Ever since the events of 9/11, great attention has been paid to Arab mass media by politicians, experts and journalists around the world. Many have argued that Arab media has been the catalyst for various political and social developments ranging from democracy to political radicalization and from Westernization to Arab and Muslim cultural renaissance. Much of the debate, however, has been too narrowly focused-particularly on the famous TV network al-Jazeera. This leaves the majority of the dynamic Arab media unnoticed. Moreover, the existing scholarly literature on the subject often lacks...

Global competition and decentralization of decision-making coupled with the emergence of new communication and information technologies are leading more companies to use virtual teams.

To address this issue 42 teams who had a history and future were studied. Their level of social capital was measured prior to them performing two tasks in a controlled setting, one face-to-face and the other through a virtual synchronous...

Self-Reference in the Media
ISBN: 9783110194647 / Angielski / Twarda / 351 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book investigates how the media have become self-referential or self-reflexive instead of mediating between the real or fictional worlds about which their messages pretend to be and between the audience that they wish to inform, counsel, or entertain. The concept of self-reference is viewed very broadly. Self-reflexivity, metatexts, metapictures, metamusic, metacommunication, as well as intertextual, and intermedial references are all conceived of as forms of self-reference, although to different degrees and levels. The contributions focus on the semiotic foundations of...

The Diffusion of GIS in Journalism

This book examines in an exploratory manner, the likelihood of reporters to adopt Geographical Information Systems and to predict the future of the diffusion of GIS in the journalism industry using the diffusion of innovations theory. GIS is not a very new technology outside of journalism. It is a wonder therefore, that it has taken this software so long to penetrate this front, making journalism seem like the last frontier.
As a topic, GIS is also a rarely researched topic and I hope this book will provide insight and precedence in this area of new media. The study used two data collection...
