Citizen Journalism and Media Laws and Ethics in Post Truth Era: An analytical survey
Full text linkThe ‘post-truth era’ is what we might call the era of false news and rumors. In the past, in the presence of specific and limited media, the continuity of news and the selection process was complete and standardized, due to which the media of the past were ethical, credible, complete and selected. The ‘post-truth era’ is in fact a term that covers the prevalence of misinformation and fake news and the consequent unpleasant accidents and the consequent adverse effects on society over the last ten years. The exchange of substandard, unsubstantiated and fake news in less time than true, standard and authentic news in itself is a disruptive process in itself. With the advent of modern times and developmental stages, the growth of the media is a continuous constructive process, logically and theoretically it is a good change but in practice the result has been different from the expectations. Social media is working as a complete modern media channel, and is now being used extensively for communication and news coverage. To properly interpret the term post-truth era, writers should be asked to know the rules and ethical linguistic boundaries. What percentage of writers know these rules or not? Karachi-based bloggers and who are running YouTube channel from about 100 male and female were asked to fill out a survey form and were asked to analytical questions about the relevant boundary laws and response to their content
U.S. Military Withdrawal from Afghanistan: War and Peace Journalism in Pakistani Media
Full text linkWhen it comes to reporting on war and conflict, according to Galtung (1986, 1998), there are two conflicting frames, war journalism and peace journalism. War journalists cover conflict by reporting it in a way that promotes violence, dominance, and an elitist viewpoint. Peace journalists, on the other hand, report proactively on the reasons and solutions to conflicts, providing all sides with a voice via responsible Media. The present study analyzes how Dawn and the Nation depict U.S. Military Withdrawal from Afghanistan. This study focuses on the war and peace inclination of the Pakistani print media. The war and peace journalism model proposed by Johan Galtung is used to guide this research (1986). Peace journalism strives to de-escalate war and violence, promote peace, and offer opportunities for dispute resolution. A quantitative content analysis was used to examine the two newspapers' coverage for one month, from August 01, 2021, to August 31, 2021. The findings of the study revealed that the coverage of the Nation was heavily war-oriented, with a percentage of 69.2%, while Dawn's coverage was peace-oriented, with 53.7% of its contents falling in that category
Exploring the Othering Discourse in the Australian Press
Full text linkRecent research has revealed that the ‘othering’ discourse regarding Islam and Muslims has been increased significantly in the international media. Findings of the latest research provide considerable evidence that Islam and Muslims have been constructed and portrayed in a predominantly stereotypical and problematic way wherein they have been Othered by the Western media. This research paper is set to explore the existence of ‘othering’ discourse in the editorial coverage of Islam and Muslims-them by the two nominated Australian newspapers during January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. This study has incorporated lexicalization and ideological square strategies within the CDA paradigm proposed by Van Dijk to analyze the editorials published on Islam and Muslims in The Age and The Australian. The results have confirmed that both the newspapers have Othered Islam and Muslims in their editorial contents quite explicitly thus produced the ‘Othering’ discourse during the period under study
اردو ادب اور سوشل میڈیا: مضمرات و ممکنات
No full textWith the development of electronic media, the world has become a global village where geographical distances have narrowed. Huge resources have become available for mankindfor their leisure time.However, the facility comes with some effects also. The same influence of the media has affected Pakistani society in many ways. Research has evidenced that such influences has resulted in the gradual decline in social and cultural value system of every society. Such effects can easily be witnessed and determined in literature as well. In such a scenario the responsibilities of the literary personals are increased to safeguard the boundaries of the social and cultural dynamics of a society. For this purpose, writers have to accept their responsibility and make literature the representative of their traditions and values. So that the new generation can be aware of their cultural identity through literature.This paper is an attempt to explore, determine and describe the responsibilities of the Urdu writers to avoid the impact and disadvantages of social media on Urdu literature
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
