Australian print media framing of mandatory reporting

Mandatory reporting is a key aspect of Australia’s approach to protecting children and is incorporated into all jurisdictions’ legislation, albeit in a variety of forms. In this article we examine all major newspaper’s coverage of mandatory reporting during an 18-month period in 2008-2009, when high-profile tragedies and inquiries occurred and significant policy and reform agendas were being debated. Mass media utilise a variety of lenses to inform and shape public responses and attitudes to reported events. We use frame analysis to identify the ways in which stories were composed and presented, and how language portrayed this contested area of policy. The results indicate that within an overall portrayal of system failure and the need for reform, the coverage placed major responsibility on child protection agencies for the over-reporting, under-reporting, and overburdened system identified, along with the failure of mandatory reporting to reduce risk. The implications for ongoing reform are explored along with the need for robust research to inform debate about the merits of mandatory reporting.

Statistical literacy social media project for the masses

This article examines a social media assignment used to teach and practice statistical literacy with over 400 students each semester in large-lecture traditional, fully online, and flipped sections of an introductory-level statistics course. Following the social media assignment, students completed a survey on how they approached the assignment. Drawing from the authors’ experiences with the project and the survey results, this article offers recommendations for developing social media assignments in large courses that focus on the interplay between the social media tool and the implications of assignment prompts.

"Ei vittu, mennään röökille" : tutkimus sitaattien tehtävistä ja tekemisestä kaunokirjallis-journalistisissa lehtijutuissa

This research deals with direct speech quotations in magazine articles through two questions: As my major research question, I study the functions of speech quotations based on a data consisting of six literary-journalistic magazine articles. My minor research question builds on the fact that there is no absolute relation between the sound waves of the spoken language and the graphemes of the written one. Hence, I study the general thoughts on how utterances should be arranged in the written form based on a large review of literature and textbooks on journalistic writing as well as interviews I have made with magazine writers and editors, and the Council of Mass Media in Finland. To support my main research questions, I also examine the reference system of the Finnish language, define the aspects of the literary-journalistic article and study vernacular cues in written speech quotations. FUNCTIONS OF QUOTATIONS. I demonstrate the results of my analysis with a six-pointed apparatus. It is a continuum which extends from the structural level of text, all the way through the explicit functions, to the implicit functions of the quotation. The explicit functions deal with the question of what is the content, whereas the implicit ones base mainly on the question how the content is presented. 1. The speech quotation is an distinctive element in the structure of the magazine article. Thereby it creates a rhythm for the text, such as episodes, paragraphs and clauses. 2. All stories are told through a plot, and in magazine articles, the speech quotations are one of the narrative elements that propel the plot forward. 3. The speech quotations create and intensify the location written in the story. This location can be a physical one but also a social one, in which case it describes the atmosphere and mood in the physical environment and of the story characters. 4. The quotations enhance the plausibility of the facts and assumptions presented in the article, and moreover, when a text is placed between quotation marks, the reader can be assured that the text has been reproduced in the authentic verbatim way. 5. Speech quotations tell about the speaker's unique way of using language and the first-hand experiences of the person quoted. 6. The sixth function of speech quotations is probably the most essential one: the quotations characterize the quoted speaker. In other words, in addition to the propositional content of the utterance, the way in which it has been said transmits a lot of the speaker's character (e.g. nature, generation, behaviour, education, attitudes etc.). It is important to notice, that these six functions of my speech quotation apparatus do not exlude one another. It means that every speech quotation basically includes all of the functions discussed above. However, in practice one or more of them have a principal role, while the others play a subsidiary role. HOW TO MAKE QUOTATIONS? It is not suprising that the field of journalism (textbooks, literature and interviews) holds heterogeneous and unestablished thoughts on how the spoken language should be arranged in written quotations, which is my minor research question. However, the most frequent and distinctive aspects can be depicted in a couple of words: serve the reader and respect the target person. Very common advice on how to arrange the quotations is − firstly, to delete such vernacular cues (e.g. repetitions and ”expletives”) that are common in spoken communication, but purposeless in the written language. − secondly, to complete the phonetic word forms of the spoken language into a more reader-friendly form (esim. punanen → punainen, 'red'), and − thirdly, to enhance the independence of clauses from the (authentic) context and to toughen reciprocal links between them. According to the knowledge of the journalistic field, utterances recorded in different points in time of an interview or a data-collecting session can be transferred as consecutive quotations or even merged together. However, if there is any temporal-spatial location written in the story, the dialogue of the story characters should also be situated in an authentic context – chronologically in the right place in the continuum of the events. To summarize, the way in which the utterances should be arranged into written speech quotations is always situationally-specific − and it is strongly based on the author's discretion.

