THE PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE WORK: MODERN APPROACHES (FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF ACTIVITIES OF THE JOURNALISM AND NEW MEDIA DEPARTMENT AT BORYS GRINCHENKO KYIV UNIVERSITY)

Conducting career guidance work is an important stage in the formation of a competent contingent of students for every modern institution of higher education. The scientific work analyses modern methods of career guidance work from the experience of the Department of Journalism and New Media of the Institute of Journalism at Borys Hrinchenko Kyiv University. The winning vector of the work is considered by the authors as one that is aimed at helping young people and is designed to help make a certain choice of future profession, to identify special abilities and talents of high school students aimed at the media industry. The scientific article considers the methods of conducting professional activities of professionally-oriented work, namely: webinars, workshops, media festivals, which during 2020 and 2021 the department conducts as traditional. Attention is paid to online meetings with entrants and their parents, the programmes of events are analysed, a system of practical tasks, master classes from practitioners’ media are presented. The aim of the scientific article is to study the existing effective concepts of formation of career guidance work of the Department of Journalism and New Media at BGKU. During the period of 2020-2021, the Department of Journalism and New Media conducts active career guidance work among high school students, actively cooperates with media schools, school editorial offices and circles of the YUN-PRESS Information and Creative Agency. The general policy of the department is not focused only on Kyiv, but forms a target audience from all over Ukraine. This is confirmed by the number of participants in marathons and webinars-workshops from different cities of our country: Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, Kropyvnytskyi, Poltava, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi, etc. This format became possible in the conditions of distance learning, which made it possible to expand the geography and made it possible to conduct online meetings.

Neutral is the New Blind: Calling for Gender Segregated Evidence in UK Legislative Inquiries regarding the Music Industries

In late 2020, the Government responded to the enormous crisis in the UK music industries, caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, by initiating several legislative inquiries, aimed at reviewing the rules regulating the industry, including rules on commercialisation of intellectual property (IP). The aim of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) inquiries is purportedly to improve the fairness and viability of the sector, which was devastated by the pandemic. At the same time, the Covid-19 crisis served as a catalyst to expose the pre-existing inequalities and unfairness in the UK music industries.This article explores the path of the UK DCMS 2020-21 legislative inquiry into the Economics of Music Streaming as a case study to the current approach in UK regulation of the music industries. Informed by the feminist theory of relational legal feminism and embedded in the broader framework of IP Social Justice theory, the author argues that the current approach to legislative inquiries is incomplete, because it fails to take into account the systemic barriers faced by women (i.e., all who identify as women), including gender minority musicians in the sector. The evidence collected fails to investigate the lived experience of women, to the detriment of fairness of the overall proposal of future reform.

Does social media and democracy work in symbiosis in India?

Social media handles, viz., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc. have captured the internet for a long time now and the same attracts the attention from a heterogeneous set of users. These social media handles are also very popular in India and the same are being conceived as channels of democratic governance wherein citizens express their opinions on diverse perspectives from time to time. Citizens across different socio-demographic backgrounds are engaged in voicing their opinions and grievances via social media accounts. In this vein, the present study seeks to underline the manner in which social media is conducive for democracy in India-a developing country. Apart from providing the taxonomy of research across social media-democracy symbiosis, the study is based on responses from 12 experts-specifically the faculty members of social media department- such that their responses underline the need for having a conducive environment for furthering social media-democracy symbiosis. The study concludes with directions for further research and practitioner implications.

Teaching Media Entrepreneurship: How a start-up simulation can increase students' knowledge and encourage them to work in entrepreneurial contexts

Entrepreneurship and start-up activities are seen as a key response to recent upheavals in the media industry: Newly founded ventures can act as important drivers for industry transformation and renewal, pioneering new products, business models, and organizational designs (e.g. Achtenhagen, 2017; Buschow & Laugemann, 2020). In principle, media students represent a crucial population of nascent entrepreneurs: individuals who will likely become founders of start-ups (Casero-Ripolles et al., 2016). However, their willingness to start a new business is generally considered to be rather low (Goyanes, 2015), and for journalism students, the idea of innovation tends to be conservative, following traditional norms and professional standards (Singer & Broersma, 2020). In a sample of Spanish journalism students, Lopez-Meri et al. (2020) found that one of the main barriers to entrepreneurial intentions is that students feel they lack knowledge and training in entrepreneurship. In the last 10 years, a wide variety of entrepreneurship education courses have been set up in media departments of colleges and universities worldwide. These programs have been designed to sensitize and prepare communications, media and journalism students to think and act entrepreneurially (e.g. Caplan et al., 2020; Ferrier, 2013; Ferrier & Mays, 2017; Hunter & Nel, 2011). Entrepreneurial competencies and practices not only play a crucial role for start-ups, but, in imes of digital transformation, are increasingly sought after by legacy media companies as well (Kung, 2015). At the Department of Journalism and Communication Research, Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media, Germany, we have been addressing these developments with the “Media Entrepreneurship” program. The course, established in 2013, aims to provide fundamental knowledge of entrepreneurship, as well as promoting students‘ entrepreneurial thinking and behavior. This article presents the pedagogical approach of the program and investigates learning outcomes. By outlining and evaluating the Media Entrepreneurship program, this article aims to promote good practices of entrepreneurship education in communications, media and journalism, and to reflect on the limitations of such programs.

