Melbourne: Scribe, 2013. 258pp. ISBN 9781922070548Stop Press: The Last Days of Newspapers: When Rachel Buchanan penned a commissioned article entitled ‘From the classroom to the scrapheap’ for The Age last September, she railed against Australian journalism schools, in particular, against an alleged ‘lie’ and ‘little integrity’ of journalism education. ‘Between 2002 and 2012, enrolments in journalism degrees almost doubled,’ she noted about what was troubling her across the Tasman. ‘We now have the bizarre situation where there are more people studying journalism than there are working journalists.’ The New Front Page: New Media  and the Rise of the Audience: The first in the series was The New Front Page: New Media  and the Rise of the Audience, by political blogger pioneer Dr Tim Dunlop, who tackles the reasons why the mainstream media industry in Australia and New Zealand have been so slow to embrace digital media and innovative 'citizen journalism' apporaches.

Media Practices

With new media becoming the mainstay of the journalism industry, there is a change in curriculum and pedagogy in journalism education. Even with Web 2.0 becoming the main source of news dissemination, journalism educators will still be required to impart skills to the next generation on writing with clarity, organizing ideas cleanly and working efficiently as a team. The change will be in the methodology, and has to be accepted by the institution at the administrative level first. Since journalism education is required to develop a rational capacity in future graduates, and help them attain all skills essential to understand the media industry with regard to new media practices and changing trends, journalism administrators and educators have to be ably equipped with the skills, only then these can be delivered to the students. The study is about private and public (government) journalism schools in India and focuses on their willingness to adopt the requisite skill set and display adaptability towards using new media. It includes interviews conducted with administrators (who are also educators) in government and private journalism institutions in the country, concerning acceptance of new media and adoption in curriculum, instruction, evaluation and feedback, and arrives at results interpretatively.

The Relationship

The study of digital religion and religion in the ‘new’ media, especially in tracing the transformation of communities, ideas, practices and forms of interaction which people tend to classify as religious, has already proved fruitful. What is not well-justified is the assumption that the ‘old’ media does not really matter anymore. This is something to be examined, although the structures and business models of the mainstream media are changing because of the ‘new’, digital media. Furthermore, we need to explore the interactions between ‘old’ and ‘new’ media, what emerges from their convergence, and start theorising about its implications in the context of religion. Some of the things that will be dealt with apply to the media in general. Only some are religion-specific. However, the intention is not to repeat what media scholars have already said about intermediality, media convergence and the relationship between ‘old’ and ‘new’ media. The reflections shared here are rather based on empirical research of religion in the media, especially in the ‘old’ mainstream mass media in Britain and Finland.

AbstrakPertumbuhan praktek jurnalistik saat ini menjadi tren tersendiri bagi industri media massa.Media massa telah memberdayakan masyarakat dalam membuat informasi dan sekaligusmenjadikan mereka sebagai produsen berita. Salah satu praktek jurnalistik ini disebut denganistilah jurnalisme warga (citizen journalism). Meskipun jurnalisme warga secara istilahmemang baru dikenal baru-baru ini, akan tetapi secara konsep praktik jurnalisme warga inisudah ada sejak manusia mengenal tulisan dan mengenal media sebagai saluran komunikasimassa. Citizen journalism menjadi penting karena bisa menjadi pelengkap bagi “lubang-lubang” berita yang tidak terendus oleh para wartawan profesional. Semakin terlihat jelas persaingan antara wartawan profesional dengan khalayak pembuat berita (citizen journalism)dalam kedudukannya sebagai insan media. Nyatanya, saat ini semakin banyak perusahaanmedia yang mempekerjakan jurnalis yang berstatus kontributor namun jaminan hidup bagimereka tidak jelas. Perusahaan media kerap memanfaatkan ketidakjelasan status ini, untukmengingkari hak-hak pekerja yang diatur dalam undang-undang ketenagakerjaan, engganmemberikan upah yang layak, enggan memberikan jaminan kesehatan serta tunjangan lainnyayang bisa membuat jurnalis kontributor bekerja lebih profesional. Di sisi lain, honor citizenjournalism di Indonesia justru cukup menggiurkan.Kata kunci: peran kontributor, jurnalisme warga, masyarakat informasiAbstractThe current level of journalism education is becoming a trend for the mass media industry. Mass media has empowered the public in making information and at the same time makingthem as news producers. One of these journalistic practices is called by citizen journalism.Although citizen journalism is newly known recently, but in general there are many mediathat are used as a media of communication. Citizen journalism is important because itcan be a complement to the “holes” of news unfocused by professional journalists. Moreclearly visible between journalists and newsmakers (citizen journalism) in his position as amedia person. In fact, today more and more media companies are contributor status andare still alive for them is not clear. Media companies often exploit the uncertainty of this status, to deny workers’ rights set out in labor law, to be reluctant to provide decent wages,to be reluctant to provide health and other benefits that can make contributing journalistswork more professionally. On the other hand, honor citizen journalism in Indonesia is quitetolerable.Keywords: role of contributors, citizen journalism, information society

The last decade has brought several advanced technologies for journalists. This in turn brought in a new era of revolutionary concepts of journalism. One among them is citizen journalism. Although the practice of citizen journalism existed centuries before, it is new media that has accelerated its pace in contemporary times. Citizen journalism is one of the most novel trends in journalism at present. Nowadays, several alternative news sources are available on the internet, such as blogs, social networking websites, etc. These offer a wide variety of news, thus giving a good competition to mainstream media. On many occasions, citizen journalists have reported breaking news faster than professional journalists. With the result, mainstream media no longer serves as the sole source of news. Many established television channels and newspapers are bringing in innovations in their operations to compete with what can be termed as new forms of journalism. The chapter underlines the significance and limitations of citizen journalism, which is only going to grow in the coming times.

