The arrival of the internet has no doubt affected the media business. As of now, the amount of online media outnumbers print media. However, the presence of female journalists across online media newsrooms has not shown significance, especially in decision-making levels. This study examines female journalists working in online media. The glass ceiling theory is used in this study and coupled with the concept of jender and organizational communication. Phenomenology will be the methodology used to examine the journalists’ experience to reach the editorial leader level, editor, or assistant editor. The result of this study also showcases that media outlets with an equal amount of female and male journalists will have equal reporting duties and script editing regardless of jender. The tasks are adjusted to work schedules even with jender- related training programs given to anyone. Meanwhile, media outlets with more male journalists compared to female counterparts provide greater chances for male workers to reach the top level. Despite not annulling the chances for female journalists to reach decision-making levels. Female journalists who succeed in breaching this glass ceiling can do it by showing exceptional work performances. Female employees must be able to penetrate the patriarchal culture that still exists in several Indonesian media because the existence of female journalists provides balanced coverage regarding women.

This research analyzes the media landscape in Georgia from a gender equality perspective to identify the existing stereotypes dominant in Georgian media organizations. Georgia (country) faces the challenges related to femicide, domestic violence, employment of women, early or forced marriages, sexual harassment, blackmailing of female journalists, and there is a lack of awareness regarding gender equality. The study answers research questions: What sociocultural context and basic psychological motivators drive females to choose journalism as a profession? Is there any gender inequality regarding the workplace and positions in Georgian media (TV, print, radio, and online media) and if ‘yes' how does it present? Are there any predefined topics/themes covered specifically by the male or female journalists? What gender-related stereotypes (if any) dominate/take over in Georgian media?


The purpose of this study is to analyze the formation of a media consumption culture in the information-rich multiconfessional and bilingual region of the Russian Federation – the Republic of Tatarstan. The authors of this article conducted a survey of 200 respondents aged 19-55 who are active users of the RuNet. The survey was carried out among students of the Kazan State Institute of Culture and Kazan Federal University, as well as media professionals from the Republic of Tatarstan. The anonymous survey was conducted in January-March 2019. Of all the respondents participated in this survey, 56% were aged 19-20. Eighty-three percent of the respondents were female – students, teachers and media workers of the Republic of Tatarstan. Sixty-five percent of them combined their education with work. Ninety-eight percent of the respondents received information from the Internet, 76% watched information programs on television, 27% listened to the radio and only 7.5% of the respondents still read newspapers. Sixty-eight percent of the surveyed trusted messages received from news agencies, while 78% trusted news messages received from news aggregators. Ninety percent of the respondents trusted information received from online media; 11% trusted the information received from social networks and only 4.5% of the respondents trusted the information discussed in blogs. The high percentage of trust to information obtained from the media and the low percentage of trust to information obtained from blogs indicates the current culture of media use and media literacy of the population in the situation with fake news. Of all the respondents answering the question "Do you refer to the source of information you use on the Internet?", 91.5% answered positively. Disturbingly, 92.5% of the surveyed believe that they do not have to pay for the information received from online media. The authors explain the refusal to pay for content with a small amount of exclusive and analytical materials in the information field of the Republic of Tatarstan

Representation of a tourist destination on the media which able to reach around the world is very crucial in order to introduce and promote it to the large scope of the public. The internet, particularly website is one of the media to let people recognise and realise a destination as the place to visit. A study found most tourists visit and explore an official website and then to respond as if they were planning to travel to the destination (Jeon, et.al, 2017). This indicates that the official website still plays an important role in tourists’ decision making pre-visiting. Jakarta, for example, as one of a tourist destination, at once is also a capital city of Indonesia, central of business in Indonesia and a modern city. Therefore, the concepts of representation play an important role to depict Jakarta as a destination, for example, the use of themes to represent Jakarta as a holiday place on the website, such as focusing on the traditional and modern Jakarta (Djumrianti, 2016). Thus, the purpose of this paper is to analyse how the exoticism concept is used through twenty-five photos and fourteen sections of texts on the official websites which last update in 2014. The study found exoticism idea is one of the strategies used by the Jakarta government in the representation of the city on the Enjoy Jakarta website and the Portal Site of Jakarta Capital City. This concept influences on the commercialisation of Jakarta as a whole a tourist destination.

