CURRENT DEVELOPMENT TRENDS OF MEDIA LITERACY IN EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES

Author(s): Dana Petranová,Monika Hossová,Peter Velický / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

The study deals with an investigation into the processes and projects related to the development of media education and media literacy education in the countries of the European Union. The study assesses media education activities in individual EU Member States in terms of various initiatives and projects and their primary focus. The aim of the study is to identify areas of media education and literacy to which European countries devote most attention. The authors aim to summarise and compare projects that have significantly contributed to media education development through their activities towards media education of citizens and improving media literacy in the EU. The text also focuses on extra curricular, non-formal education concentrated around activities and projects outside of the formal education system; those are mainly implemented by companies and non-profit organisations in order to involve selected groups of the population. In the text, the authors analyse secondary data and results of published researches and theoretical studies on the given topic. The introduction provides a brief description of formal, non-formal and informal education in terms of their goals and differences. The authors then characterise the areas of media education by categorising individual types of literacy (including media literacy, literacy involving critical analysis of media content, digital and information literacy, film literacy, news and reading literacy, Internet literacy and online safety, digital game literacy and media communication literacy). Existing initiatives in the EU countries are provided as examples in the identified areas and literacies. The given information is used to create a summary of the current media education activities and the dominant focal points of non-formal education initiatives in individual EU countries. The study thus offers an overview of the types of literacies and organisations actively contributing to the formation of a media literate EU population.

Lupta românilor pentru independenţă oglindită în presa şi publicistica străină

Author(s): Dan Lăzărescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 4/1978

Si l'histoire des peuples se construit à partir des événements historiques, des idées et des images, on doit convenir que ces dernières ont été assez peu étudiées jusqu'à présent. La diffusion d'une image véridique du peuple roumain, de son histoire et de ses droits politiques, a constitué une étape importante de l'histoire du sud-est européen, au XlX-e siècle, alors que l'opinion publique devenait une des forces essentielles, de la politique internationale. C'est pourquoi les ouvrages consacrés à la cause roumaine par Edgar Quinet, Jules Michelet, Hippolyte Desprez, Ubicini ou Paut Batatllard, ont joué un rôle presqu'aussi important que les prises de position politiques de Napoléon III ou de William Ewart Gladstone, en ce qui concerne les problèmes de l'autonomie et de l'unité des pays roumains. L'auteur souligne aussi le fait que chaque grande puissance européenne (à l'exception de l'Allemagne bismarckienne) a subi, entre 1875—1878, l'impact de deux ou même de trois lignes politiques différentes préconisées par des groupes de pressions contrastives. Dans ce climat complexe, le rôle des images forgées par la presse et la publicité, sur un terrain presque vierge, devait être d'un grand poids. La vaillance des combattants roumains, sous les murs de Plevna, a fait le reste. Personne n'a plus osé contester le droit à l'indépendance d'un peuple qui avait montré tant de bravoure, associée à la capacité de s'assimiler si vite les grands principes de la civilisation. Et Jules Lermtna devait saluer l'Indépendance roumaine, en affirmant que „Ies Roumains ont droit de cité parmi les gens intelligents"

Komunikacja językowa w osiemnastowiecznych francuskich wyprawach naukowych do Laponii, Peru i Afryki Południowej

Author(s): Marzena Chrobak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 54/2021

In this paper, I try to outline the image of the interlingual communication during scientific expeditions by detecting and analysing remarks about such instances in the narratives by the expeditions’ commanders. I analyse a narrative of Maupertuis on his geodesic mission to Lappland (1734- 1735), two narratives of La Condamine on his geodesic mission to Peru (1735-1743), and two narratives of Le Vaillant on his travels across South Africa (1781-1784). During his short stay in Lappland, Maupertuis was assisted by a Swedish astronomer and by a Laponian, both speaking French and Finnish. La Condamine and Le Vaillant learned local languages (Spanish, Quechua; Hottentot, Namaqua) in order to eliminate the intermediation of an interpreter. In linguistically fragmented areas, they worked with random natural interpreters. French scientists also made use of the native inhabitants’ familiarity with European languages: official languages of the colonies (Spanish in Peru, Dutch in South Africa) and French, the language of social, cultural and scientific discourse in the 18th century, which they acquired for pleasure.

Greta Thunberg – obraz aktywistki i strategie wyciszania stosowane w prawicowych mediach

Author(s): Jan Radomski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 20/2021

In recent years Greta Thunberg has become a symbol of the global climateprotection movement. The aim of the article is to analyse how this Swedish activist is portrayed in the right-wing media on the basis of press articles published between August 2018 and November 2020, and content appearing on social networks. The material shows that the central category used to describe Greta Thunberg is age, while the negativity of the narrative is supplemented by the category of disease. In accordance with the methodological assumptions of critical discourse analysis, the article aims to elaborate on the political purpose for which these categories are used. The article indicates three strategies employed in political disputes: chauvinist, liberal, and conservative. Studying how Thunberg is described seems particularly significant because the language used against her is not only an element of communication but is first and foremost a mechanism of the right’s political struggle against its ideological opponents.

COMMUNICATION AT THE WORKPLACE: GOOD PRACTICES, WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Author(s): Ana-Constantina Matei / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

We have noticed that an increasing number of university graduates find it difficult to obtain a job in a company where they feel they belong. Most graduates only sign their first employment contract to soon start searching for a new work opportunity. Changing multiple jobs over a short period of time puts the young graduates in a bad light and is also a waste of their time, when time is in fact the most valuable resource. We acknowledge the fact that the organizational culture and, as part of it, communication at the workplace play an important role in workforce fulfilment and stability on a position. The present article helps job seekers recognise the right opportunity for them before signing the employment contract and make the most of it afterwards.

