Earlier research has shown that public opinion and policy lines on the topic of immigrant integration are interrelated. This article investigates a sample of 24 countries for which data are available in the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX), the World Values Survey (WVS), as well as in the Worlds of Journalism Study (WJS). To our knowledge, this is the first time that these data are connected to one another to study journalists’ views on their role to promote tolerance and cultural diversity in societies with diverging immigration policies. The WJS presents an analysis of the role conceptions of professional journalists throughout the world, including a variable measuring the extent to which journalists conceive promoting tolerance and cultural diversity as one of their tasks. Our findings show that journalists (as measured in the WJS) mostly tend to promote tolerance and cultural diversity in countries with more restrictive immigration policies (measured by MIPEX) and less emancipative values (measured by the WVS) Promoting tolerance and cultural diversity is associated with a so-called interventionist approach in journalism culture. Furthermore, we used cluster analyses to attribute the countries under study to meaningful, separate groups. More precisely, we discriminate four clusters of the press among the 24 countries under investigation.

Immigration has been a salient and contentious topic in the United States, with a great deal of congressional debate, advocacy efforts, and media coverage. Among conservative and liberal groups, there is a vigorous debate over the terms used to describe this population, such as “undocumented” or “illegal,” as both sides perceive significant consequences to public opinion that flow out of this choice in equivalency frames. These same groups also compete over the ways in which immigration policies are framed. Here, for the first time, we examine the use of both types of frames (of immigrants themselves, and the policies affecting them) in media coverage. Importantly, we also test for whether these various frames affect preferences on three different policies of legalization. Our results suggest that efforts to focus on the terms used to describe immigrants have limited effect, and that efforts to frame policy offer greater promise in swaying public opinion on immigration.

At the end of November 1755, news of the Lisbon earthquake spread rapidly to all capital cities of Europe. Horrific reports gave rise to a wealth of sensational journalism. As Samuel Johnson and others attest, this was particularly marked in Great Britain. The catastrophe remained a popular subject of flysheets, newspapers, and engravings for months on end. The event was magnified many times over in the eyes and minds by the popular press, which led to forms of public distress. For the first time in the western world, the press, on the occasion of the Lisbon earthquake, helped create the illusion of proximity and unity between the peoples of different nations in Europe. As Voltaire said, ‘L'Europe ressemblait à une grande famille réunie après ses différences’.

Printed publications are a separate direction for using the technology of augmented reality.In the press, these technologies have found their place in presenting relevant news from the scene, interviews, in advertising technologies and the like. However, today no medical journal in the world uses the augmented reality, and only the editions of the Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education and NAMS of Ukraine for the first time start the program of applying augmented reality for their materials.

The   little-known   factsof the work of N. S. Ashukin, S. I. Ozhegov and V. A. Filippov on the original lexicographic edition  of  the  1940s — “Dictionary   to  the plays of A.  N.  Ostrovsky”  is  analyzed in the article. The connection between the socio-cultural situation in the country and the scientific research of those years is shown. Special attention is paid to the facts of ideological pressure on philological thought. The circumstances that  hindered the publication of the Dictionary are revealed. For the first  time,  genuine  letters   from the participants in this project, telling about the ambiguous situation in Glavlit (Soviet Main Administration for Safeguarding State Secrets in the Press) and the intention of the authors to save the manuscript from death are published in the appendix. It tells about further attempts of scientists and their descendants to resume the preparation of the publication of the book in the  1960—1970s.  The facts given in the correspondence are commented on from the standpoint  of  history  and  philosophy  of science, the necessary references are indicated, possible comparisons are made with the events and persons mentioned in the letters. The presented fragment of the linguistic picture of the world is also considered  in  the  key of the development of linguistic personality and its role in the era of dictatorship. Attention is drawn to the high historical  value of the undertaken work and its place in the lexicographic tradition of the XX century. It is concluded  that archival materials  play a key role in reconstructing the real picture  of the life and activities of Soviet scientists, supplement the chronicle of science with valuable observations and contribute to an objective  assessment  of  the  achievements of philologists, show their firm position in upholding the interests  of  science  during  the dominance of ideologization in society.

