Research on the Content positioning of Network New Media and Traditional Magazine in the New Media Era

Although the new media surpasses the traditional magazines in the speed and volume of information dissemination, its information content is in a mixed state as a whole, and a huge amount of information instantly covers the people, which makes people not have enough time to think, resulting in the flattening and fragmentation of thinking. Facing the rapid development of new media, the transformation and innovation of traditional magazine media has become an urgent task. Under this development background, the contents of new online media and traditional magazines need to be repositioned to meet the challenges brought by the new social development, and fully seize the development opportunities to adapt to the development trend of media convergence. By studying the dilemma faced by traditional magazine publishing in the new media era, this paper explores the strategy of content positioning of new media and traditional magazines in the new media era, hoping to be helpful to the industry.

The Amazon and the art of income in the environmental crisis

Two objectives are integrated in this work. The first objective is to discuss the diffusion of values regarding social-environmental responsibility in the current public sphere and how they confer comparative advantages in obtaining differentiated income by companies. The second objective is to apply this discussion to the Amazon by exemplifying the relationship that Natura company develops with traditional Pan-Amazon communities, as well as the notion of sustainability and how the Amazon can be a strategic region when it comes to environmental crises. The methodology used was based on scientific articles, magazine publications directly linked to the environmental balance of the companies and reports of the Natura company that were published in their website. We concluded that the way to produce market singularities is increasingly due to the combination of production and value diffusion in the public sphere, including the symbolic appropriation of the strategic Spaces of production.

Black Mountain Poets

The New American Poetry was an anthology engendered by poet Donald M. Allen in 1960. The New Poets of England and America was edited by the poets Donald Hall, Robert Pack, and Louis Simpson just three years prior. These publications, while each claimed to represent a comprehensive review of contemporary poetry, did not apportion a single poet.Academic poets who primarily inscribe in traditional form, influenced by the relishes of T. S. Eliot and Robert Frost, made up The New Poets of England and America. There were popular poets like Richard Wilbur, John Hollander, and Adrienne Affluent. However, Allen's anthology gave the several experimental poets active in the US a platform. He visually perceived these poets as the heirs to the developments made by William Carlos Williams and Ezra Pound.The only ways this new generation's work had antecedently reached its expanding audience were through readings, publication in diminutive magazines, and independent presses. There were poets from the New York School and the San Francisco Renaissance, as well as the Beats, which included Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac. Allen additionally gave a group of writers who were anteriorly hard to relegate a new name: the Black Mountain School of poetry. Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Denise Levertov, Edward Dorn, Joel Oppenheimer, Paul Blackburn, Jonathan Williams, Paul Carroll, Robert Duncan, and Larry Eigner were among the individuals he delegated to this school. They bore the designation of the ephemeral but illustrious Black Mountain College, whose rector Olson accommodated from 1951 until its dissolution in 1956.

The Publishing of Braille Magazines in Egypt: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract: This study examines the publishing of braille magazines in Egypt, focusing on its technical, legal, and financial aspects. The study also discusses the major challenges facing braille magazine publishers; it suggests ways by which the braille magazine industry can flourish. Drawing on semistructured interviews conducted with the publishers of six braille magazines, the study findings indicated that the magazines’ editorial teams are comprised of volunteers having limited experience in journalism. Also, the magazines’ content consists primarily of articles obtained from printed newspapers and the internet, which, therefore, makes braille readers unable to access original and timely information. Moreover, the press laws in Egypt overlooked braille magazines, putting the legitimacy of this type of publication at great risk. Further, poor financial sources are considered the main obstacles encountering the magazine publishers, signifying a potential threat to the sustainability of their businesses. One possible way for this industry to improve is to attract private media companies to create braille publications by offering them tax exemptions, as well as other government incentives. Another recommendation suggested is the need for media and journalism schools to admit students with visual impairments, as the demand for well-qualified journalists with visual impairments may increase.

British and American Reception of The Red Laugh by Leonid Andreev

The article deals with the English-language reception of The Red Laugh , one of the most well-known of Leonid Andreev’s texts both in Russia and abroad. As the examples of this reception, a number of newspaper and magazine publications, memoirs, translators’ prefaces, and works of fiction are analyzed. There exist several waves of interest in Andreev’s story. They could be explained either by the appearance of new translations or by significant historic events of the time (the Russian Revolution, World Wars I and II). Andreev’s critics in Britain and America place his story in a variety of contexts - historical, social, cultural, and literary. Some literary parallels are quite expected and seem to come from Russian sources (parallels with Gorky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Turgenev), others are completely original and ‘indigenous’ to Britain and America (commentators of Andreev’s text see its resemblance with the horror and “weird” fiction of Poe, Hawthorne, Henry James, as well as with some works of war fiction, such as The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane). A wide spectrum of characteristics is given to the author of The Red Laugh ; he is perceived as a realist, expressionist, an author of horror and weird fiction, a symbolist, and a decadent.

