Killings, as the most extreme form of violence against journalists, receive considerable attentio... more Killings, as the most extreme form of violence against journalists, receive considerable attention, but journalists experience a variety of threats from surveillance to gendered cyber targeting and hate speech, or even the intentional deprivation of their financial basis. This article provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework of journalists’ safety, summarized in a conceptual model. The aim is to advance the study of journalists’ safety and improve safety practices, journalism education, advocacy, and policy making - vital as press freedom and fundamental human rights face multifaceted challenges, compromising journalists’ ability to serve their societies. Journalists’ occupational safety comprises personal (physical, psychological) and infrastructural (digital, financial) dimensions. Safety can be objective and subjective by operating on material and perceptional levels. It is moderated by individual (micro), organizational/institutional (meso), and systemic (macro) risk factors, rooted in power dynamics defining boundaries for journalists’ work, which, if crossed, result in threats and create work-related stress. Stress requires coping, ideally resulting in resilience and resistance, and manifested in journalists’ continued role performance with autonomy. Compromised safety has personal and social consequences as threats might affect role performance and even lead to an exit from the profession, thus also affecting journalism’s wider function as a key institution.

At the same time, only a small percentage of these commercials do not use information cues at all. In the sample, the modal length was 15 seconds and the modal product was food/drinks. Also, Western influence was evident: a majority of the commercials used spoken and written English and about a sixth used Western music and non-Japanese (particularly Western) characters; the Japanese attach attributes such as modernism and value to Western symbols.

Most American and Japanese commercials used information cues, emphasizing similar kinds of information. But they differed in the average number of cues employed in some product and strategy categories. If standardization implies universality in advertising strategy and tactics, findings of this study suggest caution in trying to use the same advertising approaches in both the United States and Japan.

This study was undertaken to see how India's population control and family planning efforts were covered in the New York Times [ NYT] between 1951 and 1990. The research method used was content analysis. The NYT was selected as the sample American newspaper. During the 40-year period under study, NYT published 249 population and family planning stories on India. Each of these news stories in the NYT was categorized into different themes. The study identified 11 themes which were then classified into themes more or less likely to get covered based on Westem news values. NYT, by and large, covered India's family planning efforts when they were associated with themes such as politics, civil unrest and religious differences (in line with Western news values) and not as part of the process o...

In the days before World War I, diplomats spoke discreetly to one another about matters of common concern, and just as quietly reached agreements and drew up documents (Lee, 1968; Reston, 1972). This practice is now referred to as the &dquo;old&dquo; diplomacy. Washburn reminisces about the beginning of the end of the old diplomacy: &dquo;When Britain’s Foreign Minister, Lord Palmerston, was told about the invention of the telegraph, his reaction was: ’This is the end of diplomacy....’ (H)e was right in sensing that rapid communications would pose a threat to old-style personal diplomacy.&dquo; (Washburn, 1978, p. 2) The &dquo;new&dquo; diplomacy of today is &dquo;public diplomacy,&dquo; variously defined, but essentially incorporating a role for the public in diplomatic undertakings. In the literature on the relationship between the press and diplomacy, this is almost about the closest authors have come to a recognition of the phenomenon of media diplomacy. On the whole, there is little acknowledgement of the media’s role in diplomacy in &dquo;diplomatic&dquo; literature and little study of the diplomatic function of the mass media in media literature. This lack of literature on media diplomacy per se is not surprising in view of the recency of the phenomenon at least in terms of magnitude and visibility. Also, it is not a very easy subject to research, particularly in a society which espouses an independent (from the government) role for the press. Theoretically, the media continuum in the world ranges from the