The article examines the immigration and integration policies of France, Sweden, Germany and Denmark. It argues that there is a need for a more unified understanding of the concept of integration throughout the member states. Although European law does not regulate the issue of immigrant integration as it is a competence of the member states, there is a need for a unified understanding of integration. Denmark’s integration policy is described as an example of an effective policy that ought to be emulated, in contrast to those of other countries. The article concludes that the problems France, Sweden and Germany face in integrating newcomers are partly due to a lack of consensus about what integration ought to be.

The summer of 1908 was a summer of congresses in London. The decennial Pan-Anglican Congress assembled in July, the History of Religions Congress met in September, the Trades Union Congress held its annual meeting shortly thereafter, and the International Congress on Moral Education took place in October. None of these received as much newspaper attention as the Roman Catholic International Eucharistic Congress, which convened in England for the first time, from Wednesday 9 to Sunday 13, September. Many column inches were devoted to the preparations and proceedings; photographs were printed; and hundreds of readers’ letters were published afterwards. In reportage the newspapers differed slightly; in opinion, more so. Most of the proceedings were not controversial at all, consisting of liturgies, lectures on various aspects of Catholic belief concerning the Eucharist, and evening meetings in the Albert Hall. What excited the press and sections of the public was the proposed closing spectacular: a procession of the Blessed Sacrament through the streets around Westminster Cathedral.

Intercultural Integration

In the era of migration, cities play an important role in integrating immigrants and promoting social cohesion. Sometimes they create and implement integration policies different from these at a national level. The state-run civic integration programs question the thesis of the growing role of cities as these programs have resulted in centralizing integration policies and reducing their role. In recent years, large European cities have been implementing a cultural diversity management model referred to as “intercultural integration”. They have also adopted mainstream policies targeted at the entire population. In terms of immigrant integration policy Polish large cities have recently been following a pattern set by their Western European counterparts. This results from the availability of European funds and trends towards cultural diversity rather than challenges.

“For my part,” exclaimed Mr. Asquith at the great Guildhall meeting in September, 1914, “I say that sooner than be a silent witness, which means in effect a willing accomplice of this tragic triumph of force over law and of brutality over freedom, I would see this country of ours blotted out of the page of history.” In giving utterance to these remarkable words, the British Premier was thinking not only of the tragic fate of valiant little Belgium, but also of the life and death struggle for liberty and independence of another small state whose history and position are much less understood by Europe, or by the world in general—Servia. “Give a dog a bad name and hang him,” runs the old adage, which applies with peculiar force to the attitude of public opinion in this instance toward the Servian kingdom. For years the press of Austria-Hungary, copied unthinkingly by that of Germany and other European countries, has been at work deliberately giving Servia a “bad name.” Unfortunately there have been too many dark pages in Servian history—pages stained by violence, intrigue and crime—especially in political circles, not to give just cause for grave criticism. Yet it is manifestly unfair to pass a final judgment upon an intelligent and courageous people by looking only at one side of the shield.

Immigrant Integration Policy

The paper discusses the concept of a multidimensional and multidirectional process of immigrant integration, as well as the complex relation of immigration and integration policies. Although the growing importance of transnational perspective in migration studies suggests the reframing and redefining of the immigrant integration concept, immigration and integration are primarily in the competence of the receiving countries. In this respect, measurement and evaluation of integration makes the basis for integration management. Monitoring of the changes in the field of immigrants? rights and opportunities for integration in the receiving country?s society enables the formulation and adjustment of appropriate general and specific policies. Assessment and comparison of the level of development and characteristics of national integration policies, based on the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX), is an introduction into discussion on how different European countries are facing the issue of integration of immigrants from the perspective of eight policy areas. The analysis has been undertaken with the aim of pointing to the position of Serbia among the European countries, observed according to the degree of development of the immigrant integration policies, as well as the corresponding changes in the 2012-2014 period. Based on the analysis presented, it can be concluded that there is a need to encourage further elaboration and implementation of appropriate immigrant integration policy and measures, whereby Serbia should use the experience of countries that have high achievements in this field. This is particularly significant in those areas where there are low values of MIPEX indicators for Serbia (health, education) as well as their negative trend (political participation, access to nationality). In these areas state-supported targeted measures are needed. However, they can not be fully applicable given the small immigrant population and insufficient financial resources in Serbia.
