Religious Exemption

The debate in January 2007, as presented by the mass media, concerning whether an exemption should be provided for Roman Catholic Adoption Agencies from new laws prohibiting discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation in the provision of goods and services, rested upon two erroneous assumptions. The first was an assumption that awarding exemptions on grounds of religion was novel; the second was that the debate concerned whether there ought to be a religious exemption at all. This article seeks to engage with the real debate concerning the Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2007, which is not whether there ought to be a religious exemption (since one has been given) but rather the scope of the exemption. It also aims to show that religious exemptions are common in English law, including discrimination law, and to elucidate the various exemptions, paying particular attention to their beneficiaries and the basis on which discrimination is permitted. In short, this article seeks to understand the state of the law as a whole contextualising the recent moral panic.

The approval of the Law of Social Responsibility in Radio and Television to regulate the programmatic contents of the private television transmitters caused a collective debate. After that discussion, it is possible to be affirmed that the general intention of the Law is to order the operation of regional and national mass media, to take care of the quality of the programmatic content and to fill a legal emptiness in relation to a so strategic matter. The content of the Law means allows the public discussion of innovating procedures that can modify the interactions between the citizens and the average ones to obtain greater quality in the content of their habitual programming. Este análisis parte de una teoría explicativa sobre el poder de los medios decomunicación y la garantía de los derechos ciudadanos en democracia. En Venezuela hoy como nunca antes, los medios de comunicación audiovisuales, específicamentela televisión, deben fortalecer su función informativa en respuesta a las demandas ciudadanas y ser responsables por el desarrollo de una cultura política democrática. Con este propósito se debe profundizar en la reflexión sobre el rol de los periodistas y de las escuelas de comunicación socialen el fortalecimiento de lafunción social de los medios regionales y nacionales. Para demostrar estas premisas del trabajo, se ha seleccionado dentro del amplio espectro de temas que han provocado un debate colectivo en la sociedad venezolana, la pertinencia de la aprobación de la Ley de Responsabilidad Socialen Radio yTelevisión para regular los contenidos programáticos de las televisoras privadas y del Estado venezolano. Esta Ley entró en vigencia en diciembre del 2004. Se presenta un análisis interpretativo de la Ley, fundamentado en: el texto constitucional, las disposiciones de convenios internacionales, la evaluación crítica de periodistas en ejercicio, columnistas, escritores y docentes; además del aporte del pensamiento político de autores latinoamericanos. Entrelas conclusionesmás importantes se consideran las siguientes: se puede afirmar que el propósito general de la Ley es ordenar el funcionamiento de los medios de comunicación regionales y nacionales, cuidar la calidad del contenido programático y llenar un vacío legal en relación a una materia tan estratégica, como lo es el espectro radioeléctrico delpaís. Esta Ley de ninguna manera limita o coarta la libertad de expresión o el libre derecho a dar y recibir información de los ciudadanos.El contenido de la Ley Resorte permite la discusión pública de innovadores procedimientosque puedan modificar las interacciones entre los ciudadanos y los medios para lograr mayor calidad en el contenido de su programación habitual. Entre otros: 1) abrir nuevos espacios para la difusión de la producción nacional; 2) diversificar la oferta de programas educativos y culturales dirigidos a los niños y adolescentes; 3) regular el tiempo de transmisión de la publicidad comercial y 4) establecer tipos y bloques de horarios de transmisión, considerando el contenido de los mensajes y el público al cual se dirige. La nueva legislación de la comunicación en Venezuela abre una interesante oportunidad para queel ciudadano pueda ejercer la contraloría social frente a los medios.

Media Texts

Mass media is part of public space which cannot be seen as a mere passive hegemony. The discourse constructed by Tempo magazine reporters through Indonesiana is not completely neutral or naturally reporting news about corruption, and violations of the law. However, it has been influenced by the ideas or viewpoints of text writers (journalists) in responding to the events constructed in their reporting. This paper aims to show how the Fairclough text analysis tools work in dissecting dubious media texts.   Media masa merupakan bagian dari ruang publik yang tidak dapat dilihat sebagai alat hegemoni yang bersifat pasif semata. Wacana yang dikonstruksikan oleh wartawan majalah Tempo melalui Indonesiana tidak sepenuhnya netral atau alami melaporkan berita tentang korupsi, dan pelangggaran-pelanggaran hukum. Akan tetapi, telah dipengaruh oleh ide-ide atau sudut pandang penulis teks (wartawan) dalam menyingkapi peristiwa yang dikonstruksikan di dalam pemberitaannya. Tulisan ini memiliki tujuan untuk menunjukkan bagaimana alat-alat analisis teks model Fairclough bekerja dalam membedah teks-teks media yang dianggap meragukan.

