Abstract:

Talking to the media about a particular expertise or passion might seem easy, but not knowing certain details of the media interaction process often prevents science communicators from sharing their knowledge and expressing their enthusiasm to journalists and, through them, to their final audience, the public. Here is some advice on how to make the most of talking to the press.

Abstract:

For more than five decades, ‘Watchdog Journalism’ has been taught as the yardstick for a free media. With the so-called ‘mainstream’ media becoming increasingly commercialised—both in a global scale and domestically—and with the media being primarily owned by business conglomerates, the ‘watchdog’ model has created a journalism culture that is too adversarial and creates conflicts rather than helping to solve today’s problems/conflicts. A new paradigm of watchdog journalism is needed where the media is able to hold powerful players to account for facilitating the development/livelihood needs o

Abstract:

The watchdog role of journalists represents an oversight function that can curb corruption. Unfortunately, in many countries, the watchdog role is not accepted by some journalists. Existing literature has highlighted the role perception of the journalist and the structure of media work as determinants of the journalist’s acceptance of the watchdog role. This article investigates Nigerian journalists’ perception and performance of the watchdog functions. Based on a national survey of journalists in Nigeria, the article finds that there is a negative perception of the watchdog doctrine among Nig

Abstract:

Section 22 of Nigeria’s 1999 constitution indicates that the watchdog role is a constitutional duty of the press to ensure that government is responsible and accountable to the people. However, one major approach deployed by the press to enforce this crucial watchdog role is through investigative journalism. Investigative journalism provides a very potent platform for the press to unravel what is known as “facts behind the facts” particularly in governance. More so, the press is no doubt a beneficiary of the advantages of the new media. The rapidity and ubiquity of the new media is now very vi

Abstract:

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's troubles in 2018 owe much to Japan's resilient liberal media. Between 2011 and 2017, the media was mostly on its back foot, losing credibility over its initial coverage about the Fukushima nuclear accident and withstanding heavy-handed efforts by Abe's government to pressure and intimidate the media into self-censorship (Kingston 2018a). Since early 2017, however, the liberal Asahi newspaper led the way in exposing two cronyism scandals involving private-school projects linked to Abe. It also exposed a series of cases revolving around information disclosure practice

Abstract:

This article suggests that different free speech principles apply in cases involving ‘journalists’ compared to ‘non–journalists’, as in Connolly v. DPP. Strict principles apply when a journalist’s right to speak is threatened because the media exercise a valuable public watchdog role worth protecting even when competing interests exist. When non–journalists speak the same strict principles are absent even though speech of similar public interest may be involved. The justification for allowing interference is that such extreme and unpopular speech is not sufficiently valuable. This distinction,

However, due to violations of media freedom, lack of ethical standards as well as market failures in a media market marred with clientelism, the Mongolian media have neither lived up to the ideals of liberal media theory nor been driving forces in the ongoing democratization p

Abstract:

This article looks at media's role in the political landscape of Pakistan, and how it has shaped political narratives and governed. It examines the contribution of the media to the strengthening of democracy, with a focus on the electoral processes as well as public accountability, and, equally, the role of the media under martial law regimes where freedom of expression was severely curtailed.

Abstract:

The media's position in a democratic society has been a hot topic of discussion. India is home to the world's biggest democracy and a thriving media industry. The Indian media has recently been under fire for ignoring its social responsibility obligations. Large industrial conglomerates in the media sector challenge the survival of multiple opinions. Transnational media companies have expanded their wings in the Indian market after liberalization, pursuing their global objectives. It has come at the expense of an Indian media once regarded as a force for social change by promoting deve

Abstract:

The modern news media comprise powerful institutions that require the kind of scrutiny they direct towards other influential institutions. The 50th anniversary of The Australian offers a timely opportunity to examine how fairly and accurately the national daily newspaper has reported on its parent company's strengths and weaknesses, and those of its commercial rivals, as well as covering overall trends in the media industry. The article argues that when The Australian's Media section began in 1999, it substantially expanded for readers the available range of news and views about the media. How

Abstract:

A survey of Pakistani journalists, members of the policy community and media academics found that the mediatization of Pakistan is having a mixed effect on the stability of the country’s fragile democracy. Members of the policy community generally have a more positive view of the impact of the media on Pakistani society than those who work in the profession and say they take media reaction into account before making decisions, although all groups said the media are still unable to fulfill its watchdog role without fear of retribution. The results are in line with studies in the developed world

Abstract:

This study examines Facebook's role in the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar, highlighting regulatory gaps that enable social media misuse. Using a qualitative case study approach, it explores how Facebook's algorithm, prioritizing user engagement, amplifies misinformation and hate speech, fueling ethnic violence. Key regulatory gaps include Facebook's inadequate local content moderation, Myanmar's weak legal oversight, and the absence of robust international regulations. Despite civil society's watchdog role, limited resources hinder effectiveness. The study underscores the urgent need for digital

Abstract:

The arrival of China in Malawi has been characterised by a growing sense of uncertainty among academics who have expressed concern over the intentions of the superpower in the country. There are fears that China would like to extend its influence to Malawi as part of a broader push to increase its influence in global politics and economics. That push is in part exercised through the media. This study analyses the perception of Malawian journalists on news media reports of Chinese activities in Malawi. It uses content analysis to understand how the mediascape had changed from 2001-2007 when Chi