Global Concern

The media industry, this chapter argues, has become a subject of global concern. The media industry has played a crucial role in fostering an uneven globalization, creating and maintaining indiscriminate conditions for global capitalism and too often promoting uncritical and unstudied narratives of the world’s market economy. In addition, the media industry is an oligopoly with less than a dozen corporations controlling content worldwide and attention paid to shareholder profits rather than social responsibility. Finally, the global media industry threatens local and regional culture and traditions. Although new, digital media seem to promise multiple, varied, and independent voices, new media are too often co-opted and controlled by the very same forces that make the media industry a source of worldwide concern.

This article will discuss recent trends in Malaysia's media surrounding the 2013 general election (GE13). It will argue that the GE13 produced two important trends in the media industry. First, there was increased political-party participation in social media, citizen journalism and blogging. In fact, it practically led to a ‘cyberwar’ between political parties, making the realm of the online and social media increasingly polarised and partisan. Second, many mainstream media outlets in Malaysia successfully pursued a platform of more ‘balanced’ coverage, suggesting an increased space of negotiation and contestation amongst the previously muzzled print, television and radio industry. This article will conclude with an assessment of the future trends in the media industry in Malaysia post GE13.

For better or worse, the emergence of social media has created platforms for a range of diverse voices often left out of mainstream media. In particular, Indigenous voices have found amplification through new media channels that allow Indigenous people to tell their own stories rather than being “othered” as a subject in someone else’s. Morgan Godfery’s Māui Street blog was a New Zealand example of this potential to subvert traditional political commentary. Beginning as a university student addressing a variety of Indigenous and other political issues, Godfery has carved a path over three electoral cycles (and counting) as an astute observer and analyst of political and social issues in New Zealand, the Pacific region and beyond. Outside of his blog he has written articles for online and hard copy newspapers and magazines; peer-reviewed academic journals; and book chapters. He has also provided comment on radio and television. Māui Street is now the curation of published pieces from across sources such as The Guardian, E-tangata, Overland Literary Journal and The Spinoff in addition to the original blogsite.

The rise of Citizen Journalism cannot be separated from the emergence of new genres in the media;the State of Citizen Journalism is inseparable from technological developments. The presence of online media currently characterizes the rapid growth of information and communication technology. The internet is a digital media that has become a symbol in the advancement of computerized era knowledge that gave birth to new media. The emergence of the internet, technology with the basis of this communication had a significant impact on the rapid pace of development in aspects of information, including points of reportage and journalism. Establishment of Citizens Journalism is born for the emergence of online Journalism. Online journalism has developed the necessaryfoundation of the concept of citizen journalism where the activities of citizen journalism are carried out using technology Digital technology is a technology that no longer uses human or manual power. Digital systems are the development of analog systems. Digitalization tends to be an automatic operating system with a format that can be read by computers. The term postmodern journalism is a reaction to modern journalism. A shift is not always formed from the revolution. The change from contemporary to postmodernism is a gradual evolution, in a process that is continuous through various periods and times. Postmodernism criticizes modernism, which has resulted in the centralization and universalization of ideas in many fields of science and technology.

Aotearoa/New Zealand has the largest Polynesian population in Oceania. Three Pacific microstates now have more than 70 per cent of their population living in New Zealand. Projected demographics by Statistics New Zealand indicate that the Pacific and indigenous Māori populations could grow by 59 and 29 per cent respectively by 2026. The Asian population will increase even more dramatically over that period, by almost doubling. Māori, Pasifika and ethnic media in New Zealand are also steadily expanding, with major implications for the ‘mainstream’ media industry and journalism educators. For more than two decades, diversity has been a growing mantra for the Aotearoa/New Zealand media. Initially, the concept of biculturalism — partnership with the indigenous tangata whenua— was pre-eminent in the debate but, as the nation's Māori, Pasifika and ethnic media have flourished and matured, and demographics have rapidly changed, multiculturalism and multicultural media strategies have become increasingly important. This paper examines the regional trends in Oceania, the growth of the indigenous and ethnic media, and their impact on the mainstream in New Zealand as an outpost of globalised media. It also looks at the evolving initiatives to address the challenges.

Media Market

Competition in the business and mass media industry globally began to be felt in Indonesia. This is evident in the structure of the mass media market in Indonesia, where media conglomeration has become commonplace. The industry and structure of the mass media in Indonesia has developed with many variants of mass media that can be consumed by audiences, whether they are conventional media types (old media) or internet based digital media (new media). The purpose of the research in this article is to find out the reality of industry and the structure of the mass media market in Indonesia. The research in this article uses qualitative research methods, precisely the descriptive-qualitative method, by focusing data from the literature review. The results of the research show that industrial conditions and the structure of the mass media market in Indonesia can be viewed from several perspectives, i.e. the number of media buyers and sellers, product differentiation, and barriers to competition. Meanwhile, to explore the structure of the mass media market in Indonesia, we can use The Theory of The Firm, which consists of four types of markets. The four types of markets are monopoly market, oligopoly market, monopolistic competition market, and perfect competition market. Media management from an art perspective can be used as a basis for the media industry; and globally, industry and the structure of the mass media market in Indonesia are not much different from other countries that adhere to the ideology of democracy in the world.
