Die Verantwortung des Journalisten: Individual- und professionsethische Maximen (essentials)
by Walter Hömberg Christian KlenkMedienethische Richtlinien wie der Pressekodex des Deutschen Presserates bieten Journalisten ohne Zweifel eine wichtige Entscheidungshilfe bei ethischen Abwägungen in Fragen von Recherche und Veröffentlichung. Doch Richtlinien, die zwangsläufig allgemein gehalten sein müssen, verwenden dehnbare Begriffe und hinken zuweilen der Entwicklung hinterher. Journalisten sollten sich daher nicht allein auf geschriebene Empfehlungen verlassen, sondern ihr Handeln stets verantwortungsbewusst auf mögliche Folgen hin kritisch hinterfragen. Der Beitrag ruft Journalisten, aber auch Medienunternehmen und Publikum dazu auf, sich ihrer eigenen Verantwortung innerhalb des massenmedialen Kommunikationsprozesses bewusst zu sein und diese wahrzunehmen.
Die Wahrheit der Medien: Wie wir Orientierung zwischen Vielfalt und Fake finden
by Holger FriedrichsLügenpresse, Fake News, postfaktisches Zeitalter – Begriffe, die aktuell relevanter sind denn je. Obgleich Geschichten so alt sind wie die Menschheit selbst, hat besonders der Begriff des Narrativs vor dem Hintergrund der medialen Berichterstattung einen regelrechten Diskurs ausgelöst. Es gibt viele, die sich lautstark gegen die Medien aufbäumen, aber nur wenige, die die Thematik ganzheitlich betrachten. In diesem Buch nimmt der Autor nicht nur auf realistische Art und Weise die Perspektive der Medien ein, sondern ergreift Partei für sie – mit einer umfassenden Bestandsaufnahme, die unterschiedlichste Disziplinen vereint. Aus Sicht eines studierten Philosophen und Kommunikationsexperten beleuchtet diese Verteidigungsschrift das Zusammenspiel von Narrativen und Emotionen in den Medien und schafft eine solide Basis für alle, die sich realitätsnah mit aktuellen Entwicklungen auseinandersetzen wollen. Lügenpresse ist ein böses Wort, Philosophie und Kommunikationstheorien schwere Kost. Mit Beispielen aus der Praxis und mutigen Überlegungen bildet dieses Buch eine Brücke zwischen Theorie und Praxis, die aufschlussreiche Perspektiven und neue Denkanstöße bereithält. Der Autor scheut sich dabei nicht, klar Stellung zu beziehen – manchmal auch mit einem Augenzwinkern. Ein schwieriges Thema, das leicht zu lesen ist.

Diez razones para borrar tus redes sociales de inmediato
by Jaron LanierUn brillante manifiesto que llama a la acción para comenzar a reinventar Internet. ¿Te cuesta imaginar una vida sin redes sociales? ¿Y si te dieran 10 argumentos explicando la toxicidad de sus efectos? En este libro, Jaron Lanier nos explica con una contundencia abrumadora como las redes sociales, al desplegar una vigilancia constante y manipular el inconsciente de sus usuarios, nos están convirtiendo en personas rencorosas, tristes, asustadizas, poco empáticas, aisladas y triviales. Si quieres una vida más feliz, un mundo más justo y pacífico, o simplemente la oportunidad de pensar por ti mismo sin ser monitoreado e influenciado por las corporaciones más ricas de la historia, lo mejor que puedes hacer es cancelar tus cuentas. Ahora. Reseñas:«Jaron Lanier es un genio.»Sunday Times «Mezcla sabiduría profética con una simple practicidad. Lectura esencial.»The New York Times «El título lo dice todo... Lanier aboga por desanclarse de las redes sociales, que fomentan la adicción y la anomia y en general nos hacen sentir peor y más temerosos el uno del otro y del mundo. El experimento podría ser útil, aunque oscurecerá los corazones de los señores oscuros, un argumento ganador por sí mismo.»Kirkus Reviews

Different Global Journalisms: Cultures and Contexts (Palgrave Studies in Journalism and the Global South)
by Saba Bebawi Oxana OnilovThis edited collection seeks to better understand how journalism across cultures differs, presenting an in-depth exploration of global practices that departs from the typical Western-centric approach. Journalists across the world are trained, generally speaking, within Western models of reporting and are taught to do so as a practice where reporters need to aspire and aim for. Yet what such training is short of achieving is teaching reporters how to 'do' journalism within their own environments. In turn, what is required is a method of journalistic training and practice that is reflective of the actual practice reporters encounter on the ground. In order to do so, a better understanding of how journalism is practised in different parts of the world, the context surrounding such practices, the issues and challenges associated, and the positive practices that Western journalism can offer, is necessary. Promoting and deploying a culturally-specific and politically-relevant journalism, this book provides just that.

