Worlds of journalism : journalistic cultures around the globe
\"How do journalists around the world view their own function and role in society? Based on a landmark study that has collected data from more than 25,000 journalists in 66 countries between 2012 and 2015, Worlds of Journalism examines the different ways journalists conceive of their responsibilities, their relationship to society and government, and the work they do. The authors conclude that there is no one conception of journalism and instead advance a global classification of journalistic cultures: the corporate libertarian model (e.g., U.S. and Australia); the public-service remit model (e.g., parts of continental Europe); the social interventionist model (e.g., parts of the Islamic World); the developmental faciliative model (e.g., parts of Africa and Asia); and the coercive heteronomy model (e.g., China and Russia). The book is organized around a series of key questions regarding journalists' autonomy, influences on their practice, journalism's role in society, journalists' trust in social institutions, and their perceptions about the ongoing transformation of journalism. Worlds of Journalism reveals how perceptions of journalism are created and re-created by journalists and how the practice of journalism is affected by different political, social, and economic institutions. The authors challenge essentialist ideas about journalism and provide an understanding of the diversity of worldviews and orientations of journalists in terms of roles, ethics, and influences\"-- Provided by publisher.

'Perhaps A Very Curious Document Will Emerge for Posterity on the State of Mind Around the Year 1893': Hermann Bahr's Interviews on Antisemitism
Hermann Bahr's Der Antisemitismus: Ein Internationales Interview (1894) is a forgotten study that offers a wide tapestry of insights into a problem that does not seem to go away. What is remarkable about this work is that it does not follow a scientific or scholarly template, i.e., it does not attempt to include a cross section of the population of a given country or a specific target group across many countries, but, instead, interviews the best and the brightest of the European intelligentsia of the time, irrespective of political affiliation or ideology. Writers as diverse as Henrik Ibsen, August Bebel, Theodor Mommsen, and Edmond Picard discuss four central questions: What is the nature of antisemitism? What are its causes? What is a Jew? And finally, what can be done to combat antisemitism?

Irish writers in the Irish American press, 1882-1964
\"Literary anthologies feature many of Ireland's most well-known authors, Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, J. M. Synge, George Bernard Shaw, Seán O'Casey, James Joyce, and Brendan Behan among them. While a number of notable scholars have contended that middle-class Irish Americans rejected or ignored this rebellious group of poets, playwrights, and novelists in favor of a conservative Catholic subculture brought over with the mass migration of the mid-nineteenth century, Stephen G. Butler demonstrates that the transatlantic relationship between these figures and a segment of Irish American journalists and citizens is more complicated--and sometimes more collaborative--than previously acknowledged. Irish Writers in the Irish American Press spans the period from Oscar Wilde's 1882 American lecture tour to the months following JFK's assassination and covers the century in which Irish American identity was shaped by immigration, religion, politics, and economic advancement. Through a close engagement with Irish American periodicals, Butler offers a more nuanced understanding of the connections between Irish literary studies and Irish American culture during this period\" -- Provided by publisher.

Mamilice kao prodavanje magle
U ovom su radu prikazani stavovi hrvatskih novinara i urednika o mamilicama na temelju polustrukturiranih intervjua provedenih 2023. godine s urednicima i novinarima trojih najčitanijih hrvatskih dnevnih novina, koje imaju i svoje mrežne portale – Jutarnji list, Večernji list i 24sata. Istraživanje je pokazalo kako su financijska nužnost i povećanje dosega mrežnog izdanja glavni razlozi korištenja mamilica, pri čemu je kod urednika i novinara naglašena funkcija privlačenja naslova, a zanemaren njegov informativni aspekt. Tu praksu novinari i urednici opravdavaju time da senzacionalizam naslova ne može zasjeniti kvalitetne članke, no pokazalo se da ne percipiraju opasnost toga što mamilice često vode i na bezvrijedne sadržaje. Dio urednika i novinara ipak smatra da prodavanje magle, kako se može okarakterizirati jezični modus mamilica, može biti dugoročno štetno za medij, unatoč evidentnoj neposrednoj f inancijskoj koristi. Istraživanje je ukazalo i na važan problem primjene različitih standarda u uređivanju članka koji je otisnut u tiskanom izdanju, a potom modificiran mamilicama u elektroničkom izdanju, ne uvijek uz odobravanje autora. In this paper, the views of Croatian journalists and editors on clickbait are presented on the basis of semi-structured interviews with editors and journalists of the three Croatian daily newspapers with largest circulation, which also have their own news websites – Jutarnji list, Večernji list and 24sata, that were conducted in 2023. The research showed that financial necessity and increasing the reach of online editions are the main reasons for using clickbait, while editors and journalists emphasize the attracting function of headlines, whereby its informative aspect is neglected. Journalists and editors justify this practice by saying that the sensationalist headlines cannot overshadow quality articles, but it turns out that they do not perceive the danger that clickbait headlines often lead to worthless content. Some editors and journalists still believe that bullshitting, as it can be characterized in terms of the linguistic modus operandi, may be harmful to the medium in the long term, despite the obvious immediate financial benefit. The research also pointed to the important problem of applying different standards when editing an article for the printed edition, and then using clickbait in the electronic edition, not always with the author’s approval.