دور الإعلام الحدیث فی نشر الوعی فـی قضــایــا ذوی الإعــاقـــة The role of modern media in spreading issues of people with disabilities

يلعب الإعلام والإعلام الحديث دور مهم وأساسي في توعية وتثقيف المجتمعات، بل في رسم السياسات والتأثير في التوجهات على مستوى الفرد والمجتمع. ويعد ذوي الإعاقة من الفئات التي تحتاج أن يسلط عليها الإعلام أدواته، من باب الإنسانية والعدل والرقي المجتمعي في المبادئ والقيم، وخدمة لقضاياها المتعددة التي تعاني منها، ويغفل عنها المجتمع وأصحاب السلطة، ولعل من أهم القضايا: الوقاية والحد من الإعاقة، والتشخيص والتدخل المبکر، التشريعات الخاصة بحقوق وواجبات الأشخاص ذوي الإعاقة، والتأهيل المهني للأشخاص ذوي الإعاقة، فضلا عن الدمج في المجتمع وتقبل المجتمع التعامل مع ذوي الإعاقة، ودمجهم دمجا يليق بکل فئة من فئاتهم. ولعل من أهم وسائل الإعلام الحديث ذات الأثر الفعال والأکثر انتشارا بين فئات المجتمع وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي مثل: (التويتر، الإنستقرام، السناب شات، الفيس بوک)، وقد أثبتت کثير من الدراسات فعالية وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي وسرعة انتشارها وتأثيرها على مستخدميها وقد توصل الباحث إلى عدة توصيات من أهمها: تکثيف الجهود الإعلامية بتوعية المجتمع، وأهمية دوره في رعاية ذوي الإعاقة. حث المؤسسات والمراکز الإعلامية على توجيه بعض الأعمال نحو ذوي الإعاقة لتأکيد حقهم في ممارسة حياتهم الطبيعية. إبراز قدرات ذوي الإعاقة على العطاء وأنهم أشخاص فعالين وليسوا عالة على مجتمعاتهم من خلال وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي. تصميم برامج إلکترونية تدريبية وإرشادية تساهم في الوقاية والحد من الإعاقة، وتأهيل ودمج وتوعية ذوي الإعاقة عن طريق وسائل الإعلام الحديثة. استخدام وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي لإبراز ما يعانيه ذوي الإعاقة من مشکلات خدمية من قبل وزارات الدولة. إحداث إدارة جديدة بمسمى إدارة الإعلام الإلکتروني تتبع للهيئة العامة للإعاقة، ودعمها بالکوادر المؤهلة تقنيا وإعلاميا. إقامة دورات لموظفي العلاقات العامة والاعلام في الوزارات والمؤسسات الرسمية للدولة حول کيفية التعامل مع ذوي الإعاقة وخدمتهم، ونشر الوعي في المجتمع بقضاياهم. تشکيل لجنة إعلامية على مستوى الدول العربية لتقديم ونشر البرامج الإعلامية الهادفة التي تخدم قضايا ذوي الإعاقة. Media and modern media play an important and essential role in educating societies, but in designing policies and influencing trends at the individual and community levels. Persons with disabilities are among the groups that need to be focusing by the media, in terms of humanity, justice, and societal advancement in principles and values, and in the service of their multiple issues that they suffer from, and society and authority holders overlook them, and perhaps the most important issues: prevention and reduction of disability, diagnosis and early intervention, Legislation pertaining to the rights and duties of persons with disabilities, vocational rehabilitation for persons with disabilities, as well as integration into society and society's acceptance of dealing with people with disabilities, and their integration appropriate for each of their groups. Perhaps one of the most important modern media with an effective impact and the most widespread among groups of society is social media such as: (Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook). Many studies have proven the effectiveness of social media, the speed of its spread and its impact on its users, and the researcher has reached several recommendations such as: Intensifying media efforts to educate society and the importance of its role in caring for people with disabilities. Urging institutions and media centers to direct some work towards people with disabilities to confirm their right to practice their normal lives. Highlighting the capabilities of people with disabilities to give and that they are effective people and not dependents on their societies through social media. Designing electronic training and counseling programs that contribute to prevention and reduction of disability, and to rehabilitate, integrate and educate people with disabilities through modern media. Using social media to highlight the service problems faced by people with disabilities by state ministries. Creating a new department under the name of the Electronic Media Department affiliated with the public authority for Disability, and supporting it with technically and media-qualified cadres. creating training courses for public relations and media employees in ministries and official state institutions on how to deal with and serve people with disabilities, and spread awareness in the community of their issues. Establish a mass communication committee at the level of Arab countries to present and publish targeted media programs that serve the issues of people with disabilities.

