[creative-radio] The Costs of Becoming a Journalist

The Costs of Becoming a Journalist

Working-Class Perspectives
September 28, 2009
http://workingclassstudies.wordpress.com/

[excerpt]

A report by the British Cabinet Office released this summer offers stark
evidence of the disappearance of the working class from the journalism
profession, and the study offers some relevant observations for American
media as well.

The report, Unleashing Aspirations,
http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/media/227102/fair-access.pdf
via
http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/strategy/work_areas/accessprofessions.aspx
notes, among other things, that journalists born since 1970 predominantly
come from middle class to upper middle class backgrounds. And Journalism
ranks third in the list of the most socially exclusive professions, just
behind doctors and lawyers.

The study finds that:

Between the 1958 and the 1970 birth cohorts, the biggest decline in social
mobility occurred in the professions of journalism and accountancy. For
example, journalists and broadcasters born in 1958 typically grew up in
families with an income of around 5.5% above that of the average family;
but this rose to 42.4% for the generation of journalists and broadcasters
born in 1970.

The National Union of Journalists told the panel compiling the report that
a 2002 Journalism Training Forum poll showed that fewer than 10 per cent
of new journalists came from a working-class background and only three per
cent came from homes headed by semi-skilled or unskilled workers.

One of the many troubling findings of the report, and the one most readily
applicable to the profession here in the US, is that a prerequisite for
entrance into a career in journalism is at least one internship
experience, and that many, if not most, are unpaid. A cursory glance at
available internships here in the US reveals that of 50 intern
opportunities listed on
journalismjobs.com, only 15 offer pay. Of the 50 internships posted,
another 15 offer no pay but college credit, which at many universities,
ours included, means that doing an internship actually costs a student
tuition money. Here at YSU, students can earn six hours maximum for
internships, but at many universities, 12 to 16 are allowed, paving the
way for students to spend several thousand dollars (at least) to get an
entire academic semester of work experience.

[creative-radio] AMARC denounces attack on community radio broadcasters in Nepal

AMARC denounces attack on community radio broadcasters in Nepal

September 30, 2009, Kathmandu. The World Association of Community Radio
Broadcasters AMARC denounces the attack on the reporter of community radio
station Radio Kailash in Humla in West Nepal. The attack was carried out
by a group of locals led by member of Constitution Assembly of the United
Nepal Communist Party Maoist.

On 24th of September 2009, Radio Kailash reported that distribution of
food grain in the food starved Humla district was being unfairly
influenced by Maoist assembly members and that party members were being
favored to receive the state food aid. Following the broadcast, a group of
local persons arrived and padlocked the station. It then forcefully tried
to take the reporter of the station Post Bohora to the Maoist party office
and was severely beaten when he resisted. An assembly member of the Maoist
party is believed to have led the aggressors.

AMARC Vice President for South Asia Raghu Mainali has expressed deep
anguish and objection over the incident. "This is a serious breach of
freedom of expression and safety of a broadcaster and is highly
condemnable. No one has the right to lock up a radio station or beat up a
broadcaster. There are civilized and legal ways of making protest if one
does not agree with content of broadcast," he said. Raghu pointed to the
fact that earlier incidents of violence against community radio stations
in Nepal too were mostly perpetrated by members of the Maoists party and
that the party ought to correct its ways should it genuinely care about
the rights of the common people.

- End-

AMARC is an international non-governmental organization serving the
community radio movement in over 110 countries, and advocating for the
right to communicate at the international, national, local and
neighbourhood levels. AMARC has an International Secretariat in Montreal.

[creative-radio] Shuttered Honduran radio resumes broadcasts on Web

http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE58T0FI20090930

Shuttered Honduran radio resumes broadcasts on Web

[excerpt]

TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - The unofficial radio station of ousted Honduran
President Manuel Zelaya resumed broadcasting via the Internet on Monday, a
day after the country's caretaker government shuttered it by force.

The de facto government issued a Sunday decree suspending media freedom
and some civil liberties and sent troops on Monday to shut down Radio
Globo and a television station that backed Zelaya, ousted in a coup three
months ago.

The outside world, including U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and even
local media loyal to de facto leader Roberto Micheletti have condemned the
closures of Radio Globo and TV station Cholusat Sur, or channel 36.