Is Habermas on Twitter? Social Media and the Public Sphere

Jürgen Habermas’s concept of the public sphere remains a major building block for our understanding of public communication and deliberation. Yet ‘the’ public sphere is a construct of its time, and the mass media-dominated environment which it describes has given way to a considerably more fragmented and complex system of distinct and diverse, yet interconnected and overlapping publics that represent different themes, topics, and approaches to mediated communication. This chapter argues that moving beyond the orthodox model of the public sphere to a more dynamic and complex conceptual framework provides the opportunity to more clearly recognise the varying forms that public communication can take, especially online. Unpacking the traditional public sphere into a series of public sphericules and micro-publics, none of which are mutually exclusive but which co-exist, intersecting and overlapping in multiple forms, is crucial for understanding the ongoing structural transformation of ‘the’ public sphere.

Shaping urban consolidation debates: Social representations in Brisbane newspaper media

Recent international trends towards urban consolidation, intended to reduce outward urban sprawl by concentrating growth within existing neighbourhoods, can cause contention in cities. Understanding how the mass media represents urban consolidation can lead to more informed and democratic planning practices. This paper employs Social Representations Theory to identify and understand representations of urban consolidation in newspaper media. The theory recognises that the media is a key purveyor of public discourse and can reflect, shape or suppress ideas circulating in society. This novel approach has not previously been applied to understanding social representations of urban consolidation strategies in the mass media. The rapidly growing and changing city of Brisbane, Australia, is utilised as a case study. Brisbane is situated in South East Queensland, the fastest growing region in Australia, and is governed by regional and local planning policies that strongly support increased densities in existing urban areas. Findings from a quantitative textual analysis of 449 articles published in Brisbane newspapers between 2007 and 2014 reveal key clusters and classes of co-occurring words that represent dominant social representations apparent in the newspaper corpus. The paper provides two key conclusions. The first is that social representations occurring in mass media represent an important source of information about ‘common sense’ understandings and evaluations of urban consolidation debates. The second is that urban consolidation is represented as a ultifaceted issue, including interrelated themes of housing,sustainable population growth, investment strategies and the interplay between politics and planning

Construing and Defining the Out of Control : Addiction in the Media 1968-2008.

The four scientific articles comprising this doctoral dissertation offer new information on the presentation and construction of addiction in the mass media during the period 1968 - 2008. Diachronic surveys as well as quantitative and qualitative content analyses were undertaken to discern trends during the period in question and to investigate underlying conceptions of the problems in contemporary media presentations. The research material for the first three articles consists of a sample of 200 texts from Finland s biggest daily newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat, from the period 1968 - 2006. The fourth study examines English-language tabloid material published on the Internet in 2005 - 2008. A number of principal trends are identified. In addition to a significant increase in addiction reporting over time, the study shows that an internalisation of addiction problems took place in the media presentations under study. The phenomenon is portrayed and tackled from within the problems themselves, often from the viewpoint of the individuals concerned. The tone becomes more personal, and technical and detailed accounts are more and more frequent. Secondly, the concept of addiction is broadened. This can be dated to the 1990s. The concept undergoes a conventionalisation: it is used more frequently in a manner that is not thought to require explanation. The word riippuvuus (the closest equivalent to addiction in Finnish) was adopted more commonly in the reporting at the same time, in the 1990s. Thirdly, the results highlight individual self-governance as a superordinate principle in contemporary descriptions of addiction. If the principal demarcation in earlier texts was between us and them , it is now focused primarily on the individual s competence and ability to govern the self, to restrain and master one's behaviour. Finally, in the fourth study investigating textual constructions of female celebrities (Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears and Kate Moss) in Internet tabloids, various relations and functions of addiction problems, intoxication, body and gender were observed to function as cultural symbols. Addiction becomes a sign, or a style, that represents different significations in relation to the main characters in the tabloid stories. Tabloids, as a genre, play an important role by introducing other images of the problems than those featured in mainstream media. The study is positioned within the framework of modernity theory and its views on the need for self-reflexivity and biographies as tools for the creation and definition of the self. Traditional institutions such as the church, occupation, family etc. no longer play an important role in self-definition. This circumstance creates a need for a culture conveying stories of success and failure in relation to which the individual can position their own behaviour and life content. I propose that addiction , as a theme in media reporting, resolves the conflict that emanates from the ambivalence between the accessibility and the individualisation of consumer society, on the one hand, and the problematic behavioural patterns (addictions) that they may induce, on the other.