In its fifth edition, The Politics of the Police has been revised, updated, and extended to take account of recent changes in the law, policy, organization, and social contexts of policing. It builds upon the previous editions’ political economy of policing to encompass a wide global and transnational scope, and to reflect the growing diversity of policing forms. This volume explores the highly charged debates that surround policing, including the various controversies that have led to a change in the public’s opinion of the police in recent years, as well as developments in law, accountability, and governance. The volume sets out to analyse what the police do, how they do it and with what effects, how the mass media shape public perceptions of the police, and how globalization, privatization, militarization, and securitization are impacting on contemporary police work. It concludes with an assessment of what we can expect for the future of policing.

Abstract: Land Acquisition for Development in the Public Interest in Indonesia still often causes polemic, as is still often found in various mass media. The problem in the implementation of land aquisition is because the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2012 concerning Land Aquisition for Development in the Public Interest, and the Presidential Regulation that follows it, has not rigidly stipulated the basis for determining the compensation value used to determine the compensation value. This research was conducted by making a comparison between ius constitutum and in concreto events in the field. Primary data in this study were obtained byinterviewing several sources in August 2017, which can be accounted for, while the secondary data were obtained byliterature studies. Based on the research, it is known that there is injustice in determining the value of compensation to the entitled parties. Seeing this, the author tried to describe the existing problems and provide solutions tailored to the situation and conditions in land aquisition in Indonesia. This was intended to actualize the value of social justice in the aquisition of land for development in the public interest in Indonesia.Intisari: Pengadaan Tanah bagi Pembangunan untuk Kepentingan Umum di Indonesia masih sering menimbulkan polemik, sebagaimana yang masih kerap ditemui dalam berbagai media massa. Permasalahan dalam pelaksanaan pengadaan tanah disebabkan karena Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 2 Tahun 2012 tentang Pengadaan Tanah Bagi Pembangunan Untuk Kepentingan Umum, serta Peraturan Presiden yang mengikutinya belum mengatur secara rigid tentang dasar penetapan nilai ganti kerugian yang digunakan untuk menetapkan nilai ganti kerugian. Kajian ini dilakukan dengan melakukan komparisi antara ius constitutum dengan peristiwa in concreto yang ada di lapangan. Data primer dalam kajian ini diperoleh dari hasil wawancara dari beberapa narasumber pada Agustus 2017 yang dapat dipertanggungjawabkan dan data sekunder dalam kajian ini diperoleh dari studi kepustakaan. Berdasarkan penelitian diketahui bahwa terdapat ketidakadilan dalam penetapan nilai ganti kerugian terhadap pihak-pihak yang berhak. Melihat hal tersebut penulis mencoba menguraikan permasalahan yang ada dan memberikan solusi yang disesuaikan dengan situasi dan kondisi dalam pengadaan tanah di Indonesia. Hal ini dimaksudkan untuk mengaktualisasikan nilai keadilan sosial dalam pengadaan tanah bagi pembangunan untuk kepentingan umum di Indonesia

The notion of an international Satanist conspiracy became prominent during the so-called Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) scare. This scare—also referred to as the ‘Satanic Panic’—peaked in the late 1980s and early 1990s. During these years, significant segments of the law enforcement community and numerous therapists believed in the existence of a vast, underground network of evil Satanic cults sacrificing and abusing children. Less responsible members of the mass media avidly promoted the idea as an easy way of selling copy and increasing ratings. Although the Satanism scare did not involve an empirically-existing new religion, it shared many themes with the cult controversy. Anti-cultists, for example, jumped on the Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) bandwagon as a way of promoting their own agenda, and NRM scholars spear-headed the academic analysis of the scare. In “Satanic Ritual Abuse,” James R. Lewis presents a systematic survey of this phenomenon.

In recent years there has been a growing concern about privacy in many countries. Consequently demands are being made that the law should afford privacy a more adequate protection. This new concern about privacy may seem surprising when we recall that people have always gossipped, that individuals have always sought information about others for various purposes, and that governments have always had an interest in knowing as much as they could about their citizens. The intensity of these recent demands for more legal protection suggests that conditions have changed, and that this change has created new threats for privacy. To deal effectively with these new threats we must first identify and understand them.It appears that a combination of various factors, all of which are somehow related to technological developments, is responsible for arousing this interest in privacy. First is the development of the mass-media, which removed the traditional limitations on dissemination of information, and created an artifical demand for such information. Second is the development of electronic devices enabling invasions of privacy which were hitherto impossible. Third is the development and use of computerised systems for the storage and compilation of information. The threats to privacy are evident. Information about us can be retrieved from the files, or sought by detectives or journalists aided by sophisticated devices against which there is virtually no protection. This information may be used against us or disseminated in the mass-media and thus become “public knowledge”. Movements and conversations may be recorded.
