Futures of Journalism
This book examines how technologies are changing, will change, or could change the relationship between audiences and news media. It highlights how novel technologies could have fundamental implications for the way that news media interact with wider society. The book comprises of four thematic parts. Firstly, it focuses on the impact of technological development on the news media business, exploring how news media uses new technologies to improve their sustainability. Secondly, it considers the ethical dilemmas that arise when audience-news media relationships are transformed by technological development. The third part of the book approaches the effects of novel technologies from the journalists’ viewpoint: how do new technologies intervene in the audience-news media relationship through journalistic work? Finally, the fourth part dissects the ways new technologies can impact audience-news media relationships through transforming audience agency, audience preferences and news media’s understanding of them.
Trial and Error in Journalism and Communication Education
This book explores the challenges of teaching journalism and communication in an ever-changing media environment. It considers the classroom as a space of “trial and error” and, therefore, of necessary innovation. It brings together professors and students from different universities across Europe to recount their teaching and learning experiences. The book also provides training proposals which offer an insight into the ongoing international debate on which teaching trends and practices can be effective in the digital environment. As such, the text will contribute to strengthening the university teaching of professional communicators based on technological innovation and critical thinking.
Participation, Engagement and Collaboration in Newsmaking
This book brings together new research on the practices of newsmaking. Participation, engagement and collaboration have long been heralded as a vision, goal or emerging practice in the news. The claim in this volume is that they have now become sedimented as the common-sense baseline for everyday newsmaking routines. The issue for newsmakers is not ‘whether’ to engage with readers and users, but ‘how’ to engage with them. The contributions span a wide range of newsmaking contexts, including analytics-based online headline testing, the communication efforts of a Brussels-based free marketeer thinktank, collaborative science journalism and rapidly changing journalistic sourcing and wri...
Aussi noir que ton mensonge
Vingt ans après, une dangereuse enquête réunit père et fils et les met face à leurs erreurs. Alors que la neige s'abat sur Helsinki et recouvre le monde d'un voile de silence, Janne Vuori, journaliste, reçoit un étrange e-mail : une mine de nickel, située dans le nord de la Finlande, abriterait des activités illégales et serait à l'origine d'une catastrophe écologique. N'écoutant que son instinct d'enquêteur, Janne décide de faire la lumière sur cette sombre affaire. Malgré les réticences de son entourage, il se lance corps et âme dans cette investigation. À mesure que les révélations s'accumulent, les têtes tombent – au propre comme au figuré –, jusqu'au jour où Janne est lui-même menacé de mort. C'est alors que resurgit son père, après trente ans d'absence et une vie passée dans l'ombre d'inavouables secrets. Lorsque les preuves éclatent au grand jour, Janne, tiraillé entre le besoin impérieux de découvrir la vérité et celui de sauver sa famille, devra choisir sa place. Quel qu'en soit le prix...
Secrets and Siblings
Thirty-two years ago Mrs Li and Mr Wu from Zhejiang abandoned their second baby daughter at a marketplace. Mrs Wang Maochen from Beijing has seven children, but six of them are illegal so they could not go to university, could not take a job, go to the doctor, or marry, or even buy a train ticket. Zhao Min from Guangzhou first learned about the concept of a sibling at university, in her town there were no sisters or brothers. With the Chinese government now adapting to a two child policy, Secrets and Siblings outlines the scale of its tragic consequences, showing how Chinese family and society has been forever changed. In doing so it also challenges many of our misconceptions about family life in China, arguing that it is the state, rather than popular prejudice, that has hindered the adoption of girls within China. At once brutal and beautifully hopeful, Secrets and Siblings asks what the state and its children will do now that they are becoming adults.

The Uses of the Middle Ages in Modern European States

The Linguistics of Newswriting
The Linguistics of Newswriting focuses on text production in journalistic media as both a socially relevant field of language use and as a strategic field of applied linguistics. The book discusses and paves the way for scientific projects in the emerging field of linguistics of newswriting. From empirical micro and theoretical macro perspectives, strategies and practices of research development and knowledge transformation are discussed. Thus, the book is addressed to researchers, teachers and coaches interested in the linguistics of professional writing in general and newswriting in particular. Together with the training materials provided on the internet www.news-writing.net, the book will also be useful to anyone who wants to become a more “discerning consumer" (Perry, 2005) or a more reflective producer of language in the media.
Applied Parallel and Scientific Computing
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Applied Parallel and Scientific Computing, PARA 2012, held in Helsinki, Finland, in June 2012. The 35 revised full papers presented were selected from numerous submissions and are organized in five technical sessions covering the topics of advances in HPC applications, parallel algorithms, performance analyses and optimization, application of parallel computing in industry and engineering, and HPC interval methods. In addition, three of the topical minisymposia are described by a corresponding overview article on the minisymposia topic. In order to cover the state-of-the-art of the field, at the end of the book a set of abstracts describe some of the conference talks not elaborated into full articles.
