Abstract:

The term “citizen journalism” refers to grass-roots media. The focus of this essay is mostly on the similarities and differences between Malaysian and Korean media. A crucial component of grassroots media is the ability of individuals to express their political beliefs in a democratic online environment. This article discusses how grassroots media has made it feasible for individuals to take part in politics with the aid of contemporary internet networks and digital technologies. Because of how widely the internet is used, journalism at the grassroots level has developed into a rare method of

Abstract:

Media activists who are women, queer, trans, Indigenous and/or people of colour are shifting mediascapes through intersectional autonomous journalism practices. This community-based co-research project analyses data from six semi-structured focus group workshops with media activists, who identify a contradictory logic between mainstream and alternative journalism. Two distinct autonomous journalism practices emerge that complement and extend traditional horizontal prefigurative media activist practices through an attentiveness to intersectional identities and interlocking systems of oppression

Alternative media has long been known for its tendency to rethink traditional journalism methods, promoting grassroots investigations of peripheral social groups through media genre innovation, hybridity, and counter-narratives to mainstream media. However, can we still label journalism a story that predominantly uses ethnographic methods of research that include the author’s immersion in the described topic, abandoning official sources, editing out the reporter, and offering a space for the voice of marginalized groups while deliberately avoiding objectivity, as well as borrowing filming and

Abstract:

The Rohingya Crisis in 2017 has called for widespread condemnation of Myanmar. However, reports on this event have only escalated tensions. This paper explores the practice of peace/war journalism by an international media, Aljazeera, in reporting such a crisis. To do so, this research utilizes Lynch’s peace journalism framework as a standard of conflict-sensitive media. This paper argues that evidence of peace journalism does exist, but other factors imply that war journalism is still strong. Such practice of war journalism has (1) disregarded the crisis' global ramifications; (2) put a narro

Kangzhan Ribao (War of Resistance Daily) was the cornerstone of the CCP’s ideological propaganda among its troops in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Base Area, which the Party established in early 1940. In response to the Party’s call for publishing newspapers for and by all party members and the masses, this newspaper maintained a large network of reporters while relying on those at the grassroots as its authors and turning the illiterate and semi-literate populace into its faithful audience. All these made the newspaper a remarkable success in the history of Chinese journalism.

This study explores the persisting gender equity challenges in Tanzania, despite the country's 62 years of independence. The underrepresentation of women in senior positions within media organisations, exemplified by the 2016 report by The Union of Tanzania Press Club (UTPC), serves as a focal point. While gender equity policies have been implemented by Press Clubs to elevate female journalists to leadership roles, the dearth of women in upper-tier management persists across media entities. The research investigates employment and advancement protocols using qualitative methods, particularly a

Abstract This article describes digital bricolage as a way to study the digital history of a social movement organization. Drawing from our separate research projects on The Icarus Project (TIP), we describe our respective strategies as a health humanities scholar and a journalist to trace the organization's evolution; and our research findings describe TIP's gradual shift from grassroots leadership to professional staff. In tracing TIP's digital evolution, we argue that digital bricolage can contribute to our understanding of digital organizing tactics used in modern health social movements.

Abstract:

This research involved the making of a factual documentary film, My FGM Story (), in collaboration with grassroots activists and the journalist Halimatou Cessay. It evaluated the film using Participatory Ethnographic Evaluation and Research (PEER) methods in the Brikama region of The Gambia. In The Gambia, 75 per cent of girls and women have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM), where their clitoris and other parts of their genitalia are removed for no medical reason. The results of the research showed that factual documentary film could be an effective tool in changing perceptions about

Abstract:

During the period of mass immigration from 1948 to 1951, over 34,000 Jews migrated to Israel from Turkey, constituting about five percent of all immigrants arriving in Israel during that period and about one-tenth of all immigrants from Asia and Africa. During those years, the State of Israel was engaged in absorbing Jewish immigrants on an unprecedented scale and attempting to integrate ethnic groups perceived as non-modern into an Israeli melting pot. From the establishment's perspective, the connection of immigrants from Asia and Africa to their home countries was often viewed negatively du

Abstract:

The rise of digital native media has transformed the news ecosystem in the last decades. However, actors involved in the deployment of these digital media organizations mostly come from traditional publishers with established routines, norms, and practices. In Indonesia, digital native media as a flourishing industry is distinguished sharply from the old media, once they are large as online, grassroots, and anti-establishment forms of media. Through ten (n=10) semi-structured interviews, this study analyzed the changes that professionals have faced when moving from legacy (broadcast and print)

Throughout the history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, various writings – literary, sociological, and political – retrace the challenges that have faced the nation: colonialism, access to independence, postcolonial failures, wars, dictatorships and female exploitation. Some historians, sociologists, literary critics and journalists touted the successes of colonial times and the first Republic, especially those who worked for these governments. Other essential voices remained silent, in order to avoid dictatorial repression and censure, especially under President Mobutu. With the arriv

A pivotal question since the Enlightenment has been how to promote reason to the masses. Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People and its film adaptations across four countries and seven decades let us examine this discourse across time and geography. Ibsen offers Nietzschean, elitist radicalism to save the public sphere from ignorance. Ein Volksfeind (dir. Hans Steinhoff) insists that only the Nazi Party can straighten out the confused masses. A 1978 version from a screenplay by Arthur Miller (dir. George Schaefer) makes Steve McQueen a hero-martyr for grassroots democracy, while Ganashatru (dir
