Upholding these freedoms is a good thing, of course. But unfortunately, it is often done as a crude maneuver in the fight between different opinions – a strategic exaggeration used to cloud the view of the true dangers.

Lastly, this article discusses the findings of a qualitative survey of twelve German media journalists on their political opinions and ideals regarding the powers of media owners and managers.

It also illustrates how disinformation could spread rapidly through governmentally orchestrated campaigns via new communication tools, causing serious political consequences and high risks to activists and journalists, while aiding counter revolutions.

»Radio women in queer jobs« https://journalistik.online/en/paper-en/radio-women-in-queer-jobs/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=radio-women-in-queer-jobs Mon, 05 Dec 2022 16:42:50 +0000 https://journalistik.online/?p=12697 By Stine Eckert / For more than 90 years, the magazine Broadcasting (now titled Broadcasting & Cable) has been one of the most influential trade publications for American radio. A qualitative textual analysis of its coverage between 1931 and 1939, when radio became commercialized, found that the magazine rarely mentioned women working in radio production and management. Women who had such roles were framed as outliers.

An ideal hobby garden (for me) https://journalistik.online/en/essay-en/an-ideal-hobby-garden-for-me/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=an-ideal-hobby-garden-for-me Mon, 05 Dec 2022 16:42:50 +0000 https://journalistik.online/?p=12699 By Roger Blum / Absurdly few experts from communication science and media law participate in the bodies of media regulation - in press councils, broadcasting councils, television councils, audience councils, media councils - and in the media in ombudsman’s offices in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. That is a shortcoming. Knowledge of fundamental rights and media law, media ethics, journalism, media structures and media effects research would help to find meaningful solutions.

The Top 10 of Book Journalism https://journalistik.online/en/review-en/the-top-10-of-book-journalism-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-top-10-of-book-journalism-2 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 16:42:50 +0000 https://journalistik.online/?p=12703 By Fritz Hausjell, Wolfgang R. Langenbucher, Maria Beinborn (contributing co-author) / The idea of selecting and presenting the best books written by journalists is a project of the Institute for Journalism and Communication Studies at the University of Vienna, co-founded by Hannes Haas (1957-2014) and compiled by Wolfgang R. Langenbucher and Fritz Hausjell. In 2020 and 2021 the publication of the recommendation list had to be temporarily suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The collecting of relevant books, however, was not: more than 100 copies were sent in for review during this period. Starting in 2023, the project will return to a normal rhythm, publishing a recommendation list three times a year. For the selection of books published in 2020 and 2021 we will proceed differently since these books have already resonated with an audience, receiving (often journalistic) criticism. Therefore, we will summarize characteristic quotes of book reviews by daily and weekly newspapers.

The volume Medien und Wahrheit provides an interpretative order, insights, and concrete food for thought and calls to action from an ethical perspective. The book thus also lays down theoretical foundations, which makes it an important work beyond the immediate present.
