A study of professionalism and the professionalisation of journalists in Uganda from 1995 to 2008

Mayiga, John Bosco January 2008 (has links)
This study seeks to examine how Ugandan journalists’ and politicians’ views on journalism professionalisation in Uganda relate to the broad theoretical arguments about professionalism within sociology and media studies. It also seeks to examine how such views impact on the democratic role of the media. The study finds out that there are two sets of distinct ideas on journalism professionalisation. The idea espoused by politicians is statutory professionalisation in which the state plays a major role through regulation and control, hence professionalisation is seen primarily as a control system. On the other hand, journalists perceive professionalisation as nurtured by voluntarily and socially inculcated professional values, hence as a value system. The study however, finds that both sets of understandings have their own complexities. While the statutory approach has complexities like how core elements of professionalism such as professional values can be imposed through legislation, the voluntary approach to professionalism also exhibits tensions within, especially stemming from the relationship between the professional and the news organisation regarding what constitutes professionalism. The study concludes that both sets of ideas have implications for the democratic role of the media, with both perceptions of professionalism curtailing this role. Statutory professionalisation in the Ugandan political context where the state is the dominant institution brings media institutions within its control, which leads to suppression of content of democratic value through a number of means. On the other hand, the self-regulatory perception does not protect media professionalism from the assault of commercial imperatives, especially when fused with state patronage in regard to broadcasting licences and placement of advertising.

The purpose of this investigation, therefore, was first: to identify if and how violent content occurs in a Brazilian television program designed for young viewers, the telenovella, Malhação (Part 1); and secondly, to quantify sex-related violence, particularly forms that involve misogyny, gender stereotypes, and messages and images that reinforce the sexualization of teens (Part 2). The study employed two specific quantitative content analysis protocols to measure frequency and duration of violent content that reflect general and sexrelated violence. We determined types, categories and subcategories, and intensity of violence. Also, we included an analysis of demographic variables (i.e., age, race, and gender) in the program's storylines. For the first part of the study, our results confirmed the existence of a large proportion of scenes with violent content, although this appeared at a level of subtle and, therefore, low intensity. Two types were identified, priming for violence (PRI) and overt violence (VIO). Within our sample, the VIO type dominated the scenes. The highest incidence occurred in the category/subcategory of intrapersonal/psychological violence. Males were more involved in overt violence, and females in psychological violence. Teens appeared predominantly as perpetrators, and less as victims, than did adults. In the second part of the study, our results confirmed a trend towards representations of misogyny, stereotypes, female objectification, and the sexualization of female teens, as well as the acceptance of inappropriate behaviors by institutions (school and family) and the community in ...

O desenvolvimento desta pesquisa contou com o mapeamento dos programas sociais direcionados a jovens, examinando os objetivos desses programas e suas atividades, além de identificar e analisar a concepção de juventude que os fundamenta. O levantamento evidenciou que no total 17 programas estavam em execução no ano de 2013, onde foram analisados os documentos referentes aos programas e também aqueles disponibilizados nos sítios relativos aos projetos como os disponibilizados pelos membros gestores. Os programas foram agrupados conforme os objetivos centrais a que se propunham. O que parece subsidiar a atuação do poder público junto à juventude é a situação do jovem ser mais ou menos vulnerável. Os jovens objetos das políticas públicas são em geral os estereotipados como jovens problemáticos, facilmente sujeitos a “desvios”, uso de drogas e protagonismo de violência / The present study aims to investigate the concepts and objectives that underlie the actions and social programs targeted to the youths, developed in a city in the interior of the state of São Paulo. The development of this research included the mapping of social programs targeted at youths, examining the objectives of these programs and activities, and identifies and analyzes conception about youth that underlies them. The study showed that in total 17 programs were running in 2013, where documents relating to the programs and also those available on the sites for the projects such as those provided by the coordinators were analyzed. The programs were grouped according to the central objectives that had been proposed. What seems to support the performance of the government by the youth is the situation of the youth to be more or less vulnerable.

