The ＂Tangentopoli＂ scandal was still to come, but the seed of anti-politics started to grow in collective mentality. Italian singers-songwriters, the so-called ＂cantautori＂ （a portmanteau of cantare, to sing, and autori, authors）, were interested in these developments; their songs commented on elements that played a crucial role, few years later, in the irreversible crisis of the ＂prima repubblica＂： the overwhelming power of political parties, the ＂consociativismo＂ （secret power agreements between the government and the opposition）, the corruption, the growing and pervasive role of mass media Through the songs of singers-songwriters, the present essay traces the season of the scandal of ＂Tangentopoli＂, stopping at 1994, the year of the victory of＂Forza Italia＂, the new political party founded by Silvio Berlusconi展开更多

An attempt was made to determine the mechanism of implementation of this phenomenon in these periods the example of the news program ＂Facts＂ on ICTV channel and news on the TV channel ＂1＋1＂.

A brief summary is offered of some particular posture of scientific journalism from within new media. With the above background, four priorities for future science communication in context of new media are introduced： （1） a brief description about the actual status of science communication within the new media and mass communication process in general; （2） a solid theoretical and conceptual frame for scientific journalism within new media context; （3） a description of some possible forms of public for scientific journalism; （4） a brief analysis upon the possible set of negative effects of scientific journalism in new media and globalization context, and a need for a larger perspective in any attempt to understand the phenomenon of science communication within new media and mass communication processes.展开更多

The acts of violence; on the other hand, can be defined as the practices pertaining to intimidating, terrorizing and even tyrannizing human beings. There is a widespread agreement on the idea that a healthy and balanced society necessitates the conscious contribution of each member to the solution of social, economic and cultural problems. Undoubtedly, the mass media, particularly TV, plays a significant role in this process. In the same way, the media content considerably accelerates the respective learning process through news, advertisements and particularly TV serials. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the types and ratios of violence displayed in popular Turkish TV serials with respect to the total airing time. Thus, three popular TV serials with the highest rating were determined as the corpus of this study. Then, every sixth episode of each serial in a 36-week-season was chosen as the sampling. With this idea in mind, the sequences displaying violence in the respective serials were measured with content analysis method and classified according to the types of violence. Thus, ratios for each type of violence were found out and shown on graphs. It is expected that the findings will provide a basis for a further study in which a comparison between the escalation of violence in Turkish society and the ratio of violence demonstrated in popular TV serials can be made.展开更多

Using the perspective of the Italian sociologist Vilfredo Pareto, we can classify these elites in lions or foxes. In the first case, they use the force and the violence （the Macht of Weber） to impose their sovereignty; in the second case, they use persuasion and the masquerade （the Herrschaft）---the propaganda. This power is based on a more stable legitimacy and is able to transform itself in a matrix-effect reality. This form of social control has allowed the Colombian （and Latin American） 61ites the uncontrolled starvation of the natural resources found in these territories, under the influence of a wild capitalism which is strictly linked to the mass media community of the continent. This paper will expose the panorama of community media with an ethnic perspective in Colombia that hopefully works as process to facilitate the building of social links based on dialogue, reconciliation, respect, and participation, acting as watchdog of economic and political power, reporting the injustice and looking for peace solution in the region.展开更多

China is the most-frequently studied nation in Asian mass communication research. The past the 14th Dalai Lama＇s image studies mainly focus on Western mainstream newspapers, due to the fact that these newspapers are well established and frequently read by policy-makers and other influential individuals. In recent years, ＂Social media＂ has become a new buzzword. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Weibo etc. have made a considerable impact on contemporary life. What is the 14th Dalai Lama＇s image as it is represented via Western social media？ Do Western social media publish the 14th Dalai Lama＇s different contents, from a different perspective, or in a different way from that of the standard Western mainstream news outlets？ Are there any differences between the image of the 14th Dalai Lama on Western social media and on mainstream media？ What are differences between the image of the 14th Dalai Lama on Western and Chinese social media when discussing the same event or topic？ The research aims to answer these questions the 14th Dalai Lama; Western social media; Chinese social media.展开更多

Accurate and adequate translation of web pages can enhance the enterprises＇ competitiveness. This paper focuses on the features of Chinese and Western web pages of garment enterprises and the translation strategy with the guidance of mass communication theory. Results illustrate that Chinese texts favor symmetrical phrases rich in cultural connotation, whereas English texts prefer plain language with fewer culture-loaded expressions and the latter focuses more on the feeling of audiences. As a result, audience-oriented translation strategy is strongly recommended so as to maximize the communication effect of the enterprise web pages展开更多

Major international sporting events are the key channels for the exchange and dissemination of information among athletes from various countries, media coverages, national and international audiences which involves interpersonal communication, organizational communication, and mass communication at all levels. At the same time, the volunteers, especially young volunteers （mostly college student volunteers） considered as the Beijing city spokesperson and also as a group of ＂public diplomacy ambassadors＂, transfer positive energy in international communication during major international sporting events. Therefore, major international sporting events held in Beijing play an irreplaceable role in the image building of the capital city of China, Beijing.展开更多