Mizrahi Jews as Viewed in the Yishuv: The Case of Hannah Helena Thon
Hannah Helena Thon (1886–1954) was born in Germany and settled in Palestine in the early 1920s. She was a pioneer social worker, an activist in women's organizations, a journalist, commentator, and lecturer. Thon's widely disseminated lectures and writings in the Hebrew press won her esteem and influence as an authority on the economic, social, and cultural characteristics of Mizrahi Jews. My analysis of her views is based on her archived articles and private papers, and sheds light on the perception of Mizrahi Jews among Ashkenazi Jews in the Yishuv and its effect the socialethnic gap.

Journalists' Knowledge of AIDS and Attitude to Persons Living with HIV in Ibadan, Nigeria
This study surveyed 254 journalists from the seven media organisations
in Ibadan, Nigeria, to assess their knowledge of acquired immune
deficiency syndrome (AIDS), attitude to persons living with HIV/AIDS
(PLWA) and reports of AIDS-related issues. The journalists' overall
mean AIDS knowledge score was 10.6 out of 14 points. About one third
(29%) believed that the bite of a mosquito could transmit HIV and 28%
thought that AIDS could be cured if detected early. Although 75.2%
agreed that the rights of PLWAs to employment should be protected,
49.6% believed AIDS patients should be detained in hospital to prevent
the spread of HIV. About a quarter (25.2%) had received training about
HIV/AIDS, while 74.8% had not. The majority (65.4%) had never written
any report on HIV/AIDS-related issues, while 35.6% had done so.
Journalists in Ibadan do not have adequate knowledge of AIDS, and many
of them show negative attitude to PLWAs, thus undermining their
potential ability to educate the public about AIDS. Advocacy and
training workshops are recommended to address this problem. (Afr J

Cette étude a enquêté 254 journalistes tirés de
sept organisations médiatiques à Ibadan, Nigéria afin
d'évaluer leur connaissance du syndrome d'immunodéficience
acquise (SIDA), leur attitude envers les personnes vivant avec le virus
le l'immunodéficience humaine (VIH) et les reportages des
problèmes liés au SIDA. L'indice moyen de la connaissance
chez les journalistes sur le SIDA était 10.6 sur 14 points. A peu
près un tiers (29%) ont cru que la piqure de la moustique peut
transmettre le VIH et 28% ont cru que le SIDA pouvait être
guéri si l'on le détecte tôt. Bien que 75,2% soient
d'accord qu'il faut protéger les droits de ceux qui vivent avec le
SIDA à l'emploi, 49,6% ont cru qu'il faut retenir les malades
atteints par le SIDA dans l'hôpital pour éviter la
propagation du VIH. Environ un quart (25,2%) ont suivi des cours sur le
VIH/SIDA alors que 74,8% ne l'ont pas suivi. La majorité (65,4%)
n'avaient jamais écrit un reportage sur des problèmes
liés au VIH/SIDA alors que 35,6% l'avaient fait. Les journalistes
à Ibadan n'ont pas de connaissance adéquate sur le SIDA et
beaucoup d'entre eux ont des attitudes négatives envers les
personnes vivant avec le SIDA, ce qui sape leur capacité
potentielle pour renseigner le public sur le SIDA. Nous
préconisons les ateliers de formation et de plaidoirie comme
moyens de résoudre les problèmes. (Rev Afr Santé Reprod

Ethiopian Journalists Stand in Solidarity with Press Freedom, Denounce Increasing Crackdown
\"For decades, Ethiopia had carved a reputation for itself as one of the world's top jailers of journalists due to institutional and systemic crackdowns on critical voices and a thin tolerance for any forms of dissent. Ethiopia's infamous anti-terror proclamation, passed into law in 2009, paved the way for journalists to be charged with treason, terrorism, and be sentenced to life in prison. This led to scores of Ethiopian journalists being arrested or forced into exile and served as a pretext to shut down broadcast and print outlets which didn't cater to pro-government narratives. At no time in its modern history had an Ethiopian independent press been allowed to thrive.\" (AllAfrica.com) In this open letter discussing Ethiopia's lack of press freedoms, more than 40 Ethiopian journalists and media professionals \"wholeheartedly condemn all persecution of fellow journalists and media personnel in Ethiopia, targeted simply for doing their jobs.\"