Cyberhooligans : a manifestação da violência das redes sociais /

Bagni, Guilherme. January 2016 (has links)
Orientador: Afonso Antonio Machado / Banca: Flávio Rebustini / Banca: Daniel Presoto / Resumo: As torcidas fazem parte do contexto esportivo e, consequentemente, geram influências sobre as equipe e atletas. Dentro do grupo "torcidas", existem algumas subdivisões, uma delas é "as torcidas organizadas", presentes em várias modalidades esportivas, porém neste caso serão consideradas as torcidas ligadas as equipes de futebol de campo. Suas ações são um tema que sempre é discutido, especialmente as ações violentas, e sua relação com a diretoria do clube também, já que existe uma ligação entre essas duas partes, relação esta que vêm diminuindo após certos episódios de violência. Com o crescimento das redes sociais, as torcidas também passaram a se utilizar delas, tanto para divulgar as suas atividades quanto para marcar brigas com outras torcidas. Frente a isso, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as páginas oficiais de algumas torcidas organizadas no Facebook, buscando categorizar os conteúdos postados verificando a existência de conteúdos referentes ao tema violência, por meio da análise de conteúdo online, utilizando-se de técnicas da netnografia e da análise de conteúdo. O universo desta pesquisa foi constituído pelas fanpages do Facebook de três torcidas organizadas de equipes de futebol da cidade de São Paulo. Foram analisadas todas as "postagens" destas torcidas referentes ao período do ano de 2014. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizado à análise de conteúdo, onde houve a categorização e hierarquização dos conteúdos e, após isso, análise e interpretação dos dados. Os resultados são apresentados em porcentagem. Notamos que as categorias "jogos", "mídia" e "festas" foram as que apresentaram maior destaque em relação ao resultado geral das três torcidas. Foi verificado que a questão da violência acontece em segundo plano, juntamente com o clube, o qual também não recebe destaque principal. Dentre as festas que representam grande número das postagens... / Abstract: Fans are a part of the sports context, and consequently generate influences on teams and athletes. Inside the fans group, there are some subdivisions, one of them are the organized fans. Although they are presented in many sports, this dissertation focuses on the soccer ones, whose actions, especially the violent ones, are a topic that is always on discussion as well as its relationship with soccer teams' board of directors. This relationship, however, is becoming weaken due to violent episodes. Besides that, the growth of social networks and its use by soccer organized fans, create an important mechanism to publicize its activities and to mark fights with other fans. Taking all these into consideration, this dissertation aims to analyze the official pages of some soccer organized fans on Facebook, to seek to categorize the content posted, to check for content related to the topic violence, to use the method of online content analysis, using techniques of nethnography and content analysis. The universe of this research was made up of Facebook fanpages of three differenet soccer organized fans' team of São Paulo city. We analyzed all the posts of these groups for the period of the year of 2014. For data analysis was used content analysis, which there was the categorization and prioritization of content and, after that, analysis and interpretation of data. The results are presented in percentage. We noted that the categories "games", "media" and "parties" showed the most outstanding in relation to the overall outcome of the three organized fans analyzed. It was found out that the issue of violence happens in the background, as well as the club, which does not receive major highlight. Among the parties, that represent large number of the posts, we highlight the carnival, and we realized then, the existence of different subgroups within the organized fans. We understand that this work presents advances on this topic, especially in mapping... / Mestre

Ulrick Beck = a teoria da sociedade de risco mundial / Ulrich Beck : the theory of world risk society

