Kai kurie faktai, išplečiantys žinias apie Mykolą Tvarauską
Get PDFMykolas Tvarauskas (1844–1921), the pioneer of the American Lithuanian press, owns the first American Lithuanian publications of various types and genres – English-Lithuanian and Lithuanian English dictionary, poem „I am the first to come to you“, recall „Dear Brothers“ (1875), newspaper „Gazieta lietuviška“ (1879), translation books and other works.Amerikos lietuvių spaudos pradininkui Mykolui Tvarauskui (1844–1921) priklauso pirmieji įvairaus pobūdžio ir žanrų Amerikos lietuviški spaudiniai – žodynas „Tlumočius arba Slovnikas angielckai-lietuviškas ir lietuviškai angielckas”, eilėraštis „Aš pirmas ateinu pas jus…”, atsišaukimas „Mieli Brolej“ (1875), laikraštis „Gazieta lietuviška” (1879), vertimų knygelės ir kt.
Apie M. Tvarauską, po sukilimo 1866 m. atvykusį į Ameriką, rašė Vaclovas Biržiška, Dalia Gargasaitė, Antanas Kučas, Antanas Milukas, Leonas Pažūsis, Bronius Raguotis, Juozas Otas Širvydas, Vytautas Širvydas, Jonas Šliūpas ir kt. Žinios apie jį skelbtos lietuviškose enciklopedijose (taip pa anglų kalba), Amerikos lietuvių istorijos veikaluose, kituose leidiniuose, periodikoje. Tarp jų dėl pažintinės reikšmės pažymėtinas naujausias 1997 m.specialus leidinys „M. Tvarauskas. Pirmoji lietuviška knyga”.Jame sudėti fotografuotiniu būdu perspausdinti pirmieji M. Tvarausko spaudiniai – žodynas ir atsišaukimas, taip pat kita medžiaga apie jį.
Nuo 1883 m. „Aušroje“ randamų pirmųjų užuominų apie M. Tvarausko spaustuvę ir jo leistą laikraštį iki minėto 1997 m. leidinio apie jį jau susidariusi tam tikra istoriografija. Tačiau joje yra svarbių spragų, neaiškių, prieštaringų, diskutuotinų dalykų
Tarp tokių klausimų – dėl M. Tvarausko pavardės, kilmės, gimimo vietos, dėl jo leidinių, ypač žodyno. Faktų, ypač naujų vis dar trūksta. Tad norint papildyti, plačiau apibūdinti, pakoreguoti M. Tvarausko biografijos ir veiklos momentus, visą jo vaizdą tenka dažnai remtis prielaidomis, samprotavimais, kiek kitaip interpretuoti vienus ar kitus teiginius. Tai šio teksto siekinys

Get PDF[full article and abstract in English]
In this article, the authors present the results of their research conducted in Polish and German online media in 2016. The major topic of the abovementioned research was the European refugee crisis in Poland and Germany and its representation in websites of four quality newspapers: Wyborcza.pl, Rp.pl, Faz.net and Sz.de. The aim of this article is to analize the role of media in public opinion-shaping in both countries. Through a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the data, the authors answered the following questions: 1) Are the media narratives of both countries different from each other? b) If so, how is the migration problem presented in Poland and in Germany? c) What are their most noticeable features?Among the most important conclusions are the following: 1) The media coverage of both countries is highly politicized; 2) Neither German nor Polish journalists of the opinion-forming quality newspapers did measurably support an isolationist policy.The research has been conducted within the scope of an International project called LEMEL (L’Europe dans les médias en ligne). This program was initiated by Cergy-Pontoise University and is now held annually. Several European countries participate in it (scientists from France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Romania are permanent members of the project’s research group). The aim of the project is a synchronous and diachronic comparative analysis of the content presented in their respective national online media.The analysis focuses on the way Europe and its problems are presented in the abovementioned media content
The Necessity of the Digital Single Market Strategy for Small Media Markets: Case of the Biggest Video-on-Demand Platforms in Lithuania and Estonia
Get PDF[full article and abstract in English]
This article analyzes the biggest Lithuanian and Estonian video-on-demand (VOD) platforms including Telia, their capabilities for fostering European film production and mass media in general. It is important to accentuate that non-linear TV and VOD services are attracting more and more users in Europe, and it is even considered that VOD could become a strong competitor for theatrical releases in film distribution, while, in the context of mass media, the growth of users might be associated with potential threats of propaganda, which still has its own distribution mechanisms within linear TV. However, the audiovisual content that is being supplied for the users of VOD platforms and TV is also regulated by the Audiovisual Media Service Directive (AVMSD). Without regulation, the users of VOD platforms and TV might face a limited choice of audiovisual content. Therefore, the Digital Single Market (DSM) strategy is aimed at creating a single market in Europe and eliminating the geo-blocking that limits user abilities to use VOD services during travel across borders while also establishing better access to digital goods and services at the same time. Looking from the perspective of the VOD platform, a DSM strategy might bring about a monopolization of VOD services in Europe; in that case, the little markets of the Baltic States would suffer. Another important issue that small media markets come across is related to the level of propaganda that is being transmitted from Russian TV channels that are registered in different EU countries. The article argues, and the research results show, that a DSM strategy and the elimination of geo-blocking do not eliminate the problem of fostering European audiovisual content that is and could be available to the users of VOD platforms in Lithuania and Estonia, and that these measures do not pay significant attention to EU’s consumer protection issues
