Forensic identification of students outsourcing assignment projects from freelancer.com

This paper reports the increasing popularity of outsourcing academic works by university students motivated by the lure of lucrative dividends and visa opportunities. Due to a lack of formal methods in detecting such transactions, freelance websites are thriving in facilitating the trade of outsourced assignments. This is compounded by the fact that many university staff have neither the time nor training to perform complex media analysis and forensic investigations. This paper proposes a method to aid in the identification of those who outsource assignment works on the most popular site freelancer.com. We include a recent real-world case study to demonstrate the relevancy and applicability of our methodology. In this case study, a suspect attempts to evade detection via use of anti-forensics which demonstrates the capability and awareness of evasion techniques used by students.

Jornalistas correspondentes em Portugal. Um retrato socioeconómico dos jornalistas estrangeiros em Portugal

O objetivo da investigação para a produção do relatório de estágio, passa por perceber os contornos do dia-a-dia dos jornalistas correspondentes em Portugal, as dificuldades que, por vezes, esta profissão fomenta e as implicações de fazer jornalismo num país com pouco interesse noticioso a nível internacional. Diariamente abrimos o jornal, acedemos a notícias digitais ou ouvimos reportagens na rádio, mas nunca sabemos quem é o rosto por detrás da notícia. Excetuando os pivôs dos telejornais e programas de informação, o jornalista é um cidadão desconhecido que trabalha para o seu leitor e para o seu ouvinte. Também o jornalista correspondente trabalha todos os dias com o mesmo objetivo. Mas, neste caso, há uma distinção: o seu ouvinte está num país diferente, talvez até do outro lado do mundo. Os jornalistas correspondentes em Portugal são profissionais que, todos os dias, produzem informação para outros países sobre nós, a nossa cultura, a nossa política, os nossos problemas e/ou as nossas conquistas. Neste relatório, o objetivo primordial é descobrir quem é este correspondente, que vive longos anos no nosso país, nunca se tornando parte dele.
