“Traditional” websites are a very good method of disseminating information for students in online environment. We might thing that with this new trend, people prefer to get information on a social network website, but actually for complex information the “traditional” websites are better.Facebook social network is very used in Romania, mostly by young people. It is a common saying around here: if you do not have a Facebook account, then you do not exist. The Facebook account of the University was created in may, 2012. Since then it has been a powerful tool for disseminating information, but mostly for photos, short messages, links and videos. YouTube and Twitter are not that used by students for finding information about their University, but during one year, I’ve recorded growth in number of followers.In this paper I compare these four online methods of disseminating information for students (may 2012- may 2013 period of time)

The article discusses the specificity of character pieces (the journalistic genre for the presentation and recommendation of a person) in the context of the rhetorical triad. Logos, ethos and pathos are three ways of shaping an argument which in a character piece have a persuasive impact on the reader by influencing his intellect, will and emotions. In journalistic practice, this means using facts and commanding direct or indirect inference in relation to the axiology of moral attitudes, as well as showing and engendering feelings, states of emotion and stimulating the imagination. The author discusses these actions based on selected journalistic texts from the magazines „Polityka” „Gazeta Wyborcza”, „Press” and „Newsweek Polska”.

The study examines the relationship between media content about war violence victims and the cultivation of victim mentality within the framework of cultivation theory. Cultivation theory presupposes the individuals who watch a great deal of television, i. e., who are exposed to media violence for a long period of time, believe the world to be violent. Victim mentality is a psychological condition of persons who see themselves as victims of others or of the environment in which they live. Such persons feel and behave as victims even when they have not directly experienced physical or mental violence. Victim mentality can be acquired in the family or in the social or media environment. Frequent consequences of the victim mentality are defensiveness, blaming others for personal maladies and a negative stance towards others and their social environment. The main assumption of this study – that the individuals who watch a great deal of television in RS, which contains a significant amount of content about the remembrance of violence victims from previous wars, demonstrate victim traits – has been partially confirmed. The study reports the results of content analysis of the news shows for RTRS and RTVBN as well as of the survey research of RS adults on the population of greater city of Banja Luka, conducted May through July 2015. The study also considers the circumstances and consequences of this vicarious victimization of sorts.

In spite of the rapid development of new technologies and media, issues related to media literacy have not been clearly discussed. The new media environment in which recipients are more and more active and devote a considerable amount of time to media content requires responsible, quality approach to media education, especially where children and youth are concerned. The field of media education lacks the systematic approach to improving children’s media literacy. It entails long-term systematic and interdisciplinary changes. Media literacy implies possessing a certain type of knowledge and adopting a critical approach. The development of critical discourse and competencies is the main goal and vital interest of media literacy.

Antisemitizam u predratnoj Jugoslaviji ni izdaleka nije poprimio razmjere kao u nekim drugim zemljama Evrope. Kod nas je antisemitizam tvorevina novijeg doba. Naime, pojavom fašizma, a naročito od dolaska Hitlera na vlast, dolazi do pojave antisemitizma u Kraljevini Jugoslaviji, kao popratne pojave nastojanja hitlerizma, odnosno fašizma, da zavlada svijetom i da mu nametne svoju ideologiju, baziranu na rasističkim osnovama, a lišenu svih ljudskih atributa. Poznato je, naime, da je jedna od komponenata njemačkog nacizma bila i borba protiv Jevreja. Fašizam je usvojio antisemitizam kao sredstvo vladajućih klasa, vjekovima isprobano da se pažnja širokih narodnih masa odvrati od stvarnih teškoća do kojih je dolazilo krivicom samog društvenog sistema.

The aim of this research was to explore the presence of information technologies in children's homes in Serbia and children's activities in the online environment, according to their age, gender and economic status, based on the theory of uses and gratifications. The research adopted the survey technique, investigating 979 children aged from 7 to 13 in five cities in Serbia: Belgrade, Niš, Novi Sad, Šabac and Valjevo. The results of our study indicate that children's age and economic status influence their usage of the computer and of the Internet, while both gender and age determine their preferred activities. It is established that there is a digital gap between the European and Serbian children. The lower opportunity to access the Internet may negatively affect children’s academic performances. Variations in the patterns of the Internet usage between boys and girls have been narrowed, while boys still remain in higher risks to be exposed to the unsafe content and behaviour in the web space. Motivation for online activities is moderated by the children’s age. Educational consequences are discussed and suggestions provided.

The paper is an attempt to consider and compare the contemporary issues of professional identity based on the crisis of leadership in journalism and media.

Nowadays, the needs of the consumer force the media to behave in a way that will enable them to survive on the competitive market. Publishers functioning on the daily press market take actions aimed at the diversification of their medium, investing in the Internet. Such actions include creating not only an online edition of the newspaper, but also multimedia portals, new services and the use of the network dialogism considering its current and future potential. It is impossible not to notice the increasingly powerful connection between the printed press and Internet projects. It is caused by economic aspects, as publishers rarely count on revenues solely from the sale of information and advertising. Intense competition forces them to change the characteristics of their products and expand ways to reach both readers and advertisers. One example of the above phenomenon is Dziennik Zachodni – the winner of the Grand Press Digital award granted by Press editors for its innovative approach to the use of modern technologies in journalistic work.
