Lodż hot gehuljet. Łódź hulała. Obraz kina i kultury atrakcji w żydowskiej gazecie codziennej 'Lodzer Tageblat' w latach 1908-1914

Author(s): Martyna Steckiewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 03/2013

Lodz is a perfect example of the industrial, multiethnic city, which was developing very intensively during the XIX century. The changes concerned also the social structure and lifestyle of its inhabitants. Creating of the new ideas and cultural customs affected the morals and principles. Jews as a constituted group of city residents, were experiencing those changes as well. Systematically they took part in urban everyday life and became the attractive customer for the local entertainment industry. The article presents the analysis of the reception of early cinema in the Yiddish local newspaper „Lodzer Tageblat”, for the first time published in 1908. The presence of announcements and advertisements proves that Jews constituted an important part of Lodz’s audience in premises offering different entertainment programs. By putting reception of early cinema to the context of all other municipal entertainments offered by the local theatres, circus and cinematographs, I refer to to other research in early movie‐going in Łódź.

The media tries to balance in order to choose the lesser consequential path to survive. However, they have all steered to an escalation of ethnic conflicts.

Идеологията и невъзможната й трансформация в масово комерсиално изкуство при социализма

Author(s): Angelina Petrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2019

Тhe decade of 1944-1954 marked a prominent rise of the mass-song, which became a major ideological genre. It is a genre-product that performs the ideological, state and public order of the Communist Party in tune with cultural engineering. It embodies the economy of socialist production of culture: provision with contractions at all levels, realization through sponsored state chambers, secured by contractions with state institutions in a hierarchical state order. The mass-song is created in the system of state socialized art of socialism designed by the civil engineering of socialism. Still, something prevents it from growing into commercial art - it hinders its ideological, adaptive, traumatic nature, offsetting anger and fears. Its disharmonious duality is the cause of its crisis after a decade of generously sponsored development. In the party papers officially published by the Union of Composers in 1954 and then (1956, 1958) instead of a succession of successes and conquests of a broad audience, in the mass-song, a collapse, poor performance, a crisis. In the 1970s, this led to its encapsulation.

THE JOURNALISM BETWEEN POLITICAL INSTRUMENTALIZATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

Author(s): Iskra Koroveshovska / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

Democracy begins and ends with the media – according to this worldly recognized sentence, every ordinary Balkan could estimate the democratic perspective of its own country. That is why the effect of the new media (social networks), deserves continuous scientific and research attention, also done in this paper basically through comparative and statistic methods, with specific analysis of the Macedonian case. The media revolution produced largely positive changes in everyday life. But negative effects could not be abstracted: Internet - populism, loss of confidence in the media, fake news and hate speech. Perhaps the first solution that comes to mind is law regulation. But knowing that clear basal of the network services is freedom of speech and expression, any attempt of regulation (objectively or not) is legitimately considered censorship. This paper attempts to answer the question: is it possible journalism to fight fake news through a direct media battle?

Музикантите като фенове на публиката. Образи на концертната публика и медийната аудитория

Author(s): Zhana Popova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2019

The research of the media publications and TV shows after 1989 with the participation of a certain group of musicians - the artists making Estrada - shows that there is an area where the power of the audience is a necessity that preserves the power of the author. The Estrada musicians describe their audience as a ‘good person’ or a child, they need to teach how to recognize valuable music. In the period 1990 - 2017 the musicians draw a couple of key images of the audience: the weddings audience, the parents and the child in the audience, the supranational symbol, the constantly reminded image of the “phenomenon soviet audience”. A key finding of the research is that the musicians clearly distinguish between “concert audience” and “media audience” as imaginary communities.

Elections, Representations, and Journalistic Schemas: Local News Coverage of Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib in the US Mid-term Elections

Author(s): BASHRI Maha / Language(s): English Issue: 24 (2)/2019

Communication research has systematically pointed to the disparities in news coverage of political candidates from women and minority groups. These differences may hurt the chances of these candidates at being elected. Recently more migrants are entering the political arenas in their adopted Western countries. Migrants have become the center of debates over the rights and wrongs of multiculturalism. In particular, Muslim women, in liberal democracies have been turned into an allegory for undesirable cultural difference. The November 2018 US Congressional race saw an unprecedented number of women especially minority women run for office. Ilhan Omar (representing Minnesota) and Rashida Tlaib (representing Michigan) are the first Muslim women elected to Congress. Both Omar and Tlaib won by large margins. This study examines if local news coverage of Omar and Tlaib’s candidacy was congruent to prevalent schemas in representations of Muslim women and minorities in American media.

Author(s): Tohme Adaime Zeina / Language(s): English Issue: 24 (2)/2019

In order to expand their economy and exports and attract foreign investments, tourists and talents, governments are increasingly adopting nation branding strategies as part of their public diplomacy to promote their image and build their reputation on the international scene. Some Arab countries, mainly countries from the Gulf region, have massively invested in branding strategies to raise their profile and build their image abroad. However, Arab countries face negative images related to, among others, gender equality and women’s rights. This paper tries to highlight the impact of gender gap on nation branding, image and reputation building of three Arabic countries: United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar and Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the importance of including this dimension when nations are addressing their image and reputation.

Достъпът на хора с увреждания до програмите на аудиовизуалните доставчици на медийни услуги – задължение и демократична ценност

Author(s): Diliana Kirkovska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2018

Audiovisual media services providers play informational, educational, social, cultural roles and therefore it is of extreme importance all parts of their programmes to be easy of reach for every consumer. At high level that is to be obligatory for people with specific difficulties of usage of the media, such as the visually and hearing impaired persons/blind or deaf –TV media content should be naturally accessible via various tools and no extra charge. At high extend the legislation in Bulgaria is appropriate and well prescribed but in practice that presentation is out of time and humiliatingly small in quantity and access tools.The media providers should deliver to that specific part of the audience full access to their programmes by using different approaches – the sign-language translation, audiodescriptions and audiosubtitles, subtitles in multiplex platforms, as well as news scrolls as an alternative tool. That is a mark of the democratic society – not to exclude that part of the public but on the contrary – the visually and hearing impaired persons should get media content at ease anytime and anywhere.

Author(s): Elena Fuchedzhieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 8/2020

The present study focuses on expert knowledge as the most relevant information during crisis and the role of media in the selection and identification of experts whose knowledge and experience is presented to the audience. The coronavirus crisis was one of the most unexpected crises in Bulgaria and that is why the experts and their knowledge turned out to be in the focus of attention of the public, the institutions, the national operational headquarters, and the media. The purpose of this study is to examine how journalists find and impart the experts knowledge to their audiences during crises; which scientists and experts they invite for interviews; how they present them to the audience; what kind of dialogues they form and whether their attitude towards the different types of experts they talk to changes. Are there any differences in the dialogues with the experts in the two media selected – Bulgarian national radio and Darik radio – and what specifics and tendencies could be marked in the conversations with them during the period 8th of March – 8th of April 2020.