Producing interactivity : Does media convergence promote interactivity and audience participation?

This study investigates the process of producing interactivity in a converged media environment. The study asks whether more media convergence equals more interactivity. The research object is approached through semi-structured interviews of prominent decision makers within the Finnish media. The main focus of the study are the three big ones of the traditional media, radio, television and the printing press, and their ability to adapt to the changing environment. The study develops theoretical models for the analysis of interactive features and convergence. Case-studies are formed from the interview data and they are evaluated against the models. As a result the cases arc plotted and compared on a four-fold table. The cases are Radio Rock, NRJ, Biu Brother, Television Chat, Olivia and Sanoma News. It is found out that the theoretical models can accurately forecast the results of the case studies. The models are also able to distinguish different aspects of both interactivity and convergence so that a case, which at a first glance seems not to be very interactive is in the end found out to receive second highest scores on the analysis. The highest scores are received by Big Brother and Sanoma News. Through the theory and the analysis of the research data it is found out that the concepts of interactivity and convergence arc intimately intertwined and very hard in many cases to separate from each other. Hence the answer to the main question of this study is yes, convergence does promote interactivity and audience participation. The main theoretical background for the analysis of interactivity follows the work of Came Fleeter, Spiro Kiousis and Sally McMillan. Heeler's six-dimensional definition of interactivity is used as the basis for operationalizing interactivity. The actor-network theory is used as the main theoretical framework to analyze convergence. The definition and operationalization of the actor-network theory into a model of convergence follows the work of Michel Callon. Bruno Latour and especially John Law and Felix Stalder.

Juoksuhaudoista yhteiskuntaan : Vuosien 1965-1975 sotilaallista maanpuolustusta ja puolustusvoimia koskevan joukkotiedotuksen diskursiivinen tarkastelu

The Finnish society developed rapidly in the 1960´s and 1970´s. This was result of international trends. Development of education, urbanization and wide organization of society increased discontent towards prevailing social structure and towards the power elite. Development of technology created possibility to present radical perspectives in mass media. This caused widely spread discussions dividing opinions. The purpose of this thesis was to complement research on national defence and the Finnish Defence Forces especially between years 1965 and 1975. The task of research was to clarify how changes in society and how the significance of this change was interpreted in public discussion about national defence and development of the Defence Forces. The most essential points for this thesis turned out to be discourses structured from public discussion. Main research material consisted of approximately 35000 news, editorials, articles and opinions presented in mass media supplemented by literature, committee reports and other archival sources. Frame of reference for this thesis is based on relativistic worldview. According to this, social reality is relative and there is no single truth. Environment has significant influence on the issue how knowledge and truth are formed. Data analysis was based on critical discourse. The key objective was to clarify the effects of broad changes in society using discursive methods. One essential goal was to form order of discourse using linguistic analysis and also connect discourses to wider sociocultural custom. On this thesis I came to the conclusion that on the review period there were five significant ensembles of discourse. They consisted of several discussions focused on different themes. The discourse of official security policy aimed to define national defence and the position of the Defence Forces as parts of foreign policy. Foreign policy is often perceived as the most significant part of security policy. Historical memory, geographical position of Finland and also the state contracts, changes in international warfare, tasks of the Defence Forces and increasing critic of national defence and the difference in thinking between generations formed the discourse of security policy. In the discourse of the liability to military service, the issue was about individual responsibility to society and national defence. Resisters and unarmed defence demands, encouraged by international examples were the themes. The discourse pointed out how mass media is used to influence and forced the Defence Forces to develop the practices in public information. The discourses of democracy and politics were closer to internal development of the Defence Forces to integrate more into society. The discourse of democracy focused in changing power relationships of the Defence Forces that were known as authoritarian. Issues like conscript and personnel union activity had lot of similarities to general social development. The discourse of politics presented how the Defence Forces were pushed towards parliamentary decision making. The personnel was granted the same rights as other population. Themes related to the discourse on the will to national defence were development of mental national defence, increasing education on national defence and creation of more open public information culture. According to discourses presented above I can state, that the position of the Defence Forces in society was changed between years 1965-1975. This change was advanced by the Defence Forces reformed attitude towards mass media and public information in general. Active participation in public information important became important instead of only answering topics. This positive development created an atmosphere, that was easier for the public to understand and create own pictures of the armed forces. Due to this, I can describe that the defenders and supporters of the armed forces were stuck in their trenches, until discussions presented in discourses and themes developed the Defence Forces to be better fitting part of society. Key words; society, national defence, Defence Forces, discourse, mass media, security policy, liability to military service, conscription, democracy