Difficult Death, Dying and the Dead in Media and Culture
by Sharon Coleclough Bethan Michael-Fox Renske VisserThis book responds to a growing interest in death, dying and the dead within and beyond the field of death studies. The collection defines an understanding of ‘difficult death’ and examines the differences between death, dying and the dead, as well as exploring the ethical challenges of researching death in mediated form. The collection is attendant to the ways in which difficult deaths are imbricated in power structures both before and after they become mediatised in culture. As such, the work navigates the many political and social complexities and inequalities – what might be deemed the difficulties – of death, dying and the dead. The book seeks to expand understandings of the difficulty of death in media and culture through a wide range of chapters from different contexts focused on literature, film, television, and in online environments, as well as several chapters examining news reportage of difficult deaths.
Diffusion of Innovations, 4th Edition
by Everett M. RogersSince the first edition of this landmark book was published in 1962, Everett Rogers's name has become "virtually synonymous with the study of diffusion of innovations," according to Choice. The second and third editions of Diffusion of Innovations became the standard textbook and reference on diffusion studies. Now, in the fourth edition, Rogers presents the culmination of more than thirty years of research that will set a new standard for analysis and inquiry. The fourth edition is (1) a revision of the theoretical framework and the research evidence supporting this model of diffusion, and (2) a new intellectual venture, in that new concepts and new theoretical viewpoints are introduced. This edition differs from its predecessors in that it takes a much more critical stance in its review and synthesis of 5,000 diffusion publications. During the past thirty years or so, diffusion research has grown to be widely recognized, applied and admired, but it has also been subjected to both constructive and destructive criticism. This criticism is due in large part to the stereotyped and limited ways in which many diffusion scholars have defined the scope and method of their field of study. Rogers analyzes the limitations of previous diffusion studies, showing, for example, that the convergence model, by which participants create and share information to reach a mutual understanding, more accurately describes diffusion in most cases than the linear model. Rogers provides an entirely new set of case examples, from the Balinese Water Temple to Nintendo videogames, that beautifully illustrate his expansive research, as well as a completely revised bibliography covering all relevant diffusion scholarship in the past decade. Most important, he discusses recent research and current topics, including social marketing, forecasting the rate of adoption, technology transfer, and more. This all-inclusive work will be essential reading for scholars and students in the fields of communications, marketing, geography, economic development, political science, sociology, and other related fields for generations to come.