Bosco, Estevão, 1983- 18 August 2018 (has links)
Orientador: Leila da Costa Ferreira / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-18T09:50:37Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Bosco_Estevao_M.pdf: 1064536 bytes, checksum: 6932d843d823c854b8aeca8199aa9cd9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011 / Resumo: O primeiro objetivo consiste em compreender e interpretar a teoria da sociedade de risco mundial elaborada por Ulrich Beck, de modo a deslindar os aspectos-chave que lhe permitem a caracterização de teoria. A definição desse objetivo como problema justifica-se pelo uso do ensaio como estratégia analítica/discursiva por parte do autor. Para tanto, a mediação teórica é estabelecida de forma imanente, definindo-se os conceitos reguladores da teoria, reflexividade e risco, como condutores da análise. As teses principais da teoria são assim delineadas, com seus dilemas específicos, inovações e possibilidades prático-teóricas. A partir disso, torna-se possível a crítica imanente, que por meio de proposições específicas, permite novas formulações conceituais, aqui circunscritas às seguintes questões: aspectos processuais do conceito de reflexividade; continuidade e descontinuidade na concepção de processo histórico-social; e a relação entre reflexividade, modernidade e incerteza, sob a perspectiva dos significados do devir social. Além dessas contribuições específicas, a pesquisa se justifica por abordar uma teoria sobre a qual não há críticas estabelecidas, apesar de sua difusão nos circuitos acadêmicos de uma sociologia globalizada, de suas contribuições significativas para a compreensão sociológica de problemas contemporâneos e das controvérsias que suscita no âmbito da justificação do argumento / Abstract: The first aim is to comprehend and interpret the theory of the world risk society, formulated by Ulrich Beck, in order to unravel the key aspects that allow its characterization as a theory. The definition of this main purpose as a research question is justified by the usage of the essay by the author as an analytical/discursive strategy. To achieve this goal, the theoretical mediation is established through an immanent perspective, in which the regulatory concepts of the theory, reflexivity and risk, are defined as the analytical conductors. The main theses of the theory are thus delineated according to their specific dilemmas, innovations and practical and theoretical possibilities. From this, the immanent critique becomes possible, allowing new conceptual formulations by means of specific propositions, which are related to the following issues: procedural aspects of the concept of reflexivity; continuity and discontinuity in the design of socio-historical process; and the relation between reflexivity, modernity and uncertainty, from the perspective of the meanings of social developments (devir social). Beyond these specific contributions, this research is justified by discussing a theory on which there is no critical review, despite its spread in the academic circuit of a global sociology, their significant contributions to the sociological comprehension of contemporary issues and also despite the controversies that the theory raises in the realm of the justification of the argument / Mestrado / Sociologia / Mestre em Sociologia

Hopelessness, Self-Efficacy, Self-Esteem and Powerlessness in Relation to American Indian Suicide

Edmonson, Jimmie R. 08 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the independent variables of age, gender, residence, tribal affiliation, and perceived government control over tribal rights and the dependent variables of hopelessness, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. These attitudes are then explored as to their relationship to possible feelings of powerlessness among American Indians. The survey instruments used are the Beck Hopelessness Scale consisting of 20 items (Beck, Weissman, Lester, and Trexler, 1974), (Reproduced by permission of publisher, Psychological Corporation), the Self-Efficacy Scale consisting of 30 items (Sherer, Maddox, Merchandante, Prentice-Dunn, Jacobs, and Rodgers, 1982) (Reproduced by permission of Dr. Ronald W. Rogers), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale consisting of 10 items (Rosenberg, 1972) (Reproduced by permission of Dr. Florence Rosenberg) and a demographic questionnaire consisting of 6 items. These instruments were administered to 60 American Indians that make up the sample population of 25 respondents from tribal lands (reservation setting) and 35 respondents from an urban setting. Statistical analysis consists of crosstabulations using Chi-Square and t-tests (used to verify Chi-Square) to determine the significance of the relationship of the independent variables to the dependent variables previously mentioned. Fifteen hypotheses (page 10) were tested to explore the relationships between the above independent variables and the dependent variables. Out of the 15 hypotheses that were investigated two were supported. The two hypotheses are hypothesis 10 and 11. Hypothesis 10 states; American Indians who live on a reservation have more hopelessness than those who live in an urban setting. This hypothesis was indicated to be marginal by Chi-Square analysis but when a t-test was conducted it was shown to be significant. Hypothesis 11 states; American Indians in urban residency will have more self-efficacy than reservation residents. While the data provided minimal support for the theory that hopelessness, self-efficacy, and self-esteem have a relationship to feelings of powerlessness and thus suicide in the American Indian population the outcome of the study provides pertinent data for future research.