Media of communication among fishermen around Kainji Lake basin

The findings are presented of a study conducted in the framework of the Nigerian-German Kainji Lake Fisheries Promotion Project to examine the role and structure of communication in fishing villages around Kainji Lake in Nigeria. The major aim was to be able to utilize the knowledge at a later stage in the project cycle to pass on fisheries extension messages to fishing communities. The study had the following terms of reference: 1) describe the structure and processes of communication of fishermen around Kainji Lake; 2) identify the formal and informal media of communication used by the fishermen to communicate information concerning their job; 3) describe the problems inhibiting usage of the different media identified; 4) ascertain the extent of use of mass media by fishermen around the lake; and, 5) identify acceptable ways by which fisheries information can be repackaged for the use of extension workers.

Representações sociais e construção da identidade de cabo-verdianos no Rio de Janeiro: estudantes, imigrantes e descendentes

A presente pesquisa que ora se apresenta trata das representações sociais da comunidade cabo-verdiana residente no Rio de Janeiro sobre diversos objetos que estão implicados no processo de construção de suas identidades, no entrecruzamento das culturas e identidades cabo-verdianas e brasileiras. Nesse sentido, realizou-se um estudo comparativo entre três grupos de cabo-verdianos residentes no Rio de Janeiro. As entrevistas realizadas com 20 estudantes, 20 imigrantes e 10 brasileiros filhos de cabo-verdianos residentes no Brasil permitiram identificar conteúdos mais específicos, diversificados e detalhados das representações formadas por eles acerca do Brasil e do povo brasileiro, bem como das suas próprias relações com os países de origem e de acolhimento, bem como com os seus respectivos povos, o que, em última análise, consubstancia as identidades sociais próprias que terão reconstruído durante a sua permanência aquém do ou melhor, de parte do Oceano Atlântico. A teoria das Representações Sociais, desenvolvida por Serge Moscovici (1961) se constituiu em uma valiosa sustentação teórica para o presente estudo. Por meio da pesquisa comparativa das representações sociais dos distintos grupos de cabo-verdianos no Rio de Janeiro acerca de variados aspectos dos seus contextos sócio-culturais de origem e de acolhimento, foi possível compreender o complexo processo de construção, reconstrução e atualização das suas respectivas identidades. É isso que se acredita ter aqui demonstrado no que se refere às trajetórias dos estudantes e imigrantes cabo-verdianos, bem como às histórias de vida dos filhos destes, no Brasil e, em especial, no Rio de Janeiro. É nessa perspectiva que os cabo-verdianos no Rio de Janeiro tomados tanto como sujeitos quanto como objetos de representação, na presente pesquisa têm construído um conhecimento ao mesmo tempo, prático e reflexivo da sua inserção nos contextos brasileiro e carioca, através do contato face a face com a sociedade receptora e, no caso de dois desses grupos (estudantes e imigrantes), a partir das representações que já haviam elaborado no país de origem, sob a influência dos meios de comunicação de massa. Assim, com base na hibridização cultural e identitária dos cabo-verdianos, procurou-se compreender de forma mais ampla e circunstanciada o processo de (re) construção das identidades dos estudantes, imigrantes e dos descendentes destes no Rio de Janeiro. Tais mudanças mostraram-se mais visíveis nos convívios sociais em que os grupos cabo-verdianos participam em diferentes espaços sociais desta cidade, nas próprias residências, nas sedes de associações, as quais participam, não só cabo-verdianos, mas, também, alguns brasileiros e outros africanos. Nestes convívios, notam-se diferenças de relacionamento entre eles, estruturam-se em pequenos grupos, ocorrendo uma intensificação das aproximações identitárias e representacionais. As mudanças que foram observadas superficialmente entre os estudantes são, por conseguinte, mais intensas entre os cabo-verdianos imigrantes, em virtude do maior tempo e freqüência cotidiana da comunicação e da troca de experiências com mais variados estratos da população brasileira, o que se aproxima a uma autêntica fusão cultural. Não obstante, constatou-se que, nesse processo, a comunidade imigrante perdeu alguns elementos importantes da cultura cabo-verdiana, o principal dos quais foi a língua crioula. A perda do crioulo representa uma descontinuidade na reprodução da identidade cabo-verdiana pelos imigrantes no Brasil. Nesse sentido, os brasileiros filhos de pais cabo-verdianos não tiveram acesso a esse poderoso instrumento de comunicação e de preservação da cultura cabo-verdiana. Esses cabo-verdianos imigrantes consideram-se bem sucedidos e avaliam positivamente a sua trajetória de vida enquanto imigrantes no Brasil. De igual modo, os estudantes se consideram realizados, devido à oportunidade de estudar no Brasil, o que representa a concretização de um desejo coletivo, uma vez que a instrução escolar é amplamente valorizada no país de origem.