On Tuesday, Radio Globo DJs played "resistance" music and took calls by
mobile phone from a cramped peach-colored bedroom in a safe house at the
end of a narrow residential alley.

Zelaya was forced into exile by a June 28 military coup but he returned
secretly last week and was given refuge in Brazil's embassy, fueling a
standoff with the government that took over after he was toppled and has
vowed to arrest him.

As the political crisis, the first serious test for U.S. President Barack
Obama in Latin America, has intensified, Micheletti has warned Brazil it
has 10 days to decide on Zelaya's fate or its embassy in Tegucigalpa will
be closed.

The media curbs have partially stifled Zelaya and his supporters, whose
near-daily protests have flagged this week.

Radio Globo Director David Romero claimed a large online audience but
admitted the station could not maintain its traditional reach.

"(Zelaya) has lost his media profile," Romero said from the makeshift
broadcast booth. "Logically, he's weakened because he does not have the
option to communicate."

[creative-radio] Another devastation in Sumatra, Indonesia

Dear friends and colleagues,

A powerful underwater earthquake has struck off the city of Padang on the
coast of Indonesia's Sumatra island, killing possibly more than 70 people so
far, injuring hundreds, and destroying houses, bridges, and hospitals.
Thousands of people are still trapped in collapsed buildings.

The 7.6 magnitude earthquake on Wednesday comes just hours after a series of
tsunamis caused death and devastation on the Pacific island nations of
American and Western Samoa. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre issued
regional tsunami warning following the earthquake, but the warning was
canceled soon afterwards.

Indonesia's meteorological agency said the quake hit 30 miles (50
kilometers) off the coast of Padang, along the same fault line the spawned
the massive 2004 Asian tsunami that killed more than 230,000 in a dozen
countries.

l'hebdomadaire " L'Indépendant ", assassiné le 13 décembre 1998 au Burkina
Faso, vise à promouvoir la pratique d'un journalisme d'investigation, de

CAMEROUN: LES LOCAUX DU QUOTIDIEN « LE MESSAGER » SCELLÉS

http://fr.allafrica.com/stories/200909250456.html

Les locaux du quotidien fermés mercredi pour non paiement d'arriérés
d'impôts de 1,4 million de Fcfa. A en croire le directeur de publication, le
quotidien fait face à de nombreux problèmes, entre autres, les arriérés de
salaire dus aux employés et qui s'élèvent à un peu plus de trois mois à la
fin du mois en cours. Pour expliquer les difficultés du groupe Free Media,
Pius Njawé évoque la chute des recettes de vente du journal suite à
l'inflation et à la crise financière et la chute drastique des recettes
publicitaires. Sans oublier l'exclusion du «Messager» de campagnes
promotionnelles de certaines entreprises à cause de sa ligne éditoriale.

Petit pays enfoui au coeur du Sénégal, la Gambie serait passée inaperçue
dans le flux de l'actualité internationale n'eussent été les frasques de son
président Yaya Jammeh. Arrivé à la tête du pays grâce à un coup d'Etat en
1994, le chef de l'Etat qui, depuis lors, s'est fait réélire
"démocratiquement" n'a jamais été absent des tablettes de Reporters sans
frontières comme prédateur de la liberté de la presse. La presse privée dans
son pays est martyrisée. Il n'aime pas les médias privés indépendants qu'il
tente de mettre au pas depuis 10 ans.

Les magistrats ivoiriens vont entamer en octobre une mission en France, dans
le cadre de l'instruction sur la disparition du journaliste Guy-André
Kieffer en 2004, en Côte d'Ivoire. Cette deuxième mission judiciaire vise à
obtenir l'inculpation de l'Ivoirien Berté Seydou pour "faux témoignage". Ce
dernier se présentant comme le chauffeur d'un commando qui aurait enlevé
Kieffer, vit actuellement en France. La justice ivoirienne veut également
inculper Bernard Kieffer, le frère de Guy-André Kieffer, "pour complicité de
faux témoignage et subornation de témoin", a souligné le conseil de Mme

dernier, a repris ses programmes le 21 septembre, après trois semaines
d'interruption pour un «conflit» avec le pouvoir. Le signal de la télévision

gouvernement Kenyan à traduire en justice les meurtriers du journaliste
Francis Nyaruri, qui avait été retrouvé décapité le 29 janvier dernier dans
la forêt de Kodera, près de sa ville natale de Nyamira. Dans une lettre
adressée au Premier ministre Raila Odinga, cette association de défense des
droits des médias basée à New York exprime sa préoccupation par rapport à
l'absence d'avancée pour ce cas. Le CPJ rappelle avoir déjà écrit, en mars
dernier, au président kenyan Mwai Kibaki au sujet de l'absence d'avancée
dans le cas du journaliste assassiné, dont le cadavre portait des traces de
torture.

