Media Education Initiatives In Hong Kong Media: The Uses Of Media Literacy, Alice Lee, Donna Chu

Dr. LEE, Alice

In the media education arena, there is some debate about whether media education initiatives should be supported or conducted by media organizations. In view of several notable media education initiatives recently launched by local media organizations in Hong Kong, this study examines the goals and practices of these projects, and discusses their impact on the media literacy movement. Theoretically, this study is built on critical studies of literacy. It argues that the meaning of media literacy cannot be separated from the social institutions in which it is practiced or the social processes by which practitioners acquire it.

Same Copy, Different Outlet: Wire Services, Journalism And The Erosion From Within, Jane Johnston, Susan Forde

Jane Johnston

This paper examines the role of Australia’s single news agency, Australian Associated Press (AAP) in the news media landscape and positions this within the broader international context. It uses a UK study which suggests news agency dominance of international news on the internet and investigates these claims in the Australian context. Specifically, we examine the prevalence of AAP copy in the ‘Breaking News’ sections of two major news websites to create a preliminary understanding of the impact of AAP on news content. The findings suggest an overwhelming reliance on wire copy – particularly AAP – in this section of two …

Australia’S Media Climate:Time To Renegotiate Control, Jane Johnston, Mark Pearson

Jane Johnston

In 2007, Australia was rated by two international media bodies as well down the chain in media freedom. Within its own borders, internal media groups—in particular the Australian Press Council and the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance, as well as a consortium of major employer groups—have recently released reports investigating the position of media freedoms. This article examines a select few of these shrinking freedoms which range from the passive restrictions on access to documents to the overt threat of imprisonment for publishing sensitive material. In particular, it considers laws relating to freedom of information, camera access to courts, shield …

Exploring The Political-Economic Factors Of Participatory Journalism, Marina Vujnovic, Jane Singer, Steve Paulussen

Jane B. Singer

This comparative study of user-generated content (UGC) in 10 Western democracies examines the political economic aspects of citizen participation in online media, as assessed by journalists who work with this content. Drawing on interviews with more than 60 journalists, we explore their perceived economic motivations for an ongoing redefinition of traditional journalistic roles, as UGC becomes an increasingly dominant feature of news websites

Quality Control, Jane Singer

Jane B. Singer

This study of local British newspaper journalists focuses on three aspects of entrenched newsroom culture—news values and norms, work routines and outputs, and occupational roles—to explore the boundaries that journalists see as distinguishing them from outside contributors. Findings suggest they view user-generated content (UGC) from a traditional professional perspective and weigh its benefits in terms of its contribution to the journalism they produce. While most are open to its inclusion on newspaper websites, particularly as a traffic builder and supplemental source of hyperlocal information, they believe UGC can undermine journalistic norms and values unless carefully monitored—a gatekeeping task they fear …

From Communication Power Shift To Media Education Paradigm Change: The Case Of Hong Kong, Alice Lee

Dr. LEE, Alice

The recent advancement of the new media, particularly Web 2.0, has profound social impact. It is arguably the greatest communication revolution in human history. In the past, only media professionals had the power to produce media content. Now with the help of the new media, young people familiar with advanced technologies can also share this power. For example, many of them are active users of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. As the rule of the game for social communication has changed, the power structure is overturned. Subsequently we have to ask the question: Are the young people well prepared to properly …