Deficit of Trust and the Decline of Print Media in Lithuania
Get PDFSince the turn of the 21st century, the global decline of print media has become a universally accepted inevitability, along with the broad consensus that this has been brought about by the internet and social media. The ascendancy of new media and the vicissitudes of digital transformation, along with shrinking advertising revenues and the sudden death of classified advertisements, have been piling up pressure on print media worldwide. In the meantime, there are some additional local factors at work in Lithuania that could propel Lithuania to be become one of the first countries in Europe to lose the printed press for good. The decline of Lithuanian print media has been caused not only by technological progress and new innovative media business models, but also by a rather flawed development of the traditional media, as the tested instruments of trust building have faced serious difficulties in taking root in the country’s print media culture. The downturn in the print media points to the limited ability of the Lithuanian press to strike a right balance between the public interest and the efficiency of the business model, as well as to a lack of willingness to create and uphold certain standards of transparency and journalist ethics. Reluctance to discuss deficiencies of the trade in an open way and weak motivation to develop an honest, efficient and credible media regulation environment have also been responsible for the print media’s decline. The vicious circle of the controversial business model which diminishes trust, and low trust which further undermines the financial viability of Lithuanian newspapers are in effect pushing the print media out of the market earlier than pure technological progress is asking for. The predicament of the press is making an impact on the Lithuanian media in general, by narrowing the advertising market. On the other hand, choices made by the public, unfavorable to the printed press, are giving the media valuable directions to move faster towards new forms of media that are more sensitive to the public interest and, accordingly, can command higher trust

Pamėgdžiojamoji ir atavistinė žiniasklaidos politikos kryptis: Lietuvos radijo ir televizijos atvejis
Get PDFThe post-communist media theorist Karol Jakubowicz distinguished five post-communist media policy theoretical directions. In accordance with these theoretical directions the article analyzes problematic changes of Lithuanian Radio and Television (from 1987 to 1996 – when it was adopted in the first Public Information Act and the Lithuanian National Radio and Television Act) after the collapse of the Soviet totalitarian political system. The downfall of Soviet Union brought major changes in all areas of public life. The media was no exception, but the norm, which is confirmed by the media established theory: the changes of the political regime will inevitably change the prevailed media system. Lithuanian Radio and Television was a tool of the soviet government and the organization had to change a lot after the collapse of Soviet Union. The main aim of article is to analyze which one of the post-communist media policy directions the Lithuanian Radio and Television chose to adopt after the collapse of the Soviet-communist system.Straipsnyje, vadovaujantis Karolio Jakubowicziaus išskiriamomis penkiomis teorinėmis pokomunistinės žiniasklaidos politikos kryptimis, nagrinėjami probleminiai Lietuvos radijo ir televizijos (nuo 1987 m. iki 1996 m., kai buvo priimtas Visuomenės informavimo įstatymas bei Lietuvos nacionalinio radijo ir televizijos įstatymas) pokyčiai žlugus sovietinei totalitarinei politinei sistemai. Subyrėjusi Sovietų Sąjunga atnešė didelių pokyčių visose visuomenės gyvenimo srityse. Jie patvirtino žiniasklaidos teorijoje įtvirtintą apibrėžtį, kad keičiantis politinei santvarkai neišvengiamai kinta ir iki tol egzistavusi žiniasklaidos sistema. Sovietmečiu valdžios įrankiu buvęs Lietuvos radijas ir televizija taip pat turėjo keistis. Pagrindinis straipsnio tikslas – išanalizuoti, kokią pokomunistinės žiniasklaidos politikos kryptį rinkosi Lietuvos radijas ir televizija žlugus sovietinei komunistinei sistemai. Straipsnyje naudoti interviu, autorės atlikti su Domijonu Šniuku1, kuris 1989 metų vasario 13 d. tapo Lietuvos Sovietų Socialistinės Respublikos (LSSR) Valstybinio televizijos ir radijo (RTV) komiteto prie LSSR Ministrų tarybos pirmininku, o nuo 1990 metų kovo iki 1990 metų birželio 19 d. ėjo Lietuvos radijo ir televizijos generalinio direktoriaus pareigas.Taip pat su Juozu Neverausku2 – nuo 1982 metų minėto RTV komiteto pirmininko pavaduotoju, nuo 1995 metų sausio 17 d. iki 1996 metų gruodžio 13 d. laikinai ėjusiu Lietuvos radijo ir televizijos generalinio direktoriaus pareigas, su Dalia Kutraite3, kuri nuo 1997 metų sausio 21 d. iki 1997 m. vasario 18 d. laikinai ėjo Lietuvos radijo ir televizijos generalinio direktoriaus pareigas, su Algirdu Kaušpėdu4 – 1990 metų gegužę – 1993 metų sausį Lietuvos radijo ir televizijos generalinio direktoriaus pavaduotoju televizijai ir su Nerijum Maliukevičiumi5 – 1989 metų – 1992 metų Lietuvos radijo ir televizijos generalinio direktoriaus pavaduotoju radijui
