Gyvename sudėtingoje skaitmeninėje tikrovėje, kurios pokyčių dydį ir pasekmes galės įvertinti tik ateities tyrėjai. Vos spėjame fiksuoti ir konstatuoti pokyčius, spėliojame rytdienos perspektyvas. Sunku apibendrinti, nes esame proceso dalis, tie patys informacijos kūrėjai ir vartotojai, sunkiai spėjantys reaguoti į tai, kas vyksta. Viena vertus, medijų ir žurnalistikos kaitoje galime įžvelgti evoliucijos, laipsniškos raidos bruožų. Kita vertus, neabejotini revoliuciniai procesai, griaunantys nusistovėjusią masinės komunikacijos ir informacijos sistemos tvarką. Mūsų siekis šiame tekste – fiksuoti šiandienos situaciją, apibendrinti pasaulio patirtį ir atkreipti dėmesį į tam tikras išryškėjusias tendencijas bei prieštaras, kai sėkmės sulaukia ir naujoviški skaitmeninės eros žurnalistikos projektai, ir konservatyvus tradicinės žiniasklaidos turinio ir formos išsaugojimas.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: medijos, žiniasklaida, žurnalistika, skaitmeninė era, daugiaterpė raiška, turinio industrializacija. Journalism 2.0. Revolution of evolution?Žygintas Pečiulis We live in a complicated digital reality whose outcomes and weight of changes can be estimated only by future researchers. We hardly trace and state changes, trying to guess the perspectives of tomorrow. As we are part of this process (creators and users of information), it is difficult to generalize and to respond to what is happening. On the one hand, we can see the attributes of evolution and gradual development in the changing media and journalism. On the other hand, unequivocal revolutionary processes demolish the established order of the mass media and information system. This study attempts to capture the current situation, to summarize the global experience, and to spotlight the main trends. We note the contradictions when the conservative retention of the traditional media content and form is similarly successful as the innovative digital era media projects.Keywords: media, mass media, journalism, digital era, multimodal expression, content industrialization.

The gadget’s software applications nowadays appear to be highly popular and its use has been elevating among gadget users. This kind of technological advance also touched the Qur’anic learning process in Indonesia. On the one hand, not only does the emergence of Qur’anic learning software stimulate children’s interest, but it also provides a lot of features that will make children quickly understand and practice the Qur’anic reciting. On the other hand, this kind of learning method can threat the value of Qur’anic orthodoxy which had been applied among traditional Muslim societies since the emergence of Islam in Indonesia. Some resources have noted that there were some sacred values and courtesies perpetuated by traditional Muslims while teaching Qur’anic reciting. This article will track the historical journey of Qur’anic learnings in Indonesia and discuss how the emergence of Qur’anic Learning software (as the logical consequence of technological improvement) can threat the existence of some ancient orthodoxies toward the Qur’an.

This chapter considers the role of seen and unseen infrastructures in the material transmission and circulation of May Irwin’s (1862–1938) famous “Frog Song.” Just as ontologies of music shift in our digital era, the chapter peels back the hazy ontological histories of this song—as material commodity, technology, and memory—to consider its ramifications as a musical object replete with racial and social meanings. The argument developed here brings together aspects of the “hard” infrastructures of song sheet publishing, paper, and lithography, on the one hand, and the “soft” infrastructures of race, body, and memory, on the other. More specifically, the material resources of the song’s production—in printed page, body, and recorded sound—illuminate the shadowy histories of this song and emphasize how these materials reconfigure shifting notions of gender and race across cultural and historical boundaries into the twenty-first century.

W. Lance Bennett is rightly pessimistic about a state with government-run mass media, on the one hand, and unchecked corruption, on the other. The massive and partially acknowledged corruption operates menacingly at all levels of society, a phenomenon mainly of the post-Soviet period. And the situation is bound to worsen as the economic crisis grows. However, it is unlikely that this decade of rampant corruption is the source of most heuristics that Russians use, for the derivation and content of shortcuts to navigate news tend to be drawn from early experiences under Soviet rule.