DIGICOMPASS: Navigating Digital Multiliteracies in Global Language Education
by Sonia RoccaThis book addresses the urgent need for an educational framework that integrates digital multiliteracies with global competence. As technology reshapes how we communicate, learn, and work, educators face the challenge of preparing students not just academically but as informed, ethical participants in a digital and global community. Furthermore, as classrooms become more culturally diverse, the importance of inclusive practices and intercultural competence cannot be overstated. The author sets out to resolve a gap in current educational practices that often separate technology integration, language learning, and global education into distinct compartments. This separation fails to equip learners with the holistic skill set required in the 21st century. The book proposes a transformative approach that synergizes these elements, presenting a comprehensive curriculum framework designed to cultivate digitally literate, globally competent, and socially responsible individuals. By providing practical strategies, theoretical foundations, and real-world applications, DIGICOMPASS aims to revolutionize global language education. It not only advocates for the integration of adaptive learning technologies and digital multiliteracies but also emphasizes the importance of fostering an inclusive, culturally aware, and ethically engaged learning environment. This comprehensive approach addresses the modern educational landscape's complexities, preparing learners to thrive in a culturally diverse and digitally interconnected world. The book will be of particular interest to educators, curriculum developers, policymakers, and educational technology specialists interested in integrating digital multiliteracies into language education. It will also appeal to scholars and students in the fields of TESOL, educational technology, global education, and curriculum design.
Digital: Fooling the Five Eyes (Routledge Studies in Conflict, Security and Technology)
by Melissa-Ellen DowlingThis book offers an interdisciplinary insight into the key debates around information warfare in the digital age and argues that transnational cooperation can mitigate the threat.States and societies are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-enabled information operations. From efforts to divide nations, undermine public policy, manipulate elections, and generate social discord, malign actors use the online realm to wreak havoc on our offline lives. The book explores the digital disinformation dilemma that confronts liberal democracies, reflecting on shared socio-political challenges and solutions to contemporary information operations amongst the Five Eyes states and beyond. The work aims to generate a holistic human-centric perspective on the challenges of digital (dis)information operations through interdisciplinary insight into shared challenges and solutions to contemporary information warfare. Together, these perspectives enable us to more effectively identify opportunities to address the challenge and increase the potential to enrich international collaborative efforts to safeguard liberal democracies from threats to their information environments.This book will be of much interest to students of information warfare, intelligence studies, foreign policy and International Relations.
Digital Activism and the Global Middle Class: Generation Hashtag (Routledge Research in Digital Media and Culture in Asia)
by Lukas SchloglThis book examines the causes of a growing wave of digital activism across developing countries, arguing that it is driven by social change, rather than technological advancement alone. Beginning with an investigation into the modernisation of ‘middle-income countries’ and its ramifications for political culture, the book examines large-scale social media protest during political controversies in Indonesia. The book connects empirical evidence to classic theories of value change and political behaviour. It departs from a narrow ‘digital divide’ framing whereby Internet access produces Internet activism. It introduces the concepts of ‘digital self-expression’ and of ‘middle-class struggles’ to capture the value-stratified nature of political engagement in the online sphere. Drawing on a blend of ‘big-data’ text analyses, representative opinion research and socioeconomic household analyses, a rich picture of the determinants of digital activism emerges. This truly cross-disciplinary book will appeal particularly to students and scholars in Political Science, Sociology, International Development, and Communication, but also to anyone eager to learn about political activism, social transformation, and new media from a global perspective.
Digital Activism in Zimbabwe: Dissent and Hegemony in the Information Age (Routledge African Media, Culture and Communication Studies)
by Tenford ChitananaThis book investigates the role of the internet and social media in political processes in non-western and non-democratic contexts. Using Zimbabwe as a case study, the book demonstrates how activists and ordinary people deploy social media, particularly Facebook, to subvert an enduring hegemonic state. However, the book also highlights how authoritarian regimes are in turn learning and adapting to the information age, challenging the impact of digital activism. Studies of digital activism in the Global South are often centred around democracy, but this book paints a more complex picture, examining the role and effect of digital activism in challenging state hegemony in authoritarian contexts. The book notes that while communication technologies help mediate activism, they are also simultaneously constrained by pre-existing and emergent challenges tied to the social and political context and the inherent limitations of those technologies. The book investigates the tactics used by digital activists, the contextual factors and restrictive political environment they operate in, including the role of pro-government activists, and ultimately, the impact of digital activism given these constraints. From the case of Zimbabwe, the book builds out a broader theoretical analysis of the evolution of ‘third world protest’ in the digital age, examining the limitations of activists’ actions and the ideological deficit in online activism to ferment a virulent counter hegemony.
Digital Afterlife: Death Matters in a Digital Age (Chapman & Hall/CRC Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Series)
by Maggi Savin-Baden Victoria Mason-RobbieDespite the range of studies into grief and mourning in relation to the digital, research to date largely focuses on the cultural practices and meanings that are played out in and through digital environments. Digital Afterlife brings together experts from diverse fields who share an interest in Digital Afterlife and the wide-ranging issues that relate to this. The book covers a variety of matters that have been neglected in other research texts, for example: The legal, ethical, and philosophical conundrums of Digital Afterlife The ways digital media are currently being used to expand the possibilities of commemorating the dead and managing the grief of those left behind Our lives are shaped by and shape the creation of our Digital Afterlife as the digital has become a taken for granted aspect of human experience. This book will be of interest to undergraduates from computing, theology, business studies, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and education from all types of institutions. Secondary audiences include researchers and postgraduate researchers with an interest in the digital. At a practical level, the cost of data storage and changing data storage systems mitigate the likelihood of our digital presence existing in perpetuity. Whether we create accidental or intentional digital memories, this has psychological consequences for ourselves and for society. Essentially, the foreverness of forever is in question. Maggi Savin-Baden is Professor of Higher Education Research at the University of Worcester. She has a strong publication record of over 50 research publications and 17 books. Victoria Mason-Robbie is a Chartered Psychologist and an experienced lecturer having worked in the Higher Education sector for over 15 years.

Digital Audiobooks: New Media, Users, and Experiences (Routledge Studies in New Media and Cyberculture)
by Iben Have Birgitte Stougaard PedersenAudiobooks are rapidly gaining popularity with widely accessible digital downloading and streaming services. This book engages with the digital form of audiobooks, framing audiobook listening as both a remediation of literature and an everyday activity that creates new reading experiences that can be compared to listening to music or the radio. Have and Stougaard Pedersen challenge the historical notion that audiobook listening is a compensatory activity or a second-rate reading experience, while seeking to establish a dialogue between sound studies and media studies, comparative literature, aesthetics, and sociology.