Therefore, to bring about broader systemic change, we first need to shift the narratives around what causes hunger and who the hungry are” (4), Rebecca de Souza writes in the Introduction to Feeding the Other—an in-depth ethnographic study of two food pantries in Duluth, MN. De Souza highlights two pantries, Chum Food Shelf and Ruby’s Pantry, bringing to life the paradoxical challenges faced by both individuals and charities. She reimagines how food pantries can be part of the solution to liberate individuals from hunger in the current neoliberal era. De Souza’s book invites readers to wrestle with and understand the sticky web tying stigma (of poverty and hunger), neoliberalism, and intersectionality together through an explanation of these concepts and their connection to power.

OxIS 2019: New Media Habits Meet the Pandemic and Social Distancing

The COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged many activities, from healthcare to education, to substantially increase their reliance in online media. Even a decade ago, this would have been unthinkable. This move has been remarkably successful, despite major issues, such as around those without access to online services in their household. But this success has not only been a function of access but also the degree to which the Internet and related online services had already been embedded in everyday life and work. This paper documents the embedded nature of the Internet in the case of the many countries and the UK – where going online had become a habit rather than a new thing. This is one of a series of reports on the 2019 Oxford Internet Survey, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford. The authors thank the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport; Google Inc., and BT, for their support of this survey. This report is the fourth in the series of reports on OxIS 2019. The first report provided an overview of key themes, see: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3493763 The second focused on the narrowing but deepening digital divides across the nation, see: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3522083 The third focused on the rise of mobile Internet use, see: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3538301 All the reports in this series are available through the Oxford Internet Survey (OxIS) blog: https://oxis.oii.ox.ac.uk/blog/.

Taking Multimedia to the Extreme

The role and function of the Multimedia Resources Department has evolved as collections and services have moved online. This article outlines Sprague Library's creative use of space, technology, and programming to reimagine Multimedia Services. Montclair State University's Media Department has expanded the scope of its services and utilized technology to enhance group study spaces to encourage collaborative efforts on group and media projects. This involved working closely with the Library Technical Support Specialist and Information Technology Division in planning and designing the collaborative spaces. In addition, the author will discuss the library's use of exhibits, workshops and programming to highlight media collections and services as well as the use of Zoom in facilitating community and campus engagement through programming. New services such as lending musical instruments and presentation printing will also be discussed.

Do We Still Need the Faculty System?

Following a brief history and explanation of the extent and role of the faculty jurisdiction, the article considers various reviews of its working, and that of the ecclesiastical exemption, starting with the Report of the Faculty Jurisdiction Commission in 1984 and the Newman Report in 1997. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport stated in 2005 that the operation of the ecclesiastical exemption would be monitored periodically, and in 2010 that it would be kept under review to ensure the required standards of protection were maintained. The article argues that a no-holds-barred review of the faculty system would now be appropriate, with a view to achieving a less cumbrous structural apparatus, with a markedly less restrictive approach to changes within unlisted churches and a more rigorous and expert approach to changes affecting listed churches.

The USDA, Gender, and Race Equity: Representation on Conservation Agency Websites and Social Media

How to increase conservation practices on farmland is a never-ending discussion topic for those working in the area of agriculture. Targeting of potential clients through conservation marketing is a key principle. Yet, prior research has identified that women and people of color are largely “invisible” in agriculture, to federal agricultural and conservation agencies. In this content analysis, we conduct an analysis of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) agency websites and social media to determine the inclusiveness of marketing by USDA. Our analysis of gender and race focuses on three primary categories: (1) numbers; (2) focus; and (3) roles. Our findings reveal that the USDA is perpetuating a normative position of agriculture as a man’s world with its dominant focus on the white male. The findings highlight how women (especially those of color) are marginalized in agricultural imagery by federal agricultural agencies that provide conservation programs.

Metoda badań: Analiza historyczno-normatywna oparta na legislacji papieskiej i kompetentnej literaturze przedmiotu. Wyniki i wnioski: Analiza doprowadziła do sformułowania wniosku, że cechą przemian było systematyczne podnoszenie rangi instytucji właściwych w sprawach ładu medialnego oraz ich integracja funkcjonalna i organizacyjna. Wartość poznawcza: W artykule podjęto problem tradycji i modernizacji ustroju naczelnych organów Stolicy Apostolskiej, którego elementem jest projekt reformy Kurii zapoczątkowany przez papieża Franciszka i wdrażany od 2014 roku. Wątek ten stanowi relatywnie nowy i mało rozpoznany przedmiot analiz naukowych.

Perceived Threats to Privacy Online: The Internet in Britain, the Oxford Internet Survey, 2019

Research from the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), part of the University of Oxford, has revealed a rapid increase in use of the internet for commercial, banking and entertainment purposes. The number of people paying bills online, watching films and TV series’ and streaming music via the internet has increased significantly since 2013. However, there is a growing divide in experience and perception between those who use the internet and those who do not, which could lead to non-users potentially missing out on access to key services, widening the “digital divide”. The OxIS 2019 was launched on September 9, 2019 at BT Centre, London. The event featured remarks from Matt Warman MP, Minister for Digital and Broadband, representatives from BT, Google, and Ofcom, and senior scholars from the Oxford Internet Institute. The 2019 OxIS was funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS), BT, and Google.
