The method is contained in the conceptual framework. The article provides the constitutional legal landscape--or the overarching laws of the land--and the co-regulatory framework within which journalists work. There are four research explications： the Protection of State Information Bill （dubbed the Secrecy Bill）, a painting of the president and Freedom of Expression, an arson attack on a community radio station and finally, the death of a photojournalist at the hands of police. The argument here is that the death, the arson attack, the Secrecy Bill, and the shut-down of dissent during the exhibition of the painting of the president all undermine democracy and signify significant closures for the media in the now 20-year-old post-apartheid South Africa. The analysis and reflections will be framed within theories of radical democracy, which argue for more fights and contestations and more voices from the margins in order to deepen democracy, rather than rational consensus which closes the spaces for greater plurality.展开更多

Different from the communication way of traditional advertising, micro-film advertising has the characteristics of both social networking and video communication. With the creative characteristics of micro-film advertising, the conamunication way of video advertising has been started. In this paper, through the introduction to the advantages of micro-film advertising communication and combining with the development of micro-film in the new period, the application of aesthetic ideas to micro-film advertising is further explored, and then the striking expression effect caused by micro-film advertising is introduced.展开更多
