Journalistic Role Performance
This volume lays out the theoretical and methodological framework to introduce the concept of journalistic role performance, defined as the outcome of concrete newsroom decisions and the style of news reporting when considering different constraints that influence the news product. By connecting role conception to role performance, this book addresses how journalistic ideals manifest in practice. The authors of this book analyze the disconnection between journalists’ understanding of their role and their actual professional performance in a period of high uncertainty and excitement about the future of journalism due the changes the Internet and new technologies have brought to the profession.
Publizistik und gesellschaftliche Verantwortung
Publizistik und gesellschaftliche Verantwortung – der Titel der Festschrift für Wolfgang Donsbach ist das Credo seiner akademischen Tätigkeit. Ob als Hochschullehrer oder als Präsident der International Communication Association (ICA) oder der World Association for Public Opinion Research (WAPOR) standen und stehen die Analyse der Leistungen der Massenmedien für das politische System, der Stellenwert eines unabhängigen und neutralen Journalismus und einer daraus resultierenden qualitativ anspruchsvollen Berichterstattung im Zentrum seines Schaffens. Das Buch beinhaltet Aufsätze von Weggefährten und Schülern, die ein gemeinsamer roter Faden eint: Die Überzeugung, dass Forschung nicht um ihrer selbst willen betrieben werden darf, sondern dann zu rechtfertigen ist, wenn sie sich in den Dienst eines pluralen, demokratischen Gemeinwesens stellt.
Public Sentinel
What are the ideal roles the mass media should play as an institution to strengthen democratic governance and thus bolster human development? Under what conditions do media systems succeed or fail to meet these objectives? And what strategic reforms would close the gap between the democratic promise and performance of media systems? Working within the notion of the democratic public sphere, 'Public Sentinel: News Media and Governance Reform' emphasizes the institutional or collective roles of the news media as watchdogs over the powerful, as agenda setters calling attention to social needs in natural and human-caused disasters and humanitarian crises, and as gatekeepers incorporating a diver...
Encyclopedia of Political Communication
"Political communication began with the earliest studies of democratic discourse by Aristotle and Plato. However, modern political communication relies on an interdisciplinary base, which draws on concepts from communication, political science, journalism, sociology, psychology, history, rhetoric, and others. This two-volume resource considers political communication from a broad interdisciplinary perspective, encompassing the many different roles that communication plays in political processes in the United States and around the world. The Encyclopedia of Political Communication discusses the major theoretical approaches to the field, including direct and limited effects theories, agenda-se...
Comparing Political Communication
Sample Text
International Law, Human Rights and Public Opinion
This book explores situations in which public opinion presents itself as an obstacle to the protection and promotion of human rights. Taking an international law perspective, it primarily deals with two questions: first, whether international law requires States to take an independent stance on human rights issues; second, whether international law encourages States to inform and mobilise public opinion with regard to core human rights standards. The discussion is mainly organised within the framework of the UN system. The work is particularly relevant to situations in which public opinion appears as discriminatory attitudes based on race, gender, age, health, sexual orientation and other fa...
Strengthening Electoral Integrity
Norris counters current pessimism about the effectiveness of democratic programs monitoring and assisting elections worldwide, arguing for international engagement.
The Spiral of Silence
Since its original articulation in the early 1970s, the 'spiral of silence' theory has become one of the most studied theories of communication and public opinion. It has been tested in varied sociopolitical contexts, with different issues and across communication systems around the world. Attracting the interest of scholars from communication, political science, sociology, public opinion and psychology, it has become both the subject of tempestuous academic debate as well as a mainstay in courses on communication theory globally. Reflecting substantial new thinking, this collection provides a comprehensive examination of the spiral of silence theory, offering a synthesis of prior research a...