STUDENTS' OPINIONS ON DIGITAL LIBRARIES IN EDUCATION - LITERATURE REVIEW

Author(s): Dragana Pavlović / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2021

In modern times, the flow of scientific information is significantly conditioned by the development of modern digital technologies. In that context, the digitalization of university libraries is especially important, which, along with the changes in higher education, has introduced significant changes in the promotion of scientific knowledge. Compared to traditional, digital libraries have a number of advantages for sharing scientific data, especially when it comes to accessibility. This was most pronounced during the Covid-19 pandemic, when physical access to libraries was difficult for many scientists and students. Accordingly, an increasing number of research papers appear in the relevant literature in which significant attention is paid to the research of attitudes towards digital libraries. The aim of this paper is to provide a systematization of papers based on research studies that examine the relationship of students to digital libraries and to point out various aspects of studying this topic. Accordingly, the paper presents the issues that the authors dealt with in the research: the level of information and communication competencies of students for adequate use of digital libraries, i.e. information literacy; different types of resources that students use in digital libraries; student perceptions of the usefulness of digital library resources, as well as mobile learning and digital libraries. In the concluding part of the paper, it is stated that digital libraries have a significant role in the process of modern study, that they represent a valuable source of scientific information for students. The conclusion is that the topic of students' attitudes towards digital libraries is very current and that with the development of new digital technologies, it will be increasingly important for researchers of different fields and orientations.

Does Politics Influence Crisis Communication? An Analysis of Health Minister Nelu Tătaru’s Discourses During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Author(s): Bogdan Podar,Andreea Voina / Language(s): English Issue: 42/2022

Crises are special instances in which leadership figures test their public communication skills. The COVID-19 pandemic represents one of these scenarios, in which responsible institutions are required to manage a communication process that provides information and builds trust amongst the public. To assess communication efficiency, it is essential to put under a lens the communication efforts of political leaders mandated to communicate with the public. This paper analyzes the communication of Romanian health minister Nelu Tătaru, one of the critical voices managing pandemic communication in the country. To illustrate the communicational profile of the leader investigation, this research aims to investigate how the subject navigated between crisis communication and political communication throughout his public statements. Building on crisis communication research, this paper displays the discursive approaches of Tătaru’s COVID-19 rhetoric in 2020. The analysis of the Health Minister’s discourses reveals an overview of the approach to crisis communication by main political actors. The results show a lack of accuracy, predictability, and clarity of the messages transmitted to the public. What is more, the results of the discourse analysis reflect a tendency of discourses in the Romanian public sphere towards populist messages, which intensely use elements of partisan, subjective or wooden language, to divert attention from the main issues.

Usporedba retoričkih karakteristika rimokatoličkih i protestantskih propovijedi

Author(s): Gabrijela Kišiček,Natalija Žanpera / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 3/2021

Rhetorical skills are important for preachers because the word of God is spread by speech. From the beginning of Christianity and Saint Augustine, it has been emphasized that eloquence can help preachers reach the faithful. The paper analyses and compares sermons of the two largest Christian faiths: Roman-Catholic and Protestant, to determine whether there are significant rhetorical differences between their preachers. Descriptive rhetorical analysis of sermons was conducted, which included the structure, style (choice of words and figures), and speech delivery (use of nonverbal and prosodic signs during sermons). The analysis showed that there are certain rhetorical differences between preachers, but they are conditioned more by the rhetorical skills of an individual preacher than religious affiliation.

Use of North Korea-Related YouTube Videos in South Korea: A Case Study of VideoMug

Author(s): Han Woo Park / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

South Koreans have been producing social media content that sharply divided between conservative and progressive perspectives. This study analyzes a YouTube video clip during a South-North summit and then expands its scope to include the entire set of North Korea-related videos. The video was accused on the presidential petition website of violating South Korea's National Security Law. Despite sparking a debate on the suitability of the video's content among YouTube viewers, the petition did not attract much attention from the general public. Using this clip as a basis, we examine how YouTubers show interest in, reactions to, and engagement with North Korea-related media content using several network metrics and visualizations. Our analysis includes extensive background on South Korea's information policy toward North Korea. Based on our findings, we recommend that the South Korean government use cognitive and communication-oriented profiling-based input when formulating their information policy toward North Korea.

How Chatbots Will Impact Public Sector and Accounting

Author(s): Maria Andronie,Luminița Ionescu,Irina Dijmărescu / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

The digital transformation of accounting will affect the daily activity of companies and will profoundly impact the employment landscape. The scope of this research is to present the components of the high-level architecture for public service chatbots and the usage of chatbots in the public sector. The last part of the research is analyzing how chatbots will impact accounting and how digitization of work will have an effect on jobs. Artificial intelligence is expanding and there are many benefits of using chatbots in the public sector for user interface, dialog management, interaction recording, and filtering and feedback from the customers. In the last decade, there has been a significant rise in interest for artificial intelligence, non- humanoid robots, chatbots, and encryption. Chatbot technology could speed up communication between advisers and clients/citizens, and more recently between accountancy and public authorities. Several European countries have implemented chatbots for providing public services in order to respond to the increasing demand of information from citizens towards public administration. The European Union encourages the use of open data portals for taxes and reporting purposes, but also for improving the quality of public services while increasing public sector efficiency. The chatbot network could improve the European public system in the near future and boost economic growth.