O uso do vídeo na educação

Este trabalho objetivou verificar como vem sendo utilizada a videoeducação na educação presencial, buscando elaborar um levantamento dos problemas que podem surgir de sua utilização na educação à distância com mediação da informática E@D. Para isso, partiu-se da verificação de como ela vem sendo abordada na educação presencial e de que forma o cinema, enquanto obra de arte presentificado nos espaços educativos, contribui para a construção do conhecimento; e, em que medida, a videoeducação poderá ser potencializada, na E@D, visando à construção desse conhecimento. Foram considerados os conceitos de linguagem, em Saussure, e a questão sociointerativa, em Vigotsky. Paralelamente, no viés de Iser e Eco, mostrou-se a proficiência do leitor na construção do conhecimento. A investigação das NTICs no universo educacional fundamentadas por Lévy e Morin, e por Nóvoa, apontam em que medida o professor está preparado para esse advento e, se não, como ele incorpora o novo paradigma de aprendizagem, agora permeada pela cultura midiática, levando-nos a concluir que a videoeducação ainda não se constituiu como um recurso estratégico na ocupação dos espaços educativos, nem tampouco, nas interações cotidianas promovidas pelos sujeitos sociais

Quel est le sens de l’équation "Le media est le message?

Il y a un malentendu en ce qui concerne l’expression « Le media est le message » de Marshall McLuhan, car l'on méprend le sens du mot anglais médium pour l’acception canadienne de média, comme dans l’expression mass media/médias de masse. Dans cet article, Mark Federman, nous apprend qu’un media est une extension de l’être humain et que le message est le changement que le media suscite dans notre environnement.

Developing students’ ability to engage critically with science in the news: identifying elements of the ‘media awareness’ dimension

Worldwide, science education reform movements are stressing the need to promote ‘scienti?c literacy’ among young people. Increasingly, this is taken to include empowering students to engage critically with science-related news reporting. Despite this requirement now featuring in statutory curricula throughout the UK, there has, to date, been a dearth of research-informed advice to assist science teachers as they identify appropriate instructional objectives in this regard and design relevant learning activities through which these might be achieved. In this study, prominent science communication
scholars, science journalists, science educators and media educators were interviewed to determine what knowledge, skills and habits of mind they judged valuable for individuals reading science-related news stories. Teachers of science and of English from nine secondary schools in Northern Ireland addressed the same issue. A striking – and signi?cant – ?nding of the study was the very substantial number of statements of knowledge, skill and disposition o?ered by participants that relate to ‘media awareness’, an issue largely overlooked in the science education literature. The school-focused phase of the research suggests that cross-curricular approaches involving teachers of science collaborating with those of English/media education or media studies may best serve to address this important curricular goal.