김현송 『명랑소화집』(1948)의 특징과 소화사적(笑話史的) 의의

Kim Hyeon-song (1909-1988) wrote many plays and novels, and was active as a playwright. Published in 1948, Myeongnang Funny story Book is a work that has not received much attention due to his achievements. During the Japanese colonial period, two playbooks were published, and Yadam, a magazine specialized in storytelling, was acquired and operated. The fact that he took charge of the monthly Yadam and operated it is closely related to the publication of the fire extinguisher. Since there is no preface to this book, it is unknown what intention Kim Hyun-song intended to publish and catalog this book. The purpose of this study is to clarify the historical position and meaning of Myeongnang Funny story Book by illuminating it together in the relationship between the monthly Yadam and the existing Yadam collection. The characteristic of Myeongnang Funny story Book is that, out of the 66 narratives, there are 34 stories related to the government, centered on the king, accounting for 50%. Second, most of the stories divide the times and clearly state the names of people and places. As a result, since the story of a real person occupies the majority, it is possible to compare and analyze the factual record and anecdote of that person. Third, in Yadam, a legend section was created to distinguish it from yadam. In Myeongnang Funny story Book, ordinary narratives of unspecified people like ordinary people are introduced in a fun way. In addition, in this process, in order to make unspecified people into concrete historical figures, we are pursuing historical realism by assigning specific spaces and human names. The name ‘Myeongrang’ in Korean Laugh History is very innovative. This is because there are very few collections of digestions called ‘Cheerful’ that give ‘joyful and lively’ laughter. As Kim Hyeon-song was exposed to ‘Yadam’, he recorded the stories of historical figures in legends and folktales, and became deeply involved in the publication of magazines.

Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on the Nigerian Girl-Child and Suggested Remedies

This paper assessed the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Nigerian girl-child and suggested remedies to the problem. The objectives of the paper were to assess the impact of COVID-19 on educational development of the girl-child, the relationship between COVID-19 and gender-based violence, as well as COVID-19 and protection rights of the child. The scope of the study covers the Nigerian society particularly northern Nigeria where girl-child education is predominantly low. The methodology of the study was based on quantitative approach and data were collected from secondary sources mainly journals articles, bulletins and magazine publications on COVID-19. From the assessment, it was discovered that the major impact of COVID-19 on the Nigerian girl-child are basically in the areas of education, child protection, gender-based violence, health services and economic well-being. It was discovered that COVID-19 has led to the drop-out of the girl-child from school as well as a learning gap due to the lockdown and other strategies put in place curtail the spread of the disease. Schools were temporarily closed after which many students did not resumed after the schools were re-opened. From the fidnings of the study, it was therefore concluded that COVID-19 has negative consequences on girl-child education in Nigeria. The suggested remedies to the impact of COVD-19 on the girl-child include government looked into investing in alternate pathways to education. No one should be left behind. Structures should be put in place by all levels of government using tools like print, radio to ensure students are learning. There should be more community engagement in these areas since an online solution might not work for them because of poor internet connection and electricity. A support system should be created for them with the structures on ground already. Teachers and volunteers can have a well-organized way of engaging the children and the private sector helping to sponsor relevant infrastructure in order to bridge the gap.Corporate Social Organisations (CSOs) and Non-Governmental Organisations(NGOs) have to be engaged, to create a pool of volunteers that can engage students in an informal setting following the government’s social distancing guidelines to bridge the gap for these children.

Strategic International Expansion of Magazine Publishing

There has been an increasing number of globalised magazine brands appearing in the markets recently, Vogue and Bazaar are successful cases of that. Given this prevalent trend, it is essential to analyse the reasons and favourable conditions that make magazine companies focus on strategies of international expansion. And the experience of those successful magazine publishers could provide precious lessons for other content suppliers in media industry and also indicate right development direction for magazine companies. This article aims to discuss the reasons behind this phenomenon and provide good practice for guidance. Initially, influential factors such as digitization, saturation of home market, strength of brands, segmentation and public good characteristics are introduced, before the importance of adaptation and multiple-platform strategy is pursued. Finally, contract-based arrangements with overseas partners and acquisition strategies are discussed.

