Perceptions Of Clickbait: A Q-Methodology Approach, Yimin Chen, Victoria L. Rubin

It is the subject of a small, but growing number of studies in disciplines ranging from linguistics, communications, and information sciences. Palau-Sampio (2016) analyzed linguistic strategies associated with tabloid journalism in the Spanish digital newspaper Elpais.com, concluding that …

The Autonomy Of News Journalists Of Kosovo’S Public Service Broadcaster Between Political Instrumentalization And Social Responsibility, Givlie Rexha

UBT International Conference

The news journalists of Kosovo’s Radio Television are a category of employees who find themselves between the influence of political factors, and the social responsibility assigned to them by the functions of the public broadcaster. Although their professional autonomy is guaranteed by the status of the public broadcaster, its actualization depends on the media hierarchy, which in itself is a product of political decision making. Politics exerts its influence on the public media of Kosovo through the right of decision making on strategic issues pertaining to its development, and through the election of the managing bodies. The effects of political …
