Berlin Wall in the news: mass media and the fall of the Eastern Bloc in Europe, 1989
No full text"Berlin Wall in the News" is the first-hand account of a media correspondent involved in one of the shock events in history, the fall of the Berlin Wall. Lee Duffield’s book is about the way that the news media of the world saw what was happening, but in the author's words "could not believe it themselves". It reviews news media of the time and matches that with what has been written since, in history books and reminiscences of some of the leading political figures, like Mikhail Gorbachev or Helmut Kohl. It comes to the conclusion that piece by piece, the media succeeded in getting that "unbelievable" story right, if you were able to keep up with all the news. Most importantly for its subject matter this book reports on interviews with thirty correspondents from the Western news media – from America, Australia, France, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom – who go back over their experience of the break-down of the communist system in Europe. We are constantly reminded of those events by television images of the Wall coming down, and the street celebrations that went on night after night. It can be a surprise then to realise that this year it will be twenty years since it all happened. "Berlin Wall in the News" devotes much space to telling the story of the massive crowds of people who followed the lead of a brave few, and stood up for their human rights. Their rolling demonstrations in Eastern Germany, Prague, Romania and elsewhere brought down the Wall and ended the Cold War. Lee Duffield as a member of the media "pack" was European Correspondent for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and today teaches Journalism at the Queensland University of Technology in his home country. \ud

The 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall, one of the shocks of history, heralded at the time the almost unimaginable fall of communism and end of the Cold War. The dramatic "Wall" events are replayed as landmarks in television histories today; a reminder that they were media events -- on a grand scale. This book tells the story of the collapse of the Eastern bloc from the perspective of the mass media; the journalists who reported and documented what they saw but could hardly themselves believe. The author was there as one of the international correspondents. His book records interviews with leading reporters and editors who took part; revisits the actual coverage from six major Western media organisations, and checks those accounts against histories being written ten years later. It considers also the perspectives of political leaders of the era, and especially the gigantic crowds in the streets demanding freedom. To understand those crowds, well tested theories of mass social movements, and their use of media, are consulted in the book; and in the end an argument is made, that in this new Century, history can be understood very accurately from the news media, just as it happens.\u
The politics of renewable power in Spain
No full textGovernment support for renewable power in Spain has varied over time. After fostering a boom in the first decade of the 2000s, public support dried up in the early 2010s before making a reappearance in the last several years. This paper details and explains the fluctuating political fortunes of renewable power in Spain. It argues that the recent revival of support for renewable power should no come as no surprise. Rather, it reflects a reassertion of the underlying imperatives that prompted support by governments of different parties in previous years. Nevertheless, the role of government in promoting renewable power is now undergoing a fundamental change, as it shifts from directly subsidizing new generating capacity to removing barriers that might discourage private investment and facilitating the operation of market forcesOriginally published in:

New Caledonia and Vanuatu: Differences defined in a student reporting venture into the Pacific
No full textAbstract: A reporting field trip by Australian journalism students to New Caledonia and Vanuatu in mid-2014 produced markedly differing impressions of the neighbouring island societies, linked to their 'independence' status - one as an integrated territory of France, the other as an independent state. The field trip, one of a series from the Queensland University of Technology, aimed at developing reporting skills through work in unaccustomed territory, especially different cultural settings. Over 17 days, six students and the coordinator, and author of this article, generated 18 feature-length reports for online outlets and a radio documentary. The article synthesises the collected work from the field, producing a thematic statement of findings. It records broad consensus in New Caledonia in favour of enacting the Matignon and Noumea Accords on independence, while noting an undercurrent of unresolved conflicts. It characterises public life in Vanuatu in terms of a democratic spirit, and the invocation of traditional ties within society, as the country grapples with problems of development and impacts of the outside world. This work is interpretative, concerned with identifying processes underlying events in daily news. It is proposed as a first step towards a scholarly construction of meta-analyses of the interpretative and informative power of journalistic reporting
Journalists and online media: The engagement of journalists in creating new forms of media content, presentation and service to publics; a case study approach and reflection on practice
No full textThe paper examines the translation of journalism as it has been known into new media forms, principally its contribution to content-making for online services. It rests on the significance of content: what media are available to carry certain content; what content is being provided by certain media? The paper is in two parts: First, it reviews an explosion of activity in the online journalism field; it notes adaptation and innovation which this has produced, and considers future possibilities. Second, it provides a case study based on an online service launched by the author, in the context of findings made by the above review, illustrating aspects of it. A movement has taken hold among journalists internationally to exploit the possibilities of online publishing. News organisations have come forward to position themselves among leading providers of online services, and apart from that, practising journalists as individuals and in groups have taken up the new medium in novel ways. The article refers to work under way, on craft issues (developments in how to write, illustrate, represent using this medium); on economics and resources of online publishing; adaptation to different types of online media; and reporting practices. Content issues arise: Online media through making new markets generate more specialised and creative journalistic work, both in terms of what information appears and how that information is worked into the fabric of the presentation. In a case study the author recounts setting up an online service that provides specialised international news, as a reflection on practice. The case study traces conceptualisation of the service, funding, and construction of a website using modified "blog" software. It recounts the development of a journalistic modus operandi and style, experience of ten months\u27 operations, and accumulation of an audience. It will describe the project as being in various essentials, an example of independent journalistic exercises around the world. It will especially look at content issues _ surveillance, selection of material, writing, matters of presentation and illustration. Taking a segmented approach to proliferating new media, by looking at the contribution of journalism-in-place, narrows down the field of inquiry and makes it manageable. It may help with an understanding of certain central questions: what is the relationship between media formats and content; what familiar contents material is being accommodated; what new content is being induced by the nature of the media? It should add to understanding of new media in mass communication generally