Средства массовой информации с развитием интернета из традиционных трансформировались в интернет-СМИ, в которые входят и новостные страницы в социальных сетях «Вконтакте», «Инстаграм», «Телеграм». Чтение новостей является одной из основных целей использования интернета и социальных сетей, что приводит к популярности агрегаторов новостных сообщений. Социальные сети отличаются от традиционных СМИ своей интерактивностью и большей зависимостью от читателей, поскольку успешность страницы зависит от вовлеченности аудитории, особенно от количества комментариев. Администраторы страниц заинтересованы в публикации новостей, вызывающих реакцию и споры. События, освещаемые на новостных страницах, затем переходят в другие сообщества, где продолжается их обсуждение. По отклику пользователей интернета на различные темы можно определять общее настроение общества. В дагестанских социальных сетях вопрос семейно-брачных отношений поднимается часто, к тому же эта тема стимулируется публикацией новостных сообщений о соотношении браков и разводов в республике. Так как большей частью активных пользователей социальных сетей является молодежь, анализ их мнений по вопросу семейных отношений может помочь в понимании будущего семьи в регионе. По результатам контент-анализа комментариев под постами о браках и разводах можно говорить о том, что, помимо личных, основными причинами как разводов, так и снижения количества заключаемых браков являются финансовая нестабильность, а также изменение общества и нахождение его на стыке архаизации и модернизации. Количество заключаемых браков в Дагестане снижается, тогда как количество разводов остается приблизительно на одном уровне, хотя СМИ сосредотачивают внимание в своих публикациях на разводах, формируя определенную картину мира у читателей. With the development of the Internet, the media has transformed from its traditional forms of newspapers and television into online-media, which also includes news profiles on the social networks such as Vkontakte, Instagram, and Telegram. Reading news is one of the main purposes of using the internet and social media, which leads to the popularity of news aggregators. Social networks differ from traditional media in their interactivity and greater dependence on readers, since the success of a profile is based on the engagement of the audience namely, of chief relevance is the number of comments. Administrators of social media profiles would more likely publish news that generates reactions and controversy. Events covered on the news profiles are then transferred to other social media pages, where they continue to be discussed. The general mood of the society can be determined by the response of Internet users to various topics. The issue of family and marriage relations is often raised in Dagestan based social media profiles and pages. This topic is stimulated by the publication of news reports on the ratio of marriages and divorces in the republic. Since the majority of active users of social networks are young people, analyzing their views on the issue of marital relations can help to understand the future of the family in the region. Based on the results of the content analysis of the comments under the posts about marriages and divorces, we can say that, in addition to personal factors, the main reasons for high number of divorces and a decrease in the number of marriages are financial instability, as well as a change in society and its transition to modernization. The number of marriages in Dagestan is declining, while the number of divorces remains approximately at the same level, although the media focuses its attention on divorces, forming a certain picture of the world among readers.

The fourth world conference on women in Beijing in 1995 was a springboard for women acceptance to explore various media possibilities to enhance their global visibility for societal recognition, address the negative media portrayal of women, and strengthen the gender equality struggles. Their platform for action on women and the media was to strategically increase the participation and access of women to expression and decision-making in and through the media and new technologies of communication. These declarations and strategies were clear indications and a call for creating new avenues for expression and participation for the purpose of empowering women. These plans of action and adoption of new technologies of communication must translate into relevant engagement with these technologies to be able to achieve the set goals. Engaging with technologies for leisure purposes (digital leisure) are likely to be of little significance to serious Internet activities relevant to women empowerment drive (digital business). The purpose for which women engage these new technologies should reflect issues that are in tandem with women empowerment drive. This Chapter examined what area Nigerian women are engaging the Internet. Findings showed that more Nigeria women access the Internet through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Nigerian women engage the Internet for both digital leisure and digital business but they do more leisure-based Internet activities than serious activities that facilitate women empowerment (their Internet activities are more leisure oriented than business oriented) The women Internet empowerment drive can only be realised if Nigerian women up their game in digital business activities on the Internet.

The power of online media to influence New Zealand local government politics was made clear in 2013 when a blogger revealed that Len Brown, the popular mayor of Auckland, had conducted a two-year, extramarital affair. The mainstream media picked up the story, Brown’s popularity collapsed and in late 2015 he announced he would not stand again for mayor. This media scandal was, in part, driven by the fact that Brown was a celebrity. Unlike several high-profile sex scandals involving politicians overseas, Brown’s career did not survive the controversy, perhaps because the public came to regard him as a practised liar. The media itself engaged in self-serving scandalous activity during the controversy. Today’s shock bloggers are similar to the proto-journalists of the 17th century. Members of new and old media researching the scandal treated their secret sources very differently. The existence of the internet means such scandals can now exist in perpetuity. If the Len Brown Affair was an example of the media fulfilling its watchdog role - by exposing a lying politician - it was also an example of journalists furthering their own ends - political and commercial - by appealing to their audiences’ purient interests.

The media have always had great influence on the construction of attitudes and opinions of the public, thus it comes as no surprise that they constantly adjust to contemporary tides and the ways in which the public obtains information. Thanks to the popularity and possibilities offered by the Internet, the media were forced to converge towards online forms of reporting. Besides this, the Internet enabled the removal of state limits when it comes to informing, so the public can learn more easily about events from all over the world. In this way, mass-media communication gets new outlines while directing social tides on the global level. Although such a trend can be useful, it can also carry certain dangers. Therefore, the new media can become a platform for international conflicts and lead to possible interruption of good relations among states. Considering the fact that relations between Serbia and Croatia are characterised by a now concluded war, this paper examines the way in which the Serbian and the Croatian online media report on the relationship between the two states from the perspective of political relations, media presentations of each other, as well as how large the role of the modern media is in provoking new conflicts. Using a quantitative-qualitative analysis of the content, both the Serbian and the Croatian versions of the portal “24 hours” were analysed within the period from April 1  to April 30, 2017.
