The Cultural Core of Media Systems
This book provides a theoretical framework and case study to explore how media systems take on the form and coloration given to them by culture and in tandem with the affecting socio-political and economic systems, which are also defined by society’s values, beliefs, and attitudes and even more so by those of its elites.
Handbook of Global Media Ethics
This handbook is one of the first comprehensive research and teaching tools for the developing area of global media ethics. The advent of new media that is global in reach and impact has created the need for a journalism ethics that is global in principles and aims. For many scholars, teachers and journalists, the existing journalism ethics, e.g. existing codes of ethics, is too parochial and national. It fails to provide adequate normative guidance for a media that is digital, global and practiced by professional and citizen. A global media ethics is being constructed to define what responsible public journalism means for a new global media era. Currently, scholars write texts and codes for global media, teach global media ethics, analyse how global issues should be covered, and gather together at conferences, round tables and meetings. However, the field lacks an authoritative handbook that presents the views of leading thinkers on the most important issues for global media ethics. This handbook is a milestone in the field, and a major contribution to media ethics.
BRANDING & ADVERTISING AND COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES
From billboards, print advertisement and the Internet through to TV spots, advertising uses various channels to convince the potential customer to buy a certain product or brand. Companies use advertising that is an omnipresent form of modern popular culture, as a communication tool to promote their brands and products to a mass audience in order to generate sales. Therefore, the message within the advertisement has to be as persuasive as possible to ensure that among other things pleasurable emotions and ideas are awakened in the consumer that are supposed to be linked to the product and brand to fulfill its mission – increase sales volume. Within this thesis interdisciplinary approaches for deciphering messages of selected car advertising were used. Multiple methods and paradigms such as cultural studies, media communication, semiotics, and psychoanalysis, were applied in order to analyze TV spots and print advertisements from a variety of angles. The results reveal that archetypes, symbols, and mythical narratives are a permanent feature of contemporary car advertising.

Conspiracy Theories and Extremism in New Times
Conspiracy Theories and Extremism in New Times outlines a cadre of alt-right groups, conspiracy theories, and other forms of stigmatized knowledge threatening our society. In an era dominated by the pervasive influence of social media, the scholarly gaze has often overlooked the ways far-right factions leverage these platforms to propagate anti-democratic ideologies. From the denial of the moon landing to the enigmatic labyrinth of QAnon, and a myriad of other alt-right groups in between, this anthology presents a compelling case for the continued relevancy of the Frankfurt School of Critical Social Theory. Uncover the intricate web connecting these ideologies to everyday life, and arm yourself with the critical insights needed to navigate the turbulent currents of our modern socio-political landscape.
Deontologia comunicării publice
„Mulți cred că o carte dedicată deontologiei profesiilor din câmpul comunicării este un proiect utopic. Realitatea din jurul nostru arată totala indiferență a celor mai mulți dintre specialiști față de etica profesională. Dar în urmă cu ceva ani era utopic să te lupți împotriva efectelor nocive ale încălzirii globale, ale E-urilor din alimente sau ale risipirii resurselor naturale. Iar astăzi toate acestea și multe altele sunt preocupări majore ale liderilor politici și ale oamenilor obișnuiți. Cartea de față ne arată cât de importantă este deontologia pentru reușita în afaceri, pentru prestigiul instituțiilor, pentru legitimitatea profesioniștilor. Iar ce poate părea astăzi utopic va fi în curând adevărul trăit și modelul de comportament asumat al celor care vor să rostească cu mândrie numele profesiei lor.“ (Mihai Coman)

Femicide across Europe
Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Femicide, the killing of women and girls because of their gender, was until recently included in the category ‘homicide’, obscuring the special features of this social and gendered phenomenon. However, the majority of murders of women are perpetrated by men whom they know from family ties and are the result of intimate partner violence or so-called 'honour' killings. This book is the first one on femicide in Europe and presents the findings of a four-year project discussing various aspects of femicide. Written by leading international scholars with an interdiscplinary perspective, it looks at the prevention programmes and comparative quantitative and qualitative data collection, as well as the impact of culture. It proposes the establishment of a European Observatory on Femicide as a new direction for the future, showing the benefits of cross-national collaboration, united to prevent the murder of women and girls.