Criticism’s Contexts

Abstract Professional book reviewing in the US dates to the “golden age of periodicals” in the mid-nineteenth century, but it has recently been in decline, along with the newspaper and magazine publishing industry in general. This has transformed the microdynamics of critical culture in the US, altering relationships between professional book critics, freelance reviewers, amateur consumer-reviewers online, and academic experts. In a review of two books, the author argues that the work of criticism involves not only distinctions about works of art and the forms they take, but distinctions about other forms of criticism as well. The work of criticism involves not only distinctions about works of art and the forms they take but distinctions about other forms of criticism as well. One way or another, critics are always marking the boundaries.

Extracting Primary Emotions and Topics from the Al-Hayat Media Centre Magazine Publications, Using Topic Modelling and Lexicon-Based Approaches

It is well recognized that ISIS have effectively utilized several channels to disseminate their propaganda. Producing a considerable amount of unstructured data, the Al-Hayat Media Centre had a cornerstone role in the implementation of the propaganda which targeted audiences of the Western world. Although there was a considerable effort by researchers to analyse the ISIS’s online propaganda, there are very few studies which try to relate the above-mentioned material with the emotions associated with it. In this paper, we study the influence of all known issues of the Islamic State magazines, published by the Al-Hayat Media Centre, used to disseminate propaganda, and introduced ideas to audiences outside Iraq and Syria. We perform a series of natural language processing techniques, such as Emotion and Polarity Analysis using a lexicon-based approach and topic modelling with Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). We extract deep insights from the terrorist corpus, including the emotions that are dominant in the text, the combination of emotions (patterns) that the magazine authors attempt to evoke to the reader, the main topics of discussions and the overall ‘feel’ and theming of the propaganda. The combination of lexicon-based emotion analysis with the topic modelling further achieves a reduction in the ‘emotion noise’ that can be observed when applying the lexicon-based approach only, making clear which the dominant emotions are. The valuable findings discussed in this paper contribute to the existing Information Warfare literature as they provide a whole new perspective in the subject of ISIS’s propaganda. The method also aims to open an interdisciplinary discussion, with applications in politics, marketing, etc.

Application of the Theory of Self-organized Criticality to the Analysis of the Liberal Agenda in the Press of 1815-1825.

The subject of the research in this paper is the liberal agenda in the Russian press of the pre-Decabrist period. The object of the study is the newspapers published during this period. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that the proposed study searches for pink noise in the data that were obtained from the press of the first quarter of the XIX century. The paper shows that the public consciousness of this period was in a state of self-organized criticality. Previously, the state of self-organized criticality could be found only in systems that arose at the end of the XIX century or later. The difficulty of the problem considered in this paper is that there are almost no mass sources for such an early historical period, and very few of the available ones lend themselves to formalization. The novelty of the conducted research lies in the application of the scientific tool of the theory of self-organized criticality to data having origins in the first quarter of the XIX century. The main conclusion made by the authors of the article is that the public consciousness in the pre-Decabrist period was in a state of self-organized criticality. For the analysis, statistics of publications in newspapers and magazines were collected, which served as a reflection of the liberal agenda relevant to the period of the genesis of the Decembrists. The paper shows that the sequence of publications on liberal information issues in the Russian press in the period 1815-1825 contains pink noise. Fourier analysis was used to determine it in the dynamic series.

Characteristics and Motivational Factors of American Equine Journalists

The purpose of this study was to identify the demographic characteristics, career motivations, and professional development of American equine journalists. An online survey was distributed to equine journalists identified through their professional organizational membership. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Equine journalists were found to be predominately female, Caucasian, and averaged 53 years old. Nearly half were exposed to the equine industry prior to their career and have been working in the industry for over 15 years. Respondents were well educated and were most motivated towards their career as an equine journalist because of their interest in horses. Over 70% of equine journalists in this study participated in one to 10 professional developments in the last year, with social media management as the most frequently reported topic. Other frequently reported topics were marketing, journalistic writing, and magazine publication. Recommendations for practice include recruiting agricultural communications minor or certificate students from specialized programs such as animal science, equine science, equine studies, or livestock. Future research should consider the influence of pre-career experiences on equine journalist career motivations and skill development.
