新闻发布与新闻执政的紧迫性

美国政治学者兰斯·班尼特在他的新著《新闻业:幻象政治》中,在对现代媒体运行和大量案例进行分析的基础上,讨论了新闻与政治,政府与公众的关系和新闻里的政治经济学,指出新闻的驱动力是经济利益,而不是民主。作者惊世骇俗地揭穿了媒体自由的神话,提出“言论自由并不能保证信息畅通”、“新闻也并非民主的保障”。作者批评当今商业化的媒体是一个饥肠辘辘的大怪兽,其特点是“个人化、戏剧化、片面化”,而且大量的软性新闻正在远离政治。他尖锐地指出,媒体喜欢一哄而上,喜欢群起而攻,并提出未来的公民要摆脱媒体的束缚。在中国大力推进文化产…     

转型中的德国媒体印象

德国媒体图谱看上去显得有些沉闷:传统媒体还活着但不快乐,新媒体很热闹但不挣钱。新媒体发展保持探索性姿态,是德国媒体的普遍选择。日前,本文作者到德国调研培训近一个月,除了与大学的专家学者以及来自欧洲记者联合会、德国部分报刊总编辑、主编等资深媒体人士进行交流,还赴德国期刊协会、《时代报》等机构实地考察,与德国同行展开对话与交流。有感而发,以中国传媒人视角撰写了一份调研报告,本刊分两期刊发。     

媒体扫描·观点

正媒体融合发展下传统媒体面临的问题观其在《媒体融合发展的内力与外力》一文中指出,媒体融合发展的趋势下,传统媒体面临不少短期难以化解的难题。一是内容价值问题。媒体融合发展须坚持"内容为王",内容是传统媒体参与融合发展最大的资本。今后在改进新闻生产的同时,如何解决内容的产权保护和市场价值转换是个大问题。二是人员问题。传统媒体和新媒体一体化发展,需要重组媒体内部组织结构,重构生产经营流程。重组必然带来人员分流。分流

传播治理的市场化困境——从媒体融合政策谈起

本文从近来国家推行的媒体融合政策谈起,剖析了市场化媒体的文化生产逻辑,讨论了媒体商业机制带来的政治影响。作者着眼于正当性政治、公共性政治与媒体生产机制及其培育的消费文化之间的矛盾关系,指出媒体的市场化发展路径不仅不是传播治理的有效手段,反而会带来基层组织力消解、正当性规范消散和传播民主化程度降低等问题。     

媒体·媒体人·媒体意识

这些年,一不留神,时不时的会在你眼前蹦出几个你也许闻所未闻的新词、怪词,这个年代似乎是个特别能制造新词、怪词的年代。这一点,新闻圈中人是特别感同身受。暂且不说别的,就说新闻圈中人自己的服务单位——报社、电台、电视台,不知从什么时候开始,似乎不怎么喜欢叫“新闻单位”了,纷纷代之以“媒体”的称谓,尽管“媒体”的称谓总觉得没有“新闻单位”来得顺口,甚至刚开始还有点别扭。

British Writings on Romania: From Travel Accounts to Studies

This article surveys a sample of sources of the information about Romania available to British readers in nineteenth century British newspapers and periodicals. It traces first contacts between the Romanian lands and Britain after the union of the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia in 1859, then after their independence from the Ottoman Empire. The article highlights an increased Romanian interest in British periodicals, which reported and reviewed Romanian literature and scholarship. The article concludes that nineteenth century British newspapers and periodicals offer a great variety and wealth of new material previously unavailable or unknown to researchers. It also states that only a portion of a large quantity of this material has been indexed and is therefore available via the bibliographic sources mentioned in the article. The author argues for the need of a new and updated British-Romanian bibliography, which can draw on new online resources offering access to thousands of new newspapers and periodical records.

Politicking for the Public Library

ABSTRACT

In today's current political environment raising support for millage renewals, bond campaigns or even millage continuations for public libraries is affected by national politics, and a tendency towards tax aversion on principle across the country. The lessons we can learn from the governing boards of small and rural public libraries are worth raising up to a greater national consciousness. Board governance, community consciousness, and facilities management are clear and logical tools that elected boards of public libraries can use to politick for support of libraries.     

Device-Driven Research: The Impact of Chromebooks in American Schools

Chromebooks and the G Suite group of products, like Google Search, Gmail, and Google Docs, have rapidly expanded in American schools during the past 5 years. The impact of one-to-one Chromebook devices and the pervasive use of Google's software products in American education cannot be overstated. This article explores some of the influences of these products on research, based on the experiences of a librarian and technology coordinator at an elementary education level. The author has several suggestions for effective research with these products in mind.     

Authorship,Gender, and Institutional Affiliation in Library History:

Library historians can learn a great deal from studying the gender of authorship and institutional affiliation of a scholarly journal. The focus of this study is to examine these two aspects of journal production in library history to see who is producing published research in this field. Twenty-three years of Libraries & Culture were chosen as the target volumes. The study reveals that more men than women published in library history as well as locating which institutions were represented. This type of information is usedful to the library historian engaged in the analysis of published scholarship, and more generally to scholars with an interest in patterns of literature production in fields closely related to the social and behavioral sciences.     

Architectures of Knowledge and Literary Tradition: A History of the Almanac in Croatia

ABSTRACT

The history of the almanac in Croatia is reconstructed through primary research in bibliographic and archival sources. The almanac is a vehicle for knowledge communication in informal contexts, engaging both oral tradition and literary forms traceable to medieval literacy and ways of structuring knowledge. The history of the almanac in Croatia reflects the changing context of the book trade, literacy, and the evolution of language. Four main stages are identified: (1) the beginning of the annual almanac in the seventeenth century; astrological almanacs reflecting the sensibility of the Baroque period; (2) the Enlightenment's stimulation of almanac publishing in the spirit of contemporary secular reforms in agriculture and education; (3) nineteenth-and twentieth-century almanac trade, showing complex and overlapping networks for the production, distribution and appropriation of printed almanacs;(4) roughly the end of World War II, when the almanac slowly moved out of the role of a popular mass medium and into specialized niches represented by regional, diaspora, and religious almanacs.
