iversidad. Sin embargo, esta convivencia deseable está amenazada por un discurso populista y xenófobo, alimentado por actores políticos y amplificado -inconsciente o deliberadamente- por los medios de comunicación. Esta Guía analiza el discurso contrario a la inmigración y dedica especial atención al tratamiento que los medios de comunicación realizan de esta realidad, examinando numerosos ejemplos. Además, propone 10 vectores de actuación que pueden ayudar a periodistas y estudiantes de Periodismo a mejorar su trabajo informativo desde la perspectiva de la ética de la comunicación y los derechos humanos: contextualización, enfoques, fuentes, titulares y sumarios destacados, estilo redaccional y léxico, expresiones metafóricas, datos y cifras, imágenes, discursos de odio, compromiso ético y sensibilización."

interactions d'une minorité déterritorialisée, anthropologiquement constituée et revendiquant son identité «culturelle», les Kabyles. Dans une approche empirique interdisciplinaire, l'auteur les questionne et y apporte des réponses dans une démarche compréhensive qui tient compte de la relation qu'entretiennent les Kabyles avec le pouvoir, la mémoire et le territoire. Il réinterroge ensuite les théories de la mondialisation de la communication à la lumière de cette nouvelle donne introduite par les flux globaux." (Description de la maison d'édition)

El segundo, navega por las travesías dentro de la academia. El tercero, nos habla sobre cruzar fronteras y abrir nuevos espacios dentro de la investigación. Y el cuarto nos lleva por los recorridos impensados en los que, muchas veces, desemboca la comunicación. Así estos cuatro hilos se entrelazan por los caminos de la crítica cultural, el análisis de medios, la comunicación de la ciencia y la gestión universitaria." (Prólogo, página8)

What can we learn about digital technologies and poor children's jugaad and aspirations in the urban sprawls of India? This book explores these questions ethnographically by focusing on how children in three urban slums in India access technologies, inhabit online spaces, and personalise their digital experiences, networks, and identity articulations based on their values and aspirations. It utilises insights from studies on jugaad, expression, and sociality to argue that poor children's material realities, community relations, and aspirations for leisure, class mobility, and belongingness profoundly shape their engagements with digital technologies."

s no significant relationship between civic education radio programmes and the behaviour of the youth in Freetown Sierra Leone”, was the hypothesis that guided the research; and the Chi-squire test formula was used to test this hypothesis. The study was anchored on the Uses and Gratifications theory, the social responsibility theory and the social learning theory. A descriptive research method was used to implement this study. The youth of Freetown, from ages 15 to 35 years, as of 2021, a total of 248,508 was its population. Using the Taro Yamane’s formula for sampling, 393 respondents were arrived at for the sample size. The copies of the questionnaire were distributed to these respondents; and 11 oral interview questions were drawn as guide for data collection. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability test was used, with 0.73 result, and simple frequency/percentage analysis was used for analysis. The major findings of the study included: Civic education radio programmes were available for the consumption of the youth in Freetown. However, they had little or no effect on their behaviour as there were rampant uncivil behaviour, violence during elections, and public property vandalism amongst others. The work concluded that with continuous investigation, analysis and assessments, these programmes could be restructured to meet the desired impact on the behaviour of the youth. The study recommended, amongst others, that transistor radios be provided for the youth who could not afford digital and internet facilities, the designing and production of civic education programmes must involve trained personnel and the targeted audience together, and that civic education radio programmes should be included in the curricula of the schools."

rmation to their research questions. Audience studies can also reveal perception around gender equality and inclusivity, making it possible to identify, measure and overcome gender consumption gaps. The resource pack introduces the essential components of the following methods: online surveys; A/B testing; 1-2-1 interviews; focus groups; personas; observations; design sprints; co-creation. Each method is accompanied by a short introduction, a description of how it operates and its advantages and limitations. The guide’s sections include working examples and case studies that demonstrate how these approaches are used in practice as well as links to further resources. The final section focuses on “triangulation,” a recommended approach which brings together a range of methods that allow outlets to transform audience research into a regular and integral part of operations rather than an ad hoc activity."

highly experienced women journalists from television, radio, digital and print media. The findings reveal a range of occupational hazards confronting women journalists in Pakistan: (i) Pervasive exclusion and discrimination relegating women to soft news beats and imposing hard glass ceilings’ hindering career progression; (ii) Systemic income disparities and job precarity, emphasizing pronounced economic disadvantage for female journalists; (iii) Instances of sexual and emotional harassment at the workplace; (iv) Prevalent online public harassment and cyberbullying; and (v) Psychological stressors arising from the trauma of harassment compounded by the stigma of seeking psychological help. These findings underscore the critical interplay of gender and culture within the journalism profession, accentuating not only employment disparities but also exclusion, discrimination, and harassment. These factors not only obstruct career advancement but also inflict psychological trauma." (Abstract)

ú have a gender policy and if so, how does it manifest? To answer the research question, a qualitative analysis of four internal documents and 11 interviewees with employees was conducted. The study reveals that while Radio Cutivalú does not possess an explicit, written gender policy, gender equality is considered a central guiding principle in the radio’s operations. Its activities align with the objectives of international policies, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action – Section J, AMARC-WIN’s Gender Policy for Community Radio, and UNESCO’s Gender-Sensitive Indicators for Media. Thus, Radio Cutivalú serves as a powerful platform for addressing gender issues." (Abstract)

016). Using quantitative content analysis (N = 7,910), we show that security and cultural frames are most commonly employed while the victimization frame is much less common. Whereas tabloids use the security and cultural frames more often, the victimization, economic and administrative frames are more often invoked in quality media. We also show that the framing of immigrants is predominantly negative, and that the security and cultural are the most negatively valenced frames. Finally, we document a dominance of political actors and the practical invisibility of immigrants and refugees in the media coverage." (Abstract)