Bullying nas escolas: prevenção e intervenção

A temática da violência (e do bullying) nas escolas em Portugal tem vindo, nos anos mais recentes, a assumir uma crescente visibilidade fruto de variados fatores, entre os quais podemos destacar o aparente aumento no número de incidentes reportados envolvendo alunos, professores e pessoal não docente ou, ainda, como resultado da maior atenção dispensada ao(s) fenómeno(s) pela comunicação social. Na relação que se estabelece entre alunos, o bullying (e ultimamente o cyberbullying) tem igualmente ocupado um maior espaço de discussão no contexto português pela elevada complexidade que o carateriza e pelas diversas consequências negativas e irreversíveis que acarreta para vítimas, agressores, famílias e escolas. Para que sejam encontradas estratégias e soluções eficazes na abordagem ao(s) fenómeno(s), torna-se necessário aprofundar – e partilhar – o(s) conhecimento(s) em torno dos fatores e das dinâmicas que caraterizam o fenómeno e que contribuem para a sua (re)ocorrência. Procurámos, portanto, refletir sobre o papel que a escola, enquanto organização com uma missão muito própria ‒ e todos os demais elementos que a integram (diretores, docentes, assistentes operacionais, alunos e respetivas famílias) ‒ devem efetivamente desempenhar no sentido de serem promovidas e implementadas políticas e medidas que possam acautelar e solucionar quaisquer manifestações de violência, com especial incidência nos episódios de bullying. Sobressai, em primeira instância, a necessidade de sensibilizar e de mobilizar toda a comunidade escolar, prestando especial atenção ao papel vital que cada sujeito desempenha. Destaque-se, por outro lado, a aposta que deve ser feita na vertente da (in)formação de professores, não docentes, alunos e pais com o claro propósito de serem criados climas de escola positivos e seguros. Dividimos o trabalho empírico da nossa investigação em dois momentos. Do estudo comparativo (resultante da recolha de informação baseada na pesquisa e análise documental) que levámos a cabo na primeira parte a um conjunto de doze programas de prevenção e de intervenção de bullying implementados (e igualmente avaliados) em países anglo-saxónicos, procurámos identificar os seus componentes fundamentais (princípios teóricos subjacentes às intervenções, objetivos pretendidos, destinatários, níveis/fases de ação, componentes/estratégias de atuação e materiais de apoio disponibilizados). Pudemos verificar que essas iniciativas assentaram numa perspetiva sistémica da problemática do bullying que sublinha a necessidade de mudanças persistentes e contibuadas ao nível da sensibilização, da consciencialização e de transformações nas atitudes da população escolar no seu todo. Este exercício possibilitou, por outro lado, a identificação e a assimiliação de algumas das boas práticas experimentadas com esses programas. Na segunda parte, desenvolvemos um projeto-piloto numa escola Secundária com o 3.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico ao longo do ano letivo de 2010/2011 (envolvendo diretamente na iniciativa duas turmas ‒ uma do 7.º e outra do 10.º ano ‒ e os respetivos professores), sendo de destacar que a temática se tornou mais familiar para a maior parte dos participantes (por via da mobilização, da sensibilização e da formação desses atores). Na sequência da aplicação de dois questionários a 190 alunos no âmbito do projeto-piloto, foi ainda possível apurar que as percentagens de vitimação de bullying presencial moderado se situam abaixo dos 10%, sendo que para as ofensas sofridas de modo mais intenso esses níveis não ultrapassam os 5% para qualquer uma das formas de agressão apresentadas. Os dados indicaram igualmente as ofensas diretas verbais e indiretas como sendo as mais frequentes entre os inquiridos, surgindo em terceiro lugar as de pendor direto físico. Os índices de vitimação apresentam valores superiores junto dos alunos mais novos, independentemente do seu género. Perto de 45% dos sujeitos objeto de agressão admitiu não ter reportado o sucedido a uma terceira pessoa. Cerca de 27% dos jovens confessou assumir uma atitude passiva ou de indiferença perante uma agressão testemunhada. Foi, por outro lado, possível constatar que um conjunto significativo de jovens admitiu conhecer um colega da escola que tenha sido já gozado ou ameaçado no ciberespaço.