Coronavirus Infection

This article reviews the peculiarities of representation of COVID-19 pandemic by the Russian media. The theoretical-methodological framework is comprised of the philosophical and sociological concepts of fear, social emotions, social feeling, as well as information and mass communication theory. The empirical basis employs media content of the Internet resources, media discourse of news broadcast, and the nationwide sociological surveys. The article traces the dynamics of information materials related to coronavirus infection for the period from January to June 2020, which indicates the escalation of fearfulness of the media content. Such dynamics is compared to changes in in social emotions of the Russians, which reflect increase of anxiety and concerns, including the fear of getting infected with coronavirus. It is noted that the leading role in development of the fear of coronavirus is played by the traditional media, such as television. Characteristic is given to the information entropy in mass media, emerging as a result of the absence of accurate scientific records on the novel coronavirus infection. The author highlights the key contradictory theses of the Russian mass media related to coronavirus during the first wave of the pandemic. It is underlined that information entropy is a psychotraumatic factor that promotes mass fears and anxieties, and simultaneously, distrust in the official information provided by media. The peculiarity of representation of COVID-19 pandemic in the Russian media is also viewed in the context of interaction between the traditional media and Internet resources. It is demonstrated  that the materials on coronavirus posted on the social media are used by the traditional media as a factor of increasing the validity of media content dedicated to coronavirus infection, and as proof of actual threat of the outbreak of coronavirus disease.

Media plays a vital role in our society today. With the advent of mass media, including television and more recently, video and computer games, children and teenagers are exposed to increasingly higher doses of aggressive images. Media is a double-edged tool. On the one hand, it plays an important role in framing public opinion, and on the other, its character is to sensationalize issues to attract readers. But its objective should be clear; that is, to reform a juvenile and not to penalize him or her.  The article depicts the media's influence on juvenile delinquency and the tendency for delinquency. Several media reports show the cases of juvenile delinquency, with special reference to India.

RESUMEN:Las salinas conforman territorios de características singulares y paisajes de especial encanto. Su estudio implica efectuar una doble aproximación: desde un punto de vista objetivo, que considera los elementos y fenómenos que tienen lugar en un determinado ámbito geográfico; y también subjetivo, que valora las cualidades que percibe o experimenta ante él un observador. Nuestro objetivo es recuperar la memoria de los territorios y los paisajes sobre la base de esta doble perspectiva, y elaborar series cartográficas que sirvan de base a sistemas de información geográfica patrimonial. Para ello resulta esencial combinar una exhaustiva búsqueda en archivo con un intenso trabajo de campo. El resultado permite conocer la existencia pretérita de elementos naturales y construidos, así como de usos y costumbres perdidos que durante una época existieron sobre un territorio concreto y conformaron unos paisajes singulares. Entre el material de archivo, las imágenes, los mapas y los planos realizados antes y después del desarrollo de la cartografía científica resultan de particular interés como fuentes de datos, aunque su interpretación requiere contar con conocimientos especializados. Asimismo, las manifestaciones artísticas tienen gran valor para conocer cómo se han experimentado unos paisajes que son el resultado de las culturas sucesivas que los conformaron. El artículo se centra en esta parte esencial de la metodología.ABSTRACT:Salt flats use to shape territories characterized by particular features, and particularly charming landscapes. Their study implies a double approach. On the one hand, an objective point of view considers every element and phenomenon that take place on a given area. On the other hand, a subjective perspective allows to assess all the spatial qualities that are perceived or experienced by the observer. Our main target aims to recover the historical memory of territories and landscapes, on the grounds of such a dual perspective. But also, to produce the corresponding cartographic series that will provide the digital basis for a geographic information system focused on the cultural heritage. For this purpose, it becomes essential to develop an exhaustive archival search, as well as an intensive fieldwork. They will permit to get a deep knowledge of every natural or built element in the area, together with the old uses and habits that shaped the current territories and landscapes. Among the historic sources, old pictures, and ancient or scientific maps should be stressed, due to their interest as essential sources of geographic data. However, they must be carefully read, what requires a specialised knowledge. Similarly, the artistic expressions are of great interest because of their ability to show the experience of a landscape as a result of an overlapping of cultures. The article focuses in such aspects of a global methodology.

Advertising is an undisputed reality of the contemporary world, being a form of communication present both in and beyond mass media. With the evolution of the society, new means of expression have emerged and determined an expansion of the range of advertising products offered for information, persuasion and, why not, for enjoyment. However, as advertising expanded its scope, the meanings attributed to the concept began to change and broaden at the same time. In the Romanian cultural space, this evolution of the concept, as well as the increasing presence of English in all instances of communication have led to a dynamisation of the process of defining advertising, especially due to the new meanings revealed by the definition of the concept in English. In this context, the present article aims to highlight the existence of some discrepancies between the definition of the concept and the terminology already established in Romanian, on the one hand, and to offer solutions that smooth the way to a better equivalence of the meanings assigned to the concept in the process of translating it from Romanian into English, on the other hand. Considering the problem statement, our own observations and the data collected from the online survey carried out among the students pursuing a bachelor’s degree at the Faculty of Communication Sciences, two definitions of the Romanian concepts of publicitate and reclamă are put forth in order to bridge the conceptual gap existing in the Romanian cultural space.
