of the 80s, the two journals considered here adopted a very different narrative around the issue, echoing civil society concerns in one case and the official discourse in the other.

Insight Into

The article focuses on the relationship between social and economic structure and household structure, on the one hand, and household structure and demographic behavior on the other. The analysis provides some insight into the factors that determined household structure and demographic behavior in the two nineteenth-century villages in the Loire district in France-one village agricultural and the other with a protoindustrial sector. Labor needs imposed on the household by the economy helped to determine the structure of that household, and, especially by way of nuptiality, such considerations could also affect reproduction. Nevertheless, it would be pressing the evidence much too far to suggest that only household structure determined demographic behavior.

The main purpose of this paper is to know and examine the importance of the role of public relations in developing media relations, both traditional media and social media used to build the image or reputation of the company. Media relations involves collaborating with the media in the form of printed media, electronic media and online media to inform the mission, policies and practices of the organization in a positive, consistent and reliable way. Typically, this means coordinating directly with the people responsible for producing news and features in the mass media. 'The purpose of media relations is to maximize positive coverage in the mass media

Cette étude propose une réflexion sur les fictions sérielles produites en Afrique par la chaîne de télévision TV5. Ces dernières années, avec l’arrivée de nouvelles chaînes de télévision , on assiste à une multiplication des fictions diffusées en Afrique francophone. Cette multiplication de séries africaines favorise d’une part une concurrence entre les médias locaux. D’autre part, elle favorise également une compétition entre les médias locaux et internationaux. Si la télévision joue un rôle -clef dans les dynamiques culturelles des sociétés africaines, ces flux télévisuels peuvent être utilisés à des fins d’instrumentalisation commerciales ou politiques. Par aileurs, cette instrumentalisation favorise le déploiement de certaines stratégies de conquête qui ne sont pas sans risque. Suivant une approche plus descriptive que théorique, le présent article montre comment ces stratégies favorisent de redoutables attaques dont les fonctions n’ont de limites que l’imagination des attaquants afin de détourner les médias de leur rôle initial.   This study proposes a reflection on the serial fictions produced in Africa by the television channel TV5. These last years, with the arrival of new television channels, we witness a multiplication of the fictions diffused in French-speaking Africa. This multiplication of African series favors on the one hand a competition between the local media. On the other hand, it also favors a competition between local and international media. If television plays a key role in the cultural dynamics of African societies, these television flows can be used for commercial or political purposes. Moreover, this instrumentalization favors the deployment of certain strategies of conquest which are not without risk. Following an approach that is more descriptive than theoretical, this article shows how these strategies favor formidable attacks whose functions are limited only by the imagination of the attackers in order to divert the media from their initial role.

Sharp Criticism

The recent publication of proposed amendments to the Films and Publications Act 65 of 1996 drew some sharp criticism from the media. Some organisations described these amendments as, inter alia, unconstitutional, outrageous and as part of the erosion of freedom of speech, while the Department of Home Affairs defended the amendments as an attempt to protect children from potentially harmful and age-inappropriate material. This discussion briefly examines the historical development of censorship as well as the current classification process in South Africa, followed by a discussion of the proposed amendments as well as the reaction thereto. The conclusion is that the media maybe has overreacted with regard to some of the amendments and may not understand the effect of the current classification process, while some of their concerns with regard to some of the other amendments may be justified. The true challenge will be that all stakeholders have an honest discussion with each other and would have to try and strike a balance between the important right of the child to dignity as well as his right to not be exploited, and that of the freedom of speech. The printed media also will have to realise that it is the duty of all members of society to protect the rights of the child and there can be no reason as to why newspapers may be excluded from this duty.

The paper examines the challenge posed by the globalization of the media to the cultural specificities of the countries of the world in general and the Arab and Islamic countries in particular. It reveals the problems of the Arab and Muslim media in facing that challenge.The problems become more acute when there is no appropriate media alternative, and with presence of the constraints that limit the function of what is available. The paper also suggests some strategies to meet the challenges of media globalization, an introduce and alternative media that employs some attributes of modernity, links the nation past with its present to build its future, and establish a culture of authenticity in a framework of respect and recognition of the other.

Abstract. Folk wisdom tells us that additional time to make a decision helps us to refrain from the first impulse to take the bird in the hand. However, the question why the time to decide plays an important role is still unanswered. Here we distinguish two explanations, one based on a bias in value accumulation that has to be overcome with time, the other based on cognitive control processes that need time to set in. In an intertemporal decision task, we use mouse tracking to study participants’ responses to options’ values and delays which were presented sequentially. We find that the information about options’ delays does indeed lead to an immediate bias that is controlled afterwards, matching the prediction of control processes needed to counter initial impulses. Hence, by using a dynamic measure, we provide insight into the processes underlying short-term oriented choices in intertemporal decision making.

Among the qualities that distinguish dance from other types of human behavior and interaction are the creation and breaking of synchrony and symmetry. The combination of symmetry and synchrony can provide complex interactions. For example, two dancers might make very different movements, slowing each time the other sped up: a mirror symmetry of velocity. Examining patterns of synchrony and symmetry can provide insight into both the artistic nature of the dance, and the nature of the perceptions and responses of the dancers. However, such complex symmetries are often difficult to quantify. This paper presents three methods – Generalized Local Linear Approximation, Time-lagged Autocorrelation, and Windowed Cross-correlation – for the exploration of symmetry and synchrony in motion-capture data as is it applied to dance and illustrate these with examples from a study of free-form dance. Combined, these techniques provide powerful tools for the examination of the structure of symmetry and synchrony in dance.

Karl Marx’s comments on silk manufacture in “The Working Day” chapter of Capital, volume 1, demonstrate how “quality”—usually associated with “use value”—has been mobilized by capital to naturalize industrialized labor. Putting his insight into conversation with a recent multimedia poetic project, Jen Bervin’s Silk Poems (2016–17), this essay examines the homology between, on the one hand, poetry’s avowed task of fitting form to content and, on the other, the ideology of labor that fits specific bodies to certain materials and tasks.

Discourse is a series of sentences that relate and connect one proposition with the other propositions to from a unity. The main function of the news is not to warn, instruct, and make the public stunned, the main function of the news is to inform and then it is upto the public to utilize the news. There are two ways for the news to be useful to the public, the first to effort news as general knowledge and the second to effort the news a tool of social control. E-Ktp corruption cases are one of the biggest corruption cases that occurered in Indonesia. Therefore, many mass media reported heavilly on E-Ktp corruption cases, one of which was the kompas.com. furthermore, to find out how the writer gets the source the writer gets the source of data and information the writer uses the criminology visual method and then analyzes it using criminology newsmaking theory. However, the results of this study illustrate that the aspect highlighted are those of actors suspected of being involved in E-Ktp corruption cases. Where the media only emphasizes one institution, namely the people’s representative council, even though in this case the involved parties are not only the legislature but case the involved parties are not only the legislature but also from various institutions such as the interior ministry, state-owned enterprises, and private entrepreneurs.
