Mediat lokale kanë nevojë për portret!
Get PDFKur flitet për mediat lokale, mendoj se duhet mbajtur parasysh se çdo
pretendim për nivelin dhe performancën e tyre aktuale në këtë treg të
tronditur nga zhvillimet teknologjike duhet riparë në sfondin e ecurisë së tyre
në rrafsh historik. I përmbahemi këtij koncepti duke u bazuar në idenë se ajo
nuk shfaqet papritmas si sfinksi, por ka një të shkuar. Pa shkuar thellë në
këtë drejtim pasi nuk është vendi për këtë, duam të vëmë në dukje se
periudha e viteve ‘25-‘39 në shekullin e kaluar na ofron një panoramë
interesante të mediave lokale – kryesisht shtyp i shkruar – që prezantoheshin
në tregun e kohës me fizionomitë e tyre ku vulën e linte niveli i zhvillimit të
qendrave ku botoheshin, qëndra që rrezatonin në rrafshin e kulturës për
shkak të përqendrimit të sistemit të edukimit (shkollat e mesme),
institucioneve fetare dhe forcave krijuese, shkurt elitat e vendit.
Periudha 1945 – 1990 karakterizohet nga mediat qendrore, që e nisnin
―rrugën‖ nga kryeqyteti, dhe gazetat e radiot lokale, që nga përmbajtja dhe
struktura e tyre jo vetëm ishin në hije, por edhe nga një vështrim i shpejtë i
përgjithshëm kuptohet se ishin një kopje e reduktuar e medias qendrore dhe
me të njëjtat tipare të brendshme: ideologjike, propaganduese, me mangësi të
dallueshme qartë informimi dhe me paraqitje skematike të zhvillimeve
rajonale. Thënë ndryshe, nuk mund të flitet për një media lokale të mirëfillte
me portret profesional të kristalizuar. Kjo panoramë trishtuese e medias
lokale, nuk mund të thuhet se ktheu faqe në periudhën e viteve ‗90të, ajo
thjesht gati u zhduk dhe aktualisht ajo çka ofrohet si e tillë është ndonjë
stacion radioje dhe kanale televizive me transmetime të zbehta dhe me
audienca shumë të kufizuara. Për më tepër, si kopje, ato synojnë influenca që
mund t‘i përftojnë vetëm në linjën komerciale. Zhvillimin e tyre e shohim si
një mundësi dhe prioritet në planin mediatik nisur nga mendimi se qytetet,
komunitetet e rajonet e vendit kanë nevojë për zërin e tyre, se përgatitja dhe
dalja në tregun e punës të kaq shumë studentëve të gazetarisë e komunikimit
mund të lehtësoje fazën e ngritjes e rritjes së saj dhe se ka ardhur koha që
vendi të ketë një shtyp lokal që nga ana e strukturës përmbajtësore mund të
ofrojë modele të ndryshme pasqyrimi si në kanalet klasike ashtu dhe në ato
të reja. Dhe gjejmë rast të rimarrim idenë e aspektit komercial për të theksuar
se ky faktor nuk mund të mos merret në konsideratë, por çështja është e
raporteve të tij me faktorët informim, njohje, zgjerim të horizontit kulturor
Përvojat botërore nuk mungojnë, përkundrazi madje, shtimi e fuqizimi i tyre
brenda sfondit të zhvillimeve të sotme janë një pikë orientuese për ta
instaluar e stabilizuar atë
Breaking the boundaries of private information
No full textSeveral communication theories included in the book “First View over the Theories of Communication”, by authors Em Griffin, Andrew Ledbetter, Glenn Sparks etc. display interest on the topics and their content, interpreted according to a point of view which captures aspects of individual and collective psychology, and also sociological aspects, with broad backgrounds of historic and social-cultural development. In the framework of interpersonal communication, what draws attention, among others, is the theory of social penetration (Altman&Taylor), the management of private communication theory (Petronio) or insecurity decrease, which arises from the lack of know-how or delicate situations where an individual may be (Berger). Precisely based on the ideas of these authors, professors from different American universities, we were encouraged to establish our “research camera” on the way how their findings and results would be read in the Albanian reality. The observations, which I continue to do from time to time, by contacting individuals with different identity records, bring closer a more unique picture of interpersonal communication. Many preserve the features of a person, who according to Altman and Taylor opens up in a way that reminds you of the onions, layer after layer. But in the conditions of the immigrants that return, or neighbors that exchange between one-another for a long time, the perception of American researchers finds a moderate amount of expression. From the conditions of working in immigration, to the long stay abroad which imposes a double identity, but also the life close by - the neighborhood, the city, the residence - brings an interesting view where the aforementioned factors are intertwined with other elements that serve as criteria in the studies undertaken in the humanities (age, gender, language, religion, education, social status etc. etc.). Opening up between individuals depends on this complexity of factors, but if we accept that often in our reality we can notice an unjustified social penetration just by following the logic of removing layers one after the other, then it’s valuable to observe carefully and deeper to determine which are the elements that influence this sort of communicating behave and if there is a boundary, a limit beyond which any kind of private information cannot be transferred, when in the meanwhile a part of it is already offered by the source
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