Special Edition

Call for Papers

"Emerging Media and Challenges in Chinese Communities"

Editor
Professor Louisa Ha, Bowling Green State University, USA
louisah@bgsu.edu<mailto:louisah@bgsu.edu>

Submission by January 15, 2010

Launched in 2008 and published by Routledge, Chinese Journal of
Communication (CJoC) is an English language scholarly publication aimed at
elevating Chinese communication studies along theoretical, empirical, and
methodological dimensions. This special issue of the Chinese Journal of
Communication (CJoC) is to address the impact and nature of emerging media
in Chinese communities or comparison with other countries or ethnic
communities. Emerging media is defined as message delivery vehicles
achieving higher utilization among the general population, but has neither
universally accepted technical standards for content transmission and
display, nor established operation models such as revenue sources and
content strategies. Examples of emerging media are digital television,
webcasting, podcasting, cellular phones, IPTV, blogs, social media and
networking sites, etc.

China is at the forefront of emerging media. The number of Internet users
in China is the largest in the world and Chinese consumers are among the
most avid users of media technologies. The adoption of these media can
have significant political, social, and economic implications on Greater
China and present challenges to the current media industry structure
there. The use of the emerging media by overseas Chinese can reconnect
them to the mainland and connect them to the Chinese around the world.

Topics for papers could include, but are by no means limited to:

1. Political, social or economic impact of emerging media on Greater
China and other Chinese communities

2. Public perception of emerging media and their role in politics and
formation of public opinion

3. Comparison of the use of emerging media between Chinese and
non-Chinese markets

4. Comparison of emerging media use in different Chinese markets

5. Business models of emerging media in Chinese markets

6. Market competition and management of emerging media in Chinese markets

7. Comparison of the use of different emerging media by Chinese
consumers

8. Policy and regulatory issues on emerging media in Greater China.

9. Online advertising, online games, and Internet search services
development in Greater China

10. Audience measurement of emerging media in Greater China

11. Methodological issues in studying emerging media in Chinese communities

Both quantitative and qualitative approaches to the issue are welcome. We
especially encourage the collaboration of Chinese scholars and non-Chinese
scholars to submit manuscript to this issue to facilitate exchange of
ideas and offer cross-national perspectives on the issue.

Submissions should conform to the editorial guidelines of the Chinese
Journal of Communication to be found at
http://www.informaworld.com/cjoc under "Instructions for Authors."
Papers for consideration in this special edition should be emailed to:
louisah@bgsu.edu<mailto:louisah@bgsu.edu>.

Papers will undergo a double blind peer review process and should be
submitted by January 15, 2010. Informal enquiries are welcome and please
contact the special issue editor for potential topics. Planned publication
date is December 2010.

Chinese Journal of Communication (CJoC) is a refereed journal serving as
an important international platform for students and scholars in Chinese
communication studies to exchange ideas and research results.
Interdisciplinary in scope, it examines subjects in all Chinese societies
in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Singapore, and the global
Chinese diaspora. The journal will be published quarterly beginning 2010.

The CJoC welcomes research articles using social scientific or humanistic
approaches on such topics as mass communication, journalism studies,
telecommunications, rhetoric, cultural studies, media effects, new
communication technologies, organizational communication, interpersonal
communication, advertising and PR, political communication, communications
law and policy, and so on. Articles employing historical and comparative
analysis focused on traditional Chinese culture as well as contemporary
processes such as globalization, deregulation, and democratization are
also welcome.

Published by Routledge, CJoC is institutionally based at the Communication
Research Centre, the School of Journalism and Communication, the Chinese
University of Hong Kong . For more information and submission
